Grand Plan (1)

The store manager had a monthly salary of 5 taels of silver. If her performance was good that month, she would get a bonus. The salary was even more than what her boss earned.

If she continued to work with them, she would not have to worry about the money for her father-in-law's medicine and the money for her son to go to the academy.

Although her mother-in-law had some opinions about this matter, the head of the house was on her side this time.

He even asked her mother-in-law to take over most of the housework at home. He said that he supported her working.

Although she had to pay 3 taels of silver to her mother-in-law every month, she could earn at least 5 taels a month by working as the manager of the shop at the dock.

Even if she gave 3 taels to her mother-in-law, she could still save 2 taels. It wouldn't be long before she could save up a sum of money.
