Chapter 264 - 264: New Breadwinner
Madam Liang nodded. Meanwhile, Lu Sanzhu asked impatiently, “Mother, how do you calculate the wages?
The old lady was really impressed by the two’s attitude. She immediately said in a bad mood, “You earn as much as you make. If a doll is sold for a hundred coins, you will be paid eight coins.”
Eight coins worth of salary?
Madam Liang immediately made the calculations internally. She understood that this kind of doll was actually very easy to make. From morning till night, she could make four or five of them. If it weren’t for the fact that the material used to make the doll cover was leftover from the ready-made clothes and was relatively tattered, she could make more.
However, four or five was still not bad. If that was calculated, wouldn’t it be 30 or 40 coins per day?
“Heavens, 30 to 40 coins? So much?” Lu Sanzhu calculated even faster and jumped up. “That’s more than doing manual labor and doing part-time jobs. We can do it, we can do it. Honey, make more. I’ll rely on you to support our family in the future.”
Shu Yu, the old lady, and Daya were speechless.
His reaction speed is really amazing. He was planning so well.
Madam Liang was still in a daze from the thought of making 30 to 40 coins a day.
She would earn more than the men who worked part-time in the village It was a great opportunity.
However, the old lady quickly interrupted her beautiful dream. “What are you thinking about? 30 to 40 coins a day? Did you hear me clearly? What I said was, if you sell it for a hundred coins, you can get eight coins. Not all dolls are sold for 100 coins. Smaller and cheaper dolls ones could be sold for 30 to 40 coins.”
Madam Liang didn’t hesitate. “Then I’ll do the one that costs 100 coins. I won’t do those that cost 30 to 40 coins.”
“Bah, you wish.” The old lady almost spat at her. “Is that something you can decide?”
The old lady was impatient. “I’ll decide how many and how big of a doll you make. You just need to make the dolls according to the requirements. Don’t think too much about anything else. If you want to do it, then do it. If you don’t want to do it, then forget it.”
Madam Liang shrunk her neck and exchanged glances with Lu Sanzhu. She muttered softly, “I didn’t say I wasn’t going to do it. I’m still very willing.”
“All right, then you can start working this afternoon. I’m telling you, if you do too badly and don’t pass, you’ll have to start over.”
“Mother, don’t worry. I will definitely make it beautifully.”
Even though the old lady had already poured cold water on them, they were still determined to earn that much in a day, so they were overjoyed.
Madam Liang immediately helped the old lady with her work. Lu Sanzhu had nothing to do, so he watched from the side.
As Lu Sanzhu looked on, he felt as if there was a burning gaze behind him.
He suddenly turned around and met Shu Yu’s smiling eyes.
Lu Sanzhu’s expression changed slightly, and he immediately stood up from her chair.
What? What did he do wrong for Shu Yu to look at him like that? It was too scary.
Shu Yu saw that he was finally looking at her, so she immediately signaled him to come out.
Lu Sanzhu suddenly remembered something. “Ah, yes, yes. I’ll go wash the dishes.”
He knew he hadn’t done anything bad. In the end, it was just forgetting to wash the dishes.
When Lu Sanzhu and Madam Liang had heard that the old lady was back, the two of them swallowed the last mouthful of soup and ran out impatiently. The bowls and spoons were still scattered in the kitchen.
While the old lady and the others looked at Lu Sanzhu in astonishment, the latter had already run out.
The old lady asked Madam Liang, “He washes the dishes?”
