Chapter 1643 Receiving Salary
Ye Chengyang watched from the side with extreme envy. High salary and studying in Shanghai were things he couldn't even dream of. He was born two or three years later, and his younger brother was already in a completely different situation.
And he also had to help take care of the children; I broke down in tears.
He said with a slightly aggrieved look, "Dad, should I wait a few years until I graduate from junior high school before going to Shanghai? And then go with my older brother?"
"Yes, that's right. Your mother is worried that you're too young. If you go to study in another city alone now, you might be bullied by the locals. It's better to wait until you're older, otherwise it will affect your physical and mental health."
He stopped talking.
Ye Xiaoxi didn't care where she studied; she only cared about how to spend her salary. Just thinking about it made her heart ache. She was listless, had no desire to speak, and just wanted to save money in a few days.
Just when neither of them wanted to talk, Ye Chenghu suddenly blurted out something.
"Dad, if another typhoon suddenly hits, can I take leave until the end of the month and still get my full month's salary?"
His eyes lit up as he spoke, and his voice rose...
Ye Yaodong's face darkened, and he raised his hand to slap the other person again without hesitation.
"Shut your jinx! Do you know how much your father loses when the typhoon stops for a week? Selling ten of you wouldn't be enough to cover my losses!"
Ye Chenghu rubbed the back of his head, wincing in pain, and quickly begged for mercy, "Dad, I was wrong, ptooey, ptooey, I just suddenly thought of it, without thinking much about it, ptooey, ptooey, bad things don't work, good things do."
"The rest of your salary is gone, it's deducted, but you'll still have to work as usual."
"what……"
"What? If you do that again, I'll deduct a month's salary from your paycheck."
Ye Chenghu almost covered the back of his head, then quickly covered his mouth, heartbroken... There were still two weeks left...
His half-month's salary...
I want to cry...
Ye Chengyang felt relieved; his older brother's half-month salary was equivalent to his monthly salary!
This is called balance; there's not much more of it.
Ye Xiaoxi gloated, "Serves him right, hehe~"
Ye Yaodong looked at her with a half-smile, "Laughing so happily, have you finished your summer homework?"
Ye Xiaoxi's smile froze instantly; she couldn't laugh anymore and even let out a wail.
"Ah~ Dad, why did you remind me?!"
"Hmph, hurry up and finish your homework, otherwise you won't have anything to play with when you get home. Right now, you can work during the day and do your homework at night, so you can run around and play when you get home instead of staying home to finish your work."
Ye Xiaoxi whimpered in distress and pretended to cry.
Ye Chengyang also looked miserable and hurriedly went to find his schoolbag.
The happy times were so short-lived, followed by agonizing pain. Working during the day and rushing to finish homework at night, this was just too much!
Working people only have to go to work, while these kids have to do homework in addition to work. It's heartbreaking.
Ye Yaodong was satisfied. "Do your homework properly. I'm leaving."
The moment he closed the door, Ye Chenghu burst into three loud laughs, arrogantly declaring, "Haha, this is awesome! I don't have to do homework, I have no homework, I'm going to high school soon~ No summer homework, hahaha~"
He was secretly pleased, but he didn't dare show it, for fear of getting slapped again.
The two siblings rolled their eyes at him, snorted, and obediently went to do their homework, ignoring him completely.
Ye Chenghu happily jumped around them until the two threatened to tell their father and have his salary docked, at which point he dared not bother them anymore.
But he was also getting a bit bored, as his schedule didn't overlap with Ye Chengjiang's and his cousins'.
When his fishing boats return to port to rest, their trucks take over to unload and haul cargo. It's only during typhoon days that everyone can rest together and have some fun.
Now that his two younger siblings have started doing their homework, he seems a bit out of place!
Before leaving, he muttered cheekily, "Ugh, damn it, why don't I have any homework?"
Ye Chengyang and Ye Xiaoxi angrily threw a pencil and an eraser at the door at the same time.
Ye Chenghu chuckled and ran out. Since he was bored, he went downstairs for a stroll.
Ye Xiaoxi huffed and puffed, "Big brother is too arrogant, too awful! Just because he doesn't have homework doesn't mean he's so great!"
"It's really great that there's no homework. Hurry up and do it, then go to sleep. You have to go to work tomorrow."
The last sentence instantly broke Ye Xiaoxi; she let out a wail and collapsed onto the table.
"Oh no, what have I done to deserve this? Why did I even come to work? Why was I so foolish? Oh my god, this is killing me..."
The more Ye Chengyang listened to the howling, the more something seemed off; the rhythm was somewhat familiar.
It seems to be a phrase that village aunties use all the time, only now it includes the word "going to work".
They might be yelling, "How did I give birth to this coffin-like child?" or "Why am I not dead yet..."
He glanced at her speechlessly, then quickly lowered his head to write his own.
Ye Xiaoxi wailed for a while, but eventually sat up straight and was forced to start working.
With only a few days left until their break on August 18th, they counted down the days on their fingers. When they finally finished their last day, the brother and sister cheered as they were still in the factory.
He quickly took off his gloves and threw them into the air, and also tossed his apron aside.
"Ah~ Finally finished~"
"I'm free! No more going to work! I never want to go to work again!"
"Let's go, let's go collect our wages!"
"Ah! Time to collect my salary!"
The brother and sister ran quickly to the finance office. Pei Yu could only run after them without saying a word, but she couldn't keep up with them.
"Wait for me... cousins..."
The two were only thinking about collecting their wages and had no idea about the tail following them.
They worked from the end of June to mid-to-late August. Lin Dongxue remembers clearly how many days they worked and settled their wages.
The brother and sister's eyes gleamed with predatory intent as they held the banknotes, their mouths practically watering at the sight of the hundred-yuan bills.
"Brother, is this 100 yuan? Oh my god, I don't even have a 100 yuan note in my piggy bank."
"It's not just that I don't have a single 100-yuan note, I estimate that all of them together don't even amount to 100 yuan."
In reality, he did earn some. Not to mention the savings he accumulated over the years, he earned over 100 yuan in salary last year alone. It's just that Ye Chengyang was too excited and exaggerated.
"I didn't count it, I put it all in a piggy bank, I don't even know how much money I have. My God, I've never had so much money in my life, I'm rich."
Ye Chengyang couldn't stop smiling. "I'm rich! Lots of money!"
Pei Yu, watching from the side, couldn't resist the urge. She stood on tiptoe, her heart pounding with desire, wanting to join in as well.
Lin Dongxue asked her, "Are you going to stop going to work and still get paid?"
She twisted her fingers and whispered, "I don't know. I need to ask my mother. She didn't say I can't just take things without permission."
"Okay, then you can ask your mother when you get back."
"Isn't my sister going to work tomorrow?" she asked Ye Xiaoxi.
"I'm not going anymore, I'm never going again. It's such a huge loss. I'm going home the day after tomorrow."
Pei Yu felt a little sad; she had no friends here.
"Let's go buy some popsicles!"
P.S.: I'll add another chapter during the day tomorrow... I don't feel any urgency, I can't even stay up all night to finish it...
