Chapter 140 Everyone Wants to Be Mistress 2
"At least half a tael. If you are appreciated by the shopkeeper, you may get more. Moreover, if you work as a waiter in a restaurant, you may receive rewards from time to time. You can earn more, even one tael of silver.
You can bring back the food that can't be eaten in the restaurant for us to eat. Look at your sister, she is so thin that her skin is just skin and bones. The same is true for mother. She has a stomachache every night because of hunger. How can those brown rice porridge and wild vegetables fill our stomachs? "
Widow Liu often went to town.
In addition, he is a gossipy person and is familiar with everyone, so he naturally has a wide range of knowledge.
What she said was true.
Being a waiter means earning a lot of money and having lots of benefits, which is very popular.
Therefore, she and Wang Xiu Lian mistakenly thought that Jiang Dahe and his brothers worked as waiters in the shop, which made them so angry.
"Okay, I'll go look for it in town tomorrow."
I heard that I could earn one or two taels of silver a month.
Jiang Zhuzi's eyes suddenly lit up.
As long as he works hard for five months, he can marry Sun Xiaotao.
Five months is not a long time, but it is not fast either.
At least before the end of the year, Sun Xiaotao is still fifteen years old.
in time.
For the sake of his wife, he must go to town.
Jiang Zhuzi's words almost made Widow Liu jump up from her chair.
"Son, don't lie to me. Did you really mean what you said just now?"
She looked at her eldest son eagerly.
My mouth opened involuntarily.
"Really? I'm going to town early tomorrow morning."
With hope for the future, Jiang Zhuzi became much less aggressive.
"Okay, okay, you are worthy of being my good son. Yadan, take out the meat buns from the backpack and give them to your brother."
Widow Liu burst into laughter through her tears.
"Oh, Mom, is there only one meat bun? Do you want me to take it to the kitchen and cut it into three pieces?"
Jiang Yadan opened the leaves, looked at the lonely meat bun, and swallowed.
Too greedy.
My family hasn't eaten meat for several years.
She thought that this meat bun was bought by her mother for the whole family to eat.
So he suggested to his mother.
"Why cut it into three pieces? You're a little girl and you still want to eat meat buns? I bought this for your big brother. Go, give it to your big brother and don't even think about taking the meat buns."
Widow Liu glared at her daughter.
Jiang Yadan lowered her head in disappointment.
He obediently handed the meat bun to his elder brother.
Jiang Zhuzi didn't even say he would give her a share.
He ate it all by himself.
The corners of his mouth were shiny.
Jiang Yadan took the leaves used to wrap the meat buns and hid in the kitchen, licking them secretly.
Although it is stained with the aroma of meat buns.
But nothing comes out of it.
It’s just self-deception.
On the other side, Wang Xiu Lian's family had already started eating dinner.
The dinner table.
Her husband Jiang Dahu heard that she went to the town with Widow Liu.
His eyes narrowed slightly.
"Snapped--"
He just slapped the table.
The table, which was already missing half a leg, shook twice and almost collapsed.
"Don't get involved with Widow Liu anymore. Don't you know who she is? How many people in the village gossip about her? Do you want to learn from her and steal a man?"
Jiang Dahu cursed in front of his children and grandchildren.
"The kids are here, what are you talking about? I just get along well with her. Okay, okay, at worst I'll just have less contact with her in the future. Let's not talk about this anymore. I have something important to say.
Zi Chong and Zi Tao, you two brothers should go to the town more often in your free time to see if there are any shops hiring. Jiang Da and his brothers have both become waiters, so you are no worse than them. You should go too, and you might find a job. Waiters earn a lot, and you can bring food home. Then our family will have a much better life."
Wang Xiu Lian felt sour in her heart when she thought of the Jiang family’s greasy faces after eating.
"They are working as waiters in this town? How come I don't know about this when?"
Jiang Dahu's anger disappeared inexplicably.
His attention was drawn to the news that Wang Xiu Lian said.
He just asked with confusion.
"Just today, I went to the town to sell dried mushrooms, and later accompanied Widow Liu to the Food Street to buy meat buns. When I passed by, I happened to see the two brothers working as waiters in a shop selling green bean soup and meat patties. I wondered why Zhang Jinlan took her family to the town every day, and it turned out that her son secretly became a waiter and sent them to the town to work.
You forgot that a few days ago, her family bought a lot of mung beans in the village, probably to bribe the shop owner. Now that I think about it, everything makes sense. Otherwise, why would they buy so many mung beans? A few baskets of mung beans can be exchanged for two waiters. It's worth it."
As soon as Wang Xiu Lian finished speaking, the whole family had an expression of sudden enlightenment.
"But what about the farm work? We have several acres of land and the children are still young. We can't let Dad take care of the farm work alone when we go to town."
Jiang Zichong was somewhat disapproving.
It’s not like he hasn’t been to town before.
It was very difficult to find odd jobs a few days ago. You could not even earn eight cents a day, and there were still a lot of people vying for the job, not to mention the waiters. There were so many people watching them. How could they, who could not even read a single word, possibly compete with others?
Besides, he has a pair of children, the eldest daughter is only five years old, and the youngest son is only three years old.
My younger brother is an only child and can't even walk steadily.
He and his brother went to town. Who will take care of the whole family?
"Silly child, your mother is here. She will stay at home to take care of the children, and your wife and your sister-in-law will take your place to work in the fields. Together with your father, the three of us will be busy. Don't worry, you know that the situation is not good now. If we don't endure hardships, we won't be able to fill our stomachs.
If you work hard and become a waiter, our family won't have to worry about food and drink in the future. Look at these three children, they are as thin as kittens. Don't you feel sorry for them?"
Wang Xiu Lian continued to persuade.
"Brother, just listen to mother. We will go to town early tomorrow morning."
Jiang Zitao has been persuaded.
"Zichong, you and Zitao can go without worry, I'm at home."
Jiang Dahu also said this.
"Dad, go ahead. I will work hard."
Jiang Zi Chong heard what his wife Fan Yingying said.
He finally nodded.
"Well, okay, Zitao and I will go to town tomorrow morning, but, mother, it's hard to find a waiter. If we can't find one, we can just do odd jobs."
Jiang Zi Chong knew it clearly.
The shop was small and two people were fighting for it.
If it was really that easy to find, would it still be the turn of the two brothers?
I’m afraid my mother’s beautiful dream will be shattered.
"What kind of odd jobs are there? Just look for a waiter. Don't worry. Take your time. If we can't find it in one day, we can look for two or three days until we find it."
Wang Xiulian could not tolerate anything else.
What's the point of doing odd jobs?
I'm exhausted but still can't make any money.
Jiang Zichong, who was holding the bowl of rice, also fell silent.
He knew there was no point in saying more.
Just continue eating.
Anyway, mother will wake up sooner or later.
The Jiang family at this time.
Jiang Fubao also started eating dinner.
