Chapter 305 There Are Always Scum
"What about the other people in Jingui Village? What do you think?" Yunniang looked at the other cooks.
"Yunniang, I'm very happy that you like my cooking skills. I will always help you with this!"
"Us too!" the others answered in unison.
The long-faced woman said angrily, pulling the round-faced woman next to her. "What about you? Are you coming with me?"
The round-faced woman looked indecisive and hesitated, "I-I'd better not leave! Otherwise, Xu Lizheng will be angry!"
"What are you afraid of? We've already done enough!" The long-faced woman grabbed her hand and said, "Let's go. It's time to go back and make money for our village!"
The round-faced woman was pulled out by her, and after taking a few steps, she suddenly saw the little dumpling standing beside her.
The long-faced woman's expression changed. "Master Xiaojiu! Master Xiaojiu... When did you come?"
The little girl put her hands in her pockets and said in a baby voice, "Do you want an elbow?"
The round-faced woman came to her senses the moment she saw Xiao Jiuer. "Master Xiao Jiuer, I won't leave! I was dragged here by her without knowing what was going on! I want to help Heihe Village!"
After saying that, she broke free and returned to the other cooks.
The long-faced woman lost her supporters and looked a little unhappy. "Master Xiaojiu, it's not that I don't want to help, but I'm really too busy at home! I'm not the only one who can cook. Master Xiaojiu won't blame me, right?"
"You're lying!" The cook from Jingui Village mercilessly exposed her lie. "For those of us cooks, the village head has arranged for fellow villagers to help with household chores. What on earth are you too busy to handle?"
The long-faced woman was embarrassed and glared at them fiercely. "I have a lot of things to do at home. What do you know? No one else can help!"
"You elbow me!" Little Dumpling sighed and waved at her.
The long-faced woman was afraid of offending the little girl, so she explained anxiously, "Master Xiaojiu, please don't blame me! I've been helping out in Heihe Village these past few days, but I haven't been lazy at all. I'm doing this to repay the village's kindness!"
"Yeah! Go get fat!"
"Okay, then I...I'll go back!"
The long-faced woman lowered her head and walked out with a guilty look on her face.
When he walked over to the little dumpling, the little dumpling took his hands out of his pockets and asked, "What's going on?"
Little Tuanzi was holding a handful of silver coins in his little hands, which were the tips from the guests just now.
The long-faced woman's eyes lit up, "Master Xiaojiu, so much silver!"
"Who are you giving this money to?"
The woman was stunned.
Little Dumpling walked over to Yunniang and took out all the change from his pocket, "My dear, give this to her, Mengda!"
Yunniang smiled and said, "So Xiaojiuer came over just now just to give everyone some money?"
"Yes!" Little Dumpling nodded.
The village head came over with a smile and said, "As soon as Xiao Jiuer got the money from the guests, he came to find you!"
The cooks quickly declined, "Zhuang Lizheng, Master Xiaojiu, we don't want money, we are here to help sincerely!"
"Take it!" the village head said pointedly, "It's a pity that some people are too impatient! How could Heihe Village let everyone suffer?"
"I..." The long-faced woman wanted to laugh but couldn't. She didn't know whether to leave or stay. It felt like her feet had taken root.
Yunniang counted it and found it was exactly nine taels of silver, no more, no less.
"Sac dear, eight lewd people!"
Yunniang understood immediately, but she didn't know arithmetic.
"Xiaobao, how much should each of these eighteen people be given?"
Before the little girl could say anything, the long-faced woman rushed over and said, "Yunniang, why are there only eighteen people?!"
Yunniang said calmly, "Eighteen people are not wrong. I am from Heihe Village, so naturally I don't get a share of this money. You have already withdrawn, so naturally you can't get a share of this money either."
"Why can't I get a share of the silver? You can't do this to Heihe Village!" The long-faced woman said excitedly, "Although I've withdrawn now, I've always been helping! You should definitely include my share when you divide the silver, otherwise you're just bullying me!"
"No! Listen carefully!" The little girl pouted angrily, "This money is for the back! Not for the front!"
"Do you understand?" the village head added, "This money is an advance payment for their future wages!"
The long-faced woman said angrily, "What about the front? What about these four days?"
"Didn't you just say you're here to pay off your debt these days?" The village head said with a mocking smile, "Go back! Although Jingui Village has signed an agreement with Heihe Village, we won't force anyone to do anything."
"No, you...why didn't you tell me earlier that you wanted to pay the wages?" The long-faced woman's face turned red and white, and she felt nothing but embarrassment.
"I've been so busy these past few days that I haven't thought about these things." The village head patted the little dumpling's head. "Xiao Jiu'er is really thoughtful and has thought of everything."
The long-faced woman laughed awkwardly. "I just thought about it. Although my family is busy, it's not necessary for me to go back! I might as well not leave and stay to help you cook!"
"Tsk, tsk, tsk!" The cooks all shook their heads. "I've never seen anyone change their expression so quickly! How shameless!"
"No need." Yunniang said without hesitation, "You should go back and do your own thing!"
"If I go back, Yunniang, you'll have to teach the newcomers how to cook again! How can the newcomers be as good as me?"
Yunniang said, "There are no new guests. There aren't as many customers as before, so it's no big deal to have one less person cooking."
The long-faced woman's expression instantly stretched even longer. "So, you're deliberately trying to stop me from making money? I want to ask the customers to judge. You're deliberately slandering me!"
"If you have the guts, try to alarm the guests!" Luo Qiuyue appeared out of nowhere and stood in front of her.
"Who are you showing this horse face of yours to? Don't think I don't remember your face! When you asked Heihe Village to save your family, you kowtowed, knelt, and swore, just asking Heihe Village to put aside their past grudges and take you in!
It's only been a few months? Have you forgotten your life-saving grace? Just after cooking a few dishes, you're already complaining that Heihe Village is taking advantage of you? Are your family's lives so worthless?
You are such an ungrateful person who eats meat when you pick up the bowl and curses your mother when you put it down. Don't go near Heihe Village in the future, or I will beat you up every time I see you!"
