Farm widows have space, pick up a treasure on the way to escape

Chapter 180 Dividends at the end of the year
Everyone was so reprimanded by the village chief that they didn't know what to say.

They just want to go to the village chief to say good things to the Lu family. They don't ask for more. It would be good if one person from the family can join the Lu family workshop. The Lu family workshop is still short of people anyway.

But who knew that the village chief had benefited from the Lu family and his whole heart was biased towards the Lu family. How could he take them, the indigenous villagers, seriously?
"Village Chief, you are not being kind when you say this. Why aren't our own fields well taken care of? They are all working in the workshop. There are not many things to do. Who can't do it? There are so many people in your family. , got a lot of benefits, right? Tell us a few words about what’s going on?”

"Yes, we respect you as the village chief. You have stayed in your own right and haven't caused any trouble in these years. You are from the same village. You can't say it so harshly, can you?"

"You have taken advantage of the Lu family, and you don't want us to get a share of the pie. Is this fair to say?"

……

These people became more and more enthusiastic as they talked. They didn't think there was anything wrong with what they said. They were not afraid when they saw the village chief's sullen face. Anyway, the village chief was just taking advantage of the Lu family. If they exposed him, they would definitely not dare to eat alone again.

Listening to these people talking, the village chief immediately laughed angrily and said very bachelorly: "Yes, I just benefited from his family. Several of my sons have helped her family, and all the women in the family are also here. His workshop got a lot of good stuff at the end of the year, what can you do?"

Originally, I wanted to reason with these people, let them work hard, and let the Lu family see their sincerity, so that I can recommend them next time when I recruit workers, wouldn't it be natural?

Who would have known that before he even said a few words, these people would bite back and he immediately lost his thoughts. There was no need to waste his friendship with the Lu family for such a person. Even if such a person entered the workshop, he would only give He causes trouble and loses his face when the time comes.

Everyone choked, feeling that the village chief was so shameless and dared to admit that he had gained benefits.

But before they could say anything, the village chief continued: "The reason why so many people in my family are able to join the Lu family workshop is because my family is hard-working. Just ask them, although my family does not earn the most in the workshop. , but there are definitely a lot of them, everyone knows that the Lu family gets paid according to the amount of work done, lazy guys like you can’t make any money even if you go!"

Since they had a falling out, the village chief didn't want to give them a good look, and continued: "You'd better be calm. If something happens in the village, I will go directly to the county government office to find the county magistrate to drive you pests away from the village." Go out, there just happen to be too many people in this village, I’m in charge of Feifei!”

After saying that, he didn't wait for them to speak, and just drove them outside.

No one dared to say anything. The sons of the village chief's family were standing beside them like this. If there was to be a fight, they would be no match.

What's more, no matter how young the village chief is, he is still a small village official. If something goes wrong, the county magistrate will definitely side with the village chief.

A group of people left in a huddle, still cursing.

Mrs. Liu, the village chief's daughter-in-law, spat at their backs and cursed: "They are all shameless dirty things. What bad luck!"

The Lu family didn't know about the bad things that happened at the village chief's house. After working hard for more than half a year, they finally had some time off.

After workers’ wages and benefits have been paid, it’s time for their families to share dividends.

Mrs. Sun took out all the money she earned during this period and put it in front of everyone. She counted it and found that it was a thousand and two hundred and seventy taels of silver.

According to the proportion of previous investment, the public was allocated 480 taels of silver and 190 copper plates, the second and third bedrooms of the big house were allocated 95 taels of silver and 250 copper plates respectively, and the two Zhang brothers were allocated [-] taels of silver and [-] copper plates respectively. .

There are still 25 taels of silver and [-] copper coins left to count as the pension for Mr. Lu and Mr. Sun.

The second bedroom of the first house only received 20 taels of silver, which seemed like a lot at that time, but now it has nearly 200 taels of silver, which feels heavy in my hand and makes me feel indescribable.

Not to mention the two Zhang brothers, all the investment money was borrowed from He Jiuniang. If it weren't for He Jiuniang, they would still be paupers now.Lu Guilan discussed with Mrs. Shen in a very excited mood, pulled He Jiuniang over and said, "Third sister-in-law, you lent us all our money before. Now we have decided to return 20 taels of silver to each family. Although it is not a lot, It’s just a little bit of our thoughts, you must not refuse!”

He Jiuniang didn't want to refuse, and took it with a smile. She had indeed helped them, and the interest was not excessive.

After the money was divided, everyone was very happy. They gathered around the fire and thought about the future, thinking that they would definitely make more money next year.

This is for sure. The reason why we can get so much money now is because the family bought so many more fields.

The two brothers of the Zhang family who bought the fields are also included in it. After all, they also invested money in the first place.

Next year there will not only be income from the garment and food workshops, but also income from the fields.

During this period, Old Man Lu also developed some methods for growing medicinal materials, and he will be able to plant them in the fields in the spring.

When the medicinal materials workshop is established, it will be another source of income.

The future was bright. A group of men, led by Old Man Lu, were all drunk. Finally, the wives of each family carried their men back to the house.

Then--

The job of washing dishes fell on He Jiuniang, a manless widow!
Really!

She looked at the sky speechlessly, and Lianhua came over with a smile: "Aunt Jiuniang, let me wash it!"

She also received a lot of bonuses during the previous welfare payments. Now she has 30 taels in her small treasury, which is the monthly salary given by Sun and the bonus at the end of the year.

Originally, she wanted to return the money to Ms. Sun and the money she had given to redeem her life, but Ms. Sun said that she didn’t earn much now, and her hands would be empty after paying back the money, so she asked her to save some more. return.

In fact, it was just a disguised refusal. Lotus knew that she had nothing to repay the Lu family's kindness, and she only wanted to work harder in the coming year.

"Okay, pass me the plate!"

He Jiuniang is not the kind of person who exploits children. It is good that she is willing to help him.

It was already late at night, and the other children in the family had gone to bed early. Only Lotus, the older one, was thinking sensibly about cleaning up the mess.

Whenever this happens, He Jiuniang can't help but sigh in her heart, these children in the family are really more sensible than the other, and they can't do it well.

The other children took the exam because they had money, but the child Lianhua was sensible simply because she was grateful and wanted to repay the Lu family.

"Auntie, let's set up our stall in Fucheng after the Chinese New Year."

When the washing was almost done, Lianhua suddenly talked about doing business.
