Chapter 27: Making Money

The two of them worked much faster, and they made 200 pieces between eight and half-past eleven.

Yang Liu stood up, stretched, twisted his neck and waist, and said to Liu Wenying, who was still lowering his head: "Let's go back to eat first, from two to five in the afternoon."

Liu Wenying stood up and said a little cautiously: "Sister Yang Liu, go and do your work. I can still do it for a while."

"Don't work so hard, go back and cook and eat, and then come back after a while."

Although Yang Liu was gentle, his words could not be refuted, so Liu Wenying took her leave and went home.

Liu's house is not far away, it only takes 20 minutes to walk.

As soon as lunch was prepared, my sister-in-law Jiang Guofeng and my nephew, who was in the first grade of elementary school, came back.

At the dinner table, the three of them were all quiet. Jiang Guofeng was eating and asked without raising his head: "Did you spend twenty yuan on your aunt's crappy sewing machine?"

"I haven't given you the money yet." Liu Wenying looked up at her sister-in-law opposite, paused and said, "But although the sewing machine is old, it can still be used."

Jiang Guofeng ate two mouthfuls of food in silence, and then said: "Your cousin came to our workshop today to talk about this. She kept saying that you took advantage of her family."

Liu Wenying lowered her head to eat and did not answer.

Jiang Guofeng put a chopstick of vegetables into his son's bowl and told him to eat quickly.

Then he glanced at Liu Wenying: "If you really need a sewing machine, you should discuss it with me. I can borrow some money to buy a slightly better one without having to ask for their favors."

Liu Wenying's hand holding the chopsticks shook: "I'm sorry, sister-in-law, did she embarrass you?"

"It doesn't matter, I've long been used to it. Hum!"

Jiang Guofeng was not a bad person. She allowed Liu Wenying to live at home for almost a year without worrying about food. For this alone, Liu Wenying was very grateful to her.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Liu Wenying, who had been wandering downstairs for a long time, entered the house on time.

Yang Liu made a cup of chrysanthemum tea and placed it next to Liu Wenying. Seeing her looking at him in surprise, Yang Liu smiled and said: "This is the wild chrysanthemum picked by our family. Steam it yourself and soak it in water. It is good for clearing away the heat in summer."

"Thank you!" Liu Wenying smiled gratefully at Yang Liu.

At five o'clock, Yang Liu immediately stopped working.

Liu Wenying stood up and was about to leave. Yang Liu took out four dollars and handed it to her: "You made 400 pieces today, and this is today's salary."

"Ah?" Liu Wenying's first thought was that Yang Liu didn't want her to work anymore, so she quickly refused: "Sister Yang Liu, is there something I didn't do well? I will change it."

Yang Liu knew that she had misunderstood, so he put the money in her hand and said with a smile: "You did a good job, I am very satisfied; by the way, I am going back to the countryside tomorrow, so come over at eight o'clock next Monday morning!"

When she heard that she was asked to come over next Monday, Liu Wenying was relieved. She blushed slightly and took the money. Suddenly she felt it was a bit hot and she thought it was too much.

Yang Liu saw through her thoughts: "It costs a penny to make one. If you make four hundred, it's exactly four yuan! We'll make a daily payment for the time being, and we'll talk about it later when we're done."

Liu Wenying's steps were dancing when she went downstairs. She earned four yuan in six hours. If she earned this much every day, she could earn one hundred and two yuan a month. Oh my god, my sister-in-law only earns thirty-five yuan a month, and her brother's income is also low.

.

She generously bought a few eggs and a two-pound handful of dried noodles, hoping to make her family happy too.
