"It's better to apply first, what if there are no more places by then?" Big Mouth said, "Didn't you say that there is a quota limit?"

The lady who was queuing at the back was dissatisfied and shouted: "Big mouth, what do you mean? You also know that there is a quota limit. You signed up in front of me. What will happen to us behind us? You are grabbing a quota."

Although there are only two pennies a day, for country people who face the loess and back to the sky, two pennies is still money.

Anyway, they were pretty busy with things like the autumn harvest, so if there was any job that could earn them two cents a day, they would be willing to do it.

What's more, it's still at home, and I don't have to go far. I just do some cooking. After a few days, I have dozens of pennies, enough to pull cloth and make clothes.

If they do a good job, the merchant will give them a "reward". As for what the reward is, they don't say it. They only say that only those who do well will get it.

Big Mouth wanted to play tricks and occupied the spot first, but unfortunately, which one of the people in line was not the "aunt"? A few tough ones came out, one by one with an arm, and carried her to the back.

"Honestly wait in line. If you don't want to wait in line, go home and don't cause trouble here."

When Big Mouth saw that this old woman was not easy to mess with in the village, he could only glare at her angrily: "You know how to meddle in other people's business, what does it have to do with you?"

"Why is it none of my business? It's none of my business that you were in line behind me but ended up in front of me." The aunt rolled her eyes and stood up in her seat.

In the front, Old Man Tang and Tang Dahai were responsible for weighing and placing things, Lin Sanmei was responsible for reporting names and handing out signs, and Lin Simei was responsible for recording. They were not affected in any way and everything was in order.

After handing over the sweet potato noodles and receiving the sign, the lady moved to the table next to her and asked Zhu Bamei whether she wanted to sign up. She also asked them questions they were concerned about.

Mrs. Li also knew that they were concerned about these things, so she moved a chair to chat with them, mainly responsible for solving everyone's doubts.

"I can definitely get this money. If our Zhu family comes forward, who dares not to give it?"

"It's not a heavy job, otherwise it only costs two cents. It's not like there are no part-time workers in the village. If you don't believe me, go back and ask them what they did every time they went out and how much they paid."

"Yes, this happened to Li Zheng and the clan leader. They also knew about it and agreed to it. Without their permission, our Zhu family would not dare to do such a thing."

"Hey, this aunt, please don't talk nonsense. We in the Zhu family are serious farmers, not businessmen, so don't blame us. If you say this, it will reach my mother's ears.

She won’t let us be the middleman. When the time comes, you can discuss it with the merchants yourself.”

"Can you convince the merchants?"

…

It's not that no one wants to bypass the Zhu family and bargain directly with the merchants, hoping to get more wages. But at the same time, they are also a little worried: Aunt Zhu can deal with the merchants because she has the ability, but can they?

When we arrived in the town, they couldn't even speak complete words to the shopkeepers. Then when we got in front of this big businessman, then...

"Let me tell you, my mother fought for these two copper coins," Li, who was in charge of public opinion, continued, "Do you really think that two copper coins are too little? I only let you work for half a day, and it doesn't delay the work at home.

Two copper plates, 30 days a month, that’s 60 copper plates. Calculate for yourself, how many kilograms of pork can you buy for sixteen copper plates per pound? No, you can just change it to cloth... It’s home again

At the door, wasn’t this picked up for free?”

She also said that they originally wanted to calculate the number of copper coins per month, so the Zhu family made a calculation. They felt that this was not cost-effective, so they changed it to days.

What's more, this is just the first time of cooperation. If they do well in the future, they will be willing to continue to give work to their village, and the wages will be negotiable by then.

But if they fail this first time, they won't be able to do this kind of work in the future.

"In these ten miles and eight towns, which woman can earn sixty coppers a month and not miss three meals a day at home? I'm afraid her husband's family will also have a hard time. If the husband's family wants to eat meat, they have to look at the face of their daughter-in-law.

"Yes." Ms. Li said with a smile, "Of course, many of you are already mothers-in-law, so that's okay. You come to do this job and let your daughter-in-law eat meat looking at your face. It's the same. Anyway,

Now there is only one quota per family, so you have to decide what to do."

Everyone laughed: "Sister-in-law Zhu, look at what you said. It's either based on your mother-in-law's face or your daughter-in-law's face. How come this kind of thing turns into a bad thing as soon as it falls into your mouth?"

"How is this a bad thing? Isn't it a good thing for people who work and get paid?" Li said deliberately pretending to be confused, "Don't you want the whole family to see your face? Do you want to eat meat? Okay, treat me like this

I'm happy, but I'm not happy anymore because I spent money to buy meat... Haha! If I don't buy it, I'll buy myself some new clothes. You'll be so angry!"

While talking, he also pretended to act on the spot.

Everyone was amused. They thought that the fourth sister-in-law of the Zhu family was usually only seen as smart and good at settling accounts, but they didn't expect her to be quite interesting.

Just by looking at her lively face, you can tell how good her life is. Otherwise, if she dared to say such things in front of everyone, wouldn't she be afraid that it would reach the ears of the old godly woman?

Among the group of people, Big Mouth rolled his eyes: "Tsk! If that old godly woman hadn't broken her leg, how could she dare to be so arrogant?"

Some people heard her, but they pretended not to hear her and ignored her.

When Big Mouth saw that no one was paying attention to her, she became even more unhappy. She rolled her eyes and thought of a good idea.

"From Zhu Laosi's family," Big Mouth showed a smile and said, "Where is your mother? Why haven't you seen your mother recently? Didn't you say that she broke her leg? She has to go out even if her leg is broken.

Ah, otherwise there will be people who don’t know how high the sky is and how high it is.”

Mrs. Li accepted the call with a smile: "My mother is at home. She is much better now. Since the news of her broken leg spread, many people have cared about my mother and sent a lot of earthworks. I don't know which one they are.

The prescription has worked, and my mother's legs are feeling. After a while, when Dr. Xiao Baili comes back from Pushou City, and then someone can help take a look, maybe it will be fine. Aunt Yongning misses my mother.

Right? It’s okay. When my mother’s legs are healed, I’ll let my mother talk to your family.”

"Ah, your mother is getting better?" Big Mouth was stunned, "Didn't you say before that she won't get better?"

She was still gloating that the old lady was lame and paralyzed, but now Li told her that the old godly lady's legs might be healed?

Then isn't she happy for nothing?

When the others heard this, they were surprised and at the same time overjoyed: "It's true or not from Zhu Laosi's family. Can your mother's legs really be healed?!"

"Although we are not doctors, and we don't know whether it will be cured or not, my mother's legs have indeed regained consciousness," Ms. Li explained, "At first we thought my mother could not walk because the doctor said

, my mother fell so hard that she lost feeling in her legs. Now that the bones are healed, the tendons are also broken. If they are broken, they are unconscious, and if they are not conscious, they have no effect... But now that they are conscious, then press
