Chapter 284 A Woman with a Child is a Treasure
"Isn't it easy to do laundry, cook, and take care of children at home?" Shen Wan raised her eyebrows and looked at the drunkard with a mocking expression, "Can't a grown man like you do such an easy job?"
The drunkard's face turned pale.
"I... I'm a man!" He rolled his eyes and argued, "It has always been believed that men are responsible for the outside world and women are responsible for the home, so she must stay at home to take care of the children."
"How about this, I go for her?"
In the Wei Dynasty, women had a very low status.
It is for this reason that Shen Wan's small workshop mainly chooses women.
She knew her abilities were limited, but even if she could only help one woman, she would be satisfied.
"According to what you said, you can make a lot of money outside." Shen Wan did not answer his question, but just smiled contemptuously.
We are all from the same town, so we all know each other.
"He's lucky to earn a few hundred coins a month." Niu Dazhuang rolled his eyes and said with disdain, "Of those few hundred coins, he still has to spend a hundred on drinking."
"Add to that her wicked mother, and there's actually not much money left for her wife and children."
"It's not that I look down on him, but his child is four or five years old and he hasn't even eaten a piece of meat."
"It's the kid's bad luck to have such a jerk of a father!"
Seeing Niu Dazhuang poking his heart without any hesitation, the drunkard got angry.
"It's none of your business!" He jumped three feet high and started cursing at the top of his voice.
Niu Dazhuang is not a vegetarian either.
He is a bodyguard, who is he afraid of?
"What's wrong? I just want to take care of it. Do you have any objections?" He rolled up his sleeves, revealing his strong muscles.
When the drunkard saw that Niu Dazhuang was serious, he immediately wilted and was so scared that he didn't even dare to breathe.
Seeing him so cowardly, everyone couldn't help but look at him with contempt.
Shen Wan didn't bother to pay attention, and at the innkeeper's suggestion, she selected three more strong women.
Xie Mubai didn't want to get involved in such a trivial matter as recruiting workers.
But is the little woman sure that these people are here to make firecrackers, not to be guards?
Look at their strong bodies, they can probably steal Niu Dazhuang's job.
"Your wages are different from Niu Dazhuang's." She thought for a moment and said, "You are paid by piece. Those who are quick and efficient will earn more, and those who are slow will naturally earn less."
"Of course, you can try it for a while first. If you feel you are not suited to it, you can quit."
None of the women objected to this condition.
"I think it's good," said a very strong woman. "The more you work, the more you get. You can make a living based on your own ability. I like it."
After hearing this, the other women nodded quickly.
Seeing that they had no objection, Shen Wan smiled and said, "Since everyone agrees, the wages will be fixed."
"We'll have four days off every month, and there will be benefits during festivals and holidays, and a bonus at the end of the year."
"Of course, you can ask for leave if there is something going on at home."
With such good conditions, not only the women but even the men were tempted.
"You go and talk to this woman and let me go instead." The drunkard was not giving up and said to his wife in a commanding tone.
The drunkard's wife shook her head: "The workshop is mostly full of women, it's not convenient for you to go there."
Even if they were all men, she would never agree.
She wanted to make money and she didn't want to live that kind of life anymore.
"Okay, don't regret it!" The drunkard spat viciously and then turned and left.
The alcoholic wife regretted it a long time ago.
She regretted marrying this beast.
Seeing that the place was full, the men wanted to leave with disappointed looks on their faces.
"Don't leave!" the innkeeper said quickly, "This girl wants to build a few rooms in the backyard and replace the thatch on the roof with green tiles. We need to find some bricklayers."
Upon hearing this, the men's eyes lit up and they immediately rushed forward.
“I’m a bricklayer!”
"I can help with odd jobs!"
Shen Wan didn't know how good their skills were, so she asked the innkeeper to help her pick a few.
With the craftsmen and the materials ready, we started work after lunch.
Replacing the tiles was quick, but building the rear wing took a bit longer.
Ling Xiaoxiao was impatient and kept urging them like a little monster.
"There's no rush for this." Shen Wan smiled and pulled her aside. "You can't mess around with laying the foundation, otherwise how can the house be solid?"
Ling Xiaoxiao scratched her head: "So building a house is so troublesome."
"Miss, there is no such thing as a simple thing in this world?" Shen Wan couldn't help laughing after hearing this. "When you practiced the Zhong before, didn't you also do it step by step?"
Ling Xiaoxiao smiled slyly: "So, brother-in-law didn't fall in love with you at first sight, but also developed feelings for you gradually?"
"He's not, but I am."
"From the first time I saw you, I fell in love with you."
This girl, while talking, actually came forward and wanted to hug.
Shen Wan's face darkened and she pushed her away: "Go away, don't cause trouble for me here."
The big villain was helping move bricks nearby. If he saw it, there would definitely be another disturbance.
The construction of the wing room went smoothly.
Shen Wan used Qin Chu's name to "deliver" some explosives to herself.
After the house was dry, Madam He took a few women to start making firecrackers.
Most country women are very capable and can do a good job in just a few days.
"Can safety be guaranteed?" Shen Wan looked at Madam He.
Madam He smiled and said, "You can rest assured about this, young lady."
"When I used to make firecrackers at home, I would check them every morning and evening."
"This is not a trivial matter and must be handled with caution."
After hearing this, Shen Wan was relieved.
"Dasha, your wife is quite capable." The old lady saw this and pulled the innkeeper aside, saying mysteriously, "Listen to what mother said: women can't be too capable."
"Once she becomes powerful enough, she'll be able to ride on your head!"
The boss couldn't help but laugh and cry when he heard this: "Mom, you think too much, she has a man."
"That icy-faced man, they're a perfect match!"
He thought his mother was really brave, as she actually dared to drag him and that girl together.
Although his family is poor, he still has a mirror and he knows himself well.
"What did you say? They're having an affair?" The old lady was immediately annoyed when she heard it. "How can an uncle and nephew be together? Isn't this nonsense?"
"No, I'm going to talk to that girl!"
Before she finished speaking, she walked straight towards Shen Wan.
The boss was so frightened when he saw her that he quickly stopped her and said, "Mom, please don't cause any trouble for me, okay?"
"That won't do!" the old lady said angrily with a stern face, "Our daughter-in-law can't do this!"
Seeing that nothing he said made his point, the boss became anxious and sweated profusely.
When he looked up, he accidentally saw Madam He making firecrackers.
"Mom, actually the person I like is her!" He said immediately with a turn of his eyes.
Although Madam He was not as pretty as Shen Wan, she was also very pretty.
Especially when she lowered herself, she looked extremely delicate.
"You...you like taking care of children?" The old lady was so shocked when she heard this that she couldn't recover for a long time.
Seeing her reaction, the boss finally breathed a sigh of relief.
In his opinion, "breaking up a couple" is much cuter than forcing them to get married.
