It’s not easy for Tielin!
That’s why I specially asked my second brother to drive me here today. Come on, good boy, let’s have a drink together.”
Liu Yafang lowered her head and pondered. How could what her uncle said contradict his previous instructions? Last time, he even taught her how to siphon money from her brother-in-law. This old man was two-faced.
What she didn't know was that the old man cared a lot about her and was worried about her.
My great uncle thought that the money had to be paid back.
Bi Tielin is not looking for Cui Liu anymore. If he wants to find someone who is powerful but useless, then his niece is so nagging. If she has the hotel room taken back because she didn't pay the rent, then all his efforts will be in vain.
Look at this young man Tielin, he is so angry now, that's because he is alone.
When he gets married, he is a man and he knows too well that if he gets a wife who is cunning and good at coaxing people, he may not be able to manage the family.
Liu Fenghe drank two taels of wine and felt bad again.
Especially when he looked up and saw Bi Yue chewing on the pig's trotters, he felt so delicious. It didn't matter that it smelled delicious, but he kept calling his cousins "uncle" and treated him as his relative as if he were his own.
Liu Fenghe was a bit talkative, and afraid that Bi Yue wouldn't look at him, he even grabbed Bi Yue's arm:
"Hey Bi Yue, you little brat. Are you trying to fool me?
When I asked you about your work, you kept talking like you were starving.
What do you mean? There's no work I can do, and you still want me to pay you two to make up for the loss? In your big restaurant, you work for free and don't pay me? "
Just go for those two in your pocket!
Bi Yue looked up at her fat uncle:
"No. Then who will do the job for you? We're short of chefs and people who can chop the food. A chef should at least make sure the food looks good and smells good. A restaurant is not a cafeteria."
At this point, Bi Yue glanced at Bi Tielin again and thought to herself, let's learn it together, so that my uncle won't lose face.
"My uncle was short of people after that year. He was going to dig coal. He needed workers to work, so he lived in the shed without his family. He needed people who could endure hardship.
As for tobacco and alcohol, he has his own niche.
Except for the few bosses who work with him at the counter, all other employees are required to be local Kyoto residents.
He needs connections, right? He has to make factories and other things buy cigarettes and alcohol from him all year round, during festivals and holidays."
After saying that, Bi Yue spread out her greasy hands that had just gnawed on the pig's trotter.
Bi Tielin took over the topic, but he looked down on him unless he explained it to Liu Fenghe. He turned his head and said to his uncle:
"When Dapeng came to my place, he just ran errands and moved goods.
On our side of the Bi family, the only one left is the third uncle who is not out of the fifth generation. That boy is the child of his younger sister, so he is also a relative.
He said that I would provide him with food and shelter, and that he didn't need any wages since he was young. I didn't want to pay him either.
You said that young boys need practice in everything they do. If that's the case, I'll pay him when he turns 18. If not, I'll send him back.
Uncle, from my perspective, I’m not saying that I should support anyone or not.
The jobs I do are dirty and tiring. I can earn money, but it is very hard work.
These days, my brother and I were having dinner with the villagers. There were a lot of people coming and going, and quite a few people were asking about the tragedy that happened in a family in our village a while ago.
They couldn't help but think of me as their backup. I told them that if they were willing to endure the hardship, they could come find me after the New Year. There were no foremen, and no easy work.
You said I have to work, right? As you said, I have a weak foundation! "
Bi Tielin's implication was that anyone could go to Kyoto to find him, but they had to be able to do the work. Don't bother asking him about who you were related to, because he didn't support his uncle.
And through this incident, Bi Tielin and Bi Yue both realized that there was something they couldn't tell Bi Tiegang and Liu Yafang. They were too open-mouthed!
Bi Yue looked at the unwilling Liu Fenghe and suggested:
"Hey? Uncle, my dad is going to Kyoto for surgery after the New Year and can't get out of bed. If you don't have anything else to do, can you go and take care of him for a few days?"
"I, I don't farm. I have a lot of things to do at home."
…
Bi Yue kept a smile on her face when discussing work. Even though she despised her uncle, she always reminded herself that he was her mother's brother. Don't make things difficult for her mother.
But after enduring for so long, all my efforts were wasted.
My uncle and his family left on a handcart at dusk, and took my aunt with them.
The only outsider in the family is this fat uncle.
Liu Fenghe leaned back on the kang and insisted on staying there for a few days. There was no other way, who could chase someone away in front of Liu Yafang?
Bi Yue sat on a small stool, looking at the greasy bowls and plates in the washbasin in front of her, frowned, and rubbed her forehead with the sleeve of her clothes.
While paddling the water, he complained to himself.
From the day she saw her mother washing dishes in a perfunctory manner and took over, it is no exaggeration to say that she wanted to wash a basin of dishes for every meal.
The alkaline powder burned her hands, so she had to apply a thick layer of cream every night.
After washing the laundry tub once, I had to wash and iron each piece of laundry in a large pot. I went home for the New Year, and I didn't gain any weight. I even seemed to have lost a few pounds.
"Bi Yue?"
Hearing Liu Fenghe calling her, Bi Yue pretended to be deaf and did not answer. She turned around and glanced at Liu Yafang and Bi Tiegang who were chatting with Aunt Pang at the gate.
"Bi Yue, I'm talking to you!"
Bi Tielin paused while making tea.
Bi Jinzhi was sweeping up cigarette butts on the floor when she said, "Why are you calling Yueyue? She's working. What do you think? She wants some tea to sober up?"
Liu Fenghe waved his hand nonchalantly: "Bi Yue? Bring your uncle a basin of water to wash his feet. Make sure it's hot."
