Chapter 107 Transition [Fourth Update]
"Aren't you the boss? What's wrong with letting your cousin be a manager?" The cousin said confidently. Seeing Chen Wenjiu's indifferent look, she got angry and said, "They are all relatives. How can you arrange Chen Jiarong and others without thinking about your cousin?"
Grandma Chen said on the side, "Jiarong and others at least have some skills. Jiarong and Jianuo have learned cooking and can help in the restaurant. Xiaohong has also worked as a receptionist for many years. She has this experience."
"What can your third kid do? What your third kid can do is not suitable for our Jiujiu Hotel at all. Why should he go to work in Jiujiu Hotel?"
"Ten thousand a month? Why don't you rob them? Jiarong and others are only more than three thousand a month now. You still want ten thousand? It's faster to dream!" Grandma Chen said fiercely.
Chen Wenjiu couldn't quarrel with the elders directly. The main reason was that she didn't know how to quarrel, so Grandma Chen didn't let her granddaughter fight her cousin, but she fought herself.
"Chen Hongxia, don't say that we are all relatives. If you say so, I will take Jiujiu to live in your house for one or two months, and you can give me 10,000 yuan every month, how about that?" Grandma Chen said.
Cousin Chen Hongxia was immediately angry when Grandma Chen said this, "Aunt, what do you mean? What's wrong with my third child? He is capable and sensible. I feel that he is wronged to let him work in Chen Wenjiu's hotel."
"Wronged? If you feel wronged, don't come. Our temple is too small to accommodate a big Buddha like you!" He rolled his eyes at Chen Hongxia and said, "Get out, get out, you come here so early in the morning to get angry, get out of here!"
Grandma Chen drove Chen Hongxia out. Chen Lu was worried that Grandma Chen would suffer a loss against Chen Hongxia because of her old age, so he watched from the side to prevent Grandma Chen from getting hurt.
Chen Wenjiu looked at the cursing Chen Hongxia, and then looked at the angry Grandma Chen. After driving people away, she quickly comforted her own grandmother.
"Grandma, don't be angry. It's not worth getting angry with your cousin." Chen Wenjiu comforted her. The old lady was old. Although she was in better health now, she couldn't get angry like that. Anger hurts the body.
"Why should I be angry?" Grandma Chen quickly regained her composure. She was not angry at all like when she just drove Chen Hongxia away. She said calmly, "She is neither my daughter nor my daughter-in-law. I only see her a few times a year. Why get angry with her?"
"Let her mother-in-law and her mother worry about her." Grandma Chen looked at Chen Wenjiu and said, "You can't listen to her and let your cousin come to work."
"Don't worry, grandma. I won't hire anyone casually." Chen Wenjiu smiled and assured, "I can't Can you just give someone a monthly salary of 10,000 yuan? "
Grandma Chen nodded and said, "Chen Hongxia is just asking for too much. Don't listen to her nonsense."
Chen Wenjiu smiled and listened to his grandmother. The old lady couldn't help sighing, "Although there are people here who value their daughters more but don't care about them, people like Chen Hongxia are really annoying."
In fact, although there are also people who favor boys over girls in the rural areas of Dongling County, it is actually more serious in another county next door. Chen Wenjiu also heard that they used to abandon baby girls there.
There are not many children abandoned in Dongling County, but that was 20 or 30 years ago. Now there are basically no girls abandoned.
There is almost no phenomenon of favoring boys over girls in Maoyang Village. Although some families keep giving birth to children because they want to have boys, they are very good and loving to their daughters.
Chen Wenjiu doesn't understand why Chen Hongxia's thoughts have become so extreme. She thinks that she is superior because she gave birth to sons and looks down on those who gave birth to daughters.
But isn't she a woman? Does Chen Hongxia look down on herself?
"Your aunt didn't teach her like this. Although Chen Hongxia was not as favored as her brothers, she was not enslaved by her family. How could she develop such a temper?"
"Alas... forget it. It's been almost 30 years. Her temper is already like this. She is over 50 years old. I, an aunt, have no right to manage her affairs."
After saying that, Grandma Chen continued to chat with Chen Wenjiu about other things in the village, such as whose wife was pregnant, whose child was about to be full-month old, and how much money whose child made, etc.
Chen Wenjiu just smiled when she listened. After the old lady had said enough, she accompanied the old lady to eat. Unexpectedly, she chatted with the old lady for a whole morning.
Chen Wenjiu accompanied the old lady for a whole morning. After having lunch with grandpa and grandma at noon, she returned to the hotel.
The hotel has other employees, so Chen Wenjiu doesn't need to keep an eye on the hotel all the time. She doesn't have much to do when she returns to the hotel now.
So Chen Wenjiu hid in her home and read books. She spent the whole afternoon reading books. Occasionally, she played casual games on her mobile phone to pass the time when she relaxed. Time passed quickly.
In the evening, Chen Wenjiu was free and went downstairs to continue watching TV series in the lobby with Wei Xiaohong who was on the night shift.
They didn't watch new dramas now, but TV series from 20 or 30 years ago. It was also very good to revisit the classic TV series of that time.
Chen Wenjiu sat on the sofa in the lobby, and Wei Xiaohong sat behind the counter watching TV together. At this time, a girl in exquisite ancient costumes walked in from outside the store.
The girl was wearing a very exquisite silk palace dress, with red and black fabric dotted with gold. You can tell from the workmanship that this dress is very valuable.
The girl's dress was red and black, but the most common color was red, with black and gold edging. The workmanship was very delicate, and it looked like a real ancient costume.
Wei Xiaohong would pay attention to the guests from time to time when watching TV, and this guest who just came in made her notice it quickly.
Because the clothes the girl was wearing were really very exquisite, even someone like her who didn't have much research on ancient costumes and Hanfu could see at a glance that this dress was beautiful and definitely valuable.
The girl's hair was tied into a very beautiful bun, and she wore golden red hairpins and other hair accessories, and she was dressed very solemnly.
The main reason was that the girl was too beautiful. Wei Xiaohong felt that this palace dress girl was comparable to Gu Xi, whom she had met before, and they were both the kind of beauties who attracted countless people's attention at a glance.
The woman in palace dress was on guard as soon as she entered the store, and her face became even uglier when she saw the TV series on the huge screen on the wall.
She was obviously frightened, but she still tried not to react too much. Her face was a little pale, but she tried not to show her fear.
"Hello, welcome to Wenjiu Inn. Are you staying or eating?" Wei Xiaohong couldn't help but soften her voice and asked.
