At the beginning of the year of famine, the lucky girl of the farm family used cheats to support the
Chapter 164 Wage payment
The villagers could not have imagined that the Duan family would suffer such a change. Duan Dashan's new house was not yet completed, and the villagers owed a lot of wages. When the workers were taken away by the government, they became anxious. They all rushed to his door and blocked the door to demand their wages.
Fubao, Erya and Duan Laoer squatted under the big willow tree opposite and watched the grand occasion here.
Several people carrying shovels and rakes smashed the door: "Come out! Give me your money!"
The main door is an old one, and the wood is quite old. Anyone outside could probably split it in half with a little more effort.
The Duan family obviously knew the situation of their own family very well. When they finally lost their patience and were about to knock on the door, the eldest daughter-in-law came belatedly to open it and said innocently: "Something happened to Dashan, and my parents-in-law fainted. I couldn't take care of them alone, so I freed up my hands to open the door."
Her weak appearance made the people at the door soften their tone: "Dashan's wife, I know your family is in trouble, but you can't let us work for nothing for so many days."
The eldest daughter-in-law said quickly: "How could it be? It's just that the family is in such a state. My parents-in-law have already spent a lot of money on medical treatment and medicine. Now there is only one room in this house that can be lived in."
The hot-tempered man behind immediately said, "What does that have to do with us? We're not asking you to give us your assets, so why are you haggling over wages?"
The eldest brother's wife's face froze, and she smiled and said, "It's not that we won't give it to you. As soon as Dashan comes back and earns money, we will immediately..."
"What do you mean? If Duan Dashan doesn't come back, we won't get paid. Is that what you mean?"
The eldest son's wife lowered her head and said nothing, acquiescing.
The faces of several people changed immediately: "That's not true. Just because something happened to your family, you can't pay us the money we owe you?"
The eldest daughter-in-law said again: "It's not that I won't give it to you, it's just that after some time..."
"Go to hell! I want it today. You can't build a house without money? Where did the money that Duan Dashan stole go?"
The eldest daughter-in-law: "How do you talk?"
Their family's affairs had long been spread in the village, and it was no secret. He was merciless in his words: "He dared to do it, and he is still afraid of what people say? If you don't pay him today, I can say something even more unpleasant."
The tools they were carrying were all farm tools. Fu Bao curled his lips and said to Duan Lao Er who was looking at the other side excitedly, "At this rate, we won't get our wages back today."
Duan Lao Er was originally in high spirits, but when he heard her words, he asked in confusion, "Why? She dares to argue with so many people?"
Fubao shook his head: "These people's attitudes are not strong enough, she is not afraid at all."
He hadn't noticed it at first, but after Fubao said that, Duan Laoer instantly noticed the actions of the eldest brother's wife. She lowered her head in silence and listened to the insults from the other side, pretending to be pitiful, but in fact she was leaning against the side of the gate, leisurely.
Duan Lao Er frowned: "You can't really not pay these people, right? They all have wives and children to support..."
Fu Bao was a little surprised at his naivety: "What do you think?"
Duan Laoer was instantly speechless, he had seen clearly what the eldest brother's family did. Not to mention not paying wages, he was not surprised at all even if they did something immoral for money.
Sure enough, after arguing for almost half an hour, the neighbors came out to persuade them: "We are all from the same village, why are you gathering so many people to block the door?"
Several people had originally come in high spirits to ask for their wages, but after hearing what they said, it seemed like they were adding insult to injury.
The eldest daughter-in-law even pretended to be about to cry, wiping her tears and said: "I am a woman and cannot make the decision. My father-in-law is lying in bed and can't get up. When there is someone in charge at home, I will definitely send the wages to you."
The incident became quite serious, and more and more people gathered around. Several people were embarrassed and at a disadvantage in terms of momentum.
Her eldest son was very tactless and joined the crowd to watch the fun. Seeing that the people who were asking for their wages were about to retreat, Fubao quickly patted the dust off his butt and ran over there.
When we got there, they were saying, "Then we'll come back after your father-in-law wakes up."
Fubao looked at Dazhuang with a smug look on his face and was speechless. He didn't understand what kind of parents could raise such a child.
The crowd was too crowded, and Fubao rushed over and pushed a few people in the crowd. The force was moderate, so no one fell, but it also caused a commotion.
"Who is it? You don't have eyes."
"Damn it, you stepped on my foot!"
……
The crowd of onlookers became noisy, and Fubao shouted at the right moment: "Da Zhuang! Da Zhuang! Are you okay?"
The sound was so loud that it drowned out the voices of most people and immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Especially the eldest daughter-in-law, who had always pretended to be pitiful, screamed when she heard this: "Da Zhuang! What's wrong with Da Zhuang? What's wrong with Da Zhuang? Let me see!" The woman who had been pretending to be weak pushed away several strong men in front of her and pushed them to stagger.
Da Zhuang had his mouth covered by Fubao from behind and he struggled in panic.
The woman's voice was too sharp, and there was a lot of commotion outside. The two elderly people who were "seriously ill" and unable to get out of bed flew out like arrows from a bow.
Old Mrs. Duan even started crying before she even left the house: "Da Zhuang? Da Zhuang, what's wrong? My good grandson!"
Mr. Duan was so anxious that he ran away.
Fubao quickly let him go, turned around and dived into the crowd, then took a few turns and returned to the tree.
Duan Lao Er was stunned: "What are you doing?"
Fu Bao raised his chin towards that side and said: "Let's continue to watch the show."
Da Zhuang stood in the crowd unharmed, and his family surrounded him and asked him questions.
Da Zhuang was puzzled and said, "Nothing happened to me. Someone just covered my mouth."
The eldest son's wife glared at everyone present and said, "Who covered my son's mouth? Who?" She looked as if she wanted to tear the person apart alive.
But the people around didn't care. What they cared about was the bedridden old man who was now standing in front of them in full swing, and could even yell at them, looking very healthy.
The people who were asking for wages finally regained their original momentum: "Okay, you have been lying to us! We wanted to give you more time for the sake of our village!"
The focus was brought back to the silver. This time, without this excuse, the Duan family was scolded with shovels pointed at their noses.
This time there was no one to plead for them; everyone just watched coldly.
Old Mrs. Duan threw a tantrum and said, "You are going to force an old woman like me to death! I won't live any longer! I am too old to be scolded by others!"
Those people didn't buy it at all, and ignored her unreasonable behavior. They just said to Mr. Duan: "Since you are here well, pay us our wages. Otherwise..."
Fu Bao shouted from behind: "The Duan family doesn't pay the villagers? Won't their reputation be ruined?"
The crowd was noisy, talking about all kinds of things, but no one paid attention to her.
Mr. Duan didn't care about anything else in his life except two things: one was to continue the family line, and the other was face.
If he was embarrassed for such a small salary, it would be the end of him. In front of so many people, he reluctantly paid the salary.
