After Transmigrating, The Fat Wife Made A Comeback!

Chapter 1125 It Is Settled

?

Qiao Mei really liked people who were confident and honest. What Feng Hua said indeed made her feel very interested. She was very curious to know the extent of Feng Hua's capability to say that she could comfortably go through her confinement period and that her children would receive the best care and education. She did not expect the nannies of this era to have such advanced knowledge and abilities.

"Then what about you, how much do you want?" Qiao Mei turned to look at Wei Hao and asked her.

Wei Hao did not hesitate and said frankly, "50 dollars."

This piqued Qiao Mei's interest. Under normal circumstances, since Feng Hua had asked for a salary of 120 dollars a month, the next person would either ask for the same amount or thereabout. At the very least, it was unlikely to be lower than 100 dollars. However, Wei Hong immediately quoted a figure that was less than half of Feng Hua's salary.

Could it be that this person had other intentions? Or was she a fool?

"Why aren't you asking for more?" Qiao Mei asked.

"That's because my work is only worth that much. I must describe my capability honestly. I haven't been in this line of work for very long and I've only worked for three families before this. I definitely don't have as much experience as Sister Feng Hua. My best skill is cooking. As for cleaning the house and washing the clothes, that's the basics and nothing to shout about. Therefore, I'm fine with 50 dollars," Wei Hong said humbly.

Qiao Mei nodded in satisfaction and then looked at Shen Gui. He had an obtuse look on his face, as if he was not interested in anything other than flowers and plants. She caught him staring at the asparagus fern on her desk for a long time.

"Do you… think my asparagus fern is not nice?" Qiao Mei asked curiously.

"No, no! It's too nice! I've never seen such beautiful asparagus fern! It's just that it's not trimmed properly often enough, so the shape isn't beautiful enough," Shen Gui said with a hint of pity in his voice.

"Then what are you expecting with regard to salary?" Qiao Mei asked.

"I'm fine with the amount as long as it's enough for my living expenses," Shen Gui said with a smile.

As the other two helpers were women, they could live in Qiao Mei's house. There was no use for a live-in gardener. He just needed to come and take care of the plants twice a week. There was no need for him to come over every day.

"How about this? Sister Feng and Sister Wei, you'll get the amounts you ask for. As for Shen Gui… you can come three times a week on Monday, Thursday and Saturday. You'll be paid 6 dollars per session. We'll talk about your main responsibilities when you start work. I'll make a list for you by then. I don't just have flowers and plants in this courtyard, there's also flowers and plants in the backyard. Your job is to take care of everything," Qiao Mei said after careful consideration.

Everyone was very satisfied. There was no need for them to start work today. Qiao Mei chose a room in the front yard for the two helpers to stay in. There were two beds, two desks and two closets in the room, which was definitely enough for the two of them. When the time came, Feng Hua would be the one to follow her to Xu Lan's place.

"Auntie Fan, are you leaving now? Aren't you going to stay with me for a while longer?" Qiao Mei said reluctantly.

"Your mother is still waiting for me at home! If I don't go back soon, she'll starve to death. I'll bring you delicious food next time." Sister Fan patted Qiao Mei's head and got into the car to go home.

Tonight was the last time that Xia He needed to help Li Gui with the cooking. They had helpers at home now! She would no longer have to do all these tiring chores!

She even hummed a tune as she cooked, wanting everyone to know how happy she was.

The next day, Xia He woke up on time and got ready to go to the art troupe. It had already been so many days and she still did not know what had happened to Yang Xin. She decided to deliver some materials to the art troupe and take a look at what was going on.

Deng Fan was still the first person to arrive at the art troupe. After Yang Xin was not around, the atmosphere in the entire practice studio became much better. Everyone was hard at work and diligently practicing their basic skills.

Their biggest opponent, Yang Xin, had an injured ankle and definitely could not go on stage. In addition, Xia He had made it clear that she did not want to participate in this performance. Therefore, the main role would go to one of them. They definitely wanted to seize this opportunity and perform on stage. If they did well, then this would be the chance for them to make a name for themselves!

At that time, not only would there be an additional salary for the performance, but the benefits would also be huge. It was definitely much better than just practicing basic skills in the practice studio every day.
