"Fifty coins a day per person, not including food. Another twenty coins a day to borrow a few oxen, and we'll hire about ten people. If it doesn't rain, we can finish it within seven or eight days. What do you say, Dad?"
Cheng Yue thought for a moment and said.
"Okay! Then I'll go there early tomorrow morning. This snack stand at home..."
Cheng Shun looked at Cheng Yue and then at Gu Xuelan.
"Dad, my sister-in-law and I will go to the snack stand. We'll go to the city tomorrow to see if Hanyu has someone choose a burial date. Once it's confirmed, my brother and Shanshui will have to go with her to the funeral."
Cheng Yue said.
"Well, that's as it should be."
Cheng Shun nodded.
"Grandpa, Aunt, if you send someone, I can also..."
"Shut up and study hard. If you don't pass the imperial examination, I'll beat you to death!"
Cheng Jinyan wanted to help his family share the burden, but before he could finish his words, Cheng Shun glared at him.
Since being rejected by Mingzhu last time, Cheng Jinyan has been in contact with Mingzhu in recent days, but Mingzhu said in a roundabout way that he can't do anything except study and may not even be able to recognize all the crops, so he really wants to go to the fields with his family.
The Cheng family favors Cheng Jinyan and doesn't care about Cheng Jinxing, but none of them would let Cheng Jinxing go to the fields with them, let alone Cheng Jinyan.
Cheng Jinyan wasn't the type to talk back to his elders, so after being criticized, he just sat there pitifully without saying a word.
After chatting for a while and waiting for Cheng Wu and the others, they saw that no one came back, so everyone went to sleep and Shanshui also went home.
The next day, except for going to the fields to sow seeds, the Cheng family did everything else as usual.
Three grown men from the Zhang family were invited, including Zhang Lizheng and his two sons.
Originally, Zhang Lizheng's eldest son and daughter-in-law worked in a pastry shop in the city, but it turned out to be the Shen family's pastry shop. Yesterday, Ji Mingxuan was very quick and directly closed the Shen family's shop, causing Zhang Lizheng's eldest son and daughter-in-law to lose their jobs and go home.
There is also the Li family, which is the home of Cheng Shun’s old friend Li Dagen.
Li Dagen has four sons at home and one who works outside. They are between 30 and 40 years old and are all strong laborers. He has nine grandchildren, five of whom are old enough to work in the fields.
In other words, there were ten people in the Li family in total.
Thirteen people is more than enough.
The cow was also rented by Zhang Lizheng. Cheng Shun was very stubborn and if he really went to rent it, he might not be able to rent it!
Cheng Yue and Gu Xuelan drove a donkey cart to do business in the afternoon.
When we arrived in the city, many people were still talking about the Shen family case yesterday, especially those who came to eat skewers, everyone was talking about it.
"Auntie Yue, Auntie Lan!"
When the stall was closing, Mingzhu came running over.
"Mingzhu, how is Hanyu doing?"
Cheng Yue asked worriedly.
"Alas! With Master Ji here, everything is fine. But, Miss Xue hasn't slept all day, and her eyes are swollen. Aunt Ayue, do you want to go see her?"
Mingzhu sighed. She actually wanted to say something bad about Xue Hanyu, but she felt that the girl was so pitiful, so she was kind enough not to say anything.
"Well, my sister-in-law and I are going to go over and take a look, and we're also going to ask if you guys are going back."
Cheng Yue nodded and said.
"Alright then, I'll go wait for you at the city gate! I won't go over there. I'm afraid of seeing Miss Xue like that. I can't help but want to curse!"
Mingzhu said with a pout, and then ran away for fear of being lectured.
