Super cute daughter-in-law

Chapter 270 Please Workers

Speaking of the New Year at home, Bai Xiangchen heaved a long sigh.

Then he said sadly: "Except for the ten catties of pork I brought back from you, I didn't spend money on anything at home. I even used the meat I brought back when I left relatives. I have some vegetables and fruits at home. Go with the rest The whole family ate less than two catties of meat for more than half a month, and by the time of the Chinese New Year, the meat brought back from here would have been eaten long ago.”

"Later, my second aunt's family sent us some white noodles. Fortunately, we could have a meal of dumplings on the evening of the [-]th, but they didn't taste like dumplings. My mother made all the vegetarian dumplings without any meat. "

Yang Liu frowned, and asked Bai Xiangchen, "Why is this happening? Didn't your mother and grandma say they were in the tofu business, did your father and grandfather also work outside? Why? Didn't make any money?"

Bai Xiangchen looked helpless: "There is some money in the family, but my mother refuses to spend it. She said that she will pay back the money to others after the end of the year, and keep the rest to buy fields. She has to find a way to get the old money back at home no matter what. Tian will buy it back within this year."

"Within this year? Your mother is going to rob someone's shop or something?" Yang Liu was taken aback. The less than ten acres of land was said to cost seven or eighty taels of silver. Apart from robbing, the Jiang family probably had no other way.

Hearing Yang Liu's unreliable words, Bai Xiangchen rolled his eyes angrily: "I don't know, anyway, mother said that I must buy the land back."

Yang Liu also knew that with Jiang's strong temperament, the life of the Bai family would indeed be difficult, and after the new year, she would force the family to earn money.

Although in the current situation of the Bai family, it is true that we need to save food and money, increase income and reduce expenditure, but sometimes we should not be too reluctant in dealing with people and things, otherwise people will be suffocated.

However, she can't let her intervene in the affairs of the Bai family now, so she can only tell Bai Xiangchen in private: "If you have time, I will persuade your mother, don't be so reluctant, take your time to buy the land, the most important thing is to live as a family happy."

But thinking about it, these words were just random words, and Yang Liu also knew that what he said was just empty words.

Bai Xiangchen understood his old lady's personality, and nodded casually: "Yes, I see."

After the two finished talking, they left the house.

In the yard, only Mrs. Cao and Sini were still sitting there, and the people from Mrs. Jiang's side did not come out of the room. It is probably because Mrs. Jiang's anger has not subsided, and Chrysanthemum and the others are still persuading them.

The Cao family and the others here thought that they saw Yang Liu dragging Bai Xiangchen into the house just now, but they couldn't figure out what was going on with the two of them, they waited for Yang Liu to come out and explain.

Seeing the two coming out, Mrs. Cao immediately stood up and gave Yang Liu a wink, meaning to let Yang Liu go over to them.

Yang Liu greeted Bai Xiangchen and asked him to go to Jiang's first, then Cao's, and found a pony to sit beside them.

Cao didn't wait for Yang Liu to sit still, and asked in a low voice, "What are you and Chen'er doing?"

Yang Liu shook his head lightly: "Nothing, I have something to talk about."

"What's the matter?" Cao Shi followed up and asked.

Yang Liu thought for a while, and said about Bai Xiangchen staying here to work, Mrs. Cao said: "Well, mother, I promised Ying Chen'er, after the first month, let Chen'er stay on the top of our mountain to work, We pay him monthly?"

Mrs. Cao didn't object to Bai Xiangchen staying here to work, but when she heard that Bai Xiangchen wanted to collect money, she looked at Jiang's room and yelled loudly: "Pay the monthly payment? Does he still want the monthly payment?"

Yang Liu tugged at the corner of her clothes, telling her to keep her voice down.

Cao lowered her voice a little: "I don't agree with giving Chen'er monthly money."

Yang Liu frowned amusedly: "Mother, what's the matter with you, the other side said to let me and the Bai family break up completely, but this time, they said that they would not even pay a monthly fee for hiring someone to come back to work?"

Mrs. Cao thought for a while, and suddenly remembered something, and exclaimed: "Then you mean that you and Chen'er are broken, and Chen'er will just be a worker working in our house from now on?"

"This..." Yang Liu didn't know how to explain it to Cao Shi. If the answer was yes, she estimated that Cao Shi would drive the Bai family away immediately, and there might be no relationship between her and Bai Xiangchen in the future.

There were indeed many problems between Yang Liu and Bai Xiangchen, so many that Yang Liu didn't have enough confidence to marry him, but Yang Liu never thought of breaking up with Bai Xiangchen completely.

To be more precise, it was precisely because she had hope for Bai Xiangchen that she wanted to put some pressure on him to become a real man.

Therefore, Yang Liu thought about it for a while, but still didn't confess to Cao Shi: "No, we are still the same as before. In short, just treat him as what you thought of him before."

When Cao heard this, she had a complicated expression on her face. She didn't know whether it was joy or disappointment. She looked at Yang Liu and nodded without making a sound.

Yang Liu knew that Mrs. Cao was worried about her marriage, so she patted Mrs. Cao's hand lightly, and comforted her: "Mother, don't worry, let me think about this matter again, and I will tell you when I think about it, there will be no delay." .”

Seeing Mrs. Cao nodded, she said again: "But when Chen'er works on the mountain, he still follows the same rules as other workers. At that time, he will be paid as much as others pay, but I have agreed with him. Let him come to live with us, and I have to teach him something."

Cao knew that Yang Liu's decision could not be changed by them, so she let her go. The worst result would be to marry Liu'er to the Bai family.

But when Yang Liu talked about hiring people on the top of the mountain, she asked with a look of surprise: "Liu'er, what do you mean, you don't just hire Chen'er as a worker on the top of the mountain?"

Yang Liu nodded: "Well, I'm afraid I'm going to hire two or three people who can do farm work, and I just want you to ask if the second uncle's family can come to the mountain to help, and the salary is [-] yuan a month. "

"Pay money to invite people from your second uncle's family?" Hearing this, Cao asked in puzzlement, "We don't do it with your second and third uncles on the top of the mountain? We rented it together?
Yang Liu looked at Mrs. Cao and smiled: "I originally thought about building the three together, but I settled the score. This time we will invest a lot more capital than the previous pig farms. I guess they don't have that many." silver."

"How much?"

Yang Liu did some calculations, and said a rough figure: "I guess it will take at least two or three hundred taels to get them all."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Cao gasped, "Then our family doesn't have that much money?"

"I'm thinking about money, you don't have to worry about it." Yang Liu signaled Cao's not to worry about money: "But you can do one thing for me."

"What is it?"

Yang Liudao: "Look if there is nothing to do, go to the second and third uncle's house, talk to them about the mountain, first ask their opinions, and say that if they want to get involved and work together, everyone A capital of 50 taels of silver needs to be invested."

After all, the three of them rented the mountain top together at that time, and now that my family is going to grow, I must feel free to ask their opinions, otherwise I will make a lot of money by then, and the Zhao family will probably make trouble again.

"50 taels of silver?" Mrs. Cao was taken aback by the amount, she quickly shook her head and said, "Where do they have so much money, they definitely won't do it."

Yang Liu smiled, and explained to Cao Shi carefully: "I don't think there is anything wrong with the second uncle, you just tell them directly, just explain the matter clearly."

"It's just the third aunt, you can't directly say that you want to leave them alone, and ask them for their own ideas first. If the third aunt says no, you can take the opportunity to tell them that our family will do it, but we will not treat them badly. From next year At first, the three of us worked together to build the pigsty at the top of the mountain, and we divided the money among the three families. But the money for Baoshantou was not paid by them, but by my family, which means that they only need to invest in the cost of buying pigs in the future.
Calculated in this way, Mrs. Cao felt that the two of them had taken advantage of it, and hurriedly said: "Well, they will definitely agree to this, and I think your second aunt will definitely not talk about this matter, it is you Third Aunt has a lot to do."

"It's just to prevent her, so I asked you to go over and ask." Moreover, Yang Liu has already made plans, and after Mrs. Zhao agrees, she has to sign the contract as before when she was working on this hill, so as to avoid future troubles.

"Sure, I'll take the time to go over there for lunch later." After saying that, Mrs. Cao was about to get up and go to the pot house to make lunch.

Seeing this, Yang Liu hurriedly pulled her: "Also, what I said just now, you can ask the second uncle's family, can you let the second uncle or Qing Guangming go to our mountain to work, after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month is over? Go to work?
"Just ask your second uncle's house, where about your third uncle's house, don't let them go?" Cao was a little embarrassed, and she guessed that Zhao would not agree.

Speaking of the members of the Zhao family, Yang Liu had a headache.

Needless to say, Mrs. Zhao is a difficult person to get along with. If he hadn't signed the contract because of the pigpen, Yang Liu would never have wanted to do business with such a person.

Besides, the third uncle Yang Manfu, yes, he is indeed an honest man, but unfortunately he is too honest, he is close to ignorance, he listens to Mrs. Zhao for everything, no matter how rude Mrs. Zhao is, he can't suppress it. This kind of indistinguishable right from wrong is actually not much different from Zhao's.

Because everything on the top of the mountain is done from scratch, and some reliable people are needed to work there. If Yang Manfu is allowed to go, Yang Liu is afraid that sooner or later, Yang Manfu will be forced by Zhao to say everything he should say. Come out, so Yang Manfu can't go to the mountain to work.

Yang Liu looked at Mrs. Cao and shook her head, and explained a few words to her: "Don't let the third uncle's family do the work, they have too much housework, and I don't want to be like the pigsty. something happened."

After a pause, Yang Liu continued: "And the children of the third uncle's family are young and need someone to take care of them, and they plan to start a pig business, so they probably won't be willing to work here, but you still have to say hello to them." , don’t make them quarrel again, as for what to say, you should discuss it with Second Aunt before going to their house to talk.”

After thinking about it for a while, Mrs. Cao felt that Yang Liu's words made sense, so she nodded and said, "I see, I'll go later."
