Early this morning, Zhang Xuemei received a call from Liu Taohua, who said that Xueshan had brought his wife to seek refuge with her and asked her to find them a job.
What a coincidence! Let's just arrange to work at the store; we're short-staffed anyway.
Once they arrived at the residential complex, Zhang Xueshan followed Xu Minghan, exclaiming in amazement, "Brother-in-law, you really live here? This house is so beautiful, it must have cost a lot of money!"
"Yes, it's a school district property for a top-tier elementary school."
"Wow, you guys must have made a lot of money, brother-in-law. If I had known, I wouldn't have gone out and would have just worked with you guys. Maybe I could have bought such a nice house too," Zhang Xueshan said with some regret.
Xu Minghan just smiled and didn't say anything. He couldn't respond to that. You could say that Xue Shan was lazy, but he could also be quite hardworking at times. However, it was only in bursts. He needed someone to keep him in check. Just like in his previous life, he was kept in the factory by Le Rong. When things were busy, he could earn more than 10,000 yuan a month, which made him very proud.
As soon as Zhang Xuemei heard the elevator bell ring, she immediately stood up, opened the door and looked out. She smiled when she saw the younger version of her younger brother and Le Rong.
"Xiaoshan, and Rongrong, right? Come in and rest for a while."
Le Rong followed them in, her eyes filled with envy as she looked at the bright and spacious house. She wished she could live in a house like this someday; that would be enough for her entire life.
Zhang Xueshan was even more direct, starting a tour of the house and commenting as he looked around: "Sister, the house you bought is big enough, but the decoration is still lacking something. If you ask me..."
Zhang Xuemei ignored her brother's words and smiled at Le Rong, who was sitting quietly to the side, "Rongrong, are you getting used to the food and accommodation here?"
Looking at the friendly Zhang Xuemei, Le Rong replied softly, "It's alright, I brought my own homemade chili sauce."
"Right, the food here is a bit bland, and my parents don't like strong flavors, so it's natural that they're not used to it."
After looking at the house, Zhang Xueshan ran over again and asked in a low voice, "Sister, what jobs did you arrange for me and Rongrong? How much do you pay them?"
Xu Minghan reached out and tapped him on the back of the head. "Are you afraid your sister will mistreat you?"
"No, but we still need to clarify things regarding money, right?" Zhang Xueshan felt that it was always best to discuss things beforehand to avoid any conflicts.
Zhang Xuemei didn't think there was anything wrong with it and said directly, "Your brother-in-law and I have discussed it. Rongrong can work at my maternity and baby store. The base salary is 150 yuan, plus a 3% commission. What do you think?"
It wasn't that Zhang Xuemei was stingy or unwilling to give more to her own people; it was just that the other two employees in the store were paid the same salary, and she couldn't ask for too much to avoid unnecessary conflicts.
Le Rong nodded in satisfaction and said with a smile, "I'll listen to whatever you say, sister. Don't worry, I'll do my best."
"What about me? I haven't said anything yet!" Zhang Xueshan looked at his third sister impatiently, before he could even say what he was going to do.
"How could we leave you out? You'll work at your brother-in-law's shop, where the salary is slightly higher, 170 plus 3% commission. Don't get too excited yet, because sometimes you'll have to move goods back and forth in the shop, that's part of your job. Do you think you can accept that?"
Zhang Xueshan was taken aback and looked at Xu Minghan, "Brother-in-law, aren't you going to do it?"
“Your brother-in-law usually has to entertain customers and sometimes go out to check the goods, so it's basically up to you. Besides, this store doesn't just belong to your brother-in-law; it's a partnership with his younger brother. So you'd better be diligent, or we can't do anything if we really have to fire you.”
Zhang Xuemei knew her younger brother's personality; he wouldn't take it seriously unless she put some pressure on him, so she could only make Minghe play the bad guy for once.
"No way, I will definitely work hard and I will never give you the chance to fire me." Zhang Xueshan said with a serious expression.
"That's good. Should we go to work tomorrow or take two more days off?"
"It'll be on tomorrow."
"Rest for a few more days."
Two voices rang out at the same time. Le Rong glanced at the slack Zhang Xueshan and couldn't help but glare at him. He only had two hundred yuan in his pocket given by his mother. If he didn't go to work early, what would he eat and drink?
Seeing Le Rong glaring at him, Zhang Xueshan reluctantly changed his mind and said, "Tomorrow it is then, but, sister, where are we staying?"
"Stay at my place for now, there's a spare room. Then I'll have your brother-in-law look out for a place near the market for you. What do you think?"
"Sister, why go through all this trouble? Why don't I just stay at your place? You happen to have some free time, so let's not waste it," Zhang Xueshan said with a shameless grin to Zhang Xuemei.
Zhang Xuemei couldn't help but roll her eyes at him. "You've got some good ideas. Are you going to pay the rent? And the food too?"
"Sis, you're being too polite. I'm your own brother, right? Brother-in-law, you don't have any objections, do you?" Zhang Xueshan knew exactly what he was doing; staying with his sister would save him a lot of money.
"Don't ask your brother-in-law. You go and find a house properly. My mother-in-law helps us take care of the children and also has to serve the two of you. Do you think that's reasonable?" Zhang Xuemei didn't tolerate him. He just wanted to take advantage of others and hadn't learned anything.
Seeing that Zhang Xuemei was a little angry, Le Rong tugged at Zhang Xueshan's hand and said with a smile, "Sister, don't listen to him. We definitely can't stay here with you permanently. We'll have to trouble brother-in-law to help us find a suitable place. We've just arrived and we're not familiar with the area."
Hearing this, Zhang Xuemei's expression softened slightly. "It's nothing. You can stay here for now. I'll have your brother-in-law help you find something. I'll also give you an advance of 300 yuan of my salary to buy things for you."
"Thank you, sister," Le Rong said with a smile.
Zhang Xueshan glanced at his sister and then at his wife. Well, he had no right to speak.
Zhang Xuemei lay on the bed, touching her head. Xue Shan was still as fond of taking advantage of others as ever, especially their relatives.
"What's there to be angry about? You know that's how the snow mountain is. But having Le Rong keep him in check is a good thing." Although Le Rong sometimes acts without thinking things through, she is generally better than her brother-in-law. At least she knows how to read the room.
Zhang Xuemei sighed deeply, "It's not that I'm stingy, but you know, it's easy to invite a god in, but hard to send him away..."
Xu Minghan glanced at her and teased, "You overestimate Xue Shan. What kind of god is he?"
Is that what I meant?
"Alright, I know what you mean. He's still your brother, so give him some face, otherwise people will say you're biased."
"So what if he's biased? At least our older brother and sister-in-law always remember us when they get something good. When have you ever seen that kid Xue Shan give you anything nice?"
Zhang Xuemei couldn't understand it. They were born to the same mother, so how could their personalities be so different?
