Chapter 107 Recruiting Workers

Chapter 107 Recruiting Workers
"Now you are Master Tongsheng, but look..."

Mrs. Liu pointed to the things on the table and said, "After the new year, there is only one fish, no chickens or ducks!"

"What kind of Chinese New Year is this!"

In fact, the Wang family gave some eggs and chicks, but the Liu family was not happy to raise these things.

Raising chickens has to go to grass every day and come back to feed them, and the smell of chicken excrement is too smelly. She is Tongsheng's mother, and it is too embarrassing to ask her to do these things.

In the past, although she raised some, most of the time, the Tang family would send eggs and chicken, and would help mow the grass to feed the chickens, so she didn't have to worry about too much at all.

"Isn't this fish a gift from the Wang family?" Su Ting frowned, somewhat displeased, "Let's make do with it!"

When Liu Shi heard this, tears fell down.

It is said that the Wang family is a wealthy family in Shanghe Village, but now they are becoming more and more stingy.

"Mother can make do with it, but what about you...you're going to take the exam in the next year!" Liu Shi whimpered, "Mother can't wait to cut her own flesh to make up for you, but the Wang family's heartless people, But they search so well! If you become a high-ranking official in the future, it will be too late for them to curry favor!"

Su Ting rubbed his eyebrows irritably, his mind was full of Wang Xiuhua's words.

The Wang family now has some opinions on his expenses. He spent more than ten taels of silver a year while studying in the county.

But can this be his fault?When studying in the county, the people you make friends with are naturally different. These friends are all people who have read poetry and books, so they naturally go to drink flower wine and stroll around flower streets.

More than ten taels of silver, which is still a little.

"A few days ago, my mother asked me where the magnolia golden hairpin went!" Wang Xiuhua said with some fear, "I didn't dare to tell my mother, but I gave it to you!"

Su Ting took Wang Xiuhua's hairpin and pawned it for ten taels of silver, plus the silver given by Wang Xiuhua, it cost no less than 20 taels.

This year, he spent 40 taels of silver in the county.

However, the Wang family didn't know that Wang Xiuhua had subsidized him.

"Don't cry, it's Chinese New Year!" Su Ting persuaded Liu Shi helplessly, "I'll see Xiuhua tomorrow!"

When Liu heard this, she laughed through her tears, "Xiuhua is your daughter-in-law, and she will definitely think of you!"

"Mother doesn't ask for a new set of clothes to wear, but only asks her to love you so much that she can give you some money to make up for your health!"

Su Ting agreed, but didn't say anything else!
Because of Su Ting's guarantee, on the day of Liu's first day of junior high school, he was so loud at home.

She wants to go out and brag, but who wants to listen to her bragging this New Year's Eve!

Even the few people who are the most idle on weekdays stay at home honestly.

The Liu family was a little reconciled, she went to the entrance of the village again, but saw Huang Yun leading the Wei family's youngest daughter, Wei Maimiao, walking towards the Tang family together.

Wei Maimiao's voice was not loud, she was a little surprised, "Ten cents a day? Really!"

"Cousin, what did I lie to you for?" Huang Yun said, "Sister Mi said that I need to find some handy ones, so I remembered you!"

Wei Maimiao's mother is well-known in the village as being good at needlework, and as the only daughter of the Wei family, Wei Maimiao naturally inherited her mother's craftsmanship.

The Wei family is good in everything, but they are a little poor.

Wei Maimiao has three older brothers. The eldest brother has joined the army, and the two older brothers were injured while working on the dock. Now the family relies on their father to move goods and their mother to do needlework to make money.

Old man Wei is getting old, and he is not as popular as the boys on the pier. He hasn't found a job for several days since the beginning of winter.

Wei Maimiao's mother is better, but after all, she is getting older, her eyesight is not as good as before, and her sewing speed is much slower.

The family is very poor now, and the brothers still need to take medicine, Wei Maimiao is very anxious.

At this moment, Huang Yun came to him.

"Is it just spinning?" Wei Maimiao was still a little worried, "How can spinning thread make so much money!"

"Oh my cousin..." Huang Yun is not like Li Xiuer and Xia He, she is the most stupid, "You will know when you go!"

The two little girls left in a hurry, and Liu Shi wanted to stop them from saying a few words, but the two of them ignored her at all.

Mrs. Liu was a little confused, and wanted to follow the two little girls, but when she reached the door of Tang's house, she was shocked.

There were quite a few girls standing in the small courtyard of the Tang family, most of whom were well-known children in the village.

These girls all have one characteristic - dexterity.

Tang Mi stood under the eaves, her voice was still as crisp as before, and she seemed surprised, "Why are you here now!"

"Sister Mi, do you really give Shiwen a day's wages?"

"Yeah, don't lie to us!"

"Yes, actually less is fine!"

……

The girls in the yard were chattering, not afraid of the snow still falling in the sky.

"Yes, anyone who comes to work with me will be given ten cents a day!" Tang Mi patiently explained, "However, I don't ask everyone for it! The first is skillful, and the second is not to be lazy!"

"This day must be at least four hours..."

Tang Mi spoke seriously, and the girls listened quietly.

At the end, Li Xiu'er even answered, "Ten cents a day, I'm willing to do it for five hours!"

Working on the wharf is exhausting and costs only a few tens of pennies, and this kind of work does not happen every day.

But these girls can earn [-] wen a month by spinning at home. This kind of work is hard to find!

After a year, this will cost three taels of silver!

Just thinking about it is exciting.

After all, they dare not even dream about it!

Mrs. Liu understood now that the Tang family wanted to hire people to do the work, just spinning thread, but they were paid ten cents a day.

Liu's heart was moved when he heard it.

But soon, Liu Shi figured it out again.

The Tang family was probably confused—their brains were flooded.

There are about a dozen girls in this yard. If they are paid according to this salary, then they will have to spend at least 40 taels of silver in a year!

This is 40 taels of silver...

How can the Tang family have so much money?

Liu's eyeballs rolled in their sockets, and she muttered that the Tang family might be in trouble.

While thinking, she hurried towards Wei's house.

"Zhang Hua!" Mrs. Liu walked to the small courtyard of the Wei family and immediately said, "Zhang Hua, go and bring your wheat seedlings back, I'm afraid your wheat seedlings will be cheated!"

"Don't you know who the Tang family is? How dare you trust them, and you are not afraid that they will sell your wheat seedlings!"

Mrs. Zhang didn't come out of the house, but Grandma Huang did!

"You wicked bitch with a bad mouth! Can you even speak!" What kind of unfavorable words did Liu, who is a Chinese New Year senior, say?

Grandma Huang is Zhang's aunt, so naturally she is not happy to hear this, "Get out of here quickly, don't get in our way here!"
