Yun Yongcheng walked into the yard and came in front of Xu Yaqing.
"Sister-in-law, I'm not looking for Brother Yongjin, I have something to talk to you about."
Xu Yaqing raised her arm, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and looked at Yun Yongcheng with a smile on her face.
"I heard that you went to meet Teacher Qin's family today to discuss your marriage with Teacher Qin. But since the wedding is coming soon, do you need your sister-in-law to help organize the wedding banquet?"
Yun Yongcheng's face turned red when he heard Xu Yaqing's question.
"We had dinner today to discuss Xiaoyu and my marriage. Our wedding is scheduled for October 1st, National Day."
"That would be great."
Xu Yaqing's smile deepened when he heard this.
"Your marriage to Teacher Qin is settled. You've finally given the Wang family a slap in the face. When you broke off your engagement with Wang Lanhua, that bitch Zhang Ruhua went around saying you'd be a bachelor for the rest of your life. Let's see if she still dares to say that to you."
Thinking of Zhang Ruhua's expression after she knew about this, Xu Yaqing felt very happy.
Without waiting for Yun Yongcheng to speak, Xu Yaqing continued cheerfully, "Yongcheng, if you need your sister-in-law for anything, just tell me. You must marry Teacher Qin in style and give Old Wang's family a good slap in the face."
"Sister-in-law, you are the director of the women's department. Don't say such things in the future, otherwise people with ulterior motives will hear it and spread gossip about you everywhere."
Xu Yaqing waved her hand indifferently.
"It's okay. Everyone in our village knows who the Wang family is."
Yun Yongcheng really didn't want to continue discussing the Wang family with Xu Yaqing.
Since the two families have broken off the engagement, they will keep their distance from each other and go their separate ways.
"Sister-in-law, I came to see you today not for the wedding banquet, but for another matter."
Yun Yongcheng quickly changed the subject.
"What's going on?"
This sentence piqued Xu Yaqing's interest. Xu Yaqing stopped what she was doing and looked at Yun Yongcheng.
Yun Yongcheng: "A department store has opened in the county town, sister-in-law, did you know about it?"
"Yeah, I know."
Xu Yaqing nodded in agreement with Yun Yongcheng's words.
"It's called... Huaxiang Commercial City, right? When it first opened, I went there with Xiaohuzi's Aunt Hui. It's quite large, with three floors, much bigger than our Huangshi Town Supply and Marketing Cooperative. They sell all kinds of things. Yongcheng, why did you suddenly mention Huaxiang Commercial City?"
Yun Yongcheng: "Today, Brother Lu Feng and I rented a stall in the fresh produce area on the first floor of Huaxiang Commercial City. We plan to sell braised meat there..."
"You actually rented a stall in Huaxiang Commercial City."
Yun Yongcheng had only said half of his words when he heard Xu Yaqing startled and looking surprised.
Xu Yaqing took a deep breath and calmed herself down.
"The monthly rent for a stall in Huaxiang Commercial City isn't cheap, Yongcheng. Your braised meat business is growing bigger and bigger, and your courage is also growing." Yun Yongcheng smiled and said, "Brother Lu Feng has followed Mr. Chu for many years and has rich experience in business. With Brother Lu Feng's help, I dared to rent a stall in Huaxiang Commercial City. Sister-in-law, the stall is rented, and we are now in need of a shopping guide."
Yun Yongcheng had said this, and if Xu Yaqing still didn't understand Yun Yongcheng's intention of coming today, she would be too stupid.
"Yongcheng, you and Lu Feng want me to go to Huaxiang Commercial City and show you a stall selling braised meat."
Xu Yaqing looked flattered.
Yun Yongcheng nodded slightly.
"Yes, I've discussed it with Brother Lu Feng. If you're willing to take this job, I'll pay you 40 yuan a month, and triple your wages for overtime on holidays. In the morning, Brother Lu Feng and I will go to the county town to deliver goods. You can take Brother Lu Feng's car to the county town. After get off work, you'll have to take the shuttle bus yourself. You can leave work when you finish selling the braised meat."
Xu Yaqing's head was buzzing as she listened to Yun Yongcheng speak.
It feels like a huge pie falling from the sky hits me on the head.
A monthly salary of 40 yuan, with holidays counted as overtime, is something many companies don't dare to pay their employees this way.
"Yongcheng, are you kidding my sister-in-law?"
The salary is 40 yuan a month, and overtime is included on holidays. The treatment is indeed generous.
Seeing Xu Yaqing's expression of disbelief, Yun Yongcheng looked at her seriously and replied with a stronger tone, "Sister-in-law, I'm serious. Brother Lu Feng and I want to gain a foothold in Huaxiang Trade City. We offer such high salaries so that the shopping guides can work hard. Those we find outside are not as reliable as you, Sister-in-law Yaqing. I'll come to find you as soon as I return to the village."
Xu Yaqing also wanted her son to go to college. Thinking that college would require a large amount of money, she gritted her teeth and made up her mind.
"Brother Yongcheng, when do you start work?"
Yun Yongcheng: "Sister-in-law, do you agree?"
Xu Yaqing: "Such a good thing, I have no reason to refuse, not to mention that Xiaohu is in school now, and my family needs money to spend."
Worried that Wang Yongjin might have objections to this, Yun Yongcheng said, "Sister-in-law, wait for Brother Yongjin to come back with the water, and discuss it with him. If he has no objection, you can go to work at Huaxiang Commercial City tomorrow morning."
"I'm going to work tomorrow, are you ready?"
Yun Yongcheng: "The shelves and containers are all provided by the mall. We'll go clean them up tomorrow and make some preparations for the opening. We'll officially open the day after tomorrow."
"Yongcheng is here."
Wang Yongjin came back carrying two full buckets of water and greeted Yun Yongcheng sweating profusely.
Xu Yaqing turned her head to look at the gate of the yard and waved to her husband who was sweating profusely.
"Hurry up and carry the water into the kitchen, then come out. I have something important to discuss with you."
Wang Yongjin nodded and quickened his pace into the kitchen.
After a while, he came out of the kitchen, wiping his sweat with a towel.
"What's the matter, you're in such a hurry?"
Xu Yaqing told Wang Yongjin what Yun Yongcheng had just said.
After hearing this, Wang Yongjin looked away from his wife and looked at Yun Yongcheng who was standing beside him.
"Yongcheng, the stall fee at Huaxiang Trade City is quite expensive, right? If you give your sister-in-law 40 yuan a month, won't you lose money?"
"I think Huaxiang Commercial City has a good location, so I shouldn't lose money. I'm just starting this business, so I probably won't make much."
Before renting the stall, Yun Yongcheng had carefully calculated the cost.
Setting up a stall in Huaxiang Commercial City and selling an average of 50 kilograms of braised meat every day should not be a problem.
Selling 50 kilograms every day, I can earn about 120 yuan without deducting the cost. At the end of the month, it is about 3,600 yuan. After deducting the cost, stall fee, and Xu Yaqing's wages, the net profit is about 1,800 yuan.
He and Lu Feng can share about 800 yuan each month.
Hearing him say this, Wang Yongjin felt relieved. He turned to look at his wife and said, "Since Yongcheng said there will be no loss, then you can take this job. I will take care of all the household affairs and our son."
