Xu Yingtao took a sip of the ginger and jujube tea in her hand, with a surprised look on her face: "Hard work? He only needs to sell 20 kilograms of food every day, and the price is 50 cents per kilogram. I can give him half of the commission. Is it hard work?"

Seeing that Chen Fusheng couldn't figure out the accounts for a long time, Jiang reminded him: "My eldest daughter-in-law means that if you sell 20 kilograms of food every day, I will give you a commission of 500 coins."

Upon hearing this, Chen Fusheng stood up suddenly, his eyes shining.

Five hundred coins a day, at the end of a month, is fifteen taels of silver.

What a pain!

He couldn't wait to get to work!

Chen Fusheng often hangs out in the town, so he is naturally familiar with the food in Nanxi Village. He also knows that the price is reasonable.

The second branch of the Xie family didn't cheat him!

The two elders of the Chen family were stunned by this great news. It took them a while to come back to their senses, their faces flushed with excitement.

Only Chen was in tears.

Yingtao said that she had to bear all the losses caused by her brother, and she even wanted to die.

But this was a job she had personally asked for, so she couldn't go back on her word and could only accept it.

You have to finish the road you choose even if you have to crawl!

Then, Xu Yingtao instructed Chen Fusheng on some details, such as the dress code when reporting for duty tomorrow, coming to her to settle the bill every five days, and that he would be assigned a partner, etc.

Her solemn and serious instructions invisibly increased the trust of the Chen family.

Even after walking out of the yard, the Chen family was still thanking them from afar.

This made Xu Yingtao feel a little bit sorry.

After just a few short conversations, she already had a general understanding of Chen Fusheng's character. Not only was he ambitious but incompetent, his brain was also not very good. If you set a trap for such a person, he would definitely not be able to avoid it.

Five days.

In five days at the latest, Chen Fusheng will be in trouble.

Xu Yingtao was just thinking about it when she heard Xie Bai say in the room, "Sister-in-law, you haven't finished your tracing homework for the past two days. The master will check it this afternoon."

Xu Yingtao suddenly shuddered.

Yesterday, because of Mrs. Cao's incident, she asked someone to go to Beixi Village to ask for leave, and she also missed the daily red-character copybook.

Xu Yingtao turned around dejectedly and went into the house to start doing his homework.

She thought she had made a lot of progress, but when she handed her homework to Yan Heng for correction in the afternoon, her master still marked it with dense red circles, reminding her that her strokes were not regular and the strength was not correct.

Xu Yingtao wanted to cry.

No matter how successful her business was, or how obedient she was, in front of her master, she seemed like an elementary school kid who was not worthy of being on the stage.

Xue Qingqiu patted her head lovingly and said with a smile: "Your master is like this, he is particularly serious about these things. Master's wife thinks that our Cherry is well written, so she is not upset anymore."

After that, she asked Yan Yunlan to go to the kitchen and bring a plate of snacks for her and Xie Bai.

Xu Yingtao took a bite and immediately nodded and praised: "Delicious!"

I didn’t expect that although the master’s wife lacked cooking skills, she was an excellent dim sum maker.

Xue Qingqiu smiled and said, "This is called Fuling Cake. It can strengthen the spleen and eliminate dampness, and calm the mind and nerves. Your master hasn't been sleeping well recently, so I made some to help him recover."

Xu Yingtao swallowed the snack in her mouth and said sincerely, "Master's Wife, I don't know what difficulties you and Master have encountered, but if there is anything I can help you with, please let me know."

After saying that, she pulled out a stack of banknotes from her sleeve and handed it over.

She couldn't help the Yan family in any other way, but she had no problem paying them.

The reason why we work hard to make money is, on the one hand, to improve our own lives, and on the other hand, of course, to provide protection for the people we care about.

Of course, as a businessman, she was willing to contribute to the Yan family. In addition to her feelings for her master, she naturally had her own considerations - it was an investment for the future.

Just like she paid for Xie Bai's studies, it was not completely selfless.

If her business gets into trouble in the future, maybe she can use the power of her master to help her out.

This is by no means Xu Yingtao's imagination.

The last time she was ordered by her master to take a book from her master's bookshelf, she accidentally knocked over a copy of "Spring and Autumn Essays" and inadvertently saw the densely packed comments and replies on it.

On one page, the words written in a handwriting different from her master's were: "Although the policy is good, the current situation is changing rapidly. How should we deal with it?"

Her master's handwriting replied: "The world is like a chess game, each game is new. Although I cannot predict the future, I can cultivate myself and my family and wait for the right time."

At that time, Xu Yingtao let out a silent scream.

Her master calls himself a humble official!

From then on, Xu Yingtao made up her mind that she would cling to her master's support!

Xue Qingqiu laughed and pushed the banknote back. His eyes softened as he looked at her. "No wonder your master and Yunlan both like you so much."

Xu Yingtao: “?”

Yan Yunlan liked that she could understand, but every time her master saw her homework, his face turned as black as the bottom of a pot.

She was always worried every time, fearing that she would be expelled from the sect.

It's not necessary for her to read this book. After all, she is now the head of the village. If she is really expelled by her master, how can she save face?

She also wants to save face.

Xu Yingtao couldn't help but lower her voice and asked, "Master's Wife, please tell me quietly, what does Master like about me?"

Xue Qingqiu was amused by her vigilant look and said in a gentle voice: "He praised you for being both worldly-wise and innocent and straightforward, and for being good at scheming in the world and optimistic."

Of course, what Yan Heng liked most about her was her vitality.

Xu Yingtao's act of finding a way out of desperation undoubtedly added a glimmer of hope to Yan Heng's bleak and frustrated life.

Xue Qingqiu was extremely grateful to these two young disciples. If it weren't for them, she really doubted that her husband would have been able to hold on.

Of course, Xue Qingqiu did not say these emotional words out loud.

Xu Yingtao understood what her master meant. He meant that she was an open-minded and profiteer.

You know what, she really is!

Since she no longer had to worry about being expelled from the school, Xu Yingtao continued to be a shameless student.

Two days passed in the blink of an eye.

As the sun sets, a faint afterglow hangs on the horizon.

Xu Erlai returned to the village and came to report work progress to Xu Yingtao as usual.

"Young Master, Chen Fusheng can't hold on any longer."

He did not step into the yard, but stood outside the fence and talked with Xu Yingtao from a distance.

Hearing this, Xu Yingtao smiled and said, "Not bad, you can actually last for two days."

Xu Erlai grinned, showing a bit of satisfaction: "He complained to me at noon, saying that if he had known this job was so difficult, he would not have taken it. But luckily I persuaded him and told him that I would help him find a solution tomorrow."

Xu Yingtao praised: "You have done a good job. You have worked hard these days. I will give you a bonus when you are done."

Xu Erlai thanked him profusely and wanted to brag a few more times when he saw Xie Bai coming out of the main room carrying a bloody, skinned rabbit and glanced at him nonchalantly.

The scene he saw by the river that day suddenly flashed through Xu Erlai's mind. He was so frightened that he took two steps back, saying "Little master, I'm going back to eat," and hurried away.

Xu Yingtao looked at Xu Erlai's fleeing back, full of confusion, and whispered: "Why are you running? I don't eat people. I haven't finished my words yet."

But she changed her mind and decided it wasn't a big deal, so she stopped worrying about it.
