The fragrance of medicine is alluring, the farm elder sister is cool and cool
Chapter 58: People with bad faith are not hired
"Hey, Xiao Wei."
"Uncle Si, you haven't come home yet."
"Ah, so we're going back now. Um...are you done with work?"
"I'll take it. I'll go again tomorrow morning."
"Go again tomorrow. Have you been paid? If they refuse to pay you, you have to go and ask for it."
"Yes, I have. The Wen family sister promised to pay 100 Wen on the same day."
Hearing this, Lao Si's expression changed again and again. He tried hard to maintain a smile, but in his heart he had already cursed Lao Wen three thousand times.
Originally, Wen Zhuo approached him first and said the salary was 100 Wen a day, including lunch. He thought it was fake, so he asked around about several other people who wanted to help out.
A few people got together to discuss it, and they all said it was impossible. How could a helper be paid so much? In addition, Wen Lao San spoke in a serious manner, saying that his second sister-in-law had no money at all, and they were afraid that she would work for nothing, so they changed their minds and refused.
100 coins a day, that's 3 taels of silver a month! This Wen Lao San has caused me a huge loss!
The man called Lao Si was filled with regret. Seeing Uncle Si's strange expression, Xiao Wei said nothing more and said goodbye with a smile. "Uncle Si, I'm going back first."
"Oh, okay, go back and rest early." Lao Si's mind was now full of the money he had lost. Seeing Xiao Wei was about to leave, he came to his senses and asked hurriedly, "Um... By the way, Xiao Wei, are the Wen family still recruiting workers?"
"Yes, Ruan Sanlang should still be helping them to find out. He went to another village to sell fish today, so he must have gone to other villages to find out."
"Well, I don't have much to do at home right now, so I'll go check it out tomorrow."
Little Wei had no idea that Uncle Si had already rejected the Wen family before, and the Wen family might not be willing to hire him again. They only knew that he had been a bricklayer since he was young, and if he went, he could learn more about the craft from him, so they welcomed him.
That night, Wen Qingcheng and Ye Xiuying brought some things to the Ruan family to express their gratitude to Ruan Sanlang. Before leaving, Aunt Ruan insisted on picking up a basket of fish for Wen Qingcheng.
The next morning, Master Guo and his apprentice had not arrived yet, but Lao Si and a few others who had previously refused to be the Wen family's helpers were already waiting at the gate of the Wen family's new house.
Working here earns more money, eats better, and is close to home. It is much better than working outside, and several people are very eager to work here.
When Wen Zhuo saw that they were the helpers he had hired before, he knew that they must have heard that they were paid in cash every day and had good food here, so they regretted coming here to work again.
"Lao Si, didn't you have something to do at your mother-in-law's house? I agreed to it before, so I only asked the four of you to go, and didn't ask anyone else. But on the afternoon before the start of work, you all told me that you didn't have time and wouldn't go. How come you are all free now?"
Wen Zhuo was somewhat disgusted with their behavior, which was too disreputable. He had already agreed with Ye Xiuying that someone had been found and there was no need to ask around, but in the end no one showed up, which made him feel a little embarrassed in front of Ye Xiuying.
"We also believed the rumors."
"Brother Zhuo, don't be angry. We brothers all earn money through our physical labor. We have a large family to feed, so we must be afraid of working for nothing."
"It's no use telling me, you have to ask the owner of the house." Wen Zhuo said.
When Ye Xiuying saw Wen Zhuo looking at her, she knew he was talking about her, so she put down the shovel in her hand, wiped her hands on her old clothes, and walked over here.
"Sister-in-law, these masters are all from our village. They agreed to come as helpers before, but they couldn't come because of something at home. Now they want to come and work again. Do you still want to recruit them?"
Wen Zhuo's words made the four of them feel guilty and ashamed, and they avoided Ye Xiuying's gaze awkwardly.
Ye Xiuying felt a little uncomfortable. They had promised to come before, but they didn't come when the construction was about to start. They also came secretly to see the lively life at their house, thinking that the house could not be built without them?
Now she has heard that the food is good and she can make money building houses here, so she comes here shamelessly. Don't think she knows nothing.
"Are you done with your family affairs? If you take leave every other day, how long will it take for us to build this house?"
"Aunt Ye, how could that be? Well, we came here when we had time. We are all from the same village. Even if we don't get paid, I will definitely try my best to help if I can."
Several people looked at Ye Xiuying expectantly, because they all knew that she was a soft-hearted person. Among the women in Yueya Village, she was the most honest and would definitely agree to something after hearing a few soft words.
At that time, I can get a hundred coins a day, have a good meal at noon, and take two bottles of wine. It's so comfortable. As for building a house... Oh, build it slowly. Anyway, the Wen family is full of women, who know how to build a house. The slower the better. 100 coins a day, then if he works here for three months, it will be enough for the family's expenses for half a year.
A few people were thinking about it in their minds, but unexpectedly, the next second, they were stunned.
Ye Xiuying glanced at them coldly and said, "We invited you a long time ago, but you just gave up and didn't come. We charge 100 wen a day for a meal. There are plenty of people who can come. We have already recruited people and will recruit more. But we will not recruit people who are dishonest."
Several people took a deep breath after hearing this. Ye Xiuying had money now and spoke more confidently. She was not the easy-to-control Ye Xiuying before. They exchanged glances with a somewhat embarrassed expression.
One of the older ones stood up and said, "Aunt Ye, you can't blame us for going back on our word. We all have families, and everyone wants to work and earn some money. Your brother-in-law said you don't have much money and won't pay us, and we're just afraid that we'll work for nothing."
Ye Xiuying understood in her heart that the people at the old house were really causing trouble for her and couldn't bear to see her and her mother living a good life.
Wen Zhuo couldn't stand it anymore. He thought he had some prestige in the village, but he didn't expect these people didn't even believe him, but believed the words of Wen Lao San, a gambler.
"I went to find you, but you still don't believe me? You insist on trusting Wen Lao San."
Another younger guy also stood up and said, "Brother Zhuo, when you told us you would pay us 100 wen a day, we were very excited, but after we discussed it together, we felt that 100 wen was impossible. The maximum you get for a house-building helper in the county town is 50 wen, and what Third Wen said, we won't go."
Wen Zhuo was a little angry: "Can I still cheat you?"
"Of course not, we just didn't think it through for the moment." Several people smiled apologetically to Wen Zhuo.
Wen Zhuo didn't want to say anything more. As for whether to use these people or not, Ye Xiuying had the final say, so he didn't go to speak for her.
Ye Xiuying was a little hesitant. These people did have experience in building houses in the village, and they were also from the village, so it would be fine to use them.
While hesitating, a clear voice sounded at the door. "We have enough people in our family, no need to recruit more." Wen Qingcheng and Chuyi walked in, each carrying a kettle.
Several people looked over in the direction of the voice and saw that it was Wen Qingcheng. They all knew that Wen Qingcheng was actually the head of this family. They originally wanted to fight for it again, but when they met Wen Qingcheng's cold eyes, they swallowed the words back when they were on the tip of their lips.
The few people left in disappointment, and coincidentally met Wen Lao San at the entrance of the village. They were furious. They could have enjoyed a good life and earned a few taels of silver, but because of a word from this coward, they lost so much!
