Make a Fortune and Become Well-off [90] - Chapter 12

Mother Jiang had nothing to say about the fact that Jiang Ning was driven back to wash and cook by Father Jiang after working all morning instead of staying in the fields to work.

Although she still disliked Jiang Ning for being lazy, not washing the clothes clean, not cleaning the cabinets at home, sweeping the dust in the corners, and not watering the vegetables in the field, without the heavy farm work, Jiang Ning was indeed much more relaxed and had more time to review the textbooks for her first year of high school.

Harvest was not the end of busy farming, but just the beginning. The subsequent threshing, plowing, land preparation, rice transplanting, and late rice planting.

By the time everything was done, summer vacation was almost over.

Jiang Ning was about to start school.

She was calmly waiting for school to start, but Mother Jiang was anxious for her to go out to work.

When she had nothing to do, she went around the village to find out who worked in which factory, how much money they could earn in a month, and whether they could take Jiang Ning with them.

She happened to hear that Jiang Yueqin from the Eldest Jiang family was back and brought home 5,000 yuan to build a building on the family’s house.

Recently, the uncles and aunts in the village had been talking about her.

“The girl in his family is really worth raising. She could make money to build a big house for the family.”

“I heard she brought back another five thousand yuan.”

“We are all human beings. Why do you think she is so good at making money?”

“In just a few years, she had earned enough for a large house.”

It was said that it was a large building, but in fact, the buildings of this era were very simple and crude.

But no matter how simple and crude it was, it was still a building.

“Which restaurant gives so much money to a waitress?”

“I heard that a waitress in a hotel in town only earns a few dozen yuan a month. She has only been out for half a year. How come she brought back so much money? She doesn’t have to work now. Why is she back?”

“She works in a big hotel in the main city, can it be the same as a small restaurant in a town?”

“I heard that their business is good and they are hiring again. She asked the boss for leave and came back to take more people to work there.”

The aunt in the village actively said, “You can make a lot of money by being a waitress. Do you think it’s okay for me to go? Who doesn’t know that I’m quick at work? No, I’m going to tell Yueqin if I can do it. I’ll bring our Xiangqin with me next year. ” 

With that said, she quickly ran to Jiang Yueqin’s house.

Several other aunts, for whatever reason, even if they just wanted to watch the fun, they all followed her.

Mother Jiang was naturally not lagging behind either.

The harvest season had passed, and she had almost harvested rapeseed and beans these days. There was still some work left in the fields, which could be left to Grandpa Jiang. If it was really so profitable, she could go too.

Jiang Yueqin was dumbfounded when she saw so many aunts coming to her home wanting to work with her.

She stood on the bed and loudly interrupted the aunts surrounding her, “What our boss wants are young girls.”

“Why can the waitresses only be young girls?” When they heard that they only wanted young girls, the aunts were not happy. 

“Those girls are not as good as us. I guarantee that I can do the job for two of them.”

“That’s right, I can harvest five acres of land by myself.”

Mother Jiang also said, “Yueqin, talk to the boss over there. We can do what a young girl can’t do.”

Jiang Yueqin said anxiously, “We are a high-end hotel. How can that be the same?” She curled her lips, “Aunts work as dishwashers there.”

“Then I can wash the dishes. I’m good at washing the dishes and I’ll make sure they’re clean for you. I also have loofah bags at home. I can even bring some loofah bags to your boss.”

“I have one at home too.”

“I have one at home too.”

“I’ll give it away for free.”

Jiang Yueqin was surrounded by a group of aunts and could only shout loudly, “No dishwashers, we have no shortage of dishwashers.” Jiang Yueqin found it difficult to communicate with the aunts. “We only need waitresses, young ones.”

After confirming that only the young ones were needed, the aunts had no choice but to leave with regret.

Most of their daughters were taken to work in garment factories by their roommate elders right after they graduated from elementary school, and they wouldn’t come back until the end of the year. There were no young girls around.

Oh, there were three young girls, Jiang Ning from the big man’s family, Jiang Hehua from the brigade secretary’s family, and Jiang Qinqin from the second Jiang brother’s family.

But of these three, Jiang Ning’s father wanted her to go to college. Hehua, from the secretary’s family, was even less likely to be a waitress. Qinqin of the Second Jiang brother’s family was born when her mother was nearly fifty. Therefore, it was impossible for them to send her away

Of course, Jiang Yueqin understood that she couldn’t take away Hehua and Qinqin, and her target at the time was Jiang Ning.

Jiang Yueqin said to Mother Jiang, “Second Aunt, I remember Ning Ning graduated from junior high school, right?”

Mother Jiang was about to let her daughter work. When she heard that, she nodded quickly, “Yes, she is already fifteen. I am worried about who could take her to the factory.”

“In a factory, you work so hard but you can earn just a few bucks a month. As a waiter, you can earn two hundred a month. She graduated from junior high school. If she gets promoted to a higher level and becomes a foreman, she will earn so much.”

“You can still get hundreds if you work as a waitress.”

Jiang Yueqin smiled and said, “Then if you become a foreman or a manager, and you are in charge of dozens of people, your salary will, of course, be higher than that of a waitress. There will be more customers, and the boss will earn more, so you will have commissions and bonuses. Otherwise, why would they want a young girl to be a waitress? Of course, it is to attract customers.”

She picked her hands nervously.

When Mother Jiang heard it, she realized it was true.

Mother Jiang had gone out to work with Father Jiang, working on construction sites.
