Don't think of rebirth.

Chapter 507 Sisters

"Hey, isn't that right?" Zhang Yong counted the banknotes in his hand, and when he raised his head, his brows were furrowed.

"Why is my salary two hundred less than usual?" He said as he stood in front of the foreman who was distributing wages.

Most workers' wages are paid monthly, and after they initially sign the contract, their wages will be deferred normally if there are no problems.

If something happens, just take normal leave within the scope of the contract.

However, there are also some workers who just come to work for a while when the farm work in the village is not busy.

In this case, Lianjia will calculate the workers' remuneration based on the number of days they actually work.

Although Zhang Yong does not do farm work, he also uses this settlement method.

The foreman glanced at Zhang Yong and said, "Your money is short. Why don't you look for the reason yourself?"

Zhang Yong choked and became embarrassed when he noticed the gazes of the workers around him.

But this is two hundred dollars! Throwing it on the card table is enough for him to play for a long time!

He stiffened his neck and asked, "What reason could I have?"

The foreman was amused by his rogue appearance and slowly opened the notebook in his hand: "At 5 am on May 7, Zhang Yong went to the toilet and did not come back. He only worked for 10 hours that day."

"At 5:8 a.m. on May 11, Zhang Yong came to the kitchen to eat lunch. After lunch, he said he had something to do at home and left. He did not work that day..."

As soon as she finished reading two sentences, Zhang Yong's face flushed red, and he reached out to cover the notebook with his hand and said, "What are you reading? Stop reading!"

The foreman was not annoyed and took back the notebook: "Didn't you ask me the reason? Is it clear now?"

Zhang Yong felt like the other workers were laughing at him. He muttered, “It wasn’t like this before…”

"In the past, that was because the boss was a good person. But the flower business has been bad in the past two years. For someone like you, you're considered a good person even if the boss didn't let you go." The foreman looked at him with contempt.

"You earn how much money you earn based on how much work you do. If you don't work and still want to get paid? You're dreaming!"

The workers nearby started whistling. Zhang Yong had been cheating for a long time, but everyone was getting paid, so no one said anything.

This time the foreman suddenly became tough, and it was obvious that Lian Qiumang didn't intend to indulge Zhang Yong, so the workers didn't mind watching the joke.

Zhang Yong's face turned even redder, and even his neck began to turn red: "Who is not working? I was absent for a day or two because of something."

He turned around and walked away, still muttering, "It's just two hundred dollars, why make such a fuss..."

The foreman rolled his eyes at the boss and asked, "Who was the one who first grabbed the two hundred dollars?"

Zhang Yong was so inconsistent that he didn't even think it was his own problem when he was paid less. He even came to question her. He really has no idea!

The foreman thought with disdain, then turned around and saw Zhang Lanlan secretly poking her head out from the corner, and put on a loving expression again: "Don't be afraid, your cowardly father has already run away."

Zhang Lanlan nodded and went back to her work.

During this period, Zhang Yong sent his two children here, saying that he was paying compensation, but in fact he was happy not to have to take care of the children.

But in this way, the workers saw the two children more often and became more aware of how Zhang Yong raised the children.

He was hanging out with those bad friends and didn't realize that his reputation in the base had dropped to the lowest.

Although it is currently impossible to deal a substantial blow to Zhang Yong, if the situation continues to develop in this way, no one will stand on his side if something happens in the future.

Lian Fenghe cleared out a warehouse for Zhang Lanlan and her younger brother Zhang Hao to live in. Zhang Hao was usually picked up and dropped off by Zhang Lanlan when he went to and from school.

Although the warehouse is small, the brother and sister are very satisfied as they don't have to worry about Zhang Yong breaking in drunkenly in the middle of the night and dragging them off the bed and beating them up.

More importantly, now I can have three meals a day!

The foreman's husband works as a security guard at the base, and her mother-in-law and father-in-law work in the kitchen. The family lives in the base, so in addition to lunch, the foreman's family also cooks breakfast and dinner.

I used to make it for my own family, and now Zhang Lanlan and Zhang Hao have joined us.

The two children were able to eat at first, but the foreman's mother-in-law could tell at a glance that the children had been hungry for too long and were afraid that they would not have the next meal after this one.

So the mother-in-law kept shouting "What a sin" while preparing light, nourishing and easy-to-digest dishes to prevent the siblings from suffering from stomach discomfort.

Now Zhang Lanlan and Zhang Hao eat much more normally. At least they eat a little faster and chew their food well before swallowing.

Lian Fenghe took out 500 yuan from her own pocket money as food expenses for Zhang Lanlan and Zhang Hao for the first month.

As for the two thousand yuan given by Yu Xin, Lian Fenghe handed it over to Zhang Lanlan.

Of course she refused to accept it at first, but Lian Fenghe brought up Yu Xin's words, and Zhang Lanlan was indeed shaken.

She could tolerate her own hard life, but she didn't want her sisters to have the same experience as her.

Zhang Lanlan thought about it all night and finally accepted the money. The next day when she sent Zhang Hao to school, she ran to the school of her second sister Zhang Qingqing and her third sister Zhang Huahua and gave each of them one thousand yuan.

The two were shocked when they received the money. Zhang Huahua burst into tears all of a sudden: "Sister, are you okay? Nothing happened?"

Zhang Qingqing didn't say anything, but just pursed her lips, pulled Zhang Lanlan to look at her carefully, and rolled up her sleeves to see if there were any needle holes on her arm.

When she was a child, someone in the village talked about selling blood. Zhang Lanlan had the idea, but was rejected in the end because she was too young.

"I'm fine, I'm really fine," Zhang Lanlan shook her head and hugged her two sisters again, "Someone is willing to help us, you guys keep the money."

Zhang Huahua wiped her tears and stuffed the money into Zhang Lanlan's pocket: "Sister, take it and use it. I'm in school and don't have much to spend money on."

"I told you I'd give it to you, so it's yours." Zhang Lanlan forcefully stuffed the money into her pocket. "Haohao and I are living at the nursery base now. The boss and foreman treat us very well. You don't have to worry about me."

When Zhang Qingqing saw Zhang Lanlan's attitude, she knew that her sister could not keep the money.

She clutched the money and whispered, "I understand. I will use the money well."

Zhang Lanlan said "hmm" and took her two younger sisters to find their class teacher.

When Lian Fenghe went to Gu Qinghuan for advice, she let slip the fact that Yu Xin had given her money.

Gu Qinghuan then gave him an extra tip and asked him to tell Zhang Lanlan.

Zhang Qingqing's class teacher was a woman in her forties. She was a little surprised to see Zhang Lanlan, but still received her in a friendly manner.

Zhang Lanlan said to the head teacher: "Hello, teacher, I need your help with something."

"My family's situation is not very good, teacher, you should know that." She paused and looked at the head teacher nervously.

The head teacher still looked at her gently. Zhang Lanlan gained some courage and continued, "I know a kind person who is willing to help my family. Today I am here to give money to Qingqing."

"So, can you please talk about this in class? Otherwise, her expenses at school will increase, and other students might find it strange."

Maybe for some people, one thousand yuan is nothing, but for Zhang Qingqing, it means she can upgrade her three meals a day from rice with soup to two stir-fried dishes.

It's okay if it happens once or twice, but if it happens too often, her classmates might get curious, so it's better to make it clear at the beginning that she has received financial aid.

Zhang Qingqing and Zhang Huahua heard it but didn't care. They didn't feel their self-esteem was hurt by it.

Rather, having a father like Zhang Yong is the most damaging thing to their self-esteem.

The head teacher nodded. She thought this was a good idea and that Zhang Qingqing’s grades were very good, so she could use this to motivate other students.

When Zhang Lanlan saw that she agreed, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief and went to find Zhang Huahua's class teacher to repeat it.

Zhang Huahua's head teacher was in a dilemma: "There are also poor students in our class. Zhang Huahua's grades are not very good. If other poor students find out, what should we do?"

He could imagine that some parents might come to him and ask why Zhang Huahua had someone to sponsor her while their own children had no one to sponsor them.

Zhang Lanlan was immediately stumped by this question. She panicked for a few seconds, then suddenly remembered that she had Lian Fenghe's number. She quickly said, "Can you lend me your phone? I'll call that kind person."

The head teacher handed over his mobile phone. Zhang Lanlan didn't know how to use it yet. With the teacher's guidance, she dialed the number in a panic.
