Chapter 92: You Can’t Earn This Much Money in Your Life

"Lianxin, put this agreement and the previous agreement together." Xiao Jiuyue sorted out the agreement she had just signed and the agreement for collecting sugarcane with her fingerprints. She had been worried about the shortage of sugar before, but now she doesn't have to worry at all.

With sugarcane, she will never lack sugar again.

Xiao Jiuyue was in a good mood. She picked the radishes and cabbages from the fields and transported them to the workshop for processing. Mrs. Geng led people to make pickled radishes and cabbages.

She ordered a batch of large vats from Tang Tian, ​​all of which were of exceptional quality.

Fertilizer is being added to the field now, and by the time of spring sowing, the fertilizer will start to take effect!

Xiao Jiuyue took a walk around the fields. Yu Ge was leading people to plow the soil. Only one of the yellow cattle bought by the family could do the work, so Yu Ge led the idle people, carrying hoes and digging the soil manually.

Yu Ge and others were sweating profusely. The land that had been fertilized was filled with a strong smell. Xiao Jiuyue didn't stay long and planned to go to the workshop to take a look. As soon as he arrived at the door of the workshop, he ran into Goudan's mother who was throwing a tantrum.

"Sister-in-law Shi, our Huang family and your Shi family are also relatives by marriage. Why can't we go to work in the workshop?"

"Everyone in the Xiao family's house has gone to work in the workshop. How can they still go to work in the workshop when they are paid?"

"Sister Shi, this is unfair. It's the people in our village who are in need of this job. The Xiao family is so rich, why are their servants trying to take jobs from us?"

Goudan's mother spoke in a particularly loud voice. She turned around and looked at the women and said, "Sisters, don't you agree?"

"That's right." Sun Liuniang also shouted, "You can't bully our villagers just because the Shi family has benefited from the Xiao family? This is unfair."

Sun Liuniang stared at Aunt Shi as if she wanted to eat her up. If it weren't for this orange workshop, her husband might have been the head of the village last year, and she might have been the head of the village's wife!

Aunt Shi didn't hesitate and directly retorted: "Sun Liuniang, please explain clearly. My old man has been working hard to make money for the village and everyone. Don't say that we are taking advantage of the Xiao family just by talking nonsense."

"Then why can the servants of the Xiao family work in the workshop, but people from our village can't go?" Sun Liuniang stood back as usual and pulled Goudan's mother over.

Goudan's mother nodded angrily and said, "Although we are peasants, we are not servants who serve others."

At the workshop door, Mrs. Geng and others listened to this with expressionless faces. They looked at the disgust in the eyes of Goudan's mother, Sun Liuniang and others, and thought: Even if you want to enter the Xiao family, you can't!

They have all been with the Xiao family for more than 20 years and their job is to serve others. However, the Xiao family is sensible and will never embarrass them for no reason.

"You ungrateful bastard! If it weren't for the Xiao family, the workshop..." Before Aunt Shi could finish her words, Xiao Jiuyue came over and interrupted her, "Whether you're a peasant or a servant, you're just feeding yourself. Don't you have to cook at home? Isn't that also serving people?"

Xiao Jiuyue was dressed in red and had a rabbit fur cape. When she stood there, she gave people a feeling of superiority. Goudan's mother and Sun Liuniang looked at each other and everyone took a step back tacitly. The Xiao family used to be arrogant and unreasonable, and the villagers had all suffered from it.

"Miss." Mrs. Geng and her group saluted Xiao Jiuyue in unison. The momentum they showed was something Goudan's mother and the others had never seen before.

Xiao Jiuyue nodded slightly, and every gesture gave people a sense of nobility, elegance, and being out of reach.

Goudan's mother lost all the momentum she had just used to challenge him, as if she had suddenly weakened. "That's different."

"It's different." Xiao Jiuyue nodded and said, "If you cook at home and the men and children at home are unhappy, they will give you the cold shoulder and complain that your food is not tasty. The most important thing is that there is no money."

"But Geng Mama and the others are different. The meals they cook are praised in Shengjing. They can earn five taels of silver a month just by cooking, and they don't have to worry about people's feelings." As Xiao Jiuyue finished speaking, Goudan's mother immediately said, "Impossible."

There was jealousy in Goudan's mother's eyes. Five taels of silver a month! They couldn't earn that much money at home in a year or two!

"Young lady, you're right." With the support of the young lady, Mrs. Geng straightened her back and asked, "You couldn't earn this much money by cooking at home all your life, right?"

"You still have to look at other people's faces." Goudan's mother felt embarrassed. She served the whole family at home, but never received any money.

"Then you're wrong. The young lady treats us very well and never gives us a cold shoulder. We even get bonuses during festivals." Mrs. Geng suddenly sighed and said, "I'm going to work in the workshop this month..."

"This Zhou Baopi from the Xiao family made you work for nothing, and you..." Before Goudan's mother could finish her words, she was blocked in her heart by Geng Po's words.

Mrs. Geng smiled happily and said, "I can earn money again this month. I can't help it. The young lady is so kind. Let alone serving others, I would be willing to serve the young lady for the rest of my life."

Goudan’s mother: “…” Why are you sighing about the processing fee?

"Aunt Shi, since they have such strong resentment towards the workshop, don't let them come to work in the workshop in the future, lest they get angry and damage their health." Xiao Jiuyue's light words made Goudan's mother, Sun Liuniang and others anxious.

"Mrs. Shi, this is in Fu'an Village. The Xiao family can't do this!" Goudan's mother looked at Mrs. Shi anxiously and said excitedly, "I will definitely come to work in the orange workshop this year!"

I worked in an orange workshop for half a year last year, and I was able to eat meat several times during the Chinese New Year at home!

"Don't worry, Miss Xiao." After sending Xiao Jiuyue away, Aunt Shi scolded Goudan's mother and the others, "Haven't you been asking who owns the workshop? It must be the Xiao family. Who made you offend Miss Xiao?"

"After all, the workshop has never lacked workers. If you were in their shoes and someone scolded you, would you still give them money?" Aunt Shi snorted coldly. Goudan's mother and the Sun family were not good people. Goudan's mother was almost selling her daughter at the doorstep. She would sell her to whoever offered the most money.

The Sun family? They're full of evil intentions.

"How, how could it be the Xiao family?" Goudan's mother wanted to chase in, but Jin Wen stepped forward to stop her. He had a stern face, and swallowed back all the words that Goudan's mother wanted to say.

"Liuniang, what should we do now?" Goudan's mother turned around, but there was no sign of Sun Liuniang. She slapped her thigh and said, "Sun Liuniang, stop right there! You're the one who made me come to the workshop to cause trouble. How could you run away?"

Later, Xiao Jiuyue heard that Goudan's mother and Sun Liuniang had a fight, one scratched her face and the other sprained her waist.

"Miss Xiao, I'm so sorry. The workshop is the Xiao family's business..." Aunt Shi slapped herself hard. She had wanted to keep it a secret, but now she revealed everything.

After Shi Lizheng knew the whole story, he immediately brought Aunt Shi to apologize.
