cook maid concubine

Chapter 23 each with their own minds

After the other party walked away, He Xiaoxiao couldn't help but tugged on the sleeve of the red thread, and asked in a low voice, "Why didn't you sign the contract just now? Five taels of silver a month, that's a monthly rule only for restaurant chefs?"

Before the words fell, Zou Biyue who was on the side sneered coldly: "You think everyone is like you, willing to be a little cook for the rest of your life. But it's true, five taels of silver a month is indeed a lot for you I'm afraid your family won't be able to earn so much money all year round, right?"

He Xiaoxiao blushed immediately, bit her lower lip, but couldn't find a voice to refute.

Qian Hongxian cast a sideways glance at Zou Biyue. From the very beginning, she felt that the other party did not appear to be applying for a job as a cook. Now she felt that there was something wrong with her.Thinking that the other party should have another purpose just like myself.As for what the other party is going to do, she doesn't care and doesn't want to. As long as everyone doesn't interfere with each other in the future, she is too lazy to bother with the other party.

But if she secretly trips her up like today, she won't be easy to deal with.

Holding He Xiaoxiao's hand, Qian Hongxian said: "I know that five taels of silver is really a lot for a family like us. But don't forget, the owner of this house is no better than others, and he is from the capital city." Yes, who knows when I will be going back to the capital? There is a clause in the contract just now that during the period of being the cook of Ji’s mansion, she must completely obey the arrangement of the master’s family, otherwise she will have to pay double the money she earned before. What can we do if we go to the capital together? Three or two years is enough, if you really want you to not see your parents for ten years, are you willing? Or can you afford double the compensation?"

"I……"

He Xiaoxiao's face suddenly turned pale.

Since her father's hand was injured, she has become increasingly depressed. She only knows how to drink and get drunk all day long. The siblings in the family are still young, and the family is supported by her mother alone. If she really wants to let herself go to the capital, can she rest assured that she will leave the family behind? ?
It is impossible to think from.

Although she didn't know the exact amount of the double amount of money, she knew that it was definitely not something she could afford.

When her father used to be a cook in a restaurant, their family's conditions were not bad. She also learned a few words with his father and could write her own name, but she was not able to understand such complicated things as the contract. Knowing that being a cook here can earn five taels of silver a month, it is quite a lot of income for people from poor families like them.It was her father who was a cook in a restaurant back then, and the monthly money was only three taels of silver, as for the other things, he didn't think so much at all.At this moment, after listening to Qian Hongxian's analysis, Fang felt that it was very reasonable.

At this time, He Xiaoxiao couldn't help but feel extremely thankful that he didn't directly agree to it just now.

However, after rejoicing, He Xiaoxiao couldn't help asking again: "You said, will the young master really let us go to the capital together?"

Qian Hongxian said honestly: "I don't know, I'm just guessing. After all, the young master's family is in the capital, so it's impossible to live here all the time. Once he leaves, what does Ji's mansion need so many cooks?"

"That's right!" At this moment, He Xiaoxiao was completely convinced by what Qian Hongxian said.

And I have to say that Qian Hongxian was really predictable. In fact, after half a year, the few of them were indeed taken to the capital by Ji Nanjin.

Of course, this is something.
