Soul: At the beginning, the father died, and the eldest and second brothers wanted to separate the f

The news that the Xie family wanted to hire someone to help with the work spread throughout the village in no time, and anyone who had free time went to the village chief's house.

The village chief also took this matter very seriously, because Xie Jiaojiao just said that she could distribute this thing to the villagers to grow together and make money with them, but the villagers had to sign a contract with her...

Many people came from the village and gathered in the yard of the village chief's house. The village chief prepared many long benches for everyone to sit on.

Some of them are relatively poor people in the village who really want to work and earn some money to supplement their family income, but most of them are just here to watch the fun.

When many people saw Xie Jiaojiao, they all smiled and asked, "Ms. Xie, I heard that you are hiring people to work in your house? Are you lying to us?"

As soon as he finished speaking, many people started laughing.

Xie Jiaojiao looked at the faces of those who were mocking her and wrote them all down.

At this time, the village chief spoke up: "Everyone, be quiet!"

The scene became quiet instantly, but some people still had sarcastic smiles on their faces.

"Xie family, you speak."

Xie Jiaojiao stood up and said with a smile: "I think everyone knows that our family wants to hire some people to help with the work."

As soon as she finished speaking, someone in the crowd laughed out loud, with a look of disdain: "Xie Jiaojiao, are you kidding us?"

Many people echoed.

"That's right! We're from the same village, and we're hiring people to do the work!"

"Your family is not rich! You won't even be able to pay for the guests when the time comes. Don't make everyone laugh."

When someone said this, someone else agreed. After hearing what others said, many people instantly felt that what others said made sense.

Some people just stood up and left, totally disrespecting us.

Xie Jiaojiao sneered and looked at the person who had just spoken: "Since I can invite people, I can naturally pay the money! I didn't ask you to pay, why are you making such a fuss?"

The man was retorted by Xie Jiaojiao and snorted without saying anything.

Xie Jiaojiao remembered him. He was from the He family and was the husband of the He family's daughter-in-law who had a good relationship with Chen Hongju, He Youcai.

"Xie Jiaojiao, then tell me, what kind of work did you ask everyone to do?"

"I would like to ask you to help me collect the sugar cane from the two mu of land at the foot of the opposite mountain. I will give you ten copper coins a day."

As soon as she finished speaking, several people immediately raised their hands and expressed their willingness to do it.

Someone in the crowd laughed again: "That corn stalk doesn't look like a corn stalk, and the reed doesn't look like a reed. You said it was sugar cane! It's really hilarious!"

Many people didn't say anything, but they all looked at Xie Jiaojiao.

Xie Jiaojiao looked at the person who was speaking: "Oh, you mean, I don't even know what it is when I grow it myself? Have you ever seen sugarcane?"

Everyone looked at that person again.

The man looked a little embarrassed: "I... I have never seen anything like sugarcane."

The village chief spoke up at this time: "Go away, I've never seen you talk before!"

The man closed his mouth reluctantly.

Seeing that he had shut up, the village chief said, "Those of you who don't want to do it can go back, and those who want to do it can stay!"

As soon as he said this, many people got up and left.

Fewer than ten remained.

But when Xie Jiaojiao looked, she found that half of the people here were the ones who had just laughed at her!

They were asked to leave directly. Among the remaining five people, one looked very young, probably about the same age as Niu Er.

When he saw Xie Jiaojiao looking at him, he was afraid that he would be driven away: "Xie Xiaogu, please don't let me go, please keep me here, I am very strong, or you can give me two cents less, I want eight cents, if that's not possible, five cents is fine!"

Everyone around him looked at him with sympathy.

He didn't care about those looks and just wanted to stay.

Xie Jiaojiao remembered his name, Tian Hu. His father was killed by a rolling stone while performing labor service. His mother took the money his father paid as compensation and ran off with a peddler. He then lived with his grandparents. Most of the family’s land was sold when his grandfather was ill, but he was still not cured. His grandmother raised him by begging in the town and the village.

Now that his grandmother is old and can't move, he relies on going up the mountain from time to time to chop firewood and sell it in town to make a living.

However, no matter how hard his family life was, there was no news of him stealing from anyone. He was a good person at heart.

Xie Jiaojiao thought about it and didn't say much. She kept him. Don't call her a saint or anything like that. If you have the conditions and don't help such a person, you will feel guilty about it.

Tian Hu was very happy to stay and vowed that he would never be lazy.

Xie Jiaojiao said to the remaining five people: "If you harvest the sugarcane and finish the work, I will not only pay you, but I can also leave some for you to plant at home. However, I have two conditions. First, you can't give it to others, including your relatives and friends. Second, when the sugarcane is ripe, you can only sell it to me! If you agree, we will sign a contract. If you don't agree, you can leave now."

Some of them were confused: "Ms. Xie, what's the use of planting so much sugarcane?"

Xie Jiaojiao kept it a secret: "As for the use, you will know it in the end. Of course, we can also have you finish the work for my family and then sign the contract."

Everyone nodded.

It was considered as an agreement.

"Then tomorrow morning, we will gather at the foot of the opposite mountain. I will pay you every day. This way you don't have to worry that I won't pay you or that I will run away."

Everyone touched their heads embarrassedly.

Seeing that the matter was done successfully, everyone left.

Wang Qiushi came forward and held Xie Jiaojiao: "Jiaojiao, can you let your aunt plant some of these sugarcane seeds when the time comes?"

The village chief helped his wife.

Xie Jiaojiao smiled and said, "It's fine if Auntie is willing to plant it, but we still have to sign a contract."

Wang Qiushi nodded immediately: "Of course, of course!"

Xie Jiaojiao nodded, said goodbye to the village chief and his wife, and left with the basket.

When Wang Qiushi saw Xie Jiaojiao leaving, he took Chen Shouren into the house and showed him the things Xie Jiaojiao had sent him.

"I first heard from the villagers that her family had become wealthy, and I thought how much money she could earn even if she just cooked food. I never thought she would be so generous today."

Chen Shouren usually accepts some gifts, but looking at the one given by Xie Jiaojiao, it is really a generous gift in this village.

"Next time someone comes, don't get angry when you open your mouth."

"Okay, got it!" Wang Qiushi said as he put the things away.

When she returned home, Sun Ruhua asked her how things went.

"It's all done, mother. In the next two days, get some bamboo and use it to enclose the jars we use to make soy sauce."

Sun Ruhua nodded immediately: "Okay, Mom got it."

On the other hand, when Xie Zhili knew about this, he would never do it no matter what. Not to mention him, Zhou Cuihong was also very unwilling to do it. Under her instigation, Xie Zhili rushed directly from his home to the door of Xie Jiaojiao's home.

Seeing the gate closed, he immediately shouted, "Xie Jiaojiao, get out of here!"
