Chapter 211 Insatiable Greed
Some people who wanted to refuse heard what the village chief said, and it was hard for them to say any more words of rejection.After all, Gu Manxiu and the village head had already made up their minds, and it would be a little hypocritical for them to refuse.

"Village Chief, I will sign up first, and I will definitely go when the time comes."

That's ten pennies, more than a man usually goes to work in the town, anyone who doesn't go is a fool.

When can't you rest if you want to rest?I was born to rest at this time. Is it not because of a sickness in the head?
"Village chief, I want to sign up too, write my name first, and I will definitely come early then."

Ten cents a day, so much wasteland, maybe how many days it will take.

For a moment, everyone couldn't help getting excited, and they just put pens and paper into the hands of the village chief and asked him to register everyone's names.

Gao Yuanshan watched from afar, seeing the village chief surrounded by a group of people, and immediately went back to his room to give the village chief a pen and paper.

When the village chief saw what Gao Yuanshan handed him, he couldn't help rubbing Gao Yuanshan's head.

"You boy."

"Okay, stop shouting, line up one by one, I want to register."

When everyone heard the words, they didn't dare to fight any more, and immediately lined up one by one.The people who were the most peripheral just now can only be ranked last, and I feel very regretful in my heart.

"If I had known, I would have squeezed in with a little force just now, and I wouldn't have been in the back."

"That is, if I hadn't watched Widow Wang crying and ran out to take a look after her, I wouldn't have come back."

Unlike the remorse of the people behind, the people in the front are happy.

"I reported all our family members, ten for one person, fifty for five."

This is also the reason everyone thinks about it, and the people who followed also reported all the appointments that they could do.

"Village chief, our family is six years old, and he can work."

The village head looked at the anxious woman and couldn't help frowning.

"What can your family Manzhu do? We adults can't guarantee that the herb can be planted for Manxiu, and you still find a child. Isn't this harmful to Manxiu?"

The woman looked a little embarrassed, "Our Manzhu is very sensible, and he can do everything at home on weekdays. As long as you teach him, he can do the work."

The village head became a little impatient when he saw the woman's reticence.

He has long known that if these people are paid, some people will be greedy.

"Okay, you can bring your Manzhu with you."

When the woman was overjoyed, the people who followed them were also excited for a while.

However, the village chief snorted coldly.

"You can take the child with you, but if you damage Manxiu's herbs, or if the planted by the child can't grow, you can compensate according to the original price."

Everyone's heart trembled, and they unconsciously looked at Gu Manxiu.

Before Gu Manxiu could speak, the village chief threw away his pen.

"This rule has nothing to do with Manxiu. I made it for you. Since Manxiu has entrusted this matter to me, naturally I can't harm her."

When everyone heard this, they were somewhat disappointed, after all, one more person was ten cents more.

Someone said unconvinced: "Village chief, isn't your family's Chen Xiaopang not going?"

The village head stared, "What do you want him to do? It's no good to harm herbs!"

The person who was bullied curled his lips, obviously not believing what the village chief said.

Looking at these dissatisfied people, the village head suddenly turned cold.

"You don't have to do it. I'll go find people from the next village. Anyway, the people from Chenxing Village are not the only ones who can work in these ten miles and eight villages."

When the villagers heard the news, they became anxious immediately.

"Village chief, this is not acceptable, this... this Manxiu is from our Chen Xing Village, how can we ask other villagers to help us?"

"Yeah, it's not that there is no one in our Chen Xing Village, so why are you looking for people from other villages?"

The village chief sneered, "You guys don't care about how Manxiu's medicinal materials are planted in order to earn more money for yourself, so why should I ask you? For the same salary, I will go to another village's servants, and they can still give Manxiu do better."

The woman who was still complaining about the village chief for not letting her children go with her just now was also dumbfounded at this moment.

She really didn't expect that the village head would be so strict when he asked the villagers to work this time. Seeing the complaining eyes around her, the woman turned her face away a little uncomfortable.

"Village chief, I..."

Seeing that the woman seemed to want to defend herself, the village chief waved his hands and said, "If you don't want to do it, then quickly ask the people behind to sign up."

When the people behind heard the words, they also shouted.

"Yeah, if your family doesn't want to go, then don't go, why are you doing it in front of us? We are fantasizing about going."

The woman looked at the crowd behind her in astonishment, she obviously didn't expect that everyone would stop speaking for her.

"You...you didn't say that just now. You also said that you would bring your own children..."

Seeing that the woman seemed about to quarrel with them, the people behind immediately waved their hands.

"Okay, okay, weren't we fooled by you? If you didn't mention it and asked the children to follow, we wouldn't have thought of it."

"That's right, and the village chief also said it. For nothing else, we can't bring our children to harm her medicine field because of Manxiu's kindness to us."

"Yeah, you have to be conscientious to be a human being..."

The woman was squeezed out, and her face was also red and blue.

Seeing this, the village chief shook his head helplessly.

"Have you signed up yet? How many people are there in your family?"

The woman regained her senses and nodded again and again.

"Yes, we don't want to follow the whole family, there are only four people in total."

The village head recorded the number of people, and then nodded to him.

The woman was illiterate, but seeing the village head nodding, she felt relieved after worrying about it for a long time.

"Thank you village chief, thank you Manxiu."

The woman thanked happily.

In the past, the woman might have felt resentful because she didn't let her children go with her, but now that the village head threatened her, the woman no longer felt resentful, and instead became grateful to the village head and Gu Manxiu.

"Okay, remember to plant herbs for Manxiu when the time comes."

"Next one, hurry up. Don't wait for Hui Manxiu to cook, you are still begging for food at other people's homes."

Everyone laughed, but the speed of registration was indeed much faster.

Gao Yuanshan looked at the finally quiet yard, and his tense smile immediately relaxed.

"Mom, why do these people come to our house?"

Gu Manxiu saw that the baby fat on his small face hadn't faded yet, and she wanted to look like an adult, she couldn't help pinching his small face amusedly.

"He will come to our house to work after a while, so why don't you sign up with us?"

The little guy curled his lips when he heard the words. Although he felt that there were so many people gathered in the yard to make noise, he also knew the reason.
