Chapter 257 - Aunt Mo’s Dismissal (2) (2/2)
Mo s.h.i.+yun was dumbfounded. She was at a loss as to what to do. Everything had happened way too suddenly.
Her mother had been waiting for her salary to be paid so that she could start saving money again.
However, now, Aunt Mo had suddenly lost her job. There was no way for them to sc.r.a.pe a living.
Aunt Mo continued to sob over the phone, “s.h.i.+yun, what are we going to do now? Young Master Yuncheng has dismissed me. We have to move out of the house now.”
However, how were they going to find a place to live at this very moment?
“Mother, did Young Master Yuncheng settle your salary for this month?”
“Yes, he did. He followed the original contract.”
“Then… Then, that’s fine. With this month’s salary, we can still go out and look for somewhere to live. After that, it’s not too late to find another job as well.”
“But… But it’s only six thousand dollars…”
“Wait, how come? Don’t you usually get sixteen thousand dollars? Where is the other ten thousand dollars? Did Young Master Yuncheng deduct it?”
“On the contract, I’m meant to get six thousand dollars every month. The other ten thousand dollars was an extra amount that was given by Master and Madam. When I started to work at the Jian Residence, Madam had said that the base salary would be six thousand dollars. As long as I didn’t make any mistakes, at the end of the month, she would give me an extra ten thousand dollars as a bonus.”
Typically, the salary of a maid in Hengyuan City was between four to six thousand dollars a month. Six thousand dollars was not a low base salary.
Furthermore, a bonus of ten thousand dollars was incredible. It could not be comparable to other households.
The Jian family treated their employees quite well. It was not a problem for them to spend an extra ten to twenty thousand a month. They just wanted their employees to work hard and do their best.
“Wait, but mother, you didn’t make any mistakes recently.”
“I… I don’t know either… Young Master Yuncheng didn’t say what mistakes I made. However, he settled my salary with only six thousand dollars.”
Young Master Yuncheng had settled Mo Huiqin’s salary according to the contract. Although Mo Huiqin felt that this was unfair, there was nothing that she could say either.
