She was worried, worrying about which one her mother would favor, and if she would end up pampering a prodigal, then everything in front of her would be a dream, but she couldn't say it out loud if it was such a disgrace to the scenery.
Su Qianxiu came in with a dozen people, who looked very presentable, and took several people into the living room.
Chen Yu came out with Su Qiaoniang and Geng Ruchun.
These people stood up solemnly and said hello.
After Chen Yu asked everyone to sit down, he said: "I originally thought that after the things here are finished, I would like to invite you neighbors who are not surnamed Su to have a meal. After all, living in the same village is a matter of friendship.
I also have something to ask for."
These dozen or so people all looked at each other. They were the ones who wanted to ask for something. What could the Su family ask for from them?
Chen Yu said with a smile: "You just came over, let's discuss it. The Su family has a lot of farmland now, you should have heard about it."
Everyone nodded.
"There is a lot of arable land, so manpower is needed to take care of it. I want to find a dozen families to work with my uncle. The wages are calculated from the beginning to the end of the year. Male laborers are paid more, 30 taels of silver a year, and female laborers are paid a little less.
Less, two and a half a year, in addition to food." Chen Yu said.
"The Su family is not allowed to do this?" the dark and muscular young man asked suspiciously.
Chen Yu smiled: "Don't be surprised, everyone. The Su family is all like-minded. If you don't want the whole family to be in disharmony, you don't need many people."
The young man yelled and stood up: "Grandma Su, there are six men working in my family. My father's name is Zhou Mantun. I am the eldest son of the Zhou family. There are four younger brothers in the family. The youngest got married last year, so he can work with Uncle Geng.
Are you alive?"
"Yes." Chen Yu said with a smile: "Go back and discuss this with your family. There are rules for working to make money."
"That's right. I'll go back and tell you." Zhou Dabao took two steps out and then came back. He said with a blushing face: "Grandma Su, our family wants to rent ten acres of land. Is this okay?"
"Okay, three taels of silver per acre of land." Chen Yu glanced at Su Qianxiu: "Qianxiu, go and take the eldest brother of the Zhou family to register with your third uncle."
"Yes." Su Qianxiu immediately took Zhou Dabao out.
More than a dozen people stood up: "Can we also register?"
"Go." Chen Yu pointed to the school. More than a dozen people cheered and left. Except for Zhou Dabao, no one asked about the work.
"Mom, at that time you said you would also use the Su family to work." Geng Ruchun reminded Chen Yu.
Chen Yu nodded: "Our family needs long-term workers and people who will work with our Su family in the future. The Su family will not follow us every year."
Geng Ruchun seemed to understand but not quite.
Chen Yu didn't point it out. After all, it hadn't happened yet, so it would be inappropriate to announce it verbally. He turned around and asked Su Qiaoniang: "What do you think of your third uncle?"
"Third uncle?" Su Qiaoniang pursed her lips: "Mom, third uncle used to be very close to dad, but then dad was gone, and he gradually stopped moving around. Today, third uncle came too, and didn't say anything."
Chen Yu nodded: "I know your third uncle hates me in his heart, but you can't blame him. I almost made you children miserable. So, you go and invite your third uncle and
Third Aunt, come here."
Su Qiaoniang nodded and went out.
Chen Yu then said to Geng Ruchun: "Ruchun, you have to remember that you are our family. From now on, all the farmland in our hands will be under your control. You have to learn more about writing and calculation, and then
You still need to learn how to employ people, and in the future we will also accept some domestic slaves. I am telling you this, just keep it in your heart."
Geng Ruchun nodded quickly, respecting this mother-in-law even more in his heart.
Su Cheng was sitting at home and sulking. Mrs. Min next to her tried to persuade her for a long time, but Su Cheng remained silent.
"Why are you so stubborn? If you think your second sister-in-law is reckless, go ahead and tell her! What's the use of sulking over a relative who has broken bones and connected tendons?" Mrs. Min was also angry.
Su Cheng's face turned livid: "What did I say? She can be patient, and she doesn't even look at the people who added insult to injury back then. Now everyone is laughing at her behind her back. Once she gains power, she doesn't know what's going on."
"You said this!" Min's eyes were red with anger.
Su Cheng spat: "Why are you angry with me? Let me ask you, have people ever looked for you? I'm a brother-in-law, so it's hard to say, but you are a sister-in-law, and they won't pay attention to you!"
Min was stunned by these words and was about to leave with a stamp of her feet.
"Are third uncle and third aunt at home?" Su Qiaoniang asked loudly from outside the door.
Mrs. Min stopped and turned around to glare at Su Cheng: "The child is here. If you dare to talk nonsense, I will starve you to death!"
"Come on, come on, hurry up and open the door." Su Cheng waved his hand.
Min went out: "Qiao Niang, you are at home, you are at home."
Opening the door, Su Qiaoniang handed the basket in her hand to Mrs. Min: "It's long past time to see Third Aunt. It's because of my poor health. My mother is so busy that her feet don't even touch the floor. What is Third Aunt busy at home?"
Woolen cloth?"
"It's all trivial matters at home, and I'm very busy. Come in quickly." Mrs. Min warmly took Su Qiaoniang's hand into the house.
When Su Qiaoniang entered the room, she took a look at Su Cheng's face and smiled: "Oh, is Third Uncle angry? Didn't I come at the wrong time?"
"You came at the right time." Su Cheng pointed to the stool next to him: "Sit down and my third uncle will ask you."
"What are you asking!" Mrs. Min was furious. This man's dumb temper was really worrying.
Su Qiaoniang sat down with a smile: "Third uncle, please ask."
Su Cheng ignored the Min family and asked Su Qiaoniang: "Does your mother have enough money to use the village's fields?"
"I really don't know about this. It should be there, otherwise those people wouldn't be clean?" Su Qiaoniang was still smiling.
Su Cheng sighed: "We want to live a stable life. If nothing else, your mother has been too excited for the past year. You see, everyone has to take advantage of it. If we are in trouble, no one will step on us."
The feet are all good."
"Third uncle is right." Su Qiaoniang nodded immediately: "I am also worried. Just now my mother asked me to invite third uncle and third aunt over, so I came right away. Third uncle, you have to persuade me.
I would like to advise my mother, don’t make things too big, what can you do if you can’t end it by then?”
Now, Su Cheng couldn't sit still. This was what he was worried about. Now that Su Qiaoniang said the same thing, how about it?
"What are you doing?" Min held Su Cheng's hand.
Su Cheng frowned: "Didn't you hear the second sister-in-law ask us to go? The second sister-in-law must have realized it and got anxious."
Min didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Are you going just like that?"
"Yes." Su Cheng turned around and went into the house to take out the money box: "Let's send it to the second sister-in-law for emergency first, and then we'll see if we can think of other ways."
Su Qiaoniang was shocked. She didn't expect that her third uncle was so protective of her family.
Mrs. Min nodded: "Okay, if we are really short on money, I will go back to my parents' house to borrow some."
Su Qiaoniang stood up slowly, feeling her heart warm. These were her third uncle and third aunt, and they were her father's last biological brothers.
Chen Yu was closing his eyes to rest, when he heard Su Qiaoniang saying hello outside the door: "Mom, third uncle and third aunt are here."
Chen Yu stood up to welcome him out. He saw Su Cheng's livid face. Just as he was about to speak, he saw Su Cheng put the box in his arms on the table and said in a low voice: "That's all I have in my family. There are five in total."
Twelve taels of silver have been brought."
Nani and Chen Yu frowned. How could these two people see that they were short of money?
