Farming with kids: My deceased husband returns and I spoil him rotten.

Shang Qing gestured for him to sit down, and then said, "To be honest, this is also my fault. I accepted orders blindly in order to make money, and completely forgot that it also takes a certain amount of time for my brother to make this. After all, this process is not so simple."

"Since you think this plan is feasible, then I'm going to proceed accordingly."

Gu Yu, who had been silent all along, suddenly interjected: "In the end, we still have to rely on you, brother. After all, you've been in this industry for so many years. You must have a way of seeing which villagers are suitable and which are not, right? Since it's a money-making opportunity, everyone will definitely be eager to sign up."

Shang Qing discovered that Gu Yu had also voiced all her concerns.

The carpenter nodded thoughtfully: "Shang Qing, you can leave this to Nie Niang. Although she has never done carpentry before, she knows some basic common sense."

Nie Niang agreed: "There will definitely be a lot of people signing up, so I'll be the one to review them. I'll have them do some simple woodwork, and keep the ones they can do well. That way, once they've finished the initial processing, we can proceed with the next step, which will shorten the production time considerably, and you'll be able to deliver on time."

In this matter, Shang Qing was truly grateful to the carpenter's family.

"Then I'll trouble you, Nie Niang. I'll spread the word first thing tomorrow morning."

Shang Qing personally poured a glass of wine for each of them, and then the group raised their glasses together and drank heartily, showing their determination to do this well.

The next morning, as soon as the news spread, many villagers flocked to the carpenter's house.

Shang Qing entrusted the matter entirely to Nie Niang, as she had other things to attend to.

"Niang Nie, I heard them say this morning that the daily wages are quite good, is that true?"

"I didn't expect Shang Qing to be so generous!"

"This job must be quite difficult, right?"

"Nie Nie Niang, I want to register, I want to register..."

Nie Niang calmed everyone down and then had them line up one by one. "Don't rush, everyone. First, register your names. This afternoon, we'll arrange for you to do some woodworking to see if you pass the review. Once you pass, you can start working!"

"Also, the wages Shang Qing paid are all genuine. Once the project is completed, we will definitely settle the accounts with everyone. Please rest assured about that!"

Hearing what Nie Niang said, the villagers started to line up.

Nie Niang was so busy that she didn't have time to look at the people registering; she was just focused on writing down names on paper.

"Jiang Yingyue".

Nie Niang paused in her writing, looked up and saw the person who had come, then put down her pen.

Seeing this, Gu Wangshi, who was standing next to Jiang Yingyue, couldn't help but ask, "Nie Niang, what are you doing? Hurry up and register me!"

It was still in a commanding tone.

Nie Niang remained motionless: "I advise you to go back."

Madam Gu had a long face, and anyone who didn't know better would think someone owed her money. Even her tone of voice was full of disdain: "Nie Nie, why should I go back? Isn't this something anyone can participate in?"

Are you sure you're not here to be funny?

Nie Niang's words completely enraged Madam Gu. Just as she was about to make a move, Jiang Yingyue grabbed her arm and said in a gentle voice, "Nie Niang, my mother-in-law came with me, but she also wants to try. You can all participate, right? If you eliminate my mother-in-law now, it won't sound good if word gets out, will it?"

Nie Niang initially thought Jiang Yingyue was there to cause trouble, which was why she hadn't agreed. But now that she saw it, Jiang Yingyue was right; she should treat everyone equally. So she registered both of their names.

"Coming here at this time in the afternoon doesn't mean you can just sign up and start working. We also need to see your skills."

Upon hearing this, Madam Gu became somewhat displeased: "Hey, do you know who I am? Do you know who this woman next to me is? I am Shang Qing's mother-in-law, and this woman next to me is her sister-in-law. We are all family, so we should have special privileges!"

Nie Niang simply chuckled: "Anyway, I've already told you the time. Those who register today should come this afternoon. There are limited spots available, so don't miss out."

Gu Wangshi still wanted to cause trouble here, but the people queuing behind them were getting impatient and were urging them to leave quickly so as not to delay their registration.

So Gu Wangshi and Jiang Yingyue could only walk away dejectedly.

At noon, Shang Qing was having lunch at home with the children when, for some reason, Jiang Yingyue came to visit.

When Lao Zong saw it was her, he quickly tried to chase her out: "Go away, go away, we don't welcome you in our home!"

Jiang Yingyue shouted Shang Qing's name.

Shang Qing originally didn't want to pay attention to her, but the next second she heard Lao Zong's voice from inside the house.

"What are you doing? Why are you kneeling down?"

"Brother, I'm begging you, please let me see Shang Qing. I have something very important to tell her!"

She knelt down?

It's really rare!

Shang Qing came out and met Jiang Yingyue's gaze, which was now filled with pleading.

Although Shang Qing really didn't want to talk to this woman anymore, or even say another word to her, seeing her like this today, she thought about it and walked up to her anyway: "What do you want?"

Jiang Yingyue looked at Shang Qing pitifully and cried, "Shang Qing, I really wouldn't have come to you if it weren't for this crucial moment! I think you know how hard things have been for our family lately, your older brother..."

Shang Qing really didn't want to watch her pretend and say so much, so she immediately interrupted, "Just say what you have to say. I don't have time to argue with you here."

"Yes, yes, it's my fault. This... You must know about the time Liu the Scarface came to my house and caused trouble, right? We had a business relationship before, but we lost money and I owed him some money. But then he suddenly came to my house and caused trouble, smashing a lot of my things."

“He told me to pay back the money I owe him within a month, or he said he would take away all the valuables in my house! Your older brother doesn’t care about me anymore, saying I brought it on myself. I know that, but the money still has to be paid back!”

"Luckily, I heard about your job search this morning, so I came here to beg you to let me through. I hope you can let me earn a little money. What do you say?"

Jiang Yingyue is the kind of person who will do anything to achieve her goals. Before, she cursed me for the sake of her own face, but now she's begging me for money. She really is a person who can bend and stretch.
