Zhou Jiahong worked for a total of 46 days, 18 days last month, and 27 days this month including today.
But the proprietress said, "Today doesn't count. He only worked for a little over an hour today. I asked him to wash vegetables, and he washed them for ages. I'm not saying this to criticize you, but how can you spoil a child like this? He's such a big guy and he can't do anything right. He can't endure any hardship. If you say one thing to him, he'll talk back three times. He can't do any work, but he has quite a temper. For someone like him, I'd be giving him five yuan a day, which is already too much!"
"Hey, I just said I could only give him fifty yuan last month. This month has twenty-six days, so it's one hundred and thirty. Subtract one hundred, and that's thirty. It's eighty yuan in total. Here you go."
She took eight ten-yuan bills out of her purse and threw them on the table.
"Are you even human?! How could you deduct so much money from my pay?!" Zhou Jiahong was so angry that his fists clenched. He had worked himself to the bone for over a month, earning a total of 220 yuan, and she only gave him 80?!
Zhou Cailian's face flushed with anger. "You're bullying me too much! I'm going to report you to the police!"
"Oh my, who are you trying to scare? Go ahead and do it if you dare! I was thinking of asking the police to come and judge this. Your brother isn't doing well, so shouldn't I deduct some of his wages? He's been eating and living in my house for over a month now, doesn't that cost money? Honestly, I'm being generous by giving him eighty yuan!"
The proprietress rolled her eyes at Zhou Cailian, completely unfazed by her words.
The boss didn't pay any attention to Yu Qiuying and the other two. Seeing that his wife had already settled the bill with Zhou Jiahong, he ignored them and started getting busy.
While the landlady was talking to Zhou Cailian, Yu Qiuying reached out and picked up the money on the table. Then, with a thought, she secretly put two bills into her spatial storage.
Then, she calmly counted them.
The next second, her face darkened. "What do you mean? Didn't you say it would be eighty? Why is it only sixty?!"
The proprietress was stunned. She snatched the money from Yu Qiuying's hand, counted it, and was immediately dumbfounded.
No, she clearly counted to eighty just now!
"Could I have miscounted just now?" she muttered, then opened her purse and took out two ten-yuan bills.
The moment Yu Qiuying reached out to take the money, a thought flashed through her mind, and she immediately "made" Yu Qiuying faint.
Yu Qiuying was standing face to face with her. The moment her body went limp, she caught her and quickly reached into the black leather bag on the other woman's shoulder, taking the opportunity to put all the money inside into her spatial storage.
This whole sequence of movements only takes a few seconds.
Even Zhou Cailian and Zhou Jiahong, who were standing nearby, didn't notice her movements. They only saw the proprietress suddenly faint.
"Oh dear, what's going on? Why are you dizzy?" Yu Qiuying exclaimed loudly, feigning shock.
The shop owner was taking the vegetables that Zhou Jiahong had washed earlier into the shop when he saw this, so he immediately put down the basket and strode over.
"What happened?! What did you do to my wife?!"
“I didn’t do anything to her, she just suddenly fainted! Oh dear, I see her eyebrows are uneven, it looks like the early signs of a stroke. Has she been feeling dizzy a lot lately?” Yu Qiuying looked at her boss with an innocent expression.
Upon hearing Yu Qiu's words, the boss blurted out, "How did you know?"
Yu Qiuying slapped her thigh. "Oh dear, no wonder she suddenly fainted! She has high blood pressure! You should take her to the hospital right away. High blood pressure is no joke; it could lead to a stroke and paralysis!"
The boss had never heard of high blood pressure and didn't take Yu Qiuying's words seriously at all. He directly pinched the boss's wife's philtrum hard.
The landlady cried out and woke up.
"Ouch, that hurts so much! Why did you pinch me?!"
The boss breathed a sigh of relief when he saw she was awake. "You were dizzy just now. Are you feeling dizzy again?"
