Hou Xiaobao’s face stiffened, like a withered blade of grass, his head drooping down as he gave a sheepish smile, "Then... never mind, I was just asking..."
"How about this," Lin Chuxia continued, "I was originally planning to have a few male employees take turns working night shifts at the Bun Shop. If you’re willing, I can arrange a room for you upstairs to stay in. You’ll live here and I won’t let you do night shifts for nothing; you’ll get fifty cents for a night’s work. Can you handle that?"
Since those folks dared to send someone to make trouble at the sesame cake stand today, they might have further tricks up their sleeves. Not to mention, our Bun Shop is so big here; obviously, we can’t just lock up at night.
If it’s Hou Xiaobao or Jia Liang taking the night shifts, that would be ideal.
Lin Chuxia didn’t know how capable they were on the streets, but based on today’s events, those guys seemed to show them a lot of respect.
The wilted grass instantly perked up, and his voice rose an octave, "Yes, boss, no problem! I’ll definitely take good care of the shop. No need for the night shift fee, just the salary is fine."
Lin Chuxia waved her hand, "We will do it the way it should be done. The more you give, the more you get; that’s my principle."
Hou Xiaobao looked at Jia Liang, his thin and dry face blossomed into a chrysanthemum with the smile.
A salary of thirty to forty, plus another ten or so for night shifts, he would have over fifty yuan this month.
It’s said that a level-four worker at the machinery factory earns just over fifty yuan, and those are the veteran workers there.
Jia Liang was happy for him too. Although he didn’t mind Houzi staying at his place, his mother disliked the work they did before, constantly complaining, and sometimes her discontent would rub off on Houzi.
It’s better to live here, more comfortable.
If it weren’t for the fact that he still has his mother at home to consider, he would like to stay here himself.
Lin Chuxia planned to ask Qin Han to make the arrangements, find an empty room upstairs tomorrow, get a bed and a desk, and then have Hou Xiaobao move in.
But Hou Xiaobao didn’t care at all, "Boss, I’ll stay here tonight. Just in case some blind rascals come, I’ll be able to teach them a lesson. You don’t have to worry about the bed and desk, I can handle it myself."
As long as he had a place to stay, he’d be willing even to sleep on the floor.
Su Wensong had guessed what was on their minds in the afternoon when they asked about the dormitory, and now hearing Lin Chuxia make the arrangements, he left the Bun Shop feeling relieved.
"Brother Su," Sun Lanlan was still waiting at the door.
"Something wrong?"
Sun Lanlan nodded, "Today, that uncle of yours came to our house again, but don’t worry, he didn’t make things difficult for Granny Su," she quickly soothed Su Wensong seeing his complexion change at the mention of Su Dazhuang visiting home.
Hearing her say that, Su Wensong felt slightly relieved, but didn’t delay any longer, thanked Sun Lanlan, and quickly rode his bike home.
It wasn’t until he got home and saw Granny Su had already prepared dinner, sitting under the lamp sewing his torn clothes with an unsettled expression, that his hanging heart finally settled.
Taking off his coat and hanging it on the rack, "Granny, I heard Su Dazhuang came by the house again today?"
Ever since Su Dazhuang and his son took away his job, he was unwilling to even call him uncle.
