Three hundred yuan is a lot of money.
You know, it's only a job for three to five days.
He used to work for someone else for a month and only earned twenty or thirty yuan.
Of course, this job is much more troublesome than the previous one, but there are still days to go.
Lin Chuan readily agreed, "Okay."
Wang Bin genuinely liked Lin Chuan's straightforward personality. "No wonder Lao Tang treats you like a brother. Lin Chuan, you're such a straightforward person."
You see, if Lin Chuan bargains and wants more, he'll have to raise the price. After all, he has no other choice right now.
Three hundred yuan was indeed a lot, but Wang Bin was still surprised that Lin Chuan agreed so readily. This kind of person was truly trustworthy.
"Lin Chuan, would you like to work in my factory? With your skills, I can offer you a high salary."
Lin Chuan paused, holding his bowl and chopsticks. "I haven't thought about that yet. Director Wang, my wife is waiting for me at home. It's not good for me to go out and work by myself. I'd like to stay home first and think about it later when things are more stable."
Wang Bin felt a little regretful; it would be great if a craftsman like Lin Chuan could come to him.
"That's true, it depends on your own family's situation. But Lin Chuan, you're always welcome to come whenever you want."
"Thank you, Director Wang," Lin Chuan said politely.
"Stop calling me Director Wang. You saved this batch of orders for me. I'm about the same age as Lao Tang. Call me brother, and I'll treat you like a younger brother."
"Okay, Brother Bin."
In the following days, Lin Chuan devoted himself to his work.
They stayed at Wang Bin's house and ate food that Wang Bin had prepared in advance.
In four days, all thirty sets of modular cabinets were remodeled, and the patterns on them were lifelike.
Lin Chuan, clutching the three hundred yuan he had earned, prepared to go home.
Before going back, he also carved a wooden gun and a wooden airplane for Tang Xuezhen's son.
He also carved a pair of little ducks and a pair of little rabbits for Tang Xuezhen's daughter.
Then he went to the department store and bought some things to take back with him.
Tang Xuezhen took Lin Chuan to the bus station and slipped him an envelope.
Lin Chuan pushed it back, "Brother, I charged you thirty yuan for those two puppies before, I can't take more than that."
Tang Xuezhen said, "Dachuan, my life isn't worth only thirty yuan. There's not much here, but some usable coupons. Actually, this isn't to repay you; it's a small token of our appreciation for your sister-in-law's childbirth."
Since Tang Xuezhen had said so, Lin Chuan accepted the gifts.
There's no need to be so particular about reciprocal gift-giving.
"By the way, Da Chuan, since you're not doing carpentry anymore, what are your plans after you go back?"
Lin Chuan didn't hide anything from Tang Xuezhen, "I want to set up my own stall to sell noodles and braised meat. Now is the perfect time to start my own business."
“That’s not bad.” Tang Xuezhen thought for a moment. “But you sell noodles and meat, you probably don’t have that many vouchers. You just submit the materials and complete the procedures normally, and I’ll call Wangshan County so you can set up your stall faster.”
Lin Chuan didn't stand on ceremony, "Thank you, brother."
Tang Xuezhen laughed and said, "I can't help much. You still have to pay what you need to pay. Don't worry about it."
With money in his pocket and his belongings, Lin Chuan boarded the bus back to Wangshan County.
He calculated the time: the bus would arrive in Wangshan County at 10:00 AM, and he would arrive around 1:00 PM. If he walked back, he would get home around 2:30 PM.
Just like when we arrived, the car bumped along the way.
While Lin Chuan was on his way home, Wu Chunhua was thinking about going to Changling Village.
Lin Xinglong had finally found a partner, and she didn't want the relationship to fall through like this.
However, she doesn't want to touch the money she had saved up at home, and she doesn't want her in-laws to know that she still has money saved up.
Besides, we can't just sit around and do nothing, there are so many mouths to feed in the family.
If Daya can fetch a good price, then Lin Xinglong won't have to worry about finding a wife.
Wu Chunhua had been thinking about this for a long time, and in fact, she had already inquired about the people involved.
Taking advantage of Lin Chuan's absence, she could conveniently take Daya out.
For lunch, the whole family ate wild vegetable porridge, steamed potatoes, and pickled vegetables.
These days, I've been eating like this every day, and it's making my stomach ache and I feel like throwing up.
Lin Youfu rubbed his stomach. "Damn it, can't we eat something different? We can't keep eating this all the time."
Wu Chunhua said irritably, "You're all just waiting to eat, eat, eat. Do you have money? If you don't have money, what are you eating for!"
Lin Youfu hesitated for a long time before saying, "Once the harvest is sold, we'll have money."
Hearing this, Wu Chunhua became even angrier and shouted towards the east room, "Harvest, harvest! Everyone's sitting on the kang (heated brick bed), so how come the crops in the fields grow legs and harvest themselves?"
Zhou Xiuying and Lin Fugui were sitting on the kang (a heated brick bed), neither of them having done any work for many years.
In the eldest son's family, there was no need for them to go to the fields to work.
Lin Youfu pulled Wu Chunhua aside, "Keep your voice down. How old are your parents? Can they still work in the fields?"
“Old Jin is eighty years old and he still works. Why can’t they work? They want to eat if they don’t work. What a load of crap!” Wu Chunhua’s voice didn’t quiet down at all.
Lin Youfu didn't know what to do either, torn between his parents and his wife.
He didn't want his wife to argue with his parents, nor was he happy that his parents only ate and didn't work or give him money, but he also didn't want to be gossiped about and kicked out.
In short, Lin Youfu felt that he was in a very difficult situation, caught in the middle.
Zhou Xiuying and Lin Fugui came out of the house.
