Currently, her market has just opened up, and she cannot guarantee how much money she can make or how much revenue she can earn. But since Zhang Xiuhong is willing to work with her, she cannot treat her unfairly.
"The basic salary is 10 yuan per month, and there is a commission of 2 cents per kilogram of herbs. I decide how many kilograms of herbs to collect to prevent a backlog of herbs due to too few orders." The salary Shen Sisi offered her was very good.
Zhang Xiuhong can get a basic salary of 10 yuan every month just by sitting at home, and she doesn't have fixed working hours, which is equivalent to a part-time job.
There is also a separate commission for herbal medicine.
No matter how you calculate this account, Shen Sisi is at a loss.
Shen Sisi was of course aware of this. She could just charge for the herbs and not include the basic salary, but... she also didn't want to let Zhang Xiuhong down and dampen her enthusiasm.
Zhang Xiuhong's eyes lit up when she heard the conditions: "A monthly salary of 10 yuan is enough for our family to eat and buy meat. There is also extra money. This pound of herbs is 2 cents, 10 pounds is 20 cents, and 100 pounds is 2 yuan! It's not a small amount..."
You know, her family eats pretty well, and her living expenses are only 6 or 7 yuan a month.
With 10 yuan for living expenses, there is still some savings to keep as her little piggy bank. Isn't that great?
...
...
Zhang Xiuhong secretly covered her chest. Fortunately, she almost missed a great opportunity to make money.
"You tell me... what kind of shit luck do I have... Not only did you save me, but you also eased the tension between me and my family, and now you're giving me work to do and paying me. I, I really don't know what to say."
Shen Sisi's eyes were smiling, and the curvature of her eyes was just right, and the whole world became gentle and full of light.
She patted Zhang Xiuhong on the shoulder and said, "Then do a good job!"
Shen Sisi did what she said and taught Zhang Xiuhong to recognize several kinds of herbs along the way.
Zhang Xiuhong has been working in the countryside since she was a child, and has dealt with wild flowers and weeds a lot. She quickly memorized the medicinal herbs that Shen Sisi told her about.
She seemed to have some kind of talent in this area.
"I understand. I'll hang out more often when I have time. No one knows the hills around here better than me."
But Shen Sisi was still worried.
"You are a woman, can you go into the mountains alone?"
"In case of danger..."
Zhang Xiuhong's fingers creaked as she gripped the sickle. "I've been going up the mountain to cut grass for pigs by myself since I was only a few years old. I'm used to it. Don't worry, no matter if it's the birds and beasts in the mountains or those bad guys, it's bad luck for them to meet me!"
Jokes aside, as the saying goes, one should not go into the mountains alone, she thought that she still had to find a companion for Zhang Xiuhong. Who should she find?
A very suitable person suddenly came to her mind—Li Wenhui!
After parting with Zhang Xiuhong, Shen Sisi went straight to Li Wenhui's house.
Li Wenhui had chopped some meat today and was rolling out dough in the sun at the door. She was planning to make a pot of sauerkraut dumplings and bring them to Shen Sisi when she saw Shen Sisi walking in in a hurry.
"Sisi, come quickly. I made some dumplings. You can take some back to try later..."
Shen Sisi was dazzled by her swift movements.
Li Wenhui is so skillful, she can do everything.
Looking at her white fingertips like bamboo shoots, Chen Sisi stood at the door hesitantly, and suddenly he was speechless. Would it be too much of a waste to go up the mountain to cut herbs with such beautiful and delicate hands?
It was not until Li Wenhui warmly invited her to come in and sit down that Shen Sisi came to her senses.
"What day is today? We are actually making dumplings." Shen Sisi sat down holding Niuniu.
Niu Niu looked at the ball of flour on the chopping board with curiosity and wanted to reach out to grab it, but was stopped by Shen Sisi.
Li Wenhui was amused by Niu Niu's naughty appearance. She took a small flour ball lovingly, stuffed it into Niu Niu's hand, and let her play with it as if it were plasticine.
She stared at Niuniu in a trance, and replied slowly and quietly: "It's nothing, it's not a big day, it's just that after this meal, my brother Yong and I will have to eat radishes and cabbages every day from now on."
"What do you mean?" Shen Sisi asked.
Li Wenhui said: "Today, someone from Brother Yong's hometown came to tell us that they are going to hold a banquet for his mother's 60th birthday. Brother Yong is the most promising one in their family, and they are all counting on him for the money."
"Brother Yong is a filial son. He knew that his brothers were in trouble, so he agreed to pay the lion's share and even took away the passbook!"
Speaking of this, Li Wenhui became anxious, but she didn't dare to say much. After all, the money in the family was earned by Cheng Yong, and she just cooked and washed clothes at home every day, and she didn't have any other skills.
The most important thing is that she has been married for several years, but there has been no movement in her belly.
Staying at home without making any money and without having any children, Li Wenhui always felt that she was a burden and a drag on Cheng Yong.
Shen Sisi had thought she was quite optimistic before, but she didn’t expect that she had so many things on her mind.
"There's no movement in your stomach...have you seen a doctor?" Shen Sisi asked with concern.
"I went to the doctor and was told that I had severe uterine cold and it would be difficult to get pregnant. Even if I did get pregnant, it would be easy to have a miscarriage..." Li Wenhui's heart ached when she talked about this.
She was indeed pregnant with a boy two years ago, but the pregnancy suddenly stopped when it was five months old.
After that incident, her foundation was completely damaged, and it became extremely difficult for her to get pregnant.
"How dare I say no to Brother Yong in my situation? Of course, I don't dare go back to the old lady's birthday party. If I go back, I will be criticized."
It's not her fault that she can't get pregnant due to uterine cold, and she doesn't want to...
As a woman herself, Shen Sisi felt very sympathetic towards her situation.
Li Wenhui was looking forward to her child growing up day by day, but in the end, the child died when he was five months old. How heartbroken must she be?
It's like digging out a piece of flesh from her heart!
"I'm sorry for making you sad." Shen Sisi's tone was very low.
Li Wenhui suddenly burst into laughter: "Hey, it's nothing. I'm not a good person. I'm just optimistic by nature. I think more about the positive side of things, and then life will go smoothly."
"As for the child...it depends on fate. If I really can't get pregnant, I won't delay Brother Yong. I will take the initiative to file for divorce."
Shen Sisi just looked at her quietly.
It turns out that every woman in this world has her own difficulties.
It's just that she was lucky to meet Gu Chengfeng.
Thinking that Li Wenhui was short of money, Shen Sisi stopped hiding and said straight to the point: "If there is a job that can earn you some living expenses and you have free time, but... you need to go up the mountain to cut herbs frequently, are you willing to try it?"
Go up the mountain to cut herbs?
Li Wenhui frowned immediately. She always liked quietness and didn't like to move. She would gasp to death if she was asked to climb a mountain.
However, having free time and being able to make money sounds pretty good.
"What kind of work?" she asked.
Shen Sisi immediately became interested and offered the same conditions to Li Wenhui as she had offered to Zhang Xiuhong.
“Although the base salary is not high, you still get commissions,” Shen Sisi explained.
"We..." Li Wenhui asked, "Who else?"
Shen Sisi deliberately kept it a secret: "You'll know when the time comes..."
Li Wenhui stopped rolling the dough and just sat there quietly.
Shen Sisi could see that she was considering it seriously.
