Chapter 158: Do It or Not
Jiang Hong felt that the person in his arms had become quieter. A smile crossed his lips. He hugged her tightly and slowly closed his eyes.
Li Yiyi was quiet for a while, and soon she heard a man's shallow breathing coming from above her head.
For some reason, she felt a lot more at ease after hearing this voice. Soon, sleepiness came over her, and after a while, she fell asleep and played chess with Zhou Gong.
When she woke up, it was already more than an hour later. The first thing she looked to the side when she woke up was that there was no one next to her. The place next to her was already empty.
Just as she was about to close her eyes for a while, she suddenly heard someone talking outside.
She listened with her ears perked up for a while. After a while, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. All sleepiness disappeared. She quickly got out of bed, put on a coat and went out.
In the yard, Jia Chunhua was sitting there chatting with four or five military wives.
"I'm telling you, you have to work hard. Sister Li is willing to take us to work and make money this time because she has good intentions. We can't take advantage of her kindness. If any of you dares to cheat, I, Jia Chunhua, will be the first to disapprove." Jia Chunhua warned the five military wives in front of her.
"Don't worry, Sister Chunhua, we are not ungrateful people. If we can really make money, we will work hard and never be lazy." The speaker was a young wife who looked about the same age as Li Yiyi. She had two dimples on her cheeks when she smiled.
This was the scene Li Yiyi saw when she walked out of the room.
"Sister-in-law." Since she didn't know those five people, Li Yiyi called out to Jia Chunhua first.
When Jia Chunhua heard her shout, she immediately stopped talking to the five people in front of her, turned around, stood up with a happy face and walked over, "Sister-in-law Li, you're awake, didn't we wake you up?"
Li Yiyi smiled and waved her hands, "No, I woke up by myself. Sister-in-law, did you pick these people?"
Jia Chunhua immediately straightened her back and introduced them to her, "That's right, Sister Li, take a look at these five military wives. They are all from our family compound. I have met them before, and they are all very capable."
Li Yiyi glanced at the five nervous people and said to her with a relieved look, "Sister-in-law, of course I trust you to do the job. Since you think it's okay, then it's up to them."
As soon as she said this, the five military wives sitting there secretly breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts.
Li Yiyi walked up to them and said with a smile, "Hello, sisters-in-law. My name is Li Yiyi and my husband is Jiang Hong. I don't know if you know him, but it doesn't matter if you don't know him. What we are going to do this time has nothing to do with him." As soon as she finished speaking, the five people who were originally nervous were immediately amused.
When Li Yiyi heard their laughter, the corners of her mouth rose. As long as the atmosphere was good, it would be fine. She was so nervous just now that she was also a little nervous.
Soon, she continued, "It's like this. I plan to build a small herbal medicine processing factory first. All you have to do is go to the mountains to collect herbs every day, and give them to me after you bring them back. I will make the medicine, and when the medicine is ready, I will be responsible for selling it."
As soon as she finished speaking, one of the military wives raised her hand and blushed and stammered, "That wife of Captain Jiang, we don't know any herbs."
When the other four heard this, they realized that they didn't know anything about herbs. At the same time, they became afraid. If they didn't know herbs, people might not want them to do this job anymore.
Seeing that the five of them were getting anxious and couldn't sit still again, Li Yiyi quickly said, "Don't be afraid, everyone. I have some preparations here." As she spoke, she took out the three paintings she had just brought out.
"These three paintings show the herbs we are going to collect this time. All you have to do is collect them according to the pictures," she said.
When Jia Chunhua heard this, she hurried over to look at the picture together.
The six people passed it around and looked at it for a long time before they all breathed a sigh of relief.
Jia Chunhua, who had already recognized the three herbs, happily told Li Yiyi, "Sister-in-law Li, you are amazing. You actually thought of this idea. Now that we have your map, we all remember the herbs we need to pick. There is no problem at all."
"Yes, I just realized now that the wild grass we usually see when we go to the mountains to pick wild grass are actually medicinal herbs. I often see the three kinds of medicinal herbs in this picture, and I can recognize them." Liu Cailan, who had two dimples on her smile, said happily.
Li Yiyi was happy for them when she saw that they were no longer worried. She continued, "There is one more thing. The organization only gave written support but did not allocate any money. So we have to pay for the expenses ourselves. I plan to pay the wages after the herbs are sold. Do you have any objections?"
The people who were originally talking and laughing suddenly became quiet, and some of them immediately showed hesitation on their faces.
"What if they don't sell? Then we won't get paid, and all this work will be in vain," one of the military wives said a little worriedly.
When Jia Chunhua saw that one or two people looked unhappy, she felt a little uncomfortable. After all, these people were carefully selected by her for Li Dimei. Li Dimei asked her to take charge of this matter, which showed that she trusted her judgment of people. As a result, these people started to make trouble before it even started.
"Gu Meiying, what do you mean by this? Are you afraid that Sister Li won't give you money?" She immediately asked loudly to the military wife who had just spoken.
Gu Meiying said with difficulty, "That's not what I meant. Aren't we all working to make money? But I just heard what Captain Jiang's wife said. It's not certain whether we will get paid or not. If we don't get paid, then our work will be in vain."
Upon hearing this, Jia Chunhua gritted her teeth in anger. Just as she was about to retort, her arm was suddenly grabbed by Li Di's wife behind her.
Li Yiyi knew her good intentions, so when she looked over anxiously, she smiled at her and comforted her.
Li Yiyi looked at the five of them and said, "I won't force you. It's up to you to choose. I just told everyone what I should say in advance. As for what decision to make, I respect your opinions."
Gu Meiying bit her lip and said to Li Yiyi with an apologetic look, "Captain Jiang's wife, I'm sorry, I still won't join your side. I can't work for a month in vain. You should look for someone else." After saying this, she immediately stood up and left.
Jia Chunhua took a deep breath in anger, hating herself for not being able to see clearly.
