Ugly Peasant Wife: Money Grubber

"Then do you still want to use this dagger? I forgot to ask you last time since you came. " Yang Xinyu asked.

Su Xigui coughed unnaturally, "Do you lack money on you?"

The meaning behind his words was that if he was lacking money, he could just take it as a gift.

The only thing to blame was that the words were too hidden, adding on to that, Yang Xinyu did not even think of that direction, so it was natural that she understood it to mean something else, "I'm not lacking at the moment, Young Master Su, do you want to borrow money?"

She glanced from side to side at the man, thinking he didn't look like he was short of money.

However, since gave her the 10 taels of silver, she could not be stingy, "Young Master Su, if you lack money, other than the 10 taels, I can also lend you 5 more."

Then, in order to show her generosity, she added, "If it was anyone else, I wouldn't have borrowed a single cent."

Hearing this, Su Xigui felt extremely comfortable in his heart. She was willing to lend him the money, and no one else would lend him a single cent.

He coughed and said, "Ahem, if I didn't want to borrow money, I would just casually ask."

Yang Xinyu heaved a sigh of relief, and quickly cleaned up the pail, "That's good, I still have things to do at home, so I won't say anymore."

"Right." Su Xigui groaned, and quickly disappeared.

When Yang Xinyu returned home, the medicine was just ready, so Hee Zijun laid on the bed to rest.

She scooped up a bowl of steaming hot medicine and placed it in front of him. "Younger Brother, it's time to drink the medicine."

Hee Zijun drank it all in one gulp, his face scrunched into a frown, "Sister, it's so bitter!"

Yang Xinyu thought of the candied fruit Zhao Baogang had given him and brought it over. "Drink all of the medicine in one go, and you can eat another candied fruit right away."

"Alright …" Hee Zijun's face was filled with unwillingness, but he still drank the entire pill in one go.

This was medicine that was bought with one tael of silver. No matter how bitter it was, he would drink it!

Yang Xinyu quickly stuffed a candied fruit into his mouth.

"Sister A, it's really not going to be tough anymore!" Hee Zijun smacked his lips. He felt a sweet and sour taste burrow into his taste buds, covering the bitter taste in an instant.

"But even this little candied fruit is not enough to eat." After saying that, his small face wrinkled again.

Yang Xinyu laughed, "Don't worry, A'jie will make candied fruits for you to eat tomorrow."

She hadn't thought that this child would be afraid of hardships. Seeing how he usually did all sorts of farm work and was omnipotent, it turned out that he also had a weakness.

Hee Zijun wanted to say something good, but he thought of something and hesitated, "Tomorrow … Didn't sister want to go to Linghuan Tower to deliver the goods? "

"I have to build a house in the next few days. I want to stay at home and take care of the workers, so I might as well not go." Yang Xinyu had deliberately not said that because of Hee Zijun's injuries. Otherwise, who knew how much she would blame herself.

Hee Zijun lowered his head and said, "It will take at least a month to build a house, and if Second Boss does not go to Linghuan Tower for a month, wouldn't he be angry?"

Although Yang Xinyu didn't say anything, he was still secretly blaming herself in his heart. If he was not injured, she could go to the Linghuan Tower for the Fifth Sister-in-law.

But just like what the Fifth Sister-in-law said, she only had a brain injury, if she did not recuperate properly, in the future if there were any side effects, she would have to spend even more money.

This was definitely not something he was happy to see.

The agreement was white in black, but it did not state that she would provide much jam for him to eat every month. Yang Xinyu was very confident, "We did it for a reason, so I believe that Aunt Yang will definitely understand."

Speaking of which, it was strange. According to the Second Boss' tone, the guest at the inn had taken a fancy to the jam. He must have written it clearly on white paper or black paper, or at least reserved enough jam for the guest.

She didn't write anything, so was she not afraid that she wouldn't deliver the goods?

Just as he was lost in thought, a loud shout came from outside the room, "Little girl, are you home?"

Yang Xinyu heard the voice of the Ephor Gu, and immediately peeked her head out. She saw six or seven strong men, they should be workers.

There weren't that many rooms of her size.

Thus, she simply walked to the courtyard and shouted from afar, "I'm at home!"

Ephor Gu walked into the courtyard, looked left and right, and said, "I've found all the people for you, if you have no problems, we can start work today."

This used to be a small, run-down house, but now, it was filled with the aura of life. It seemed that this little girl's days were not bad.

Then he could rest assured and work for this group of workers.

"I think we'll start work today." Yang Xinyu said.

A group of workers were waiting outside the door. They hadn't even entered the courtyard yet. She could tell that most of them were unfamiliar faces. Only a familiar face could be seen, but she couldn't remember who it was.

Ephor Gu immediately said, "Alright, I will call the people to enter the courtyard and introduce them to you."

When a group of workers came in and stood in a row, Ephor Gu introduced them one by one, "These are the brothers of the Zhou family in the Liu family village, Zhou Dafa.

Then, the Ephor Gu pointed again, "This is a carpenter, you should know him as well. Our village's Xu Daniu and our county's Qian Erbao can be considered to be my old acquaintance, and he is also this year's foreman."

Yang Xinyu realised that the person who looked familiar to her was Xu Daniu.

It wasn't her fault that he had such a bad memory. Xu Daniu was the type of person who simply forgot after seeing people. She looked at them and found them familiar, but couldn't remember who they were.

"The other two are laborers, they worked hard. The two are Feng Daji from Feng Family Village and Zhao Da."

Yang Xinyu's eyes swept across the people one by one, and quickly matched their names.

In fact, other than Xu Daniu, the rest of them all had quite a unique personality. Take the Zhou brothers for example, Zhou Dafa was a tall fatty, and the skinny short one on Tuesday.

Qian Erbao was older, and looked a few years younger than the Ephor Gu.

Feng Daji's name was Da Ji, but he looked like he was about to cry. It was the complete opposite of his name.

Zhao Da looked to be around fourteen to fifteen years old, he looked very gentle, and he was slightly more slender than the others.

Overall, Yang Xinyu was very satisfied that Ephor Gu was able to find these six people for her. She pounded her chest and said, "Everyone, work for me, Yang Xinyu. I believe that everyone has heard about the salary from the Ephor Gu. As long as you perform well, I will also give everyone a bonus! "

The few men looked at each other in dismay. In truth, Yang Xinyu's wages were already considered high in this ten li area.

Amongst the six of them, only Xu Daniu was a member of the Mountain Village. He knew that it was not easy for Yang Xinyu to bring her brother-in-law over, so she quickly waved her hands when she heard it, "I don't want any bonus, just this money is enough for now."

Yang Xinyu saw that he was serious, and thought that it was even more strange, why would Hee Zijun hate honest people like Xu Daniu?

Ephor Gu shook his head, this Xu Daniu was an honest man, but wasn't he afraid of Madame Hu making trouble for him?

Madame Hu was a greedy woman.
