Chapter 297 Doubts
"Sister Xiaohui, how much do you get paid for your work?"
After dinner, Zhao Mei and Luo Hui started chatting in private.
"It was twenty-two last month, and twenty-eight this month."
Luo Hui did not hide it.
Zhao Mei was a little surprised to hear this. With such a salary, why didn't she invite her second aunt to come and work? Anyway, her second aunt is still a temporary worker and only makes 18 yuan a month.
Since the beginning of the year, major factories have started to raise wages, even the wages of temporary workers have been raised, and most workers' wages have reached 40 yuan per month.
Zhao Mei did not continue asking but went to Zhao Yi's house to find Zhao Yi.
I didn’t find it in the department store, so I went to another store.
At this time, Zhao Yi was lying on a chair resting.
"elder brother."
Hearing the shouting, Zhao Yi looked up and saw that the person coming was Zhao Mei. He patted the stool next to him and motioned Zhao Mei to come over and sit down.
Zhao Mei walked over to Zhao Yi and sat down, thinking for a long time before speaking.
"Brother, Sister Xiaomei's salary is 28 yuan, and Second Aunt's monthly salary is only 18 yuan. Can you ask Second Aunt to come here to work?"
"You think I haven't thought about it?"
Zhao Yi looked at Zhao Mei and said.
In fact, the people Zhao Yi wanted to help the most were his two aunts, but his aunts were unwilling to do business without coming. Even though they knew that Zhao Yi's restaurant earned more than a thousand yuan a month, they were not jealous at all, and had no intention of getting involved.
Both my aunt and uncle are formal workers. They think work is above everything else. Zhao Yi doesn't want them to quit their jobs to do business. He just wants them to set up stalls after work. They have helped Zhao Dajiang set up stalls and know how to do it. They also know that the income is very good, but the two are unwilling to do so. Even if they find a formal job in the city, my second aunt will not come because she will be separated from her second uncle.
He was afraid that others would report him and he would lose his job, and he also said that the two of them could not spend all their salaries, so they could save a little every month.
As for the second aunt, she only asked Zhao Yi to find a way to help her cousin find a job, but Zhao Yi reminded her that the university might be opened, so the two of them began to review continuously. Not to let Zhao Yu down, they were admitted to the university in the first batch and are now about to graduate.
My second aunt and her husband had even more things to worry about. Not only were they worried about losing their jobs if they did business, but what if their superiors suddenly banned business, which would affect their children's future work.
Moreover, there is no pressure in family life. The two children receive allowances for university living expenses, and there is a little surplus. The two of them support an elderly person. Her salary of 18 yuan is enough for the monthly expenses of three people. The second uncle's salary is saved for his retirement.
"Second Aunt is unwilling?"
Zhao Mei looked at Zhao Yi and asked in a low voice.
"If they are not allowed to do business in the future, they are afraid that it will affect Lu Ting and others from coming out to work. As for my aunt, she is worried that if the factory leaders know about her business, she will lose her job."
Zhao Yi smiled helplessly.
The thinking of the elderly is sometimes very old-fashioned, and it is not easy to persuade them, even if you put real money in front of them. The elderly nowadays, especially those who have worked in the factory for so many years, are unlikely to be persuaded after experiencing the ups and downs of those years.
After talking too much, he gave Zhao Yi the example of the cowshed in Wangou Village, which made Zhao Yi very helpless.
However, as long as they want to do business in the future, Zhao Yi will still help them. Now their life is not difficult at all, so Zhao Yi did not continue to persuade them.
When Zhao Mei heard what Zhao Yi said, she suddenly understood. She still had some memories of her childhood, and the concerns of her second aunt and the others were reasonable.
"Second Aunt and the others' concerns are not unreasonable. They don't have as deep a background as you, Big Brother, so it's normal for them to worry."
Zhao Mei said with a smile.
I originally thought that Zhao Yi was embarrassed to ask his aunt to come to work. After all, she is an elder and it would be embarrassing if he paid her too little. But if he paid her too much, it would be better for Brother Yi to invite an outsider. Besides, elders talk a lot and nag often.
I didn't expect these reasons to be involved.
There is no such thing as someone who would rather starve to death than work for his relatives now. That will only happen in the future, and there are many reasons for this.
I can only say that there are reasons behind it. When it comes to helping relatives, your own family members will definitely work the hardest and will consider everything for their relatives. But sometimes, relatives feel that they are not as hardworking as outsiders. In addition, the wife speaks without thinking and says things like, "If my family didn't ask you to work, where would you go to earn money?" These unpleasant words can be very hurtful.
Some relatives go to help their relatives do things and feel like they are just being messy.
When people like Li Baoyu, Li Baoqin, Chen Jiao, and Chen Min came to work, Zhao Yi never interfered. He just let them do their own job well every day and he would never say anything to them. When their salaries went up, their salaries went up together.
I won’t favor one over the other and only give a raise to one person.
In this way, no one has any thoughts in their minds, and no one will ask them to do anything during rest time. They can read when they need to read, go shopping when they want to, and not interfere in other people's affairs.
“If they figure it out later, they can start a small business.”
"That will probably have to happen later."
Zhao Mei nodded.
If we want to change this, we may have to wait for several years until the streets are filled with people setting up stalls, and only then will the two aunts do some small business during their rest time.
"They don't care. Your cousin and his friends are going to graduate soon. Their salary after graduation is at least fifty yuan a month. There won't be any financial burden on the family. You should work hard instead."
Zhao Yi smiled.
"Don't worry, brother. I will definitely work hard."
Zhao Mei immediately assured.
Zhao Mei's grades have always been among the top in the class, and with the regular tutoring of Zhao Youfu, she has learned a lot of knowledge in her second year of high school. Going back to class is like having the teacher guide her in reviewing.
She is confident that she can at least get into a college.
"Brother, I'll be the chef tonight and let you taste my cooking skills. I'm going to the market to buy some vegetables first."
Zhao Mei changed the subject.
"Okay, okay, your sister-in-law will definitely be happy that she doesn't have to cook in the evening."
Zhao Yi smiled.
"By the way, where's my sister-in-law?"
Zhao Mei asked casually when she didn't see Zhang Jing.
"I went to Li Fang's house for dinner and haven't come back yet, but I should be back soon."
"Then I'll go to the vegetable market first."
Zhao Mei left the shop with a smile, and her doubts were resolved. Her elder brother helped her family without leaving any room for mercy, so how could he not help her aunt's family with whom she had a better relationship?
She just felt a little uncomfortable when she found out that Luo Hui's salary was higher than her second aunt's. She could ask her second aunt to come and work in such an easy job with high salary. Of course, she didn't dare to make the decision for Zhao Yi. She just wanted to come and talk to see if she could let her second aunt replace Luo Hui's job or add another person.
I didn't expect there were so many reasons behind this.
Zhao Yi knew what the little girl was thinking from the conversation just now. He still admired her thoughts and knew that it was good to think about relatives.
At this time, Zhang Jing took Li Fang's arm and walked towards the shop.
"Have you eaten yet, sir?"
"have eaten."
Zhao Yi responded that people who can afford home appliances are not poor, and since he is helping with the debugging and it is dinner time, how could he not treat him to a meal?
