The village chief's voice was deep and loud, and suddenly it reached the ears of the villagers who were working hard.
They all stopped what they were doing, picked up the towels hanging around their necks to wipe away the sweat that was about to drip into their eyes, and squinted their eyes to look in the direction of the sound.
"An opportunity to make money? What opportunity to make money?"
"The person who shouted was the village chief, right?"
"I hear the village chief's voice on the radio every day, but you can't recognize it? But who are the two people holding children behind him?"
"It seems to be Xie Qingxiao's wife, and the other one is their aunt who came to help take care of the children!"
The villagers quickly gathered in groups of three or four to discuss the matter. Those who were quick to react immediately headed in the direction of the village chief and Lin Xiangyi. What are you talking about? You didn't hear about the opportunity to make money, did you?
Those who were slower to react saw someone passing by and hurriedly followed.
Lin Xiangyi and Aunt Zhao: "..."Will this be too much of a fuss? They will only need six or seven more people.
Seeing that more than ten people had gathered, Lin Xiangyi stepped forward with the child in her arms and said seriously, "It's like this. My workshop is in urgent need of seven or eight helpers. The wages are two yuan, and you can become a regular employee if you do a good job. Since we are in a hurry, I won't waste any more words. Anyone who wants to work in my workshop, just raise your hand!"
The villagers didn't expect that Lin Xiangyi was recruiting workers, and in such a sudden way. They all had confused expressions on their faces. It took them two seconds to react and they quickly started raising their hands.
The people who came later were confused and asked the reason... Almost all the people who came last raised their hands.
Lin Xiangyi picked them one by one, and picked seven: "It's you, did you understand what I just said? Now follow me!"
Aunt Zhao and the village chief immediately followed Lin Xiangyi. The seven people who were chosen were suddenly hit with the work. They were confused and happy. Seeing this, they hurriedly followed. After walking a few steps, they remembered that they had not yet taken the farm tools they used in the fields, so they turned around and called their relatives or neighbors to help get them back.
"Got it. Go ahead and do it. I'll dig the rest of the land by myself! Don't worry about it. Go and earn money and try to get a job!"
"Okay, okay, I'll help you get the shovel back later!"
…
The villagers who were not selected and whose relatives were not selected were very disappointed.
The villagers who were not selected but whose relatives were selected to work were particularly happy. They got a job out of nowhere. They would get a salary in the future and their family conditions would improve. What? You said you were just going to help? That doesn't matter. Even if you can't get a permanent job, the extra two yuan today is enough to make people happy!
No matter how you look at it, it’s not a loss!
Everyone turned around and went back to work, discussing:
"Why is the Xie family so anxious to recruit people?"
“It must be too busy.”
"Nonsense, if you're busy, would you be so anxious and careless?"
"They even bought a big truck, so their business must be good. I heard they recently negotiated a big order."
"My second aunt works at his house. I heard that their workshop has been very busy these days."
"Their two large trucks were out hauling goods. I don't know how many times they made the trips a day, but the rumbling sound never stopped."
...blah blah.
Everyone began to express their admiration for the Xie family's business skills. In less than a year, they had grown the business to such a large scale.
Then he felt regretful that Lin Xiangyi did not choose him.
The village chief's eldest daughter-in-law was also working here, so she naturally heard the village chief's howling just now. As usual, when she heard of an opportunity to make money, she would of course go for it.
But after she, Lu's mother and Xie Sanniang had a scene at the gate of Xie's house last time, the village chief and his wife separated from them, and she had no choice but to agree.
From then on, she hated the village chief and his wife. Of course, the cruelest one was Lin Xiangyi!
She didn't go over just now, and now when she heard everyone praising the Xie family, she felt very uncomfortable.
But there were still some people who were blind and saw her and deliberately said, "Daughter-in-law Dashuan, why didn't you go up just now? Lin Xiangyi came here just now to recruit workers. If you had gone over, the village chief was there, and you are the village chief's daughter-in-law, maybe Lin Xiangyi would have hired you for the sake of the village chief."
Mrs. He looked at him coldly and spat, "I want it?"
"Okay, you don't care. After all, your mother-in-law and your sister-in-law both work for the Xie family. Your father-in-law is the village chief and they all get paid. Even if you don't work in the fields, you can still eat and drink well. You definitely don't need to care about working for the Xie family!" The man said with a smile, seemingly feeling sorry for Mrs. He, but actually mocking herself secretly.
He Dasao: "..." She was so angry that she exploded. Ever since the couple separated from the village chief and his wife, the villagers who used to flatter her no longer greeted her and sometimes even mocked her like they did now...
It’s all Xie family’s fault!
It’s all because of Lin Xiangyi!
The more Mrs. He thought about it, the more angry she became. She didn't even want to work anymore and just dropped her shovel and left.
"Wife, we haven't finished our work yet, where are you going?" He Dashuan, who was panting and sweating profusely beside her, hurriedly called her.
"I quit!" Mrs. He said and left without looking back.
He Dashuan stared. There is so much work to do, and you just don't want to do it? Throw it all at him? He can't finish it even if he works himself to death! This damn woman!
He didn't want to do it, but if he didn't do it he would have no food to eat. He and He Dasao had several sons and daughters who were enough to bankrupt them, and they also had to support their studies. How could he afford to be lazy whenever he wanted?
He continued to hoe the ground with resentment.
They blamed Mrs. He. If she hadn't been so mean, they wouldn't have offended Lin Xiangyi. They blamed their parents. If they had been willing to say a word for them, they wouldn't have to separate and could have a job. Why would they have to work so hard farming?
Mrs. He was also full of complaints. She felt that if she didn't speak out, she would explode, so she came to the Lu family.
The Lu family went home to eat lunch at noon, rested for a while, and were preparing to go out to work again.
Seeing Mrs. He coming over, Mother Lu asked, "Caixia, why are you here? Why do you look so unhappy?"
"What else could it be?" Mrs. He said angrily, "It's all because of the Xie family!"
"The Xie family? What happened to them? Did they beat you up again? Let me take a look, let me see if you are badly injured?" Mother Lu became excited when she heard about the Xie family. She hurriedly grabbed Mrs. He and turned her around twice, hoping to see some wounds on Mrs. He. The heavier the wounds, the better!
"Auntie, why are you so happy? I wasn't beaten!" Sister He pulled Lu's hand away in frustration. What was wrong with Wang Juhua? She was actually hoping that she would be beaten?
What she didn't know was that Lu's mother had already determined that Lu Dingyuan was beaten by Xie Qingxiao, but she had not been able to bring Xie Qingxiao to justice because of a lack of evidence.
So she hoped that Mrs. He would also be beaten, as if in this way she could find evidence that Xie Qingxiao beat Lu Dingyuan.
