After separating from my mother-in-law, I raised my children, built a house, and filled the granary

Besides, the wages are already quite a lot. In the past few years, Old Mrs. Lin has saved dozens of taels of silver.

"Donger may be tired. Let him rest in the house. I'll go to the kitchen to cook." Jiang Xiaofang said.

Now she no longer shirks her responsibilities when doing work. She can't just push the responsibility onto her mother-in-law.

Unless her skin is itchy.

Old Mrs. Lin took the purse back to the house, closed the door, took out a small jar, opened the lid, and found it was full of silver.

Old Mrs. Lin looked out the window, then at the closed door, and took out the porcelain jar.

He counted the silver in it, and then put the large pieces of silver in the bag, leaving only some small change in the bag.

After doing all this, Mrs. Lin stood up contentedly and went straight to the kitchen.

"Oh, you damn it..." Then he thought, Jiang Xiaofang is Dong'er's biological mother, Dong'er is coming home today, so it's better not to bother with her.

Old Mrs. Lin snatched the knife from Jiang Xiaofang's hand.

If you don’t come soon, Jiang Xiaofang will eat all the bacon raw.

Jiang Xiaofang didn't argue with Old Mrs. Lin. She licked her lips, smacked her lips, and squatted under the stove to light the fire.

She didn't want to eat it secretly, but the bacon was so fragrant that she couldn't help but taste it while cutting it. Once she tasted it, she couldn't stop.

Old Mrs. Lin stopped cutting. She wanted to cut half and leave the other half, but Jiang Xiaofang had eaten so many pieces.

Besides, Dong'er is probably in a bad mood today, so it's better to cook more meat.

Old Mrs. Lin gave Jiang Xiaofang a fierce look, and Jiang Xiaofang shrank her neck.

Watching Old Lady Lin cutting the meat, Jiang Xiaofang couldn't help swallowing.

It seems that she can eat a lot of meat today.

In fact, every time Lin Xiangdong returned home, it was just to get his wages and then see the satisfied and flattering expressions on the faces of the elders at home.

He enjoyed the feeling of being looked up to, even though it was just his family.

But it also shows that he has an important position in this family.

As the head of Kelian, he has no shortage of meat to eat.

But every time he saw his family prepare a sumptuous meal for him, he felt very satisfied.

But Mrs. Lin’s cooking skills were really limited, and most of the meat dishes went into Jiang Xiaofang’s stomach.

Jiang Xiaofang, who was stoking the fire, lit up at the thought of eating so much meat.

The food at home was getting better and better, and her face became rosy and rosy. She said she was a lucky person to have raised such a good son.

If she doesn't enjoy happiness, who else can?

Put the bacon into the pot, and add the green pepper after the meat is cooked.

Then I fried some dried radish and eggs.

Finally, stir-fry some vegetables.

Bring a pot of white rice to the table and a hearty lunch is ready.

"Dong'er, it's time for dinner." Old Mrs. Lin knocked on Lin Xiangdong's door.

Stand aside and wait.

After a moment, the door opened.

"Grandma, thank you for your hard work." After hearing Lin Xiangdong's words, Grandma Lin didn't react for a moment.

Lin Xiangdong also realized that he had treated the waiters the same way he did at Kelian.

He shook his head and walked towards the hall.

There was no relaxation as before. Under Lin Xiangdong's suppressed mood, the atmosphere at the dinner table was a bit stiff.

Lin Xiangdong ate quietly, picking up dishes casually.

Seeing that Lin Xiangdong had almost finished eating, Old Man Lin put down his chopsticks. Although he was not full yet, he had to talk to Lin Xiangdong about what had happened.

"Donger, is Ke Lai'an's work not going as planned?"

Jiang Xiaofang, holding a piece of bacon, listened to Grandpa Lin talking to Dong'er, and quickly stuffed the last piece of bacon into her mouth, which made Grandma Lin glare at her fiercely.

But Old Mrs. Lin didn't say anything. Everyone else at the table put down their bowls and chopsticks and turned their eyes to Lin Xiangdong.

Lin Xiangdong put down the bowl, sighed, and looked up at his family who looked worried.

"Kelian has been in a bad state in the past few months. Although monthly wages are paid on time, the bonuses are a bit less."

"I think it's not a small amount. It's just a little less this time, but it's already much more than what the managers of other shops in town get." Old Mrs. Lin interrupted Lin Xiangdong. She thought Lin Xiangdong was unhappy because he had less money this month.

Others thought so too. The money was already a lot, and they had never heard of the bonus before, nor had the clerks and managers in other shops.

This was Shen Yunwan's suggestion. At first, I thought she was a liar. How could a shopkeeper give out extra bonuses after paying wages?

But three months later, Shen Yunwan really gave everyone a bonus, and it was a considerable sum of money.

This is so exciting.

For more than two years, Shen Yunwan has distributed bonuses every three months.

The guys got used to the bonus days and thought it was the same as wages and had to be paid.

"If Kelian's revenue doesn't increase in the future, this bonus may be cancelled."

Old Mrs. Lin calculated that even if the bonus was cancelled, as long as the wages could be paid, it would be fine. This was already the highest wage in town.

"Just cancel it. It's fine as long as the wages are paid on time." Old Mrs. Lin had a simple idea. The shop was run by the crops grown in the fields.

There are always good years and bad years. In good years, we harvest more food and store it.

The stored food can be used to supplement the harvest in years of famine.

It is impossible for there to be bumper harvests all the time, so it is difficult for the store to always be so good, which is normal.

The other members of the Lin family also agreed with what Old Lady Lin said. The monthly salary was already quite a lot, and everyone knew what had happened to Shen Yunwan some time ago.

It is normal for the store's revenue to slow down.

Lin Xiangdong looked at them, feeling helpless and amused. "Do I have to beg for food behind a woman for the rest of my life?"

"There's nothing wrong with working behind Yun Wan..." Jiang Xiaofang couldn't help but mutter, but after being glanced at by Lin Xiangdong, she swallowed the rest of her words.

But she really thought so in her heart. Three years ago, her son was just a slave in Mr. Meng's family, no different from someone who was sold to a wealthy family as a slave.

The monthly allowance was much lower than it is now.

At that time, he was very happy with his job and his family was also very satisfied with his job.

After working for Shen Yunwan, he not only took home more and more money.

Moreover, the work he did was much more respectable than that in the wealthy man's house, and he was promoted from a slave to the head of the family.

Not only did the villagers regard him as a big shot, but even the people in the town knew Lin Xiangdong.

With such a good job, what else could you be dissatisfied with?

How could you get such a high status by following other shop owners?

Jiang Xiaofang really couldn't understand what her eldest son was thinking.

In her eyes, it was only because of the smoke rising from the Lin family’s ancestral tomb that she could have such a good job.

But it was obvious that her son didn't think so.

It is easy to go from frugality to extravagance. From a poor boy to being in charge, people can quickly adapt. After a long time, they feel that they are born to be in charge.

But he never thought that without Ke Lai'an, he would be nothing.

Of course, he would not think of these things, and even if he did, he would not admit it.

Too many people flatter him, thinking they are different.

Otherwise, why would the Du family in the county town seek cooperation with him? It is because they are impressed by his abilities.
