Chapter 110 Chapter 110 Let’s go back to the Su family…
Back to the Su family, after Mrs. Lu and Mrs. Mo left, Su Li took out some more silver and said, "Grandpa, Grandma, this is your wages for the past few months."
Su Li handed 12 taels of silver to Old Man Su and Mrs. Wu.
The two of them didn't know about this and were stunned. "What are you doing for us?"
"Yeah, what kind of wages do we want?"
Su Li knew they would say this.
"Why don't you want to be paid? You and grandma work so hard every day, as long as you work, you should be paid."
This matter was also discussed by Su Li and her mother Chen. Although they were all family, Su Li felt that the wages should not be less. This way, she could buy whatever she wanted without asking anyone for money, so that everyone could enjoy the fruits of their labor. As for the other money, it would naturally be saved for opening a restaurant or buying a house and land in the future.
"What's more, it's not just you who have it. My eldest sister, my fourth sister, and my mother all have it. As long as we work in the shop in the future, we will all have it."
On the other side, Su Tao heard that she also received wages and immediately became restless. "Me too? Fifth sister, are you serious?"
Su Li nodded to indicate that it was true.
Su Tao was so happy that she almost jumped up.
She got paid now?! Great! She'd been eyeing a box of rouge from the rouge shop next door for ages and was still trying to convince her mother to buy it for her. Now that she had her paycheck, she could buy it herself!
At this time, Old Man Su was about to say something when Chen spoke up, "Dad and Mom, just keep it. You've been working hard these days. It's a good time to take a break these few days. Go shopping in the county and buy whatever you want."
Originally, when Chen heard her daughter say that she wanted to use part of the money to pay everyone wages, she actually didn't agree very much. After all, they were all family, and if they wanted to spend the money, they could just spend it. Why pay wages? That would be a waste of time.
But after listening to her daughter's words, Chen also felt that it made sense. After all, sometimes it was inconvenient to buy something without money. Besides, it was not necessary to divide all the money. The majority of it would be saved for buying land and houses in the future. She only took out a part of it.
Of course, the most important reason is that in the first few months of the year, after deducting all expenses, the food shop actually earned 400 taels of silver. This is the key reason why Chen agreed.
You know, all fears come from worries about the future. If the future is full of hope, Chen will naturally not be so stingy.
After all, the purpose of earning money is to make life at home better. Chen doesn't want to see her daughter wearing patched clothes, nor does she want to see her parents-in-law worrying about money all day long.
Old Man Su still refused to take it, "Forget it, what do I need money for..."
"You can go to the opera, drink tea, watch acrobatics, and do whatever you want!" Su Li listed the things that can be played in the county one by one, meaning to tell her grandfather that as long as he has money, he can play anything.
“No, no…” Old man Su had never done these things before. As far as he could remember, his father brought him to the county to watch acrobatics when he was a child. That was the only time. After his father died, he never came again, not to mention after he got married and had children. His life was almost like an old ox, working non-stop, so much so that if he was suddenly asked to rest, he would no longer rest.
But unlike Old Man Su, Mrs. Wu had a different reaction.
"That's great, we get paid too."
As she spoke, she did not forget to say to Old Man Su, "If you don't know how to spend it, give it to me and I will spend it."
"No, why do you need to spend my money when you have something else to do..." At this time, Old Man Su quickly forgot what he had just said.
Everyone laughed when they saw this.
Then Su Li gave the silver to Su Hong and Su Tao respectively.
"Big sister, fourth sister, this is yours."
Su Tao took the silver and happily ran to the next door to buy rouge...
Chen: I knew it...
But never mind, everyone has been working hard these days.
After everyone got the silver, except for Su Tao who bought a lot of silk flowers and rouge for her head, the others did not spend the money recklessly or buy anything as before.
Chen and Mrs. Wu took advantage of the two days of rest to burn incense together and buy some cloth to make summer clothes. Old Man Su, on the other hand, only went to the theater twice and stopped going. When asked why, he said it wasn't good. When everyone asked him why, they found out that he was just standing outside the theater to listen because he couldn't bear to spend money...
As for Su Li, she rested well at home for three days and developed new dishes by the way. To be honest, Su Li didn't have any particularly big ambitions. Her biggest dream was to live a stable and ordinary life. She didn't have any particularly high desires. The only thing she liked to do was cooking. Others might not believe it, but cooking made her feel particularly healed and fulfilled, especially if someone liked the food she cooked, she would be particularly happy and happy.
However, although the Su family members were resting, they still took some time to return to the village. It wasn't for anything else, to put it simply, it was to recruit people.
Nowadays, the food shop has to sell three meals a day, and there is too much work. It was okay at the beginning, but later, the number of buns sold for breakfast increased, and the number of meals for lunch increased. Everyone became more and more tired, and there was almost no chance to breathe from morning to night. If this continues, it will not be long before everyone is exhausted. So the Su family discussed it and decided to hire two more people. Then everyone can take turns to rest, which will greatly reduce everyone's burden.
But the question of who to recruit became a problem. This person had to be honest and reliable. After much deliberation, Chen proposed two candidates: Qiu and Jiang. Both of them were from the same village, and their husbands were from the same garrison as Su's father. They had helped to retrieve the dowry for Su Hong, the eldest sister. Chen had dealt with both of them before, and they were both relatively honest people. So she decided to go back and ask them in person if they were willing.
Little did they know that as soon as Chen opened her mouth and before she even mentioned the monthly salary, the two of them agreed immediately.
He was even afraid that if he spoke too slowly, Chen would regret it.
Chen also wanted the two of them to ask their parents-in-law whether they agreed. After all, they would need to live in the shop and could only take a holiday at the end of the month.
Qiu: "No need to ask, I will definitely agree."
Jiang said the same thing.
The family was barely making ends meet, and now with such a good opportunity in front of them, how could they not agree? Especially Mrs. Qiu, whose youngest son had just fallen ill and had cost a lot of money, so she was short of money at the time.
The Jiang family is in the same situation, not much better.
On this side, Chen saw that both of them had no problem, so she talked about the wages and other things again. The two of them had bright eyes and their chests were heaving, and they couldn't wait to go to the shop to work.
"no problem."
"good."
