Chapter 065 Cooperation Conditions

"It's right here. She should be home by now. I'll go talk to her first." Second Aunt took Tang Yuan back home. "You go in and sit for a while."

"Okay, just bring the person over later." Tang Yuan nodded, and went into his second aunt's house with Shen Wenyu.

My second aunt’s house doesn’t look good from the outside, but when you go inside, it looks very clean and tidy, and there are quite a few pieces of furniture.

Before she could ask, Shen Wenyu spoke first: "My second aunt is willing to make money and spend money. She made some money recently and happened to be at the scrap yard. Occasionally, she would buy some things that people were selling and put them at home. Unconsciously, she put a lot more, but it looks good, right?"

"That's good. The purpose of making money is to spend it. If you live frugally, there's no point in making a lot of money." Tang Yuan was talking to Shen Wenyu. Just as they sat down and prepared to chat for a while, they saw their second aunt coming with some people. It was less than two minutes since she left.

Sensing her puzzled look, the second aunt spoke first: "I told her the general situation, and she couldn't wait to come over. She said that as long as she can make money, she will do whatever you ask her to do."

Tang Yuan was stunned for a moment, and looked at the person that Second Aunt brought back, and saw pleading in her eyes.

Shen Wenyu, who was sitting next to her, touched her. Tang Yuan took a step forward and said, "Okay, let's sit down and talk about the situation. You sit down too. Let's talk about what to do next."

"I don't have any embroidery on hand..." the other party began cautiously.

"It's okay, I trust Second Aunt," Tang Yuan said, asking the other party to sit down with Second Aunt. Then he took out scraps of cloth from his bag and spread them out in front of the people one by one. "Let me make it clear to you first. This scrap of cloth is to be used to make a wallet. No matter what style of wallet it is, it is still a wallet, so some particularly sharp corners do not need to be embroidered with patterns. You can do the rest as you like."

"I can play freely?" the other party was surprised.

"Yes, you can embroider whatever you want. Don't worry about anything else. Once you finish, I will find someone else to make it into a wallet," Tang Yuan said, and took out a notebook and a box of crayons. "You can also draw a picture of what you want to embroider in order to make it into a qualified wallet. Of course, it doesn't matter if you don't have it. I will naturally take care of it."

As for the step of making a wallet, instead of asking someone to do it, it is better for her to do it in the game space. After all, no matter how skilled a person is, he cannot compare with the game space in terms of speed.

She let him do what he wanted because she was confident that she could make a qualified wallet out of scraps of cloth with any pattern.

However, having said that, she still took out a few finished products and showed them the approximate shape, so that they could have an idea of ​​where they could stop embroidering.

"I...I can try."

"Second Aunt said you can do it, so you definitely can do it," Tang Yuan said with a smile, "What's your name?"

"My last name is Wei, which means health."

"Then I'll call you Aunt Wei," Tang Yuan spread out the things she brought. "The fabrics, silk threads, notebooks and pens are all here. Aunt Wei, you can take them home and embroider them later. I will set the price according to the difficulty of the embroidery. I may have some subjective ideas, but as long as you embroider, it will definitely not be a problem to earn a few dimes every day."

"That's enough, just a few cents is enough," Aunt Wei said quickly, "It's a good idea. Just give me the price you want, and I will embroider it for you."

"Well, as for the follow-up situation, Second Aunt and I will be able to meet in a few days. You can hand the things to Second Aunt, and I will calculate the money and ask Second Aunt to pass the money to you when she comes back." Tang Yuan said that she couldn't come here all the time, so it would be most appropriate to let Second Aunt help pass it on.

Second Aunt said at this time: "As long as you believe in me."

"Believe me, believe me, I believe you. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have such a good opportunity," Aunt Wei said repeatedly, turning her head to look at Tang Yuan, "Don't worry, I will definitely embroider it well for you and will never let you down."

At this time, the specific embroidery had not yet been seen, and Tang Yuan did not say much. After all, she did not spend much money on these scraps of cloth and silk threads. If it can be successful, that would be the best. If not, she would not lose anything.

Before leaving, she put the wallets she had brought as samples back into her bag and asked her second aunt to help knit a pair of fingerless gloves for Aunt Wei so that she could wear them while embroidering.

Embroidery is different from knitting a sweater. The latter can be done with gloves on, but it is difficult to embroider smoothly if you wear gloves.

Although the Qingming Festival has passed, the temperature in the northeast has not risen much. It is just warmer than before. If you embroider without gloves, you will easily get frostbite and cause discomfort in your hands. A pair of gloves does not cost much, but it can make Aunt Wei more comfortable when embroidering.

After saying this, it was already dark outside, so she left in a hurry with her bag on her back, lest she get into danger before it got too late.

After she left, Second Aunt and Aunt Wei looked at each other.

Aunt Wei had tears in her eyes and whispered, "Someone wants to share my daughter-in-law's job, and they said their salary will be cut in half in the future."

Second Aunt suddenly understood. No wonder she rushed over when she heard what she said. She put her hand on Aunt Wei's shoulder and said, "You are lucky. You just encountered this situation and Xiaofang was looking for someone to embroider. I tell you, Xiaofang is very generous. As long as you help her work well, she will definitely pay you on time."

"I believe her, and I also want to thank you, otherwise...otherwise our family really doesn't know what to do." Aunt Wei said in a low voice.

Originally, the salary of a cleaner was not high, and it was just enough to support her family. Now the salary was cut in half. Before her second aunt approached her, she even wanted to leave, so that her daughter-in-law's salary could support only two people, and there would be one less person to feed the family.

She held her second aunt's hand tightly.

Second Aunt knew the situation of her family, sighed, and whispered to her: "In this case, your daughter-in-law may have some free time in the future, you can teach her, maybe you can let her earn this money with you."

"Okay, I'll teach her. Even if we can earn five more dollars a month, our future life will not be so hard, and we can survive." Aunt Wei still held Second Aunt's hand tightly, as if she was holding a life-saving straw, and her eyes, which had gradually lost their luster, also became a little brighter.

If she has a chance to survive, she must live well.

…

Tang Yuan originally thought that it would take Aunt Wei several days to embroider, but she did not expect that two days later when she went to the scrap yard as usual, she got the embroidery that Aunt Wei had finished from her second aunt, and there were three pieces in total.

The difficulty of these three embroideries varies slightly, but no matter whether they are difficult or simple, you can see the care that was put into them. She can even think of how to make a wallet with this embroidery when she sees it for the first time.

Second Aunt saw her looking at it carefully and talked about Aunt Wei's situation: "She has been embroidering almost non-stop these past two days. I told her to knit the gloves for her first, and she started, but she said she had to show you the finished product first. She embroidered it in the dark under the kerosene lamp at night. This is what she gave me this morning, saying it's a sample and it's free."

"I have to give money. The quality of this embroidery is very good, better than I thought," Tang Yuan said, taking money out of his pocket. "It's the subjective intention we agreed on before, and it will remain the same in the future. I think these three pieces of embroidery are worth three yuan. Please take them back, Second Aunt."

When the second aunt saw the money, she immediately showed joy on her face: "Is it really possible?"

"Okay, these three embroideries of Aunt Wei are all very exquisite," Tang Yuan said with a smile, "but Second Aunt has to go back and tell her something. If Aunt Wei doesn't agree, this cooperation will not work out."

Second Aunt raised her head and suddenly stuttered, "This...this...how could she disagree? Whatever you say, she will definitely agree. I agreed for her. Xiaofang, didn't you say her embroidery is very good? She will definitely be willing to do anything."

"Then please ask Second Aunt to go back and tell Aunt Wei that it is my request. She must embroider in a place with good light during the day and cannot embroider in the dark at night. She must agree. If she doesn't agree, she is not cooperating." Tang Yuan said with a straight face.

Second Aunt looked at her blankly, completely stunned.

Shen Wenyu, who was standing next to her, reacted first and quickly touched Second Aunt: "Second Aunt, please agree. Why don't you agree? Embroidery is such a delicate thing. If you always do it in the dark, I'm afraid your eyes will go blind. Even if Aunt Wei's eyes are fine now, you can't work in the dark just to make money, right?"

Second Aunt came back to her senses and smiled again: "Okay, okay, the list you gave me is what you said. I'll explain it to her when I get back. I'll help you keep an eye on her and definitely not let her embroider at night. Really, it's so dark at night, embroidering in the dark is not good for the eyes."

Tang Yuan also smiled, and then put the money in Second Aunt's hand: "This time the embroidery is both complex and simple. The complex ones are more expensive, and the simple ones are cheaper. All in all, the total is three yuan. Please give it to Aunt Wei."

Aunt Wei embroidered three pieces of embroidery in two days. Not counting the time she worked at night, it took her about three days to finish three pieces. In this way, she could earn an average of 30 yuan per month, which was enough to cover her daily expenses.

And it was not a loss for her to take out the three dollars. After all, handicrafts in Hong Kong were valuable. She could make the embroidery into finished wallets and sell them for tens of dollars. In any case, all the profits were hers.

Fortunately, she had just earned 1,000 yuan not long ago, so she could afford to pay the salary of this "employee" who paid 30 yuan a month.

"I will definitely pass it on to you, I will definitely pass it on to you," Second Aunt looked happier than if she had made the money herself, "Xiaofang, you are really, I really don't know how to thank you, you really helped her, helped me a lot."

"This is mutually beneficial. You just take what you deserve," Tang Yuan smiled, picking up the clothes and ornaments beside him, as well as three embroidery pieces. "Then I'll leave first. As usual, I'll come back in two days."

"Walk slowly," Second Aunt sent Tang Yuan to the door of the waste station, "Slow down."
