Chapter 426 Dispute (2)_1
freewёbn૦νeɭ.com The rice shop had been in business for only two months, and the pure profit for the first month was nearly 700 Liang. This month’s business was better than last month’s, and the accounts already showed 850 Liang. Adding today’s business income and after deducting processing costs and wages, the pure profit wouldn’t be less than 860 Liang.
Two months of easy work had earned fifteen hundred tael, which was already quite good. Mo Yan was very satisfied as well. Next year, with more cash on hand, he could hire more people to properly cultivate the 120 acres in the mountain valley and strive for a great harvest in the first year.
When Mo Yan returned home, he stopped Tie Tou and Wang Pangtou, who were about to leave, and after giving them their monthly wages of 700 Wen, he gave them an extra red envelope as well.
Tie Tou and Wang Pangtou accepted their wages but resolutely refused to take the red envelope.
Seeing that they were truly unmoved, Mo Yan’s smile grew even more evident, "Take it. This is a reward for your diligent work over these two months. When the eighth day of the first lunar month comes, I’ll still need your help managing the rice shop’s business!"
They still refused to take it. Wang Ironhead scratched his head, somewhat embarrassed, and said, "Working diligently is our duty, Little Boss has already given us our wages. We really can’t accept this reward."
Tie Tou, not good with words, just echoed in agreement, nodding his head, "Can’t take it, can’t take it!"
Mo Yan, without a choice, pretended to be angry and stuffed the two purses into their hands, "Since I’ve given them to you, you keep them. If you don’t want them, after you leave my house’s doorway, you can throw them away if you like."
With things having reached this point, the two men dared not to refuse any longer and reluctantly accepted the purses.
