"Back?!" After a while, Xiang Jin's mother came back, and the man hurriedly greeted her warmly and took the things from her hand naturally.
Her mother smiled and glanced sideways at the man. The joy and happiness that a little woman should have naturally showed in her eyes could not be concealed at all costs.
When she saw Xiang Jin and Yan Chen were there, she was startled for a moment, and then her face became a little uneasy. She walked over and greeted them, "You guys will go out on the street right now.
Come up, are you going to school early today?"
"Well, I have something to do and I have to get to school early," Xiang Jin nodded slightly.
Seeing that Xiang Jin's answer was a little salty and his eyes looked at her with a little scrutiny, Yang Juyun felt guilty and embarrassed. She was also flustered. She didn't know what to do for a moment.
I continued talking to her, but after a while she said again, "Well, what do you want to eat? I'll get it for you?"
Xiang Jin said, "No need, my uncle and uncle are already doing it for us."
Yang Juyun glanced at her eldest and second brother, and then said "Oh" nervously and absentmindedly.
"Mom, that Uncle Wang has been waiting for you all morning. You'd better pay my wages and let them go." Xiang Jin couldn't see her mother's submissive look.
With her hand resting and a very troubled look on her face, she finally couldn't help but said to her.
"Ah?" Yang Juyun suddenly raised her head, and when she met Xiang Jin's penetrating but slightly cold eyes, the expression on her face became more and more nervous and entangled, "Xiang Jin, me?!"
Several people present were surprised, and all looked at her, especially Xiang Jin's eldest uncle and second uncle, and the man who had an expression of disbelief on his face, and saw that he was frowning.
She looked at Xiang Jin's mother with a panicked expression.
"Mom, if you have anything to say, we'll talk about it later. You settle your wages first."
Her eyes were persistent and firm, but Yang Juyun couldn't stand it any longer. In the end, she could only lower her eyes and nod, then bit her lip and walked to the money box aside to get the money.
Xiang Jin looked at her mother's back and said, "Mom, we don't take advantage of others. We will settle the salary according to the wages of the employees in Yan Chen's hot pot restaurant.
The salary is currently 450 yuan a month. Calculated based on working hours of 26 days a month, it is an average of 17 yuan and 30 cents per day. However, the working hours in their hotpot restaurant are from 9:30 in the morning to 9:30 in the morning.
At half past nine in the evening, that is
Twelve hours, that’s an average of just over 1.4 yuan an hour. We don’t calculate it with him based on 1.4 yuan an hour. We calculate it with him based on the labor price of 2 yuan an hour. Mom, please do the calculation.
Son, how many times has he come to our place to help us, and how long does he help each time on average? If it is less than an hour, we will calculate it as one hour. If it is more than an hour, we will calculate it as two hours.
He calculates."
After Yang Juyun heard this, he turned his back to Xiang Jin and nodded slightly, "Well, I understand!"
When the man saw this, he quickly stood up and said to Xiang Jin, "Xiang Jin, I'm not your mother's servant, I'm..."
Xiang Jincai didn't give him a chance to tell the truth, but stopped him directly and said, "I don't care if you are, but in my opinion you are. Our family's business is not very busy. Uncle Wang thanked him before."
, but I don’t need to trouble you anymore.”
Seeing her resolute attitude, the man naturally saw that she was not happy with him, so he frowned at her and said, "You are studying abroad, so you may not know how prosperous your business is.
How busy your mother is, she can't handle it alone."
Xiang Jin lowered his eyes, and a cold smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, "Of course I know what my family's business is like. If I say she is not busy, she is not busy. Even if she is busy, I can find it for my mother.
If you are a suitable helper, there is no need to bother you anymore, Uncle Wang. Uncle Wang, you can go about your own business!"
"Xiang Jin, your mother and I, we..."
The man wanted to say something more, but Xiang Jin interrupted him again, "How did you meet my mother? I don't know, and I don't want to know! Uncle Wang, since that's the point, then I also
I won’t be subtle with you anymore, I don’t like you, so you’d better not appear in front of us in the future!”
"You? You little girl, what do you know? Your mother and I are matters between adults. You..." Seeing Xiang Jin, the man made it clear what he said.
Yang Juyun was afraid that he would go too far, so she quickly put a wad of money into his hand and pushed him out, "Let's go, let's go."
,Stop talking, just leave quickly, ah?!"
The man didn't want to leave, so Yang Juyun looked at him with pleading eyes, "Please, leave quickly. The child can't accept it at first sight. I'll talk to her later, ah?!"
The man glanced at her and then in Jin's direction. With Yang Juyun sending him pleading eyes, the man finally left reluctantly.
Yang Juyun secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then turned around to find Xiang Jin, "Xiang Jin, me?!"
Seeing that she was hesitant to speak, Xiang Jin first turned aside and asked her uncle and uncle to help take care of the shop, and then asked her mother to go inside and talk.
Yang Juyun was a little hesitant. In fact, she was a little afraid of Xiang Jin from the bottom of her heart. She was afraid that she would give her a harsh words. She was even more afraid of seeing her contemptuous and sarcastic eyes. After all, she had told her before.
, she said that she did not plan to find anyone else in her life, and would just live by the two sisters, but now...she didn't know how to talk to her.
Xiang Jin walked in front and was already a long way away. Seeing that she was still standing still and not moving, he turned sideways and said to her, "Do you want me to talk to you here?"
"Oh, no, no, no, right now, right now, mom will be here right away," Yang Juyun waved her hands quickly, but her expression was still tangled.
She walked up to Xiang Jin, and Xiang Jin turned around and continued walking back.
When they reached the very end, which was the bottom of the kitchen, Yang Juyun hesitantly glanced at Xiang Jin, her eldest aunt and her second aunt. They were also there, and they knew what the mother and daughter were going to talk about next, so they both
They left the kitchen one after another.
Seeing that they had all left, Yang Juyun hesitantly and cautiously called Xiang Jin, "My daughter, me?!"
Xiang Jin stretched out his hand to interrupt her, "Mom, you don't have to say anything. It's still the same. I don't object to you finding someone else and taking a step forward. After all, you are only in your thirties and not yet forty.
We are still very young, and the days to come are still long, and Xiang Lan and I are also
We will gradually grow up, and then leave this home, leave you, and face our own future lives. You really need someone to accompany you. If nothing else, it will be when neither of us is by your side in the future.
It’s good to have someone to talk to you with!”
"Daughter, I, you and Uncle Wang, we actually have nothing to do with each other," Yang Juyun's face turned red, she lowered her eyes and said sophistry, but her sophistry was so guilty and insincere.
Xiang Jin stared at her and said, "You don't need to be embarrassed or cover up. Although I am not old, I am not stupid. I also have eyes and I can see!"
Yang Juyun saw that Xiang Jin's words were true, so she no longer insisted on hiding it, "I, I didn't mean to hide it from you, I, I wanted to wait for a while, and then slowly tell you.
..."
"Does Xiang Lan know about this?" Xiang Jin asked her again.
Yang Juyun shook his head, "No, I don't know. Your uncle Wang always comes during the morning or the afternoon. Xiang Lan is in school at that time."
Xiang Jin remained silent, and then Yang Juyun added, "I didn't expect that you would be out on the street so early today, and that you would be hit so quickly."
Xiang Jin said, "Yeah, I didn't expect that either, but Mom, that man is not suitable for you! So, you should break up with him, right?"
"Why, why?" Yang Juyun suddenly raised her head and looked at her in disbelief, "Your Uncle Wang is a very kind person and treats me very well. He helps out for a few hours at a time, but he never
No complaints at all.”
A sarcastic smile appeared at the corner of Xiang Jin's mouth, "Okay? Huh, what's good? He yelled at me without even saying a few words. What do you think is good about him? What's so good about him?"
"
Yang Juyun's eyes flickered non-stop, and then she looked for excuses for the man, "That's because you clearly told him that you didn't like him, and he, he was in a hurry, and he took care of it in a hurry.
!”
"Oh, are you really good at making excuses for him?" The sarcasm in Xiang Jin's eyes became more and more obvious.
"No, I'm not making excuses for him. It's true. Xiang Jin, you, do you believe mom? Mom won't lie. Your Uncle Wang is really a good man. Your Uncle Feng's legs were injured.
After that, we can no longer have free door-to-door delivery every day. We have to pick it up ourselves. As you know, our family
Now I need a lot of meat every day, two to three hundred kilograms, which is very heavy. That time your Uncle Wang saw that I was struggling to carry the meat, so he took the initiative to help me and delivered the meat to our shop. Later, he
After knowing that Xiang Hai and I were divorced and living alone with you two sisters, I took the initiative to help me every day."
"Hmph, he knows you well, but do you know him?" Xiang Jin curled his lips and followed.
Yang Juyun responded eagerly, "I understand, I understand. Your Uncle Wang also got divorced a few years ago. It is said that he was working outside. Because he was not at home for a long time, the woman was unruly and fell in love with someone else. Later,
He found out and left her, and now he lives with his parents."
"Who did you hear that from?"
"Your Uncle Wang, your Uncle Wang said it to me personally."
"Doesn't he have children?" Xiang Jin had a gut feeling that what the man said was not true and could not be trusted!
"Yes, it is said that the child followed his mother and is about the same age as you."
Xiang Jin didn't say anything, then her mother continued, "Daughter, your mother, I have never met a lover in the first half of my life, and I have never felt any happiness at all when I was a wife and daughter-in-law. Originally, I thought that this was how I would be for the rest of my life.
The ground passed.
But until I met your Uncle Wang and saw how kind and honest he was, my withered heart seemed to come back to life again.
Don't think he doesn't look very good, but he is really a good person. Look at your mother, I don't look very good either, right?
You know, your Uncle Wang said that he doesn’t mind if I have two children and take you two sisters to live together. He said that he likes girls. Girls have good personalities, are obedient, and are caring. He said that if we become a family,
He will definitely treat you two sisters as lovingly as he treats his own children."
"Only you will believe this, and I won't believe it anyway," Xiang Jin snorted coldly, with a look of contempt in his eyes.
Yang Juyun said, "Why? It's true. When he said this, I could see that he was very serious! My daughter, do you have any misunderstanding about your Uncle Wang?"
Xiang Jin looked straight at her and said categorically, "I don't get you wrong. I see it for real. That man is definitely not your lover. You'd better break up with him as soon as possible. Again,
He is not suitable for you!"
"Why?! Did your uncle and your aunts say something to you? I know they don't really approve of me dating your Uncle Wang," Yang Juyun felt a little hurt and incomprehensible when she saw what she said.
Xiang Jin said, "No, they didn't tell me anything. I saw it myself. I've been observing him all morning."
Then Xiang Jin told him everything he had seen with his own eyes this morning, and then asked, "Do you still think he is a good person like that?"
"No, it can't be?" Yang Juyun frowned and hesitated.
Xiang Jin glanced at her angrily, "Could it be that what I saw with my own eyes could be false? Would you rather believe him than me?"
"No, how could it be? You are my daughter, how could Mom not believe you? But your Uncle Wang..." Yang Juyun said hurriedly.
Xiang Jin was a little disgusted that she kept mentioning the man in front of her, "Don't just talk to me, Uncle Wang, my Uncle Wang, I didn't acknowledge him! The reason why I said that at that time was because there were so many people outside.
, it’s just my polite words, please don’t take them seriously!
Also, I don’t care whether you really believe what I say or whether you pretend to believe what I say, in short, you can’t associate with that man anymore, I don’t like him!
If you insist on having contact with him, I won't stop you, and I respect your wishes, but I have a few requirements. One is that our braised pork recipe must not be known to him, and the other is the food on the shop.
Don't let him get involved with all the money. I'll see if I go to the bank with my eldest uncle or second uncle to open a new one later.
Account, you transfer all the money you saved in the previous card to the new card, and then give it to me, and I will keep it for you, as well as the turnover income from daily operations in the future. In addition to leaving enough for each day
In addition to the required purchase money and the change, all go to the bank and deposit it on the new card."
After Yang Juyun heard this, he immediately looked at her in disbelief and said, "Xiang Jin, do you not believe your mother or me?"
Xiang Jin said, "Yes, I don't believe you, but I don't believe him even more. Since I invested money and recipes for you to open that shop, then I have the right to operate and manage it.
As the saying goes, you must not have the intention of harming others, and you must have the intention of guarding against others. I am also giving protection to our three mothers. It only matters that that person is really a good person. If that person is as bad as I guessed,
A soft-tempered person like you can easily fall into his hands. What should you do then?
I don’t need you to support me, but what about Xiang Lan? It’s already good that I work hard to support myself and lighten your burden. You can’t still expect me to support Xiang Lan anymore, right? Let me tell you, I can’t
Promised."
"You're just calling me so stupid, and you're so obedient to being deceived by others?!" Yang Juyun looked at Xiang Jin with hurt eyes.
Xiang Jin said mercilessly, "Although I do always hope that you will be smarter when encountering problems, the fact is that you really make me uneasy.
If you agree with the suggestions I just made, then we will go find my uncle and second uncle when we go out. If you don't agree, then I will leave it at that. At the same time, you have to remember that if you suffer a loss in the future
Just don't come to me. I won't care about you or Xiang Lan anymore. Whether you are good or bad has nothing to do with me.
Ever since you and Xiang Hai divorced, I have done enough for this family, you and Xiang Lan. I wonder which 12- or 13-year-old boy in this era can pay so much for his family?
For so long, you have given me all the money, including books, living expenses, and miscellaneous expenses. You have not spent more than five hundred yuan on me. I have worked hard to support myself."
After Yang Juyun heard what she said, she couldn't help feeling a little sad, both for herself and for Xiang Jin. For more than a year, it was Xiang Jin who had supported the family inside and out.
It’s true that I haven’t taken any money from Xiang Jin in a long time.
, she is the one who provides money for her family, uses the money to support the family, uses the money to repair the house, uses the money to open a shop for them, and usually buys them this and that. Even the tuition and living expenses for her own studies are all her own.
She makes money, and she feels guilty for this.
But she was also a little sad and annoyed. She felt that these words she said were too hurtful. She was her mother no matter what. How could she say such decisive words, as if she was not her mother?
But like an outsider, she doesn't care about her? How could she just ignore her?
Xiang Jin remained silent, waiting for her reply.
After a while, Yang Juyun finally nodded and said, "Okay, I promise you, I will ask your uncles to go to the bank with you to open a new card later. I will transfer all the money in my card to you, and then I will sell it every day."
All the money earned from braised vegetables will be deposited on your card, and it will be given to you, all of it will be given to you!"
After saying that, Yang Juyun walked out without looking at her.
Looking at her angry back, Xiang Jin felt a little disappointed. It seemed that she had made up her mind to be with that man.
Sure enough, my original worries were not unnecessary!
