Chapter 129 A Thorn in the Eye
"From now on, give me fifteen dollars every month when you get your salary, or no deal!"
In those days, fifteen yuan was not a small amount of money, equivalent to a worker's salary for ten days or half a month.
Sheng Damei felt a little pained, "I want to know how much my monthly salary is?"
Ji Ping casually responded, "For the first three months, the monthly salary is 30 yuan, and after that, it's 35 yuan. As for whether the salary will increase each year, it depends on the performance of the factory."
Sheng Damei curled her lips and said, "I only have fifteen to twenty dollars left every month, which is not as much as what you give me!"
Normally, she only needs to boil water, cook and clean at home, and Ji Ping gives her 30 yuan for living expenses every month.
Ji Ping kicked her again. "It seems I've really spoiled your appetite. Okay, then, don't go to the factory to work! From now on, I'll only give you five dollars a month! And you have to go fishing with me."
Seeing that Ji Ping wasn't joking, Sheng Damei started to get a little scared. "Don't worry. If I don't go to work, won't that waste a job quota?"
For her, fishing at sea is too hard and tiring, so she absolutely cannot go.
Ji Ping deliberately said, "It won't be wasted. I can sell it for at least three thousand yuan! And I can still make a few hundred yuan. Do you think this job is easy to get? If I didn't know someone, I wouldn't be able to get it at all!"
Sheng Damei always pretended to be pitiful, tears streaming down her face, "I know I was wrong! I'll go to work! I'll listen to you! I'll give you fifteen dollars a month."
Ji Ping was a little overwhelmed. He hated her tears the most, but he could do nothing about it. "Okay! Once you get 3,000 yuan, I won't ask you for salary anymore."
"It's a deal!"
"It's a deal!"
When Sheng Damei heard this, she burst into laughter and breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, she kept her job and didn't have to go out to sea with the ship. Otherwise, she would become tough and unmarried.
Ji Ping urged, "Pack up tonight, and I'll take you to the county town tomorrow."
"Okay. You haven't said which factory."
"Pastry factory."
"Great! Doesn't that mean I'll have snacks every month?"
The pastry factory does have broken pastries.
“That costs money!”
"Spend it if you want. When I have my salary, I will not only buy it for myself, but also for you."
"That's not necessary. Just take care of yourself and give me fifteen dollars on time every month."
"Brother, you've been so good to me, it's only right that I buy you some food! It's settled! I'll go back to my room and write the guarantee."
Sheng Damei rushed into her bedroom, found a pen and paper, and prepared to write a letter of guarantee.
I haven't put pen to paper yet.
Her clothes were only 50% new, and were all bought with Ji Ping's money.
Looking back on what I did before, I feel really regretful and it wasn't worth it at all.
Having affairs with men doesn't bring much benefit, and it also ruins her health. In the end, it's still her brother who takes care of her.
This time, my brother spent so much money to buy her a job. If she doesn't do her job properly, she will really let him down.
She only has a junior high school diploma, but today is the first time she has written a letter of guarantee.
This took two hours to write.
After Ji Ping got it, he began to read it silently.
"I, Sheng Damei, hereby promise that after I start working at the pastry factory, I will give Ji Ping fifteen yuan out of my monthly salary until the total is three thousand yuan. Ji Ping is the only relative I have left in this world, and he is the best person to me. From today on, I will listen to Ji Ping, work hard, be upright, and never flirt with other men..."
As he read, Ji Ping actually burst into tears.
I never expected that Shanda Mei would reflect so deeply.
I hope she will really change her ways and make it worth his while to spend so much money.
At around ten o'clock in the evening, Chu Xuan stood at the gate of the courtyard looking around.
Why hasn’t Mu Chenze come to order the grilled fish fillets yet?
Is nothing wrong?
I waited for another fifteen minutes, but still nothing happened.
I said hello to my younger brother, took a flashlight, and planned to go to his house to ask.
Just then, Mu Chenze arrived late, pulling a cart.
With an apologetic look on his face, he said, "I overslept. Sorry."
Before Chu Xuan could speak, Chu Feng spoke first, "Brother Chenze, you never come over. My sister is worried and is about to go to your house to ask about the situation!"
Mu Chenze felt very happy. Being a little late could earn him Chu Xuan's concern!
Chu Xuan said stubbornly, "Don't get me wrong, I'm just worried that my grilled fish fillets won't sell."
Mu Chenze responded cheerfully, "Your grilled fish fillets are always selling well. Explain however you want! I'll go move the goods."
"I'm going too."
Chu Feng followed.
After a while, more than 200 kilograms of goods were loaded onto the cart.
Chu Feng slipped back into the bedroom, leaving them space to talk.
Mu Chenze was very satisfied and found that Xiaofeng was becoming more and more sensible.
I'm planning to bring him more delicious food in the future.
Chu Xuan pointed to the door and said, "I'll take you there."
Mu Chenze stood still and said, "I have something to tell you."
"Speak!"
"Ji Ping spent three thousand yuan to buy Sheng Damei a job at the county cake factory. Sheng Damei won't bother you anymore."
"Ji Ping is so good to Sheng Damei! I hope Sheng Damei will not disappoint him."
In her previous life, Sheng Damei got married and Li Qin died of illness. It was not murder, so Ji Ping didn't care about Sheng Damei.
In this life, Li Qin died early. Before her death, she asked Ji Ping to take care of Sheng Damei. Ji Ping took on the responsibility of being her brother.
With Ji Ping taking care of her, Sheng Damei won't have to go through the same trouble as in her previous life.
Chu Xuan inadvertently changed the fate of some people and is confident that he can also change his own fate.
I clenched my fists unconsciously to cheer myself up.
With the help of the light in the yard, Mu Chenze saw the determination in Chu Xuan's eyes and guessed that she was thinking about something else.
"What are you thinking about?"
Chu Xuan quickly calmed down and unclenched his fists. He couldn't bring himself to tell her what was on his mind, so he casually said, "I'm thinking about how to make more money. After October, I won't be running the grilled fish fillet workshop anymore. Should I buy a fishing boat and rent it out, or maybe start a business in partnership?"
In fact, she has a trauma about riding a boat, but she also knows that she must overcome the psychological barriers.
Mu Chenze gave Chu Xuan a thumbs-up. "You have ideals and ambitions. I support you in buying a boat! If you need money, just ask. However, good partners are hard to find. Some people aren't as honest as they appear. They might claim they caught 200 kilograms if they caught 300 kilograms. If they caught a good catch, they might hide it and ask someone else to sell it without giving you a penny. It's impossible for a girl like you to go fishing on a boat. You can do that kind of work for a day or two, but not for a year or two."
In fact, Chu Xuan understood the meaning of her words. She supported her on the surface, but actually she was advising her not to buy the boat.
Chu Xuan knew he had a point. "Let me think about it! I was just saying it casually today."
"You and Uncle Long..."
Before he could finish, Chu Xuan interrupted him, "Don't interfere with the agreement between Uncle Long and me. If you're not careful, you'll bring trouble to your family. I'm different. I've always been a thorn in the side of Feng Chunhua's family..."
Mu Chenze couldn't just ignore it, but he couldn't say so. He quickly waved his hand and said, "I think you are secondary. Maybe Xiaofeng is the thorn in their side. I can choose not to interfere in those things, but there is one thing you must promise me!"
"What's up?"
