The all-round housekeeper is a stick

Chapter 53 It's Cheap

Although Lin Mumu's bowl was not big, she didn't eat fast either.

Lin Yuanyu and Lin Yuanze ate later than her, eating twice as much as she did, and also had a steamed bun. They finished before Lin Mumu finished.

Seeing how fast the two of them ate, Lin Huaiyu couldn't help but complain to her husband, saying that the two children ate too much.

Lin Huaiyu had just eaten her steamed buns and only half of her bowl of noodles. She picked out the eggs and meat and ate them. Lin Yuanyu and Lin Yuanze didn't mind the rest, splitting half each and finishing them off. They also ate quickly.

After they finished eating, they put the bowls down and prepared to go back to the room to lie down for a while.

Lin Mumu stopped the two of them and said, "Wash your own bowls. If you don't, it will be your own fault if you don't have a bowl to eat at night."

"You've collected the money, why don't you wash the dishes?" Lin Yuanyu glared at Lin Mumu in dissatisfaction.

Lin Mumu was not afraid of his glare. She counted the items for which she was paid, and indeed, washing dishes was not one of them.

"Isn't washing dishes and cooking one of the chores?" Lin Yuanze didn't want to wash dishes either. He had never done housework before, not in the country, not in the city.

"Five cents for cooking is already cheap, and you still have to wash the dishes. Let you earn that five cents. I won't hold back on the lunch I cooked for you. I'll consider it a gift. Remember to wash the dishes and cook later."

"It's 5 cents each time. I'll keep track of the number of times. Teacher Lin has already paid me this month, so I'll pay you at the end of the month."

After saying that, Lin Mumu put down the bowl and planned to go back to his room for a nap.

"Mom~" Lin Yuanyu didn't want to wash the dishes, and neither did Lin Yuanze. Besides, they didn't know how to cook, otherwise they wouldn't have asked their mother for money to buy food every day when their mother couldn't cook and their father was not at home.

Seeing that Lin Mumu wanted to dump the cooking and dishwashing chores on them for only five cents a time, the two brothers didn't want to take the job at all. As Lin Mumu said, it was too cheap. Even if they knew how to cook, they wouldn't be willing to do it for such a small amount of money.

Lin Jianhua didn't get enough rest last night, nor did he get enough rest on the train the past two days, so now he just wants to go to sleep.

He felt very impatient when he heard his wife and Lin Mumu nagging about washing dishes.

"Then cook a meal and wash the dishes, ten cents each time."

"That's fine. Teacher Lin needs to give me another 5 yuan. It's 15 yuan a month, and 20 yuan for 10 days."

It wasn't that Lin Mumu was trying to keep the price low to cheapen her own labor. Rather, such a low price made it easier for her to explain herself.

Even though it was only 15 yuan a month, and as a daughter, she was asking for 15 yuan in salary, the aunties would not speak up for her. However, when it was spread over the number of times, it seemed too cheap, especially for clothes.

She knew that there were people who did laundry for others, but it wasn't that cheap.

If Lin Jianhua and Lin Huaiyu make trouble with her about the money next month, with such a low price, she can still play the sympathy card.

Who made her parents want her to be self-reliant, support herself, and do housework?

It is normal for her to need and save some money in order to survive.

Lin Huaiyu was a little unhappy when he heard that she wanted another 5 yuan.

"The first 10 yuan is a deposit for housework, and I'll give you an additional 3 yuan for shopping." Every 2 yuan saved is 2 yuan.

When Lin Jianhua went back to pick up Lin Mumu, the three of them had to buy food from outside for almost all three meals. The two boys had amazing appetites, and they couldn't get full without spending about five yuan per meal.

She spent at least 100 or yuan a day, and within seven or eight days, she had spent all yuan. Adding in the other snacks she bought, the three of them spent a month's salary on food during the few days Lin Jianhua was back.

Lin Huaiyu was also worried about what her husband would say about her. After all, she hadn't cooked for three or four months and needed to eat well. Their food expenses had reached a relatively alarming level.

That's why Lin Huaiyu was unwilling to give even 2 yuan more.

Fortunately, Lin Mumu didn't care whether he got 2 yuan more. After clearing the dishes and cleaning up the kitchen, Lin Mumu went back to his room to sleep for a while.

Although there was nothing in the room, Lin Mumu still closed the door after leaving.

After getting up, Lin Mumu moved all the cabinets in the yard into the house, and put the sheets and quilts in because they were dry.

Only the two black and hard quilts were still drying in the yard.

Lin Mumu went out, found a small stall, asked the prices of the things she wanted to buy, and then asked the price of the lock.

Toothpaste, toothbrush, water cup, towel, washbasin with lock, a notebook and a pen, the cheapest one costs 7 yuan in total.

Lin Mumu wrote down the prices of all these things in the notebook he bought from the system mall.

After finishing the notes, he put the notebook back into the system backpack, spent 5 points to buy a bag of White Rabbit milk candy from the system mall, and went to the scrap station.

Lin Mumu used the melon seeds he had bought before to get close to the old men and women at the scrap yard, and then went to the place where the discarded tires were piled up to look for suitable tires.

She hadn't bought the blueprints for the bicycle yet, but she spent 20 points on a blueprint for a scooter and another 100 points on a tool set. The remaining points weren't enough to buy the blueprints for the bicycle.
