No Letting My Daughter Sit at the Table? Fine, Then No One Will Eat!

As Shuiqing opened her eyes, she saw the dilapidated room, half a piece of darkened bread, and five children with malnutrition, their faces full of concern. Eldest sister-in-law sneered, “It’s ...

Chapter 232 The People Who Went Out Have Returned to the Village (2/2)

"Does it include meals during the work period?"

Aunt Ding is too generous!

You should know that even when working in the prefectural city, a strong young man could only earn twenty or thirty coins a day. Only by carrying heavy loads and unloading goods could he earn forty coins a day. However, carrying heavy loads and unloading goods was not enough; one also needed to be strong!

Nowadays, building a wall is only a bit tiring, like making adobe bricks. It's nothing compared to carrying heavy sacks and unloading goods. Women can do it too, and Aunt Ding actually pays them thirty coins a day.

Aunt Zhang swallowed hard. Thirty coins a day? This Aunt Ding is so wasteful. It would be so much more cost-effective to hire a man with that money. Why hire several women?

No matter how strong a woman is, she can never match a man.

She really wanted to go back inside and call her husband to come and earn the thirty coins, but she was afraid he wouldn't agree. After all, he hadn't even considered her going out for a hundred coins a day before.

The thought that she earned 100 coins a day but didn't earn any herself made her feel like she was losing out.

Sun Jinhua was even more anxious. Thirty coins a day, that's one hundred and fifty coins a day for five people!

How could the Ding family be so wasteful! It feels like cutting off a piece of her flesh.

She shouted hoarsely at Qin Yilin, "No, no, that's not how you spend money!"

Qin Yilin frowned. Did she really need an outsider to teach her how to spend her money?

Fan Sanzhu also felt sorry for her and wanted to make a good impression on his future mother-in-law, so he hardened his heart and said, "Aunt Ding, you don't need to hire anyone. I'll come and help you after I finish building my own!"

You can save money, and Jiajia won't need to do tiring work.

Qin Yilin: .....She has the money to hire people, so Jiajia doesn't need to work hard!

Why wait when you can get things done with just over a hundred coins a day, totaling a little over a thousand coins?

"No need, I think it's a good deal. You should take care of your own families first."

Sun Jinhua's heart was bleeding; why was the Ding family so stubborn?

She doesn't appreciate kindness. Her son offered to help, but she didn't know to accept it. What a pig-brain!

Qin Yilin didn't even glance at the two families, and directly addressed the five women she had brought, saying, "Let's begin."

Li Dani, Wang Qiuyue, and Zheng Yan were all excellent workers on the farm. Since arriving, they have been eating and sleeping well every day, and they are even stronger than when they were on the farm.

People feel energetic when they are full; they feel like they have inexhaustible strength.

Once they got to the ground, they chopped down the trees in two or three strokes and cleared the weeds with a single sickle. The five men worked incredibly efficiently, cleaning up the area that the Ding family was responsible for in just one morning.

The villagers were amazed!

The people from the village are even better at manual labor than them! If they were both sold into slavery, they probably wouldn't be able to compete with them...

He then shook his head violently, trying to clear his mind of the bad thoughts. What was he thinking? How could he possibly think of selling himself into slavery!

It must have been influenced by Fan Damu.

The Fan and Zhang families originally wanted to go back to their houses to rest, but seeing that the five women hired by Qin Yilin were still working, they could only grit their teeth and persevere.

They couldn't possibly be outdone by those women.

It's just so hot and the work is so tiring, maybe I should just give up and keep competing...

"Come quick, everyone! The villagers who went out have returned!"
