The younger sister-in-law falsely accused the sickly uncle and ran away with the baby

Yu Ruyue sighed, "Sure enough, people with a heart see everything as dirty!"

"I gave her this money because she deserved it. When I had nothing, she gave me half a white flour bun that she couldn't bear to eat. She took me to the mountains to pick wild vegetables and helped me pick and wash hawthorns. When I didn't make a penny and everyone was ready to laugh at me, she didn't ask for anything in return and kept helping me silently!"

"Even, someone offered Jiaojiao hundreds of taels of silver to work for them, but she refused! She didn't betray me!"

"She protected the stall that even my own brother couldn't protect!"

"Why can't I give her the wages? Why can't I buy her things?"

These words really shocked everyone present!

Oh my god! ?

A woman, Boss Shen?

is this real?

Hundreds of taels of silver to go to Shen Jiaojiao? Why did she do that? What could she do?

This matter was really too unbelievable. Not only did Shen Chengye not believe it, even the village chief Shen and his wife were a little skeptical. Is there really a sucker who is willing to pay a hundred taels of silver to find his daughter to work?

Yu Ruyue took in everyone's expressions and sneered, "Believe it or not."

"Village Chief! Now that we have settled our family affairs, let's take care of the ditch digging issue."

The people around were still digesting the one hundred coins in wages and the two taels of silver jade earrings, but Yu Ruyue's words the next second shocked everyone again.

"None of my family's able-bodied laborers can go, but I'm willing to pay!"

"Is there anyone willing to contribute money? You can stay and discuss it. If you are not willing to contribute money or people, don't complain if you don't get water."

"how!?"

Pay money! ?

They gathered here just to make money and see if there could be any compromise. Why are they asked to pay?

But there were also those whose family conditions were good, or whose families had no ability to work, and they all stepped forward.

"I'm willing to pay, but it's too much for me to bear."

The village chief also said that this was a good idea.

So everyone who was willing to pay was retained.

Yu Ruyue looked at the woman who stayed behind and got straight to the point. "Village Chief! Take a pen and paper and write down all the missing people in these families. Count how many people are missing from their families, and then calculate five cents per person per day. This shouldn't be much compared to what you men earn outside."

Even if it's 20 cents a day, there are still 15 cents left. Although it's a bit painful, as long as I can water the fields and keep them, these are nothing.

So they all nodded.

The village chief also set an example, "As the village chief, I am willing to pay ten cents every day as a punishment for my leading role in breaking the rules."

Yu Ruyue nodded, and everyone present signed. She then asked someone to notify the families who were building the house for her.

When those people heard about this good deal, they hurried over to sign. After all, they only had to pay five cents here, but they could earn 30 cents from Yu Ruyue.

Then the village chief gathered everyone here again and announced what he had discussed with Yu Ruyue.

"After discussion, everyone who can't return to dig the ditch will pay five cents per day. As the village chief, I will pay ten cents on behalf of my son."

"As for those who have worked hard to dig ditches, each person will be given a subsidy of two cents per day."

At this time, a few more people stood up in the crowd and said they were willing to pay the five cents and then go to the town to work.

Village chief Shen wrote down the names of the people and agreed to let them leave.

The majority of the people are left without jobs. Although they feel a little aggrieved, they have no work to do even if they go out. They might as well dig ditches at home to save the fields and make money. However, there are so many people left, and only a small number of them go out. How can they pay each person two cents?

As soon as this question was raised, Yu Ruyue stepped forward and said, "Fellow villagers, I just calculated that there are about 50 people who left, and about 300 people who stayed."

"Their combined money only covers one penny per person. As for the remaining penny, I will cover it!"

Everyone was very surprised, that was more than 300 coins a day!

To prevent these people from having any inappropriate thoughts, Village Chief Shen quickly coughed twice and said, "Put away all those little thoughts of yours. Don't think that just because you have money you can be taken advantage of. The ditches are dug for you. Don't always think that others can make more money outside. If you have the ability, you can leave too!"

Although the people in the village like to watch the fun, generally speaking, most of them are kind-hearted, so no one said anything. The problem of digging the ditch was solved, and the houses were built in an orderly manner.

Yu Ruyue also spread the word that she would collect snails and fish.

Immediately, all the women in the family started to take action.

After all, it's all money! Any profit is a good thing.

It took about four days to complete the ditch.

The moment the water poured into the fields, everyone burst into cheers.

Contradictions also arise!

"This water is a gift from God, why shouldn't we use it?"

"Why? Because your family has no one!"

"Then Yu Laosi and the others didn't come to dig the ditch, so how could they do it?"

"They paid! Did you pay?"

"I am his third sister-in-law, why can't you let me do it? If he pays, it means our Yu family pays!"

Gao Yan sat on the ground crying and making a fuss.

Finally, the village chief stepped in and threatened her, and she finally calmed down.

Yu Ruyue was a little surprised when she heard this from Shen Jiaojiao. It turned out that not all the members of the Yu family were sent to jail. There were still two daughters-in-law and children left.

It seems that she didn't work hard enough!

Unfortunately, Gao Yan and the others learned their lesson and did not cause trouble in front of them.

Yu Ruyue went to see the house again and felt that it should be completed in another four or five days.

Because Qin Haowen was the one who handled all the external affairs, everyone in the village thought that the house was built with Qin Haowen's money, and even the unmarried girl directly targeted him.

This also saved Yu Ruyue a lot of trouble.

Let her concentrate on the next thing about the schoolbag.

The chubby He Ye spent most of the time these days staying in the house to pack his schoolbag. When he came out, he looked a little paler.

Lotus's body is almost grown. She is very good at embroidery. She also embroidered orchids, bamboo and other patterns on the schoolbag! It looks even more beautiful.

She took it, put some heavy objects in it, and carried it on her back. She could clearly feel that the shoulder strap was very well made. It was filled with cotton and was made relatively wide, so her shoulders did not feel any discomfort.

As for the back, it fits very well and does not feel uncomfortable. As for the shoulder strap adjustment, although it is not as convenient as modern backpacks, it is still quite novel.

Lotus and Lotus Leaf looked at Yu Ruyue with sparkling eyes, as if waiting for praise.

Yu Ruyue smiled and patted the two on the shoulders. "You did a great job. I will definitely reward you when I make some money this time."

Lotus shook her head shyly.

He Ye patted her round belly and said, "Miss! I don't want any other rewards. I just hope I can have an extra small bowl of braised meat tonight."

Yu Ruyue was amused by her greedy appearance. A 13-year-old child is at the age when she can eat a lot, but she couldn't help but teasing, "Who said that she ate very little in the first place?"

He Ye blushed a little embarrassedly.

Hehua was a little older and more mature. She was originally worried that Heye's words would offend Yu Ruyue, but when she looked up at those smiling eyes, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Yu Ruyue naturally noticed something was wrong with Hehua, and looked at the wound on her face with pity.

"You must apply the medicine I gave you on time. It's summertime, and it would be bad if the wound festered."

Hehua raised her hand to touch the wound on her face. A hint of loss flashed in her eyes, but it quickly disappeared.

"Don't worry, miss! I won't joke with my life."

Yu Ruyue told the two to continue preparing the schoolbags, and then returned to the kitchen to get 20 seaweed rice rolls, 20 sandwiches, six pounds of duck products, three pounds of sausages, and five pounds of spicy snails.

Just as she was about to leave, she saw the meat sauce her father had made yesterday. She filled two large jars with it and then divided it into three portions, putting one in her schoolbag and the other two in her backpack.
