Make a lot of money!I got rich in the year of famine

She was used to the lively Shen family.

When Boss Fan was eating, he heard that his uncle and grandma had brought people to make trouble. He felt guilty, and after thinking about it, he came over with a wine glass to apologize to Granny Shen.

Granny Shen didn't blame him for knowing this. Besides, her little granddaughter still had to employ people. After she left, the safety of the family and outside the home depended on him. How could she dare to blame him? "Look what you said, they are here to make trouble." , it’s your elder again, even if you are here, you can’t stop me no matter what you do. Fortunately, we live in a remote place, which saves us a lot of trouble. We just need to be more vigilant in the future."

Boss Fan nodded, "Don't worry, from now on Xiaoshan and I will take turns keeping vigil. It would be impossible if we don't have a night watchman in this courtyard."

There are a lot of things in the yard. Although they are not valuable, it is hard to say whether they will attract thieves.

As the New Year is approaching, there are more and more people committing petty theft, so we have to be on guard.

Speaking of security matters, Shen Qing thought of several villages, as well as the farms gathered here in Crescent Bay, and they really needed to set up security patrols.

"Uncle Fan, keeping watch at night is a long-term job. Young people think that many people may not be able to keep it, and it's not something you can do just by the two of you. Hmm! Why don't you pick a down-to-earth person from the mountain who will be responsible for keeping watch at night? What do you think?"

Mr. Fan thought for a while and said, "There is a suitable candidate. We held a wedding banquet yesterday and he came too. When you saw him, you said he looked fierce. In fact, he was a good man. My mother-in-law died in childbirth, so I left you. He and his poor old mother still had to raise children, so he could only go hunting in the mountains to collect herbs in exchange for some money. Life at home was hard, but no matter how hard or tiring he was, he never did anything bad. He was extremely honest and rarely talked. , but if you ask him to keep watch overnight, you have to take care of his wife and children as well. They live a miserable life in the mountains, and they can't survive without him."

Shen Qing did not hesitate, "If I am honest and reliable and can keep my family, as long as I agree with these two points, I will have no problem raising two more people. How big is his baby?"

"Uh... I gave birth to her in the twelfth lunar month of the year before last. I'm not even two years old yet!"

"Ah? Then he's not very old, right?" Shen Qing thought of the dull-headed man he saw that day, with a stubble in his beard, and he looked very old.

Mr. Fan laughed and said: "You are from the mountains! Even if you age quickly, it is not easy to find a wife. He married a wife after almost becoming a bachelor. She is in her early twenties this year. If the girl agrees, I will look for her in the mountains tomorrow morning. He, you can talk about it later."

Early the next morning, Mr. Fan went up the mountain before dawn. When Shen Qing got up and washed up, he led a tall man back while he was having breakfast.

"My boss, I brought him to you. His name is Liu Heng." Then he urged Liu Heng to call someone.

Shen Qing put down his bowl and chopsticks to show respect for others, "Brother Liu, please sit down!"

Shen Qi brought a stool and handed it to him.

Liu Heng did not move. Instead, he stood back and said, "I can just stand."

He didn't forget that he was here to apply for a night watch job and was a servant. How could he sit in front of his master? This was what his mother had told him before leaving.

Shen Qing didn't force it, thought about it, and stated his conditions, "My family needs someone to keep vigil at night. I heard from Uncle Fan that you are safe and trustworthy, so I wanted to ask you to give it a try."

Liu Heng still lowered his head, "If I can take my mother and son with me, it doesn't matter if the money is small, as long as we have a place to live and enough to eat." Shen Qing thought about winning over people's hearts. So she said: "I will give you one tael of silver a month, what do you think?"

Liu Heng finally looked up at her in surprise, his eyes as deep as the sea, "What about my son and my mother?"

Shen Qing rubbed his chin, "There are several rooms in the gatehouse. You choose two. You live in one, and your mother and the children live in one. Our family eats together. Most of the time, there is no distinction between master and servant, so That is to say, you can eat whatever we eat, okay?"

Liu Heng was no longer calm. This was the first time he heard that he wanted to eat the same food as his servants.

Shen Qing said again: "I know you don't believe it, and you think I'm lying to you, but even if you don't believe me, you still have to believe Uncle Fan, because he is here! Can I lie to you?"

Mr. Fan laughed and patted his shoulder, "Don't worry! Our boss is also from a poor background, not a mean and cunning landlord. We had dinner together last night. When your mother and baby come, we will also Same, I won’t let you have enough to eat.”

Liu Heng thought about it, and his face was a little sad. Unfortunately, his skin was dark and there was nothing to tell, "I didn't mean that."

Shen Qingdao: "It's not just about eating. I have to make clothes for you in spring and autumn. They are either made of fine materials or coarse cloth. But your baby is still young. I can ask someone to make a few cotton clothes for him alone." Yes, I am saying this just to let you know that I will not treat you badly. As long as you have something to eat from me, you will not be hungry. At least it will be much better than your days in the mountains."

"I understand what my boss means..." He was about to say, one tael of silver a month is a lot, not only for food and shelter, but also for making clothes, five hundred coins a month is a lot.

"No, you don't understand." Shen Qing looked solemn, "One tael of silver is just the basic standard. I will reward you at the end of the year. We will also set up a school here in the future. Your little kid can also go to school when he grows up. , it’s still free and doesn’t require any training, do you understand what I mean?”

Why were you given such good conditions?
Of course, he is required to carry out his work with the utmost loyalty, even if necessary, he will not hesitate to fight for it.

Liu Heng figured it out, straightened his back, took a deep breath, and said with firm eyes, "As long as my mother and son have no worries about the future, my life will be yours!"

Are these words heavy enough?

Shen Qing nodded with satisfaction, "Very good, go get your family members! I'll ask someone to clean up the house for you."

After the conversation was over, Boss Fan led him out and said with a bit of reproach: "Did you say that too harshly just now? You don't want to die, it sounds scary."

Liu Heng smiled bitterly, "Brother, don't you understand the meaning behind what my boss said?"

"But we don't want you to risk your life, right?" Boss Fan didn't realize the seriousness of the matter. Besides, he didn't expect Shen Qing to think like this, just watch the door overnight!What danger could there be?

"Anyway, I have to thank you. When we move down and clean up, I'll treat you to a drink when you have time." Liu Heng thanked him sincerely. The days on the mountain were getting harder and harder. He was almost like a savage. Can't go down anymore.

In the afternoon, Liu Heng saluted on his back, hung his son on his chest, and held his mother's hand with one hand. The three of them groped around. Because the old lady's legs and feet were not good, they walked for three hours before going down the mountain. When they arrived at the door of Shen's house, it was raining. It's all going dark.
