Chapter 697 Don’t you have any idea?
Zhang Juexia picked up the requirements written by everyone and took a look at them. Although the handwriting was like scribbles, he could understand it as long as he looked carefully.
Liu Jinhua repeatedly emphasized, "Juexia, we only learned a few characters thanks to you.
Don't laugh at our handwriting, but be sure to take this piece of paper to Shopkeeper Yao so she can stock up on goods for us."
Zhang Juexia patted his chest and promised.
Song Yu was worried that these people would surround Zhang Juexia and squeeze her out again. "Okay, you guys don't know what Juexia is like yet. In order to have a good New Year, I think we should just work hard!"
Song Yu's words were still effective. Everyone immediately dispersed and started working on their work.
Song Yu sent Zhang Juexia out of the workshop and happened to meet Ye Beixiu and Ye Yunhai who were walking home.
After greeting each other, Song Yu smiled and said to Ye Beixiu, "I'm leaving your wife to you now. Please take good care of her."
Ye Beixiu and Song Yu nodded slightly, stepped forward to support Zhang Juexia and walked towards their home.
"What are Uncle Yunhai and the others planning?"
Ye Beixiu reminded Zhang Juexia, "My dear, please watch your steps carefully. Let's talk about this when we get home."
Ye Yunhai and Liu Wanfeng were waiting for the young couple in the yard. After Ye Beixiu and Zhang Juexia entered the yard, they followed them into the house.
Lin Yuan served tea with great tact. After Ye Yunhai took a sip of the tea, he couldn't wait to say, "Bei Xiu's wife, I heard from Bei Xiu that you guys are going to give everyone New Year's benefits. If it were you, I'd say forget it!
It's not easy for you and Bei Xiu either. Your money didn't come from the wind. Now that your baby is about to be born, even if you have money, you have to spend it sparingly."
Liu Wanfeng quickly agreed, "Sister-in-law, Uncle Yunhai is right. I think it's better to save this money for my nephew."
Zhang Juexia looked at Ye Beixiu, who spread his hands helplessly, "My wife, I tried to persuade them, but they wouldn't listen. You should handle this matter!"
Zhang Juexia thought about it and realized that if he explained it to them, it would not make sense. It would also be a waste of time to discuss it with them. It would be better to just make the decision, "Uncle Yunhai, Brother Wanfeng, this matter was not carefully considered by Beixiu and me.
The workshop has already decided to give each person two taels of silver during the New Year. I think you should just follow their lead.
I'll ask my eldest brother to exchange some more copper coins so that everyone can have a happy new year."
"this?"
Liu Wanfeng looked at Ye Yunhai in surprise. Ye Yunhai didn't expect Zhang Juexia to be so straightforward. He didn't know how to respond for a moment.
Zhang Juexia continued, "Everyone has been helping Bei Xiu and I for a whole year, so we have to show our appreciation.
I’m afraid that Beixiu and I will spend even less time at home next year, so we’ll still have to rely on everyone for household chores.
This is a gift from Bei Xiu and I, Uncle Yun Hai, Brother Wan Feng, please don't refuse it."
Ye Yunhai knew that it was useless for him to say anything more, so he might as well accept it calmly. He rubbed his hands and said with a smile, "Then I will thank you two on behalf of everyone."
"Uncle Yunhai, that's right. If you guys refuse and the workshop happily takes the money, what will everyone think?
In this way, everyone can have a good new year.
Bei Xiu and I can also feel at ease."
"Okay, okay, to be honest, I owe this year to you and your wife."
Liu Wanfeng was afraid that he would be left behind, so he quickly expressed his gratitude to the couple.
Ye Beixiu interrupted them directly, "Uncle Yunhai, Wanfeng, is there any need for us to do this?
How about this, at noon today, you guys don't leave, just have a meal at my place, we haven't had a drink together for a long time."
"In the evening, we have some work to do and we have to do it today.
I also have to tell them about the distribution of money so that they can be happy in advance.
Otherwise, the women in the workshop would probably cause trouble again when they returned home.
They have it, we don't, and they're so proud of it!"
Hearing Ye Yunhai's joking ridicule, several people in the room started laughing.
Liu Wanfeng was also concerned about the chickens he raised. "Beixiu, how about this? Wait until this afternoon, when Brother Beishan returns from the county town. Then we can call him and we can come to your house for dinner tonight."
Ye Beixiu sent them out of the house and specifically told them to come for dinner in the evening.
After the two people made the promise, Ye Beixiu felt at ease to enter the house.
Good news in the village spreads quickly.
An hour later, everyone in the village knew that Ye Beixiu and Zhang Juexia were going to distribute New Year benefits to everyone.
A few women who were idle on the street began to count on their fingers, "There are three people in that family working there!"
"Oh my goodness, this month's salary is six taels of silver!"
"Alright, forget it. There are still four people in our village working for his family!"
"Is this fair? If we had known this earlier, we would have gone to his house to work too!"
"With your clumsy appearance, how can we use you? Besides, your son and daughter-in-law are counted as heads, and your family also earned four taels of silver!"
"That's right."
Ever since Pang Xiujuan knew her family had money, she has stood up straighter than anyone else.
She had some melon seeds in her pocket, and when she saw a group of women chattering there, she went over.
As Pang Xiujuan stepped forward, someone said to her with a smile, "Third sister-in-law, your son is really promising!"
Pang Xiujuan proudly gathered her hair and said, "That's right, our Beili and Beifeng are good at studying. They were praised by Master Chen yesterday, and now you all know everything."
"No, Third Sister-in-law, we are talking about your eldest son who passed the imperial examination. He and his wife are really generous!"
Pang Xiujuan wanted to say that whether they were generous or not had nothing to do with her, but after seeing everyone's envious expressions, she straightened her spine and satisfied her vanity, "Hey, they don't lack this little money!"
Several women gasped, "Third sister-in-law, what do you mean by not missing out on this little bit of money? You know, we were just counting how many people in our village work for his family."
"What's the point of this?"
"Give out money! It seems that Third Sister-in-law hasn't heard about this. Your son and daughter-in-law are going to give New Year's benefits to those who work in his house.
We heard that each person gets two taels of silver."
"What? Two taels of silver per person for the New Year?"
"Yes, we just calculated it. Some families only get eight taels of silver for this New Year's benefit!"
Pang Xiujuan still didn't believe it, "Did you hear it wrong? Did you give each family two taels of silver?"
"Look at what Third Sister-in-law said, how could we have heard it wrong!
Third sister-in-law, as a mother, don't you have any idea how much money your son can earn? "
