Chapter 339 Spoiled You
Many people with the surname Jia were instigated by Jia Dashan and went to his side.
Only a small number of people were unmoved and still stood in line.
Seeing this, Jia Dashan snorted coldly, "You traitors to the Jia family."
Jia Kun in the crowd couldn't stand it anymore and stood up:
"Jia Dashan, you don't want to make money, but don't stop us from making money.
The price offered by the owner is very fair, why shouldn’t we do it?
And why doesn't the master want you to do anything? It's because you've gone too far. Who can you blame?
Who is a traitor? Who betrayed Beijia Village? Who betrayed and sold out our people? Isn't it too much to describe us as traitors?
Jia Kun's words were agreed by others.
"We didn't betray Beijia Village, nor did we sell out the Jia family. How could we be considered traitors?"
"That's right. They just didn't want you to work, but you accused us of something and forced us to leave with you. Is that the kind of person you are? You don't want to make money, but we do!"
"Isn't it? Your Jia Dashan family has plenty of food and drink, so it doesn't matter whether we work or not. But we can't. If we don't work, how will we get the money to support our family? Will you give it to us?"
…
Jia Dashan had a gloomy face. This damn Jia Kun always tried to sabotage him. He had been like this since he was a child. How hateful!
"Jia Kun," Jia Dashan stared at Jia Kun fiercely.
"You want to cause internal strife among our tribe, who have always been united, right?
Do you know that there are so many outsiders in the village now? If our Jia family is not united and of one mind, we will definitely be bullied by these outsiders in the future."
"Who would bully you?" Jia Kun sneered:
"It's okay. Who bullied you? It's good enough that you don't bully others.
Jia Dashan, don't try that on me. I'm telling you, I won't buy it.
If you don't want to make money, you can leave, but don't hinder us, and don't try to accuse us of anything. We are just working to earn money to support our families."
"Jia Kun, you insist on going against me, right?" Jia Dashan was angry.
The people behind him also rushed out to accuse Jia Kun, accusing him of destroying the unity of the village.
The people on Jia Kun's side were not willing to be outdone and cursed back.
Just as a fight was about to begin, Xu Pinggui arrived.
He was too lazy to talk.
He simply picked up a wooden stick as thick as his arm and smashed it hard on the ground.
With a loud bang, the wooden stick broke into two pieces, one of which flew out and fell to the ground beside it.
The loud noise made everyone quiet down, and everyone's eyes fell on Xu Pinggui.
"Are you not arguing anymore?"
Xu Pinggui threw the remaining half of the stick aside and said coldly:
“If you want to quarrel, go away and quarrel.
If you don't want to work here, then leave. My Xu family will never try to keep you, nor will they force you.
Besides, all of you can leave. My Xu family doesn't want any of you. Even if you regret it later, my Xu family will not use you anymore. Do you understand?"
Xu Pinggui pointed his hand at Jia Dashan and others.
You really think you are so shameless.
Xu Pinggui looked at Jia Dashan with cold eyes. Did he really think that everyone on his side was a fool and couldn't see the purpose of his actions?
If all these people were rich, they would naturally not care about this job.
But these people are so poor that they can barely make ends meet, yet they are still pretending to be rich. It is obvious that they want to raise the price, but no one can tolerate them.
As long as the young lady spreads the word, there will be many people in the surrounding area willing to come and work for the wages she offers. She really thinks she cares about the Jia family.
Xu Pinggui's words made the faces of the people around Jia Dashan change suddenly.
Don’t you want them to come to work?
How can this be?
But Jia Dashan didn't take it seriously, thinking Xu Pinggui was just trying to intimidate him, and snorted coldly on the spot:
"Okay, don't ask us for help."
After saying that, he shouted to everyone to leave.
At this time, the person next to him showed a hint of hesitation, but when he thought of Jia Dashan's background, he gritted his teeth and followed him away.
Follow Jia Dashan and you will have a good life.
Not long after he walked out, some people who were unsure caught up with him and asked anxiously:
"Dashan, what should we do if they really don't want us to work?"
"Yes, if they don't use us to work, we will suffer a great loss. After all, fifty cents a day is definitely the highest wage in Mocheng."
"It seems to me that they are serious and not joking. Should we go back and admit our mistake?"
…
Looking at the people who were talking about different things, Jia Dashan sneered.
"Don't worry, this is the territory of our Jia Village, he dare not use people from our Jia Village.
Believe me, tomorrow they will come to our door and beg us to work for them. Then we will raise the wages to 100 coins a day, and make Jia Kun and his men regret it to death."
Jia Dashan looked arrogant.
In the territory of their Jiajia Village, people from other families can only listen to the Jia family.
"But what if they don't invite us?" Some people were still worried:
"Fifty coins a day, for that kind of pay, people from outside would definitely be happy to come here and work for them. We're asking for a hundred coins a day, isn't that a bit too much?"
They went to Mocheng to do odd jobs, most of them were paid twenty cents a day, a few were paid thirty cents, and fifty cents was really not a low salary.
Jia Dashan's face was sullen as he snorted coldly, "So you guys deserve to suffer and be poor. Use your brains, okay?
This is the territory of our Jia Village. As long as we guard the intersection, people from other villages cannot get in.
No one gives them work, so don't we have the final say in all this?"
Jia Dashan had an evil look on his face.
People from outside can't come in, so even if they don't want to, they have to ask people from Jiajia Village to do the work. In the end, aren't they the ones who decide the wages?
The others were stunned for a moment, then nodded and praised Jia Dashan for his intelligence.
Jia Dashan was pleased, "Let's go back and make a plan.
We must make these outsiders bleed profusely!"
"good!"
…
The troublemaker left and took almost two-thirds of the people with him, but Xu Pinggui didn't care.
He didn't want to keep people like this working here, so as not to cause them trouble.
He turned to look at Jia Kun and the others, "Alright, hurry up and register. After you're done, come to work tomorrow at noon."
After giving his instructions, he was about to leave.
"Wait a minute." Jaquin caught up with him.
When Jia Kun saw him stop and look at him, his expression became serious:
"Jia Dashan is the village chief's nephew. I know him well. He won't give up until he achieves his goal. You'd better be more careful. I'm afraid he will cause trouble."
After knowing each other for so many years, he understood Jia Dashan's purpose.
They want to raise prices and increase wages.
That's why he took the other people from Jia Village away with him, with the intention of forcing the Xu family to make concessions and increase their wages.
He had used this method on other people who were exiled here before.
Moreover, judging from Jia Dashan's expression, he not only wanted to force the Xu family to back down, but he also seemed to want to control the Xu family.
They were all from the same village, so he couldn't explain these things too clearly and could only remind them vaguely.
Many people in the village have tasted the sweetness of following Jia Dashan, so they do whatever Jia Dashan says.
Xu Pinggui looked at him strangely:
"What about you? Why don't you follow him?
If he succeeds, will you get more money too?"
Jia Kun was stunned for a moment and shook his head:
"You are not easy to mess with. I don't want to cause trouble. I just want to earn the wages I deserve."
He is not a fool.
He can tell who can be provoked and who cannot be provoked.
Xu Pinggui glanced behind him and nodded:
"I understand. You can go back."
After Jia Kun left, Xu Pinggui raised the corner of his mouth. He thought that Jia Dashan had better not seek death himself. If he wanted to, he could help him.
And this Jia Kun also has a certain prestige in this village, and he is also a smart man.
Maybe it will work.
…
Rong Cang returned to the place where his grandparents and grandchildren settled.
When he saw Rong Hai about to get up, he hurried over to help him:
"Grandpa Hai, why are you up?
If you need anything, call me."
Rong Hai shook his head, covered his mouth and coughed lightly:
"I'm fine, don't worry, Master."
After saying that, he covered his mouth with his hand and started coughing again.
Rong Cang frowned. He was coughing like this, yet he still said it was okay.
He sighed, his eyes dimmed.
"Grandpa Hai, let's leave here. It's too difficult to survive here."
"No, we can't leave here." Rong Hai reached out and grabbed his hand, his thin face showing excitement:
"Have you forgotten what the master told you?
You are asked to stay here and not leave!"
His face flushed red with excitement.
In addition, he was trying hard to suppress a cough, which made his face a little distorted.
Rong Cang wanted to refute, but seeing his excited expression, he could only purse his lips:
"Grandpa Hai, don't get excited. I understand. We won't leave here."
He couldn't understand why his grandfather asked them to come here and wouldn't let them leave.
Rong Hai finally relaxed, but this relaxation was followed by a barrage of coughing sounds.
Rong Cang patted his back worriedly, with a look of self-blame in his eyes:
"Grandpa Hai, your condition has become serious again.
It's all my fault that I'm incompetent, can't make enough money, and can't hire a doctor for you."
"Master, don't worry. This is an old problem. I won't die." Rong Hai suppressed the itchiness in his throat and comforted him softly:
"Didn't you say that a wealthy family had come to the village and needed people to work? Did you go and find some work? How's it going?"
When he said this, a hint of sadness flashed in Rong Hai's eyes.
If nothing had happened to the Rong family, the young master wouldn't have to listen to these words.
Now, in order to support this old man like me, he has to work for others everywhere. I am a burden to him and making him suffer!
He wanted to just leave and follow the head of the family.
But I am worried about the young master because he is still too young.
He has to hold on and protect the young master, hoping that he can hold on until the young master grows up, so that he can live up to the trust of the head of the family.
"No, they don't want children." Rong Cang shook his head.
Thinking of Jia Dashan, Rong Cang frowned, thought for a moment, and finally spoke:
"Grandpa Hai, can we go to another village?"
