take a wife to support the family

Chapter 191

Within two days after the Lantern Festival, Li Caifeng brought people who could work to Lily to meet.

Those two people are just a couple, similar to Wenwa's parents, they are honest people who don't talk much and can work hard. Lily has met before, but they are not familiar with each other.

Lily first said: "I am here to do things, there is only one request, and you can do whatever I say. If you say that you have been farming longer than I have lived, and you want to make your own decisions, I will not agree. "

Among them, the male's surname is Wang, and his name is Wang Yongxing. He is still in the same family as Wang Xiaofu, but the relationship is very far away.Wang Yongxing rubbed his hands and said, "We said that we have been farming for many years, but we have not been able to grow anything famous. Although you are not very old, you are smarter than us. We are willing to listen to you."

Wang Yongxing's family just nodded along with her husband, without knowing a word.

Later Li Caifeng said to Baihe: "Look at the Yongxing family, you just married at the New Year's Eve, I was afraid that you would grow up like her in the future, luckily you are enlightened!"

Lily thanked her with a smile: "If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be where I am today."

Lily first chatted with Wang Yongxing and his wife, and slowly asked how much land they had in their family, how many people they had, and why they came to help her instead of planting their own land.

Although she spoke softly and in a low voice, which was very comfortable to listen to, she was well-organized. In the eyes of Wang Yongxing and his wife, it was already a great interrogation. Shi Shi's answer was not what Lily wanted to ask at all.

Fortunately, Li Caifeng has a lot of patience. Seeing that these two people are really honest, they don't seem to be cheating and cheating, and Li Caifeng is there to protect them. No matter what, Li Caifeng wants to save face, so she listens seriously.

It turns out that there is a problem in the Wang family. It is best to bully an orphan and widow. It was like this with Wang Auntie and Wang Xiaofu. When Wang Yongxing was fourteen or fifteen years old, both parents died in the chaos more than 20 years ago. At such a young age, the clansmen should adopt him as an adopted son, they think he is too big to raise well, just leave him alone, the fields in his hands are really coveted.

The half-sized man guarded dozens of acres of land, but he couldn't hold it after all. He asked his clansmen to pick up the fertile fields bit by bit, and finally only a few thin fields were left in his hands.Later, I married a daughter-in-law who was also from a poor family. Neither of them was quick-tempered, and they couldn't find a way to make money, so they had to live a miserable life.

Here, Baihe is not afraid of the honesty of the hired people, but she is afraid of having her own ideas, such as Song Xiuxiu who is bold and wholeheartedly picking things for her family, she will never dare to use them.

After all the calculations, Wang Yongxing and his wife were quite suitable, so she talked about the wages: "Our family's wages are definitely not comparable to those of big families, but they are not too few. Even the vegetables in the field, you will pay for every crop. share."

Wang Yongxing and his wife nodded incessantly: "We know that you are a generous person. If you are a rich family, we would not dare to go."

Liufu Zhuangzi recruited people every year. These two were afraid that they would be too stupid, and they would be pushed out if they went to the Zhuangzi. They never dared to go until Baihe wanted to hire someone, so they trembled to try their luck. .

It was also because they were lucky, Lily was quite satisfied, the two sides agreed on the wages and prices, Lily said: "Since that's the case, I will go to the village elders to make a contract in the afternoon tomorrow, and it will be easy to do things in black and white."

She recognized the contract, but Wang Yongxing and his wife only recognized her. When they heard that they were going to write a contract, they panicked again: "We don't know any big characters, so how dare we make a contract."

Lily smiled and said: "It's for the purpose of checking things in the future. Not only you, but also the second sister of the Song family who come to work here, they also need to sign a contract. When the time comes, it will be written in triplicate and stamped with your fingerprints. If you suspect that I have teamed up with the village elders and guarantors to deceive people, you can also bring your own share to find someone to confess, and you will not be able to hide anything wrong."

Wang Yongxing's complexion was yellow, and there were some cracks on his face like dry bark. He didn't look like the people born in this beautiful Qingliu Town. He rubbed his hands and sweated: "It's not that I don't trust you, but I'm really afraid."

The couple repeatedly declined, but Lily insisted on signing the contract.In her previous life in the countryside, she often saw quarrels and fights over trivial matters. Country people don't pay attention to contracts, and they don't write certificates for borrowing money or doing work.

Seemingly honest and reliable farmers, it is really a headache to be unreasonable.

She just wanted to live a good life, but she didn't want to cause trouble for herself, so she would rather be tough and write a letter than rely on word of mouth to do things.

Li Caifeng didn't take the matter of making a contract seriously, so she helped to persuade her: "The Danian family has this temper, and it means that they don't want to take advantage of others. That is, I took up space in her shop to open a steamed stuffed bun shop, and we even signed a contract. Write down the monthly rent in miles."

Of course, the two of them are as good as a family, except for the rent, there are countless things to take a bun and drink a bowl of soy milk, and no one cares about it.

Lily couldn't understand the reverence these two honest people had for the writing paper. Seeing Li Caifeng's persuasion, they hesitated for a while, so she said: "Tomorrow, I will take my second sister to sign the contract. If you want to do it, come, and if you don't want to do it, don't come." , I'll find someone else."

Wang Yongxing and his wife were startled and frightened, and they stumbled out. Li Caifeng said to Lily: "Those are two honest people, why do you bother to scare them?"

Lily sighed and said: "People can't be too honest. Look at them, it seems like I want to harm them. I'm really afraid that I will get entangled with such people. If I don't make a contract, something will happen in the future. People will see it." They are so honest and poor, and seeing that I am living a good life, I seem to be a shrewd person, so I must be biased and say that I blackmail them. Instead of that, I might as well take precautions now, as people say, first villain and then gentleman.”

Li Caifeng has a reputation as a shrew, and she has also suffered from honest people who are naive and cunning. She doesn't need to say much to understand it: "You just know it in your heart."

The next day, Second Sister Song came to the store early in the morning to look for Lily. Lily was selling breakfast and couldn't leave, so she told her, "You eat pea curd and wait for me for a while, and then go after this time passes."

Song Ermei was not too polite, she made a bowl of salted bean curd to eat, and helped to wipe the table with a rag after eating, which greatly relieved Lily's stress.

When the most crowded time passed, Li Caifeng asked Li Caifeng to watch the store, and she took Song Ermei to sign the contract.Li Caifeng asked: "Don't wait for those two?"

"Wait, but I can't wait."

As soon as Baihe and Song Ermei went out, they saw Wang Yongxing and his wife standing on the opposite corner of the street for an unknown how long, their faces pale with cold.

Lily stomped her feet: "Hey, why don't you go in when you're here, let me see you earlier, so you won't be waiting here in vain!"

Wang Yongxing stammered and said: "We don't look good, so it's rare to go in and be ashamed."

Lily couldn't hear this anymore, so she dragged the two of them into the store, and by the way they swallowed and licked their lips, she knew that they didn't have breakfast, so she hurriedly put a bowl of bean curd and two steamed buns on the table for them to eat.

Wang Yongxing was afraid that he would occupy the seat and the other guests would have no place to sit, so he picked up the bowl and squatted beside him, drinking in a low voice.His woman has never been on a table in half her life, and she is very uncomfortable sitting, and it is ugly to squat down, and she is sweating in a hurry.

Seeing that they were really uncomfortable, Lily gave Wen Wa Niang a wink, and Wen Wa Niang pulled Wang Yongxing's family back.Wang Yongxing's Jianwenwaniang was a woman about her age, not as young and bright as Baihe, so she put most of her heart down and followed obediently.

Li Caifeng came over: "I've never seen you so soft-hearted, yesterday you were afraid of trouble, and today you are pulling people to eat."

"Whether it's successful or not, how can we miss this meal?" Lily has tasted the taste of starvation, and she is extraordinarily careful when eating. The sincerity of treating people is to invite people to eat delicious food. If the other party does not accept this kindness, She can't help it either.

After breakfast for a while, Wang Yongxing and his wife's stomachs became hot and their faces turned red. They said that Lily is a good person, and they will do their best to repay her in the future.

Lily didn't dare to accept this, so she hurriedly said, "You just have to work hard. I'm going to take my second sister to make a deed, will you go?"

Those two people followed behind without saying a word, and Lily couldn't help laughing: It's better for such a person to be more at ease than those who are so carefree.

Baihe and Song Ermei walked in front hand in hand, Wang Yongxing and his wife followed behind, and went to the old man's house for a while, invited clerks, middlemen, and guarantors, and wrote a contract, agreeing on the responsibilities and obligations of both parties, how to settle wages, and if What if I was injured during work... Write them down one by one, and put your fingerprints on them.

Although Lily can write, there is no need to show off at this time, just press the handprints with the illiterate people, leave dozens of money for the drinks of the middlemen, and bring three hired workers out.

"Look, no one has eaten you!" Second Sister Song laughed when she heard Lily whisper what had happened along the way.

Wang Yongxing carefully folded the writing paper and put it in his arms, "No, no..."

Lily quickly reminded him: "Writing paper can't get wet. You can leave it like this for a while. When you go back, find a reliable place to put it down, so as not to be stained with sweat. Besides, don't forget to put it in the rice cabinet and noodle cabinet, so as not to attract insects." .”

Wang Yongxing and his wife had never seen a few pieces of paper for writing in their two and a half lives. They were really trembling. After returning home, they scratched their ears and scratched their cheeks for a long time. Finally, it was Wang Yongxing's family who came up with the idea and put it under the god-worshiping incense burner.

Within two days, the two discovered that Lily could also write and settle accounts, and the look in her eyes was wrong: they all said that the person who could read was Mr. Wenquxing, but the one in Da Nian could also write, could it be that she was a female Wenquxing?
When they asked about this, everyone who heard it laughed so hard that their stomachs hurt. Li Caifeng said: "Our family is not a female Wenquxing, but a good fortune fairy under the God of Wealth. The God of Wealth and Wenquxing are friends, and the good fortune fairy Recognition."

She was talking nonsense, but she didn't expect the words to be passed around, and then to her ears, someone already swore about the ancient history of Wenquxing and the God of Wealth together exorcising demons and blessings.
