It was already dark outside and it was almost impossible to see inside the house, so Li Aihua came out with an oil lamp.
She placed the oil lamp on the table and said to Hu Xiaoyi, "Let's go wash up first.
Otherwise, when we finish discussing things, we will all be crowded together and it will take us a long time to clean up.”
After saying this, Li Aihua felt quite nervous, fearing that Hu Xiaoyi would disagree and make further sarcastic remarks to her.
But she wanted to help her daughter, so she gritted her teeth and plucked up the courage to come out.
Seeing Li Aihua's assist, Hu Lin curled the corners of his mouth.
It finally comes in handy.
If she encounters this kind of thing again in the future, she won't have to take all the responsibility.
Hu Xiaoyi looked at Li Aihua, who was showing rare tenderness, and felt a little dazed, as if he had returned to the time when they had just gotten married.
People are like this, they get something and then lose it, and when they get it again, they become extremely greedy at the first moment.
Hu Xiaoyi was no exception and immediately rebelled, "Dad, I'd better go and clean up first. I'll come back after I'm done."
By the time you finish cleaning and come back, the day lilies will be completely cold.
Hu Chunsheng muttered something in his mind, but nodded without showing it.
How could he act like a bad guy in front of the young couple?
Li Aihua didn't expect Hu Xiaoyi to agree so readily, and she was confused.
But she did not forget her purpose and took Hu Xiaoyi to the kitchen to get hot water.
She lit the oil lamp again and took it to the toilet. She watched Hu Xiaoyi go into the toilet to take a shower. Only then did she slowly come back to her senses and recall the story carefully in her mind.
But she couldn't figure it out after thinking about it for a long time, so she had to give up and go back to her bedroom, leaving the hall to Hu Lin and Hu Chunsheng.
Hu Xiaoyi was taken away by Li Aihua. When talking about it now, Hu Lin has become much more clear-headed. Finally, he doesn't have to be on guard against Hu Xiaoyi who can't distinguish between friend and foe all the time.
"Bitch, twenty cents a day is too much, give me less." Without any help, Hu Chunsheng could only bargain by himself.
When Hu Lin heard the word "cunt", he frowned and said, "I think it's very suitable.
After my mother finishes cooking for you, she has to come back to cook for us. Doesn't it take so much time to go back and forth?
Sometimes I don’t make it in time, and my dad might even be late for work, so how do I handle that?”
"How could that be?" Hu Chunsheng didn't think about it too much, he just wanted to bargain.
"Of course not. Have you thought about it carefully in your mind? Just say this." There was no one else here, so Hu Lin didn't even call him 'Master'.
These words made Hu Chunsheng choke.
He just thought to himself that it was none of his business. When hiring people, why should he consider whether the employee can make time or not?
“Well, I thought of a compromise.
Your Hu family provides us with lunch, which is 10 cents a day. We get paid every morning, and we only do our work for the day after we see the money."
"No, eight cents is the most you can get. If you work ten work points during the busy farming season, you only get twenty cents.
Besides, your grandma is so old, how can she do the full job? Ten cents is too much.
She also has to provide meals for your family of three, which costs a little over ten cents a day. Isn't your grandma working for nothing every day? "
What Hu Xiaoyi said was eight parts true and two parts false.
"That's not up for discussion. You can either find someone else or not earn these work points. My mother is happy to have some free time.
She is already in poor health and needs to rest more. If it weren't for the fact that we are relatives, this matter would not be negotiable."
Hu Lin didn't care whether Cao Zhaodi worked for free or not. Ten cents was her bottom line.
During the two busy farming months, I can earn six yuan at most, which is a good income and enough to buy two cans of nutritional supplements.
There’s no need to make it any lower. Can’t they just live their own lives at home every day?
The food is better than that of the Hu family.
The reason why she only had one meal at the Hu family was because the food there was not that good.
But this is also a way to save food. Although the family is not short of it now, it is also a disguised way of making money.
You can make a good tonic meal at home in the evening to make up for it.
Recently, I have noticed that Li Aihua has gained some weight on her face. Not to mention that she has lost weight during the busy farming season.
Hu Chunsheng stared at Hu Lin's little face and gritted his teeth, "One dime is one dime, but you don't just provide meals, you also have to help feed the chickens and ducks, and take care of the vegetable garden.
Otherwise, I might as well let your grandma cook at home."
This is also his bottom line.
"Impossible. If you want to control everything, you might as well let my mom live in your house.
I'm going to take care of the vegetable garden for you, so who will take care of the vegetable garden at home? "Hu Lin refused.
"You have reclaimed your own private plot?" Hu Xiaoyi was stunned.
"What about that?"
Hu Lin looked at Hu Xiaoyi with an expression that said, "You are talking nonsense."
"We've already divided it out. Do you really want us to rely on your vegetable plots for support?"
Hu Xiaoyi stopped talking, obviously thinking about a countermeasure.
Hu Lin waited for a moment, then said in distress, "It's getting dark, and I don't want to argue with you anymore.
Let's both take a step back and just feed the chickens and ducks and not take care of the vegetable garden.
If you agree, the deal is done."
Hu Lin observed Hu Chunsheng's struggling micro-expressions, and after saying this at this time, the matter was basically settled.
Feeding chickens and ducks doesn’t take much time and is an easy task, but taking care of the vegetable garden is a troublesome task.
To advance by retreating, to suppress first and then to promote, that's the principle.
"Then it's up to you."
Hu Chunsheng couldn't think of a better solution, so he had to agree.
"Tell your mother to come early the day after tomorrow."
"No problem, just prepare the money."
After the discussion, Hu Chunsheng did not stay long and went back under the cover of darkness.
After Hu Chunsheng left, Hu Lin went to the bedroom with an oil lamp to find Li Aihua.
"You heard everything we said outside."
