Chapter 108 Shifting of Conflict
Da Ya made up her mind to marry Xu Jian, so she ran to the construction site and threw herself into Xu Jian's arms.
Zhao Da had just witnessed Xu Jian's attitude towards Daya and knew that his master did not like the girl.
Seeing that Xu Jian hadn't noticed Daya rushing towards them, Zhao Da quickly shouted, "Brother Xu, get out of the way!"
Xu Jian instinctively dodged to the side, and Da Ya missed her target and fell to the ground.
Xu Jian was furious when he saw who it was.
Doesn’t this person understand human language?
However, since she was just a young girl, he couldn't say anything and simply pretended not to see her, then went to do other work elsewhere.
Daya got up from the ground and followed Xu Jian, crying:
"Brother Xu, please take me in, otherwise my mother will definitely sell me."
Xu Jian frowned and turned around: "Don't treat me like a fool. There are only men here. You're a young lady, so you should stay away. This is the last time I'm reminding you. Whether you listen or not is up to you."
After saying that, he ignored Daya and went elsewhere.
Da Ya wanted to chase after him, but Zhao Da blocked her way.
"Young lady, unauthorized personnel are not allowed on the construction site. We will not be responsible if you get hurt."
At this moment, Aunt Chen also caught up. When she saw that Daya was being stopped by a strange man, she was furious.
Useless things!
Xu Jian has nothing left, why would she marry him? It's shameful.
On the way to catch up with Daya, Aunt Chen Er also figured things out.
It's not so easy to let this whole mess go so easily.
We have to get Xu Qing to take her and her man into the workshop to work.
Aunt Chen ran up to Zhao Dazhi, yelling and shoving him, "Why are you blocking my girl's way? Get out of my way..."
Aunt Chen tried with all her might, but she couldn't move Zhao Dazhi.
Zhao Da stood motionless, calmly watching Aunt Chen.
Aunt Chen pushed again: "Make way for me...make way...make way!!!"
Zhao Da remained calm and composed: "There's construction going on inside, so you two can't go in. If you need anything, come back when we're done."
Unable to move Zhao Dazhi, Aunt Chen turned her anger to Daya, grabbing her ear and yelling:
"Shameless slut, of all people to fall for, you had to pick a penniless and incompetent old man like him. Now look what's happened, your reputation is ruined, let's see how you ever get married again."
Faced with Aunt Chen's scolding, Daya dared not retaliate, but silently refuted in her heart.
You were the one who made me do this, so why is it all my fault now...?
Aunt Chen kept cursing at the construction site, her voice getting louder and louder, and her hands were also busy. Every few curses she would pinch and hit Daya.
Xu Jian eventually softened; he couldn't bear to see a young girl being beaten and scolded in public like that.
She walked out with a cold face: "Fine, what exactly do you want?"
When Aunt Chen saw the person come out, she felt a surge of pride:
"Da Ya's reputation was ultimately ruined because of you. Since you don't want to take responsibility, you have to give us some compensation."
Xu Jian took out two taels of silver and reluctantly handed it to Aunt Chen:
"Da Ya brought me mung bean soup for several days, but I never drank it once, let alone took advantage of her in any way."
The guys on the construction site can all testify that saying I ruined Da Ya's reputation is utter nonsense.
I don't want to argue with you anymore. Take these two taels of silver, and don't ever show your face in front of me again.
Xu Jian thought he could avoid disaster by spending money, but Aunt Chen didn't care about the two taels of silver at all.
She heard it clearly: Aunt Zhao and Madam Sun earned 40 coins a day, which would amount to 1.2 taels of silver a month.
What does 2 taels of silver matter as long as she gets the job?
"Two taels of silver? You think you can give me a beggar? Xu Jian, your little sister earns so much silver."
"We can afford to build this three-courtyard house with blue bricks and tiles, but you think you can get rid of us with just two taels of silver? No way!"
When Da Ya saw Xu Jian come out, a glimmer of hope rose in her heart.
She looked at Xu Jian hesitantly and said, "Brother Xu, I don't mind that you're poor, please marry me."
Xu Jian took back the silver; it was just as good that he didn't want it, he was actually reluctant to part with it.
This money was his younger sister's dividend, and he wanted to save it up for his future wife.
At this moment, Xu Qing and Madam Wen arrived late. Xu Qing smiled and said:
"What? Just now you were insisting that my brother had to marry Daya, but now that you know he's broke, you don't have to marry her anymore and you want compensation instead?"
Aunt Chen waved her hand, appearing magnanimous:
“Even my eldest daughter has said so, Xu Jian still refuses to marry her, what else can I do?”
You can't exactly hold a knife to his throat. Even if he did marry Daya, they would just be a miserable couple.
Just then, Qingya arrived. I'll say it again: with my eldest daughter in this state, no one will dare to marry her in the future.
You asked me and Daya to come work at your house, and we won't ask for much pay, just the same as Aunt Zhao.
Let's just call it even, shall we? Everyone's here anyway, so how many people do you want to invite? We can pick them all at once.
Upon hearing this, the onlookers immediately chimed in to support the story.
The reason was simple: they knew Xu Qing's family was building a workshop, and they wanted to work there and earn money.
"Qing'er, why don't we agree to Aunt Chen's request? Although what they did was not fair, Daya was indeed wronged."
"What's wrong with liking someone? It's just that it's unrequited love on her part, so let's agree to Aunt Chen's request."
"Since your family is so rich, it doesn't matter if you hire two more people."
"Your workshop is almost finished, and you'll need to hire people sooner or later. It doesn't matter who you hire, right?"
"This time, we absolutely cannot hire people from other villages like we did when building the house. Only people from our own village will truly work for you; outsiders will always remain outsiders."
Upon hearing this, Xu Jian realized that the conversation had veered back to his younger sister, and anger welled up within him.
"You're shameless! Are you trying to force me to curse women? Get out of here right now, or I'll not only curse women today, I'll hit them!"
Among the onlookers, some of the older members immediately began criticizing Xu Jian:
"How can you talk to your elders like that? No wonder you're still not able to find a wife at your age."
"Go ahead and try to do anything to us today, you disrespectful bastards."
Xu Qing gestured for Xu Jian not to panic and chuckled:
“My workshop does need to hire 6 more people. With so many of you, how am I supposed to choose?”
Aunt Chen's family will take up two spots, leaving four spots available.
Xu Qing surveyed the vast crowd and continued:
“If I pick someone, I'll offend the people who weren't chosen. I won't do that. Why don't you guys pick four people yourselves?”
I'm afraid some people might not know about the benefits, so let me explain again: 20 coins a day, including lunch, paid monthly.
Upon hearing this, the crowd erupted in excitement.
"What? My God, 20 coins a day? And meals included?"
"No wonder Aunt Chen is so desperate for this job. If her family has two openings, how much would she get per month?"
"This won't do. There are only 6 spots in total. Why should her family take 2? They were just blaming Xu Jian, and now they're blaming Xu Qing."
“We disagree. Each family should only have one spot. That’s fair.”
Aunt Chen immediately started arguing with her two aunts, and this time no one spoke up for her.
Everyone wants their own family to get the job, so who cares about Aunt Chen? They'd love for all six spots to go to their own family.
The scene was chaotic, and people even fought over the prize.
"Ah! My hair! You deserve to be cut into a thousand pieces! I'm an elder, I said my family has two, and that's it! How dare you hit me?"
"That's right! We are the oldest in the family, so these six should belong to our two families."
"Ouch! Stop hitting me! Stop hitting me! I don't want it anymore, okay?!"
"Ah! My waist, my legs, oh my god! Help!"
The screams came from Aunt Chen and the two elders who had just been spitting at Xu Jian.
