Chapter 1031: Chapter 1036: Luo Qingfeng’s Arch-Enemy
Qiao Duo’er stated truthfully, "Those who have worked diligently for more than two years can receive a month’s wage."
That would be a little over one tael.
"That’s too much!"
"Right, who gives out so much silver for the New Year? It’s terrifying!"
While everyone was still discussing the feasibility of this matter, Fat Aunt and Chao Lian began distributing wages, year-end bonuses, and festival gifts.
They wanted to finish early so that Duo’er could go home to rest sooner.
Although the courtyard was already cleaned, it was still not suitable for exertion.
This time, everyone received two money bags, and upon comparison, it was found that the year-end bonus was at least half of the wages, meaning they had received at least one and a half months’ wages!
It has to be said that the Tan Family’s treatment was really too good!
"Those who’ve got their money bags, keep them safe. We’ll clean the Embroidery Room and then take a holiday. Those who want to buy jewelry should buy jewelry, and those who need to buy clothes for their children should buy clothes, but don’t forget to come back to work on the sixth day of the new year,"
Fat Aunt reminded.
After distributing the festival gifts, Qiao Duo’er hurried home, otherwise the two little ones would not find her and might start throwing tantrums.
But at the doorway, she was stopped by a young girl.
"I caught this man lurking around your home; he was sneaking about, so I grabbed him," the young girl said proudly.
Despite her youth, she was quite skilled.
Qiao Duo’er glanced at the man restrained by the young girl and immediately expressed her gratitude, "Thank you, young lady."
Because the man caught was none other than Zhu Jianzhi, who had wronged her last time, and now he was loitering around Tan’s Shop again, probably up to no good.
"I’m not a young lady, my name is Lu Ke-kun. You can just call me Ke-kun,"
Qiao Duo’er readily nodded, "I am Qiao Duo’er. Please come inside and sit."
"No need, I’m here looking for Luo Qingfeng. Is he inside?"
Qiao Duo’er blinked her eyes, suddenly realizing that this was the girl who Luo Qingfeng had peeked at while she was bathing.
She didn’t expect her to actually chase him all the way to the Tan Family’s premises; she was indeed persistent.
But then again, Luo Qingfeng’s taste was really poor.
The girl was lively and cute. Marrying her would surely be endlessly delightful, but he, on the other hand, acted like he was avoiding a ghost.
Qiao Duo’er invited Lu Ke-kun inside, then asked Granny Su, "Has Luo Qingfeng come by today?"
"No," Granny Su truthfully replied.
Apart from Hu’s Clan and Feng Clan, who sent over two sets of children’s clothes, no one else had visited.
"You’re not lying to me, are you?" Lu Ke-kun asked threateningly.
But she was just a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl, and no matter how threatening she tried to appear, she still exuded a bit of charm and cuteness.
This was worlds apart from the crazy woman and fury that Luo Qingfeng had described.
Granny Su hastened to respond, "I dare not lie, I truly haven’t seen Young Master Luo."
"I believe you. I want to ask you for a favor; could you provide me a room and keep it a secret?" Lu Ke-kun looked at Qiao Duo’er expectantly.
Luo Qingfeng knew Qiao Duo’er and had once hidden here, so if she just waited here, she could surely catch that despicable man!
Qiao Duo’er cautioned, "Ke-kun, you should be more cautious being alone outside."
To ask for accommodation merely minutes after meeting her was indeed bold.
"Don’t worry, if you dare touch me..." Lu Ke-kun quickly changed her tone, "Never mind, just treat me well and I definitely won’t let you down."
She even pulled out a silver note from her sleeve to make Qiao Duo’er trust her.
One thousand taels should be enough to cover the room fee.
