The Song family members exchanged glances. This method was feasible, and since they had nothing else to do during this period and were just waiting to harvest the crops in half a month, why not take this opportunity to make some money?
"Let's go find the Qiao family. They're related by marriage, after all. We won't do this job if they don't pay us a little more each day." Old Man Song waved his hand.
The Song family members headed towards the Qiao family in a large group.
Right now, Zhao Lizheng is bringing a message to the Qiao family.
Hearing that the villagers all said they didn't want money and had already set off to work with hoes, shovels, and baskets, the Qiao family felt a warmth in their hearts.
"Everyone doesn't want money, but we can't just leave without saying anything," Old Man Qiao said. "Prepare some tea and take it upstairs so everyone can quench their thirst."
Grandma Qiao said, "Let's fry two bags of peanuts and melon seeds, so that everyone can sit down and rest and have a snack when they're tired from working."
Then the Qiao family quickly got to work.
Seeing the villagers helping each other in such a warm way, Zhao Lizheng felt very satisfied.
Although we may have disagreements and conflicts in our daily lives, when it comes to the big picture, we are united and work together with great strength.
The Qiao family wasn't the only business or delivery driver in Yongguan County.
After Zhao Lizheng left, the Song family also arrived at the Qiao family's gate.
The Qiao family's expressions turned cold as soon as they saw the Song family.
"What are you doing here?" Boss Qiao was ready to grab a wooden stick leaning against the wall at any moment.
Everyone is on high alert. The flood control was successful, but what if the Song family tries to renege on their promises and demands that they hand over the divorce papers and the letter of severance of ties?
"Hey, Qiao brothers, don't be so extreme. We're not here to cause trouble," said Song the eldest with a lewd grin.
"We're here to help you with the work. The authorities need manpower to clear the roads, right?"
"And then?" Qiao Laosan sneered. The others who were supposed to be working had already picked up their tools and gone off. The fact that the Song family had come to the door specifically to say that it was definitely not simple.
“Our two families have been related by marriage, so it’s not right for you to expect us to work for free without paying us a single penny. We don’t ask for much; just three hundred coins per person per day. You’re not short of money anyway,” said Madam Shen.
The Qiao family almost laughed when they heard "three hundred coins a day".
Those who do manual labor earn at most 100 coins a day, but the Song family asks for 300 coins right off the bat. They really are shameless.
"Get out, get out! There are so many people in the village, why do we need your strength? Save it for yourselves!" Old Mrs. Qiao said, grabbing a broom and chasing after them.
Seeing the old lady's imposing manner, like a hen spreading its wings, and having indeed been frightened by the Qiao family earlier, the Song family quickly turned and ran away.
He shouted as he ran, "Two hundred coins a day?"
"If not, how about one hundred coins?"
"Yes, one hundred coins is the absolute minimum, that's the bottom line."
"Don't even think about getting a single copper coin. You won't even get a scrap of our Qiao family's cabbage. Get out of here, and get as far away as possible, or my whole family will beat you to death."
Grandma Qiao is now completely protective of her children, because she is worried that if the Song family comes to her door at this time, they might bring up the divorce agreement.
Even though the matter had been settled, she still didn't want to hear those words from the Song family.
After the Song family had all fled in panic, Old Mrs. Qiao walked into the yard with a broom and found that everyone was looking at her with a surprised expression.
