21 Hiring
"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it." Shen Zao Zao nodded.
Mother Shen was incredulous and was about to get out of bed, "Take me to see it!"
Shen Zao Zao said: "At this time, I guess I'll go back. If you want to see it, I'll take you there tomorrow morning!"
"OK!"
…
Shen Yiyi had no idea what the mother and daughter were planning, but even if she knew, she was too lazy to care.
In the morning she sold ten kilograms of tea leaf eggs at the market and another ten kilograms at the factory gate.
After riding her bike back home, she quickly ate breakfast and then took another ten kilograms of tea eggs to sell in the family areas of other factories.
I finished selling and went home around 11 o'clock.
In just one morning, thirty kilograms of eggs were sold out!
Mother Qin made her a cup of brown sugar water and said, "Take a rest."
"Thank you, Mom." Shen Yiyi smiled, took it and drank it. It was so sweet and delicious, and she felt refreshed immediately.
"Are you tired? You run so many trips every day and haven't rested since you got up this morning." Qin's mother said.
Shen Yiyi smiled: "What's the big deal? As long as I can make money, I don't mind a little hardship. I have to make more money while I'm still young."
Mother Qin looked at her lovingly, "Mom is just worried that you will work too hard."
In the past half month, I have not been idle at all. I have been busy like a top every day.
"I'm fine, I just don't want to tire you out." Shen Yiyi felt embarrassed. Now her mother-in-law had to take care of everything at home and outside, and she had to cook tea eggs for her.
Look, while she was out selling tea leaf eggs, she had already cooked a pot of them for her, so it wouldn't be a hassle for her to come back.
"Mom is still capable and she's still young." Mother Qin glared at her.
Shen Yiyi smiled and said, "That's right, mom, your physique is better than most people in their forties."
Qin's mother laughed.
"But mom is in good health, and I can't force you to come, and I feel bad about it. So mom, can you help me ask if there is anyone in the area who is willing to come and help me? I will pay them 30 yuan a month, plus 5 yuan for food allowance." Shen Yiyi said.
When she first started the tea egg business, she couldn’t just ask for help even if business was good.
But now half a month has passed, she dares to say it.
Because these days, she can really be said to have made a lot of money.
I can sell thirty to forty kilograms of tea leaf eggs a day, which means I can earn nearly twenty yuan a day!
Mother Qin saw all of this, so when she wanted to hire someone to help with the work, she was willing to ask for it without making the old lady think that she was being too arrogant or unrealistic.
Mother Qin exclaimed in surprise and asked hurriedly, "Yi Yi, do you really want to hire someone?"
Seeing her like this, Shen Yiyi smiled and said, "Mom, have you chosen someone?"
Mother Qin looked at her and said, "I have a candidate here, but I didn't have the courage to tell you."
"Which one?"
"Your second uncle's family, Tang Xue."
Shen Yiyi thought for a moment, "Is it cousin Tang Xue?"
Tang Xue is actually older than her, but two years younger than Qin Lie.
If she marries Qin Lie, Tang Xue will have to call her sister-in-law.
"Yes, it's her." Mother Qin pulled her to sit down. "Last time, when I went to your second uncle's house to buy a bicycle, I found out that she was divorced and now lives in her mother's house. The other people in the family are fine, except for the two sisters-in-law. But before, your business had just started, so I didn't have the courage to tell you. Now I see that you are so busy that you don't even have time to rest, so I want to find time to talk to you. But I'm not afraid of being tired, I just want to help Xiaoxue."
Shen Yiyi smiled and said, "Mom, what are you talking about? You can help me, I can only be grateful, how can I blame you? Mom, find some time to go to my second uncle's house and talk to him to see if my cousin is willing. If she is willing, let her come."
"Or, why not just let her come and live at home? She won't have to run back and forth. She'll have to squeeze in with her nieces at her mother's house." said Qin's mother.
Shen Yiyi nodded, "Okay. But if you stay here for food and lodging, it'll be thirty yuan a month, and there will be no additional subsidies."
"No problem, let her live here. We still have three empty rooms." Qin's mother said happily.
Shen Yiyi smiled and naturally had no objection.
There are five rooms in the house.
Qin's father and mother are in one room, and the male and female protagonists, Qin's elder brother and his wife, are in another room.
Qin Lie and she share a room, and there is also a room with her sister-in-law who is still in college.
The remaining one is the guest room.
It would be better to just let Tang Xue come and stay in the guest room.
The reason why she thought so was, of course, because she had Tang Xue's memories.
This was not seen in the book, but heard by the original owner from Qin's mother.
I have been married for several years but have no children, but my health check-ups have always been good.
In Shen Yiyi's opinion, the man was most likely sick! It was just a pity that Tang Xue had to take the blame.
Shen Yiyi felt that there would be no problem in getting along with Qin's mother. She always handled interpersonal relationships well.
Mother Qin held her hand and said, "Yi Yi, thank you so much!"
"Mom, don't say that. My cousin will probably be very busy after she comes here. I plan to increase production and wholesale. I hope she won't blame me for making her busy like a top." Shen Yiyi said with a smile.
Mother Qin assured her, "Xiaoxue is a child who can endure hardships. If she hadn't had a hard life, she wouldn't have lived like this."
"She doesn't have a miserable life. She has a good life, otherwise she wouldn't have jumped out of that fire pit. This is called a phoenix reborn from the ashes. She has a bright future and a better life is waiting for her!" Shen Yiyi said.
There's really no need to describe the look in Qin's mother's eyes when she looks at her daughter-in-law. No wonder Blind Xiong said that he is a man with good fortune in the future. Look, he has such a good daughter-in-law. If this isn't a blessing in the future, then what else could it be?
Mother Qin did not delay and rode her bicycle to Uncle Tang's house after lunch.
She has a good relationship with her second brother, and actually also has a good relationship with her eldest brother, but she has a bad relationship with her eldest sister-in-law, so she rarely goes there.
When I arrived, I happened to see my eldest niece's wife running out crying.
Mother Qin was stunned for a moment, "What's wrong? What's going on?"
The niece-in-law ignored her and ran away without looking back.
When Tang's second uncle saw her sister-in-law coming back, she sighed and said, "Don't bother with her. She's going to make trouble even if there's nothing wrong!"
Tang Xue went to pour a glass of water for her aunt and said, "Aunt, please sit down first. I'll go call my sister-in-law back."
Tang's second aunt refused to let her go, "Don't call her. Why are you calling her? The more you call her, the more pretentious she becomes! And it's not your fault!"
"What's the matter?" Qin's mother asked after parking the bicycle.
Tang's second aunt pulled her to sit down and talk, "It's because I bought a piece of coarse cloth for Xiaoxue to make her a dress! Look at the clothes Xiaoxue is wearing, they are all patched up. I saved the cloth coupons, and I saved them myself. I spent your second brother's money, so how could I spend a penny of her money? As a result, when she saw that Xiaoxue had nothing, she actually bullied Xiaoxue openly and secretly, saying that her children had nothing to wear, but others had new clothes to wear, and she even smashed pots and bowls at me! I got angry and scolded me!"
