Aunt Bai didn't bother to be polite with Xia Yanxin and directly pushed the people behind her out: "Boss, these are my two daughters-in-law. They are very neat and tidy, and their sewing and mending skills are also pretty good."

Aunt Bai said to her two daughters-in-law, "Hurry up and show your hands to the master."

Aunt Bai and Aunt Qian have now followed Aunt Qian's wife in calling Xia Yanxin the boss, and they also feel that it is more formal to call him the boss when doing work.

Xia Yanxin took a look at their clothes and their hands, nodded and said to them, "Come in, it's cold outside."

Xia Yanxin returned to her room and took out a piece of cloth, needle and thread. These things were prepared in advance, so it was convenient to take them out now.

But when Xia Yanxin came to the lobby with the things, all she heard was laughter: "Wow, did something great happen to you? You're laughing so happily."

Aunt Bai laughed and said, "We were just praising you for being so great. Look, you are so smart. You deserve to earn this money."

Xia Yanxin laughed and said, "Aunt Bai, you are joking. I am just lucky, and Dong Ken from Baiweilou believes in me and is willing to help me."

Aunt Bai didn't believe what Xia Yanxin said. She knew that Xia Yanxin was not telling the truth, but she also knew that Xia Yanxin was doing this to protect herself, not her family. She understood this truth.

So Aunt Bai readily agreed: "That's because our girl Xin is lucky. She is a kind person, so she has this opportunity."

Xia Yanxin took out the cloth and needle and thread in her hand and said, "Aunt, stop talking. Here are two pieces of cloth. Let the two sisters-in-law sew a few stitches on the cloth. You can sew anything. I mainly look at the embroidery."

Aunt Bai's two daughters-in-law each took a piece of cloth and started sewing. Both of them chose the simplest pattern to sew, and Xia Yanxin waited patiently until they finished sewing before taking it over to look at it.

Seeing that the two had finished sewing, Mrs. Ye put down the towel she was knitting and took it to look at it: "Xin'er, the embroidery work of the two sisters-in-law is good. I think it can pass."

Xia Yanxin certainly thought that these two people were feasible, but she wanted to leave the matter to Ye. Now that Ye had said so, she was happy to go with the flow: "Mom, if you think it's feasible, then it's fine."

Aunt Bai and her two daughters-in-law were extremely happy when they heard that they were being kept. However, before they could laugh out loud, Xia Yanxin's voice came again: "Sisters-in-law, this is the contract, and we are paid by piecework, which means that I will give you 20 cents for each piece of clothing you make. The more you work, the more you get."

"But I also ask you to be loyal and not take anything out secretly. Once discovered, each of you will have to pay a compensation of 1,000 taels of silver. This is the document. If you agree, please sign your names or put your fingerprints on it."

Aunt Bai's two daughters-in-law pressed their thumbprints without thinking. They couldn't hesitate for such a lucrative job.

Not long after Liangen pressed his thumbprint, other wives and girls in the village also came to the door. Xia Yanxin arranged for them to take the exam in the lobby, and those who stayed finally pressed their thumbprints.

But there are always one or two nitpickers who stand up and object: "Xin girl, you are not being kind. What is this, a body contract?"

Those who signed their names looked at the person who had just spoken with disapproval: "You are wrong. We are here to work, not to sell our bodies. We don't want to steal anything, so we really don't care about this last point."

"That's right, we work on a piece-rate basis. Piece-rate means you get paid for every piece you do. The more you do, the more money you get."

"I see that you were eliminated, and you are unwilling to accept it, so you are trying to sow discord here." A young wife narrowed her eyes at the woman who was speaking and told her the truth directly.

The woman's face turned red when her true thoughts were spoken out. She said these words because she didn't want to be eliminated.

"I'm here. I never thought that I can't sew clothes but I can knit scarves. Haha, I can make money too. Now who dares to say that I just eat and don't work?" The speaker was a playful little girl whom Xia Yanxin knew. In fact, she was a good friend of the original body.

Xia Yanxin went forward and wanted to talk to the girl, but the girl spoke first: "Xia Yanxin, what's wrong with you? Why didn't you tell me about such a big thing? Although I'm not at home during this period, you at least know where my grandmother's house is. You can send someone to inform me, and I can come back to help you beat up that ungrateful wolf."

Xia Yanxin looked at the fierce little girl and smiled flatteringly: "Oh, I've been too busy these days. Look at what's happened in my family these days."

Xia Nini looked at Xia Yanxin who was smiling at her and rolled her eyes helplessly: "Next time you have something to tell me, you know what you will do in the future without me."

Xia Yanxin felt the girl's kindness, and she bowed cheerfully: "Then I will have to rely on you to take care of me in the future."

Xia Nini and Xia Yanxin were laughing and playing in the yard, which made others happy. At the same time, Xia Chengan, who had been reading, heard voices coming out of the room.

"Sister Xia, you're here!" Xia Cheng'an shouted happily when he saw it was Xia Nini.

Xia Nini turned around and saw that it was Xia Chengan. She was also very happy: "Oh, who was it? It turned out to be Xiao Anzi. I haven't seen him for a while. Xiao Anzi has grown a lot taller. Well, he has become much more handsome too!"

"Tsk tsk tsk, I wonder how many girls will be attracted by this look in the future."

Xia Nini's words made Xia Chengan's face turn red to his ears. He looked at Xia Nini with some reproach.

"Haha, look, Xia Chengan is shy again." Xia Nini became even happier when she saw Xia Chengan being shy.

"Little girl, your parents love you so much, why would they allow you to come to my house to work?" Xia Yan couldn't understand. Xia Nini's parents were very good to her. It could be said that she was the apple of everyone's eye. How could a little girl who had never suffered any hardship since childhood suddenly come to work?

Xia Nini said mysteriously, "I came here to work to make money. Next spring is my father's birthday, and I want to buy him a birthday present."

"I see. Then you should work hard in my house. I promise that you will be able to shock your father in the spring."
