Transmigrated into the fat wife of the future prime minister

Chapter 126 Monthly Income
After listening to Xu Qingmeng's words, Gu Yunyi's eyes flickered slightly.

He clearly remembered telling Zhou Yuanjia that he was away from home today. Could it be that he had forgotten?

However, he seems to be coming a bit too frequently lately? But there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with it.

Gu Yunyi shared his thoughts, but still subtly asked a few questions about Zhou Yuanjia during the meal.

Xu Qingmeng didn't have much contact with him. Because of her pregnancy, she stayed indoors except for necessary reasons, so she naturally didn't know anything about him.

Madam He knew Zhou Yuanjia's thoughts and the Zhou family's plans, but since Zhou Yuanjia hadn't said anything and neither family had revealed it, Madam He naturally pretended to be ignorant.

Ms. He thought that she should let nature take its course, and since Xinting was still young, she would pretend that she knew nothing.

Xinting hadn't even considered that possibility, so in the end, Gu Yunyi's question was essentially pointless.

At the end of the month, the weather became even hotter, and Jinxiufang paid out wages for the first time.

Xu Qingmeng and Manager Yang calculated the money the shop had earned. Jinxiuxuan's daily sales were always in high demand, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that its flavor was popular throughout Quanxian County.

Not to mention the pastry gift boxes, which even spread to the prefectural city. Almost every wealthy family with some money became a member of Jinxiuxuan, and some people even gave Jinxiuxuan membership cards instead of pastries.

Moreover, even when the rumors surrounding the Gu family were rampant and quite serious, their sales revenue did not decline.

Therefore, Xu Qingmeng was not surprised at all when she saw the silver in the account.

Manager Yang was quite pleased: "Master, when I was managing the estate for Madam, the output for that year was still less than what Jinxiuxuan earns in just one month. I really admire your skills. At this rate, in a few more months, we could open a shop in the prefectural city without any problem."

Xu Qingmeng smiled and said, "Right now, we can only think about it. The important thing is to calculate this and pay everyone's wages first."

Whether it's the kitchen staff, the front-of-house packers and sellers, or the beverage vendors, everyone is incredibly busy every day. After working so hard for so long, seeing money is what motivates them even more.

"Don't worry, boss, I've already made all the preparations."

It was agreed that everyone's wages at Jinxiuxuan would be linked to the number of pastries and drinks sold each day. The waiters and anyone who promoted a membership would also receive a commission. The kitchen staff would be at a slight disadvantage in this regard, but Xu Qingmeng also said that everyone could participate. So even though they were in the kitchen, they all worked hard to promote the pastries after they returned home.

Therefore, even though there are slight differences in wages, the overall difference is not significant, and it is much more than what others earn working outside or doing odd jobs.

Manager Yang was intentionally trying to motivate everyone, so when it came time to pay wages, everyone did it together.

Everyone was overjoyed when they saw the money they had received.

Since Jinxiuxuan was paying wages today, Xu Qingmeng also told everyone to close the shop early so they could go back and rest after working so hard for so long.

Before it even got dark, the doors of Jinxiuxuan were already closed.

Jinxiuxuan's business is getting better and better. The Suxiangge across the street has changed chefs and Zhong Xin has joined the business, which has also reversed the previous decline. Although it can't be said to be bustling with customers, some of them have stayed because of the cheap prices and the fact that the taste has indeed improved a lot.

Xu Qingmeng has never been the type to cut off someone's livelihood. Although she didn't know who was behind Suxiang Pavilion, Xu Qingmeng guessed that they must be from the capital. Moreover, they chose to open a store opposite Jinxiuxuan, firstly to keep a closer eye on the Gu family, and secondly to cause some trouble for Jinxiuxuan.

Although it is a potential threat, we do not have the strength to deal with it at present. Since the other party has already survived, we do not know their plans yet. However, for the time being, we should not worry too much about it.

But having guessed what was behind it, although she didn't know exactly who it was, it was definitely related to He's identity. Perhaps she was being petty, but by July, there was still no movement from the other side.

Starting in early July, Gu Yunyi almost stayed at home and didn't go out much. Because he was going to take the provincial examination in August, he started studying at home every day.

Xu Qingmeng is now four months pregnant, and because of the pregnancy, her belly is starting to swell. The weather is also getting hotter and hotter, and Xu Qingmeng is afraid of the heat, so she stays at home all day and avoids going out as much as possible.

Therefore, Madam He specifically instructed her two children not to make too much noise at home, so as not to disturb Gu Yunyi and Xu Qingmeng.

That day, Shen Jinwen took Rongrong to the Gu family restaurant again and gave her a basket of washed lotus roots.

"Oh dear, Mr. Shen, what happened to your face?" Mrs. He asked in surprise as soon as she saw him.

Shen Jinwen had several scratches on his right cheek, which looked like cat scratches.

Xu Qingmeng also came out at that moment. She glanced at Shen Jinwen and felt that they looked like a couple arguing.

The next second, before Shen Jinwen could speak, Rongrong couldn't stop herself from talking. She looked up at Madam He and said, "Grandma He, this is what my mother scratched."

Xu Qingmeng: As expected.

Madam He was taken aback for a moment, then looked at Shen Jinwen and asked, "What's wrong? Did you two have a fight?"

In the eyes of the Gu family, Shen Jinwen was a very doting husband. Madam Shen usually stayed at home and rarely went out, but judging from Rongrong's upbringing, they knew she had a good nature.

Xu Qingmeng had never met anyone, but Madam He had visited the Shen family two or three times. She spoke softly to Madam He and was a very gentle person.

Shen Jinwen was also quite troubled and didn't really want to go back. He sat on a small stool in the Gu family's courtyard and started to speak.

"Well, my wife wasn't like this before. She was very gentle and spoke softly. But now that she's pregnant, I don't know what's wrong, her temper has gotten worse. She gets angry at the slightest thing. I can't afford to mess with her."

As she spoke, she glanced at Xu Qingmeng and continued, "I don't know what's wrong? But Madam Gu is also pregnant, and she doesn't seem to be any different."

Xu Qingmeng frowned as if she had thought of something.

The book seems to mention Shen Jinwen later on, since he eventually became close friends with Gu Yunyi and was Gu Yunyi's savior.

Although it was only a few lines, she remembered that Shen Jinwen was alone with a child in the back. His wife seemed to have jumped into the river with the child when she was pregnant.
