suspected wife

Chapter 139

There are many people who come to ask for work.

Even though most of the family members have gone to the woods to dig wooden piles, there is still labor left.Now, just after the autumn harvest, it is time for the earth to rest.

People came to Qiao Mingjin's house every day, and they never came empty-handed.A few radishes, a basket of vegetables, a dozen eggs or some dried mountain delicacies.

One tael of silver a month!It's the Zhou family's workshop in Qingchuan City again, are you afraid of collapsing?

One month, I got a tael of silver steadily, and it was at the door of the house. When there was something at home, I yelled at the door of the house, and I could hear it in the workshop.

No one wants to miss this opportunity.

Even Yue Lao Er and Yue Lao Si, the two brothers of the Yue family, came to the door in person.

Sun and Yu also came several times, but Qiao Mingjin didn't agree.

It's not that Yue Lao Er and Yue Lao Si can't do their jobs well, on the contrary, these two people still work hard. Although they are a little cautious, they still know the general idea.

It's just that Qiao Mingjin doesn't want to entangle too much with the Yue family and the Wu family.

Ever since Yue Lao San Yue Zhongyao became a policeman in the city's yamen, the Wu family felt superior to others in the village, walking with his chest erect, and his eyes almost moved to the top of his head.

As for Qiao Mingjin looking for someone to dig wooden piles and asking for work, Wu Shi didn't take notice.

Who is her son?The catcher in the Yamen.That's the proud person in front of the magistrate's old parents. Can't he arrange an errand for the other two sons?

In fact, Wu Shi did pester Yue Zhongyao to find jobs for the two brothers.

It's just that they all work as buddies, and they leave their hometowns.You have to eat and drink in the city, and you have to spend a lot of money on accommodation.Mrs. Wu saw that it was not a good deal, and Mrs. Sun and Mrs. Yu also saw that the money obtained by their men would not fall into their hands, and they would not be able to get it back once a month.After working for a few days, I pulled him back.

And at home, there are not many acres of land, so you can't just sit around and wait for food?

As for everyone digging wooden piles in the mountains and forests, the Wu family wanted to earn money at first, but all the money earned by the family was in Wu's hands.Sun and Yu also have their own hearts.After the two sisters-in-law dragged their own man to refuse at the same time, Wu had no choice but to give up.

Later, watching the villagers dig for a few days, they actually got money, which was quite a lot.You can get one tael or more silver in just a few days.Wu's heart was moved again.

They sent their two sons and daughter-in-law up the mountain to dig wooden piles. Of course, they were won by Mrs. Sun's clever tongue.Naturally, some benefits were given to them.

Since they went up the mountain, they also let them dig three piles and got four or five taels of silver.

Now that they hear about recruiting, Sun and Yu will naturally settle accounts.Those who had worked so hard to dig wooden piles dug out one.The two of them can also share dozens of pennies.To be able to dig three or four in a month is the best.How much silver can there be together?

It is different to apply for a job in a workshop, one tael of silver a month.There is still a meal at noon, isn't it an easy job?

But no matter what they said, Qiao Mingjin didn't respond.

Later, Qiao Mingjin saw that there were too many people coming to the door, and they were all from the village, so it was really hard to dismiss.

After discussing with Zhou Yanqing and everyone else, it was decided to add two more male laborers.

Now the workshop has officially opened.Eight carpenters from the city were added, and everyone tried their best to make an unprecedented finished product.

Sleepless nights.I just wish that the sun would not set, and the night would be as bright as day.

Some chores were naturally done by Mrs. He and Mrs. Ma, but labor was required to carry the wooden piles from the mountains to the workshop, and to store the wooden piles after drying them in the warehouse.

Originally, there were father He and others, and she didn't worry about these things at first, but now the dozen or so people seem to be competing with each other, and no one agrees with the other.She tried her best to make a finished product as soon as possible, and she established their position in the workshop.

The eight craftsmen from the city naturally wanted to leave a deeper place in Zhou Yanqing's heart. No matter whether his Master Saturday took a fancy to them or sent them from the city to the countryside for some other reason, they had to do something. With the results, let Master Saturday see their value.

After seeing their own shortcomings, Father He and others rushed to catch up.They had come into contact with these things first, and Qiao Mingjin and Qiao Mingjin had started from scratch, so they naturally knew how this workshop came about.

Qiao Mingjin didn't invite them here to slap them in the face.If they can't make some achievements, they will be sorry for the salary and value given by Qiao Mingjin.

Every day, Father He reminded his son and two apprentices, so that they could not relax.

Qiao Mingjin was only happy when she learned about this.

Aggressive, not bad.To each his own, that's fine.As long as the mentality is correct, it is a good thing for her.

She would go around the workshop a few times a day, seeing that everyone was so serious that even eating felt like a waste of time, so she thought about adding two more male laborers to do chores for them.

After discussing with Zhou Yanqing, Qiao Mingjin soon invited two more people under the introduction of Sister Xiu and Yue Dalei.

Yue Dongzhi at the west end of a village. 19 years old.He looks lean and thin, but he has a lot of strength.

There are four brothers in his family, he is the youngest.The family was not well-off at all, and after the first few brothers got married and separated, the family lost even good land.There are only a few acres of wasteland left for him to live with his two old parents.

His first three elder brothers married their sister-in-laws, and they all only belonged to their own family in their hearts. Although they had asked him to dig wooden piles together these days, there were not many of them in his hands. A few pennies.

His sister-in-laws are all fierce, and it would be as difficult as heaven to grab money from them.

But without these few pennies, he and his elderly parents would share a few acres of wasteland, and the annual production of coarse grains would only be a few hundred catties.

Yue Dalei told Qiao Mingjin about his situation, and Qiao Mingjin agreed.

The other family moved here with a foreign surname, surnamed Shi, called Shi Gen. 20 years old.

His family is just the opposite of Yue Dongzhi's. The family is harmonious, and the three brothers have not separated. Pushing the old parents to the unmarried younger brother is such a spine-tingling thing.

But the family is still crowded together.The three brothers also have their own families, with sons and daughters, and Shi Gen also got a daughter last year.But her wife has been in poor health since she gave birth to her daughter, and the whole family went to the forest to dig wooden stakes, and his wife stayed at home to cook.His two brothers were considerate of him, so they let him stay at home to be busy with the field work, and take care of the little girl and wife at home.

This stone root was brought by Sister Xiu herself.When he came, he brought his wife and daughter who was under one year old.

Wan'er likes this little sister very much, Xu has never seen a child younger than her, so she is very happy to play with the child.Feed her soft pastries.

Qiao Mingjin saw that Shi Gen was taking good care of his wife. Although he was a rough countryman, there was warmth towards his wife and daughter in his eyes.Not the flattering type either.Qiao Mingjin settled down on the spot.

After the candidate was selected, she was relieved.

There are too many people who come to ask for work every day, and they are all from the village, so it is really hard for her to refuse.Look at who's situation is similar.She was afraid that if she dragged on for another ten days and a half months, she would be able to offend everyone.

The villagers didn't say anything after they found out that they had made an appointment. Now that the wooden piles they dug were still waiting for Qiao Mingjin's valuation to receive the goods, they didn't dare to complain easily.

On the contrary, Mrs. Sun and Mrs. Yu came to the door and said some lies.But Qiao Mingjin ignored them.

It's just that Yue Donggen, that brat, rushed in.Seeing Wan'er and Ming Qi playing a game of picking up sticks on the ground, she quickly ran over and grabbed them in her hands.He ran away in a hurry.

When Ming Qi reacted and chased after him, the little boy jumped a long way.

It caused Wan'er to cry hard.

The game of picking up sticks was also taught by Qiao Mingjin to the two of them. Throw a stick of equal thickness and length to the ground, and then use the same stick to pick them up one by one, but do not move the other sticks until the sticks on the ground The wooden sticks were picked up.

This is also a game to exercise children's patience.

That bamboo stick was Yun Jin who went to the forest to break bamboo to make a bamboo grate.The rest of the material was split by Wan'er.The thickness is the same, and it is smooth.No glitches at all.

Unexpectedly, within a few days of playing, it was snatched by that skinny kid.

Qiao Mingjin happened to be preparing lunch in the courtyard.Seeing her daughter crying hard, she stepped forward and hugged her in her arms.

Turned around in the yard, bumped a few times, and coaxed: "Oh, don't cry, next time he comes again, he won't be allowed to come to the door. Wan'er beat him out with a small bamboo rake, okay?"

The little thing sobbed so sadly: "Uncle Biao made... wow... Wan'er's..."

Qiao Mingjin hugged her and turned around: "Yes, it belongs to our Wan'er. Uncle Biao made it for us Wan'er, right? Next time we will ask Uncle Biao to make some better ones for Wan'er, okay?" good?"

"...Wow...not good..."

Qiao Mingjin didn't know how to coax her anymore.

The pair of pebbles I picked up for Xiaodong last time were also snatched by her cousin when she was in Yue's house. At that time, with the protection of Mrs. Wu, Xiaosi didn't even dare to cry loudly, so he just bit his lips Weep silently.

Now that the mother and daughter have moved out, that child has come to snatch her again. Mrs. Sun really has to suppress her, otherwise the child may come again.

Ming Qi chased him around, and ran back angrily, gritting his teeth and panting heavily.

"If you dare to come to the door next time, I will knock out his teeth!"

When Yue Donggen started grabbing, his aunt and nephew were so focused on playing that they didn't pay attention.

They were robbed later, and they didn't realize it until someone ran a few steps.When Ming Qi went out to chase him, the little boy scurried left and right, he was used to the wild and familiar in the village, he dodged left and right, and led Ming Qi to the field.The little boy jumped into the field and ran away stepping on the ridges of the field.

Ming Qi didn't dare to go down.It was something other people had worked so hard to plant, so I stomped on the ridge angrily and cursed a few words, and came back angrily.

Seeing that her aunt was very angry, Wan'er gradually stopped crying.

At this time, the sound of bells came from far and near outside the door, jingling, crisp and loud.The two little things listened with pricked ears, and their eyes lit up.

Qiao Mingjin looked at her and smiled, put her daughter down on the ground, and said, "Go with Auntie."

The two little things held hands and ran out. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
