Qin Zheng felt upset when he was suddenly confronted by his son.
But he felt more sorry for his wife.
Jingrou suffered a lot following him.
He secretly swore in his heart that he would never let her suffer again for the rest of his life.
Qin Ling's words reminded him of one thing: Qin Futian and his wife bullied Jingrou, and he must get back at them double.
Qin Zheng walked out of the rice field barefoot without saying a word.
Qin Li thought he was going to be lazy and hurriedly called him: "Dad, aren't you going to work?"
Qin Zheng kept walking and waved his hands with his back to him: "I'm done, and you don't have to do it anymore. Come up!"
Qin Li blinked, confused.
"Second brother, did you make our dad run away?"
Qin Ling sneered coldly.
"If he doesn't want to do it, then neither will we. Xiao Li, let's go!"
After saying that, he pulled Qin Li to the end of the field, but his eyes kept following Qin Zheng, wanting to see what he was going to do.
That man... wouldn't he really be so stupid as to not work in the fields?!
"Huh? Why did Dad stop at Grandpa and Grandma's field?" Qin Li used his not-so-bright brain and was so surprised that he almost cried out, "Is he going to help Grandpa and Grandma with their work?"
Qin Ling: "Xiao Li, remember, don't call those two old people 'grandpa and grandma'. They don't deserve it."
His eyes were as cold as his voice, fixed on Qin Zheng.
If he has already heard about Qin Futian and his wife bullying his mother, and he still wants to help the old couple with work, then he is not worthy of being their father!
Qin Futian's land is next to the village chief's land.
Qin Zheng kept his trouser legs rolled up at his knees and went straight to the village chief's rice field and handed Li Cunsheng a cigarette.
"Brother Cunsheng, I want to ask you something. If we hire someone to plant rice here, how much money would be appropriate per day?" He spoke loudly on purpose, and his voice just reached the ears of the old couple.
Liu Fengying paused in pulling up the seedlings and immediately pricked up her ears to listen.
Li Cunsheng was surprised: "You want to hire someone to do the work?"
"I really don't know about that." He lit a cigarette with Qin Zheng's help and took a puff. "I haven't heard of anyone in our area hiring people to farm the land."
In the past, there were production teams where everyone worked together to earn work points.
The distribution of farmland to households has only happened in recent years.
Huaihua Village didn't have much land in total, with each person allocated between two mu and half an mu. For the villagers, who were used to working in the fields, this amount of land wasn't even enough for them to manage on their own, so why would they need to hire someone to farm?!
Moreover, the land in the village is barren and the annual grain harvest is limited, so it is definitely not cost-effective to spend money to hire people.
Apart from the economic reasons, hiring people to do work will make people think of the former landlords, which is a very sensitive matter.
While smoking, Li Cunsheng persuaded Qin Zheng to work harder and farm the land himself.
Qin Zheng laughed heartily: "I'm just lazy! Brother Cunsheng, do you think it's appropriate for me to pay someone ten yuan a day to do the work?"
Li Cunsheng paused smoking.
As a brother who had grown up playing together, he knew very well what expression Qin Zheng had when he wanted to do something bad. Seeing his smile at this moment, he immediately realized that something was wrong.
And, he's lazy?
He works like an ox, how can he be lazy?!
Li Cunsheng knew what Qin Zheng was going to do.
"Haha, ten yuan is quite a lot. Farmers like us can barely make ten yuan a month!" Li Cunsheng said, raising his voice in tacit agreement. "If you really have too much money and don't know where to spend it, I'll go and call for you. I guarantee a group of people will come to work in your fields right away."
"How many people do you want? Do you have any requirements for the people who do the work?" Li Cunsheng asked deliberately.
Qin Zheng understood: "We need six people."
"As for the requirements... I don't have any requirements. As long as they are from our village, it's fine."
After explaining everything to Li Cunsheng, Qin Zheng went back to his own land.
Before leaving, he glanced coldly at Qin Futian and Liu Fengying. Seeing their faces flushed with excitement, he knew that they had taken the bait.
Sure enough, as soon as Qin Zheng left, Liu Fengying found the village chief and asked him not to look for anyone, as they were willing to help Qin Zheng with the work.
Li Cunsheng raised his eyebrows: "You guys?"
"Have you forgotten that Qin Zheng severed ties with you?"
Liu Fengying wanted to say, "Severing ties is severing ties, making money is making money, there's no conflict," but the words turned into, "He's my son, even if we break bones, we're still connected. Can't we take this opportunity to ease our relationship?"
Li Cunsheng showed an embarrassment: "I don't know if Qin Zheng will want you. Besides, he wants six people, and you only have two."
"There are six of us!" Liu Fengying said hurriedly.
The six people she mentioned included Fu Hongmei and the second brother's family of three, exactly six people.
She called the whole family to the field and whispered to them that they could earn five dollars each by working in Qin Zheng's field.
Zhou Cuifen was skeptical: "Mom, can Qin Zheng really give us money?"
She hadn't eaten meat for days, and five yuan could buy several kilograms of meat. She had no suspicion that her mother-in-law had withheld her salary.
Ever since Zhou Hongbing was imprisoned, Zhou Cuifen has lost her support and no longer dares to disobey her parents-in-law.
Liu Fengying's family status rose sharply.
Liu Fengying glared at him and said, "It's up to you whether you want to do it or not. Whoever makes the money gets it!"
Zhou Cuifen wisely shut up and watched her mother-in-law walk towards Qin Zheng's rice field.
After a while, they saw the mother-in-law waving at them.
Zhou Cuifen: "Did it work?"
Qin Yaozu: "Let's go. The three of us can earn 15 yuan a day. Let's save more money and find a way to build a house."
Without his tractor, Qin Feng was like a puppet without a soul. He became lifeless and muttered, "Can you build a building?"
