After being divorced, I took care of my two children and reached the peak of my life
Chapter 92: Working as a Waiter at Yunlai Restaurant
After Shopkeeper Tong finished speaking, he hurriedly took out five taels of silver from his sleeve and stuffed it into Wang Xiaojiang's hand. As for the extra tael, he also wanted to give it to his mother and sister so that they could buy some food to replenish their bodies.
Shopkeeper Tong originally wanted to give four taels of silver to the Wang family so that the poor woman Wang Yan'er could smoothly leave the Huang family's den of wolves. However, he was shocked by the shamelessness of the Huang family and forgot about it for a while.
But now, he felt that Han Yiyi had considered everything very carefully. At this moment, Shopkeeper Tong did not think that Han Yiyi was cheating him by asking him to buy the fish at a high price. If he gave the silver directly to the Wang family, judging from the appearance and temperament of the Wang family, even if they would accept it, they would find ways to exchange the money.
These few taels of silver are nothing to Shopkeeper Tong, but they are a huge burden to the Wang family. They might even have to sell their fields and land for it. Now things are good, and even if they are grateful, they will not sell their land for this.
In fact, Han Yiyi could have bought the fish, because she was now a wealthy woman, and it was not difficult for her to come up with the four taels of silver.
The reason why she asked Manager Tong to come forward and not herself was to prevent people from coming to her with a few fish when they have difficulties at home. She did not have so much time and energy to deal with these things. Moreover, she knew that not everyone was worth helping. She still understood the principle of repaying kindness with resentment.
As for Manager Tong, it was different. Not only was he not from this village, but as the manager of Yunlai Restaurant, even if some of these farmers wanted to make money in the future, few would dare to go directly to Yunlai Restaurant to sell fish.
In order to make it easier for him to return the four taels of silver to the Huang family, Shopkeeper Tong thoughtfully gave him small changes of one tael at a time.
Wang Xiaojiang clenched the silver in his hand again and again, looked deeply at Manager Tong and Han Yiyi, his eyes full of gratitude, but he did not speak, because he knew that it would be useless to say anything at this time. However, he, Wang Xiaojiang, remembered the kindness of the two and he would definitely repay them in the future.
He quickly knelt down and kowtowed to the two of them, then turned around and walked quickly towards his sister and mother.
He gave four taels of silver to his sister and the remaining one tael to his mother.
Wang Yan'er looked at the silver in her hand, her eyes fell on Han Yiyi and Manager Tong. There were complicated emotions in her eyes, and it was unknown what she was thinking. She bowed to the two of them across the crowd, then turned around and handed the silver to the village chief.
"Uncle Chen, thank you for your help..."
"Hmm..." The village chief's voice was full of heartache and helplessness.
Although the village chief's family conditions were better than most people, it was still difficult for him to come up with four taels of silver at once. He thought to himself that it was fortunate that he had Han Yiyi's help, so he took the silver and hurriedly arranged for someone to write a divorce letter.
Actually, the most educated person in Zhushan Village is of course the scholar Fan Ting. He happened to be at the scene at that time, so the village chief called him over.
Hearing the village chief calling Fan Ting's name, Han Yiyi couldn't help but look at Fan Ting in the crowd. Well, the more he looked, the more he felt that the original owner's taste was not very good. His appearance was the kind that you couldn't find even in a crowd. He didn't look like his son Yuan'er, who was so handsome.
In fact, Han Yiyi's words were a bit biased. Even Fan Ting's pretty boy skin and scholar's long gown would have made him very eye-catching standing in the crowd. It was just that she was only concerned with the Huang family and didn't pay attention to anyone else, so she didn't see him.
She didn't pay attention to Fan Ting, but as soon as Fan Ting entered the Huang family's yard, his eyes were fixed on her.
Especially just now, when Han Yiyi was talking to Manager Tong, Fan Ting's eyes were filled with jealousy for a moment. If he had not been worried that he would be embarrassed by Nangong Yuan behind him in front of so many people, he would have pulled her over to question her about her relationship with Manager Tong.
As Fan Ting was writing the divorce papers in his hand, he couldn't help but recall the scene when he threw the papers in front of Han Yiyi. He couldn't help but look up at Han Yiyi in the crowd with complicated eyes.
Han Yiyi noticed the look in Fan Ting's eyes this time, and felt disgusted. She rolled her eyes at him and turned her face away.
Wang Yan'er looked at the divorce papers in her hand, tears silently falling from the corners of her eyes. The next moment, she sobbed softly, and then burst into tears, as if she wanted to vent all the grievances she had suffered over the past year...
Old Lady Huang took the four taels of silver and the divorce papers from the village chief, looked at the wailing Wang Yan'er with disdain, and muttered softly, "Hmph, the remaining four taels of silver will be considered my son's payment for his whoring for the past year..."
Mrs. Huang's voice was very soft. Apart from Huang's father and Huang Dachuan, only the village chief who was closest to her heard her words.
After hearing what Old Lady Huang said, the village chief was more ruthless than ever before.
"Mrs. Huang, please be careful about your words and actions. If you want to stay in our Zhushan Village in the future, you must behave yourself..."
Seeing the village chief's scary look, Old Lady Huang shut her mouth awkwardly.
The Queen Mother, supported by her son and daughter, came to Shopkeeper Tong and was about to kneel down, but Shopkeeper Tong quickly stretched out his hand to stop her.
"We will never forget your great kindness today. We will return this one tael of silver to you first. As for the remaining four taels of silver, we will slowly return them to you in the future..."
As he said this, he asked for the one or two taels of silver that Wang Xiaojiang had given him and returned it to Manager Tong first.
"Old sister, what are you doing? These five taels of silver are the money I need to buy the fish. Could it be that you don't want to sell the fish? That won't do. I have my eyes on this fish and I must buy it today..."
"Well, you're joking. How can this little fish be worth five taels of silver..."
"If I say it's worth it, then it's worth it..."
Han Yiyi looked at the three people in front of him and thought to himself, this is the way the world is. The kinder people are, the easier it is for them to be bullied. So his eyes fell on Wang Xiaojiang and he winked at Shopkeeper Tong.
Shopkeeper Tong understood and spoke.
"Sister, if you really want to thank me, why don't you do me a favor..."
"What favor do you need? Please tell me, benefactor..."
"I think this young man is good. My Yunlai Restaurant is in need of a waiter now, but I haven't found a suitable one. Why not let him come to my Yunlai Restaurant to work as a waiter? This will solve my urgent need..."
Hearing what Shopkeeper Tong said, Wang Xiaojiang's eyes lit up, and when Mother Wang heard what Shopkeeper Tong said, she hurriedly pulled the siblings to kneel before Shopkeeper Tong. This wasn't asking for help, this was another chance for their family...
When Mrs. Huang heard what Shopkeeper Tong said, her eyes were filled with jealousy. She thought to herself, this kid is really lucky.
Manager Tong made an appointment with Wang Xiaojiang and asked him to meet him at Yunlai Restaurant tomorrow, then he left with Han Yiyi and others.
Only when they were halfway there did they realize that Nangong Yuan was missing.
