He Wenlin noticed that He Hui's expression didn't seem to be lying, and she understood the situation.
She said, "Sister Dandan's words are unpleasant to hear, and I really don't like listening to them."
But I'm not lying to you. I just bought some big stuff and I'm really short on cash. If you want to learn, I can teach you. We're all on the same side, and I definitely want you to succeed.
However, it's definitely not possible to do it for free. I previously told you to work to pay off your debt by helping me for two months, so you won't actually lose out.
Because I can guarantee you'll learn how to make glutinous rice balls within the next two months. Learning to make them will take at least seven or eight mornings, meaning you won't be helping me for more than sixty days. I'm also covering your three meals a day; your food expenses will probably be around two hundred yuan a month. So, all things considered, you're not losing out.
He Wenlin had to break this down completely and explain it to him.
"Linlin, I understand everything you're saying, really," He Hui said earnestly.
He Hui had done the math in his mind. He earned 1,200 yuan for two months and learned a skill. In fact, he wasn't losing out, because he only earned a little over 900 yuan a month at the garment factory, occasionally earning over 1,000 yuan. Not every employee in the factory could earn over 1,000 yuan a month.
He Hui added, "Actually, it's understandable that you don't want to help. You don't owe me anything; helping is a favor."
Hearing this, He Wenlin's impression of He Hui improved even more.
Too many people harbor resentment because others don't help them, and take others' help for granted.
He Hui's values are still sound.
"If you don't want to come and help me, then come and learn. If you don't have enough money, you can pay it off first, but you must pay it back within a year."
He Wenlin is willing to compromise and lend a helping hand to people with sound values.
The meaning of being reborn is not only to make life better for myself and my family, but also to help those around me as much as I can.
Because for ordinary people, life is really too difficult.
“I don’t really like selling breakfast, especially since I’m alone, I feel even more embarrassed to do it. Linlin, thank you for your kindness.”
"Alright, then think it over carefully and come back to me when you've made up your mind."
He Wenlin doesn't force anyone who doesn't want to learn.
He Hui went back to work at the factory.
"It looks like his girlfriend sent him to learn," said Grandma He.
“I just told him that if he doesn’t want to come to class, that’s fine,” He Wenlin said. “Has Grandma or my older brother called?”
Speaking of He Wenhua, Grandma He sighed, "It's the opposite on his end. Wenhua wants to come, but his girlfriend doesn't agree."
“Then forget it, we’ll talk about it when we get back for the New Year.” He Wenlin said to Ruan Lingfeng, “Lingfeng, I remember your dad had his leg amputated, but his hands are still healthy, right?”
"Why are you asking them this?" Old Mrs. He was afraid that He Wenlin's words would expose the true feelings of the Ruan family.
Ruan Lingfeng didn't know why He Wenlin was asking this, so he nodded and said, "Yes."
“I have a job here, I don’t know if he’d like to come. It’s a seated job, not tiring, but it takes a lot of time. If he’s willing to come, it’s 2.5 yuan an hour, just like Grandma Ruan’s. But for now, it can only be a temporary job, so it might not be stable. If business is good, he can do it long-term in the future.”
"You...you really want to invite my dad?" Ruan Lingfeng, who was usually composed, was now unable to calm down and his voice was trembling.
His father had both legs amputated and was unable to go out to work. The whole family relied on Grandma Ruan doing odd jobs and Ruan Lingfeng doing summer and winter vacation jobs to earn money.
His father usually just stays at home and cooks simple meals for everyone. Kind-hearted bosses in the neighborhood will bring him some clothes from the factory and ask him to help trim the loose threads so he can earn some money for the children's stationery.
Although Grandma Ruan couldn't speak Mandarin, she could understand it. Hearing He Wenlin's words, she was moved to tears.
"Young boss, you're such a good person, thank you, thank you so much," Grandma Ruan said, expressing her gratitude repeatedly.
“Grandma Ruan, don’t get excited or be too happy. If Uncle Ruan can’t keep it up, I won’t use him either,” He Wenlin said. “Ling Feng, go and bring your dad over now, let’s see if he’ll do it.”
"I'll go right now."
After saying that, Ruan Lingfeng ran out.
He Wenlin invited her father over to make egg rolls.
It's such a waste to buy an egg beater and use it to mix dough for making xiaolongbao (soup dumplings).
He Wenlin quickly weighed the ingredients, poured them into the mixing bowl, and turned on the first speed to mix.
Soon, Ruan Lingfeng brought his father over on his back.
"Linlin, this is my dad."
Ruan Jianxin was somewhat reserved when he met He Wenlin.
“Uncle Ruan, don’t be nervous. The job is very simple and anyone can do it, but it takes a lot of time,” He Wenlin said. “Lingfeng, could you help me put these two egg roll machines on the table outside, plug them in, and make sure the table is against the wall so it doesn’t block the way? Also, put two stools on them, one for your dad to sit on and the other next to him. Put a clean wicker basket on top of it to hold the egg rolls later.”
Ruan Lingfeng quickly did as instructed.
Ten minutes later, the egg roll batter was ready. It was the first day of making it, and He Wenlin hadn't prepared much.
He Wenlin poured the batter into a bowl and then carried it to the egg roll machine.
"Uncle Ruan, come here and watch me do it, it's very simple."
At this moment, not only the Ruan family members gathered around, but other family members also came over.
When He Wenlin bought this thing, everyone was curious about what it was for. Now that she's making something delicious, they all gathered around to ask.
He Wenlin lifted the egg roll machine, scooped a spoonful of batter onto it, and then put the egg roll machine down. Then she lifted the egg roll machine on the right side in the same way, scooped a spoonful of batter onto it, and then put it down.
