Gu Fei said without hesitation: “No.”
“I’m looking for a helper, not trouble. With your mother’s personality, I wish I wouldn’t ever deal with her in my life.”
Xing’er looked a little embarrassed, and Gu Fei said: “Since you don’t want to get married and want to go your own way, you have to fight for it yourself. You can’t wait for others to arrange everything for you.”
“Heaven helps those who help themselves.”
Xing’er’s face changed a little: “Okay, I’ll tell my mother.”
Gu Fei looked at her and said lightly: “Since you want to work for me, then you should do whatever I say in the store. Don’t take advantage of the fact that you are my cousin. If you just want to take refuge in my store, I advise you to give up the idea as soon as possible. ”
“Also, remember to tell your mother clearly that if she goes to the store to make trouble once, you don’t have to go again.”
Xing’er looked at Gu Fei in a daze. As expected, she was a wolf killer. She was a little scared by her aura. After a long while, she nodded: “Okay.”
She turned and walked out, walking faster and faster, and her back became straighter and straighter.
Mrs. Chen sighed and was about to say something when her aunt brought Tie Niu in again, saying that she wanted Tie Niu to work as a waiter in the store. Tie Niu was sixteen years old, tall, strong, and could drive a carriage. Gu Fei thought he could be used and agreed.
The next day, Gu Fei hired a cook.
The cook was a woman in her thirties.
Gu Fei tried her cooking skills at noon, and they were quite good. Moreover, the woman had great strength in her hands. She seemed to have no difficulty in flipping such a heavy iron pot. It was obvious that she had practiced since she was a child.
Gu Fei called her Sister Hua and agreed to pay her two taels of silver a month.
Sister Hua also introduced a woman surnamed Chen who washed clothes next door. Gu Fei met her and found that Sister Chen was elegant and tidy.
Then she hired two young servants, both of whom looked strong.
A few days later, Mrs. Qian and Gu Zhong came with Xing’er.
Mrs. Qian seemed to have received Gu Zhong’s instructions at home, and she smiled apologetically as soon as she entered the door.
“Oh, I haven’t seen you for a few days. Xiao Fei is beautiful again.”
Gu Fei forced a smile: “It’s rare for my aunt to come here.”
She greeted Gu Zhong and said: “Uncle, please sit down.”
Gu Zhong sat down. At first, he was still a little reluctant to let go of his elders’ airs. Seeing that Gu Fei was just sitting there and didn’t speak, he had to take the initiative: “Well, Xiao Fei, I’m here to ask you for something today.”
Gu Fei nodded: “Tell me, I’m listening.”
“Xing’er is a stubborn girl now, and she doesn’t want to get married. I thought, if that’s the case, why not let her go to your shop to help, she can earn some money, and it can be used as a dowry in the future. ”
Gu Fei smiled and nodded: “That’s fine, Xing’er is my cousin after all, I will naturally help if I can.”
“I’m not worried about anything else, but if my aunt goes to the shop to find Xing’er for no reason, then-”
Gu Zhong hurriedly said: “No, no, Xiao Fei, don’t worry, if she dares to go, I will break her legs.”
Mrs. Qian’s lips twitched.
Gu Fei smiled and said, “Okay, then Xing’er will go to my shop to try, as for what to do, we will arrange it when the time comes, maybe as a helper in the back kitchen, or maybe as a waiter.”
“The salary is 400 copper coins a month, food is provided, but accommodation is not provided.”
Mrs. Qian immediately screamed when she heard it: “Why is it only 400 copper coins? Aren’t Aunt Liu and Tie Niu both earn 500 copper coins?!”
