The reborn peasant girl has space for farming

Chapter 1389 Give the child a way out

"Sister, it's really enviable that your children are so promising. I wonder when we will be so lucky."

"Don't even think about it. It would be great if your son can get you a wife."

He Shaoying's family set up the main banquet in the ancestral hall. There were about ten tables in total. The people sitting at the banquet were all relatives of He Shaoying. In addition to people from Baijia Village, there were also relatives from her natal family.

He Shaoying's natal family was very poor before. Even when they married their daughter, there were few people to marry her, and the dowry was even pitiful. She was married off with only a torn quilt, and the Bai family had to spend all their money. We all gave gifts, but we had no money to buy anything or hold a wedding banquet, so we gave everyone some wedding candies at the door and that was it.

This incident made He Shaoying laugh for a long time, saying that she was the cheapest daughter-in-law in the village. She often made trouble with her husband because of this incident.

But that man was very dull and didn't know how to coax her at all. Not to mention being impatient, he accused her mother-in-law of being greedy for the bride price. They took so much money and only got a tattered quilt as a dowry. Otherwise, he wouldn't have treated her with it. The wedding was so shabby.

He Shaoying could not talk about her husband, and her marriage was not satisfactory. Even her family members often held her back. When her husband just passed away, they wanted He Shaoying to marry again, receive an extra betrothal gift, and then take care of the children. If you adopt someone who has no children, you can earn another share.

This matter was rejected by He Shaoying, which also made the relationship between her and her mother's family extremely bad, and she has not moved much for so many years.

At today's birthday party, He Shaoying invited her family members over. It was more like a demonstration, telling them that she was living a good life now, better than all of them.

"A widow has managed to live like this. The world is really unfair. Back then, her family couldn't even afford rice bran, and even half a bag of rice bran was taken away from our house."

"Isn't that right? Back then, the poor would go around in every house, stealing and robbing without giving anything, but now they pretend to be rich. Look at her red dress with phoenix patterns embroidered on it. I don't know. Yes, I thought the old widow had married again."

He Shaoying's relatives were not friendly to her. After Bai Meixi's father passed away, He Shaoying and her several young children had a difficult life. Each family borrowed money. They saw that He Shaoying lived in poverty. No one is willing to contact her, and they almost rush to see her every time.

Unexpectedly, she would have such a family background today, which inevitably made these people feel a little sour in their hearts, feeling that God was blind to allow this sarcastic woman to get rich.

However, the complaints in their hearts did not affect their appetite at all. Looking at the delicacies, chicken, duck and fish on the table, they kept holding the chopsticks in their hands for fear that they would miss a bite.

"Everyone, eat slowly. There are still a lot of dishes. We are full today. There are still candies and snacks in the house. Let the children go in and get them."

He Shaoying was extra generous today and even set aside a room to entertain the children in the village. There were candies, shrimp crackers, drinks, snacks and cream cakes in this room, all of which were only available in the city.

These children all pretend while eating, fearing that they will never have such a good opportunity again.

Although it is a flowing mat, there are so many tables that the whole village can sit down, and the eating time is mainly concentrated at noon.

After three drinks, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon, and in two hours, new dishes would be served.

Normally, everyone would use this free time to listen to the show and chat about home affairs.

But in today's scene, many people have another purpose, which is to find a good way out for their children.

"Meixi, I heard that you have been doing business in Puhai for so many years. Can you bring our child there? He can do anything. He can endure hardship." An aunt of Bai Meixi said to her The youngest son was pushed out. This child is 19 years old and has been working in the mine for three years. However, he is unlucky. The copper mine business is in a state of deterioration. Therefore, in the past three years, the child has only earned a total of I paid more than 200 yuan, which is less than 10 yuan a month on average.

Now the mine has not paid wages for two or three months. If this continues, he will starve to death. It is better to find a job in Puhai. In a few years, he can collect enough money to marry his wife.

Bai Meixi took a look at the child and found that his body was extremely strong, his complexion was dark, and his hands were rough. At first glance, he looked like someone who worked frequently.

It’s really not easy for a child of this age to do so many things for the family.

"Nowadays, the village is developing side businesses. What projects has your family done? If you don't want to go to the mines, it would be good to stay at home and develop side businesses."

In order to solve the economic difficulties in the village, Bai Meixi asked Luo Bing to confirm the status of each household's sideline business and follow up on it. If their family also participated in this project and was self-sufficient enough, there would be no need to go to Puhai. go.

"Our family participated. Mr. Luo bought us some piglets, and they are still raising them in the pen."

The boy’s mother quickly explained that it wasn’t that their family didn’t want to participate in the sideline business, but that the family’s labor force was really limited. Just cultivating the original land was already very laborious, and there was no way to open large-scale breeding farms and orchards like other families.

After inquiring, Bai Meixi learned that the boy's family had many brothers and sisters, but most of them were disabled, making it difficult for them to live a life of their own and unable to participate in more work.

The boy's father was paralyzed five years ago and cannot do farm work at all. Also paralyzed is his second brother. Both of them need someone to take care of them day and night, so they have no time to farm in the mountains and can only work in the mountains. Do something on your own doorstep.

"Meixi, I have no choice. If this child stays here, he will die. If he can go to Urami to make more money, our family can have some hope."

The boy's mother said it very sincerely. They had previously thought about sending their child to work in the city, but they had no money for travel and were afraid of being cheated.

But they believe in Bai Meixi. If the child follows her to Puhai, he will definitely be found.

"You haven't read many books. Even if you go to Puhai, you can only start from the hardest and most tiring job. Are you willing?"

Baimeixi's factory needs a lot of operators, and this child is old enough to learn some skills and get started quickly.

"I do, I do." The boy nodded repeatedly, fearing that he would miss this good opportunity. He was used to the days of suffering, but there was no money to be made from suffering here. At least he could get something in return if he went out, which was worthy of him. It's so hard to eat.

"I'm keeping this kid, and when we go back, I'll take him back too."

Bai Meixi immediately agreed to the matter. She felt that children who could endure hardship would not be too bad no matter where they went, or at least their life would be better than here.

Her words made the eyes of the people around suddenly light up, and they kept begging Bai Meixi to bring her children to Puhai to work. This situation changed the flavor of the birthday banquet, and it seemed like a large-scale recruitment. market.
