Novel Full Chapter 1168: A great harvest (2)
Yu Dong shook her head when she heard Ye Liu’s exclamation but at the same time, she was glad that he was having fun.
” Did… Did I do something good?” While she was looking at the trees that were being taken up by the mercenaries, she heard a small voice coming from behind and then turned her head around such that she could see Sun Jie who was following her like a little tail.
She smiled at him and reached her hand out such that she could pat him on the head and nodded, ” Well you did a good job finding this place, when I earn money from these things then I will buy you something good or do you want to receive shares?”
” What are shares?” Sun Jie asked and Yu Dong scolded herself for being too stupid. How could Sun Jie even know what shares were? She thought about it for a while and then explained it in terms that he could understand, “It is like a reward. Since you have done something good then you should receive rewards, right? A share is like that.
You will receive a reward every month in the form of money and you can use the money that you receive as you like.”
Sun Jie’s eyes lit up when he heard that he could receive rewards every month and even more so when he heard that he would be able to receive money! He had never received money in his entire life, he did not even see what a silver tael looked like but he did know that it was really important and his father really wanted to save some money for him.
” C…can I receive it?” Sun Jie asked hesitantly with a nervous expression. ” It’s so important, am I worthy of it?”
Yu Dong felt amused as well as sympathetic towards Sun Jie. He was a really good mer but because of having a mother like Madam Sun, his entire life had been ruined. If he had received treatment at the right time then he would have been saved from being reduced to an idiot but that woman ruined his life completely.
She patted him on the head and then nodded before saying, ” Of course you can. Even Mai receives three taels as pocket money every month.”
Yu Dong learned a few things from her grandfather who despite being a useless prick was a rather good caretaker. He told her that if one wanted to grow confidence in the hearts of their kids, they needed to hand them money and teach them how to take care of the money.
As long as a child learns how to take care of money, his confidence will surely grow as even as children, the young ones knew that money was an important thing and when they saw their parents handing them such an important thing they would feel confident and valued.
Though she felt a bit awkward using the same trick on Sun Jie as she used on Yu Mai, Yu Dong was willing to use it as she did not want Sun Jie to stay in the shadow of his past.
When Sun Jie heard that he was going to receive the money he cheered up. He clapped his hands and then said to Yu Dong, ” I will bring my daddy to the doctor, his back is hurting all the time but he does not go to the town because he says that we have no money.”
” And I will buy shoes for Daddy Yi, he always mends his old shoes and wears them for a long time but he buys new ones for us, for daddy Shi, I will buy him an ointment for burns.
He is so clumsy he always burns himself when he is cooking, his hands are covered in various scars and …and I will also mend the roof of my house, it always leaks,” however in the middle of his yammering he realized that so many things would require a lot of money and thus turned to look at Yu Dong before asking with some slight hesitation,
” I…I can do it with my pocket money?”
Yu Dong chuckled lightly before saying, ” Yes, you can. Maybe you might be able to build a house as well for your daddies.”
Since Sun Jie was the one who found these fruits, Yu Dong was going to make sure that his small desires came true.
….
The mercenaries brought the trees to the Yu family’s house without damaging anything and as a reward Yu Dong decided to hand them a dish of meat, she was not an unreasonable boss as long as someone did a good job, she would surely reward them. Discover exclusive tales at M-V-L
” Dong Dong, why did you bring these wilted plants with you? What are you thinking of doing with them?” Shen Li asked as he looked at the rotten trees that were on the verge of dying, even if they were to prune their leaves and take care of them, nothing was going to change!
Yu Dong smiled at him as she washed her hands and then replied, ” I am going to open a bakery in the mall.”
At the mer bar, she usually offered small fruit cakes but with these things in her hands, she would be able to open a bakery in the mall. Not only did she find cocoa and fruits but also a plant that smelled quite similar to vanilla. She would use it to extract the vanilla scent and then use it to bake cakes.
With this plan, she was sure that she would be able to earn a decent sum as the officials and their kids might not be able to withstand the charm of a cake!
” A what?” Shen Li frowned as he turned around and looked at Yu Dong with confusion written on his face. ” What are you going to do?”
” A bakery, it’s a place where we will sell cakes,” Yu Dong explained to Shen Li whose frown only deepened even more as he did not think that cakes could sell well. After all, how many moon cakes and whatnot were sold in the town already?
