Chapter 10 My income will be shared with you

At ten o'clock at noon, Li Heng brought his younger sister.

"You haven't had lunch yet, have you?" Zhao Linger asked while holding his sister's hand.

The younger sister looked at Zhao Linger timidly.

"Brother, I'm so hungry." The younger sister looked back at Li Heng.

"Little sister, come, my sister has prepared a lot of delicious food for you.

"Ah San, serve the food!"

Sweet and sour fish, tomato and egg soup, two bowls of beef ramen, fried pork liver and a plate of fried vegetables arrived on the table quickly.

"Brother." The younger sister looked at Li Heng expectantly.

"Eat."

The younger sister couldn't wait to let the elder brother hug her onto the stool, picked up the chopsticks and started to gobble it up.

"Your sister is so cute, what's her name?" Zhao Linger asked.

"Ayao."

"Well, that's a good name." Zhao Ling'er nodded: "Have you thought about how to support her in the future?"

"I want to work in a bun shop."

"Well, it's a good idea." Zhao Ling'er nodded: "I'm afraid it's not safe for your sister to be alone at home?"

Li Heng pondered for a while: "During the day, can you let her follow you?"

Zhao Linger looked at A Yao: "It is possible, but it is better to send her to study."

"Study?" Li Heng suddenly smiled: "She is so old? Besides, she is a girl, how can such a little girl go to school?"

"It's no problem for her to be literate at such an age. Girls, there is no harm in reading more books."

"Why don't you go to study?" Li Heng asked.

"Me? I have read many more books than you. Otherwise, how could I raise myself so fat at such a young age?" Zhao Linger looked at Li Heng proudly.

Li Heng stopped talking.

"Don't worry, I'll cover Ah Yao's tuition. You don't have to worry. You just need to support yourself first." Zhao Linger patted Li Heng on the shoulder.

"Where did you get so much money?"

"Haha! Money? Isn't it easy to earn?" Zhao Linger said easily.

"You take your younger sister to visit Mr. Private School in the afternoon." Zhao Linger said and took out 10 Wen from her pocket: "You ask how much it will cost first, come here to meet me at 6 pm, and we will have dinner together."

"Zhou You, how much did Li Heng's mother's burial cost in total?" Zhao Linger walked to the front desk.

"Not much. They are all poor people. They only hired people to dig graves, bought a new suit of clothes, burned paper money, some tributes, and a coffin. It cost a total of 320 Wen."

"Yeah." Zhao Linger nodded: "Including the 380 wen owed to you last night, the total is [-] wen."

I gave Li Heng ten papers just now, and received 120 papers in the morning, leaving 110 papers left.

"I'll pay you back tomorrow or the day after tomorrow." Zhao Linger said to Zhou You.

Zhou You nodded.

"By the way, there is one more thing I want to discuss with you." Zhao Linger looked at Zhou You.

"what's up?"

"How about you help me sell Hu spicy soup in the morning? Just like me, I'm responsible for serving the rice, washing the dishes, and settling the bills. Anyway, it's usually you who settle the bills. How about dividing half of my income for you every day?"

"Really?" Zhou You immediately became interested.

"You can earn 61 cash in one morning. One thousand and eight hundred cash a month, twenty-one thousand six hundred cash a year, 21 taels of silver!" Zhou You said to himself while flipping the abacus quickly, getting more and more excited.

"In this case, I can marry Wan'er next year!" Zhou You stood up, shaking Zhao Linger's shoulder: "Little girl, you are really my lucky star!"

Zhao Ling'er smiled and gave him a blank look, is this little money enough?If you want to get married, I'm afraid you can't get it without 100 taels of silver!

"Since you agree, let's sign a contract. From now on, Junpeng Inn's hot and spicy soup business will be under your control. However, if the business gets worse and worse, I will change people!" Zhao Linger said .

"Don't worry! I see you busy every day, and I have already memorized your set of procedures! Hello, guest officer! Our hot and spicy soup is fragrant and thick, delicious! Our The fritters are loose and soft, would you like to have a taste of two? Brother, your hairstyle is so pretty, you haven’t eaten yet, would you like to try our hot and spicy soup?” Zhou You smiled and imitated Zhao Linger’s usual hospitality The appearance of the guests.

"Haha!" Zhao Linger nodded in satisfaction.

I didn't sleep well last night, hurry up and catch up, I still have something to do in the afternoon!
"Linger!" Hearing the knock on the door, Zhao Linger woke up from her sleep.

It was Lin Wan'er's voice.

I saw her holding a dress wrapped in kraft paper in her hands.

"I've been waiting for you at home for a long time, but you haven't gone, so I thought I'd bring it to you." Wan'er said with a smile.

"Oh, thank you! I slept so deeply that I forgot the time!" Zhao Linger took the clothes.

The jacket as a whole is rose pink, with a square collar and a circle of soft and thick rabbit fur around the square collar. It is a cardigan with pearl buttons.There are also small flowers inlaid with pearls on the top.The bottom is a creamy white pleated skirt.

Imagine how Mrs. Su would look younger than her usual image!

"Well done!" Zhao Ling'er took Lin Wan'er's arm and went downstairs.

Zhou You had already told her about Hu Hot Soup, and she was very grateful to Zhao Linger.

When I came downstairs, I saw that Li Heng and A Yao had also arrived.

Li Heng said, Mr. Private School said that little girls don't need to pay for school, and they don't take the scholar exam anyway, just a book fee is enough.

"En." Zhao Linger nodded.

"You want A Yao to study?" Zhou You asked in surprise.

"Yes, girl, why don't you read more?" Zhao Ling'er blurted out, not noticing that Lin Wan'er's face turned red.

"She doesn't test for talent, so what kind of books do she study? It's useless if she reads it." Zhou You said.

"How can it be a waste of time? If I can't read and calculate accounts, I won't have the business of Hu spicy soup! Besides, a woman who can't read may be sold by her husband's family in the future without knowing it!" Zhao Linger retorted.

"Well, anyway, you are very special, and we don't think it's strange if you do something out of the ordinary." Zhou You shrugged.

"Okay, let's go back and rest quickly when everyone is full!" Zhao Ling'er stood up and said, "Li Heng, you and A Yao can stay here tonight!"
