30. Visit employees' families

After listening to Liu Qing's statement, the reason why she wanted to advance half a year's salary was to treat her old mother. Liu Qing's father was originally a director of the Ministry of Industry, but he was later beheaded for corruption. But the reason why he was corrupt was actually to treat his wife. Although the situation is pitiful, the law is not merciful, according to the law of the Tang Dynasty, corruption will be beheaded. Therefore, Liu Qing's father was beheaded, and even the family's property was confiscated. If Jingwen hadn't hired Liu Qing, I'm afraid she would have been forced by those ill-intentioned local tyrants to do something to sell her body.

Now, Liu Qing's mother has to take medicine every day, but it costs a lot of money to maintain her life. If you want to be completely cured, you can't solve it without a few hundred dollars. Now the reason why Liu Qing wants to advance half a year's salary is to make her mother's condition better. Now her mother is very miserable, and Liu Qing, the daughter, doesn't want her mother to suffer, so she wants to advance half a year's salary.

"Well, I'll go see your mother for myself!" Jingwen said.

"What? Boss, you're going to see my mother in person? Liu Qing asked incredulously.

"Yes! Any questions? Jingwen asked rhetorically.

Liu Qing said: "It's the first time I've heard that the boss will visit the families of his subordinates, so I'm a little surprised for a while. ”

After Jingwen heard this, he immediately knew that this was ancient times, an era with a very clear distinction between superior and inferior, and it was not as harmonious as in later generations. It is not a big deal for the bosses of later generations to visit the families of employees, but it is a good way to buy people's hearts, but there is no such thing in this era.

"Alright, let's go to your house!" Jingwen said.

When Liu Qing saw Jingwen say this, he took Jingwen to his house. However, Jingwen also bought some gifts, which can be regarded as condolences to Liu Qing's mother.

"Mother, I'm back, I'm still here with my boss!" Liu Qing said.

At this time, an elderly woman came to Liu Qing's side on crutches and asked, "Qing'er, why are you back?" Who is this son? ”

Jingwen immediately bowed to the old man and said, "Hello Mrs. Liu! I'm Miss Liu Qing's boss Jingwen, and I'm here to visit you! ”

"Boss, I don't have anything to entertain you here, cough cough cough...... Well, it's been a problem for many years, please don't be surprised! The old lady said.

Jingwen immediately went over and helped the old lady to sit down.

"Qing'er, have you become the woman of Jingwen Gongzi?" The old lady asked.

Liu Qing didn't know how to answer for a while, but Jingwen said, "Old lady, I'm just coming to see my subordinates' families." Only by appeasing the family members of my subordinates can I let them work for me with peace of mind! I don't have anything to do with Miss Liu Qing, and he's not my woman. ”

"It's not your woman, why did you come to see me!" The old lady asked.

Jingwen was a little difficult to answer, the concept of respect and inferiority in this era is too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and he just wanted to come to see the employees' families, but they were all regarded by the old lady as herself, Liu Qing accepted it. Although Jingwen has a good impression of Liu Qing, a beauty, he hasn't received it yet!

"Old lady, I have nothing to do with Miss Liu Qing, we are just coming to see you out of humanitarianism!" Jingwen said.

But the old lady asked, "What is humanitarianism?" ”

"Hey, forget it, don't talk about it, we really don't have a relationship!" Jingwen said.

But the old lady held Jingwen's hand and said, "Master Jingwen, Qing'er and his father only have such a daughter. Qing'er's father has already broken the law of the country for me, and now he is dead. I don't want Qing'er to bear too much for this old woman, I'm already a half-cut person, and I don't want to drag her down. If he still has to take care of me, an old woman, I'm afraid he won't be able to find a good family. So, I want you to take care of her, even if it's a slave to her. However, I hope that Gongzi Jingwen can give her the status of a concubine, so that she is worthy of me. I hope that Jingwen Gongzi will not dislike Qing'er and is a few years older than you. ”

Jingwen was a little speechless, this old woman actually wanted Jingwen to entrust Liu Qing to herself, it seems that she really doesn't want to drag Liu Qing down! Pity the hearts of parents all over the world, this old mother estimates that if she goes on like this, she is afraid that she will drag her daughter down. If it drags on like this, I'm afraid it will be difficult for my daughter to find her in-laws. Others want to marry a wife, but they don't want to marry such a big burden. Therefore, this old lady already has a will to die in her heart, and she doesn't want to drag down her family.

When Jingwen saw this situation, he felt a little sad that he was not hungry again. In later generations, many elderly people committed suicide because it was difficult to provide for the elderly, difficult to see a doctor, and afraid of dragging down their families. Whose fault is this? This is probably the sorrow of the whole society, and this kind of thing was even more strict in ancient times. In ancient times, there were no high-tech medical methods, let alone sound social insurance, so you had to pay for all the medical treatment. Moreover, many medicinal materials in ancient times were natural and could not be cultivated artificially, which increased the cost of medicinal materials.

"Old lady, don't worry, I'll pay for your medical expenses. Isn't it just a few hundred dollars? I can afford it, so don't worry, old lady, I'll pay for it. You have to live well, live a wonderful life, and spend your old age in peace. Jingwen said.

The old lady shook her head and said, "Our Liu family doesn't want to be favored for no reason, otherwise we are afraid that we will not be able to change it for the rest of our lives." A few hundred dollars, even if we sell our whole family, we can't afford to exchange it! So, I can't afford to burden my daughter anymore. ”

"Mother, don't say that, you will always be my mother, not a burden! Even if I don't marry in this life, I will serve you and make you better! You gave birth to me and raised me for many years, I can't just abandon you like this! Liu Qing immediately persuaded.

Jingwen also understood what this old lady meant, that is, they were the kind of people who didn't want to be favored for no reason. If you accept favors from others at will, I am afraid that you are indebting to others, and I am afraid that you will not be able to change it in the future.

"Old lady, Liu Qing is actually one of our bosses, and you can get a dividend. After a while, she had dozens of dollars every day, and now she is just advancing in advance. When the time comes, it will be deducted from his dividends and will not be borne. Jingwen said.

"If that's the case, then I'm relieved! It seems that Qing'er has followed a good person! The old lady said.

The old lady finally accepted the medical expenses, because it would not increase the burden on her daughter, so the old lady could accept it. And Jingwen saw this situation and immediately had an idea in his heart.
