Chapter 257: Aunt Mo’s Dismissal (2)

It sounded as though Aunt Mo was about to cry.

When Mo Shiyun heard her mother’s voice, her heart felt like it was being torn out.

“Mother, what’s the matter? What’s wrong? Calm down. Did that bastard come after you again?”

“No… It’s not him… It’s… It’s Young Master Yuncheng. He dismissed me…”

“What did you say? Dismissed? Why are you dismissed?”

Shock was evident on Mo Shiyun’s face.

After a quick glance at Zhu Sha, Mo Shiyun got up and left the cafeteria. She didn’t want her friend to look at her with curious eyes. She walked over to the flower bed outside the cafeteria to continue her conversation with her mother.

“Mother, please don’t cry. Tell me what Young Master told you.”

Aunt Mo’s cries made Mo Shiyun’s heart clench. She didn’t want to hear her mother cry.

“Young Master Yuncheng just said that they no longer need two maids in the house anymore. Miss Yiling is currently living in the Old Jian Residence. Furthermore, Young Master Yuncheng and Young Master Yunmo aren’t home very often. As a result, the only person who needs to be taken care of at home is Young Master Yunnao. Thus, Aunt An is enough. That’s why they no longer need me.”

Originally, the Jian Residence only had one maid. And that was Aunt An.

Aunt Mo came after Aunt An. She was hired because Aunt An was getting old. Accompanied by her age, her physical strength couldn’t keep up with the work required of her.

When the Jian family was looking for a new maid, Mo Huiqin had a lot of competition. Originally, she wouldn’t have been the one who had gotten hired. However, He Yan had pulled some strings behind the scenes and helped her secure the high salary job.

However, there was no way for them to refute Jian Yuncheng’s words.

If he had said that he had dismissed Aunt Mo because she had done something wrong, then Aunt Mo would have been able to argue back and explain the situation.

However, he merely said that they didn’t need two maids any longer. He didn’t even give Aunt Mo the chance to fight for herself.

Mo Shiyun 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 scrape a living.

Aunt Mo continued to sob over the phone, “Shiyun, 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.
