1145: Chapter 1145: Arrangements (7) 1145: Chapter 1145: Arrangements (7) Liang Youcai and Yang Zhenli were boiling with excitement, because from now on, they would be Ruxinâs store managers for the north and the south, respectively.
Each month, not only would they receive a handsome commission, but they would also get a per diem for each trip they made.
Although they didnât quite understand some of the words Ruxin used, both men knew how to do the math.
In short, from now on, they would each have a monthly income of no less than five taels of silver.
Such an income was even more than what the store managers in the town or even the county earned.
âYou two better do a good job.â Li Zhong, upon hearing that he was not included, didnât feel slighted at all.
Instead, he admonished Yang Zhenli and Liang Youcai, âOtherwise, Iâll be the one to come after you to settle accountsâŠâ
âDo you even need to say it?â Yang Zhenli and Liang Youcai collectively rolled their eyes at Li Zhong, âIf we donât do a good job, we would be too ashamed to face RuxinâŠâ
Yang Ruxin smiled slightly, then turned to Li Zhong, âUncle Zhong, since Aunt Hehua is about to give birth and Xiaoxiang is about to discuss marriage, you truly canât be away for long.
But I know that you are good at cooking on the kang and building houses, so, I am thinking about having you start a construction teamâŠ
I will be building quite a few houses lately, so for at least this year, you wonât be out of work, and being close to home, you wonât neglect taking care of Aunt HehuaâŠâ
âDeal.â Li Zhong slapped his thigh, âWhen the time comes, Iâll have Uncle Yanguo help me; he is truly a master craftsmanâŠ
Ruxin, you tell me how to do itâŠâ
âMy dad is in great health now, he can work no problemâŠâ said Liang Youcai, nodding eagerly.
âUncle Zhong, your wages will be the same as Uncle Baâs, five taels per month, any bonus is extra, but you have to find capable workers, diligent and honest ones at that.
You decide how much to pay them.
In any case, if there are issues with the workers, I will only hold you responsibleâŠâ
âDonât worry, Iâll make sure itâs done right,â Li Zhong nodded.
Having settled the menâs matters, Yang Ruxin took out the headpieces, âI want to give these to Sister Xiaoxiang and Sister XiaoyuâŠ
Aunties, if youâd like to make them, you are also welcomeâŠâ
âI can make twenty or thirty of these a dayâŠâ Liu Cuiyun burst into laughter upon seeing the headpieces, âFive wen each, Ruxin, isnât that too much?â
âNot at all,â Yang Ruxin shook her head, âIf they sell well, I will even increase the wagesâŠ
Since you are willing, come to our house to learn in the next few days.
Once you get proficient, you might even earn as much as the menâŠâ
âItâs a pity I canât make them now.â Wang Hehua was a bit frustrated, âOtherwiseâŠâ
âYou just take it easy,â Zhao Xinghua quickly waved her hand, âIf you can safely give birth to the two babies in your belly, that will bring more joy than any amount of money, right Brother Li Zhong?â
âRight,â Li Zhong nodded earnestly.
Everyone couldnât help but laugh.
âBy the way, someone has asked about a marriage match for my Tie Dan.â Zhao Xinghua waited until all the serious matters had been discussed before speaking, âThey want to come and meet in two days, Ruxin, come and help your aunt keep an eye out, will you?â
Yang Ruxin frowned, âAuntie, Iâm not even married myself.â
âThen on that day, come over and play with Xiaoyu.â Zhao Xinghua felt her request was a bit odd and laughed awkwardly, âAnyway, itâs always good to have more people take a look, isnât it?â
âAlright then, Iâll go with Xiaoxiang to visit Xiaoyu,â said Yang Ruxin, glancing at Li Xiang.
Li Xiang nodded, âAuntie, Iâll go too.
I want to see what kind of girl Brother Tie Danâs future wife will beâŠâ
