I returned home and continued to work. I earned more money now, but I was also more tired.
Zhao Cheng helped clean the pig's head before going home.
When he was leaving, Zhang Hulan said to him, "Brother Zhao Cheng, please don't tell others how much money I earn every day."
Zhao Cheng nodded immediately, "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone."
Although most people in the village were nice and everyone knew that she must have made money, Zhang Hulan still didn't want others to know how much money she earned every day.
The next day, Zhang Hujun, Zhang Hubing and Zhao Cheng went to deliver goods. Although Zhang Hulan did not go to deliver goods, she also got up early to prepare the braised meat for the three of them.
When Zhang Xinyue woke up in the morning, she found her mother was still there. She was surprised and said, "Mom, you are not going to deliver the goods today!"
Zhang Hulan smiled and said, "Mom won't be delivering goods anymore. How about staying at home with Yueyue?"
"Okay, okay!" Zhang Xinyue threw herself into Zhang Hulan's arms, feeling very happy.
There was basically nothing to do in the morning. After breakfast, Wang and Li would carry manure water to pour on the fields.
The fertilizer fermented by the villagers is ready to be used, and the villagers have begun to pour the fertile water from the manure pits into the fields.
Now that there is no shortage of water in the fields, the second crop of millet seems to be growing better than the first. At least the regenerated rice in Daping Village is growing well.
Zhang Hulan did not let Wang and the others splash the feces. Especially Li, who is now more than six months old, it would be troublesome if she accidentally fell. Now Zhang Hulan does not let her do heavy work at home.
There are so many people digging the fish pond, just call two people to pour the water.
With an income of more than ten taels a day, Zhang Hulan's wallet was visibly bulging.
After five or six days, the braised meat shop owned by Manager Hao of Manfulou was ready, and he would have to deliver an extra hundred kilograms of braised meat there every day.
There are nearly fifty pig heads a day, and Zhang Hulan and her colleagues are simply unable to handle it all.
So she found Zhou and Liu Yongquan's wife Zheng and asked them to help, also for 30 wen a day.
Zhou and Zheng were very happy. With only 30 cents a day as wages, why would they continue to farm?
When Ma saw Zhang Hulan asked her sisters-in-law to help with the work and paid them 30 cents a day, she was extremely envious, but she did not dare to ask Zhang Hulan to ask her to come and work as well.
Finally, she found Wang and said, "Aunt, is Hulan still in need of work? Can you help me talk to them so that I can come and do the work?"
Wang said, "Why don't you ask Hu Lan yourself?"
Ma smiled awkwardly, "Aunt, please help me ask."
Wang was surprised and said, "Don't you think you have a big mouth? In the time you've been talking to me, you've probably already finished talking to Hu Lan."
Ma still smiled awkwardly, "Go and help me say that I promise to work honestly and not be lazy. Twenty-five cents a day is fine."
Wang was really puzzled as to why Ma Da Jiao didn't go and talk to Zhang Hulan herself.
Just as she was wondering, Zhang Hulan happened to come in from outside, and Wang called out, "Hulan, come here."
Seeing Zhang Hulan coming over here, Ma quickly ran away.
"Hey... why are you running?" Wang couldn't stop him.
Zhang Hulan came over with a strange look on her face and asked, "Mom, what's going on?"
Wang was puzzled and said, "Ma Da Jiao came to me and asked me to ask you if you needed any help. She only wanted 25 cents a day."
"Why didn't she come to me herself?"
"How should I know?"
Thinking about how Ma had been hiding when she saw her recently, Zhang Hulan asked suspiciously, "Mom, why do I feel like Ma Da Jiao is very afraid of me? Just like a mouse seeing a cat."
Wang said, "She does seem to be a little afraid of you, otherwise why wouldn't she dare to look for you herself?"
Zhang Hulan thought about it and turned to go out, "I'll go find her."
Zhang Hulan wanted to ask Ma Da Jiao what was wrong. The workers were not good enough. It was estimated that the stewed meat shop owned by Qian Yiweixuan would open in a few days. He would have to process more than ten or twenty pig heads every day, and he would definitely need help with the work.
Liu Yonggui was a very nice person. Although Ma Dajiao was a bit of a bad mouth, she had never had any major conflicts with the villagers, nor had she ever harmed anyone. They were all neighbors, so it was okay to give her the opportunity to make money.
As soon as Ma arrived home, Zhang Hulan came to find her.
Ma was so scared that she hid in the house, and hurriedly said, "Hulan, forget it if it doesn't work, I'll do it."
Zhang Hulan was speechless and said, "Why are you hiding? Am I going to eat you or something? Why do you hide when you see me? I didn't do anything to you, did I?"
Ma leaned against the door frame and said nothing.
Zhang Hulan asked, "Do you want to work for me?"
Ma leaned against the door frame and nodded.
Zhang Hulan said, "Then wait until my brother comes back and you can go over and help. It's 30 cents a day. You won't be busy for long in the morning, but you have to finish the work in the afternoon before you can leave."
Ma's eyes lit up, and then he nodded immediately, "Okay, okay!"
Zhang Hulan then looked at Ma and asked, "Why are you afraid of me?"
Ma hesitated for a moment, then said guiltily, "Hu, Hu Lan, I didn't know that the peddler wanted to steal things from your house last time, otherwise I wouldn't have brought them to your house."
"Peddler? Stealing things?" Zhang Hulan immediately understood who Ma was talking about.
Ma continued, "At that time, I saw that his things were sold at a low price, and he said that if I helped him explain the sale, he would give me a lower price. I thought that since you were going to buy something anyway, his things were cheap, so it would be a good deal for you, so I brought him to your house."
"Just because of this? Are you afraid that I will blame you?"
Ma nodded.
Of course, the reason why Ma was so afraid of Zhang Hulan was not just because she felt guilty, but also because she saw Zhang Hulan beat the peddler so badly that she was afraid of being beaten.
Zhang Hulan waved her hands and said, "You also said that you didn't do it on purpose, and you didn't know he was here to steal. This matter has nothing to do with you. But you should try to take advantage of others less in the future, so as not to suffer a great loss for your efforts."
Zhang Hulan left after she finished speaking, and Ma breathed a sigh of relief.
After talking about the matter, she felt much more relaxed and no longer had to worry about Zhang Hulan beating her.
Ma had been watching at the gate of the courtyard. As soon as Zhang Hujun came back, she went over immediately.
Zhou and Zheng also knew when Zhang Hujun would return, so they went to Zhang Hulan's house in advance to wait for him.
Now the cleaning of pig offal is slow, so Zhou, Zheng, Xiang Chunhua and Zhang Dahua are washing it.
Wang took Zhang Xinyao and a few others, as well as Shanzi and Zhang Xiaojun, to clean the pig's head.
Ma came over and immediately asked, "Hulan, what am I doing?"
Zhang Hulan was just thinking about what kind of work to assign to Ma, when Xiang Chunhua said, "Sister, let Da Jiao wash the pig intestines. I'll go help mother and the others."
Zhang Hulan glanced at Xiang Chunhua, then smiled and nodded, "Okay, you teach her how to wash."
Xiang Chunhua immediately stood up happily and taught Ma how to clean the pig farm.
Xiang Chunhua was really depressed during this period.
When washing pig intestines, you need to blow air into them and add water. Xiang Chunhua felt like vomiting every time she blew air into the pig intestines, but she endured it for the sake of the 30-cent salary a day. Now she can finally pass this job on to others.
