Chapter 819: Wage Increase
Zhang Juexia and Ye Beixiu stayed in Cuiliu Manor for a few days, and they got to know most of the things going on in the manor.
The two agreed that Qin Eryong and Li Yulan did a great job in the farm and should give them a raise.
Hearing about the salary increase, Qin Eryong immediately waved his hand and refused, "Brother Beixiu, sister-in-law, the salary you gave is already more than enough."
Li Yulan also shook her head like a rattle, "Brother Beixiu, sister-in-law, we really can't increase our wages anymore.
You have given us two more than enough.”
"Eryong, Yulan, I'm giving you a raise because I think you've done a good job!
Otherwise, I won’t give you a raise.”
"Your sister-in-law is right, it's not like we have too much money to spend.
This money is given to you, so keep it."
"Brother Bei Xiu is right. I have always been clear about rewards and punishments.
You two have managed the farm very well, and I am very satisfied.
That’s why I’m giving you a raise.”
"Okay, stop pushing it away.
Eryong, you heard what your sister-in-law said.
If you don’t do your job well, you’ll be fined.”
Qin Eryong and Li Yulan looked at each other and tacitly agreed to give them a raise.
Zhang Juexia nodded with satisfaction, "That's more like it!
Eryong, I've increased your wages, so you can't tire Yulan out on weekdays."
"Sister-in-law, I know.
I discussed this with Yulan a few days ago.
Mu'er is getting more naughty day by day. Yulan has to take time out to teach the villagers embroidery. We are going to find a capable person from the village to help take care of Mu'er."
"That's right. With this arrangement, Yulan won't be too tired."
Li Yulan looked at Zhang Juexia gratefully, "Thank you, sister-in-law, you are so kind to me."
Qin Eryong also said a few words of gratitude, "Well, sister-in-law, I have one more thing to say. We will hurry up with the fish pond matter, but you should consider the sales of these fish as soon as possible.
As long as you don't tell me about this, I won't feel at ease!"
"Also, sister-in-law, you should arrange for an embroidery teacher as soon as possible!"
"You two won't even let me breathe!
Okay, I know both of these things.
Don't worry!"
When Qin Eryong and Li Yulan were about to leave, Liu Zhuangtou's eldest son Liu Hong hurried over.
He first saluted Ye Beixiu and Zhang Juexia, then nodded to Qin Eryong and Li Yulan as a greeting.
Qin Eryong asked him, "Brother Liu, is there something wrong?"
Liu Hong nodded.
People in the village take turns going to the county town to do business, and today it is Liu Hong's turn.
Liu Hong took out a letter from his pocket and handed it to Zhang Juexia, "This letter was given to me by Manager Yang Zhi.
He told me to be sure to hand it over to the lady."
"Yang Zhi came to find you?"
"No, we just happened to meet.
Today it was my turn to deliver something to the county town. After we delivered the things and were leaving the city gate, we met Manager Yang who was also preparing to leave the city.
He told his wife to read the letter as soon as possible."
After listening to Liu Hong's words, Zhang Juexia opened the letter while Ye Beixiu was seeing them off.
When Ye Beixiu came in, Zhang Juexia had already finished reading the letter.
Ye Beixiu asked with concern, "But what happened?"
"It's nothing serious. I'm afraid we should leave the village and return to the county."
"Oh, because of what?"
"Yang Zhi said in the letter that Li Yingyue's father, Li Jinyuan, has come to our house and looked for us several times."
"Then why didn't Yang Zhi tell us at the beginning?"
"Yang Zhi said that when Li Jinyuan went there twice before, he kept saying that he had nothing to do.
He thought he was just coming to our house to sit around.
But the third time, he told the truth and said he had something to talk to us about.
But when asked what it was, he said there was no rush and there was no need to let us know.
So Yang Zhi was delayed again.
Until yesterday, when Li Jinyuan came to our house again, Yang Zhi couldn't help but go up to him and ask him a few questions.
Li Jinyuan then told the truth and said that he had something important to discuss with us.
Yang Zhi then became busy."
"Then what did Yang Zhike say Li Jinyuan wanted to talk to us about?"
"No, because Li Jinyuan never said anything, and Brother Yang can't just make random guesses!
However, Brother Yang said that we'd better go back quickly.
He felt that Li Jinyuan seemed to have encountered difficulties and looked unhappy.
"Then let's go back tomorrow!"
"Then I'll tell Taohua to take her people to clean up first."
Early the next morning, Zhang Juexia and Ye Beixiu just said hello to Qin Eryong and his wife, and hurried back to the county town.
Just as the two of them settled in, Li Jinyuan arrived, and he specifically asked to see Zhang Juexia, not Ye Beixiu.
Ye Beixiu told Zhang Juexia, "My wife, go ahead!
I'll hide behind you to protect you!"
Zhang Juexia was also wondering why Li Jinyuan was looking for her. Recently, she had been at the farm and didn't know much about what was happening in the county.
She hasn't paid attention to Li Qi for a long time.
Thinking of this, Zhang Juexia straightened his back and walked into the house with confidence.
Li Qi had done something so ugly, but for Li Yingyue's sake, she didn't do anything too extreme.
She thought she was worthy of the Li family.
Li Jinyuan was staring at the tea bowl in front of him in a daze. When he saw Zhang Juexia come in, he quickly straightened his clothes and went to greet her, "My dear niece, you finally showed up."
Zhang Juexia was a little confused when he heard Li Jinyuan's address.
It is true that she and Li Yingyue are sisters, but the Li family looks down on Zhang Juexia at all.
If she hadn't worked hard, she would never be able to catch the eyes of these people.
Although her heart skipped a beat, she remained silent and respectfully bowed to Li Jinyuan, "Uncle Li, how are you!"
Li Jinyuan stroked his newly grown beard with satisfaction, "Good, good!
My dear niece, please take a seat. We are family, so we can't be so formal!"
Zhang Juexia couldn't help but murmur in his heart, "Who would want to be a family with your Li family?
Having such a stupid teammate, oh, forget it, no matter how bad this guy is, he is still Li Yingyue's father."
After Zhang Juexia sat down, Li Jinyuan asked, "I heard from the servants in the mansion that you have been staying at Cuiliu Manor recently?"
"Well, there's some food growing there. We have to check it out from time to time."
"My dear niece, it's truly remarkable that you've been able to support the Ye family!"
Li Jinyuan gave Zhang Juexia a thumbs up. If Zhang Juexia had not been so low-key and immune to such flattery, she would have been so proud of herself that she would have lost her mind at this moment.
She looked at Li Jinyuan nonchalantly, "Uncle, do you have something to talk to me about?"
