“We don’t understand any of this. If you want to buy, then go ahead and buy. We’ll pay for the people.” Zhao Guihua thought to herself that although the tavern was managed by her sister and brother-in-law, it was still her family’s tavern. Since the tavern belonged to the Zhou family, the people they hired should also be from the Zhou family.
Besides, we've already spent several hundred taels of silver, why should we care about a dozen or so?
Although Zhou Laoda was heartbroken about the money, he had no objections since his wife had made up her mind.
Zhao Guizhi and Chen Shunping didn't say anything about this. They shared similar thoughts with Zhao Guihua: the tavern belonged to the Zhou family, and the couple were just helping to manage it, receiving a monthly allowance in return.
Managing a tavern is easier than setting up a food stall outside. At least you won't be exposed to the wind and sun in the shop, and you won't get wet in the rain. You can stand there for hours at a time.
Chen Shunping's body couldn't withstand standing for too long, so in the tavern he could sit at the counter doing accounts and arranging tasks for the servants.
As for the monthly allowance, it hasn't been decided yet. Chen Shunping said he would wait until the tavern had been open for a month and see how much revenue they made before deciding on his and Zhao Guizhi's monthly allowance.
According to Zhao Guihua and Zhou Laoda, Chen Shunping should be given three taels of silver a month. After all, he is the manager. It is said that managers receive at least one tael of silver a month, and some receive as much as three taels. Since Chen Shunping is one of their own, they will give him three taels of silver a month.
Zhao Guizhi received two taels of silver a month, so the couple each received five taels of silver a month.
"Shunping and I appreciate your kindness, but let's talk about this again in a month. Don't rush to discuss the monthly allowance now."
Zhao Guizhi was touched. Her sister wanted to take care of her and Shunping, but she had already taken care of them enough. The tavern hadn't even opened yet, so it was too early to talk about monthly wages. Besides, in this small town, even the manager's monthly wage was no more than three taels of silver, at most one tael.
It would be most appropriate to wait and see how much money they make before deciding on the monthly allowance. If the income is not much, how could she and Shunping feel comfortable taking such a large monthly allowance?
“Let’s not go back to the village today. We’ll go back tomorrow after we’ve finished the transfer documents for the shop. We can also go to the brokerage to see if we can find a suitable buyer,” Zhao Guihua said thoughtfully.
"Mom, are we going to buy a maid to comb Xingxing's hair?" Xingxing had overheard something and was now snuggling in Zhao Guihua's arms. "If we're going to buy a maid, we need to buy one who's brave enough to help me argue and fight."
"Why do you have to argue and fight with people? If you keep such a rude girl by your side, she'll corrupt you. That won't do." Zhao Guihua tapped Xingxing's nose, finding it amusing.
Xingxing argued, or rather, explained, "Mom, Xingxing is educated and a refined person. I can't argue or fight with people casually, but I can't help it when some people come to cause trouble. At that time, I need someone to argue or even fight for me."
This fallacy is so refuted that it's impossible to argue against.
Perhaps you still remember being bullied by the young lady of the Song family last time?
