When Jia Yuemei heard this, she became anxious. How could this be different from what they had agreed before?

But the next second, she heard the doctor ask her to get the test results in the afternoon and then go to Li Bing to get some folic acid tablets.

"I have folic acid tablets, and I haven't finished them yet."

"Just go if you're asked to. There's no harm in that."

Jia Yuemei vaguely understood something and nodded happily.

In the afternoon, after getting the test results, Jia Yuemei went to find Li Bing from the nursing department.

Li Bing handed her a bottle of folic acid tablets and teased Erya in her arms.

"Nizi is really pretty, and her younger sister is probably a little beauty too."

younger sister?

Jia Yuemei's expectations were like a bucket of cold water poured down her cheeks.

She grabbed Li Bing's hand with some hopelessness, "Isn't it a boy?"

Li Bing smiled and pulled back his hand. "Whether it's a boy or a girl, my words don't count, right?"

The subtext is that you are pregnant with a girl, and I am just telling you the result.

Perhaps because of the blow she suffered, Jia Yuemei turned around and left, holding her daughter in her arms, in a daze.

Li Bing held her back and said, "Mingzhu's sister-in-law, have you forgotten something?"

"No, I have something else to do. I'll leave first."

Jia Yuemei knew clearly that Li Bing was talking about the red envelopes, but she pretended to be ignorant.

The son she had been looking forward to didn't come, so she definitely couldn't keep the baby. Instead of giving the money away to outsiders, it would be better for her to keep it for herself to nourish her body and get pregnant with the next baby as soon as possible.

Jia Yuemei pretended to be stupid, and Li Bing couldn't rob her by force, so she could only hold her anger and go back to the hospital.

…

In the rental house, Jia Yuemei and Shen Xiangnan sat opposite each other.

"I'll go back to town tomorrow and beat the kid."

Jia Yuemei spoke to break the silence.

Shen Xiangnan looked up at her and said, "Have you thought it through? Don't you really want to?"

Jia Yuemei said angrily: "What's the point of having a girl? We already have a daughter at home. If we have another daughter, she will be taken care of by outsiders in the future. We will get nothing, not even someone to take care of us in our old age."

Shen Xiangnan looked at her already visible belly and felt very reluctant.

It’s been more than four months, and I will be able to give birth in another six months.

But then again, he really needed a boy to carry on his family line and take care of him in his old age.

"Okay, let's just assume that this kid is unlucky for us."

After the couple discussed it, Jia Yuemei began to pack her luggage.

Induced labor is more painful than abortion, and Shen Xiangnan has to stay in bed for a long period of time. Shen Xiangnan has no time to take care of the mother and daughter, so he can only go back to the countryside to find Qin Jinlian and her husband.

Thinking that the mother and daughter might not see each other for ten days or half a month, Shen Xiangnan subconsciously picked up his daughter, and then thought about something else.

"Have you given them the red envelope?"

"Yes."

Hearing this, Shen Xiangnan calmly entertained his daughter, "Er Ya, it's time to go home. Are you happy?"

…

On Shen Mingzhu's side, after receiving Li Bing's "complaint" call, she made an appointment for Li Bing and the doctor who performed the examination to have dinner.

The next day at noon, Ginkgo Building.

Shen Mingzhu ordered a table full of delicious dishes, and personally apologized to the doctor with tea instead of wine, and also gave him a red envelope.

The originally agreed amount was one hundred, but Shen Mingzhu added an extra eighteen as a sign of sincerity, and also gave Li Bing and the doctor some candies and cakes to make the matter settled.

Back to the factory.

Shen Mingzhu called Shen Hongmei to the office, calculated the meal bills, red envelope money and gifts together, and told Shen Hongmei to deduct it from Shen Xiangnan's salary when making the payroll.

…

"It's time to get your salary. Hurry up and get your money."

Following Julie's shouts, the kitchen staff put down their work and went to the front hall happily.

Shen Xiangnan walked at the back calmly, thinking that business was so brisk last month, this month's wages would probably have to increase a lot.

The salary was placed in a brown paper envelope with each person's name on it.

Those whose names are called come forward to pay and sign the salary receipt form.

Soon it was Shen Xiangnan's turn.

As soon as he took the envelope, he felt something was wrong.

The salary is in both small and large amounts, and a thin stack is put in an envelope, which makes people feel satisfied just by holding it.

But this time it was light and fluffy, without any weight at all.

When I opened it, there was a five-dollar bill inside.

"Hongmei, did you forget to pay my salary? Look, it's only five dollars!"

Shen Hongmei smiled and said, "Brother Xiangnan, there is a note inside, please read it first."

This work is organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~

Shen Xiangnan looked into the envelope and found a small note inside. He took it out and read: 118 yuan for the red envelope, 53.5 yuan for the meal, and 45.5 yuan for the gift (internal employee price).

Shen Xiangnan was completely confused. "What is this?"

"Brother Xiangnan, wait a moment. I'll tell you in detail after I pay you your salary."

Hearing this, Shen Xiangnan found a stool nearby and sat down to wait.

Finally, everyone received their salary.

Shen Hongmei packed up her things, called Shen Xiangnan outside, and told him everything about how Jia Yuemei didn't pay for the examination.

"...Brother Xiangnan, Sister Yuemei was really dishonest in what she did. She pretended to be deaf and dumb and walked away even though it was something we had agreed on in advance. In the end, Boss Shen had to clean up her mess and apologize in person."

"This loser woman!"

Shen Xiangnan is a man with a good temper, but he was also very angry.

In order to save 100 yuan in red envelopes, he lost 217 yuan. Isn't this stealing a chicken and losing the rice? If he hadn't been busy at work, Shen Xiangnan really wanted to go back to the countryside and scold Jia Yuemei.

He couldn't go back, so Jia Yuemei came running over eagerly.

It has been nearly half a month since the induced abortion, and her body has recovered well. Knowing that today is the day to pay wages, she brought her daughter into the city after lunch.

As soon as she put down her luggage, she ran to the restaurant kitchen to find Shen Xiangnan.

Shen Xiangnan doesn't like smoking or drinking, but he likes playing cards. She is worried that Shen Xiangnan will lose all his money, so she has to put it in her pocket to feel at ease.

During non-business hours, there are only two people cutting and preparing food in the kitchen.

"My home is facing south?"

"Playing cards in the dormitory."

Jia Yuemei turned around and went back to the dormitory with her daughter in her arms, walking very fast, fearing that she would lose the money if she was late.

The two men looked at each other, put down their work, and ran to the dormitory to watch the show.

The news that Chef Shen only received five dollars in salary this month has spread throughout the restaurant.

Given Jia Yuemei's personality, there will be a lot of trouble this time.

"Shen Xiangnan!"

Jia Yuemei pushed the door open and shouted loudly while standing at the door.

A group of people who were playing cards around the table in the room all looked at her.

Shen Xiangnan didn't even raise his eyes. After the cards were dealt, he threw fifty cents in the middle of the table without even looking at the cards.

"50 cents."

"Chef Shen, are you playing such a big game?"

The minimum bet is usually one cent.

Shen Xiangnan looked around and asked, "Do you want to follow?"

"Forget it, I won't follow."

One of them discarded his cards, and the other two were hesitating whether to discard or follow. Jia Yuemei walked in holding Erya and went straight to the kang.

"Where's your salary?"

Shen Xiangnan took out the envelope from his pocket and threw it on the kang.

Seeing him so straightforward, Jia Yuemei was quite happy. (End of this chapter)
