Chapter 62: Beaten
"Brother Xu, how many copper plates can you earn a day by selling this strength?"
After Jiang Han came out of the teahouse, he didn't dare to go home.
She was indignant in her heart, and before she knew it, she had arrived at the dock.
Originally, she wanted to come to Xu Jiyang to vomit her unhappiness, but who knew that he had work at hand, so she waited for nearly an hour.
At this hour, she looked at these coolies coming and going, and many thoughts popped up in her heart.
Xu Jiyang listened to her question, patted the dust on his body, and replied: "Not necessarily, if you meet a good owner, sometimes you can earn forty or fifty to one hundred copper coins a day." When it's bad, there are only a dozen copper plates. β
"And how much did you earn today?"
Xu Jiyang stretched out three fingers and said, "No more, no less, thirty copper coins." β
"You're not going to take this job today, are you?"
"One trip is good, and people like me who don't want to be controlled by bullies are lucky to be able to find ten jobs a month."
"Your image, at a glance, you know that you have two strengths, why don't you pull a gang yourself?"
She couldn't figure this out, if she were to be replaced, she would definitely pull a group of coolies and make a gang to work with those ruffians.
"That's not good, then I'm not going to be a bully!" Xu Jiyang said righteously.
I didn't expect this stupid big guy to be old-fashioned.
"How did you become a bully? You're just protecting the weak and outlawed coolies. People like you, if you are looking for someone to do the work, you will definitely not ask people for half of the salary, you can just charge a hardship fee, and ten copper coins will charge someone a copper coin. β
"That's a bully, too, and if you really protect them, you should take nothingβI never take copper money from the few people I am with me now." Xu Jiyang shook his head disapprovingly, and boasted proudly.
"But you often can't find a job, and when they don't have a job to do, they give in to the bully, right?"
"Everyone has a big family to eat and dress, which is different from me. It's all impossible. β
"Wouldn't it be better if you had more work on your hands and less money to ask people for less?" Jiang Han followed the good path.
"But my ability is limited, and I'm very satisfied with being able to get a dozen jobs a month like I am now."
"I can help you! I'll help you pick up the job, you go to find someone to do it, we will complement each other's advantages in cooperation and ensure that we are invincible! Jiang Han finally said his purpose.
"No, this job is not as easy to take as you think! Most of the bosses who often come here are connected with Huang San's interests. Only some individual customers, who don't have much work and don't give much money, then Huang San and Ma Yi don't pay attention to it, and when Chen Hanyuan's strength is not enough, they will let people like me take advantage of a loophole. β
"How do we know if we don't try?" Jiang Han persuaded without giving up.
"I don't have to try, I'll know!" After Xu Jiyang firmly refused, he asked her instead, "Why didn't you go to work in the teahouse when you were released from prison today, but came to me to chat?" β
"I've been fired." Jiang Han shrugged his shoulders in disdain.
ββ¦β¦ In the future, when you finish selling buns in the morning, if you meet me and have a job in hand, follow me! It's also a subsidy. β
Xu Jiyang is kind-hearted, but it's a pity that his eyesight is not very good - the person in front of him is obviously not a person who will come to sell coolies!
Jiang Han said goodbye to Xu Jiyang, and his heart became very unwilling.
It's all these damn ruffians of the Yellow Gang, who made her so miserable, and this breath is really hard to get rid of the hatred in her heart!
So she came home late that night.
The next morning, he disappeared.
On the third day, in the middle of the day, she entered the door with a triumphant smile on her face.
"Dad, I'm back!" She shouted.
Thinking of just now, she finally beat the ruffian who led people around her at the beginning, covering her head and screaming at her mother's fart, she was really in a very comfortable mood.
It's a pity that Huang Youneng is still locked up in the Inspection Division.
So, she forgave Duoduo, the black dog she hated, for barking at her incessantly, stood in the yard, and happily shouted again: "Your dear daughter is back!" Can you leave me food? β
When the words fell, I saw Yun Niang walk out of the main house and said, "Uncle let you go into the house." Then she whispered, "Uncle is very angry, don't contradict him again!" β
The joy on Jiang Han's face disappeared instantly, and before she could speak, her father's usual angry shout had already sounded: "Hurry up and get me in!" β
Jiang Han cautiously walked towards the main house.
At this moment in the hall, her father was sitting on the wooden chair on the left side of the living room with his face down, and there was a tablet in the middle of the table next to it, and a stick was placed next to the tablet.
Standing next to him was Xiao An with a serious face.
Aunt Liu was also there, sitting on the chair on the right, staring at the door with a calm face.
After a while, Yun Niang came back with the black dog Duoduo.
Yun Niang walked up to Xiao An, touched his head, held his hand and stood still.
Duoduo rubbed his leg and stood staring at the door, whining quietly.
As soon as Jiang Han entered the door, he felt a huge pressure coming towards him, and the four pairs of human eyes and a pair of dog eyes in the hall all glared at her.
She subconsciously took a step back, hesitating and refusing to step forward.
"Dad, Auntie!" She squeezed out a smile and whispered.
"Where?"
"I just got home from closing......"
"Dare to lie!" Her dad slapped him on the table.
Jiang Han shuddered, worried that the table would fall apart immediately.
"The king's shopkeeper has already dismissed you, and you actually kept us in the dark!" He slapped the table again, "Say, where have you been fooling around these two days?" β
"I didn't go anywhere, that is, I just went to find out if there was anything else to do......" Jiang Han lowered her head and didn't dare to look at her father.
"Hmph, do you think I'm not going out recently, it's easy to deceive? You've been seen dangling on the docks! When his father said this, he took a deep breath, calmed down the anger in his heart, and said, "If you want to go back to the dock to dart, forget it, you dare to get involved with the little gangsters of the Chen Gang!" - Did I raise you to be a ruffian? β
His father's voice was a little choked up when he said this.
"Dad, who are you listening to nonsense! When did I get involved with the gangsters? I just went to the boy who was arrested with me and asked a few questions! β
"Don't talk back to me! - You roll over for me, kneel down for your mother! β
He felt for the stick and slapped it on the table.
Jiang Han shrunk his neck, stared at the tablet on the table several times, and walked to a place a foot away from the table, and knelt down hesitantly.
"Who are you doing this right? How did I talk to you? I'm not mistaken, right? β
His father swung and swung at her with his stick, but he never struck.
"Again and again, when will you grow up? You're a woman, I don't expect you to be as quiet and well-behaved as Yun Niang, and you can't really think you're a man, right? β
He scolded here, and finally beat it ruthlessly.
"Dad, I'm wronged! Why don't you believe me? Jiang Han wailed.
"Because what you do is a broken word! Because you have white ears, because you don't listen to your father and me! β
Her father hit her three more times on the back before he relented.
He sat back in his chair and looked at her angrily, dropping a heavy blow.
"Tomorrow, you will honestly apologize to the shopkeeper Wang, and beg him to give you another chance to go back to the teahouse to work!"
