Chapter 89 Is it none of our business?
"Find ten capable day laborers to come over. Within ten days, all ninety acres of land will be plowed and seeds planted."

"Aren't there a lot of idle people in this village?"

"Bad conduct, no need!"

"How much will the salary be? We will go back early tomorrow morning to ask about it."

"Fifty cash a day, settle the account immediately after work, no arrears! I will take care of a meal at noon."

Guo Dazhuang laughed silly, "It's really a lot, someone must do it!"

"You just need to notify them and let them come on their own!"

The next day, without even having breakfast, the couple brought two pancakes, loaded pickles into the car, and returned to Wangshan Village.

Their home is north of Celadon Town. During the last heavy snowstorm, the official road there was not cleared, so Qin Yue couldn't go there to take a look.

Now that everything is connected, it is very convenient for bullock carts to enter and exit.

As soon as he returned to the village, Guo Dazhuang went to the village chief first.

"Uncle Jiang, Uncle Jiang,"

Seeing how anxious he was, Village Chief Jiang shouted softly: "Why are you so anxious? Let's talk about something."

"Hey, my wife's sister's family wants to hire ten part-time workers at a cost of fifty cents a day. Do you think who in the village is suitable? They must have good character."

"Hey, this is a good thing. I will go to each house to have a look."

"My sister-in-law is picky, so don't let her be dissatisfied."

"Looking at what you said, I will never let the villagers lose their face outside."

"Then let's go first, find good people, and ask them to go to Shanshui Village, the end of the village, to find Qin Yue at the banker."

After the couple finished explaining, they were about to sell pickles when they were stopped by their parents-in-law.

They happened to be talking to someone in the village. When they saw their son and daughter-in-law coming back driving a bullock cart, they knew something was going on. After asking, they found out that they were looking for day laborers.

He immediately asked, "Are there any of your brothers in there?"

"I don't know. Let the village chief handle this matter. There are so many people in the village. Let the village chief decide who is allowed to go or not. I don't want to offend anyone."

"Why are you so stupid? That's your wife's sister's house. Who dares to say anything if you go to your own house?"

"Wait, wait until next time, we still have to sell vegetables."

Guo Dazhuang drove the bullock cart and left as if running away. His parents were very angry behind him.

"I have the same virtue as you, you are so honest!"

"What's wrong? Otherwise, the banker would be able to provide such a profitable job?"

Qin Rui heard the conversation between her parents-in-law from a distance and felt really bad. She used to be poor and her family lived in harmony, but now things are better and everything is just fine.

At three o'clock in the morning, towards noon, ten workers came from the banker, all carrying hoes.

There were people from the Guo family inside, but Qin Yue didn't know them. He led them to the field, told them what to do, and then left.

That village chief Jiang was really good at things. Knowing that it was the Guo family who introduced him, he directly gave his family three places. In other words, Da Zhuang's three brothers were all here.

These ten people are really good. As soon as they get into the field, they pick up their hoes and start working. No one is lazy.

If there are no guests at home now, Shitou will not take action on the food cooked by Mr. Dong and Mr. Wang.

Wang's body has recovered a lot, and this job is no longer tiring for her.

There are many people, so naturally it will be as simple as possible.

If you want delicious food and large portions, big pot dishes are the first choice.

There are so many east melons at home, cut some bacon, stew some vermicelli in it, and make a big steamed bun with Erhe noodles, it will be so delicious.

Each worker has a big bowl, enough steamed buns.

They didn't sit on the bench, they just squatted on the ground and ate while kicking.

A capable person has a big appetite, no less than Guo Dazhuang. Watching them eat can really scare the timid ones.

After eating, I rested for a while and then went back to work.

Qin Yue watched from a distance and nodded with satisfaction. Even if she had a full stomach, she didn't say a word while working.

She was puzzled, they were all human beings, how could the men from other villages be so nice.

Why do people in Shanshui Village only have that kind of virtue?Is the water and soil here poisonous?To raise a group of selfish things?
At dusk, ten men finished work and prepared to go home.

Qin Yue asked the Dong family to give each of them ten large steamed buns. The workers were moved and could not say anything nice. They could only say thank you and hurried back on the road. It was more than 20 miles, and the men almost jogged all the way back.

As soon as he got home, he took out the steamed buns and said, "Eat quickly, the boss gave it to me. It's sweet. It should have added sugar."

Almost all of them said this. The three Guo brothers each took two from it and gave them to their parents.

"Father, mother, you guys have a try, this is from my boss."

"What's the owner? It was given to me by a relative."

"We didn't say who we were."

Mother Guo said angrily: "You are stupid. If you tell me, then the banker will definitely not treat you badly and may give you more."

"Don't tell me, we make money by working hard, not by connections. If you are lazy, even your ancestors will not want you."

After saying that, the boss left in a huff.

Seeing him was like seeing Da Zhuang, just like the brothers.

The second child was more lively. He briefly told his parents about the banker's affairs.

"The banker's house is really grand. We can't afford it in our lifetime. The Qin family is the master of the house and treats us well. There is meat at noon. When we came back, everyone was given ten big steamed buns."

"Isn't that what it should be? If I knew your identities, I would give you more."

"Mom, don't mention it. It's the husband's family of the fourth daughter-in-law's sister. There are so many twists and turns, so don't make any decisions."

Mother Guo angrily pointed at him with her hand, "Isn't it for your own good?"

"Then don't mention it."

After saying that, the second child also left. The third child saw that the situation was not good and immediately found an excuse to escape.

Father Guo warned her, "Let's stay home and don't cause trouble for our children. What belongs to the banker belongs to the banker. Don't think about what is there and what is not."

"understood!"

Although Guo's mother was a little tight-lipped, she was still kind to her grandchildren. She gave the buns to the second child, one to each of the third children, and hid the rest.

Even Father Guo doesn’t have a share, it’s really irritating!

Qin Yue has no time to spare every day. After the land is plowed, she still has to take them to sow.

She planted two rows of fruit tree seeds against the wall. She could have bought saplings, but she had space to provide seeds and well water, so that step could be omitted.

Near the bamboo forest, two rows of fruit trees were also planted, both of which were apple trees, making it easier for Little Iron and the others to pick and eat.

Two rows of fruit trees should also be planted near the back door to separate the pickle factory from the vegetable garden, making it look nice and not empty.

There is an open space in the middle, all growing food.

I bought 120 two acres of land, one of which was designated as a farm base, and another 120 one acre, for which I had to pay [-] kilograms of public grain. The food grown in the space was so good that it was a pity to pay the public grain, and I was afraid of getting into trouble. It can only be planted outside.

The ten workers did whatever they were told and never talked much. Qin Yue was satisfied and continued with them for another ten days.

Just as she was leading the workers to plant and water the fields, a stone came to look for her in the field.

"Daughter-in-law, something happened to Mrs. Zhou and Mr. Qiao!"

Qin Yue didn't even raise her head and continued to direct, "From here to here, light these seeds, one every ten meters, and then pour water from the bucket."

Seeing that she didn't respond, Shitou continued.

"They were taken away by people from the Yamen. At this moment, everyone in the village is watching the fun at the entrance of the village."

"What does it have to do with our family?"

"Aunt Sun has also gone. She may not be back for a while."

"Then you go and get on top of her. The work won't stop."

Shitou opened his mouth, but seemed to hesitate.

Qin Yue raised her head and glanced at him, "Are you soft-hearted again?"

He nodded, "Although Mrs. Qiao may not say it well, she is the daughter-in-law of the Sun family. She has both prosperity and loss. The older one is in school, and the younger one is still so young. It's really easy to catch someone, but isn't that the Sun family?"

"If she didn't do anything wrong, she would just go to the Yamen to ask if anything could happen. Don't make a fuss."

"Oh!"

After the stone left, Qin Yue stood up, handed the seeds to one of the workers, told him how to plant them, and left.
