We have separated, what does it have to do with me if my husband's family eats bran?
Chapter 82 Finalizing the Salary
Cheng Yue said patiently: "Sister-in-law Xiangxiu, we have discussed this matter, so don't refuse.
There are many things to do when raising chickens and ducks. In addition to feeding them and cleaning the coops, you also have to release the ducks. There are so many things to do. How can it not be worth twenty cents? "
It is not particularly tiring to take care of five hundred chickens and ducks, but it is a very troublesome job and it is not an easy one. Twenty cents a day is a reasonable salary.
When Zhao Xiangxiu saw Cheng Yue's firm tone and Chen An's smiling face, she knew that they had discussed this matter beforehand.
However, the thought of so much money is overwhelming, how can I accept it?
She murmured in a low voice, "It's still too much. Men who work as coolies only make 30 cents a day, and we women are almost catching up with men. Besides, Cuicui is still a child. 20 cents a day is too much..."
Cheng Yue heard Zhao Xiangxiu's subtext and said, "What's the difference between men and women? They all make a living based on their own abilities. Who says that only men can earn more than us women? Sometimes women are much better than men!
The same goes for Cuicui. What's wrong with being a child? These three girls in my family are more capable than I am. Doing good deeds is what matters. I think Cuicui is much better than some adults!
Just take it with confidence. We have calculated everything. I am not a sucker. Am I just throwing money at you for nothing?"
Zhao Xiangxiu has a pretty good personality, but she's still old-fashioned. It's not her fault, after all, women of this era feel inferior to men.
Not to mention this time, even in modern times, there are many such thoughts.
What kind of women should be like and what kind of men should be like? She hates to hear such talk the most.
It shouldn't be defined by gender.
Chen An nodded and said, "Yes, A Yue is better than me. I don't even know how to raise chickens and ducks."
Not to mention Zhao Xiangxiu and Cuicui, even Cheng Yue was amused. Chen An seriously admitted that he was not good enough, and his expression was very serious.
I didn't feel anything was wrong at all, and I even felt a little proud.
"Look at what Brother Chen An said. Everyone knows that you are one of the most capable people in our village. You love your wife and children very much. You shouldn't talk like that.
Come on, we've agreed to pay you guys so you don't have to get together and talk nonsense, there are so many twisted theories!"
Zhao Xiangxiu said helplessly that if she didn't agree, who knows what the couple would say next.
Cheng Yue smiled softly and continued, "We left early in the morning, so you may have to come earlier, and the working hours will not be fixed.
You guys have to take care of your own meals, and I’m afraid you won’t be able to rest every month.”
Raising chickens and ducks is a job of this nature. It is impossible to have fixed working hours or a few days off per month.
Zhao Xiangxiu waved her hands: "It's nothing, we all get up early every day, just leave the housework to those two guys, and we can still be free!
Eating is not a big deal, since it’s so close, we can just take turns going back to eat, and we can even bring some bread with us.”
She's already getting paid so much, so she doesn't care about working hours, whether she takes breaks or not, and even household matters. At least she has two kids to take care of.
From now on, she only has one thing in mind, which is to help Cheng Yue keep the chickens and ducks under control!
Only if you do good deeds can you get wages with peace of mind. Only with wages can you have money for your son’s wedding gift and your daughter’s dowry, and only then can you live a good life!
She is not stupid, is it possible that she doesn't even understand this?
This pie is about to hit her on the head. If she still can't catch it, the man buried in the earth will probably be so angry that he will lift the coffin lid.
Cheng Yue thought about it, and there was one thing left to say, so she said, "Sister-in-law Xiangxiu, you guys can dye the chickens and ducks yourselves tomorrow, and paint them all on the invisible places like the base of the wings."
Zhao Xiangxiu was stunned for a moment, then smiled knowingly, "Okay."
If this is exposed outside, won't everyone see it? If someone really steals chickens and ducks, they might pluck their feathers and kill them right away, wouldn't that be a problem?
But no one knows about this, so even if they stole the animals, they would not be willing to kill and eat them. They would take good care of the family, and then they would be able to find them.
"Aunt Cheng Yue, I think it's best to get two more dogs. We won't be there at night, and you'll be a little far away from there. If something happens, you'll be able to hear something."
Cuicui had just recovered from the shock of being paid twenty cents a day. When she heard this, she immediately gave some advice.
Cheng Yue's eyes lit up. Cuicui's words hit the nail on the head. She wanted to keep one, but she had never seen a dog in such a long time. She thought that no one knew about dogs.
"Cui Cui, do you know where there is a dog?"
"I don't know, but my second brother knows. She went to grandma's house yesterday and heard that a family in the village over there had given birth to a litter of puppies, but they said they couldn't afford to raise them, so no one wanted them and they had to throw them away."
At the end, Cuicui was still a little sad. Her second brother felt sorry for the puppy and wanted to bring it back yesterday, but there was not enough food at home for the people, so how could he feed the puppy?
If Aunt Cheng Yue could bring them back and raise them, it would be a blessing for those puppies, and they could also guard the house.
Zhao Xiangxiu followed up and said, "It's really pitiful that three were laid. If you want it, I'll ask Zhuzi to run it tomorrow. It's only been a day, so it won't be thrown away."
Cheng Yue nodded repeatedly, "Okay, then I'll have to trouble Zhuzi."
How could they not want a dog? Furry and adorable, they would be the most loyal family members if they were well-raised. With their current financial situation, raising three dogs was nothing.
Besides, there are three lives at stake. Now that she knows about it, she definitely can’t just stand by and watch.
Subconsciously, I always feel that since I have traveled through time, I should be more respectful of life.
Zhao Xiangxiu said, "What's the trouble? It's my duty. I'll let him go tomorrow morning!"
As they were talking, it got dark. Since there was nothing else to do for the time being, Zhao Xiangxiu and the others went home.
When the brothers Liu Shuanzi and Liu Zhuzi came back from the fields, they saw that their mother and sister were not at home. After asking around, they learned that they had gone to Aunt Cheng Yue's house. Only then did they feel at ease and started to cook coarse noodle and vegetable porridge.
Since the family split up, they no longer differentiate between men and women when doing the work. Whoever is free can do the cleaning. Mother and sister can go to the fields, and they can also go into the kitchen.
The two brothers waited for a long time before they saw the mother and daughter coming back with happy faces.
Liu Zhuzi had a feeling that something good was going to happen, so he took two or three steps forward and asked, "Mom, little sister, why are you so happy?"
Zhao Xiangxiu looked around, pushed him into the house, and whispered, "Let's talk inside."
Liu Shuanzi scratched his head and wondered, "Why are you still so mysterious?"
Cui Cui covered her mouth and smiled. She couldn’t wait to see the expressions of her two brothers. They were definitely more exciting than hers.
"What?!" After hearing what Zhao Xiangxiu said, Liu Shuanzi couldn't help but jump up, and the bench fell over with him.
"Mom, little sister, you are not lying, are you? Does Aunt Cheng Yue really pay so much?!"
Liu Zhuzi opened his mouth wide, his round face turned long in shock, and he felt his facial skin twitching uncontrollably.
