Rebirth or let the ungrateful wolf be born
Chapter 31: Neighbors with Priceless Connections
The Jiang family's fruit and vegetable business was even more prosperous after the beginning of the year. The nearby residents all knew that they could buy delicious fruits and vegetables in this yard. Word spread quickly, attracting a large number of new and old customers.
Aunt Wang, the neighbor of the Jiang family, was formally invited by Jiang Jie to help Jiang's mother sell vegetables, with a monthly salary of 300 yuan.
Before Aunt Wang was invited, she was also a frequent visitor to the yard. She was taking care of her grandson at home every day. After her grandson went to school, she could not keep her at home, so she came here to play with Mother Jiang every day. When Mother Jiang was busy, she would help her for free. At that time, Jiang Jie also mentioned paying Aunt Wang for her wages, but Aunt Wang refused and laughed and scolded her for being too reserved.
After the beginning of the year, the grandson was taken care of by his mother. Because he was going to primary school, she started to discipline him more strictly. Aunt Wang was bored, so Jiang Jie once again proposed to ask her to work in her house.
"Aunt Wang, I know you are not short of money, but I am embarrassed that you help my family here for free every day. If you formally accept my employment, you will get the money, and my mother will not be embarrassed to ask you to help her. If you really don't want to, then I will plan to hire someone else. You can see that business is busier this year, and my mother can't handle it." When Jiang Jie talked to Aunt Wang again, she was more formal and serious.
When Aunt Wang heard that if she didn't do it, her family would have to ask someone else to do it, so she would feel embarrassed to come and play again, so she immediately nodded and agreed without asking her about the salary. Although the salary of 300 yuan was not high in this era, it was not low in this small town, especially for an elderly person. This 300 yuan was enough to make the old ladies around jealous.
After one or two months at the beginning of the year, Aunt Wang was able to handle things on her own. Even if Jiang's mother had to go back to the village for something, Aunt Wang could handle it in an orderly manner. After two months, Jiang Jie took the initiative to increase the salary from 300 to 500.
Although Aunt Wang was not short of money, she smiled until her eyes narrowed into slits when she received the 500 yuan salary, and she was even more concerned about the Jiang family's business. Even if Jiang's mother was away for three or five days, it would not affect the fruit and vegetable business at all.
This is what made Jiang Jie the happiest. She gave her mother this business to make her happy, not to make her suffer. She felt that the 500 yuan would give her mother freedom and convenience, which was worth it, even though some old ladies always said in front of her and her mother that this business was not worth 500 yuan. She didn't take it to heart, not to mention that after the 500 yuan salary was used to hire Aunt Wang to do the work, the relationship between the Jiang and Wang families became more harmonious and much closer than before. This was an invaluable connection.
Aunt Wang's children are very promising. Although Aunt Wang is usually alone at home, her son and his family of three and her daughter and her family of three will come back to see Aunt Wang on weekends. It was only after she invited Aunt Wang that Jiang Jie found out that her son is a senior official in the city and her daughter-in-law is a doctor in the city center hospital. Her daughter also works in the city as a lawyer. I heard that her son-in-law is in business, not a small business, but a very big boss.
After understanding this, she finally understood why Aunt Wang didn't ask for money and helped her family here for free every day. She took over the job later because she was afraid that they would hire someone else and she would become redundant.
At first, Jiang Jie was worried that the Wang family’s children would not agree to let their mother come here to earn such a low salary and suffer.
Later, when they came back and saw their mother here, they came to look after Aunt Wang. They found that the old mother's state at the Jiang family was much better than being idle at home. As long as the mother was happy, the children supported her to do what she liked. What's more, the work at the Jiang family was not tiring. It was just buying vegetables, weighing, and collecting money. When she was not busy, she was mostly chatting with the old ladies selling vegetables. The children came to see her a few times and felt relieved. They were also much more enthusiastic towards the mother and daughter of the Jiang family. They were not as unfamiliar as when they first came, just nodding acquaintances. Now when they see Jiang Jie, they will stop and smile and say a few words.
Aunt Wang's joining helped Jiang's mother realize her wish to travel whenever she wanted. She was the happiest person.
After Aunt Wang agreed to her daughter's request to come to work every day, Jiang's mother gave her a set of keys to the yard. Aunt Wang got up early and opened the gate every day to collect vegetables from the vegetable farmers. She directly used the income from selling vegetables to buy the fruits and vegetables grown by the elderly. The income was placed in a locked iron box and kept by Aunt Wang. She also kept a clear account. With her experience in managing a warehouse when she was young, she was very good at this.
Before hiring Aunt Wang, Jiang Jie had a few conversations with her and used mind reading to understand the old lady's personality and temperament. So after hiring Aunt Wang, she gave her enough trust and made her feel like a master. The more she worked, the more motivated she became, and the more responsible she became. She was only about sixty years old, and she didn't admit that she was old at all.
When Aunt Wang talks about Jiang Jie with her son and daughter at home, she always gives her a thumbs up.
"When the mother and daughter first moved in, I thought the girl had no opinion and listened to her mother in everything. After getting to know her, I realized that although this delicate girl obeyed her mother in everything, she always let her mother decide things according to her own wishes, and she would obey. This seems easy, but it is not easy to do it this way. In everyone's eyes, their mother is the boss, but in fact, Jiang Jie is the one who controls the power."
"Why did she do this? Is she trying to hide something?" The son said nothing, but nodded in agreement with his mother. However, Wang's daughter didn't understand why Jiang Jie would go to such trouble. She couldn't help but ask.
"This is what makes Jiang Jie so great. She does great things in a low-key manner, but no one can guess that these things are done by a girl of her age. She will never be the first to stand out." The elder brother of the Wang family expressed his opinion to his sister.
The two siblings couldn't help but become more curious about Jiang Jie. Whenever they met her, they couldn't help but stop and talk to her, say hello, etc.
After hearing the mother's comments on Jiang Jie, the Wang family came into close contact with her several times and found that, as the mother said, this was a very smart and insightful girl, but she hid her wisdom through her mother and kept a low profile so that people would not notice her existence. Only after getting to know her in depth, would you discover her outstanding highlights. Unconsciously, this discovery made everyone in the Wang family feel closer to the Jiang family.
Who in the world doesn't want to deal with smart people with correct values? Especially how can such a neighbor be alienated? Besides, it is said that distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors.
In half a month, Jiang Jie completed one month's work ahead of schedule, freeing up half a month to take her mother on a trip.
She only took a laptop and a bank card issued with her mother's ID card and took her mother on a completely different route from last time, starting their New Year's journey.
Two days ago, Lin Musen faxed his market research report to Jiang Jie.
After seeing the immature report, Jiang Jie still went to L City in the name of her brother's investment.
Along the way, Jiang's mother was much quieter than the first time she went out. She would only get excited for a while when she arrived at each place and ate the local special snacks.
Jiang Jie's purpose of traveling was to let her mother eat well and have fun. So whenever there was a scenic spot, she would take a detour to play for a while before continuing on her way. This time, she was going to help Lin Musen with his business, so they didn't visit as many scenic spots as last time, and it only took two days to reach L City.
