Chapter 57: Water Supply to Households
Ma and Niu said things that were embarrassing for the villagers to say, and everyone laughed and joined in the jokes.
Fang was secretly annoyed, and laughed lightly, saying, "Second sister-in-law and third sister-in-law, don't worry about us. This spring was discovered two days ago. Look, it's been several days, and it's still fine!"
Ma snorted and said angrily, "I'm just giving you a kind reminder because I'm afraid your sister-in-law might act impulsively."
Fang smiled wryly: "Oh, then thank you very much!"
Ma: “.”
No matter what others think or what you hope for in your heart, this spring water is always good.
By the evening, the task was completed.
The clear spring water slowly flows out through the dark passage paved with blue bricks and pours into the pool behind the courtyard. The pool gradually fills up to a certain level and then flows out through the outlet of the dark passage.
The flowing water quickly washed away all the mud and sand, leaving the pool of water clean and clear.
In order to prevent dirt from falling into the water, the two pools in the garden and the backyard were built three bricks above the ground and were square in shape, which made them clean and easy to use.
The whole family gathered around the pool and were so happy!
After dinner, everyone was doing their own things when Second Uncle Shao and Third Uncle Shao came in together, both of them looked unhappy.
The fact that Qiao Xuan hired three people from the village to help clean up the land was eventually let slip and somehow reached the ears of Second Uncle Shao and Third Uncle Shao. Both of them felt uncomfortable, and what made them even more depressed was that the eldest son actually dug up a spring on that piece of waste land. So this happened.
"Brother, you don't consider us as family anymore. Twenty cents a day, twenty cents a day. You'd rather give it to others than to us!"
"That's right! This is so unkind and disheartening!"
"They kept it a secret from us on purpose. If Shao Dali hadn't let it slip, we would still be in the dark!"
"Ah, what are you talking about, my family?"
"This..." Uncle Shao was a little confused, and hurriedly said with a smile: "Second brother, third brother, calm down, you didn't make a mistake, did you? This, this is just that Dali and his family didn't have much time to come over to help. It's true that they provide lunch, but they didn't say they would pay for their work. In the future, if there is any work in their family, Dalang and Sanlang will also help to pay it back."
Uncle Shao was angry: "Brother, you are still lying to us!"
"that is!"
Uncle Shao: “.”
"No." Uncle Shao hurriedly called Shao Yunduan and Qiao Xuan over and asked about this.
Shao Yunduan pondered for a moment, glanced at Qiao Xuan quickly and said, "Originally, we didn't talk about wages, but later we felt that the work was a bit too much and too hard, and Qiao felt bad about it, so we paid the wages."
Second Uncle Shao and Third Uncle Shao looked at Uncle Shao, their faces full of the expression "Look! Look! Are we right?"
"In that case, ask your second and fourth brothers to go as well tomorrow. Don't let them be paid less."
Shao Liulang is the only child in the third house, and he is currently studying in the academy in the county town. Uncle Shao said, "I'll go too."
Qiao Xuan smiled and said, "Second cousin, fourth cousin and third uncle are really going to help? That's great! But, second uncle, third uncle, we are a family, do family members also have to get paid? This, this is not appropriate..."
"That's right," Shao Sanlang couldn't help but muttered, "We brothers have done so much work for our second and third uncles all year round, but we've never seen our second and third uncles say anything about paying us wages, and they don't even provide us with food."
