Started as a poor little girl

Chapter 14 Buying Clothes

"Well, we are dirty and we are afraid that it will affect the business. We know the boss is kind, but we don't want to affect the business." Ah Da finally said softly.

Li Lulu understood, and she nodded, "No need to wait until tonight, just tell me now, I'm the boss."

"Sister, are you really recruiting? Can you see if my brother is suitable?" Xiaoliu said a lot of things in a hurry.

"Sure. As long as they are diligent, we will take them. But the youngest one has to be fourteen years old. The work is not tiring but very busy. If you have anyone of the right age and diligent hands and feet, you can bring them here. The salary is one hundred wen, including food and accommodation."

Li Lulu thought for a moment and added, "Think about it first. When you have thought it through, come find me before we close the store."

Li Lulu left after she finished speaking, leaving Ada and Xiaoliu in a daze, still unable to recover.

The two of them reacted and hurried back to the dilapidated temple to inform their brothers and sisters and make them happy.

As Ah Da walked, he thought, this little girl is so nice, she gave us cakes to eat and gave us work to do, she is such a good person. He decided to work hard so as not to let her down.

They returned to the ruined temple, and Ah Da said to the children, "Xiaolu Malatang is recruiting employees. Do you want to go? Only those who are over 14 years old are welcome. Erxiao, Sanli, and Si Ya, do you want to go?"

The children were stunned after hearing this, then they were delighted and nodded heavily one by one.

Second Primary School "Big Brother, I Do"

Mikasa: "Brother, I am willing to do it too. As long as there is work to do and I can fill my stomach, I will go."

"Yes, brother, no matter how hard it is, I will go. Si Ya is not afraid of hardship, but she is afraid that her younger brothers and sisters will be hungry." Si Ya cried with joy.

Ah Da patted Si Ya's little head soothingly and said, "Don't cry, don't cry. Seven hundred coins a month, food and accommodation included."

After hearing this, Si Ya burst into tears of joy, "That's great, big brother, that's great, but if we provide food and accommodation and stay in a hotel, what about our younger brothers and sisters?"

"Yes, big brother, and we don't even have a decent piece of clothing, what should we do?" Erxiao also hurriedly added.

"Anyway, we can just go and ask and we'll find out. The boss is a very nice person. I believe they must know the answer since my brother has come back to ask." Mikasa believes in her brother.

"Mikasa is right. We have played with the boss before. She is willing to let us do the work. She must have her own plans. But we have to ask the boss about my brother and sister. Let's go talk to the boss later."

Ada actually had no idea what was going on. He was afraid that if he mentioned this, the boss would no longer want them to do the work.

"Brother, don't worry. I believe in that sister. She is a good person. She was the one who gave me the food and money last time. She didn't despise me at all and even let me sit in the store!"

After hearing Xiaoliu's words, Ada felt a little comforted and finally felt relieved.

Although fate is not very kind to them, they still live on with strength. No matter how difficult it is, they still have that sunny smile.

Laughter and joyful cheers could be heard from the dilapidated temple; the children were very happy.

It was getting dark, and the last table of customers in the store had left. When Li Qingping was about to close the store, four children came over.

"Children, are you hungry? Wait a minute, uncle will get you some food."

Wei Lingheng came over to stop Li Qingping and said slowly, "They are here to look for Lulu. Uncle, don't worry, just go and call Lulu over first."

Li Qingping responded and hurried to the kitchen to call Li Lulu.

"Wow! You guys are so punctual. Come in, Sister Qingqing, you can come too."

Li Lulu was walking in front, followed by a group of people. She brought them upstairs.

"Come and sit down," Li Lulu pointed to the stool next to her.

A Da and the others looked at their dirty clothes and didn't dare to sit down.

"It's okay, just sit down if she asks you to!"

Wei Lingheng persuaded them to sit down and talk, otherwise they would have to stand. If they talked for a long time, their legs would have to be stretched straight.

They all sat down obediently. Li Lulu looked at the few people. There were just four of them. How could it be so accurate? Li Lulu complained in her heart, why couldn't the lottery be so accurate?

"Have you thought about it?" Li Lulu asked again.

The four of them nodded and said in unison, "I've thought about it."

"Okay, 700 wen per person per month, food and lodging included, and a bonus at the end of the month. It depends on your performance and how much you get. If you want a high bonus, you have to work hard!"

Li Lulu's treatment is extremely good. Waiters and odd jobs in other stores don't get paid so much.

"Then can we bring our brothers and sisters to live with us? They are all very small and obedient. We can squeeze in together and it won't be a bother for you, boss."

The other three children were shocked by Ada's words "boss". The girl who was younger than them was the boss! This! This was too outrageous! It was unbelievable.

"I know everything about you. I'll have someone take you to buy some clean clothes. Come over here in the evening. You'll have to work tomorrow morning!"

Li Lulu touched her chin and continued, "Hmm...! After you buy the clothes, go pick up your brothers and sisters. Forget it, go buy them by yourselves. We are all very busy. When you come over later, I will take you to your room and you have to clean up there by yourselves."

"Thank you, boss. We will work hard. We can do any dirty or tiring work. Just give us your orders." A Da said gratefully.

"Thank you, boss, thank you," the other three children also said.

"Here, here's some silver for you, go buy some clothes! Don't think it's free, it's deducted from your wages."

If she didn't say this, they might feel burdened. So after she said this, Ada and the others took the money and left.

Fortunately, they bought a lot of bedding before opening the store, otherwise there wouldn’t be enough now.

Yue Xiangmei saw you and the other beggars go out, and asked hurriedly, "Lulu, what's this?"

"Oh... this is the waiter I hired. This way you don't have to be so tired and you can enjoy yourself at home." Li Lulu's tone was gentle.

“Oh, but they”

Before Yue Xiangmei could finish, Li Lulu said, "Mom, we recruit people who are hardworking and diligent. They are hardworking and honest, and I want to help them. If I hadn't escaped back then, I might have..."

"Okay, okay, Mom is just asking. I've heard of these kids, and their character is impeccable."

Yue Xiangmei was afraid that her daughter would recall the terrible experience, so she quickly changed the subject.

"Okay, then parents are going back. You guys should be busy today. Let your second brother stay and help."

Li Qingping was leading a donkey in the backyard. Hearing the noise in front, he came over and said something.

"Okay, then you and mom should be careful on the road, and you should follow Uncle Hong and the others, it will be safer." Li Xiaoguang reminded.

Upon hearing this, Li Dahong at the door said cheerfully, "Xiaoguang, don't worry, I will definitely bring your parents home safely, hahaha..."

"Okay, go get busy, it's getting late, let's go back."

"Oh, by the way, mother, please bring us those clothes that my brothers and I can't wear. Although they are a little old, they are still wearable. Give them to those poor children."

"Okay, mom gets it. Go ahead and get busy." Yue Xiangmei waved her hand and asked the children to go into the house as it was windy outside.

Yue Xiangmei urged Li Qingping that it was getting late and they had to go home quickly, otherwise it would be difficult to go home after dark.

A Da and his friends took a look at the clothes and wanted to get some clean clothes for their younger brothers and sisters, so they first went to the dilapidated temple to pick up their younger brothers and sisters, and then went to the clothing stores to buy clothes. They went to several stores but the owners would not let them in.

Finally I arrived at Tianji Garment Shop and met Tian Fengnian.

"Children, do you want to buy clothes or food?" Shopkeeper Tian smiled kindly, making the children feel less restrained.

Ah Da walked forward, bowed, and said politely, "Boss, we want to buy some clothes, but we want them to be cheap. We want everyone to have clean clothes to wear."

"Oh! That's a bit difficult. It will cost a lot of money to have clothes for all ten of your children!"

Tian Fengnian stroked his beard, sighed that this beggar was really good and very polite, and paused.

"Boss, we are rich." Xiaoliu blinked his big watery eyes with a sincere look.

"Okay, come here, get two sets of clothes for each of these children, and then take them to wash!" Tian Fengnian ordered.

"Thank you, shopkeeper. Thank you, shopkeeper." The children thanked.

"Thank you, shopkeeper. You and Sister Xiaolu are both good people. Good people will be rewarded. Thank you, uncle."

Xiaoliu's voice was so soft and sweet that Tian Fengnian's heart melted.
