Beloved Concubine

Chapter 80

Chunhong looked astonished.She didn't expect Brother Fang to bring up the matter of Yihongyuan.

She didn't want to go that day, but each of them persuaded her to go.

Women should not go to Yihong Garden, and women who walk in Yihong Garden will be considered brothel women.She didn't dare to move around at will, what's wrong?
Besides, Sister Chen had nothing to do that day, why should she be blamed, what did she do wrong?

Chunhong suddenly felt aggrieved by being wronged.She wanted to be angry, but she didn't dare to get angry with Brother Fang, so she turned into tears and patted down.

Chen Xiao remained silent.She didn't know that Fang Yu asked Chunhong to come out to look for her that day, but Chunhong was afraid of getting lost and refused to look for her.

How big is the garden to get lost?It's an excuse.

Chen Xiao knew that Chunhong was timid.But her timidity depends on what it is. If it hurts her, she will be timid; if it is beneficial to her, she will be timid.

This kind of behavior can be called "seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages", also called selfishness.Of course, she wouldn't blame others for being selfish, people don't do everything for themselves, everyone has a selfish side.It's just that they have been in love for so long, and she is still like this, which can only show that she is a very selfish person in essence.

Chen Xiao thought of Xiao Shitou going to Mutang Village with her.At that time, they didn't know what was going on in the village, and Xiao Shitou was afraid to go, but finally he went up with her.

Chunhong burst into tears, Fang Yu glanced at her, and pulled Chen Xiao aside to rest.

In the kitchen, Xiao Shitou showed a sneering expression when he heard Brother Fang reprimanding Chunhong.

Seeing his expression, Liu Qiao thought for a while, called Zhaodi over, and whispered a few words.

Brother Zhao rubbed against the wall and groped into the warehouse step by step.

After a while, she came out with a purse and said to Chen Xiao:

"Aunt Chen, I found a purse, I don't know whose it is."

Chen Xiao was about to pick it up, when Chunhong saw it, walked over a few steps and snatched it away.

"You stole my purse!" Chunhong said angrily.

"I didn't steal it, I picked it up on the bed." Brother Zhao shrank back slightly.

"That's my bed! The money bag is under the bedding, how could you pick it up, you stole it."

Fang Yu saw the bulging money bag, which seemed to contain a lot of money, and said, "Didn't you say you have no money?"

Chunhong's face was stiff: "I... I really took home most of the money."

She wasn't lying.Her parents rented a small shop in the town to sell rice noodles, and she invested almost all her money there, keeping only a little for herself.The ten taels of silver in the purse was given to her by Gao Xiang.

Chen Xiao glanced at the purse, but said nothing.Back then when she borrowed Chunhong 20 taels of silver, she thought it was given to her in her heart.She felt that Fang Yu thought the same way.But now, why does Fang Yu want Chunhong to pay back the money?It's not like his style.

Brother Zhao was a little frightened by Chunhong, and shrank beside Chen Xiao.

At this time, Xiaoshitou came out of the kitchen and said loudly to Chunhong: "I know how much money you have! You don't pay back the money. You don't want to pay back the money at all!"

What Xiaoshitou said "know how much money you have" means that they both earn the same wages, and as much as Xiaoshitou gets, Chunhong should have the same amount.

However, what Chunhong understood was that Xiao Shitou knew how much money she had in her purse.

She looked ugly.After thinking about it, he opened the money bag and poured out all the money in it.Counting, there are ten taels of silver and more than two thousand and seven hundred Wen.

She brought twelve or two thousand Wen to Fang Yu.

"Brother Fang, I'll pay back so much first."

Fang Yu looked at Wenqian, then at her, and put the money away.

The atmosphere in the small courtyard was a bit dull.

Seeing that the meal was not ready, Chen Xiao continued to do woodwork.The shutters haven't been done yet.

……

At night, Liu Qiao and brother Zhao were laying the floor in Chen Xiao's room.

Chen Xiao didn't have a cleanliness habit of not letting others sleep in her bed, she made the floor because the bed couldn't fit.

Fang Yu seized the opportunity and asked Chen Xiao to share a room with him.

Chen Xiao was pulled into the room by him.Chen Xiao asked him: Why do you care so much about the 20 taels of silver lent to Chunhong?

Fang Yudao: "Beat a wolf for ten taels of silver, and buy Liu Qiao for 40 taels of silver." 20 taels is enough to buy a younger brother!

When she was in the mountains, Chunhong said that she would follow them without wages, as long as she had something to eat.At that time, she was pitiful and accepted her.But now, he is getting more and more dissatisfied with Chunhong and wants to drive her out.

In addition, he felt that Chen Xiao paid too much for Chunhong and Xiaoshitou, and he should reduce their wages.

The two muttered and discussed for a while.

……

On the second day, Chen Xiao hired a craftsman to build the roof, finished the shutters and installed them, and the bathroom of the wooden house was completed.

The bathroom room was vacated, and Liu Qiao's mother and daughter moved in.

During dinner at night, Chen Xiao announced that starting from next month, wages will be adjusted.

Cao Yong, Erlong, and Chunhong had three taels of silver per month, Liu Qiao had two taels of silver per month, and Xiao Shitou had five taels of silver per month.

When Liu Qiao heard that she was paid, she couldn't believe it: "Boss, I also have a salary?"

Chen Xiao: "Yes. But only you have it, Zhaodi doesn't."

Liu Qiao never imagined that, as a slave, she would actually be paid!
Chunhong asked: "Sister Chen, what about my previous [-]%...?"

Chen Xiaodao: "From next month, it will be calculated according to the new rules."

Little Stone frowned and drooped his head.Before, he felt that the wages given by Sister Chen were too high, which stupid boss would do this.When he thought of what he said in Nanzhong County, he really shot himself in the foot.However, he couldn't get five taels of silver a month elsewhere.

Plus, he's homeless and considers it his home.Sister Chen said before that she wanted to buy land and build a house, but they didn't have that much money.He understood that Sister Chen and Brother Fang were short of money.

Chunhong said: "Sister Chen, Xiaoshitou is behind me, he has five taels of silver, I..." I want to be the same as Xiaoshitou.

Fang Yudao: "Little Shitou followed us and did a lot of things. You stay guard in the store, and that's the only wage."

Chunhong: "I also followed you to run back and forth."

Fang Yu: "You don't even want to ask you to find your sister Chen. Where are you running around?"

Chunhong said: "It was only after I ran around that I opened Chunji Snack Restaurant."

Fang Yu said coldly: "You mean, without you, we wouldn't be able to open Chunji Snack Restaurant?"

Chunhong's face darkened. Their attitude towards her these two days made her feel that they wanted to drive herself away.

She thought about it, and said to Chen Xiao: "Sister Chen, can you settle my wages today." She didn't want to be angry with them here anymore.

Before, she could get a lot of money every month, no matter what kind of anger, she could bear it.But in the future, there will only be three taels of silver per month, and she feels that there is no need to stay here any longer.

After leaving here, she can run her own small restaurant.If you are your own boss and make money yourself, why bother to be angry here.

Chen Xiao saw her expression of mercilessness, and asked Xiao Shitou to bring the account book and settle the wages.

Today is the 25th, only a few days before the end of the month.After Chen Xiao finished the calculation, Chunhong could get nine taels of silver as wages.

Chun Hong said: "I borrowed your 20 taels of silver. Yesterday I paid back 12 taels, and today I will pay back another [-] taels. Return the IOU."

Chen Xiao gave her the IOU and a tael of silver, and the account was settled.

Chunhong went into the house to pack her things.

Chen Xiaodao: "It's getting dark, let's go tomorrow."

Chunhong sneered and left resolutely.

"She's just a white-eyed wolf!" Xiao Shitou was annoyed.

"Do you have any objection to reducing wages?" Chen Xiao asked him.

"Well, I still have opinions. But I know you are short of money now. Sister, when you don't need money in the future, you can give me more, okay?"

"Ha ha!"

Chen Xiao patted his shoulder.
