Chapter 121: Keep it a secret
Chapter 121: Keep it a secret
"It's not as easy as you say. When you were in class, did your teacher just come to your classroom and read a text to you?"
"If it's as simple as you say, why didn't you do well in high school? Why couldn't you get into college? Didn't you get given books when you were in school? Didn't the teacher teach you?"
Yi Hongqi: ...
"Uncle San, you shouldn't be so discouraging..."
Yi Changshan reached out and knocked him on the head, asking them to get in the car.
Yi Hongjun doesn't want to go back. He is 21 years old and failed to get into university this year. His parents have made it clear that they will no longer support him in taking the college entrance examination next year.
Originally, he wanted to learn the car assembly technology, save some money, quit his temporary job, concentrate on studying for two months, and then try hard to take the exam again.
If he really fails the exam, he won't have trouble finding a job when he comes back because he has the skills to assemble cars.
Learning to drive now requires tuition and takes time, and he really doesn't want to do it.
"Uncle San, we can tell the master that we will learn first. Once we have mastered it, we will give him half of the money we earn from assembling the car as tuition..."
Before Yi Hongjun finished speaking, Yi Hongqi became anxious: "Half? How much would that cost? If I give him half after assembling it, it will be a bottomless pit. No, no!"
Yi Hongjun then said the rest: "We will learn from him for a few months. We will learn from him every day after work. We will work hard and try to learn it within a month."
"That's a lot of money a month. We assemble one every two days, so we can make fifteen a month. 30 for two people, 20 yuan each, 10 yuan each, that's 300 yuan a month for two people..."
When Yi Hongqi thought that half of the money he had worked so hard to earn would go into someone else's pocket, he felt not only heartbroken but also physically painful.
"Then we'll learn and practice hard. Then we can assemble one car every five days, and five or six cars in a month. The others will be half-assembled. You don't have to pay for the unfinished ones..."
The two brothers were talking animatedly, but Yi Changshan's face darkened. If they were already plotting against the master who was teaching them the technique before they even learned it, how could they still cooperate with them after they learned it?
If I offend Lin Mumu by then, and they use technology to control me, I will be at their mercy.
Thinking of this, Yi Changshan decided not to let them learn from Lin Mumu.
"Your method won't work. Tuition is tuition. How can you learn someone else's skills and then share your profits with them? This skill is equivalent to a formal job. You should pay the tuition fee at the same price as buying a formal job..."
Yi Changshan seriously urged them to get in the car and go home. When they arrived at his mother's house, he called his eldest brother and his wife, and his second brother and his wife over to talk.
Yi Changshan had also set the tuition fee, saying that he would give a lower fee for his sake, 800 yuan per person, which was calculated based on the salary of an ordinary formal worker.
"Also, I don't guarantee that I'll teach you. After all, I've studied it myself and tried hard. If I can't learn it, there's nothing I can do."
These words made Yi Changshan's brothers and sisters-in-law angry.
"If you don't support the church, why should we pay so much tuition? If that's the case, it would be better to use the money to help the child move around and find a regular job."
Yi Hongjun and Yi Hongqi both work as temporary workers.
Yi Hongjun and Yi Hongqi also told their mother about the method they had discussed before returning, and got their mother's approval.
"Come on, the master has things to do too. She has to assemble the car when she's free. She can't teach you during her free time every day."
Yi Changshan didn't want to talk to them any more, so he said he was busy and went back first.
After returning, Yi Changshan told Liu Jinmin about what had just happened.
"If my two brothers insist on letting my two nephews learn, I think we can teach them how to make the carriage and the bed. That will save us some effort. But Mumu will still have to assemble the car, and Mumu's identity must be kept secret."
Liu Jinmin agreed with Yi Changshan's words, but Lin Mumu was short on time. His brother-in-law had already ordered quite a few cars. If it was just one day off, even if Lin Mumu was fast, it wouldn't be enough.
"Or maybe we can see if there's a suitable small courtyard we can rent near your place. It's closer, so we can save time on the road and have more time to do it, right?"
Yi Changshan said that he would ask Liu Yan to keep an eye on it when he got back, and he would also ask around.
"But I still have to ask Mumu."
Don't wait until the new yard is rented. If she is unwilling to take the time to go there, wouldn't that be a waste of effort?
Lin Mumu had no objection to their newly rented yard, saying that if it was close, she should be able to find time to go there every day.
Lin Mumu didn't ask the two students who wanted to study whether they would come or not. She thought they didn't come because they had to pay tuition.
After all, Yi Changshan came to mention it this morning, probably because his two brothers' families had never thought of charging money for learning skills.
Because they wanted to rent a new yard, Yi Changshan asked Liu Jinmin to fix the truck bed himself while he went to inquire about the house.
If he asked one day later, and went to the new yard one day later, Lin Mumu would be able to assemble the car one day later.
Assembling the car one day later probably means they will have half a car or a whole car less, which means they will earn at least dozens of dollars less.
Thinking of this, Yi Changshan became quite anxious.
Liu Yan, who was still at her parents' home, was a little surprised to see her husband coming over at noon.
"Didn't I say I would bring you food at noon? Why are you back?"
