Farmhouse life after traveling back to ancient times

But this does not pose a problem for Du Wenxiu.

She took out A'luo's old clothes and changed into them with Lu Er Niang. A few strands of her hair hung down, half covering her face.

Lu Er Niang pressed some acupuncture points to stop the bleeding, slung a small bag over her shoulder, and followed Du Wenxiu as if nothing had happened, then got into the car with A Luo.

Du Wenxiu also ordered loudly: "Qiaohua, send Auntie to the farm and come back after she stays there for two days. We are busy at home and cannot leave her alone."

Lu Erniang responded crisply, and Du Wenxiu said goodbye to A Luo again and thanked An Feng. The two sides exchanged a few words, and the carriage gradually left the gate of the house.

Only then did Du Wenxiu turn around and go back.

She didn't know how effective her and the others' pretentious actions in front of the door would be. She could only do her best and leave the rest to fate.

When I got back, Yuanxi was already preparing breakfast.

Liu Qiaohua asked for leave from A'Luo just yesterday, saying that her child was sick and she needed to rest for two days. And today, the leave came in handy.

Yuanxi followed A Luo in cooking for some time and became familiar with the kitchen affairs.

A'Luo also liked her clean and efficient way of doing things, and had gradually handed over the cooking tasks to her, so he felt at ease when he went back to the countryside this time.

Du Wenxiu took a look at her, told her to prepare breakfast and save some for him, then went back to sleep.

Although Du Wenchan and I are half-sisters, I was still not used to it and did not sleep well that night.

But just as he lay down, someone came to call him, saying that there was something going on at Wenyuefang and asked the two ladies of the Du family to come over to talk.

Du Wenxiu had no choice but to get up despite being very sleepy. After washing and changing her clothes, she came out just in time to see Du Wenchan eating a pancake.

Seeing her coming, he quickly stuffed one into her hand and said, "Sister, it sounds like things are a bit complicated. Why don't we eat while walking and go over there earlier?"

Du Wenchan was now more concerned about the affairs of Wenyuefang than her, so Du Wenxiu had no choice but to agree with her. The two of them quickly walked out of the door and headed towards Wenyuefang.

When I got closer, I saw a group of women gathered at the door.

"What are you all doing here so early in the morning?" Du Wenchan shouted.

The women surrounding them turned around and Du Wenchan realized that these were the workers from Wenyuefang.

"Madam Du Er, Madam Du, come and take a look. These people are blocking the door of our workshop and won't let us in."

There was an honest person who was squeezed outside, looking at the two of them with a sad face and said.

As for those who are usually smart and talkative, they have already squeezed to the front and started arguing with others.

The Du sisters went through the passage made by the women and stood in the crowd and listened for a long time before they understood.

It turned out that these were the workers who were laid off from Wu's Pickle Shop. Wu Ziwei had previously deceived them by saying that her family had signed a contract with Wenyuefang and that Wu's Pickle Shop had long been part of Wenyuefang, and she was just asked to manage it on their behalf.

Now that Wu Ziwei had gone to Minister Liu's house, she began to coax everyone by saying that it was the off-season and that everyone should take turns to rest and only receive half of the wages.

Many people were unwilling to do so, but seeing that there was nothing to do in the workshop, they had no choice but to stay at home. As long as the workshop could pay their wages on time, it was fine.

Who would have thought that when the day for paying wages comes, he keeps putting it off until tomorrow, and then tomorrow until the day after tomorrow. Go ask Wu Ziwei for it, but she is now living in a wealthy family and her house is not easily accessible.

They finally caught Wu Ziwei's sister-in-law, the long-faced woman who first came to Wenyuefang, and she also complained bitterly.

It was said that Wu Ziwei abandoned her family to live a comfortable life in the Minister's house, but she didn't even know how to keep some of the several hundred silver dollars given as a betrothal gift for her brother and sister-in-law.

She now wants to find Wu Ziwei to settle the wages for her work in the workshop, but she can't find anyone.

Then some people remembered that it was said before that Wu’s Pickle Shop had been merged into Wenyuefang, so the owner of Wenyuefang also has the obligation to pay them wages, right?

A group of people gathered together last night and discussed for half the night. Today, they set out together before dawn and sat at the gate of Wenyuefang waiting to be paid.

The Du sisters looked at each other, smiled helplessly, and sighed deeply.

How could there be such shameless people in the world? This empty-mouthed person just turned his head and planned to ask his family to pay for the money to clean up the mess with them.

Du Wenxiu patted the shoulder of the woman who was arguing fiercely in front of her. The woman turned around and saw that it was her sisters coming over, so she smiled and made way.

But I saw several country women blocking the door of the workshop, slapping their thighs, jumping up and down and wailing, using all kinds of martial arts, and swearing foul language.

Du Wenxiu couldn't help but frown.

When the women in the workshop saw her come out, they all stopped talking. In such a quiet morning, the voices of the women shouting in front of the door seemed even more harsh.

Seeing her opponent was speechless, the woman from Wu's Pickle Shop became even more proud:

"You are in the wrong, so how can we treat you well and leave us in such a remote place without doing anything about it?"

"You guys are living a life of luxury in this city, and you don't care that we have no food to eat at home, yet you still want to go to work as usual? Bah, dream on!"

The women in the workshop below were so angry that their faces turned red. They wished they could pull down those smug and arrogant women and step on them hard.

But Du Wenxiu didn't say anything and no one dared to step forward.

The women from Wu's Pickle Shop shouted for a while, but when they saw the women in the workshop below were so angry that their faces turned red, but they stopped talking. They had a feeling that something was wrong, so they stopped too.

Du Wenxiu then stepped forward and asked with a smile, "Are you workers from Wu's Pickle Shop?"

"What is Wu's Pickle Shop? Our Madam Wu said that it has already merged with Wenyuefang. Now we are also the ones who get paid by Wenyuefang."

The short woman with sunken cheeks among them shouted.

Her name was Jiang Si Niang, and she was a woman from the same village as Wu Ziwei. This time she came to Wenyuefang to cause trouble, and she was one of the leaders.

Du Wenxiu couldn't help but lower her head and cover her mouth with her hands to chuckle after hearing this, then raised her head and said slowly:

"Mrs. Wu told you this, and you believed it? Have you seen the contract we signed with Mrs. Wu? Your wages were paid by our Wenyuefang, but I didn't know about it."

"Bah, who the hell are you? How can you know everything?" Jiang Si Niang stepped forward, spat at her, and cursed at her while pointing at her.

Du Wenxiu smiled coldly and looked at Jiang Si Niang and others.

On this side, Wu Sanmei and the other women who had been scolding them for the whole morning looked at those people and gloated:

"You think you are getting paid by our Wenyuefang, but you don't even know our Madam Du. I don't know how many times you have received your wages and how many times you have met our boss."

After hearing what Wu Sanmei and the others said, the woman at the door couldn't help but stare at Du Wenxiu with wide eyes:

"Are you the owner of Wenyuefang?" Then he shook his head again and again, "No, no, when the owner came to sign the contract, I saw clearly that he didn't look like a young lady like you."
