Chapter 68: Interest

  Finally, after patiently waiting for him to finish eating, he let Da Bao take away the bowl and smiled: "Now that we've eaten, let's talk about how to collect interest..."

  The young man only reacted now, staring at her with a dumbfounded expression. His eyes showed a hint of surprise and obvious panic, bluntly saying: "......I have no money."

  "I know you don't have money, if you had money would you still be starving in my courtyard?!"" Shen Sisi smiled and said: "You may not have money, but you have strength..."

  "What do you want?!" The boy's hair stood on end as he was looked up and down by her piercing gaze, trembling slightly.

  Shen Sisi pinched him and said, "Not bad, not bad. Although he's thin, but not too weak, has the strength to fight, I suppose also has the strength to work. How about this, from now on you'll work at my house, we'll give you food to eat..."

  "Is there a salary?!" The young man thought for a moment, he didn't have anywhere else to go either. Here, there was food and drink, the meals seemed pretty good too, plus she could earn money to buy meat, it seemed that at home they wouldn't be too harsh either.

  "Look at him, speechless and staring. 'What? You still want wages? Don't you eat and drink with money? The meat and pastry you just ate weren't free?! If you're not willing to work, return the money immediately and get out of here...'"

  The young man looked at her with a sullen expression, almost jumping up and down, saying: "You clearly know I don't have any money, yet you still want me to pay you back. What am I supposed to use to repay you? I'm not asking for much in wages, just a little bit each month would be fine. Why are you being so stingy?"

  "Want wages? Alright, but I won't provide food or accommodation, you consider it yourself!"

  "How much are you prepared to give?!" The young man asked her somewhat gloomily.

  "One article per day..." Shen Sisi said.

  "Is that all?! Are you robbing me?!" The young man's intestines were all twisted, his face was already swollen and bruised, now his expression was even more vivid.

  "You just pick one......" Shen Sisi stood up and said: "Hurry up and think, don't come out of my courtyard until you've figured it out, don't block the way here..."

  "One article a day is too little......" The young man said anxiously: "Aren't you forcing me to work for nothing?! How long do I have to keep doing this before I can make a name for myself?!"

  Shen Sisi just narrowed her eyes and stared at him, the young man said helplessly: "...Okay, fine. I'll choose to have food and lodging, but in the future when I've grown up, can you pay me wages?!"

  "Let's see how you perform......" Shen Sisi rolled her eyes and said, "It also depends on whether my family can get out of poverty and become rich. If we're still so poor, you'll have to leave too..."

  The young man was even more entangled after hearing this, and couldn't tell what he was thinking in his heart. He was hesitant about whether to change counties and continue to intercept the road, which would be better than suffering here. However, when he ate meat every day, he didn't want to leave anymore.

  However, at this time, he was quite entangled.

  "What's your name?" Shen Sisi asked him.

  "My name is Zhao Chengxu..."

  Shen Sisi was taken aback and said: "National surname?!"

  Zhao Chengxu's expression on his face became very subtle, but he didn't speak again.

  "This name is too complicated, it's a hassle to call out. From now on, let's just call him Four Treasures..." Shen Sisi said with finality. The newly named Four Treasures glared at Shen Sisi with wide eyes and said: "I don't want to be called that name, and I'm older than all of them, why do I have to be ranked as the fourth treasure?!"

  "Otherwise, calling you Dog Egg or Dog Leftover is fine... after all, you were picked up..."
