She is going to Shuiyun Village today and may not be able to come back in time at noon.
I'm going to ask Yan Jiao to come over and help watch over it soon, and I'll let her make lunch then.
When Su Jin heard her words, it seemed that she was not the one cooking lunch, so she frowned and asked.
"What do you mean, you ask someone to cook the meal that my lady wants to eat at noon? Does this mean that you don't cook it for noon?
In that case, I don’t need to give you the one tael of silver that my lady gave me. In addition, the salary of fifty cents per dish and the reward for satisfying the meal are all cancelled! "
When Wang Can heard that the money was about to fly away, he was not in a hurry to leave and started arguing with her directly.
"That's not possible. Your lady didn't emphasize that I had to cook it. She just said that breakfast was not to her liking and then ordered some dishes. Since I was the only one at home, she asked me if I could cook a dish for fifty cents. .
I want to do it, but I don’t have time, but I can take over this job for someone else, right? Your lady said that I did a good job and she was satisfied with the meal, so she was rewarded with an additional one hundred coins for each dish.
But you and I both know that the dish she wants does not have to be cooked by me, otherwise she will definitely emphasize that it must be cooked by me. Her focus is on delicious food and green leafy vegetables.
In this case, I find her a good craftsman who can also cook green leafy vegetables. What's wrong with that? "
Su Jin was a little distracted by her, knowing that her young lady was deliberately making things difficult for her, so she said this.
But now listening to her analysis, it seems that there is nothing wrong with it.
Does that mean you still have to give me the money, and then let someone else do it?
In this way, wouldn't her young lady's purpose of making things difficult be achieved?
Wang Can saw that she was hesitant to give money, and couldn't help but stabbed: "Why, you didn't listen to your lady? Don't you want to order food and eat Bawang Meal instead of giving money?"
Seeing that she had even mentioned the Overlord's Meal, Su Jin immediately pursed her lips, put down the wooden basin in her hand, untied the purse hanging around her waist, and took out a piece of silver.
"Now, here you go, hurry up and go!" Don't worry about it.
No wonder my young lady was like tit for tat when she met her just now.
It’s so irritating to talk!
"Then I'll accept the money first! Although I can't cook it myself at noon, I will definitely cook it for you in the evening. By the way, the rewards and wages should be the same, right? Is there anything you particularly want to eat? If not, I’ll watch and do it when the time comes. Don’t worry, I promise it won’t be the same as ours.”
Wang Can was in a good mood after getting the money and didn't bother to care what she thought about him.
To her, Su Mingshan is here to steal her man, so her girl is probably a helper.
In that case, there's no need to be too polite.
But right now, the master and servant are still the gods of wealth to her and Sister Yuan, so they still have to have the proper attitude.
"No, no, please leave quickly."
If she finishes the matter early, she can persuade the young lady to go back early.
Anyway, my uncle is gone, so what are you still doing here?
*
Yan Jiao's uncle's house also installed two fire pits this year.
Now in the cold weather, except for those who go out to do work, everyone else is sitting on the same kang, working on their own.
When Wang Can came over, it was Yan Jiao's aunt Lin who opened the door.
Lin also knew Wang Can because Yan Jiao worked at a noodle stall.
When he saw it was her, he enthusiastically introduced the person in, and at the same time whispered: "Girl Can, you can help auntie to persuade Jiaojiao later. Don't wait any longer, it's useless!"
Yan Jiao's uncle and aunt were kind people, and they raised the only child left by her eldest uncle's family as their own daughter.
Seeing that she has been waiting for a man since she was a teenager until she was twenty, and the man has not come to propose marriage yet, she feels very anxious.
They had been talking hard before, but finally made it clear to her that if she didn't come to propose marriage after the Chinese New Year, she would find someone else to marry her by then.
Yang Gaowu, the lead escort, had been here several times before, and that time Jiaojiao told them with a shy face that he would come to propose marriage when he came back.
But they already know that he came back yesterday.
Since he didn't come to the door the day before, they just thought he was too tired and didn't take it seriously.
But it was almost time today, and there was no one around. They always felt that they had seen something from it, and they didn't want her to wait any longer.
They wanted her to take advantage of this period to get engaged first, and then get married directly before the year.
But Jiaojiao refused to give up and kept waiting and waiting!
No, I have been restless since I woke up early in the morning.
For a while, I would stop and sit there in a daze, or just look at the door.
How could she not be anxious after seeing this?
This child is hard-working and capable. He has been taken into the family since he was a child and has never stopped working.
Either help with work or learn to tie the knot.
When she is a little older, she will go out to take over Huansha's work.
Later, I learned some needlework and went to an embroidery shop to do some simple work.
In these years, they didn't ask for her money and let her save every penny by herself.
After the house left by her eldest uncle was rented out by them, the rent money was given to her for safekeeping every month.
Until now, thirteen years have passed.
She made a rough calculation and found that the child's money on hand plus what her father left behind would be a small amount of fifty taels.
This is a lot of money. All their belongings put together are not as much as this child.
They had already said that they would not take any money and would keep it for her to use as a dowry.
With this money, I can find a better young man and don't have to worry about having a bad life in the future.
But she just fell in love with the Yang family and has been putting it off until now.
He is already this age, and if he delays it any longer, it will be even worse for him in the future, and he will have no choice but to be his stepmother.
But is it that easy to be a stepmother?
As a stepmother, you should be good to your children. It's really irritating for a child to be ignorant and you can't teach him a lesson.
Once you teach a lesson, people will say, look, look, your true nature is revealed.
Also, a stepmother is a stepmother.
Just thinking about this made her feel bad.
Rather than wait like that, or marry into the Yang family, be teased by such a mother-in-law, and end up paying the dowry to the eldest uncle's family.
It's better to find a better young man while there is still room for choice.
Even if the other person is a year or two younger, that’s fine!
Wang Can also knew a few things about Yan Jiao and Yang Gaowu. Hearing Lin's anxious words, he thought for a while and persuaded in a low voice: "Aunt Lin, don't be anxious. Jiaojiao is a well-informed person."
"That girl is stubborn and stubborn. If she had known better, she wouldn't have waited until she was this old. The second son of the Yang family came back yesterday, but he hasn't come to the door yet. Isn't this obvious? Girl Can, can you help me? Auntie, please give me some advice. After the Chinese New Year, Jiaojiao will be twenty-one!"
When Wang Can heard that Lin was acting like this because Yang Gaowu didn't come to the door, he carefully considered his words before speaking.
"Aunt Lin, Brother Yang Gaowu just came back yesterday, and it's not even past noon today, so don't be anxious.
If he doesn't come over today, maybe something has delayed him. Let's wait and see again in two days.
But if you are really angry and want to know what is going on, then ask someone to inquire about it. "
