Traveling back to ancient times to make money and raise children is also free

Chapter 86 On the styles of ordinary people and old foxes

When we arrived at the village, some villagers had already started to return home from work in the fields.

Seeing me appear in the village, several familiar people greeted me: "Da Lang's wife, you are back. What are you planning to do this time? Are you going to the clan leader's house?"

The people are still the same, but their expressions are not the same as before. When I first brought Xiaobao and Xiuwen out, they saw me making some money and always grumbled when they saw me, thinking that my money seemed to come from shady sources.

And now, Xiu'er and the others are making more and more money by making clothes in the village. They know that this is because of me. The same face is now full of smiles when it sees me.

This is human nature. They bully you when you are poor, hate you when you are rich, fear you when you have money, and despise you when you are poor.

But when you are a cut above them, all these things no longer exist. Those who used to look down on you will now look up to you, and you hope you can help them.

I don't care, as long as you are strong enough, you can defeat all magic.

I smiled and nodded at them: "Busy, auntie, yes, I suggest preparing to go to the clan leader's house."

As we were talking, we had already arrived at the clan leader's house. Xiu'er opened the door and saw me, and quickly pulled me in: "Sister-in-law, you came here today, but it's not time to deliver the goods yet? What's the matter with you coming here now?"

"It's okay. Just take your time and ensure the quality. I'm not here to pick up the goods. I'm here to talk to the chieftain about something. Is the chieftain home?"

"Yes, yes, Dad, Dalang's wife is here to see you."

The clan leader came out from the main hall and said, "Da Lang's wife is here. Come in and sit down. Xiu'er, go make some tea."

I followed the clan leader into the main hall. Xiuer then brought in a bowl of tea, and I took a sip: "Clan leader, I came here this time for something I want to discuss with you. Look at our thatched house, it's not very convenient to live in, I want to renovate it."

"This is a good thing, but what do you want it to look like? When do you want to start construction?" The clan leader asked me after hesitating for a moment.

"Today and tomorrow are both good days for breaking ground, so I'm marking the ground today and preparing to start work tomorrow. I want to ask if there is anyone in the village who wants to do the work. I'll ask the villagers for the fruit first. If there is no one in the village, I'll call someone from outside."

Just then, Dazhu and Erzhu walked in: "Wife of the King, we all have time now, we can all do it! How many people do you need?"

Me: "There's no rush. The main thing is that people who do things need to be more down-to-earth. Brother Dazhu, do you have a suitable candidate? If so, I'll leave the job to you! 25 cents a day, not including food. You know I don't have time to come over to cook. So for meals, whether you find someone to cook for you or go home to eat, it's up to you to solve it. For the time being, please help me find 15 people, and go dig the foundation tomorrow."

Dazhu: "Okay, I'll go ask for you now. There are only two of us in our family, so we only need to find 13 people, and Granny Wang's son can be counted as one. The head of the village also has one, so we only need about ten people. I promise to start work for you tomorrow."

Me: "Okay, then you start work at 30: tomorrow morning, go to the thatched cottage where I used to live, and someone will tell you how to do it. Brother Dazhu, help me find someone, and your wages will be wen a day."

Dazhu: "How can I do that? Just give them the same salary as them. No need to pay more."

Me: "Brother Dazhu, it's confirmed. You've taken the trouble to help me, so I'll thank you. You must find someone who is reliable and dependable. Don't call those who are sneaky and cunning."

Dazhu: "Don't worry about that. I have a scale in my heart to tell who is lazy, who is hardworking, who is down-to-earth, and who is sneaky. I won't let you suffer any loss."

Me: "Okay, that's settled. I'll go to the village head again and talk to him."

The clan leader said: "Repairing the house is a big deal, so you should go and tell him. Maybe there will be other things in the future that require his help, so go ahead."

The labor matters are handled by the patriarch's Dazhu, and the village head will be responsible for the materials.

With so many materials coming in, someone has to count and sign for them. Brother He has to be in charge of the construction, so he definitely won't have time to do it by then. This is exactly what he is most suitable for.

Moreover, if Dazhu was in charge of the labor and the head of the village did nothing, the head of the village would inevitably feel unbalanced and cause unnecessary trouble.

When I arrived at the village chief's house, he was sitting in the main room smoking, not knowing what he was thinking about. I knocked on the door and said, "Uncle village chief, I have something I want to talk to you about. Are you free now? If you are, I want to talk to you."

The head of the village looked up and said, "Daughter-in-law of Dalang, you are back. What do you want to talk to me about? I am free now. You can do your work first and we can talk later. If there is anything, I will try my best to help as long as I can."

The head of the village thought of Xiu'er, the clan leader's daughter, who made clothes. She was now much better than any other man in the village.

He must have come to her now because he had something to do. It was good to have something to do. If there was something to do, there would be opportunities. If there were opportunities, there would be development. What did development mean? It meant a future and money to be made.

Look at Xiu'er, now she is almost one of the richest people in the village.

The aunt of the village head moved a stool with a smile: "Da Lang's wife, please sit down first. If you have any questions, you can find your uncle. It's the right thing to do." The aunt and the wife of the village head followed Xiu'er to make clothes, and their private money was increasing. They were also very happy to see me.

With a smile on his face, he moved a stool and brought a teapot to pour me a cup of tea: "Drink tea, Dalang's wife. Talking makes you thirsty. Make some tea to moisten your throat."

"Auntie, you are so polite, thank you, Auntie." People still need to make more money in their lives. When they are rich, their salary will increase. In the past, I couldn't even think about it. I was lucky enough not to get a cold eye from them.

The village head asked tentatively, "Daughter-in-law of Dalang, Xiuwen is studying in the city now, how is he doing?"

I smiled and replied, "Very good."

The head of the village said: "Yes, that child will be a promising wife of the king. You will be blessed in the future. It is a happy ending after all the hardships."

I nodded: "I appreciate your words, Uncle Lizheng. If he becomes successful in the future, he will definitely not forget the village."

I put down the teapot and was too lazy to practice Tai Chi with the head of the village. If I continued chatting about this and that, it would be dark soon.

"Uncle Lizheng, I came here this time because I have something to ask for your help. I want to renovate the house we used to live in and rebuild it. You see, I am a woman, busy and ignorant. When the materials are delivered, I would like to trouble you to help me count them. Of course, I won't let you work in vain, and I will calculate your salary at 30 wen a day. What do you think?"

The village head's eyes gleamed: "It's enough to help, how can I afford to pay a salary? We are all villagers, why should I pay a salary?"

"No, that won't work. It's just a small token of my appreciation. I'll have to rely on you in the future. Please accept it. Just consider it as a favor from me, Uncle Rizheng."

"Hahahaha, since you said so, then fine!"

An old fox is an old fox. He always likes to beat around the bush when speaking or doing things.

But finally the problem has been solved, and tomorrow we can officially start the construction. My big house is finally starting to take shape.
