They were only a hundred steps away from the village entrance.
“Alright, alright, alright.” Tian took the four coins and continued to drive the ox cart forward.
Xue Yifu subconsciously went to help carry the jar in Xue Sifu’s hands.
His big brother usually took good care of his little brother, and the earthen jar wasn’t heavy, so Xue Sifu let his big brother carry it over. He said, “This is the restaurant’s leftovers again.”
Even the leftovers in the restaurant were delicious, so Xue Yifu and Li Hehua were naturally happy that they could eat such good food at home again tonight. However, the two of them couldn’t help but worry. “You’re taking food from the restaurant again, will your manager scold you? Next time, don’t take it back.”
There was a tree right next to them, and the shade was enough to cover everyone from the sun. They stood under the shade and were not in a hurry to go back.
“It’s fine. If I don’t take it back, they’ll throw away the leftovers.” Xue Sifu said. “MY manager knows about this. Today, he specially asked the kitchen to give me more leftovers. There was more than half a duck in it. He said that I should quit. I’ve been in the restaurant for more than three years and I’m the most diligent one there. He gave me the rest of the leftovers to lessen the decision.”
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan both knew that Xue Sifu was a very opinionated person, so they weren’t surprised at all when they suddenly heard that he wasn’t going to work in the restaurant anymore.
On the other hand, Xue Yifu and Li Hehua were so shocked that they immediately asked, “Why are you quitting? How many people are working in the restaurant?”
Xue Sifu laughed, “Xue Yan can make 500 coins by copying a book. It doesn’t even take a few days. My monthly salary is only 450 coins. Anyway, I can’t continue working anymore. I have to find something else to do. It’s better than this and I can earn more money somewhere else. It’s not like I’ll work there forever, I won’t be able to do it for many years. I can’t do this for my entire life, so sooner or later, I’ll have to come back and find something else to do.”
“That’s true,” Xue Yifu and Li Hehua both felt that it made sense, so they didn’t say anything else.
However, Xue Yan knew that Sifu was not speaking the whole truth.
That was, when he heard that his family wanted to provide for his education, he immediately went to the restaurant in town with Sanfu to find a job without saying anything. However, only Sifu stayed at the restaurant at that time.
Now that he had stopped studying, Sifu did not need to spend any money on the family for the time being. It was as if Sifu was free and wanted to do what he wanted to do.
In his previous life, Sifu’s life… No, everyone’s life in the family revolved around him. In this life, he wanted everyone in the family to have their own lives.
“Sifu, you said you want to find something else to do. Have you ever thought about what kind of thing you want to do?” Xue Yan asked.
“Not yet, ” Xue Sifu said with a smile. “But I want to start a small business. If I can open a stall in town, it will earn more than me as a waiter. Anyway, we’ll see. It’s just an idea and I haven’t thought of a business yet.”
Business?
Xue Yan suddenly had a flashback.
It was as if he had returned to his previous life.
In his previous life, Sifu managed his family’s assets after he became an official. Sifu had used his family’s assets to do business and made his family’s assets grow. In the end, the family’s wealth could be comparable to a country’s.
Sifu was extremely talented in doing business.
