Chapter 127: Overpaid? (Page 1/2)
Lin Man suddenly thought that Liao Sijie had been in their house for a month and a half, but she had not paid her salary and had not given her any vacation.
When Huo Qingci came back, Lin Man asked him, "Qingci, your cousin has been living with us for a month and a half. Have you paid her salary?"
"I give you my salary every month, so I don't have much left."
"Then why don't you remind me?"
Huo Qingci smiled and said, "It's okay, it will be the same tonight."
"Qingci, give your cousin 25 yuan a month. She works quite hard. I guess she didn't sleep well during the month I was in confinement.
Pay her salary tonight, let her take two days off, and let her take her sister home tomorrow."
"good."
Lin Man took out forty yuan from the space and handed it to Huo Qingci, "You pay for it."
Huo Qingci took the money and asked, "Why so much?"
"Today is the 25th. My cousin came to our house on New Year's Eve. It has been forty-six days now."
Huo Qingci gave Lin Man a thumbs up and praised her, "Manman, you're amazing. You remember exactly how many days your cousin has been here."
"Okay, go give her the money."
Huo Qingci took the money and went to the kitchen. When Liao Sijie saw her cousin coming, she quickly put down the spatula.
"Xiao Jie, your cousin's wife said you did a good job and said she would give you 25 yuan a month. This is your salary for the next month and a half."
After Huo Qingci finished speaking, he handed over the forty yuan. Liao Sijie was so excited that she couldn't speak. Their family was in trouble, and her cousin not only found a way to get them to the island, but also provided her with a job.
Every day she helps take care of the children and do housework. With her aunt around, she doesn't do much work, but they still pay her such a high salary.
Liao Sijie took out ten yuan and gave it back to Huo Qingci, "Cousin, we agreed on twenty yuan a month, so it's twenty. It's not good to give me a raise just because I'm not doing it."
Huo Qingci returned the money and said earnestly: "Your parents are working on the farm now. Unlike those militiamen, they don't have salary subsidies. They only get rations and daily necessities. Take this money and let your parents save it for you.
I have used up all the tickets I received this month. I will send some more to my aunt next month. Tomorrow you take your sister back home to play for two days and come back in two days."
Seeing that Huo Qingci really didn't want the money, Liao Sijie had no choice but to put it away. Xiao Ya went into the kitchen to help.
Huo Qingci asked her, "Where's Xiao Yuanxiao?"
"The diaper has been changed. Your grandpa is holding you."
"Mom, I'll let Sijie go back tomorrow to rest for two days before coming back. Can I take care of Xiao Yuanxiao tonight? Mom should also have a good rest."
"Okay, then I'll take a two-night break. When Si Jie comes back, I'll take him to bed."
To celebrate Huo Yining's full moon, Xiao Ya and Liao Sijie specially prepared a table full of delicious food.
Lin Man looked at the plate of fried flower crab on the table and finally couldn't help but pick up her chopsticks. Xiao Ya reminded her, "Man Man, crabs are cold, you can't eat too much."
"Mom, I'll just eat two."
She hasn't eaten crabs since the beginning. Now that she has just finished her confinement, she can finally eat them. However, when she thinks about breastfeeding her son, she decides to eat less!
She just ate more fruits and the little guy got diarrhea and stomachache, so she had to forget about eating dishes with chili peppers. She had to wait until her son was six months old and started drinking milk.
Lin Man planned to only breastfeed her son for half a year, and then let him drink bovine colostrum and goat milk powder. There was plenty of space for these anyway, and she didn't have to spend money to buy them.
Liao Siyu said, "Cousin, can we go fishing tonight? I want to catch some crabs for Dad and the others."
Xiao Ya interrupted, "Your cousin has to work an early shift tomorrow, so he can't go fishing tonight. There are some crabs and squids in the bucket, and a grouper. You can bring them back tomorrow."

"That won't work. My eldest cousin bought it for me."
Huo Qingci said, "You can eat it. It won't cost you much."
He didn't spend any money; it was all taken from Manman's space. After Manman gave birth to a child, there were a lot more things to do at home, so he didn't have time to go out to the sea to catch seafood.
Lin Man said, "The tide might be high in a couple of days. Mom can take Huanhuan and Siyu to go fishing."
Liao Siyu said: "Cousin, I may not come this time when I go back. I want to stay at home and cook for my parents."
Liao Sijie explained, "The busy farming season has begun again. My dad has probably gone out to work in the fields. Siyu has to stay home and cook for them. She's been playing here for over a month, so it's time for her to go back."
The nine-year-old stayed home to cook, and they weren't afraid that she would burn down the cabin.
Lin Man asked: "Siyu, can you cook?"
"Yes, I can cook, then wash the vegetables and wait for mom to come back and fry them. I can also go to the fields to help my brother."
Lin Man didn't say anything else. If she wanted to go back, she could go back. There was no need for her to work here.
Huo Qingci said, "Okay, then I'll take you guys to the beach tonight. Mom and Manman will stay at home."
Lin Man naturally wouldn't go to the beach to soak in cold water as she had just finished her confinement. If she wanted to go to the beach, she would at least wait until her son was a hundred days old.
After dinner, Huo Qingci took his younger brother Huo Qinghuan and the two sisters Liao Sijie and Liao Siyu to the beach.
While Xiao Ya was cleaning up, Lin Man took her son back to the room, thought about it, and brought him into the space.
As soon as he entered the unfamiliar place, Huo Yining suddenly woke up. Although his eyesight was not very good, he still found something wrong.
The lights in the house were particularly bright, and the smell in the air was noticeably different.
[Where is this? Did my mother kidnap me?]
Lin Man's mouth twitched. It was amazing that this kid, with such poor eyesight, could still notice something was wrong!
"Xiaozhi, come over here and scan my son."
[Scan, what are you scanning for? Does my mom want to cut off my kidneys? In my past life, they were talking about organ trafficking on TV...]
The robot butler Xiaozhi moved his chubby body quickly, "Master, Xiaozhi is here."
Lin Man knew that the little guy had misunderstood, so she said to the housekeeper, "Xiao Zhi, please help my son with a physical examination."
"Master, I've scanned it for you. Your son is fine except for being a little fat."
"Oh, is that so? Do you think I should give him some body-strengthening potion? That way he won't get sick in the future."
"Master, I think we should give up. Those strengthening potions are for people with special abilities. Your son probably can't handle it."
"Okay, if you can't drink it, then don't drink it. I'll bring him to you to see."
"Master, the medicinal spring water you gave me for testing can strengthen the body. You can let your son soak in the medicinal spring water. It is good for his health."
Huo Yining was a bit mystical. What was this superpowered person? What the hell was this strengthening potion? What medicinal spring? What was all this talking about?
Lin Man then remembered that she could get some medicinal spring water for her son to take a bath. Oh, and she had also been in confinement for a full month, so she could go to the medicinal spring pool and soak for a while.
"Xiaozhi, please help me watch my son while I go to the warehouse to pick out an electric rocking chair for him."
"Yes, Master."
Lin Man carried her son back to the room, gently placed him on the bed, and then went to the warehouse to pick out a rocking chair and toys for her son.
