Starting from a short stick, becoming the master of the universe

Chapter 157 If you don’t eat the toast, you will be punished by drinking wine

Mrs. Chen and her daughter set up their stall at the same location as yesterday.

Lin Yue glanced at the entrance to the community and whispered, "Mom, why are the two security guards at the door staring at us? When we came out just now, they were smiling at us. That smile..."

"Kid, I'm just saying hello."

As Mrs. Chen spoke, she turned around and glanced towards the door. Sure enough, a security guard was looking at her. When he saw her looking over, he smiled again.

She turned around quickly, her smile froze on her face.

"right?"

Lin Yue was a little scared, "Could it be that we met a bad guy?"

"Don't think too much."

Mrs. Chen looked around and saw that in addition to the people setting up stalls, there were also some pedestrians. She suddenly felt more secure.

"Do business well. We can't really rely on this small town to support ourselves. We have to earn our own living."

"Yeah, I know."

Lin Yue nodded repeatedly.

But she quickly thought of something, "Mom, if that big sister comes over later, should we refuse her?"

"Ah."

Mrs. Chen nodded.

After Jiang Cheng's advice, she thought about it all night, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that Jiang Cheng was right.

If such a good thing really happens, will it happen to me?

If you set up a stall at the door, you can earn less, but at least you have something to do.

Time passed by minute by minute.

Just after I finished mending a piece of clothing for someone, a middle-aged woman in red clothes and carrying a handbag appeared.

"How's business, ladies?"

She smiled kindly and sat down on the small stool in front of the two of them.

Mrs. Chen and Lin Yue looked up and suddenly felt ashamed of themselves.

The woman in front of me is a little plump, but she is dressed very delicately, especially the small bag she is holding in her hand.

It’s worth a fortune just by looking at it.

This is also the reason why they didn’t feel cheated yesterday. After all, someone dressed like this must be very rich. Would a rich person cheat them?

“That’s how business works.”

Mrs. Chen lowered her head somewhat embarrassedly.

"Haha, I told you yesterday, what kind of business can you have here? It's incredible to earn twenty or thirty dollars a day. To be honest, it's a waste of your skills here."

"You're too polite, sister. My cooking skills are just so-so." Mrs. Chen said hurriedly.

"As a woman, you should have more confidence in yourself. If I say you can do it, then you can do it."

"Thank you, sis."

Mrs. Chen was deeply moved.

"It's okay. By the way, I came to see you today. You should know what it is about, right?"

The middle-aged woman looked at her delicate nails and pretended to be nonchalant.

Mrs. Chen and Lin Yue looked at each other.

"I know, I know."

"That's good to know. How about it? What do you think about it?"

The middle-aged woman raised her head, looking confident.

"Well, I'm really sorry," Mrs. Chen said, feeling even more embarrassed. "Thank you for your kindness, but we'd better set up the stall here."

"???"

The middle-aged woman's eyes widened.

What did she hear?
The other party actually refused?
How could she refuse? It was obvious that the two of them were very interested yesterday and said they would go back and discuss it with their families and give her an answer.

Could it be that the family members don’t agree?
"Um, what did you say just now? I didn't hear it clearly." asked the middle-aged woman.

"I'm really sorry."

Mrs. Chen became a little bolder and looked into the other person's eyes and said, "We'd better not go for the job you mentioned. We'll just set up a stall here."

"Uh-huh."

Lin Yue also nodded repeatedly. The middle-aged woman took a deep breath.

"Do you know what you are talking about? This job is not accessible to ordinary people. Only I have some connections to get it. If it weren't for your honesty, I would not introduce this job to you."

Hearing this, Mrs. Chen actually breathed a sigh of relief.

"Sister, if that's the case, why don't you introduce this job to someone close to you? We just met, and I'm really embarrassed to take advantage of you."

"you?"

The middle-aged woman was dumbfounded.

I wanted to retreat in order to advance, but I was forced into a situation with no way out.

"I'm really sorry, sister, for making you make such a special trip." Mrs. Chen apologized again.

After the previous contact, she felt that the lady in front of her was a pretty nice person.

But since Jiang Cheng had already told her to refuse, she certainly couldn't act on her own and agree to it.

"You, have you really thought it through?"

The middle-aged woman was very unwilling.

"How much money do you make here in a day? If you go to the place I introduced to you, you can make at least 1 a month. The two of you together will make ! If you perform well, more than , or even is not impossible.

Oh, I see. Are you worried? Or are your family members against it? Do they think I'm a liar?"

"No, no."

Mrs. Chen's eyes were a little evasive.

After all, that’s what Jiang Cheng said.

The middle-aged woman caught it keenly, unzipped the bag, and counted out ten hundred-dollar bills from it.

"Sister, what are you doing?"

Seeing the other party stuffing money into her hands, Mrs. Chen was frightened and panicked, and kept pulling her hands back.

Seeing this, others also cast their eyes over.

After seeing it clearly, everyone's eyes were filled with envy.

"Take this money first, and consider it as an advance salary."

The middle-aged woman said, "Aren't you worried that I'm a liar? There are liars who will pay you in advance before you start working?"

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Chen and her daughter were filled with shame.

"Sister, that's not what we meant."

"what does that mean?"

"We have elderly people in our family who need to be taken care of, and we just can't spare the time."

"Can we come back at night to take care of the elderly? It's not far from here, so we can come back every day."

"No, big sister."

Mrs. Chen realized that if she didn't take a clear attitude, the matter would never be resolved.

Therefore, the next moment she put away her smile and said seriously: "Big sister, we are very grateful for your kindness, but we will not accept this job. We will be content with just setting up a stall here and making some money."

The smile on the middle-aged woman's face also froze.

"Have you really thought it through? I'm reminding you for the last time. If you miss this opportunity, you'll never get it again."

"Ok!"

Mrs. Chen nodded firmly.

"Good, good, good."

The middle-aged woman gnashed her teeth in anger.

"You don't want to drink the wine, you know? I was kind to you, but this is the result. Fine, you guys can just set up a stall here and see how much money you can make in a month."

After saying that, she snorted coldly, put the money in her bag, zipped it up, stood up and walked away angrily.

"Mom, she seems so angry."

Lin Yue muttered softly.

"She meant well, but we rejected her. It's normal for her to be angry. Sigh."

Mrs. Chen sighed.

I felt even more guilty.
