Chapter 32
Gu Xinxin took care of Second Auntie: "Second Auntie, let's count together."
The Wang family couldn't laugh anymore.
I watched Gu Xinxin bring out a few small stools from the yard, and then took out her own basket, and began to count the eggs one by one, very loudly: "One, two..."
Eighty in total.
Two baskets of one hundred and sixty.
Gu Xinxin snorted, but did not mention what the Wang family had just said, for Wang Daya's sake. Wang Daya was almost crying at this moment - after all, the look in Second Aunt's eyes was really not good.
Gu Xinxin went to get the money, eighty cents, not one more and not one less.
She stuffed the Wang family's basket back and said, "You can take it back. Our family won't take advantage of you. By the way, Daya, stay and play for a while. I want to talk to Daya."
Wang Jia wanted to say something, but after a pause, he responded, "Okay, then Daya, you can play here."
He lowered his voice again: "It's fun, you know?"
Wang Daya didn't understand what was going on. The Wang family winked at her, looked out into the yard, and nodded. Wang Daya blushed as she thought of what she had said at home. She didn't want to respond, but her mother pinched her arm hard, and then she let go. "Then I'll go back first."
Second Aunt also waved her hand and went back. Gu Xinxin took Wang Daya to her home and said, "Come and help me with some work. Divide these eggs. Crack the ones that can't be put in first and separate the yolks and egg whites."
The eggs that cannot be kept will have spots on them, while the fresh ones will have pink shells, which are relatively easy to distinguish.
"Xinxin, please don't make small twists in front of me later." Wang Daya was silent for a moment, then lowered her voice and said, "Otherwise I will see it."
Gu Xinxin didn't care: "She saw it, so what? You tell your mother that the oil temperature must be taken into consideration. If it's not done right, the result will be just ordinary fried dough twists. I have my own secret method. If she doesn't come here to learn in person, she won't be able to learn by watching."
Wang Daya was surprised: "Really?"
"Of course it's true. Why would I lie to you?" Gu Xinxin lowered her voice and said, "I called you here to ask if you would be willing to help me with some work."
Wang Daya hesitated for a moment: "I can come and help you when I have nothing to do at home. What do you want me to do?"
"To make honey fried dough twists, my stepmother is too lazy and doesn't want to move, and I can't do it alone. If you come to help me, I'll give you fried dough twists." She couldn't give her money, because she couldn't keep the money herself, and it would be a waste for others.
There was a young girl in her company before. Even if she opened a bank account with her own ID card, she still couldn't keep the salary once it came in - her biological parents came to ask for it, crying miserably, and she felt like she couldn't live without it.
Parents who don't love their children have many ways to do things.
Beating and scolding are one way, moral kidnapping is another, and another way is to join forces with friends and relatives to suppress them.
The stepmother just walked in with an unhappy look on her face: "I heard you say bad things about me before I even entered the door. You can't do that. After all, I am your elder. If you talk like that, people will say bad things about you. It will give you a bad reputation. Your father said that from now on, you have to pay attention to your reputation."
Only if you have a good reputation can you marry into a good family.
"Then I asked you to guard the yard, where were you?" Gu Xinxin said angrily: "The Wang family almost had a scene just now, why weren't you at home helping me? Relying on you is worse than relying on a mouse to climb a tree."
Gu Chen originally wanted to teach Gu Xinxin a lesson, but seeing that Gu Xinxin had already lowered her head and was busy with her work, she didn't say anything more.
This frightened Wang Daya: "Is your stepmother so kind now?"
She just pretended nothing happened even though Gu Xinxin took the blame.
Gu Xinxin smiled and said, "Because I can make money. Who can resist money? Daya, if you follow me in the future, I guarantee that you will make money too. Then your parents will definitely not beat you."
Wang Daya was a little expectant: "Really? Then I'll do whatever you want me to do."
Gu Xinxin raised her hand and pinched her cheek, asking her to continue dividing the eggs.
She asked Gu Chenshi to come and make the small twisted dough sticks, but Gu Chenshi was a little reluctant: "There are outsiders here."
What if Wang Daya learns it secretly?
"I told you the most important things are the oil temperature and the timing. How come you don't understand?" Gu Xinxin said angrily, "If you can't learn these two things, the most you can do is buy some things and waste them. No family can afford to waste things like that. Daya, when you go back, if your mother asks you, just tell her what you saw. I want to see if she's willing to spend money to buy these things and waste them."
Daya nodded quickly. This way, her mother probably wouldn't make things difficult for her, right?
There was a lot of dough today, so after Daya divided the eggs, she also started to help with the work. She was responsible for spreading honey and egg liquid on the small twists, and then putting them in the oven according to Gu Xinxin's instructions.
Three large frames were made in one afternoon.
It’s too late now, and it’s not a good time to go out and sell it now, so I can only wait until tomorrow.
As a result, Gu Chenshi would not be at home tomorrow, and Gu Xinxin would need help even more. She discussed with Wang Daya: "How about you help me for a day and I'll give you eight copper coins?"
Wang Daya's eyes lit up immediately, but she quickly waved her hand: "No money, you're busy here, I'm free anyway, it's no big deal for me to help you with something, I have plenty of energy anyway, we are good friends, you don't have to pay, if that doesn't work, just give me a meal."
When she said the last sentence, she felt a little embarrassed: "Otherwise my mother would definitely say..."
Gu Xinxin smiled and said, "You have to pay me. I plan to hire you for a long time."
She originally wanted to give twelve, but then she thought that the money might... definitely not reach Wang Daya, so she simply said eight. When Wang Daya needed money in the future, or when she got married, she would give her the money.
She can spend it as she pleases, or use it as a dowry.
Wang Daya waved her hand and wanted to say no, but then she thought about what Gu Xinxin said about a long time... This is not a matter of one or two days. Even if she was given a meal, her parents probably wouldn't agree, right?
Gu Xinxin was very firm: "Just take it if I give it to you. That way your parents won't say anything."
She also didn't instigate Wang Daya to lie to her parents and say that it was only five or six copper coins a day, because she planned to let Gu Daniu pay for this expense, and Gu Daniu would never help Wang Daya to conceal it.
Gu Xinxin planned to give the remaining four herself.
Money is something you can't bring with you when you're born, and you can't take it with you when you die. Although she was short of money, she wasn't starving to death. Besides, it wasn't like she had to give it to Wang Daya right away. Who knew she would already be a millionaire by the time Wang Daya needed the photo? Giving her money was like giving her stones, a handful at a time.
