Chapter 97 Ayun's Provocation
He jumped down from the log and shouted angrily, "Stone, what are you doing?"
"It's okay, I just reminded you that your legs are shaking!" Shi Tou said aggrievedly.
"Sister, we won, sister won!" Xiaohua jumped off her second sister and threw herself on Ji Xiaobei and shouted.
The people around him all sighed, "This girl is really amazing. She defeated a man in just a few moves."
"Yes, the daughter of the Daniu family is truly amazing. She was able to crush such a thick wooden stick, but she was still standing. She must be the strongest person in the entire Jijia Bay!"
"I think Cishui Town can be ranked among them."
……
Senior Ji was so shocked that his eyes almost popped out of his head. He murmured with trembling lips, "Too amazing. I have never seen such a woman in my life..."
Ma Xiaoqi jumped up happily and shouted involuntarily: "Sun Erniang, we won!"
Ji Xiaobei: Sun Erniang, who is Sun Erniang?
Fu Jichang was convinced and looked at Ji Xiaobei with admiration.
He had been practicing martial arts since he was a child, but he didn't expect to lose to a woman.
"Mr. Fu, you have taken so much care of these children!" Ji Xiaobei said with a smile.
Fu Jichang bowed.
"Come here, both of you, and continue practicing standing still!"
……
Today, the land reclamation work was basically finished. Shugen settled the wages for the men. The men held the copper coins happily and kept saying, "Shugen, if there is work for the Ji family in the future, don't forget to call me brother."
The women who picked up stones also received 10 cents and went back in groups of three or five, carrying their baskets.
They hope there are more stones in this wasteland so they can pick them up in a few more days and earn money right at their doorstep.
Shugen's wife went to the town to wash clothes for others. She only earned 13 cents a day by going out early and coming back late.
When they returned home in the evening, they heard that Ji Sannai's granddaughter, Danier, was helping to weave bracelets at home and could earn 10 cents a day.
The women who picked up stones felt unhappy. Why could they earn 10 cents by staying at home for a day and making a few broken bracelets, while we only earned 10 cents by working in the fields for a whole day?
The women at home were grumbling with the men, and it was obvious that they no longer had the excitement they had during the day.
But the next day, he still went to pick up stones obediently.
But they were all too lazy and couldn't muster up any energy.
Aunt Song didn't know what was going on. She scolded with a smile, "Why, you earned 10 cents on your first day, and you have so much money to burn that you don't have the energy to work today."
The women knew that she was on Ji Xiaobei's side, so they all pursed their lips, said nothing, and buried their heads in their work.
During the break to drink water, several women gathered together and whispered.
"Dani'er went to Ji Xiaobei's house with us, and Ji Xiaobei asked her to make bracelets, while we came to work in the fields. Why?"
"That's right, that's right. She never asked Erya from Mrs. Wang's family to come. That girl works so efficiently..."
The women talked to each other, and finally went to pick up stones angrily.
Aunt Wang didn't understand, so she pulled a young wife aside and asked.
The young wife turned her head away and said nothing.
More than half of the wasteland has not been cleaned up yet. If I don’t work hard today, I will have to be lazy tomorrow.
Aunt Song cursed in her heart: They are spoiled. They can make money right at home, but they are still picky.
After work, Aunt Song paid them their wages, and the women left grumbling.
That night, Erya's cousin-in-law Ayun found Wang Erya and asked her why she didn't go to Ji Xiaobei's place but Danier went instead.
Erya was furious and said that Ji Xiaobei was looking down on her and that she had to make a straw bracelet by herself, and she would not let Ji Xiaobei control her.
The woman agreed with her and said, "Yes, we earn 10 cents a day working, and Danier also earns 10 cents a day staying at her house."
Humph! I'd rather not do this job.
At this time, Erya's mother came out and was furious when she heard what they said.
Ji Xiaobei had originally agreed to let Erya pick up stones, so why was he making things difficult for her?
She said angrily: "Ji Xiaobei's family suddenly became rich, rented the ancestral hall, and let relatives live in the ancestral hall. In my opinion, Ji Li is biased towards her family."
Ah Yun nodded and said, "Both the head of the village and Ji Xiaobei have the surname Ji, so they are one family. Maybe in the future this ancestral hall will belong to Ji Xiaobei's family. Can the tablets of our Wang family's ancestors still be placed in the ancestral hall? I don't think so..."
Erya's mother didn't say anything, but she was very angry. She was not at home during the day, so the old man Wang Fuyou took his two sons to help. If she was at home, she would definitely not let them go.
Wang Fuyou heard some chatter outside, which seemed to be about the ancestral hall, and he cursed in the yard, "Er Ya, come home and stop gossiping."
Erya's mother came into the courtyard angrily and started to scold: "You are a coward. If Senior Ji told you to go, you would go. If Senior Ji told you to die, would you die?"
Wang Fuyou was so angry that he took off his shoes and threw them at her: "I'm going to beat you to death, you old bitch, what are you talking about?"
……
Ayun visited a few more households, and the women secretly discussed that they should work slower tomorrow, as they would still be paid 10 cents anyway.
.
We spent a whole day editing yesterday, and as practice makes perfect, we were particularly efficient today and completed all the orders that Zheng Guo had received.
I also made a few zodiac dog head bracelets.
Ji Xiaobei originally wanted to open his own shop, but he is too busy now, simply too busy.
Xiaoju and Shitou don’t have the ability to open a shop on their own, so they still need to be trained bit by bit.
So, she decided to take the bracelet to the county to sell it and make some money first.
The gold-plated dog head craftsmanship was too modern, so we asked Master Haixia to make it look old.
You know what, Haixia is quite skilled. With just a few simple tools, the golden dog head looks much more ancient, but it is something that ancient techniques could never have achieved.
Ji Xiaobei happily accepted the bracelet.
The samples that Ji Xiaobei gave to the county silver shop were mainly auspicious zodiac crystal models.
The items for my mother are mainly original and simple in style. She also wore some classical silver jewelry as decoration.
She asked Haixia to weave two necklaces for her, which were paired with gold and jade pendants. They were restrained and elegant, and gave a sense of comfort that was back to nature.
Modern people like this kind of authentic things.
Haixia's mother was a little worried. She had so many things in her hands. What if they couldn't be sold? Her family would not only not get paid, but they might also be fired.
She asked cautiously: "Xiaobei, can you sell so many bracelets?"
Ji Xiaobei patted his chest and said confidently: "It will definitely work. I will go to the county to deliver the goods the day after tomorrow."
Haixia Niang nodded and said, if the boss says it can be sold, then it can be sold.
Ji Xiaobei had been planning to go to the county tomorrow, but when Aunt Song came to collect her wages today, she said that she didn't work as hard today as she did yesterday, and that those women seemed to have something wrong with their hands, but she couldn't find out what it was.
Ji Xiaobei became suspicious and decided to go to the field to take a look tomorrow.
