Su Li said, “Did you have a gang of bad friends in the past?”
She rembered that Yao Jun had many underlings behind him. Although those people were usually lazy, she felt that they had room for improvent.
Looking at Yao Jun’s current state, it was obvious. In the past, he was also lazy. Now, he could complete all the work he was asked to do very well. Although he would sotis be lazy, he completed all the arrangents in the end.
When Yao Jun heard Su Li’s words, he corrected her. “Boss, they are not bad friends. Those are all my brothers who have lived through life and death with .”
Uh… Although those people weren’t that good, their friendship shouldn’t be that bad!?
Su Li didn’t want to argue with him about this. She waved her hand and said, “Alright, alright, alright. If you say they are brothers who have lived through life and death with you, they are brothers who have lived through life and death with you. What are they doing now?”
Yao Jun said awkwardly, “Uh… They might be thinking about life at ho!”
That group of people were used to being lazy. Furthermore, they were especially arrogant and looked down on earning money in their family’s fields. They did not want jobs with high labor, so they stayed at ho every day.
The corners of Su Li’s mouth twitched. Lying at ho was equivalent to thinking about life. She did not expect Yao Jun to have learned the art of speech.
Su Li said, “Then go and ask if they want to find a job. I’ll give them money to work. Get them to co and work for .”
She planned to recruit those people and arrange so things for them. That way, everyone would be much more relaxed and she could expand her production.
She did not plan to use the people in the He family village at the mont. These people did not give her a good feeling. She did not want to cause trouble for herself.
Yao Jun thought for a mont and said, “Alright, I’ll go and ask, but I can’t guarantee that they’ll co!”
Su Li directly ntioned the treatnt. “80 copper coins a day, but it doesn’t include food and accommodation. You can eat here if you want. It’ll be deducted from their salary.”
Eighty copper coins a day?
When Yao Jun heard this number, he could not help but swallow his saliva. It was not easy to find such a good job. If those people were unwilling, they must have been kicked in the head by a donkey!
But why was he a free laborer when they all had pay?
Yao Jun looked at Su Li pitifully and said, “Boss, what about ?”
Su Li glanced at him and said, “You’ve already sold yourself to , and you still want your salary? Why are you dreaming?”
“Ah?!” Yao Jun lowered his head in disappointnt.
He was really happy for nothing. Just now, he thought that he could get his salary too!
Seeing his disappointed expression, Su Li stopped teasing him and said, “I’m just teasing you. You will also get 80 copper coins a day. I’ll pay you once a month.”
“Really?” Yao Jun couldn’t believe it.
Su Li said, “You can choose not to. I’d get to save money then.”
Yao Jun nodded vigorously. “Yes, yes, yes. I still have to save money to get married!”
Yao Jun counted with his fingers. 80 copper coins a day ant 2,400 copper coins a month. Even if he spent 400 copper coins, he could still save two taels a month. This way, he could save a lot of silver a year.
As long as he had money, his wish to marry a wife was not far away!
Su Li looked at Yao Jun’s yearning expression and patted his shoulder. “Work hard. It’s not a dream to have a wife and children!”
Yao Jun stood up straight. “Boss, don’t worry! I won’t disappoint you. I’ll go back and ask them later. I think they’ll definitely be willing to co.”
This kind of work was not tiring. It was better to earn money than to stay at ho and do nothing.
Su Li nodded. “Go ahead. I have to go ho tomorrow too.”
Tomorrow was Su Ze’s birthday. She had to rush back with the children. Yao Jun grinned and said, “Why don’t I go with you? I can take care of you on the way.”
The main reason was that he wanted to take the ox cart. Walking was really a little tiring!
Su Li saw through his thoughts and said, “All your expenses will be deducted from your salary. When the ti cos, don’t shout if your salary is low!”
Yao Jun said, “I won’t, I won’t!”
There was food, water, and salary. Such a life was simply too beautiful.
For dinner, Su Li made a fried lotus root box and stir-fried a pig intestine with chili and garlic. Slling the fragrance emitted by the pig intestine, He Yufeng, who was in the courtyard, felt hungry.
He felt that his wife was really becoming more and more capable. Now, she was simply good at everything. He was a little afraid that she would kick him one day!
Su Li even stead a piece of at with taro. She had brought these taros over from the Su family last ti. Seeing that she liked them, Jiao Yuying had packed so for her before she left.
The fragrance of stead at wafted everywhere. He Dahai, who was next door, slled the fragrance and felt especially upset. He originally thought that he could get a hundred taels of silver, but in the end, he didn’t get anything and even offended Su Li.
In the past, as long as Su Li made delicious food, she would give them so. Ever since that incident, Su Li treated them like air.
“Cough, cough…” He Dahai coughed again.
Chen Xiang brought the porridge in for him. “Hubby, it’s ti to eat.”
He Dahai glanced at the porridge in his bowl and said in disdain, “Why is it porridge again?”
The corners of Chen Xiang’s mouth twitched as she explained, “Isn’t there not much food at ho? It’s better for us to be more thrifty.”
He Dahai’s face turned cold. “Isn’t it just the autumn harvest? Why is there no food?”
Chen Xiang explained patiently, “It’s not like you don’t know that the harvest this year is not good. Moreover, this winter hasn’t passed yet. We should be more thrifty.”
He Dahai said unhappily, “Don’t you still have your salary? You can just take it out to buy food.”
Chen Xiang felt bitter in her mouth. She would not use the silver unless she had no other choice. Moreover, she did not have any salary now. After using it, she would not have any more.
“The money was left for the child, so we can’t use it. We won’t have any more money in the future. We have to save the money in our hands.”
When He Dahai heard what she said, he glared at her angrily and scolded, “Useless thing, didn’t you see the village chief’s wife go to work? Don’t you know how to shalessly go over and help?”
Chen Xiang lowered her head and did not say anything. He Dahai’s personality had changed drastically in the past few days. In the past, although he could not work, he was still considered considerate. Now, his personality was irritable and he would scold people for no reason.
Moreover, he didn’t like anything he saw now. It was as if everyone was an eyesore in front of him. She didn’t know when such days would end.
Su Li didn’t know about the argunt next door. She brought the food to the table. Riceball followed closely behind, almost wagging its tail..
