Reborn in the 1970s, remarried to a powerful but childless man, her scumbag husband is furious.

Chapter 191 Everyone Received Their Wages

"Although Zhu Chao and I are divorced, Xiao Ya still considers him her father and her feelings for him haven't changed. Since seeing that scene yesterday, she hasn't said a word when she got back."

Sister-in-law Wang couldn't help but sigh again as she finished speaking.

Upon hearing this, Wenrou stepped forward, reached out and pulled Xiaoya up from the ground.

Although she already knew that Zhu Chao and Sun Mei were both scoundrels, she never expected him to be this scoundrel.

Xiao Ya is still his own daughter, yet he's willing to accept a stranger's son and won't even glance at her.

Such a person is not fit to be a father.

"Little girl, listen to this, Zhu Chao doesn't deserve to be your father. Treat him the way he treats you now, and from now on, your only family will be your mother. The Zhu family will have nothing to do with you anymore, so don't have any hope for them. That way, you won't be so heartbroken."

Wenrou reached out and patted the little girl's head. Although these words were a bit cruel to a child, this was what she had to face now, and she would understand when she grew up.

Zhu Chao and Sun Mei will pay the price for their actions sooner or later. It's better for Xiao Ya to realize the truth about people like them sooner rather than later.

Hearing the gentle words, Xiaoya nodded.

"I understand, thank you, Auntie Gentle."

"Go play, sweetie." She gently reached out and fixed her hair before smiling.

"Thank you so much, little sister." Sister Wang was very grateful that Wenrou had made the little girl better with just a few words.

Looking gently at Sister Wang, she thought that she was only in her thirties and there was no need for her life to end because of the Zhu family.

So he asked with concern, "Sister-in-law, are you planning to raise Xiaoya alone from now on? There are plenty of good men in this world besides Wang Chao."

"I'm already like this, what man would want me?" Sister Wang had never thought about such things.

Sometimes, when she looks at herself in the mirror, she feels so ashamed that she can't even lift her head.

Her skin was dark and yellow, making her look several years older than her actual age. She didn't know how to dress or make men happy.

In addition, she's divorced and has a daughter; what good man would want someone like her?

Wenrou sensed the inferiority complex in Wang's words and advised, "Sister-in-law, please don't say that. You can earn money, cook, and manage the household so well. You're so capable, how could you worry about not finding a good man? Not all men are like Zhu Chao. Don't let the past events involving the Zhu family affect you."

Hearing the gentle words, Sister Wang was still not convinced that she was as good as the woman said, but she was very grateful.

"Thank you so much, little sister. I think things are fine as they are now. We can talk about the future later."

Wenrou listened to her words and didn't try to persuade her any further.

She took out some money from her pocket, counted out thirty yuan, and handed it to her, saying, "Sister-in-law, this is your salary for this month."

"Didn't we just get paid yesterday? Why are we getting paid again?"

Sister-in-law Wang was stunned. She had just received forty yuan yesterday. Originally, it was thirty yuan, but Wenrou gave her an extra ten yuan, saying it was a reward for her.

"This is the transport team's salary. You've done a great job in the kitchen lately," Wenrou said with a smile, stuffing the money into her hand.

Sister Wang held the money in her hand; adding the forty yuan she earned yesterday, she had made a total of seventy yuan.

In the past, she would never have believed this; it was more than she had earned growing mushrooms herself.

"Sister, this...you've given me way too much. I already took yesterday's wages, so you should take this back." Seeing that Wenrou had given her so much all at once, Sister Wang quickly returned it.

Besides, she knows her own abilities; it's just cooking and leading people to grow mushrooms.

She doesn't know anything else, unlike Wenrou and the others who can drive and do business.

Besides, the transport team has just been established, and Wenrou is short of money right now. She doesn't feel at ease taking so much money by herself.

With a gentle smile, she pushed the money back to her, saying, "Don't worry about it. Once our transport team's business improves, the wages will definitely increase."

Hearing Wenrou say this, Sister-in-law Wang had no choice but to accept the money.

However, she also knew in her heart that without gentleness, her life would not be getting better and better.

Therefore, she was very grateful to Wenrou and was even more determined to do her job well in the future.

After paying Wang's wife's salary, Wenrou asked Wu Li to call everyone over and pay them their salaries according to the previous agreement.

Of course, even Wen Jiguang, who had only been there for a few days, received a salary, which, although not much, gave him a lot of confidence.

The moment everyone received their wages, their faces beamed with undisguised joy.

Wenrou was happy for them when she saw this.

"This is the result of our joint efforts. In addition to your wages, here is a bonus I have prepared for you. Each of you will receive an extra thirty yuan as a reward."

As she spoke gently, she instructed Wu Li to distribute the rewards to everyone, so that each of them would receive a hundred yuan in wages this time.

In this day and age, earning a monthly salary of one hundred yuan was something they would never have dared to dream of in the past.

But now they have actually obtained it, and they have it in their hands right now.

They originally came here because of Hao Gang, but now, because of Wenrou, they are even more willing to work for her.

"Everyone, take a day off tomorrow and come back to work the day after tomorrow," Wenrou said gently after handing out salaries.

Hearing that they could get a break, everyone became even more excited.

Like Xiao Lin, they all came to work with Hao Gang because of a single sentence he said.

Since everyone is out working to earn money, I won't treat them unfairly.

Knowing that they would send their wages home as soon as they received them, she gave them a day off tomorrow.

"Alright, everyone get back to work."

After everyone left, Wenrou handed another envelope to Wu Li.

"Thanks to you for helping me take care of them during this time, here is your salary."

Wenrou didn't forget Wu Li either. Although he hadn't retired from the army and was still recovering from his injuries, he had been working part-time training new recruits during this time, which was quite an achievement.

"I...I get a salary too?" Wu Li hadn't expected that he could receive a salary.

"Consider this your wages for this part-time job. Take it."

She was really grateful to Wu Li during this time; otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to find anyone to train them.

Wu Li opened the envelope, counted the money—exactly two hundred yuan, no more, no less.

"This...this is too much." He was stunned, not expecting Wenrou to offer him such a high salary.

Everyone else received 100 yuan, but he received 200 yuan, which was equivalent to more than three months of his military allowance.

"It's not much, you can handle it," she said with a gentle smile.

If it weren't for Wu Li, her transport team wouldn't have been able to get running so quickly.

The last envelope was for Hao Gang.

She's not usually in the transport team; Hao Gang manages things for her.

Although it was agreed beforehand that he would be paid 100 yuan a month, the fact that their transportation team's first order went so smoothly is also inseparable from his hard work.

Wenrou gave him 600 yuan directly, 100 yuan of which was his basic salary and the other 500 yuan was a bonus.

Hao Gang was stunned and stood there in shock when he received the salary that Wenrou had given him.

"Sister-in-law, how...how come there's so much money?"

In those days, six hundred yuan was equivalent to tens of thousands of yuan in later times, so it's no wonder Hao Gang was so shocked.

"Not much. As agreed before, there will be more bonuses and rewards as our transportation team becomes more profitable."

Since leaving the army, he never imagined that he would one day be so valuable.

He chose to follow Wenrou because he believed in her abilities and also because he wanted to stay here.

At that time, he never imagined that he would earn so much money.

"Xiao Wan is almost due, right? There will be a lot of expenses after the baby is born, so don't hold it against me. This is all what you, as the general manager, deserve."

Hearing Wenrou's words, Hao Gang was even more moved.

After his accident, Xiao Wan, who was pregnant, not only had to take care of the family affairs, but also had to go to school.

He was always worried that he would be a burden to her, but she would always smile and comfort him.

The moment he received the money, Hao Gang finally regained some confidence, which made him even more convinced that he would definitely give Xiao Wan and the child a better life.

After leaving Hao Gang's office, Wen Rou ran into Wen Jiguang.

"Little sister."

Today was the happiest day of his life, and it was the first time he had received such a high salary. He was overjoyed.

"Big brother, I was just about to come find you," Wenrou said with a smile when she saw Wen Jiguang.

"Wait a moment." After she finished speaking, she went over and brought over all the gifts she had bought for Wen Jiguang and Liu Xiaoyu.

Wen Jiguang led her to a row of dormitories behind the transport team. He, Liu Xiaoyu, and the child lived in a single room next door, which was fully equipped with everything.

"Xiao Rou." Liu Xiaoyu saw Wen Rou arrive and hurriedly welcomed her in.

"How are you doing here? Are you settling in? Let me know if you need anything."

This was the first time Wenrou had come here since they moved in.

Liu Xiaoyu was very satisfied. "It's already very good. We don't need anything else."

Wenrou could tell she was genuinely happy; she couldn't hide the smile on her face.

The couple earned a total of over eighty yuan this time. Although they had only been here for a short time and couldn't earn as much as others, it was already very good, much better than what they had in the countryside.

The moment Liu Xiaoyu received the money, she was incredibly excited.

She saved seventy yuan, and used the remaining ten-odd yuan as living expenses for her family.

Prices here are not expensive, and it's close to town, so she goes shopping in town with Sister Wang whenever she has free time.

Although the environment here is not as good as in the countryside, with a lot of wind, sand and dust, none of that matters.

As long as we can make money and be together as a family, what's a little hardship?

"Big brother, this is for you. Try it on and see if it fits." Wenrou took out the clothes that were meant for Wen Jiguang and handed them to him.

She didn't know Wen Jiguang's size, but seeing that he and Huo Yanchuan were about the same size, she bought him the same size as Huo Yanchuan.

Wen Jiguang was taken aback, then hurriedly pushed the clothes back, saying, "I have clothes to wear, you should take them back and return them."

He didn't expect Wenrou to buy him clothes, and judging from the clothes, they must be expensive, so he felt awkward accepting them.

"Yes, Xiaorou, your older brother has clothes to wear. Besides, you just paid us our wages and then bought us clothes. It's too expensive. You should take them back and return them," Liu Xiaoyu chimed in.

Besides, they're making money now, and if they want to buy clothes, they can buy them with their own money. They really don't want Wenrou to spend money.

"This dress is already bought and can't be returned. It's just a dress, why are you being so polite with me?"

Wenrou insisted on giving the clothes to Wen Jiguang, and then took out a dress from her pocket and handed it to Liu Xiaoyu.

"Sister-in-law, you have one too. I spotted this dress at first glance. It would definitely suit you perfectly."

Liu Xiaoyu was surprised that Wenrou had bought her a dress, and hurriedly waved her hand, saying, "How can I accept this? Besides, I've never worn a dress before. You should take it back and wear it yourself."

Seeing that neither of them would accept the clothes, Wenrou said, "What's wrong with me buying clothes for my family? We're all family, why are you making such a big deal out of it with me?"

"Besides, I used to get into trouble a lot when I was little, and my older brother always cleaned up my messes. We didn't have the means back then, but now that I'm earning money, I just wanted to buy something for my family. This is just a small token of my appreciation, so please accept it."

Hearing Wenrou's words, Wen Jiguang was reminded of many things from the past.

"Then...then we'll accept it. This is the last time. Don't waste money like this in the future. You, Yanchuan, and the two children need money too. Don't waste money on us anymore."

Wen Jiguang knew Wenrou's gentle nature; if they didn't accept the gifts today, she would definitely get angry.

Seeing this, Liu Xiaoyu had no choice but to accept the dress that Wenrou had bought for her.

This was the first time she had ever worn a skirt, and she felt very awkward and uncomfortable in it.

"Maybe I should change."

Liu Xiaoyu was really not used to it. Although the dress was indeed very beautiful, she, who did farm work all day, did not deserve such a beautiful dress. Moreover, she was worried that she would get such a nice dress dirty.

Wenrou reached out to stop her, "Why take it off, sister-in-law? You look great in this dress. Now that you don't have to work, just keep it on."

Seeing that Liu Xiaoyu looked much prettier in the dress, Wen Jiguang said, "Wife, just wear it. Now that we're making money, I'll buy you a few more dresses later so you can change them up."

Liu Xiaoyu was happy to hear Wen Jiguang's words, but she still couldn't bear to part with him.

"Why spend that money? Do you have too much money to burn?"

They were used to living in poverty, and now that they've suddenly earned so much money, they're reluctant to spend it and want to save it all.
