one thousand? !
Guang Sheng and Lu Xi'er looked at each other in shock, hardly believing the number.
Too much money.
Some people only earn a thousand dollars a year, who would have thought they could earn that amount in a single day?!
The couple were so excited that they trembled uncontrollably and kept swallowing.
"No one can be told about this."
It took Guang Sheng a while to come to his senses, and he nervously explained to his wife.
This money is too easy to earn, and too much of it. If people find out, not only will his family be in turmoil, but it will probably also implicate Xiao Lei and Qiao Jiuru.
They are tempted by money and must be wary.
"Can't I even tell my older sister and younger sister?!"
Lu Xier hesitated for a moment before lowering her voice to ask. She had asked for this job because she thought of her older sister and younger sister, but she hadn't expected it to be so lucrative.
"Let's not talk about it for now, let me think about it some more. It's not that I don't want to take care of my older sister and younger sister, I'm just afraid that if word gets out and they find out, we won't be able to do this business anymore."
Guang Sheng tried his best to calm himself down, afraid that he would be blinded by his emotions. If he wanted to continue this business in the long run, he couldn't be careless and unprepared.
"I only realized now that Xiao Lei is a kind-hearted kid."
When his wife mentioned her older sister and younger sister, Guang Sheng couldn't help but think of Xiao Lei.
When they inquired about the clothing business, Xiao Lei, although he didn't explicitly say how much money they could make, kept telling them it was lucrative and much better than working a regular job, encouraging them to give it a try. He even proactively told them that he sourced his goods from Qiao Jiuru. After they expressed interest in joining the business, Xiao Lei again offered to help them inquire whether Qiao Jiuru agreed.
If Xiao Lei hides anything from them or doesn't give them a hint, they can't make up their minds.
"Xiao Lei is repaying us for all the help we've given them over the years."
Lu Xier was also somewhat emotional. Good deeds are rewarded. It was just that her husband took pity on Xiao Lei's family and helped them out, and now he was getting this kind of reward.
Guang Sheng nodded repeatedly. He hadn't expected that Xiao Lei would remember it so fondly when he had only helped the orphaned widow and her children when he could.
"Honey, I'm going to work tomorrow, and I'm worried about you going to set up the stall alone. How about this, starting tomorrow, we'll ask your older sister or younger sister to come with you to the stall, and we'll pay them a salary, starting with 100 yuan a month."
Today happened to be his day off, otherwise he wouldn't have had time to accompany his wife to set up the stall. Moreover, he has always been bold and shameless, and he has quite a few acquaintances at the FAW Hongqi automobile factory, so he sold quite a lot of items very smoothly.
However, he wouldn't have time to accompany his wife to the stall tomorrow, as he was worried she wouldn't be able to manage it alone. In a flash of inspiration, he thought of his wife's older sister and younger sister.
His wife, Sister Da, gave up her job to their son a few years ago and has been taking care of her grandson at home ever since. They're still doing alright.
My daughter-in-law, Xiaomei, has too many relatives and is unemployed. She lives with her parents-in-law and her husband's family, so her life is not as good as her two older sisters.
“My older sister is still taking care of her grandson, and she’s doing alright. I’ll ask my younger sister to help out. We’ll do as you said and pay her 100 yuan a month.”
Lu Xier was originally worried about how to help her younger sister when her husband came up with this idea, which made her overjoyed. Then she chose to help her younger sister.
"It's good to have your younger sister help out, but you'd better not tell her that you're paying her so much money a month, so her family won't covet it. If they find out, it'll be good if half of that hundred yuan stays with them."
Guang Sheng Tai understands his wife Xiao Mei's family situation. Some of the workers don't even earn 100 yuan a month. Giving them 100 yuan all at once is not only bad for themselves, but also for his wife Xiao Mei.
"Then tell me, how much should we say?!"
Lu Xier quickly asked, "My husband has more ideas than me, and his considerations are more comprehensive than mine. I'll listen to him."
"Give her fifty or sixty yuan, and secretly slip her the rest, or save it for her as a safety net."
"Old Guang, you're so thoughtful. Let's do it that way. I'll go see my little sister first thing tomorrow morning."
...
After the couple discussed it, one of them packed up the remaining clothes, while the other went out to help with the cooking.
The next morning, Lu Xier rode her bicycle to find her younger sister.
Her sister married a man whose family lived about half an hour away from their place, in the area near the flour mill.
Soon, after entering the alley, they arrived at a large courtyard inside, where Lu Xier and her younger sister lived.
In the west wing of the backyard, Lu Hua'er was pasting matchboxes when she heard a familiar voice coming from outside.
"Little sister."
Immediately afterwards, she saw her second sister, Lu Xier, appear at the door and rush in.
"Second Sister, what brings you here today?!"
Lu Hua'er quickly got up, greeting her second sister while preparing to pour her some water.
"Your brother-in-law's factory manager friend gave me a job, and since I'm alone and need company, he asked me to ask you for help. But it won't be free; I'll give you sixty yuan a month. How about that?!"
As Lu Xier took the water and drank it, she explained her purpose for coming, saying that time was of the essence and she couldn't afford to waste any more time.
"What kind of work is this?! I'll do the work for you, why would I get paid?! No way, no way."
Lu Hua'er didn't take it seriously and repeatedly refused. She thought it would be terrible if word got out that her own sister was helping out and then refusing money.
"Why not?! It's not like I've only been doing this for a few days. This job is long-term. It's not a big job. The old factory manager has some friends who work in the garment industry in the south. I happened to be unemployed and had nothing to do, so he introduced me to this job. I can set up a stall outside and earn some extra money. Your brother-in-law was worried that I would be all alone without anyone to help me, so he asked me to come to you for help."
Lu Xier casually gave her a brief explanation of the situation. There are quite a few stalls outside now, but most of them sell food.
Therefore, Lu Hua'er understood what she meant.
"Okay, I'll do whatever my second sister says."
Knowing that her own sisters wouldn't betray her, Lu Hua'er agreed without hesitation.
“The work hours are a bit long, and I probably won’t be back until around 1 p.m., so I’ll have to pay you sixty yuan a month. Go tell your mother-in-law and the others.”
Lu Xier knew her younger sister wouldn't refuse; now it all depended on her in-laws' intentions.
If my parents-in-law aren't home in the morning and they come back so late in the afternoon, I should tell them, otherwise we'll have another argument.
So, Lu Hua'er went to her mother-in-law to talk about this, and of course, she also mentioned that her second sister was paid a salary of sixty yuan.
Sure enough, money makes things easier, and her mother-in-law agreed without hesitation.
Afterwards, Lu Hua'er tidied herself up and followed her second sister on a bicycle.
