Chapter 265 The Old Lady Comes to the Door
"Why, do you want to invite me too?"
"I do want to, but I wonder how much the wages will be?"
"Fifty cents a day, three meals included. If you want to treat me, I'll ask for your help. I just heard they have some brothers out there who are just looking for work."
"Really? That's great." The two brothers were immediately delighted. The price wasn't expensive. They didn't plan to clear too much wasteland, just enough for their own food.
The two still feel that doing business is more profitable, and they will definitely do business if they have the opportunity in the future.
According to their current speed of land reclamation, ten people a day would earn 500 coins, and it would take three days to clear 1,500 coins, which is almost six acres of wasteland, enough for their family to cultivate.
"Since you agree, I'll talk to their leader and ask him to bring a few brothers over tomorrow."
"Okay, I'll trouble you, Ari."
When Yue Fuli told Yue Yiyi about it, there was naturally no reason for him not to respond.
Now they are no longer soldiers and do not receive military pay. Even though Yue Fuli told them to follow her and she would give them monthly silver, they have not done anything yet and are embarrassed to take the money. It is better for them not to earn money themselves like they do now.
You will feel more comfortable spending your own money.
The next day, all of Yue Yi's brothers came over to help the Yue family open up the wasteland. When the others saw this, they were not only envious but also a little jealous.
Especially those who did not hide any money on them when their homes were searched, they also had a hard life here.
So, when Sanniang heard someone knocking on the door, she opened it and saw the old lady standing outside. She asked in confusion, "Auntie, is there something wrong?"
"My last name is Cui. I'm here to see your old lady. Is she here?"
"Yes, please come in first." Sanniang didn't think much about it and led Old Lady Cui in.
Old Lady Cui followed Sanniang and walked towards the backyard, looking at the newly built yard. Because the yard was newly built, there was nothing planted except a few trees.
But the old lady was still very jealous, because this yard was much better than the yard where they lived.
The old lady was helping with the laundry in the yard. When she saw Sanniang leading someone in, she casually asked, "Sanniang, who's here?"
"Sister He, it's me!" Before Sanniang could answer, Cui answered first.
The old lady heard the voice and thought it was familiar. She looked carefully and realized that it was the Cui she had met that day when she went out for some fresh air.
Since she was someone she knew, the old lady put down what she was doing and greeted her with a smile, "Sister Cui, why are you here?"
"I haven't seen you for two days, so I came to check on you. I thought you were sick, but I didn't expect you to be at home washing clothes."
"The children are busy, and I have nothing to do, so I will help them wash clothes." The old lady laughed and then instructed Sanniang, "Sanniang, this is my old sister. I will entertain her. You go and do your work."
"Okay, old lady." Sanniang nodded and turned around to do her own work.
After Sanniang left, Cui looked around the house and said to the old lady, "Sister He, why are you really working? Your family is not as poor as ours. I see that although your family has been exiled, their conditions are much better than other families. Why are you still working? If it were you, you should ask your family to buy a few servants."
