I became a cannon fodder and watched the drama in the period novels.

Chapter 83 Er Gou
"I know about this. I'll go back to the compound after school tomorrow and tell my parents. It's best if we tell Yueru before she does. Don't worry about it, just leave it to me." After Song Qingfei finished speaking to Shen Feifei, he talked about another matter: "Today I'll ask Aunt Li for help and ask her to introduce someone who can work. We won't have to do housework in the future. You're already tired enough after working outside all day. If you go home and work again, you'll be exhausted."

As he said this, he took Shen Feifei's hand and said, "You had such a hard time in the first ten years of your life. I hope your life will be sweet in the future. Aunt Li introduced a woman in her forties. She looks clean and speaks generously. She seems good. I asked her to come to my house twice a week to help with the laundry and cleaning. Let her work for a month first, and you can see how she does. If she is suitable, she can stay."

Shen Feifei was very touched after hearing this. Song Qingfei was very caring. In fact, even if he didn't say it, she would have to find someone to do the housework. But since he brought it up, it saved her trouble.

Shen Feifei was moved and kissed Song Qingfei again, then hugged him and asked, "How much does she want?"

"It's calculated by the number of times. Five dollars per time, ten dollars twice a week, and forty dollars a month. Don't think it's too expensive. Every time she comes, she has to clean the house inside and out, and do the laundry and clean the yard. She has to do all of them." After listening to what Song Qingfei said, Shen Feifei had no objection at all.

Listening to the birds singing outside the window in the early morning, Shen Feifei went to the cloakroom, picked out a brown sweater dress, put on a brown coat, and finally put on her newly bought leather boots and went out.

When she arrived at the photo studio, she saw the time. It was half past eight, apparently they had just opened. She looked at the wedding photo of herself and Song Qingfei hanging in the window of the photo studio and nodded with satisfaction.

When she walked into the store, the owner of the photo studio saw her and said hurriedly, "Oh, you're finally here. I was wondering why the person disappeared after the photo was taken." As he said that, he took out the wedding photos taken for them from the cabinet, and also took out two specially developed photos put in photo frames, and handed them to Shen Feifei.

Shen Feifei took the photo and thanked him. Since they had agreed not to charge any money, Shen Feifei did not pay and greeted the boss, "How is business recently?"

"Thanks to you, business has been good recently. Several people have come to me to take wedding photos for them, and a few couples want to take the photos outside like you did." The boss happily talked to Shen Feifei about recent business. Seeing that another person came, Shen Feifei said goodbye and left.

Arriving at the store, it was exactly nine o'clock. Seeing Yuan Jingwan already waiting at the door of the store, Shen Feifei greeted her, "Good morning, Sister Yuan."

"Good morning, boss. Are those wedding photos in your hand? They are really nice photos. You and your husband both look good." Listening to Sister Yuan's praise, Shen Feifei smiled and said modestly, then said, "Sister Yuan, you don't have to call me boss. This business is run by several people in partnership. You can just call me Feifei."

As soon as the store opened, Song Qingfei brought people over. He took a special leave this morning and brought two little girls over. Shen Feifei saw that the two girls were dressed very neatly and asked their names. The older sister was Xia Ying and the younger sister was Xia Qin.

The two sisters washed their hands and went to knead the dough according to Shen Feifei's instructions.

Shen Feifei happened to show Song Qingfei the photos she brought back from the photo studio. Song Qingfei was very satisfied with the photos. He specially picked one and said he would take it with him. Seeing that it was getting late, he hurried back to school.

Shen Feifei didn't do much today. Most of the work was done by the two sisters. Shen Feifei first painted a big picture for them and asked them to learn the skills from her. If they did a good job, she would hand over the store to them for management.

Although it was just a pipe dream, it was indeed achievable. Shen Feifei thought that if the business was good, she would open a branch. Since these two people performed well, she would let them be store managers.

After drawing the cake, they started talking about wages. They were paid as apprentices, so not only could they work here but they could also learn skills from Shen Feifei. Although many people in later generations could learn how to make cakes by watching videos, it was not something that could be learned in this era.

They are now working as assistants, with a monthly salary of 25 yuan. If they do a good job, their salary will increase later. If a branch is opened in the future and they become store managers, they will not only have a basic salary but also commissions and be paid more based on the store's sales.

The two of them were so excited when they heard this. They knew they were here to be apprentices. The salary of an apprentice was not very high and the work was tiring. They thought they would only get about ten yuan each, but they didn't expect the boss to pay them twenty-five yuan a month and even said they would get more money if they did a good job. The two of them were now full of energy. After the cake was made, Shen Feifei spread the cream on it, decorated it with flowers and painted patterns, added some fruits, and pushed it out, waiting for business to come.

Soon, a child came over with a few of his friends. The children discussed the matter for a while, bought two small cakes, and shared them among themselves.

Later, more people came to buy cakes and clothes. People nearby knew that a very unique cake shop had opened here. The cakes there were delicious, and the clothes sold there were beautiful. Everything was good, except that the prices were a bit high.

A woman came to Shen Feifei to order a birthday cake and said she would pick it up the next day. Shen Feifei noted the time and requirements, and after receiving the deposit, she began to think about what kind of cake to make.

It was soon evening after a busy day. Shen Feifei and the others were preparing to close the store. Shen Yueru came over at this time. She had red eyes and was followed by a young man. That young man was Ergou.

Shen Feifei asked everyone else in the store to leave first, and she let Shen Feifei and Ergou enter the store.

Shen Feifei closed the door, asked the two to sit down, and asked Ergou: "Why are you here?"

"Sister, I came here specifically to find you and my elder sister." Ergou said in a muffled voice.

Shen Yueru looked at Shen Feifei with red eyes: "Is what he said true? I am not my parents' biological daughter?" Looking at Shen Yueru's red eyes, although the tone was stiff, Shen Feifei saw the panic and fear in her eyes.

Shen Feifei didn't know what to say, so she took the two of them back to the compound.

As soon as he entered the room, he saw Song Qingfei. Song Qingfei saw Shen Yueru and the young man behind Shen Feifei, and he knew what was going on. He asked everyone to come in and sit down, and he took Shen Feifei's hand and sat aside.

For a moment, the room was silent.

Shen Feifei first took Ergou to her room, and let Shen Yueru, Chief Shen and Duran talk alone.

She asked Ergou: "How are you now?"

"Sister, I'm not cut out for study, and I didn't use the money you left for me to go on to study. I'm working now, and I didn't want to come to see you. It was my parents who let you down back then, and they deserve it. I don't blame you. But Dad is sick, so I had no choice but to come here to look for him. I know my dear sister is rich, and I want her to pay for Dad's treatment." As he spoke, Ergou started to cry.

Shen Feifei knew that what he said was true. She had already seen the words on Ergou's head. It was Shen Xiuxiu who told him that Ergou could come here.
