Madam Jia thought she had misheard, and then, as if she had thought of something, she smiled and said, "I know what you mean. How about this, from now on, each of you will receive a monthly allowance of one hundred taels?"
Previously, each of you received only a dozen or so taels of silver per month.
Zhu Zhaodi said calmly, "Please call me by my name, Mother."
The woman looked at the woman with the aloof expression, seemingly feeling a sense of unfamiliarity for the first time.
He said helplessly, "Miss Zhu, even if you were here, it would be difficult for the shop to give you fifty taels of silver, wouldn't it?"
Niu Aihua calmly said, "Having already experienced the freedom of a bird, how can it go back to its cage?"
The woman stared blankly at her: "Miss Niu, can't you speak like a human being?"
Hearing this, he looked at Shi Qiaofeng and asked, "What do you say, young lady?"
Shi Qiaofeng calmly said, "Yes, Madam Jia gave quite a lot of money. I wonder if we should stay with the guests?"
Upon hearing this, Jia's mother's expression froze.
"We women, hehe, it doesn't matter who we marry, it's still marriage."
"Wouldn't it be better to find a wealthy and powerful man to shelter you from the wind and rain, and live a stable life there? Isn't that better than you working hard here as laborers?"
She twirled the girl's clothes with her fingers: "From now on, we'll eat and live in fine silks and satins, enjoying delicious food and wine. Wouldn't that be wonderful?"
A woman's beauty fades very quickly.
"Girl, you must seize this opportunity. Who knows how long this wind will blow?"
Seeing that the girl refused to accept the gift, Jia Ma gritted her teeth and said, "How about this, the customer and you split the profits, I'll take half, and the rest will go into your pockets. Even our top courtesan, Ru Xue, only gets 40% of the profits."
Then she cried to Chen Xian, "Sir, am I not telling the truth? A woman's time is very precious. Even if you sell a lot of clothes here, there should still be a limit."
Dozens, hundreds, that's the most they could get in a day, even if the master gives them a reward.
"A few dozen taels of silver at most, right?"
Chen Xian shook his head. "You're wrong. I'm giving you respect. You don't understand."
The woman scoffed, saying that it was only because of the girl's beauty that he was able to get things done.
Previously, your shop's business was alright, but it was always in a state of barely surviving.
Zhu Zhaodi bowed firmly and calmly to Chen Xian.
He calmly replied, "If you don't resell our contracts, I'm willing to continue selling ready-made clothes in the shop."
The other girls chimed in, "We feel the same way. We share the same thoughts as you, sister."
The woman was at a loss for words.
He shook his head and said, "Everyone has their own destiny. You will regret it. While you are still young, you should get to know more wealthy men or make some money. That's what's really important."
Freedom, dignity, what a load of rubbish.
Chen Xian got up, took out about ten indentures from the drawer, and handed them to the group.
"Take it."
Zhu Zhaodi was slightly taken aback, and then, upon seeing the words above, her pale white fingers trembled slightly as she stared in astonishment at the others.
The woman peeked out and looked completely bewildered; how could she possibly play like this?
You tried to buy your indenture, but they just flipped the table.
Is this person an idiot? Doesn't he know that we are now a treasure trove?
The shop's reputation has recently spread throughout the city.
Many people already know about affordable clothing stores, naturally drawn by the incredibly skilled female shop assistants.
A single sword cleaves through the bamboo.
Zhu Zhaodi took a deep breath and then kowtowed to Chen Xian. The other girls followed suit, their clear and beautiful voices becoming hoarse and bitter, as if someone had thrown a few pebbles at them.
“If you do not mind, we are willing to stay and work in the shop.”
Chen Xian: "In the future, if affordable clothing stores open stores in Yingzhou Prefecture or even other places, the number of clothing items in the stores will be very large."
One person will represent one style of clothing, and you can prepare sacks to collect the money.
The girls chuckled, seemingly accepting the generous pancakes with ease.
Uncle Fu smiled and quickly helped the person up.
In fact, when Chen Xian took out the paper, he instinctively wanted to exclaim – No!
Wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, he realized these were the shop's lucky charms.
Afterwards, the group burned the indenture in the candlelight.
Mrs. Jia sighed and said helplessly, "Sir, you have a very high level of vision. I admire you very much."
He then said calmly to the women, "Take care of yourselves from now on. I hope you can live the free life you think you have. That's good."
Zhu Zhaodi swayed, suddenly realizing that many things might have changed.
This—all these changes—originated from an ordinary, not-so-young man.
"Thank you so much, Mom, for taking care of me all these years living in this building."
Finally, Mrs. Jia lowered her voice and said something, and the women's faces suddenly turned red.
"I'm leaving now. Good luck."
The woman, with a generous and cheerful demeanor, carried the girl on her back and waved goodbye as she left.
Uncle Fu watched with a smile as everyone began to bustle about in an orderly fashion, and said with a smile, "It all depends on you, brother. If nothing unexpected happens, these women will probably stay and work at the shop wholeheartedly."
Chen Xian: "No, I like to tell the truth, and I have always been sincere to people."
Uncle Fu chuckled.
Suddenly, I remembered that I seemed to have asked a stupid question before.
How can we guarantee they'll stay in the shop for a year?
Now, it seems... haha.
...
Recently, Chen Xian noticed that the pork business on the street had improved.
He quickly contacted some pig farms to send pigs to the countryside.
Moreover, when I walked down the street, I heard some people saying that business is getting harder and harder to do these days.
