When Zhou Xiang said he wanted to pay her to take care of Doctor Cao, Ren Qing shook her head repeatedly, "No, as long as Doctor Cao gave me guidance, even if he doesn't recognize me, I still consider him my master. Isn't it only natural to take care of your master? I don't want your wages."
Ren Hui also disagreed, "Sister, you are right. How can I use your money to take care of my sister's master?"
Since both the brother and sister disagreed, Zhou Xiang stopped forcing them. Before leaving, Ling Ran stuffed a handful of money into Ren Hui's pocket, saying it was mental compensation and lost wages for his injury.
He didn't let him refuse, but just stuffed the money into his pocket and left. He gave the money to his sister.
"Sister, here are three thousand yuan. This is the compensation that Zhou Xiang and Ling Ran forced me to give you. Send it to your family. They need it."
Ren Qing disagreed, "You were wrong in the first place, why do you still want compensation?"
"Sister! You don't understand. I can ask for compensation for this injury, even if it's my fault. That's how it is when you do things outside.
Moreover, Ling Ran has taken over our company, so he is my boss. I will regard what he gives me as employee consolation money. No matter what, if I don’t accept it, they will feel uneasy. So just accept it!
The family needs this money. If we both leave home, there will be no one to work at home and no money. How will my parents and grandparents survive? "
"But doesn't it feel hot when you hold it?"
Ren Hui patted his sister's head. "Zhou Xiang has set up a foundation within Ling Ran's bodyguard company to help teammates whose families are in financial difficulty and in urgent need of money. If a teammate feels guilty about taking the money, they can consider it a loan and return it to the foundation when they are able and have the conditions."
Ren Qing was surprised. "Are they very capable and rich?"
Ren Hui nodded, "Yes, and he's kind-hearted."
"Then, let's take it first. When we make some money, we'll invest it in the foundation. This way, we won't hurt their reputation and we can continue to help others."
"Yes, that's what I mean. Grandma and grandpa are in poor health, so they cooked all the food and couldn't bear to eat it. You can keep 200 yuan for yourself and send the rest back."
"One hundred is enough."
"Leave two hundred. Listen to me. You also need to buy some clothes. The clothes you are wearing are too short. When you work for Doctor Cao, you need to wear something that fits you better."
Ren Qing looked down at his pants that had exposed his ankles and nodded, "Okay! I'll listen to you, brother."
Ren Qing sent the money back, but before she could buy the clothes, a woman came with a large bundle, saying that Zhou wanted to give it to her.
Doctor Cao told her that the woman was Zhou Xiang's mother, and Ren Qing quickly called her aunt.
Mother Zhou waved her hand. "That's too awkward. The kids in town all call me Aunt Jiang. Why don't you call me that too? If you need anything, come to the food station and find us. Don't be shy. Doctor Cao still needs your careful care here."
Ren Qing nodded, "Aunt Jiang, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of Doctor Cao."
Mother Zhou nodded and said, "Okay, good child, thank you for your hard work. I will go back now."
After seeing Zhou's mother off, Ren Qing opened the big bag, which was full of mostly new and beautiful clothes. She had never worn them before, and had never even seen them before. Some of the clothes looked as good as new.
There was a note inside with five words written on it: It's old, don't despise it.
Ren Qing's eyes were hot. Sister Zhou Xiang was so considerate.
The considerate Zhou Xiang looked at the tidy wardrobe and finally gave away the clothes that his mother did not allow him to throw away.
Ling Ran laughed. Although the little girl seemed to have the final say at home, she actually cared about her family's thoughts. Aunt Jiang had forced her to keep those clothes for three or four years. This time, she finally cleared them out under the pretext of giving them to Ren Qing.
However, Aunt Jiang took away a lot of the items that were packed up together, saying that she would keep them for others. Some of them had not even been worn, and the tags were still on. Of course, Aunt Jiang scolded the little girl.
The cement road and parking lot outside have been built. A few people were left behind to watch over the watering, while the rest returned to the river to work.
Ma Gua urged everyone to work harder and complete the project before the rainy season arrives.
On June 8, the southern section of the river was also completed. Most of the workers checked in and left, leaving behind a dozen or so workers who were good at swimming. They picked some lotus roots that had not yet formed buds and transplanted them there.
On the 10th, the sky became gloomy, but it did not rain, so the Magua held on for another day. On the 11th, it still did not rain, so the Magua was left to dry in the south section.
Early in the morning on the 12th, he took a dozen workers to move the bags of soil used for diversion.
During this time, it had begun to rain, and Zhou Xiang was worried, so he asked Ling Ran to keep an eye on it. Ling Ran simply called Zhu Hang to help.
After part of the earth bag was moved away, water began to flow in from the south, and the people working there were completely soaked in water. Zhou's mother simply boiled some ginger and sugar water and asked Zhou's father to go to the river and tell Ling Ran that after the work was done, call everyone back home to take a bath and drink a bowl of ginger soup to get rid of the cold.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and when it turned into a downpour, Ling Ran finally ran back to Zhou's house with Ma Gua and the others.
Zhou's mother brought out the ginger soup. After each of them drank a bowl, they went to the bathroom to take a shower.
Zhou's mother took out the old clothes of the men in the family and gave them to Zhou's father. Zhou's father put the clothes on a stool and asked the workers to choose the ones that suited them.
Ling Ran was brought back upstairs by Zhou Xiang and went into the space to wash up. After Ling Ran took care of the space, there were many thermoses prepared, so hot water was always available.
After taking a bath, Ling Ran trained the puppies before leaving the space.
Since the rain wasn't going to stop for a while, Zhou's father persuaded the workers to stay for lunch, and Ma Gua accepted the offer on their behalf.
Ling Ran and Ma Gua checked the project payment. Usually the workers' expenses were collected from the cashier.
The final wages of these dozen or so workers were paid by Ling Ran, who would then settle the accounts with the accountant and cashier.
