Ai Xiaoxia felt very warm in her heart and was also very happy that Lu Jingshen was a well-educated and well-mannered person, otherwise how could she be so successful?
She said to Lu Jingshen, "I am indeed tired of being forced by them. They are too greedy. I know that the family of origin is the support of every woman, but some families of origin are wolves' dens. I have no choice. If I don't take action, then they will eat me until there is nothing left."
"Fortunately, you know how to defend yourself, otherwise you would have suffered yesterday. Don't lose your skills. I feel at ease knowing that you have a self-defense skill." Lu Jingshen said again.
"It's not really a self-defense technique. There was just someone in my village who knew martial arts, and I unintentionally learned a few moves from him. I didn't expect to use them." Ai Xiaoxia explained, and she had to tell a white lie.
"You're very smart and learn things quickly. This is a good thing anyway. You can protect yourself, and I'll feel at ease outside."
"Don't worry, I have strong limbs and a smart mind. I can protect myself."
The two of them then talked about family matters, national affairs, and many of the enjoyable things in the future, and they talked until the second half of the night before going to bed.
After breakfast the next day, Ai Xiaoxia discussed with her family the salary for Lu Lin's husband. According to the current average salary, it was just over 200 yuan, but the market was every other day, so she proposed to give him 120 yuan a month.
Lu Jingshen also agreed, so Li Shaofen and Lu Guojiu naturally had no objection. Although they knew that this was more than normal, they also knew that saying more would seem pretentious. Anyway, it was enough as long as they knew it in their hearts.
After discussing it, Lu Guojiu asked Lu Jingyuan to find Lu Lin and his wife, and repeatedly reminded him not to talk nonsense on the way and to discuss important matters with the adults at home.
After a while, Lu Lin and her husband arrived. Lu Lin's husband's surname was Su, and Zhuzi's full name was Su Changzhu.
Although Lu Jingyuan is quick-witted, he is not stupid. He still remembers his father's instructions and just tells his sister and brother-in-law that it is a good thing.
After entering the house and greeting each other, everyone sat down.
Lu Guojiu cleared his throat and spoke first: "Xiaolin, Zhuzi, your sister-in-law has something to tell you."
Su Changzhu has a cheerful personality. He is relatively dark-skinned, but his teeth look very white when he smiles. "Sister-in-law, tell me what's going on."
Originally, Ai Xiaoxia thought that this matter should be discussed by her father-in-law, the head of the family, or at least Lu Jingshen should say it. She didn't expect that her father-in-law respected her so much.
She smiled and said to Su Changzhu, "Our family's business of selling snacks at the market is pretty good, but you also know that the market is not always in the countryside, and it's not convenient for me to go to the distant villages, so I want you to go to the market to sell snacks and pay you a monthly salary."
Su Changzhu quickly waved his hand and said, "I'm not busy right now. What's the point of talking about money? We're all family. So when you're going, just let me know."
Ai Xiaoxia said, "This needs to be long-term and stable, just like working. Since we're doing business, we have to be formal, right?"
Lu Jingshen continued Ai Xiaoxia's words and turned to Su Changzhu, "And as the saying goes, even brothers should settle accounts clearly. If you're here to help, then we'd be embarrassed to ask anything of you. We can't point out anything you've done wrong, because that would directly affect the business. In the end, if business doesn't go well, none of us will make any money, right?"
Ai Xiaoxia smiled at Lu Jingshen. What he said was more accurate than what she said.
When Lu Jingshen saw his wife's admiring smile towards him, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up.
Lu Lin understood what her brother and sister-in-law meant, and said to Su Changzhu, "Zhuzi, listen to your brother and sister-in-law. If you work hard in the future, that will be the best reward for them."
Su Changzhu listened to his wife and nodded: "Okay, then I will listen to my elder brother and sister-in-law."
Ai Xiaoxia said, "We've discussed it. The market will be every other day, so we work one day and rest one day, and we'll get 120 yuan a month. What do you think?"
When Su Changzhu heard that he was offered 120 yuan a month, with a one-day work and one-day rest, which would not interfere with his farm work at home, he quickly shook his head and said, "That's too much. You guys are a small business, and I can't take so much all at once. I'll just take 60 or 70 yuan at most. It's easier and more stable than my job at the quartz sand factory."
Ai Xiaoxia said, "The fact that we can pay you this is reasonable. I'm speaking as a businessman. Business is all about making money. If we didn't, we wouldn't be doing it. And this money isn't easy to earn. It's cold in the winter and hot in the summer. Even though it's every other day, it's still very demanding. You can't have a few days of fun, so this money is hard-earned."
Su Changzhu listened to Ai Xiaoxia's words and always felt that his sister-in-law was just like his elder brother, and she spoke with a particularly strong aura. He didn't know how to decide and looked at his wife.
Lu Lin also felt that it was too much, but what her sister-in-law said made sense, so she looked at her father Lu Guojiu.
Lu Guojiu said to Lu Lin, "Listen to your sister-in-law on this matter."
Lu Lin nodded obediently to Ai Xiaoxia: "Sister-in-law, thank you, Zhuzi will definitely do a good job."
Su Changzhu also quickly expressed his opinion: "Sister-in-law, I will definitely do my best."
Ai Xiaoxia smiled and said, "That's right. In the future, our small workshop may become a small factory through our efforts. People always have to have goals, so let's work hard together."
Lu Jingshen looked at the young wife beside him and smiled with the aura of a leader. He led the applause and said, "This is the first time our family has done business. I hope it will get better and better."
Ai Xiaoxia also smiled and clapped along. The atmosphere was quite interesting when everyone clapped together.
After the matter was discussed, Lu Guojiu asked Lu Lin and his wife to go back and talk to Lu's parents-in-law, after all, this was a big deal.
After Lu Lin and his wife left, Li Shaofen started to prepare snacks because there would be a market the next day.
Ai Xiaoxia pulled Li Shaofen to sit down and said, "Mom, we can't rush this. We were just trying to see if we could sell it before. Now that we're sure it's feasible, we have to plan it. There's no need to rush to set up the stall. First, we need to prepare enough raw materials. Then we need to make a sturdy and durable plaque. Then we need a table to sell snacks. We can't let Zhu carry such a large thing on a bicycle. But we can't sell snacks on the ground or directly in the basket. How do we solve this problem?"
Li Shaofen had never thought about these things. Now, after hearing what Ai Xiaoxia said, she was also confused. She looked at Ai Xiaoxia and asked, "Can this be solved?"
Ai Xiaoxia said: "Mom, anything we can think of can be solved, but we need time to think about it."
At this time, Lu Jingshen said, "Just buy the materials, it's not a problem. I think the plaque Xiaoxia painted before is very good. You can repaint it on oilcloth. It will be durable and easy to carry. As for the table, you can find someone who drives to the market, pay him the corresponding fee, and have him keep our table on the car. Zhuzi can ride his bike to the market with snacks, and then pick up the table."
After hearing this, Ai Xiaoxia said with satisfaction, "This is a good idea. Let's prepare for it in the next two days and officially open the stall in three days."
