Chapter 510 Welfare

After Ye Beilin's affairs were arranged, Li Yiqin wanted to return to the village. Zhang Juexia and Ye Beixiu said a lot of good things, and Li Yiqin finally agreed to stay for a few more days.

"Juexia, we agreed that we'd only stay for two days. Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon, and there are so many things to prepare at home.

The crops planted on the mountain also need to be harvested.

Anyway, I can't just hide here with you and be lazy!"

"Sister-in-law, your embroidery hands won't be of much help even if you go back, so I'll give you a little advice.

Tell your eldest brother today that your uncle and aunt are old and need to take care of their health.

Don't force them to do housework that they cannot do.

If you can find someone to do it, find someone to do it.

If that doesn't work out, I'll raise your salary."

Li Yiqin quickly shook her head, "Your brother's salary is already quite high, so don't give him a raise.

Your eldest brother and I are the ones in charge when it comes to family matters, and we will find a way to properly handle it.

I see that you and Bei Xiu spend quite a lot, so try to save as much as possible on a daily basis."

Zhang Juexia said he understood.

As the Mid-Autumn Festival was approaching, Zhang Juexia and Ye Beixiu discussed privately to give everyone some Mid-Autumn Festival benefits.

Ye Beixiu pondered for a moment, "I think I asked around, but other shops don't have this saying."

"They are them, and we are us. I've thought about it. I'll give everyone a day off and distribute some things so they can go home and reunite with their families."

"Okay, you can discuss this with Li Le."

Zhang Juexia was a man of action. "Then I'll discuss this with Li Le right now, and then write a letter to inform Shopkeeper Li Xi, Aunt Wang, and Song Yu about the agreed-upon rules. In short, since everyone has chosen to follow me, I have to give them a reason to do so."

When Li Le heard that Zhang Juexia was going to give everyone a holiday for the Mid-Autumn Festival and give out benefits, his eyes widened. "Boss, are you sure you want to do this?"

"Of course, otherwise why would I look for you?"

Li Le thought for a moment and said, "Boss, we are much better than other shops even with just one day off.

How about not giving out this benefit?

Besides, you’ve been very kind to everyone, and everyone remembers it!"

"No, now that we've said it, we have to do it.

I have decided to send it out not only during the Mid-Autumn Festival, but also during the Chinese New Year.”

After hearing what Zhang Juexia said, Li Le suddenly felt warm in his heart, and all the doubts that had been weighing on his mind for the past few days disappeared in an instant.

"Boss, our shop, plus the shops and workshops in town, has quite a few employees.

If we had informed the shop about this in advance, they might have been able to prepare what we wanted.

Now, I’m afraid it’s a bit difficult to deal with.”

What Li Le said was indeed correct. Everything in the Great Zhou Dynasty was basically made by hand. No matter what it was, it took time to make.

"That's easy, let's just give out the money!

What do you think of the one ounce of silver that you, the shopkeeper, have and the remaining one hundred coins?"

Li Le looked at Zhang Juexia in disbelief, "Boss, what?"

Seeing that Li Le was about to express his loyalty again, Zhang Juexia quickly decided on this matter.

"Since you have no objection, let's do it this way.

I will write a letter now and ask your father and others to do the same."

Li Le sent Zhang Juexia away with red eyes. Zhang Juexia looked at him carefully and thought to himself, he is a good guy, but too emotional. He needs more experience.

Qin Eryong brought the people from the farm and delivered the newly harvested vegetables from their farm.

Zhang Juexia looked at the green vegetables in the basket and naturally admired Qin Eryong.

Qin Eryong chuckled, "Sister-in-law, these are for you. You can eat them first. I have to take them to the market to sell them."

He pointed to the baskets of vegetables on the oxcart and said, "Sister-in-law, I was thinking of asking those families first if they needed any. Is that possible?"

"Of course, whether it's the village or the farm, it's all mine!

But about this matter, have you asked Brother Beishan?

What I mean is, we should not be bothered by the affairs of those families."

Qin Eryong understood, "I haven't told Brother Beishan about this. I'll go to the market first and take a look. Maybe I can meet a new manager!"

When he was about to leave, Li Yiqin came out holding the child. Qin Eryong was very surprised when he saw her. "Sister-in-law, when did you get here?"

Li Yiqin naturally told the truth. She asked about Yulan's situation. Qin Eryong simply said, "Sister-in-law, when will you return to the village?"

"The day after tomorrow, Sister Xia asked me to stay here with her for a few days, but there are still a lot of things to do at home, so we will go back the day after tomorrow."

Qin Eryong nodded and went about his business.

After Qin Eryong left, Li Yiqin praised him again, "Juexia, it's a good thing you didn't listen to the gossip in the village and hired Eryong.

To be honest, if you send your elder brother to your new farm, I'm afraid he won't be able to handle it.

Even the work he does now was only done after Er Yong taught him step by step for a long time before he could be considered to have reluctantly taken over.

“Sister-in-law, everyone has strengths and weaknesses.

Big Brother is not bad, and Er Yong is also pretty good."

"You are good at comforting people."

"Then if I say something bad about big brother, big sister-in-law has to agree!"

"You..., the more you learn, the less serious you become. I'm here to talk to you about serious matters!"

Zhang Juexia blinked mischievously, "Sister-in-law, I'm talking about serious matters!"

The next day, Qin Eryong gave them a surprise. He brought Li Yulan with him. When two old acquaintances met, they naturally had endless things to talk about.

Seeing that everyone was happy, Qin Eryong was naturally happy in his heart, "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, Yulan, you guys chat first, I will be back after I finish my work."

Zhang Juexia reminded him, "Remember to come back early for lunch!"

"Got it, sister-in-law. You don't have to rely on the market to sell today. I talked to a few families yesterday. I'll take them back after delivering them.

At the beginning, I have to teach them step by step, and once they are familiar with it, I don’t have to follow them anymore.”

After Qin Eryong finished explaining, he hurried to work.

The three women put on a show, and there was constant laughter in the room.

Seeing that the atmosphere was almost set, Li Yulan took the opportunity to tell Zhang Juexia about the things happening in the manor, "Sister-in-law, your ten taels of silver for resettlement really attracted quite a few families to live in the manor.

Liu Dalong, whom Eryong met when he was selling soap, heard the news and went to the village with his family a few days later.

Eryong said that the people who built houses in our village were very happy.

I originally planned to leave after completing the two-month work, but now the house-building work is scheduled until this time next year."

Zhang Juexia was delighted when he heard this. "As long as there are people in the village, we won't be afraid of any difficulties."
