Chapter 108 - Chapter 108: Hiring Wang Hong
The people at the ranch did not expect Song Yao to speak so quickly.
They immediately agreed and even thanked Wang Hong verbally. Wang Hong’s face heated up when she heard that. She was just a messenger. Why would she need any gratitude?
It could be said that ever since she got laid off, Wang Hong had long lost her usual arrogance. Even Song Yao was not used to it.
“Aunt, I actually came here today not only for the milk, but also to ask for your help.”
Wang Hong was shocked. She knew that these two bags of wheat milk essence were not free!
She said, “Tell me what it is.”
Song Yao said, “Aunt, you know that I’m going to enter the city for the exam In a rew aays. 1 aon’t nave anyone sultame to nelP me recora tne accounts in my shop for a while. I want to hire you to help me record the accounts.”
“What did you say? You want me to go over and record the accounts?” Wasn’t she offering a job just when she needed it? She came at the right time!
Wang Hong was happy, but she did not agree immediately.
She had not told anyone about her dismissal. Only her Old Liu knew. How did Song Yao know? Could it be that her Old Liu had gossiped outside?
Wang Hong sneered. “You are asking me to leave my cradle-to-grave job in the factory to go and be your accountant?”
Knowing that Wang Hong was egoistic, Song Yao smiled and said, “I came to discuss it with you. Aunt, how much is your monthly salary in the factory?
Wang Hong frowned. “20 yuan…”
Song Yao smiled. “How about this? I’ll give you 25 yuan. You can rest one day a week and eat with us. I’ll give everyone gifts every New Year and festival. What do you think?”
25 yuan? Wang Hong’s eyes lit up. “Are you serious?”
“Of course it’s true,” Song Yao said. “You know the relationship between my father and Uncle Liu. My family lives nearby. How can I run away?”
Hearing this, Wang Hong’s heart lit up. “Then I’ll prepare to resign. I’ll be on duty the day after tomorrow.”
Song Yao smiled and didn’t expose Wang Hong. “I’ll wait for Aunt to come over!”
After leaving Wang Hong’s place and returning home, Song Yao saw Zuo Huo in the courtyard.
He was wearing a white shirt with two buttons unbuttoned at the collar, looking extremely tempting. Song Xiao, who was beside him, was still wearing a singlet to show off his biceps. It was obvious that he had followed Zuo Huo to learn boxing just now.
“Yao, how is it?”
Song Yao raised her eyebrows at Zuo Huo. “Everything went smoothly!”
Zuo Huo pulled Song Yao into his arms. “I’m sorry, I can’t help you much.”
Song Yao’s heart warmed. “It’s enough as long as you’re by my side!”
At this loving moment, Song Xiao leaned forward. “Sister, I heard from
Mom that the school wants you to make something else delicious?” Song Yao struggled out of Zuo Huo’s arms. “Yes.”
Song Xiao looked mysterious. “Sister, what do you want to do? Instant noodles?”
Song Yao said, “There’s definitely more than instant noodles. We have to prepare pancakes, lunch boxes, dumplings, noodles, and so on.
When the time comes, we’ll let the students choose what they want to
eat. ”
At the mention of this, Song Yao started to have a headache. It seemed like she would not be able to rest well tonight.
Fortunately, Song Xiao and Zuo Huo helped Song Yao at night. Even Aunt Liu did not sleep and stayed up late to accompany Song Yao.
Seeing that her future mother-in-law was doing her best for her, Song Yao felt a little embarrassed. “Aunt Liu, go back and sleep first. My brother and I are here.”
Aunt Liu smiled. “How can you young people be able to cope? It’ll be easier witn me nemmg you work.’
Song Yao felt even more embarrassed. “But you’re old…”
“What’s wrong with that? When I was young, I went overseas to participate in the competition. In order to win an award, I stayed up late. Now that I’m retired, can’t I find something I’m interested in to
Aunt Liu smiled. “And as long as you’re with my Zuo Huo, I’m more at ease than anything else.”
Song Yao quickly glanced at Zuo Huo until he said, “Mom, go back and rest. Are you still worried about Yao and me here?”
“I just can’t stay idle,” Aunt Liu said angrily.
She had been looking for a job so that she could have something to do. In the end, ever since she showed off her culinary skills and Zuo Huo came over, no matter what she did during the day, people would stop her. However, she could not stay idle.
Aunt Liu was busy until midnight. She couldn’t stand Song Yao’s nagging anymore and got off work.
Zuo Huo sighed. “I can’t control my mother…”
Song Yao smiled. “I think Aunt Liu is a good person. Otherwise, how could she give birth to such a good son like you?”
Zuo Huo frowned. “Yao, actually, my biological mother passed away a long time ago..”
