Farming Space Makes Me Rich

Chapter 204: Xiao Xinxin

Translator: Lonelytree

Xiao Lingyu thought that after the university entrance examination was over, there would be fewer people coming to the store to buy vegetables.
However, she was wrong.
The number of customers only increased.

Her family only had a few Mu of land.
After the many harvests, the production had dropped a lot.
Even if they sold in limited quantities, they couldn’t satisfy the customer’s needs anymore.

She had more vegetables in her farming space, but she couldn’t withdraw all of them without drawing attention to herself.

There was still a large piece of uncultivated land in the farming space.
She had to find a way to bring the vegetables out.
She didn’t have the opportunity, so she had to seek other solutions.

It was time to talk about contracting a mountain.

Over the period of time, Xiao Lingyu had earned around 300,000 RMB after taking out the salaries for her fourth aunt and uncle, the shop utilities, and rent.
She would go back to ask the village chief how she would go about renting a mountain.

After the university entrance exam, Xiao Lingye stayed in the county to take the driver’s license exam.

Ever since Xiao Lingyu introduced the Taoyuan Village brand, her life had been very busy.
From time to time, the villagers would come to her to sign the contract.
This meant that she had to go back and forth.
Her stomach was getting too big for her to keep on doing this.

Her fourth aunt and uncle were familiar with working at the shop.
But she needed to hire another person to take her place at the cashier.
Xiao Lingyu immediately thought of someone.
She was just 20 and found a job in the county town, but she was not satisfied with it.

“Lingyu, you want my Xinxin to help you look after the shop, and you’ll pay her 1200 RMB per month?” Xiao Chengbang and Zhou Yan were shocked when they heard Xiao Lingyu.
1200 RMB a month? That was an astronomical number for them.

Xiao Lingyu said, “1,200 is just the salary for the probation period.
If Xinxin does well, I’ll raise it to 1,500 RMB.”

“But, Lingyu, my Xinxin is only a junior high school graduate.
Can she really help?” Zhou Yan was still worried.

Xiao Lingyu smiled and said, “Aunt Zhou, I know Xinxin is a capable person.
She will definitely do well!”

“Alright, Xinxin will work for you!” Xiao Chengbang decided.
Xiao Lingyu gave Xinxin such a good offer.
Moreover, Xiao Chengbang also wanted his daughter to follow Xiao Lingyu and learn some things.
Xiao Lingyu was very capable.
If she had 30 percent of Xiao Lingyu’s talent, she could look after herself already.

“Uncle Chengbang, don’t you want to discuss this with Xinxin first?” Xiao Lingyu still felt that they should respect Xiao Xinxin’s opinion.

Xiao Chengbang said, “There’s no need to discuss.
She will definitely agree.
She has idolized you since she was young.
She won’t miss this opportunity to work with you!”

Xiao Lingyu nodded and said, “If that’s the case, tell Xinxin to look for me when she comes back.”

“Okay!”

After Xiao Lingyu left, Zhou Yan turned around and went back into the house.

“Where are you going?” Xiao Chengbang immediately asked.

“To call Xinxin!”Zhou Yan replied loudly.

“Oh, yes.
Of course!” Xiao Chengbang reacted and walked back into the house with large strides.

Xiao Chengbang’s house had a landline.

“Xinxin, are you busy? Have you had dinner yet?” Zhou Yan said, “You’re still cleaning the shop even though it’s already so late? You need to rest well.
Your father and I are fine.
Your brother? He’s not back yet.
He’s probably playing with Little Loach…”

Xiao Chengbang became anxious, “Get to the point.
Our daughter is still at work.
If you keep nagging, you’ll cause her to be scolded by the boss.
No, give me the phone.
I’ll talk to my daughter.”

Zhou Yan gave the phone to Xiao Chengbang.

Xiao Chengbang picked up the phone and said, “Xinxin, Sister Lingyu came over and said she wants you to work for her and look after her shop.
She’ll pay you 1000 RMB a month during the probation period and then 1500 RMB a month.
Your dad has already agreed on your behalf.
You should quit your current job as soon as possible.
Oh? You’re coming back tomorrow? That’s good.
What about your job? You have already told the boss you would quit last month? Good, we’ll see you tomorrow then.”

After Xiao Chengbang hung up the phone, Zhou Yan immediately asked, “How was it? Did Xinxin agree?”

Xiao Chengbang said proudly, “No one knows my daughter better than me.
She agreed.
She would come back home tomorrow.”

“That’s good!” Zhou Yan suddenly thought of something and asked with puzzlement, “Just now, you said that Xinxin told the boss she would quit last month.
What was that about?”

Xiao Chengbang frowned and said, “She’s at the shop, so she can’t talk.
We’ll ask her tomorrow.
Tonight is her last day of work, and she’s teaching her replacement.”

“Okay.” Zhou Yan nodded.

…

Xiao Xinxin was excited after she hung up.
She didn’t expect her Sister Lingyu would offer her a job.
She knew Xiao Lingyu had opened a vegetable shop, but she had never been.
She heard the business was very good.

“Xiao Xinxin, what are you doing?” At this moment, a lion’s roar came.
“Do you think you can slack off on the last day? Let me tell you, if I catch you slacking off again, you won’t be able to get your salary for this month!”

Xiao Xinxin’s heart suddenly surged with anger, but she endured it.

She gritted her teeth and said, “I know, Madam Boss.”

“Good!” The lady snorted.

After the woman left, Xiao Xinxin immediately made a face.
“What a stingy person!” Xiao Xinxin currently worked at a privately owned supermarket in the county town.

She had thought of leaving the county, but she didn’t want to be so far away from her parents.
She had worked here for half a year already.
At first, the boss deducted her salary, and now, they deducted and deferred her salary.

At first, the agreed-upon salary was 1000 RMB per month plus food and accommodation, but when she got her first salary, it was less than 500 RMB.
Apparently, it was to deduct the cost of utilities, water, and electricity.
Her boss and his wife would also find fault with her work just to deduct her salary.
Once, because a customer kicked over the trash can, she was deducted 10 RMB.
How was that her fault? She still had no idea.
After that, Xiao Xinxin learned to avoid mistakes, and she would get around 600 to 700 RMB monthly.

Xiao Xinxin took all these in strides.
Plus, her boss promised that as she learned to be better at the job, she would have a salary raise.
Xiao Xinxin endured until she couldn’t do it anymore.
In a fit of anger, she resigned.

The Madam Boss seemed to expect her resignation.
She told Xiao Xinxin that she had to work for another full month before she could leave or else she wouldn’t get her salary.
Also, the boss had to recruit new people, and Xiao Xinxin had to train them.

In this last month, Xiao Xinxin had to do extra work, and the boss and his wife also worked extra hard to find fault with her.
Thankfully, after working here for so long, Xiao Xinxin did learn how to stay out of trouble.

After her job was done, the Madam Boss called Xiao Xinxin over.

“This is your salary for a month!” The Madam Boss took out 550 RMB and placed it on the table.
“After tonight, you’re not my employee anymore, so you can’t stay in my dorm.
I’ve asked someone to pack your things.
They’re now in front of the supermarket.” The woman said these words with a contemptuous expression.
She looked at Xiao Xinxin as if she was giving her alms.

Xiao Xinxin was shocked when she heard the rest of the words.
She blurted out, “You won’t let me stay at the dorm for one last night? Where am I going to stay then?”

The woman couldn’t care less.
She said impatiently, “You can stay wherever you want.
In short, you’re no longer an employee of my supermarket.
You don’t have the right to stay in my dorm!”

At this point, she caught a glimpse of the 550 in Xiao Xinxin’s hand from the corner of her eye and reminded her kindly, “You just got your salary, right? There are many hotels nearby.
That money is enough for you to stay for two nights.”

Speaking of money, Xiao Xinxin immediately reacted, “Wait a minute.
Normally, I can still get 700 after all the deductions, so why is it only 550? Plus, this is just one month’s salary.
You should pay me for two months, last month and this month!”

The woman sneered and said mockingly, “Who told you it was two months’ salary?”

“But you have me worked for two months!” Xiao Xinxin argued, “When I told you I wanted to quit last month, you told me I have to work one more full month because you need me to train the new worker, so you need to pay me two months’ salary! Also, you’ve deducted my salary for no reason!”

The lady snorted with contempt, “Hmph, I said you’d get your salary after working for another month, but it was only for one month.
You were already not my employee since the day you resigned last month.
You should be thankful that I let you stay in my dorm for one extra month without charging you..
You didn’t clarify things with me, so how is that my fault? Xiao Xinxin, this 550 RMB is all you’ll get.
Take it or leave it!”
