Interstellar boss dressed as a peasant girl and became rich

Chapter 114 Finalizes the construction of the road from the county town to the dock

"As for what happened next, I didn't expect that hero Cheng Yaojin would come out to save the beauty halfway."

After hearing this, Meng Qi felt that this girl could do such a thing even if she came to her aunt's house.

When I go to the home of a well-off and unfamiliar family, I don't know how much trouble I will cause.

After all, Gu Yu is her cousin, so she can't overdo certain things because of the kinship. People who don't know her well don't have so many concerns.

When you meet someone who is cruel, they will only mess with you, and they can also put a lot of trouble on your family members.

It's just that she is not familiar with the Yang family and doesn't understand their personalities, so she can only comfort her with a few words from Gu Yu's perspective.

Then thinking of Gu Yu's last words, he burst out laughing and clinked glasses with Gu Yu and said, "You are unlucky enough. It doesn't matter if something like this happened to you at home, but you can still meet such an unreasonable person on the street."

Gu Yu: "..."

well! She is helpless when she encounters someone who is crazy!

Sheng Wulian raised a glass in reply to Meng Qi, which made Meng Qi laugh.

The two talked about the follow-up to this matter, and Meng Qi talked about the news he had received and his thoughts, "Sister, did you know that a big factory was built in Fucheng?"

"I've heard it once or twice, maybe there's some new news in Fucheng."

"Yes! This time there is big new news."

"Oh! What's the big news? I see how nervous you are."

What the Chamber of Commerce is doing now is beneficial to the people, but it will have a certain impact on rural people like them who have assets in their hands.

After all, it only cost 40 or 50 taels to apply for a job in the past. Now, the Chamber of Commerce has come out and suddenly raised the labor price. It cost at least 70 or 80 taels to apply for a job. It is not a loss.

Of course, you won't lose money. If you charge a high salary, the price when selling things will naturally be high.

Meng Qi was worried that there was something else going on, so he whispered in Gu Yu's ear: "Sister, I heard that the Chamber of Commerce needs to recruit a large number of workers to build a factory, and many people rush to Fucheng to make a living."

"There are more people going to Fucheng. Small counties like ours have a small population, so development slows down once they come and go."

"My sister is thinking about it. There is a dock in the county town, which makes things easier for us, but the road is difficult. My sister wants to build a road from the county town to the dock, so that it will be more convenient for pedestrians, and we can transport goods faster."

It’s not that there is no road from the county seat to the pier, it’s just that it’s a dirt road with potholes everywhere and it’s difficult to walk.

Every time Gu Yu goes out, it's okay when it's sunny, but when it rains, he goes out for a walk and comes back completely dirty.

Gu Yu built a resort by himself. If the pier develops well in the future, more people will stay there.

Even if it is not for the people, but for the sake of making more money, building roads is inevitable. "Sister Qi, when building roads, should she repair the original old road or open up a new one?"

Meng Qi: "..."

If possible, she would of course want to build a road that only belongs to the Meng family, but it is not her family that has the final say in the county. Building her own road might be because she feels that her life is too easy and her life is too long.

He took a sip of tea and said, "Sister, I understand that my sister's family is indeed considered wealthy in our county."

Gu Yu nodded in agreement, and Meng Qi sneered: "It's true in the county, but when you go to a big place, the meager birth on my sister's hand is not enough."

When she was a child, she had seen very little of the world and did not understand that there were people outside the world and that there was a world outside the world. Only if you still think like this after you become sensible, will you get to know Song Yun and others who have nothing to do.

Only when my father took over the family business and traveled to more and more places did I realize how ignorant I was when I was young.

Fortunately, her husband does not dislike her and while living a good life with her, the two of them work together to take care of the family property. Taking into account their three children and their elderly parents, they said, "My sister is thinking of building the old road and leaving some money on hand for your nephews and nieces."

Meng Yuanwai was about the same age as Gu Wu. Gu Yu had met Meng Qi's three children. The eldest was five years old and had entered a private school last year.

The second child is three years old and will be old enough to study in a year or two. Although the third child is only one year old, it is difficult to raise a child, so he has to keep money in case he has minor problems such as headaches and fever.

There are seniors above and young below, not to mention that Meng Qi wants to keep some assets just in case, but his own family also has a sum of money ready for emergencies at all times.

Taking into account the similar backgrounds of the two, he said: "My sister still has some money left. If Sister Qi doesn't mind, I will build the road with her sister."

Meng Qi knew that Gu Yu had made a lot of money a year ago, if it hadn't been for Gu Yu's generous sale of land to her.

Maybe her family's assets are not as much as Gu Yu's. After hearing her words, the two of them looked at each other and finalized an agreement to build a road together between the Meng and Gu families.

It was almost noon when the two of them chatted, and they separated after lunch.

After Gu Yu had eaten and drank enough, he went for a walk around the mountain to confirm that everything was going according to his plan.

I returned home with peace of mind and saw a group of children, some carrying baskets on their backs and some carrying bamboo baskets with wild vegetables in their hands, coming to the house to sell.

Qiuyue moved the cradle given by her uncle to the yard. Sanbao was lying in it while she was weighing wild vegetables and counting money.

"Thirty catties of bracken, one penny per catty, thirty pence in total."

"Eighteen pounds of bracken, eighteen pieces of paper."

Gu Yu walked into the yard and looked at his three little cubs, then walked over to help pour the weighed wild vegetables into the wooden basin.

She was thinking about the affairs at home and thinking about Qiushi Qiuyue following her to take care of her three children.

Qiu Ming and Qiu Cai looked after several shops in the county town. Qiuxia was at the dock handling affairs on the mountain and the dock.

For other things, Qiu Ming and the others are at ease with her. If the two elders at home go out, one of them, Qiu Shi or Qiu Yue, must go with her, so she can rest assured.

As a result, she and one of them were the only ones raising three children at home.

She herself sometimes has things to deal with, so it's not a big problem to leave only one person to take care of the children. She would be too busy like today.

I decided to ask Guan Xianzai to arrange for a few people to come over in the evening to avoid shortage of manpower.

After weighing the wild vegetables brought by the children, around five o'clock in the afternoon, Gu Taozi and Gu Lanhua brought their children to carry the wild vegetables they dug.

Gu Yu looked at a pile of wild vegetables and said, "My parents are not at home. I plan to wash the wild vegetables, dry them and pickle them while they are fresh. I wonder if Sister Taozi and Sister Lanhua are interested in coming to work here."

He also mentioned the wages: "After the spring, the wages outside have risen to eighty cents a day. If you are willing to come, I will give you this price."

Gu Taozi and Gu Lanhua did not expect such a good thing. Gu Taozi said: "I have a lot of people in my family. If I have more work in the field, it won't be too much for me. If I don't have it, it won't be too much. I can do it."

Gu Lanhua also followed closely and expressed that she could come. She also pulled the young woman standing next to her and said, "Xiaoyu! How many people do you want? If you want more people, my eldest daughter-in-law can also come. "

For them, a hard day's work on the farm may not necessarily earn them eighty cents. They can earn that much by helping Gu Yu wash and pickle wild vegetables in a day.

If Gu Yu needs a lot of people, it would be better to have his own family come.

Gu Yu also knew the woman next to Gu Lanhua. She was the new daughter-in-law that Gu Lan's eldest son had just married this year.

He glanced at the wild vegetables and said: "Today is the first day of harvesting wild vegetables. Five people will come to help tomorrow. If you need more later, I will tell you."
