Rich Peasant Girl: The General's Wife Has Space

When Zhao Mingyuan saw Xiao Wan naturally help Li Chunhua out of the predicament without making anyone feel embarrassed, he felt even softer in his heart. It is hard not to like such a girl.

At Xiao Wan's signal, Old Man Xiao cleared his throat, stood up, and said to the crowd, "Everyone, my family's new house and workshop are all thanks to the help of the elders and villagers. The agreed wages are thirty cents a day. I will pay everyone immediately after dinner in front of the village head today."

As soon as the words came out, there was another uproar. Those who didn't come to help were naturally a little disappointed. Father Xiao saw this and said, "Don't feel bad if you don't have helpers. A while ago, everyone brought back the ground egg seedlings that my Wan'er cultivated. They are almost two crops ripe now. My family will start buying them the day after tomorrow."

After a pause, Father Xiao saw the villagers' excited expressions and felt deeply moved. He continued, "In the early stages, my family will buy potatoes for two cents per pound. We'll notify you if there are any changes. Everyone, please transport the potatoes to the workshop and give them to my third brother for inspection, registration, and payment. Fellow villagers, please don't send any that are not good."

Uncle Xiao was suddenly called and was a little hesitant, but he saw his second brother nodded to encourage him, obviously trusting him very much. He decided to take on the job and do it well so as not to let his second brother down.

Xiao Wan felt comforted when she saw her father explaining things with confidence. After all, her father was the head of the family.

Xiao Wan took advantage of the fact that many people came today and announced that the workshop also needed to recruit female workers.

As soon as the words fell, the whole banquet was in an uproar again. Female workers? I've never heard of a workshop only hiring women. What about men?

Someone raised a question, and Xiao Wan smiled and said, "My dear uncles, aunts, I only work four hours a day, two hours in the morning and two hours in the afternoon. This way I can take care of the family, and my brothers and uncles can stay at home to farm or plant eggs."

"As for wages, it's 20 cents a day for now. We're only hiring 10 people for now. If there are other jobs later, we'll give priority to people from our village. We only want clean, honest, and hardworking people, and we'll give priority to those from less financially fortunate families."

Then he looked at Aunt Xiao and continued, "Those who sign up should go to my Aunt Xiao to register. She is responsible for registration and recording working hours. If you take leave, you will not be paid."

As soon as the words fell, Aunt Xiao and Uncle Xiao looked at Xiao Wan in surprise. Xiao Wan smiled and nodded at Aunt Xiao, and all the women in the village who came to eat came over.

She heard from her mother that her third aunt's father was an old scholar who was down and out, and that her third aunt had learned a few words from her father, so she considered asking her third aunt to help, and of course she would be paid for it.

Aunt Xiao's eyes were moist and a little excited. She looked at Xiao Wan gratefully and nodded, then went on to deal with the village woman.

After the meal, Xiao Wan distributed the leftovers to everyone. After all, she couldn’t finish it at home and didn’t like to eat leftovers.

Li Chunhua also left with the food that Xiao Wan had given her. Xiao Wan also packed five steamed buns for her to take away. Li Chunhua seemed to want to say something before leaving, but she left without saying anything.

Uncle Xiao was also at the table, feeling somewhat unhappy. He wondered how he and his brothers had drifted apart.

Seeing this, Xiao Wan didn't say anything. After all, Wang was there, and her uncle was Wang's husband after all. If she used her uncle's words, who knows how much trouble it would cause. She could only wait and see.

When Wang heard the news about Xiao Laoer's family at home, her resentment became even stronger. Some plans needed to be implemented as soon as possible. Xiao Wan caused her husband to ignore her, but she led the villagers to make money and asked everyone in the village to curry favor with her. Why?

Xiao Wan didn't care about so many things. On the first night in her new home, Xiao Wan had her own independent room, and the earthen kang in the house was replaced by a bed that Xiao Wan had custom-made in town.

There were soft new quilts and new pillows. There was a dressing table in each of her and Xiao Yuer's rooms, and there was also a desk in Pingge'er's room.

Xiao Wan rolled around on the bed happily, then slipped into the space.

Bai Tuantuan was almost depressed. It was so boring staying in the space. It hoped that the space would be upgraded soon. It jumped around on the fruit tree planted by Xiao Wan in annoyance.

I forgot to mention that in order to upgrade as quickly as possible, Xiao Wan transplanted several orange trees and pomegranate trees into the space, and they have now grown into small trees.

Bai Tuantuan was jumping around on the branch and almost broke it. Xiao Wan happened to come in and saw it. She was so heartbroken that she quickly stopped Bai Tuantuan.

Bai Tuantuan jumped down in a sullen manner, staring at Xiao Wan with his big cute eyes, which made Xiao Wan feel distressed. She repeatedly promised that she would stay in the space and play with it tonight.

Bai Tuantuan then smiled and returned to her tsundere nature.
