“If you two don’t plant enough fruit tree seedlings in the end, then you’ll have to work for me for free until you have planted three thousand fruit tree seedlings. Only then will you be paid for the last ten days of work.”
Yue Jiuyue deliberately reduced their wages by another coin. The two men's expressions twisted for a moment, but in the end they didn't say anything, which was taken as tacit agreement.
After the employment contract was signed, Yue Jiuyue didn't bother to go to the county government to get it stamped and turned into a formal contract. Anyway, the village chief knew their fathers-in-law, and the Lin brothers, Chaonan and Chaobei, knew where their home was. If the two of them couldn't fulfill the contract and wanted to run away, they couldn't just run away.
With the fruit trees planted and the contract signed, she finally had time for Lin Chaonan and Lin Chaobei to help her deal with the water snakes in the lotus pond.
As for what to do with the two brothers, that's not Yue Jiuyue's concern; as long as they weren't bitten by the water snake, that's fine.
Yue Jiuyue suddenly found herself with nothing to do again. Xiao Man'er had been circling around her for several days before she remembered that she had promised to buy Xiao Man'er a maid who knew needlework from the brokerage. So, early the next morning, without even eating a few bites of breakfast, Yue Jiuyue drove the carriage and took Xiao Man'er to town.
Of course, going out isn't just about visiting the brokerage firm; we need to fill our stomachs first, and we also need to do some shopping. Maybe we'll find something Yue Jiuyue wants, or something delicious or fun that Xiao Man'er likes.
After strolling around for a while, Yue Jiuyue's bamboo basket was full before she took Xiaoman'er's hand and went to the brokerage.
This time, the person who received Yue Jiuyue was not the same matchmaker as before.
"I want to buy a woman who is skilled in needlework."
Yue Jiuyue stated her purpose directly.
“Madam, we currently do not have any skilled needlework women here. If you need them, we can transfer a few from other places, and you can come and choose from them. Alternatively, we can send them directly to your residence for your selection.”
The matchmaker didn't look down on Yue Jiuyue because she was dressed in burlap and spoke in a rustic accent. Instead, she treated her with great courtesy and service, which immediately made Yue Jiuyue feel quite fond of her.
Although this person is a matchmaker, her service attitude is really good, definitely a five-star review!
"I wonder how long it will take to get the people transferred here?"
Yue Jiuyue asked.
She wasn't in a hurry, but Xiaoman'er clearly couldn't wait; of course, the sooner the better.
"Those from nearby towns and counties can be transferred over this afternoon, but I don't know if any of them will suit your taste. Other places are too far away, so the earliest they can be transferred is tomorrow afternoon."
"Then I'll come over tomorrow afternoon. If I don't come tomorrow, I'll come the day after. I hope you can save me a spot."
Yue Jiuyue booked her arrival for the day after tomorrow, fearing that some unexpected event might delay her arrival. Not only would she have wasted her time by having to ask someone else to come, but if they saw she hadn't come and moved her to another location, she would be late and lose credibility. What if they refused to move anyone else for her?
Although she could buy it in other towns or the county seat, she didn't want to be a dishonest person, so she always left herself some leeway.
"OK."
The matchmaker smiled and saw Yue Jiuyue out the door.
It wasn't until they were quite far from the pawnshop that Xiaoman'er came to her senses.
She just saw several children who were about her size...
