The next day, Ye Feng called Wan Ning, Wan Qiu, Wan Ru and Wan Xiu to the dean's study.
Ye Feng said: "Today happens to be the time to pay wages."
As he spoke, Ye Feng took out four purses and placed them in front of the desk. The purses had everyone's name embroidered on them.
Wan Ru and Wan Qiu were very happy. It seemed that this was not the first time they had received this money. But it's obvious that the late show doesn't know,
So Wanxiu asked: "Sir, what is salary?"
Ye Feng said: "It's just monthly money."
Wanxiu asked again: "Master, what is monthly money?"
Ye Feng said: "Wanxiu, do you know that maids from wealthy families all have monthly income?"
Wan Xiu said in surprise: "You signed the deed of betrayal and paid back?"
Ye Feng said: "Of course, this is the case for all wealthy families. I have told you that you are not servants, nor are you maids. So just treat this as your pocket money. Anyway, it has the same meaning. For the time being, I will give each of you 100 Wen as pocket money every month.”
Ye Feng suddenly paused and said: "Wanxiu, you should have heard your three sisters say that I am not from the ancient fairyland, I come from the outside world. In my hometown, there is no such thing as a contract of betrayal. .So your bond of sale, like your three sisters, can be taken back at any time after you have been busy working here for a year. At that time, if you want to leave or continue to stay and work, I will not stop you. Then If you are willing to continue working, I will sign a labor contract with you at that time."
When Ye Feng says this, you may feel contradictory, but in fact, there is nothing contradictory about it. This is like a company. If no one is really willing to stay and help you after a year of working for you, then your company and you, the boss, will have a problem.
Although Ye Feng plans to make Wan Ning the person in charge of the outer courtyard, if Yangming Academy cannot even retain one of its own employees, then how can it retain the hearts of the people of Yutao Village. In that case, it is better to close the shop as soon as possible. So this is not only a kind of self-confidence, but also a kind of supervision for oneself. Ye Feng wants to change something within a year.
Although Wan Xiu didn't quite understand everything in front of her, she knew that she could get the money at this moment, but she was hesitant, not knowing whether she should take it or not.
In fact, apart from Wan Xiu, Wan Ning, Wan Qiu and Wan Ru did not move either.
Wan Ning said: "Since it is the master's order, everyone should take it."
After hearing the eldest sister's instructions, Wan Qiu and Wan Ru were very happy, so they happily took their share, while Wan Xiu also got her share with some trepidation. To be honest, Wanxiu never thought that one day he would have his own money.
But when Ye Feng saw that Wan Ning was still not taking it, he could only sigh helplessly. It had been like this every time in the past few months. So Ye Feng had to stand up and put the purse belonging to Wan Ning into Wan Ning's hand.
Wan Ning looked at Ye Feng with a complicated expression, and finally accepted it.
Ye Feng said: "I will give you four a day off today. You can go anywhere, go home, or go shopping on the street, but you must be back before evening. I have something to arrange for you later."
All four people said: "Yes, sir."
At this time, Wanxiu asked timidly: "Master, is this money really money for us? Can we do anything?"
Ye Feng said: "Yes, that's your own money. You can spend it however you want. Okay, I'm a little tired and I'm going to take a nap. You can do whatever you like."
In fact, what Ye Feng called taking a nap was actually continuing to practice in the dream space.
After Ye Feng left, Wan Xiu asked Wan Ning carefully: "Sister, my father is sick. I want to take the money back to treat my father. Will the master be unhappy if he finds out?"
Wan Ning smiled and said: "Master, he won't do it. He just said that these are your wages. You can do whatever you want with them."
After hearing this, Wanxiu's eyes lit up and she said, "Then I want to go home and give the money to my mother."
Wan Qiu and Wan Ru both said, "Well, I also want to go home and take a look."
Wan Ning knew what everyone was thinking, and also understood the reason why the master gave everyone a day off, just to give everyone time to go home and see.
So Wan Ning nodded and said: "Whoever wants to go home can go back and have a look, but you can't stay too long. You must come back before evening, and you can't leave without coming back. Do you understand?"
Wan Qiu stuck out her tongue and said, "Sister, what fool would leave and never come back? Besides, Yangming Academy is so awesome now. When the gentry in Yutao Village see you, it's like seeing your aunt. We will also take advantage of it. Besides, I can’t eat well or sleep well when I go back, and I have to work from dawn to dusk. Everyone is stupid not to come back.”
Wan Ning said: "You are the only one who talks a lot! Then let's go back separately. Don't forget the time."
Wan Ning said to Wan Xiu: "Wan Xiu, your father is sick. I don't know how much it will cost. You can use my share first."
Wan Xiu shook her head hurriedly and said: "No, eldest sister, I don't want it, I'm afraid I can't afford it."
Wan Ning said: "Silly sister, the master said, this is the monthly money, which is the money you have every month. You can just pay me back next month."
Wan Xiu said: "But, eldest sister, you won't reply..."
Wan Qiu covered Wan Xiu's mouth and dragged Wan Xiu out with Wan Ru. Wan Ning seemed to have thought of something, and then she hurriedly chased out. She grabbed a few sisters who were still walking away, frowned and ordered: "It's okay to go back and give money, but don't say that this money is available every month. Just say that it is." The master has a happy event, so I will give him a reward."
Then he said with a stern expression: "We are not children anymore. Don't cause trouble to me."
Although these little girls are not very old, in this environment, some of them have matured their minds earlier. They knew what Wan Ning meant. They were afraid that their family members would come to ask for money every month in the future, or even go to the master directly.
So the three of them nodded to express their understanding.
. . .
A small alley on the edge of Yutao Village is crowded and dilapidated. The narrow road is full of puddles, and livestock and even human excrement can be seen everywhere. The people living here are ordinary farmers who live in poor households and rely on farming and hygiene.
Wanxiu had only been away for just one day, and it seemed a little uncomfortable to come back to this accustomed environment again, but she was still very excited. She came to the door of her small courtyard and pushed open the door, which was riddled with holes and could not even block her sight. A sense of desolation and ruin came to her face.
"Sister, it's eldest sister!"
Wan Xiu's five-year-old second brother was collecting firewood in the yard. When he saw his sister coming back, he immediately ran over in surprise and hugged Wan Xiu's waist. Wan Xiu was happy, but also had a headache. If her clean clothes were stained, she would be scolded by her sisters when she went back. But she was really happy to see her brother.
"Sister!" The three-year-old third brother who was playing at the door of the house also ran over and pounced on her. His small black hands gave Wan Xiu an even greater headache.
