The story of a cook

Chapter 67 Asking for Xiaohong's Salary
In this world, one can live without money, but not without dignity.

I remember that when I was helping Fifth Sister to pay for school, I went to a relative’s house. I didn’t borrow much, 50 yuan. The relative said a lot of nasty things, and finally gave me 20 yuan. I didn’t take the 20 yuan. Get up and leave.

20 yuan can solve many things for the fifth sister to go to school, but it can't solve the problem of bowing her head and being a human being for a lifetime.

I don't want to bow my head and be a man.

Classmate Liu Jun's younger sister, Xiaohong, is going home to visit her mother. When she came out, her mother was ill. Although she is better now, as a daughter, she still misses her very much and wants to go home to see her.Xiaohong wanted to go home, but her boss didn't want to pay her wages, but only paid her the travel expenses to go home. The reason was that the restaurant didn't make money and had no money.

Xiaohong came to me and told me about it. After hearing this, she was very angry and told Xiaohong that it was fine, and I will ask for it for you.

He and Xiaohong came to the restaurant where she worked.

The boss is a man in his 30s, and he looks lewd to me.

The boss asked me who I was, and I said it was Xiaohong's brother.Maybe it's because I look fierce and bald, so the boss's tone is not straight.

The boss said: "It's not that I don't pay her wages, the restaurant really doesn't make money, and there is no money to pay her wages."

I said: "There are no restaurants in this street that don't make money. I don't have any other intentions to come here. My sister is going home. You can pay her salary. Her mother is sick at home and needs money. Money is not worth it." A lot, I heard from my sister that it costs 200 yuan for three months, and this 1000 yuan is nothing to a big boss like you, so you just opened it for her, and I thank you in advance.”

I told him very politely.

"I really have no money. If I have money, why don't I give it to her?" said the boss.

"My younger sister works at the bar with you. She knows whether the restaurant makes money or not. It's not clear. I think it's better to open the money. You don't have to embarrass a little girl." I started to get a little angry.

The boss first talked about this and that, nothing more than wanting not to pay wages, and finally said: "I can't reconcile the accounts of some bars now. If I want to get paid, I need to reconcile the accounts first. If the accounts are correct, I will pay the bills." Give wages."

Xiaohong said: "I have never missed a penny at the bar, and I give you exactly one penny every day. If you don't want to give it, you can say that you don't want to give it, and you even talk about reconciliation. How can there be a stub of our account? Every day you finish reading and take the money and leave. It’s all handwritten. You use it as paper for the back kitchen that day. Where do you go to reconcile the account?” Xiaohong was a little emotional, and said in a trembling voice: “Aren’t you Do you want me to accompany you? If I don’t do it, you won’t pay me a salary! I don’t want my salary, I’ll see how long you can spend it.”

After Xiaohong finished speaking, I became angry. She stared at the boss and asked, "Is what my sister said true?"

The boss didn't speak, his eyes avoided me.

I asked Xiaohong again: "Xiaohong, did he touch you?"

"I wanted to touch it, but I didn't let it go, I didn't touch it." Xiaohong said.

I picked up a chair and threw it at the boss. The boy also saw that I was about to make a move, so he dodged very quickly, and the chair fell to the ground and shattered.At this time, people from the kitchen and front hall of the hotel also came over, some of them were asking me, and some were asking the boss.In fact, the boss didn't need to pull at all, he didn't dare to come up at all, and the chef who pulled me didn't know me, so he pulled me symbolically.

When I got anxious, I was more energetic than usual, and I didn't know where the energy came from. I shook my body and threw the two people who pulled me away. I rushed to hit the boss, and was pulled away after a few hits.

At this time, a woman came from behind. She was about forty years old, and she came to pull me and said to me: "Brother, don't get excited, don't do it, tell me if you have something to say."

"I can't tell you, I abolished him today, so that he can't be a man in this life." I shouted loudly.

The woman grabbed me and said, "Brother, it doesn't matter if you abolish him, come, come to me if you need something, and tell me."

At this time, the chef who pulled me said to me: "Calm down, this is the boss sister, if you have something to say to her, she can solve it."

I thought it was impossible to beat the boss, so I sat down and talked with the woman.

In fact, this woman knew everything, and gave Xiaohong her salary without much discussion, and I led Xiaohong out of the hotel.After coming out, Xiaohong told me that this woman is the boss's iron son, ten years older than the boss.In fact, the restaurant was opened by this woman with money, and the boss was in charge there. In addition, the boss was a teacher from the Teachers College. Because of the relationship between men and women, she got divorced and was transferred to the logistics.There was no fight this time, and if there was a fight, he probably wouldn't be able to keep his logistics job.

Sometimes the kitchen boy asked me if I was afraid of fighting, and I said no.When fighting, you have to see whether you are reasonable or not. If you are reasonable, you will be confident, and you will not be afraid of anything when you fight.Don't fight if you are unreasonable. If you are unreasonable, you will feel guilty. If you are guilty, you will have no strength to fight. That is not fighting, but looking for a beating.Just like that boss, it’s unreasonable not to pay wages, and he also molested Xiaohong, wanting Xiaohong to sleep with him, it’s just a mess, seeing me getting excited, he gets nervous, it’s better for him if he doesn’t get beaten .

Now that I think about it, I was young and angry at the time, and I couldn’t hold back the matter, so I would do it if I said it. If it was possible, I wouldn’t do it now. It’s a harmonious society. Who would beat people? Besides, there is no such thing as work without money up.

Back at the hotel bar, Sister Zhang saw me first, and said to me, "Tan Zi is back."

I said, "Well, I'm back."

Sister Zhang looked me up and down and asked, "What are you doing here? Did you get into a fight?"

I said, "No."

"Not yet, you see that your clothes are all open, and there is a big tear." Sister Zhang said.

I saw that there was a big hole in the sleeve of the clothes, and I didn't pay attention to it during the fight, but I found out when Sister Zhang said it.It's very distressing, but sister Zhao bought this, and I made a list of it before wearing it a few times.

At this time Yaru came over, looked at me, pulled my clothes and asked, "Who did you fight with? You even tore my clothes."

I said, "There was no fight, just scratch."

Yaru tugged at me and took my hand.Only then did I realize that the little finger of my right hand was bleeding, and I couldn't remember how I touched it, but the blood stopped flowing.

"I haven't fought yet, look, my fingers are bleeding." After Yaru finished speaking, he dragged me into the small private room, then went out to the bar to get hydrogen peroxide and a band-aid, and came back to clean my wound.

She dipped the hydrogen peroxide with a cotton swab and gently wiped the wound. As soon as the blood met the hydrogen peroxide, it started to bubble.

She asked, "Does it hurt?"

I said, "It doesn't hurt."

"Who did you fight with?"

"Boss Xiaohong is my classmate's sister, her boss."

I told her about the fight.

"Call me next time there is such a thing, and I will go there too." She said.

"You are not afraid of fighting, and you don't know how to fight." I said.

"I don't know how to fight, but I dare to fight, and I'm not afraid."

I saw that this is also a master who is not afraid of trouble.

She said: "I rely on you to go out. Just now my brother and my sister-in-law came. I was worried that they would see you."

What a coincidence, I went out and her brother and her sister-in-law came. I wanted to meet her brother and her sister-in-law, but it was a pity that I didn't.

"What are you afraid of? An ugly daughter-in-law has to see her parents-in-law. Sooner or later she won't be able to see her." I said.

"Fuck you, you're not afraid of anything, what should I do? If they know about us, I'll be done, and you won't be able to see me."

"Then I'll go to your house to find you, and I'm afraid I won't see you."

"Do you know where my home is? Even if you don't know where my home is, you still go to my home to look for me? Hmph, you don't necessarily have to look for someone."

After I finished speaking, I patted my finger that had just been pasted with a Band-Aid. I let out a "sigh", and she quickly held up her finger and said, "Forget it, forget it, it doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt."

I was amused by her cuteness.

I went to the restaurant where Xiaohong worked to ask for wages from Xiaohong, and I didn’t pay much attention to the fight with the boss, but after all, the restaurant where Xiaohong worked and the Rose Hotel were not far away, and they were both on the same street. It spread within a few days.To say that people’s mouths are really the most powerful, whether they know it or not, whether they hear it or see it, most of them are spreading rumors, and it’s not known what will happen when they pass them on.

After that, everyone on Taishan Road knew that there was a fat man who had a bad temper and beat up the restaurant owner.

Hearing this is just a smile, what should I do, it's useless to talk more.

The boss asked me when he knew about it: "Third brother, did you beat the boss?"

I said, "No, I wanted to fight but I didn't."

I told the boss what happened, and the boss said: "Yes, we don't cause trouble when we have nothing to do, and we are not afraid of trouble when things happen. When we encounter such a situation, we will take action. Who cares about him, whoever he loves, let's talk after the fight."

Huang Ping said: "Don't listen to Brother Xing, Tan Zi, don't go alone next time this happens, call your second brother and ask him to find some people to go with him. This time the boss is finished, if you encounter If you are in society, you will suffer and be beaten."

"Who can you go to? Just ask me. I'm the best at handling this matter. It's all a bunch of brats who have gone against the sky." Lao Dao said, "Your second sister-in-law is right, don't go alone, If you suffer like that, if you find a few more people, you won't suffer if you fight."

"It was only this time that I ran into the fucker, so I started to repair him, and I didn't hit him much in the end." I said, "In the future, if you don't do it, you don't do it. Whoever is idle has nothing to fight, don't worry, There will be no next time, if there is, bring a few more people there."
