The Pretty Eldest Daughter of a Scholar's Family

Chapter 258 Slaves
Liu Donglin let Su Yunduo into the room, looking at Su Yunduo silently with embarrassment on his face.

When Su Yunduo bought the land, he had already decided with him the number of day laborers in the village who would go to work every day. Liu Donglin guessed that Su Yunduo came here at this moment to set a date with him for the day laborers to start work.

Sure enough, Su Yunduo said: "Uncle Donglin, I came here to say hello to you. From tomorrow onwards, the village can arrange people to go to work at my house. The number of people should be limited to 25 to [-] people, because the ground has just thawed, and the work is a bit difficult." , need a lot of labor, I will increase my wages by five cents a day. The rest will remain unchanged as we have discussed before."

Su Yunduo didn't beat around the bush, let alone the matter of being blocked by the villagers before, but just straightforwardly explained the purpose of his trip.

"It will start tomorrow, so these people will be needed every day from now on? Why is there a wage increase?!" Liu Donglin was really surprised when he heard Su Yunduo's words.

He thought he would have to wait a few more days, but Su Yunduo's decision was really beyond his expectations.

"That's right, it will start tomorrow, and there will be at least [-] short-term workers every day. If the village can't solve it, I will ask my uncle to go outside to recruit." Su Yunduo replied with certainty.

"No problem, no problem, the work in our field hasn't started to get busy, let alone twenty, thirty!" Liu Donglin waved his hands again and again: "I think it's better not to raise the wages! The wages given by your family are already high enough !"

Recruit from outside?What a joke!
Because the Su family paid a lot of money, they worked outside the house, and they specially gave half an hour to eat and rest at noon. Even those folks who had been working outside came to him one after another to express their willingness to work for the Su family. day labor.

If Su Yunduo really gave the folks in the village an extra five cents a day, wouldn't he be breaking his head? !
In order to avoid disputes, the wage increase was avoided.

Su Yunduo pondered for a moment, and decided to listen to Liu Donglin's persuasion, and the wages would not increase for the time being.

Since short-term labor can be solved in the village, it is naturally the best.

Going outside to recruit short-term workers, in fact, is just Su Yunduo's talk.

The workers recruited from outside have to be responsible for a lunch, which is indeed a troublesome thing.

If it weren't for the help of Wei's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, even with Zisu's help, she and Ning's family would not be able to keep busy, not to mention she herself has other things to be busy with.

Besides, Ning Zhongping has to be bothered to recruit short-term workers from outside. Seeing that his little aunt Shen’s delivery date is approaching day by day, Su Yunduo naturally hopes that Ning Zhongping can spend more time with Shen, so after today, Su Yunduo decided to persuade Ning Zhongping not to come here for the time being. Ge Shancun stayed at home with Mrs. Shen.

Although Shen is only 27 or [-] years old, according to the concept of childbearing in her previous life, it is a good age for childbearing, but here she is considered an advanced maternal age.

Shen Shi is the first child again, but her body bones have always been weak, so not only her grandparents are very worried, but Shen Shi also has mild symptoms of maternal depression.

On the second day after returning from the Valley of Miraculous Doctors, Su Yunduo and the old doctor took the time to go to Heishui Town to ask for Shen's pulse. At that time, the two of them didn't say anything, but let everyone rest assured that Shen and the fetus are all well. .

But on the way back to Geshan Village, the two still confronted Ning Zhongping who sent them back to Geshan Village.

Shen's body is weak, and the possibility of dystocia is higher than that of ordinary women.

Ning Zhongping was very nervous when he heard that, he really wanted to have a child of his own, no matter male or female.

But if Shen Shi's life was the price, he would not be willing to do it anyway.

If there is still a choice now, he still hopes to grow old with Shen Shi.

"Uncle, don't be too nervous. What we're talking about now is only a possibility, and it doesn't mean that something will happen to my aunt." Su Yunduo glanced at the old doctor, and secretly lowered his eyes and said, "Isn't there still a genius doctor here?" !"

Su Yunduo paused for a while and said again: "My aunt's due date is at the end of the month. During this time, I try to stay with my aunt at home as much as possible, and talk to my aunt about happy things, so that my aunt can keep happy and don't let my aunt think wildly. Take a walk with my aunt, let my aunt move more, I believe my aunt will be fine!"

Although he knew that Su Yunduo's words were mostly just to comfort himself, Ning Zhongping still followed Su Yunduo's "doctor's order" meticulously, and whenever he had time, he would accompany Shen, or hold her hand for a walk, or say something interesting Things to make Shen happy.

In the past few days, Shen's mood has stabilized a lot, and her mood has obviously improved, her face is more rosy than before.

If Su Yunduo hadn't started working here today, Ning Zhongping would definitely have been by Shen's side.

Most of the part-time workers hired outside are Ning Zhongping's friends, or friends of friends. They are more forthright and work hard. To be honest, Su Yunduo is very satisfied.

These part-time workers are still necessary, if only the folks in the village are used, it will surely raise the hearts of some people, compared with these outside part-time workers, even if Liu Donglin is not watching, he must not be able to play tricks and hide.

Su Yunduo talked with Liu Donglin about the short-term workers, and was about to leave when he heard Liu Donglin ask about the long-term workers: "Today, someone in the village asked about the long-term workers. Your family has already hired people, will you still need long-term workers?"

Su Yunduo rubbed her forehead, and pursed her lips with a self-deprecating smile. She forgot about it after many things happened.

Ning Zhongping did bring more than a dozen servants to Geshan Village, including men, women and children, but they were not the servants bought by the Su family.

Those servants were specially selected and sent by Lu Jinkang from the Zhuangzi of the Duke's Mansion at the request of the old doctor, and all of them were good at farming.

Of course, it is not entirely true that these servants were all sent by Lu Jinkang to the old doctor.

At the beginning, the old doctor only asked Lu Jinkang for ten people, but Lu Jinkang sent eighteen at once. The eight extra people were obviously for the Su family, and the old doctor also gave the contracts of these eight people to Su Yunduo.

But Su Yunduo did not accept these people, even if the old doctor brought them to her, she just shook her head and refused, saying that her family could not accommodate these people.

Of course, Su Yunduo didn't care about anything, at least these people were good at what they were good at and what jobs they would do after they came to Geshan Village, but they were arranged by Su Yunduo after asking.

According to their specialties, these people either planted flowers in the valley, or planted vegetables in the Su family's vegetable field, and the other four were in charge, and finally all were handed over to Tie Tou for management, in short, let each of them give full play to their talents.

These servants were all carefully selected by Lu Jinkang, who knew more about raising seedlings than Su Yunduo, who was half-hearted. Su Yunduo simply selected two servants from among them to be responsible for breeding, but Tietou and Tongshan were given to them from the seedlings. liberated.

Originally, Su Yunduo planned to find two long-term workers in the village to be responsible for breeding, but now there is no need for it.

Compared with long-term workers, the servants sent by Lu Jinkang made Su Yunduo feel more at ease.

One is that they are knowledgeable, and the other is that their identity is held by the old doctor, so there is no need to worry about leaking secrets.
