Chapter 398 Unable to Hire

Under the big willow tree at the entrance of the village, a dozen villagers were chatting together.

"Everyone's staying here!"

Liang Fugui came closer with a smile on his face, greeted everyone, and then continued directly,

"My family is planning to give up farming and go into business. We've already bought the beets and are now waiting to make sugar.

But we are too busy to handle it, so we are looking for a few people to help out. If anyone is willing to earn this money, please come and sign up with me."

Everyone looked at each other, and no one spoke.

Da Longzi couldn't stand Liang Fugui's behavior. He raised his eyelids and glanced at him, "Liang Fugui, how much do you charge per day?"

Liang Fugui chuckled, "Brother Dalongzi, our Liang family sugar mill has just started operating, so the wages are definitely not as good as those of the Chen family sugar mill. But don't worry, once our sugar mill is on the right track, the wages will naturally not be unfair to everyone."

Upon hearing this, Dalongzi snorted and laughed, "Don't do those unfounded things, just tell me the amount of money and it's over."

"We've tentatively decided on ten cents a day."

Liang Fugui felt that the wages were indeed not much, and he hurriedly explained,

"Don't worry, everyone. Although the wages are a bit low now, as the business expands, I will definitely not treat you unfairly. Then we can make money together, drink wine together, and eat meat together."

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at him with contempt.

Why are you pretending to be such a jerk? There's meat to eat with it. Eat your mother's thigh stick.

Everyone knows that Liang Fugui is stingy and likes to take advantage of others. He is a legend in the world of stinginess.

Once, a pork seller came to the village. Liang Fugui reached out and grabbed a piece of pork, turning it over and over in his hands.

He kept muttering, "This meat looks quite fresh, but the price is a bit expensive."

The butcher thought he was serious about buying, so he smiled and explained, "The meat is from a pig that was slaughtered early this morning. It's absolutely fresh, and the price is very fair."

Liang Fugui curled his lips, neither saying he would buy nor not buy, and kept rubbing his hands back and forth on the meat.

The butcher was a little dissatisfied, but he still reminded her patiently.

"If you really want to buy it, I can give you a discount, but please stop rubbing it here. How can others buy it if they see it?"

Liang Fugui acted as if he hadn't heard anything and continued with his actions. "What are you talking about? Buying meat is a big deal. We can't be careless. I have to take a good look at it!"

He rubbed the meat for a long time before putting it down and waving his hand. "Your meat is too lean. Let's wait a few days!"

After saying this, he returned home, washed off the lard on his hands with clean water, and told Liang to use the lard to cook a pot of vegetables...

Another time, an old man came to the village to sell sesame oil. Liang Fugui took a bowl and bought two taels of sesame oil.

After the old man gave him some incense oil, he refused to take it.

The old man had no choice but to pour the sesame oil back.

But the bowl was filled with a lot of sesame oil, and he happily took the little oil in the bowl and mixed it with the cold dishes...

In addition to these, he often went to his neighbors to borrow rice.

Borrow ten kilograms, but return nine and a half kilograms.

Basically, he borrowed money from almost every household in the village.

The same routine happens several times every year.

If you argue with him, he will definitely not admit it and may even bite back.

After a while, the villagers knew what kind of person he was, and no one wanted to deal with him anymore.

Today he wanted to hire someone to help him with the work, but no one was willing to go.

Erdanzi looked at Liang Fugui with disdain and sarcastically said, "Come on, forget it! Who has ever eaten a meal at your house, drank a sip of water, or even eaten meat with you in all these years? You're just fooling me!"

As soon as the words fell, everyone echoed,

"That's right, you should just sit on the kang and drink and eat meat. We don't have the luxury of that."

"That's right. We dare not provoke someone like you who values ​​friendship and loyalty. If you really turn your back on us, we can't stand the humiliation."

"Who says it's not true? We would rather beg for food than work for someone with bad intentions."

Hearing their roundabout way of speaking, insulting and mocking her, Liang was so angry that she immediately jumped up and down.

"Big Dragon! Who are you calling evil? According to you, since Qing has helped our family, I have to be her slave for the rest of my life!"

"That's right, why don't you do something that can make you rich, but instead keep your head down and work as a farmhand for others?" Liang Fugui also took over the conversation in a sarcastic tone.

"I don't know what kind of magic potion that little girl surnamed Chen fed you to make you work so hard for her. As far as I know, she charges her family 30 cents a day, but only 20 cents for you. If she really takes you seriously, would she treat you differently?"

Dalongzi sneered, "They are real relatives. Let alone thirty cents, even if it's three hundred cents, we wouldn't be jealous."

"Okay, you're brave. You're a good person, and you know how to repay kindness." Liang Fugui was so angry that his face twisted. He pointed at Da Longzi and said, "Since you have such a conscience, then you should work hard for Chen and be an obedient dog!"

"You're looking for a beating." Dalongzi jumped up and yelled angrily, waving his fist to hit him.

"Big Dragon, stop it!"

Hearing the shout, Dalongzi was startled and stopped. When he saw the person coming, he suppressed his anger and took a few steps back.

Wu Baoan walked over with a sullen face, without saying a word. He glanced at everyone, and finally his eyes fell on Liang Fugui.

"Fugui, if you want to hire someone to do the work, just hire them to do the work, don't make personal attacks."

"Yes, yes, we were just joking!" Liang Fugui knew his own limitations and knew he would suffer if a fight broke out. He gave Da Longzi an awkward smile and said, "Look at you, you're an adult, yet you're still fighting after just a few words. Aren't you afraid of being laughed at?"

Dalongzi rolled his eyes and ignored him.

As a village head, Wu Baoan cannot favor Chen Qingqing, nor can he suppress Liang Fugui. If anyone in the village wants to do something to make a living, he must fully support them.

Wu Baoan paused for a moment, and his tone softened.

"Fugui, you want to make candy, which is a good thing. We are all happy for you. You should work hard and strive to become the second Chen family. When you become rich, don't forget to take care of your neighbors."

"Don't worry, village head. I will never forget my fellow villagers." Although Liang Fugui hated Dalongzi and others in his heart, his face was full of humility. Wu Baoan was the village head and had great prestige in the village. His words could not be refuted.

"That's good. I believe you." Wu Baoan said, looking at everyone, "Now the Fugui family also wants to go into business and make sugar. As fellow villagers, we should help. Who among you is willing to work for his family?"
