Flowers are expensive

Chapter 222
"Is this what you call work? Just find a child and you can finish it in less than half an hour!"

"According to what you said, what do you want us people to do? Isn't it over if you find a child to do it? Really! Don't think that your Tian Yisheng won the exam! I heard that if you win the exam, you can't be an official. There are too many! What are you doing with such a big score?" Cao Kun complained dissatisfied.

"I won't talk about this with you, anyway, today the field work has to be done one by one!" Mo Xiang was really a little annoyed.

"Do you know how much work there is in the field?" Wu Qing interjected, "Now Haitang doesn't know where to go, and the hostess doesn't come back. How can we know what work to do? If we don't assign work to us, we I can only talk nonsense here, don’t you think?”

There were also people beside me who were silent, and there were also a few booing.Mo Xiang lowered her face and said, "Anyway, if you stay here and don't work, I will remember it as a lack of work!"

"What? Lack of work? Xie Moxiang, don't you do things like this?" Wu Qing didn't pay attention to the little girl Moxiang at all, and threatened the weeds in her hand, "Since you said we were short of work, then we Let’s just forget about lack of work! What kind of job are you doing? When the hostess comes back, we won’t be hired to work, and we’ll settle the wages! Let’s go!”

Cao Kun and the others should really get together, throw away the hoe and shovel in their hands, and follow Wu Qing to go.Mo Xiang hurriedly shouted: "Hey! You just left like this? What about the work in the field?"

Wu Qing turned back angrily and said: "Didn't you say that we are short of work? If there is a shortage, there will be a shortage. At worst, one day's wages will be deducted. Who is afraid of anyone!"

"Ah really!"

"Let them go!" Yi Sheng's voice came from the ridge of the field.

"Let them go?" Moxiang turned her head and looked at Yi Sheng in surprise and asked, "Once they leave, who will do the work in the field? In two days, there will be a bunch of weeds growing in the field. Gotta do it all!"

Yi Sheng looked at Wu Qing and the others coldly and said, "If I remember correctly, your boss signed a labor contract with you at first, right?"

"So what, Juren old man?" Wu Qing walked back slowly and asked.

"You're only here to play when the contract is signed? Going through the motions? If you know the two characters, you should open your eyes wide and take a good look at the clauses written on it. You just threw your arms and left, and the loss caused to Huatian , your hostess can go to the Yamen to appeal to you for compensation!"

"Hey! Who are you scaring? It's amazing to study for two more days!" Wu Qing raised her eyebrows and said.

Yi Sheng said coldly: "If you don't believe me, just leave! When your hostess comes back, you won't bring the contract to talk to you, I'll change your surname!" After he finished speaking, he took Mo Xiang's hand and said, "Don't worry about it. They! Talking nonsense to them will only hurt your spirits! If they don’t work, just remember it. If they are absent from work, they will be absent from work.

Moxiang had seen the contract before, but she didn't know it was so effective, but she believed in Yisheng, so she turned to the women helpers and said, "I'll invite Aunt Gong to supervise the work later, and anyone who is lazy will be recorded one by one." Next. If you want to leave, just leave, and see how my fourth aunt will deal with you when she comes back! Don't cry when the time comes!"

"That's right." Yi Sheng looked at his daughter-in-law's aura and was very satisfied.

When Mo Xiang said this, no one in the flower field dared to leave.The two left afterward, and there was a noisy discussion in the flower field.Cao Kun gave the young couple a dissatisfied look at their backs, and complained: "What are you proud of! Isn't it just a trick? You always talk about the yamen, really think you are the county lord? I don't like Tian Yisheng's show off the most. He looks so good! Otherwise, I would have sent him to Haizi Bridge to cool off a long time ago for the sake of looking at his body!"

An old woman next to her stooped to pick up the sickle and said, "You can't get used to Yi Sheng being a Juren? Then you can come and have a look! He is the only master of Juren in our towns and villages. If you can make another One, I count you as a hero!" "You damn old woman..."

"Hmph! Otherwise, hurry up and get to work! I won't let the Cairo family come to see it, and I'll give you a sabotage!"

The people in the flower field gradually dispersed and went about their work.Only Cao Kun and Wu Qing still had stern faces, looking very unhappy.Wu Qing came over and patted Cao Kun on the shoulder, pursed his mouth and said: "Go to work, who will let him be a master? He is the niece and son-in-law of the boss, and the emperor's relatives. We can't afford to provoke him!"

"Bah, a relative of the emperor, isn't he just studying for two days more? He just got up like a dog? I want to see if he can really get a champion and put it on his ancestral grave!" Cao Kun was very displeased. Convinced, he spat out a mouthful of saliva and cursed.

"Don't be angry, people have to bow their heads under the eaves! Our hostess is not a fuel-efficient lamp, let's work!"

"I'm quitting!" Cao Kun shook his hands and said, "It's not that I can't find a job. Go back and ask Sister Meizhi to see if she has any shortage of people!" Wu Qing came over curiously and asked, "Cao Meizhi wants to hire someone." ? What are you here for? She is no longer in charge of the village now."

"Hmph! The farm is no longer under her control, but haven't she and Ma Liu made any money on the farm in the past few years? She plans to go out and do it alone, just like our hostess. Anyway, Ma Liu is dead, so she bangs." Be a widow, feel at ease!" Cao Kun winked at Wu Qing and smiled, "Hey, do you want me to guide you? I remember my son, you liked sister Mei Zhi very much at that time, if your mother didn't stop you, I'm afraid you have come to propose marriage, right?"

"What are you talking about?" Wu Qing smiled and punched Cao Kun, "When did Chen Zhima rotten? I have a daughter-in-law, and the housekeeper Cao's wife is a new widow, so I won't be afraid to say that." Her reputation?"

"Still thinking about her?" Cao Kun said with a sinister smile on his face, "I'm afraid you haven't forgotten it in the past few years?"

"The more you talk, the more outrageous it is! What are you going to do?" Cao Kun pointed to the piece of chrysanthemum in front of him, and said in a low voice, "Isn't that the thing!" "She also wants to grow flowers?"

"It's not like you don't know that besides food, fruits and vegetables, medicinal flowers and pepper are grown most on the farm. She has some experience in this matter." "Isn't that against the hostess?"

"Cough! Why do you care so much? It's the two of them's business to work hard. What's your business? We just work and get paid!" When the two were whispering, Mrs. Gong came over from not far away.Seeing that they still refused to work, Mrs. Gong yelled bluntly: "Hey, are you two still not moving? Wait for eight big sedan chairs to carry you!"

Cao Kun and Wu Qing looked at each other, then turned to Mrs. Gong and said, "We brothers really don't want to do this job! We have a stomachache today, so you can remember whatever you like? Don't you allow people to have sores and stomach troubles? "

"How do you two look like you have a stomachache?"

"Hmph!" Cao Kun and Wu Qing turned around and left.Mrs. Gong yelled a few words behind them, but they ignored Mrs. Gong at all.The old lady who taught Cao Kun just now came over and whispered to Mrs. Gong: "They're so upset, they obviously don't want to do it anymore, they want to go to a better place!"

"What good place?"

"I heard that Cao Meizhi bought some land and plans to come out and do it alone! Cao Kun must not be able to stay, so she went to her cousin! You have to tell Moxiang about this, and be careful that he takes the people here It's all pulled over."

"Damn it!" Gong said angrily, "If he dares, I will never stop with him! If he really pulls people over, wouldn't it be pear trees and caomei branches to enjoy the shade? What do you people know about planting flowers at first?" ? It wasn’t Lihua who taught me! It’s a good idea!”

"But if Cao Meizhi pays well, you can't guarantee that they won't go. You should plan ahead! When will the hostess come back?"

"Still busy in the city! No, I have to talk to Mo Xiang! Mama Ding, if you want to hear something, tell me quickly!"

"I know."

When eating at noon, there were several people missing from the table.In addition to Cao Kun and Wu Qing, there are three helpers who did not come.Mrs. Gong couldn't help being a little annoyed, and asked with her hips on her hips, "Where did everyone go? If you don't come to eat, you don't say a word, what a waste of food!" Mama Ding came to her side and said, "I saw Cao Kun and called the three of them. Let's go, I guess it's called to drink!"

"It's that Cao Kun again!" Gong patted the table and said angrily, "What the hell is he trying to do? He really wants to drag everyone to Cao Meizhi's side?"

No one on the table spoke, and everyone knew it well.When Cao Kun came back to Huatian just now, he was very proud and persuaded everyone to go to Cao Meizhi.The others didn't move, each with their own ulterior motives, but those three couldn't stand the persuasion and followed Cao Kun away.

Sure enough, right after the meal, Dong Chuan came running over, saying that the five of them drank too much wine in the village, they couldn't get up there drunk, and couldn't come to work in the afternoon.Gong was so angry that she wanted to find someone, but was stopped by Mo Xiang.Gong said: "It's clear that we want to poach people away! Cao Meizhi is going too far!"

Mo Xiang sneered and said, "If they don't want to, can Cao Meizhi still tie them up? It must have given them a sweet treat and coaxed them to go there!" Mother Ding interjected, "Then Cao Kun said, There is a shortage of managers over there, and the wages are good, dozens of copper coins higher than ours."

"I'm not afraid of losing her!" Gong said angrily.

"What is she afraid of?" Yuan Shi came out of the Hongling room and said, "Doesn't she have so many pearls? I don't know where they got them from, maybe they were dug out from graves! How wicked!"

Moxiang turned around and said to the remaining helpers and women: "Don't worry about where Cao Meizhi's pearls came from, anyway, everyone can't be too unfeeling! No matter what, we have to wait until my fourth aunt comes back, don't forget Now, who took you to work in this flower field back then, you can't forget your roots like that!" Some of the diners were silent, while others nodded.In the afternoon, those three really didn't come.The next morning, when Moxiang passed the flower field, she saw only three or four people standing on the edge of the field and whispering.She walked over and asked, "Mother Ding, why are you the only ones?"

Mother Ding shook her head repeatedly and said, "Mo Xiang, I'm just going to tell you! We old ladies and old men came here this morning, and the rest have gone to Cao Meizhi's side!"

"What! Except you..." Mo Xiang looked at the people in front of her in surprise, they were all older people in the village.Maybe I couldn't face it, so I didn't go there.The younger ones from other grades didn't come.Mo Xiang didn't expect such a tragic scene today, she was so angry that she couldn't speak for a while!

Not far away, Yuan Shi ran towards her anxiously while waving and shouting: "Moxiang! Moxiang! Where's Yisheng from your family?"

Mo Xiang hurried forward and said, "Yi Sheng just went out with his grandfather to Qili Township. What's the matter, Aunt Yuan?"

"Ouch!" Yuan patted her thigh and said, "Why did you leave? I'm still waiting for him to give me justice!"

"What happened?"

"Let's go, talk while walking!" It turned out that Gong Shi went to the field this morning to look at the people, and found that most of them had gone to Cao Shi's side, so he was so angry that he returned to the yard and started cursing.At this time, Cao Kun came to the door and made a lot of excuses for those who didn't come. Anyway, just one sentence, people can't come.
