As Aunt Zhang shouted, she crouched down and glanced at Sun Jinhua.
Strangely, whenever the Ding family is mentioned, Sun Jinhua's family rushes over like cats seeing fish or wolves seeing meat, eager to take a bite out of them.
Why is this family so quiet today?
They remained silent as if they hadn't heard anything, which is unlike their usual behavior.
Sun Jinhua had a lot to say and wanted to come over and make a few sarcastic remarks, but when she thought about the upcoming marriage with the Ding family, she swallowed her words.
From now on, the Ding family's property will belong to her son. The Ding family took advantage of Hu Shuiqing, and what they saved will also belong to her son. Good, very good. Hu Wenhua should help the Ding family build the wall!
The more you occupy, the better.
Unable to find any help, Aunt Zhang had no choice but to continue on her own. "If you ask me," she said, "we don't need to rush. Let's take it slow. In the end, it's the Ding family who will slow things down, not us!"
Aunt Li couldn't help but laugh.
It's not like we're all working together. Everyone does their own thing, so finish early and rest early. Who's going to follow your slow pace?
This bald guy's wife is really out of her mind. Does she think other men don't work just because her own husband doesn't?
The old village chief was wise to assign tasks to specific sections and distribute them to individual households. Otherwise, if everyone had worked together, I'm afraid Zhang the Bald would not have been able to find a single person in his family who would actually do the work!
"Hey, I didn't expect there to be so much interest in our Ding family! Sorry we're late, but we're definitely not slow!" Qin Yilin's cheerful voice rang out.
The people who were working looked up.
Zhang Chunhua was overjoyed; finally, the Ding family would also be coming to work!
Ding Jiajia can earn money by processing medicinal herbs, but she certainly can't do farm work as well as I can.
She looked up but didn't see Ding Heli or Ding Jiajia, only Aunt Ding and five sturdy women.
What? Ding Heli doesn't need to work, and neither does Ding Jiajia?
Aunt Zhang scoffed at these words, then looked up toward the source of the sound, wanting to see how the Ding family dared to make such boastful claims.
The Ding family only has three people, even fewer than my own family. Although the men in her family don't do any work, their daughter is very capable. Ding Jiajia can't lift anything, so she's nowhere near as strong as Chunhua.
Then I saw Qin Yilin walking over with five burly women.
She recognized the five people; they were servants from Hu Shuiqing's household, whom she had seen in her dining room a few days earlier.
"You couldn't wait for Hu Wenhua's help, so you just dragged Hu Shuiqing's servants over to do the work?"
"Hehe, sucking up to people really works! Look, now I don't have to do any work myself, isn't that a great deal?"
Hearing her mother's words, Zhang Chunhua felt a pang of jealousy and became even more determined to marry into the Hu family. Aunt Ding was only trying to curry favor with Hu Shuiqing, and she was able to send five people to help her. If she became Hu Shuiqing's sister-in-law, wouldn't she be able to get whatever she wanted?
Sun Jinhua felt a pang of jealousy; she was Hu Shuiqing's sister-in-law! Yet Hu Shuiqing was helping an outsider instead of her.
She thought that since she was helping the Ding family, and the money would also go to her son, her family would have benefited. Only then did she feel a little more at ease.
Zheng Yan looked at Aunt Zhang and said in a loud voice that everyone present could hear: "Aunt Ding hired us to work for 30 coins a day. The employer agreed, so we didn't take advantage of the employer. In addition, Aunt Ding will also take care of our meals while we work."
Aunt Ding offered to pay for the meals of the five of them, but the landlord did not agree, feeling that since both sides were helping each other, there was no need to be too particular about the details.
The workers didn't react much to Aunt Zhang's sour words. After all, the Ding family was indeed very skilled at gathering medicinal herbs, and if they had the ability, they would be willing to help. However, after hearing Zheng Yan's words, they straightened up from their bent backs, their faces full of disbelief.
Thirty coins a day?
