Gu Jinli saw them all shivering as they spoke and laughingly said, "Grandpa Guo, it's not the first time you're collecting your wages, do you really need to be this nervous?"
Old Guo, a bit embarrassed, chuckled and said, "It's not the same, last time we only got half a month's wages, but this time it's a whole month's worth. We all had to scrape a living from the soil before; when have we ever received full month's wages? No matter how many times we collect it, we'll always be nervous."
Those who could receive a full month's wages were the clerks working in the shops; in their eyes, those clerks were successful people. From the He family, only the village chief's second son had ever collected a full month's wages. None of them had ever done so.
Now that they could, Old Guo and the others felt exceptionally proud and were beyond excited.
Knowing they were eager to get paid, Gu Jinli didn't waste any more time, telling them, "Get in line to receive your change."
