Chapter 1132: This Look, Wow
Shao Sanlang and his men would come over from time to time. Fang was not a fool. The most important thing was that Shao Yunduan was an official now, so the tenants and farmers would not dare to act recklessly no matter how bold they were.
Ding Erzhu's family was surprised and happy to see Qiao Xuan coming. They thought Shao Yunduan had come as well, and kept looking behind Qiao Xuan, making Qiao Xuan and the others laugh.
Their family has settled down here completely. They have always been grateful to Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan, and have always been very attentive to the matters they have entrusted to them.
Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan paid generous wages, and the family had saved up some money over the past two years. Although they couldn't buy paddy fields yet, they bought 30 acres of dry land and planted peanuts, beans, corn and other grains, planted some fruit trees on the edges, and raised a hundred chickens to sell eggs. At least they had some property and were not worried. It was much better than when they were still in the village.
Not to mention them, even Old Mrs. Zhou felt very satisfied here. She would remind them from time to time to do their work well and not do anything sneaky.
Otherwise, if I lose this job, I will regret it then!
Ding Erzhu and Zhou always agreed with a smile. Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan had done them a favor, and they were not ungrateful people.
As for how much money Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan made, given their abilities at that time, how could we dare to be jealous or have any ulterior motives?
Besides, although they are no longer here, the Shao family’s main branch is still there!
Truth cannot be hidden, and Zhangjia Village is not far from Shaoding Village. The fact that Ding Erzhu and his wife lived here with their children was eventually known to Ding Wuye's family.
When she heard that her son and daughter-in-law, who had been kicked out of the house, were working for others, Grandma Ding Wu was disdainful and mocked them, saying that after leaving their home, they would have to work as laborers to earn a living, and who knows how miserable their lives would be now.
Later I heard exaggerated descriptions from others that they were working for Shao Zhuangyuan's farm, and they lived a very comfortable life. They built a large blue brick house with a large yard. The couple's combined monthly wages were five taels of silver. They also bought land and raised a hundred or so chickens. They made a lot of money just from selling eggs.
The family now wore fine gauze clothes, had meat for every meal, and gave Zhou's family a lot of money to spend. Zhou's mother and her two grandchildren lived with them for many years and ate for free.
Uncle Ding Wu and his wife didn't believe that a loser like the second brother who couldn't even fart even after three blows and a coward like Zhou who cried all day could have such luck? What a joke!
But they finally listened to these words, and they were skeptical and couldn't help but run to Zhangjia Village to take a look.
This time, what a great trip!
Grandma Ding Wu's eyes were almost blazing with anger. She yelled and cursed Ding Erzhu and Zhou for being unfilial and deserved to be struck by lightning. They secretly enjoyed themselves without caring about the lives of their parents and brothers. She also scolded Zhou for being shameless and using Ding's things to support her mother's family. She wanted to divorce her.
Aunt Zhou was not someone to be trifled with, so she quickly called on the tenants and farm households to help keep an eye on the people, and would not allow Grandma Ding Wu and the others to take even a needle.
Facing the villagers of Zhangjia Village who were watching the excitement, pointing and talking, Aunt Zhou put her hands on her hips and scolded the Ding family.
Although the Zhou family does not love their daughter as deeply as the Yan family does, they are definitely not cold-hearted.
