"Girl Jiang, what do you want us to do now?"
"Can we all stay?"
"Look at our skills, they're all top-notch. I heard Jiang wants to pick a few of us who can come and work. How much would you pay us per day?"
"Yeah, I heard that you, Jiang girl, made a lot of money outside. Is that true?"
Several women looked at Jiang Wan with twinkling eyes, making their own plans in mind.
"Jiang girl, you're almost old, and you haven't gotten engaged yet. Coincidentally, I have a nephew among my distant relatives who is about your age and very handsome..."
“That’s enough!”
As Qu Ning listened to their increasingly outrageous words, his face turned dark.
What the hell is going on.
"I asked you to come here so you could find a job to supplement the family income, not so you could ask questions. And now you're even planning on having sex with Jiang girl?"
As soon as Qu Ning finished speaking, the expressions of the women who had just spoken changed immediately.
"We are just asking!"
“Besides, this Jiang girl has made money. Everyone in the village knows about it. Their house is still under construction there.”
"Everyone knows that they just left the Jiang family not long ago, and now they can build their own houses and buy land? They must have made a lot of money in town."
An uneasy woman spoke with a look of dissatisfaction, and even argued.
"So what if they made money? They earned it through their own abilities. What does it have to do with you?"
The group of people were speechless after being silenced by Qu Ning.
"Hey, Qu Ning, how much good has this Jiang girl done for you? You always speak up for her, and we're just venting our complaints and chatting about family matters, aren't we?"
"Still complaining and chatting about family matters?"
Qu Ning was so angry at them that he felt dizzy.
"Is this a place for you to grumble and chat?"
"Alright, with people like you, what can you produce that's good? You spend all day staring at other people's pockets and gossiping about them. You better leave now."
Qu Ning immediately and impatiently ordered them to leave.
"Hey, Qu Ning, you've said all sorts of good and bad things about us. We followed you here, and now we haven't done anything, and you're asking us to leave? Why?"
"Just your mouth!"
Qu Ning's face was dark. Originally, this was at Jiang Wan's house, so she couldn't get too angry, but this group of people was simply too infuriating.
"It takes a lot of concentration to do these embroidery jobs. It's a wonder you can maintain that composure! You might as well leave as soon as possible to avoid wasting the fabric."
These words showed no mercy to them at all.
"How can you talk like that? What do you mean by wasting all that fabric?"
A dissatisfied woman came forward, and Qu Ning looked around.
Finally, he saw a broom in the northwest corner, strode over, picked up the broom, and rushed towards them.
"Hurry up and leave, or I'll be rude to you!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the broom in her hand fell to the ground, splashing a lot of dust again and again.
"Qu Ning, how dare you do this to us..."
The voices of the women gradually became quieter, and Qu Ning slammed the gate shut.
Qu Ning returned to the yard and looked at Jiang Wan with an apologetic look.
"Jiang girl, I'm so sorry. It's all my fault for not keeping a close watch on you. I let these troublesome people get in and disturb your mood."
She looked at Jiang Wan with an apologetic look.
"What are you talking about, Auntie? I know you mean well. Besides, if this person wanted to disguise himself, how could anyone see through him?"
Originally, even if those women came here, she would have tested them, but she never expected that those people would reveal their true nature in just a few words.
She turned and looked at the six remaining women in the yard.
"Aunts, I'm sure you've just seen it. If you want to work for me, you must be careful with your words and actions."
"Of course, I'm not stopping you from talking, but what you've seen and learned can't be leaked out casually. If we decide on this later, we still have to sign a contract.
"Also, and most importantly, I need to consider your embroidery work one by one. After all, in addition to those puppets, I also need you to embroider some sachets and other things."
"Those things are delicate and require patience and tricks. Don't worry, I'll draw them for you when the time comes."
Jiang Wan spoke out one by one, neither humble nor arrogant.
Qu Ning stood aside without saying a word.
"If you feel you can do this, you can stay. If you can't, you can leave first."
After all, if she can't do it, she won't use it no matter how good the embroidery is.
There were six people, and in the end no one left.
"Well, please wait a moment, aunties. I'll go into the house to get some stuff for embroidery."
What Jiang Wan asked them to do was actually not difficult, just very basic embroidery.
However, few women in the village are proficient in embroidery.
Jiang Wan didn't hold out much hope for this, but only hoped that their needlework would be just about good enough.
After a stick of incense had passed, the handkerchiefs in their hands had a rough outline.
Qu Ning looked at the things in their hands, put them away and handed them to Jiang Wan.
"Girl Jiang, what do you think of these?"
Jiang Wan looked at them one by one and took out three of the embroidered handkerchiefs.
"Who are the aunts who made these three handkerchiefs?"
Three women stood out from among them.
"Are you three ladies interested in coming to my place to make these handkerchiefs? I'll give you sixty coins a day."
When the three men heard this, they were delighted.
Nodding hurriedly, "We do."
"As for the other three aunts, your embroidery skills are also very dense. Would you like to stay and help me make dolls?"
"However, making puppets is easier than embroidery, so I can only give you fifty coins a day."
"We do! We do!"
When the other three heard that they could also stay, surprise appeared on their faces. Fifty cents a day was not a small amount.
In the past, they could only earn 10 to 20 cents a day by washing clothes for others, and that was the maximum.
Seeing that they all stayed, Qu Ning was happy for them.
These people are the ones she likes the most among the group she brought with her. They are steady in their work, thoughtful, and can really sit still.
The most important point is that these people keep their mouths shut.
"If you have no other questions, please come here tomorrow. I will draft the contract and teach you how to make the puppets."
After seeing off the women, Qu Ning looked at Jiang Wan.
"Jiang girl, I'm really sorry for today."
"What are you talking about, aunt? I should be the one thanking you today. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have found these capable aunts."
Qu Ning smiled and said, "Okay, now that I've found the person, I'll leave first. You go ahead and get busy. I'll come back another day when the doll is ready."
"Okay, see you later, auntie."
After seeing them off, Jiang Wan breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhang Xiaoyun came from behind.
