Chapter 195 The Yamen Runner Announces Good News
This is not the place to talk, so Liu Cuicui and Tie Fei didn't say anything in detail.
Just said a few words.
Tie Yue said, "I haven't received my wages for today yet. If I work for another half day, I'll get fifteen cents."
In fact, although it was fifteen cents a day, if you fell or walked too slowly, the manager would have reason to continue to deduct money.
Many times they only got three hundred coins.
Tieyue was reluctant to eat anything and usually just drank cold water and ate some dry food to fill his stomach.
Most of the time, we work on an empty stomach.
He saved up every penny he had, intending to take them home to give to his mother.
Liu Cuicui took her son's hand and said, "It doesn't matter. Let's go home."
Liu Cuicui thought that if she worked for a few more months, she could save some money and buy another acre of land.
After having the land, both sons will be able to grow crops, and they should not go hungry because of the food they grow.
Besides, she will definitely work hard in the workshop, and life at home will definitely get better.
Liu Cuicui felt sorry for her son and tears fell down.
Tie Yue looked at his mother like this and reached out to wipe her tears. "Mom, don't cry. Okay, I'll go home."
Tie Yue had not been home for more than half a month and had more than 160 coins in his hand.
Tie Yue walked straight up to the manager and said, "I don't want to do this job anymore. I'm going home."
After saying that, Tie Yue walked back with his mother and brother.
The manager opened his eyes wide and wanted to say something, but he opened his mouth but no words came out.
After walking a long way out, Liu Cuicui quietly told her son how many copper coins he had received.
Tie Yue stopped immediately and froze.
"Mom...you...you are telling the truth. Did I hear you correctly?"
Tie Yue couldn't believe it.
Half a month ago, he and his brother went back home and found out that their mother had gone to work in the workshop.
Knowing that he would be paid, he asked his brother to stop doing manual labor and help take care of the house.
I didn’t expect that my mother would get paid after working for a whole month?
Many times, when asked how much money to pay per day, the boss will find ways to deduct it.
He found it hard to believe that there would be a bonus.
He originally thought that it was very good for his mother to earn three or four hundred coins a month.
He was also worried that his mother would be wronged.
I never thought that my mother would receive one tael of silver and two hundred coins in one go.
He didn't even dare to think about it.
Liu Cuicui nodded and said, "I heard it right, it's true. I'll go back to my mother and show it to you."
Tie Fei also nodded and said, "Brother, I saw it with my own eyes. I even took a bite. It was silver."
"Many people in our village have returned home with their wages and bonuses, and the employer even gave my mother half a day off."
Liu Cuicui said, "Let's go buy some noodles and some meat, and then go home to make dumplings for dinner."
"Now that our family is rich, I can find you a wife quickly. I can even give you one or two taels of silver."
Liu Cuicui thought about it and decided to help her eldest son get married first.
She can feel more at ease knowing that her daughter-in-law is taking care of her eldest son.
It’s good to have someone who understands both cold and warm.
Speaking of this, Tie Yue's face turned a little red.
His skin has turned bronze from years of wind and sun.
But when he laughed, his ears turned red.
Liu Cuicui was an experienced person. Seeing her eldest son like this, she excitedly said, "Tie Yue, do you have your own ideas? Tell me."
Liu Cuicui naturally hopes that her son will be happy.
You will be happier every day when you are with the people you love.
Tie Yue knew that his mother and brother were worried about him, so he didn't hide anything and said directly, "I used to work at the dock with an uncle. I helped him once, and then I met his daughter. She's a nice person. I thought I could propose marriage to her when I saved up some money."
Liu Cuicui excitedly grabbed Tie Yue's hand and said, "Then, then am I happy with this?"
"That uncle passed away and entrusted his daughter to me. She has a grandmother at home who depends on her for survival. He said it doesn't matter whether there is a betrothal gift or not, but I think I have to buy something for her."
Liu Cuicui said: "It's nothing, as long as she is a good person, you can bring her grandmother over after you get married, and then we can build an extra house."
Tie Yue said, "Mom, Zhu'er is very good and will ask someone to bring me food."
"She is also very filial and kind to her grandmother. She is very virtuous."
Tie Yue was very satisfied.
Tie Yue didn't say it before because he knew the family's financial situation and was worried that his mother would worry if he talked about the bride price and other things.
But now you can say it.
The whole family was happy about the news.
Liu Cuicui said, "Let's go shopping this afternoon and find someone to propose marriage. Let's settle the matter early and get you married soon."
Tie Yue nodded and said, "Okay."
At this time, the sunlight shining on them gave them a moving glow.
There was a smile between their eyebrows, a smile full of hope for life.
Because the workshop paid wages and bonuses, many families in the village were filled with laughter and joy.
With money, every household no longer has to worry about food.
Being able to have enough food to eat is a very happy thing for the villagers.
Many families go shopping in the town together in the afternoon.
The shopkeepers in the town were a little puzzled. Why were there so many people shopping when it wasn't even the New Year or any other festival?
However, despite his doubts, the shopkeeper was happy to see so many people visiting the store.
However, most people go to the East Market in town to buy meat, noodles and grains to buy daily necessities.
…
After Shen Yueyao paid everyone their wages, she started to busy herself with recruiting workers for the second workshop for several days.
She first looked at some people on the list of the first workshop, some who were capable and did a good job. She planned to promote them to be managers of the second workshop, and then recruit some more people to work there.
She plans to open a second workshop to make lipstick and facial cream.
You can add some skin care products and cosmetics later, such as eyebrow pencil and blush.
Shen Yueyao thought that the second workshop could also hire men to work.
However, people of this era are more conservative, so in order to avoid problems, they follow the popular wisdom.
If a group of people are men, all men will be hired to do the work; if a group of people are women, all women will be hired to do the work.
Men and women live in different neighborhoods and do not affect each other.
She made preparations and posted the recruitment information.
Soon the news spread to all the villages.
Everyone was trying their best to get a job in the workshop.
Everyone knows that Shen Yueyao is kind and treats her employees well, so everyone wants to work with her.
Shen Yueyao also wanted to visit her mother's hometown, Xinghua Village.
But after thinking about it, he realized that the results would be announced soon, so he decided to wait until then before returning to Xinghua Village with Su Xueyi.
That would also make my parents look good.
Just when Shen Yueyao was busy with these things, people from the government office came to the village.
As soon as the yamen runner entered the village, the villagers saw him.
Especially when they saw the yamen runner with a smile on his face and a happy look, the villagers all had some guesses in their minds.
"The yamen runners came to our village and asked about the residence of the third son of the Su family. Could they be here to announce good news?"
"Could it be that they are informing Su Lao San that he passed the exam?"
"Come on, let's go and take a look."
