Courtyard House: Starting in a Ceramics Factory

Chapter 86 Yi Zhonghai Morally Blackmails Li Feng

After saying a few words to Qin Huairu, Xu Damao left her side, wanting to stay a little longer.

However, Xu Damao knew that his wife was watching him from behind, so he didn't stay any longer and returned to his wife Lou Xiao'e's side.

At this moment, Lou Xiao'e asked Xu Damao.

"Da Mao".

"What were you saying to Qin Huairu just now?"

After hearing Lou Xiao'e's words, Xu Damao casually waved his hand and said...

"What can I say? I just said that if she needs help, she should let me know."

"Sister Qin has two children and is pregnant with another one. Isn't that quite difficult?"

"So I told her directly, if she needs help, she should just let us know."

Lou Xiao'e nodded; she agreed with what Xu Damao said.

Lou Xiao'e also felt sorry for Qin Huairu, because she was so young and her husband had already passed away.

Moreover, she had several children with her; otherwise, Lou Xiao'e wouldn't have given Xu Damao five yuan to deliver.

However, Li Feng overheard the entire conversation between Lou Xiao'e and Xu Damao.

Li Feng felt that Lou Xiao'e was a kind person, just a little naive.

This may be related to her upbringing. Lou Xiao'e was born into a wealthy family and was well protected by her parents, so she was relatively simple-minded.

So Lou Xiao'e didn't even know she had been deceived, because Li Feng knew that Lou Xiao'e hadn't been deceived by just one person.

I was deceived by many people.

Among them were Xu Damao, Shazhu, and the deaf old lady.

However, Li Feng couldn't say anything about this kind of thing, since it was their family matter.

Therefore, Li Feng did not intend to get involved in this matter.

Moreover, if you try to manage things like this yourself, you're more likely to get yourself into trouble.

There's absolutely no need for me to care.

Most importantly, I have no connection with Lou Xiao'e and we're not even acquainted, so why should I help her?

When Li Feng thought of this...

An old man approached Li Feng with a winnowing basket.

Li Feng saw an old man extend a winnowing basket in front of him, so Li Feng took out a dollar from his pocket and prepared to put it in the basket.

An old man saw that Li Feng had only given him one yuan, so he couldn't help but ask Li Feng a question.

"You're only giving me one dollar?"

Li Feng never expected that an old man would ask him this question.

However, he still nodded to the old man and said...

"yes!".

"What's wrong?".

At this moment, an old man asked Li Feng with some curiosity, "But everyone else gets at least two yuan."

Upon hearing this, Li Feng couldn't help but inwardly complain.

This old man is really meddling in other people's business. It's one thing for you to use your own tactics to morally blackmail people into donating money, but now you want to force me to donate a certain amount?
So Li Feng coldly said to the old man.

"how?".

"Can't I just donate one dollar?"

"Who said that donations have to be large?"

At this moment, the commotion at Li Feng's place caught everyone's attention.

At this moment, the residents in the courtyard all turned their attention to Li Feng.

The old man was a little embarrassed by what Li Feng said, but he still tried to persuade Li Feng.

"Look, everyone else is donating two yuan, but you're only donating one yuan. Isn't that a bit inappropriate?"

Li Feng wasn't going to tolerate the old man, so he spoke loudly to everyone.

"Dear neighbors and neighbors."

"I donated one dollar because I myself am having a hard time. As you all probably know, I just found a job."

"And I'm still an apprentice. I gave him two dollars as a condolence gift a couple of days ago. This one dollar is my limit."

"If there are any more, I won't even have anything to eat."

Li Feng sighed as he finished speaking. His words quickly garnered everyone's sympathy.

At this moment, quite a few people spoke to the old man.

"Uncle, Li Feng donated one yuan, that's more than enough."

"yes!".

"If I only donate two yuan, wouldn't that be putting people in a difficult position?"

"That's not right."

"Li Feng is still a new employee and not well-off."

At this moment, Li Feng looked at the old man and then said to him.

"Uncle, I'm having trouble even getting food right now. Could you pay for this for me?"

"Everyone knows you're an eighth-grade fitter; your salary is definitely more than mine, a mere apprentice."

The old man was surprised by Li Feng's eloquence, and after his embellishment, many people sided with Li Feng. However, the old man did not want to spend more money, so he immediately took the one yuan from Li Feng's hand and praised him.

"Donating one yuan is your way of showing your appreciation, and I don't think anyone will say anything about it."

After the old man finished speaking, he quickly went to collect money from other places.

Li Feng watched as the old man walked away from him.

Li Feng couldn't help but purse his lips.

What the hell? You want to be a good person and you want me to donate two yuan? What are you thinking?

I'm already doing very well if I can donate even one dollar.

At this time, most of the people in the courtyard did not know how much Li Feng's salary was.

After all, there were relatively few people working in the ceramics industry in this era, let alone in Beijing.

As long as Li Feng doesn't mention his salary.

Most of them didn't know how much Li Feng earned, and since Li Feng was still young, even if he went to work in the factory, he would definitely be paid as an apprentice.

Li Feng just emphasized that he is only an apprentice.

Moreover, Li Feng would not publicize his promotion to a permanent position at the ceramics factory.

But even if they know they've been promoted, it's fine.

After all, in ceramic factories, you mainly receive performance-based pay, and usually only the finance department knows how much your salary is.

Even your colleagues don't really know how much you earn.

However, if you really want to know, it's easy.

Just keep an eye on how much work that person has done.

Then you can basically get some general information.

For people who have never had any contact with these individuals, they certainly wouldn't know how much they earn.

If the people in the hospital knew that they had earned more than thirty yuan this month, they certainly wouldn't say that.

After all, Li Feng also knew that most people didn't want him to be better off than them.

If they knew they would be earning around fifty, sixty, or even seventy next month, they might even ask for more.

Sometimes people are just that realistic.

However, Li Feng didn't know how much money he would receive this month.

Currently, my salary after becoming a full-time employee is 32.

Before joining the new color group, Li Feng painted six cups and then four porcelain slabs. As for the large porcelain slab he is currently painting, Li Feng doesn't know if it counts as money.

If we remove this large porcelain slab...

A cup costs 80 cents, so the cup costs 4.8 yuan. A porcelain plate costs 2 yuan, which means the porcelain plate costs 8 yuan.

Excluding the large ceramic tile, I've already earned 44.8 yuan this month.

Because the basic salary of 32 is almost never deducted.

Unless you skip work.

If these people knew that I was so young and had earned over forty in less than half a month, they would be so envious.

But if you're a senior technician, then no one will be jealous.

Although there will still be some people who are jealous, there will be fewer of them.

Therefore, Li Feng would never reveal how much his salary was.
