157 Come and Help Me

Even though Shuanzi said that he was not in a hurry to get married, how could he not be? Many in the village who were the same age as him had already become fathers.

Wang Erya did not say anything.

She was also clear about the situation at home. She couldn’t bear to see her mother so worried, so she wanted to harvest the black locust thorns.

She didn’t expect to get injured and even made her mother spend 5 taels.

Thinking of this, Wang Erya felt even sadder.

Her tears flowed out.

“Why are you crying? Does it hurt again?” Seeing that Wang Erya was crying, Aunt Wang quickly checked her injuries.

“No…I’m fine,” Wang Erya said hurriedly.

She couldn’t stop her tears.

Her father and big brother worked so hard in town, and they only earned about 200 wen a day. She had spent 5 taels on a trip to the clinic. She had let her father and big brother down.

Lin Xiaoyue was worried.

“Black locust thorns are not easy to harvest, and 1 catty is a lot of them since they are light. You better not touch it, ” she said.

“I’m selling cold cakes now and I’m short of manpower. Aunt Wang, if you and Erya don’t mind, come and help me. I’ll give you 80 wen per day. You don’t need to be there all afternoon.”

The business deal with Ruyi Restaurant had been closed, so she should be able to afford it.

It was not a problem to hire two people.

In addition, she had already planned to involve them in the business. After all, her mother and Li Xiao were not good at it.

Aunt Wang paused.

Previously, when the Liu family was building the house, the four of them were paid to help them.

Every day, except for breakfast, they also ate there.

In more than a month’s time, their family had earned a total of nearly 15 taels of silver. It was the family’s biggest income in recent years.

She used the money to buy some things for her family and even bought two pigs. She had saved about 6 taels of silver.

She knew that the Liu family was trying to help her family.

Otherwise, they wouldn’t have asked Shuanzi to come to work early. That was because when the construction team no longer needed helpers, they would not let Shuanzi and his father stay.

She and her daughter also helped with the cooking and were given such a high salary. Moreover, they worked for more than a month.

Liu Shi and Yue’er always said that they had helped them a lot.

But did they? She had only given them some wild vegetables, cornbread, and the most expensive thing was only a dozen eggs. She had not given them anything particularly valuable.

On the contrary, it was the Liu family who took care of them.

If the Liu family hadn’t hired them, they definitely wouldn’t have been able to earn and save so much silver.

“Yue’er, thank you.” Aunt Wang looked at Lin Xiaoyue with a touched expression.

“However, it’s not that difficult to make the cold cakes. You only need your mother. Besides, Li Xiao and Xiao Qing can help. There’s no need to spend money to hire workers.”

“Also, we just got two piglets. I have to spend time preparing their feed, so I can’t spare so much time to help you.”

They had no pig feed, so they had to harvest ragweed, and it was not easy.

Lin Xiaoyue smiled.

“Aunt, you don’t have to think too much. I’m only asking you and Erya because I really need help.”

“You know my mother. She’s too shy and not suitable to work the stall with me. Li Xiao is even worse than my mother. He always looks so cold. It’s good enough that he didn’t scare the customers away,” Lin Xiaoyue laughed
