Dali Xiaoli is only sixteen or seventeen years old this year, and still young in Su Liuer's eyes.
The idea of recruiting the two as her younger brothers was just a spur of the moment decision. She thought that they were still young and not that bad, otherwise they wouldn't have used rusty and blunt knives to rob. They could still be saved. Of course, she also had her own selfish motives, wanting to have two more helpers who could do things for her.
It was fate that these two people were still working for her today, but she really didn't deserve the fact that they called her their adopted parents today.
"Okay, okay, don't you think it's corny for two grown men? You're even acting like a parent again. I can't give birth to a son as old as you." Su Liuer waved her hands in disdain and urged the two of them to do their work.
The two of them responded in unison and went to work with full energy.
When Wang Po came back from buying vegetables, Su Liuer also paid her wages.
It's fifty cents more than Dali Xiaoli.
Mrs. Wang frowned and refused to take it. All her money was taken away by Wang Fangfang. The little money left for her was not enough for her to eat so well every day and have meat every day. All of this was spent by Su Liuer.
To put it bluntly, she is now living with Su Liuer's family, so why should she be asked for wages?
It’s still one hundred and fifty coins!
Su Liuer insisted, "If it weren't for me, you could have earned enough by embroidering at home for a month without having to work so hard. Now you have to follow me around every day. No matter how much money this shop makes, it all belongs to Jing Qingrong and me. In the final analysis, you are also working for me in the shop. Since you are working, you deserve wages. Take it!"
"You just opened your shop and you need money right now. Keep this money for your use."
"If you don't take my wages, I can't let you work in the shop anymore. If we can't handle it, I can hire another guy. It won't be a big deal."
Mrs. Wang said anxiously, "How can that be? If I don't come, who will take Hong'an to the academy? Who will buy groceries and cook for you? You can't just invite waiters. What if the waiters we invite are unreliable and leak the magic herb recipe? No, no, I have to come!"
Su Liuer pushed the purse containing her wages forward and said, "Then you can collect last month's wages. After receiving the wages, you can continue to work in my shop, otherwise I will replace you."
Mrs. Wang glared at Su Liuer angrily, but Su Liuer looked at her without giving in. This was a matter of principle and she could not give in.
Mrs. Wang is already in her fifties, and she still gets up early and goes to bed late every day. In this hot weather, she stays by the stove to boil herbal juice, cook and make soup, and runs around to clean up. If she is not paid enough, she will really feel guilty.
The two were deadlocked for a moment.
Su Liuer closed the account book, smiled, and said in a softer tone:
"Mother-in-law, are you going to accept this money or not? I'm asking you this one last time. You know I always keep my word and I'm not lying to you."
After using both soft and hard tactics, Mrs. Wang finally nodded helplessly.
"Then I'll go to work." Wang Po took the money and left. She had made up her mind to save the money and return it to Su Liuer when she had saved ten taels of silver.
Wang Fangfang is her daughter. If she doesn't return the money she stole, then her mother will have to pay it back.
Su Liu'er didn't know that this was Wang Po's plan, but she knew she would definitely tell Wang Po -
Not to mention ten taels of silver, Su Liuer would not let Wang Po pay back even a penny for Wang Fangfang. Wang Fangfang should pay back what she owes herself!
"Madam Su, Madam Su, are you there?" There was a knock on the shop door, and Mo Zifan's voice came from outside the door.
