"Okay, Auntie, where do you live? I'll come to see you in a couple of days.
"But let's be frank. If you can't raise her well, I won't do it."
When Mrs. Guo heard that it would take another two days, her heart suddenly sank.
But on second thought, whether these chickens and ducks are raised for food or for laying eggs, it is a long-term job.
If I can continue this, I will have income every day in the future.
Thinking of this, she asked, "I wonder what I need to do, and what about the salary..."
"I don't know what raising chickens and ducks entails, so you can figure it out yourself. I'll give you thirty coins a day, and you just need to take care of the chickens and ducks. When you're free, you can go home and do whatever you want. How's that?"
Old Mrs. Guo thought to herself, this job can be done!
Although chickens and ducks need to be fed several times a day when they are young, they only need to be fed twice a day when they grow up.
In this way, I don't have to spend much time every day and can earn thirty cents. I still have time to find some odd jobs like helping people wash clothes.
In this way, you can earn at least fifty or sixty cents a day.
Thinking of this, Guo nodded immediately and said, "Okay, little brother, don't worry, I am especially good at raising chickens, ducks, geese, dogs and other animals.
"When I was in my hometown, I would hatch chicks and ducklings every year and sell them for money.
“People from all over the country come to me to buy it!
"I'm not bragging, but the chicks and ducklings my family sells are easier to raise than those sold by others.
"We raise the leftovers at home. The hens can lay eggs that year, and the roosters are good for eating meat during the Mid-Autumn Festival."
Meng Yu listened to her talk and nodded, saying, "Okay, I have guests coming to my house these days. After they leave, I'll take you over to introduce you to the area."
He was quite cautious about this place and planned to wait until Boss Ye and his family left before letting Old Lady Guo go over.
But he couldn't let Qingtian see that he actually paid people to raise chickens and ducks, otherwise it would really damage his image as a man of his word in Qingtian's mind.
Before leaving, seeing the worried look on Old Lady Guo's face, Meng Yu's heart softened. He took out a small string of copper coins and handed it to her, saying, "Here, I'll give you a day's wages as a deposit. If I don't keep my word, you won't be at a disadvantage. Do you believe me now?"
Old Mrs. Guo reached out to take the copper coin doubtfully, and found that Meng Yu really gave her the money and was not fooling her. She immediately smiled happily, quickly put the money in her arms, and thanked him repeatedly.
"Thank you, young man. I live in the fourth courtyard on the left as you enter this alley. My last name is Guo. If you need me to do anything, just come and see me."
"Okay, I'll remember that." Meng Yu said and turned to leave.
After watching him walk away, Mrs. Guo took out the copper coins from her bosom again, counted them over and over again, and confirmed that there were indeed thirty cents.
Now that I finally have money to buy the necessary things for cooking, I can cook for myself in the evening.
Otherwise, the whole family can't get together to eat raw corn kernels.
Seeing Mrs. Guo carrying a small pot with dishes and chopsticks in it into the house, Guo Shijie hurriedly asked, "Mom, have you found a job?"
"That's right, Mom is so lucky today." Old Mrs. Guo fetched a bucket of water and told her son happily about what had just happened while washing the pots and dishes.
Guo Shijie frowned slightly when he heard this, thinking that his mother was too gullible.
Nowadays, who would pay before doing any work?
Could he be a liar?
Thinking of this, he immediately said worriedly: "Mom, could that man be a liar?
"Next time he comes to see you, don't just follow him.
"At least let Daddy go with you for the first time to make sure it's not a scam, so as to avoid any danger."
Mrs. Guo smiled when she heard this.
She turned the washed pots and bowls upside down to drain the water, and temporarily placed them on the kang table, the only place in the room where things could be placed.
"Silly son, I am already so old. I am neither a strong laborer nor a young girl, nor a child who is still young. Who would kidnap and deceive me?
"They tricked me into working but I couldn't do anything, and they tricked me into selling things but I couldn't even sell them, and they still had to provide me with food and lodging.
"Scammers are all very clever, they're not fools. Who would do such a loss-making business?"
When Guo Shijie heard this, it seemed to be true.
"We'll talk about it later. If your father is free that day, ask him to accompany me to take a look so that you can rest assured. Okay?"
"OK!"
Before the mother and daughter finished their words, heavy and familiar footsteps were heard outside the door.
Old Mrs. Guo hurried over to open the door, and sure enough, it was Old Man Guo who had returned.
His head, face, and body were all covered in dust, but even that couldn't hide the fatigue on his face.
Old man Guo's legs were so tired that he could not lift them up, and he almost dragged himself into the house step by step.
Old Mrs. Guo quickly reached out and helped him sit down on the kang.
"What kind of work did you do to make you so tired?"
The two children at home were quite obedient. One of them quickly poured a bowl of water and brought it over.
"Grandpa, drink some water."
Seeing that the job of pouring water had been snatched away, the other one went to wring out a piece of cloth, brought it over and said, "Grandpa, wipe your face."
"Okay, okay, be good!" Old man Guo smiled with satisfaction as he looked at his two grandsons.
Although my daughter was spoiled by her husband, fortunately my son is sensible and has taught his two grandsons to be very sensible.
Ever since he learned about his daughter's situation, Mr. Guo has made up his mind that he will never let his wife interfere in matters concerning the child's education.
