Chapter 224 She Really Didn’t Dare to Cause Trouble Again
In fact, the laborers doing manual labor in the county town only get about ten or twenty cents a day, and they don't even get food. There are people watching them while they work, and they are not allowed to stop or be lazy at all. Even so, many people still rush to do the work.
But of course Qiao Xuan couldn't be so harsh on her own family.
Physical work is very tiring, so of course the wages must be sufficient.
Shao Dalang and Shao Sanlang alone were not enough, so Qiao Xuan asked Shao Dalang to invite Shao Dali and his cousin to help.
This time, Qiao Xuan reminded him again and again: "If anyone asks, just say the daily wage is 20 cents. Don't let it slip!"
Twenty cents is a bit higher than the normal price, but that's fine. If it were sixty cents, who knows how many people in the village would be jealous.
Qiao Xuan just wanted to keep a low profile, but didn't want everyone's eyes to be on her, as that would easily expose her.
After all, who knows if Qiao Wei will go crazy again and do something else?
Shao Dalang readily agreed and went to talk to his two cousins Shao Dali.
The two cousins of Shao Dali were very happy and agreed immediately, and they even swore not to tell anyone.
Sixty cents a day! They had never done anything that paid so much! If they bought slightly inferior rice, they could buy more than ten kilograms with a day's wages.
And the Shao family also provides lunch.
Qiao Xuan took Shao Taotao, Shao Xiaoqi, Xu and Yang Xiaoni to continue making lipstick in the flower field.
Don't be in a hurry to find the mushroom strains. It's not too late to find them once all the materials are ready.
Qiao Xuan felt that the range that her supernatural power could detect had expanded to about several hundred meters in radius. As long as there were mushrooms and white fungus in the mountains, it would not be difficult to find them.
Shiitake mushrooms and black fungus are definitely there, and as for white fungus, you should be able to find it if you look carefully.
Shao Yunduan was going into the city that day, and Qiao Xuan asked him to buy some meat and a few live ducks and chickens.
Meat is not easy to keep in summer, so you can keep live chickens and ducks and kill them whenever you want to eat them.
Although we have about 30 chickens of different sizes at home, we are reluctant to kill them because they lay eggs. The ducks we have at home are not yet grown up.
The fish in the big tank had almost finished eating, so that afternoon, Qiao Xuan, Shao Taotao and Shao Xiaoqi made an appointment to go fishing and shrimping, and simply took a half-day break.
She still generously paid them per day.
Yang Xiaoni had nothing to do, so she followed Qiao Xuan and the others to the river.
Qiao Xuan thought about it and decided to call Liu Yan over to help carry the bamboo baskets and buckets.
Even though Liu Yan has become an honest and obedient person now, Qiao Xuan still cannot trust her, so she has never let Liu Yan step into the garden behind the yard, nor has she ever let her go to the flower field.
She planted fruit trees and medicinal herbs in the garden and made lipstick in the flower fields, and the whole family kept it a secret and never said a word in front of Liu Yan.
Liu Yan also knew that the eldest wife of the Shao family had a secret, or rather, the second young lady had a secret. If she had just arrived, she might have asked about it, but now, she didn't have the courage to do so.
She could only pretend she knew nothing.
The Second Young Lady is holding her in her power now, so she just hopes to be obedient and get through these days honestly, and then return to the Qiao Mansion smoothly.
She really didn't dare to cause any more trouble.
She was wrong. The eldest lady, the mistress, and the master were all wrong. The second lady was not timid or cowardly. On the contrary, she was bold and smart. She didn't dare to play any tricks in front of her!
Otherwise, she doesn't have to do anything else but throw herself to the second branch of the Shao family, and she will suffer a fate worse than death!
