After talking about the landlord, Zhang Xu said to me again: "Wen Li, you said that we live so much now, should we hire someone?" How tired are the two of us? Hire more people, and we won't be so tired. Anyway, if there is no work in the store, you can go to the garment factory and get more. It's easier for us to hire someone ourselves, and maybe we can earn a little more. “
In fact, Zhang Xu said that I didn't think about hiring people. Because when I went to get a job, the proprietress used to tell me that if I could find someone, let me find a few more people, and she could give me more work.
But I've been thinking about this for a long time, and I still don't think it's reliable. Because there is a lot of work in the garment factory now, there may be no order one day. Or maybe there are fewer orders. When her own workers don't have any work, how can she give us work?
Because I didn't make up my mind, I didn't mention it to Zhang Xu. Now Zhang Xu said that he wanted to hire someone. So I said, "Actually, I've thought about it, but I don't guarantee that the garment factory will always provide me with work, so I don't want to add more people yet." And if you hire someone, the cost will increase a lot, for example, we need to pay for the machine, and you have to provide for other people's food. That's a lot of things. Now the wages are very high. And it's not easy to find sewing workers nowadays. We're just getting started. So let's do it for a year and a half first, and then see how it goes. ”
"Just hire someone and don't need to add a machine first." Zhang Xu said.
"Why do you hire someone without adding machines?" I asked, a little puzzled.
"Help us do some odd jobs, such as those who come to change clothes, you can help us dismantle them, and those who come to buy cloth can help us sell some cloth or something. Like I can do all these jobs? “
"You can do all this work, do you still need to hire people?" I couldn't understand what Zhang Xu said. We are not here to make big deals and make a lot of money. Do you have to hire people to earn this little money?
"Besides, how much do you hire people to give people for this little odd job?" I said again.
"I can only do these odd jobs for you when you get off work, and I can't do much. When I get to work, if someone helps you do some odd jobs, won't you do the work faster? Zhang Xu said.
"You're right, but you can't pay anyone for such a job. If we give too much, we might as well not hire people, and if we give too little, no one will do it. I said.
"You can't think like that, hiring someone is not only to help you do some odd jobs, but when you go to the garment factory to get a job, there is also someone to show you the store?" Zhang Xu said.
What Zhang Xu said surprised me even more, he has always been a very suspicious person, how can he rest assured that the store will be in the hands of others?
"Zhang Xu, isn't this like what you said?" I say.
"How?"
"You have always been such a careful person, no matter what you do, you are wary of others, and now you say hire someone, and then when I go to the garment factory to get a job, let someone else show us the store, then you are not afraid of hiring this person? Will it make our money? If she sells five meters of cloth, she says she sold three meters, you know? ”
"So, the person hired has to be his own person." Zhang Xu said.
"Your own people? How can you be considered your own person? I asked Zhang Xu very puzzled.
"We don't hire others, hire my second sister, let my second sister do some odd jobs for you, and you don't have to lock the door when you go to get the job, she can help you watch the store here, how good do you think?" And my second sister is here, you can eat anything, if you don't like to cook, you can let the second sister cook. How good is that? As for the salary, if you give more or less, the second sister will not choose. She didn't have anything to do at home anyway. She's here, we're also convenient, and she still earns some money, is it better than letting others earn money? ”
Finally got to the point, it turned out that Zhang Xu had done so much foreshadowing, and the purpose was just to let his second sister come over. It's no wonder that Zhang Xu keeps saying that I'm stupid, I'm really stupid, when Zhang Xu said that he wanted to hire someone, I never dreamed that he was for his second sister.
Speaking from the heart, if it was in the past, I would really listen to Zhang Xu's words, ask her second sister to help us watch the store, and then do some odd jobs. As he said, whoever is hired is hired anyway. It's better to let your sister earn some money.
In the past, even if the work was not very good, as long as I could get a job in the garment factory, I would rather take more work and let her come over to do some work, and I didn't make any money, so I would have regarded it as a favor for her and found her some work.
But not now, since the time we went to her house to open a store, I wasn't angry that she wouldn't let me use her house. Because it's someone else's house, whether you rent it or not, people talk to you or not. I'm angry that your family doesn't want us to use the house, but they came to my house and cried, and Zhang Xu beat me half to death for this matter.
No matter how stupid I am, I don't care, but I didn't forget about it so quickly. If I let her come over again, it will be really easier to please God. If she comes, we will be together every day, and it is inevitable that there will be times when there is a disagreement, or something that is not done properly, which may cause unpleasantness. At that time, maybe Zhang Xu and I will fight again because of her. I don't want to suffer any more of this.
Because Zhang Xu's second sister Zhang Qing is really not a fuel-efficient lamp. At the beginning, she belittled Zhang Xu's ex-wife to worthless in front of me. Later, because of her, I was beaten half to death by Zhang Xu. Through these things, I think she is really the kind of-stirring stick, and she goes to her mother's house for a while to stir up when she has nothing to do.
Zhang Xu's eldest brother and sister-in-law are in love, but she can't get along. But Zhang Xu listened to her for everything, so she could only come to stir up Zhang Xu's home.
"Zhang Xu, it's not that I don't want the second sister to come, I just think that although we are busy now, maybe there won't be so much work in the next stage. If you let the second sister come, and there is no work for just a few days, do you let the second sister do it here, or don't you let the second sister do it? Besides, although she is your second sister, it's not good to give less? Let others say that we use people for nothing, how ugly is it to say it? I said to Zhang Xu euphemistically.
"It's okay, the second sister won't say anything if you give more or less. I don't know my own second sister yet? Just your dirty heart, thinking about things that are useless. Zhang Xu was obviously a little unhappy.
Although I know that I refuse now, Zhang Xu will definitely be unhappy. But a long pain is better than a short pain, and it is better to annoy him once than to let him be annoyed a hundred times. If I refuse now, Zhang Xu will be angry again, and it will be over in a few days. But if I let Zhang Qing come, I don't know how many times I will get angry in the future? If she doesn't like me, or if she doesn't like her, she will stir up trouble in front of Zhang Xu if she has something to do, and when she comes back, Zhang Xu will fight with me again, won't I find an ancestor for myself? I don't think it's too late to hide from her? How dare you provoke her?
"Zhang Xu, I don't know what you think. But in my opinion, I really can't ask the second sister to help. Haven't you heard that phrase? Relatives and friends do not move money, and they do not move money. Although your second sister is good to you, if we want to earn money, you can give her some if you have that intention. But we can't invite her to us. If you're too tired, I'd rather do less work. ”
Zhang Xu saw that my attitude was very resolute, and he probably felt that it would be useless for him to say anything. So although I was very unhappy, I still didn't say any more.
After thinking for a while, he said, "Whatever you want, what do you like." ”
In the end, Zhang Xu and I were a little unhappy because of this incident. It's a bit of a displeasure. But anyway, the second sister Zhang Xu, the person who stirred up right and wrong, finally didn't come, and I was relieved. I really don't dare to provoke them anymore. Because I still want to live a life of silence.
