Han Mingyue then realized that she had caused such a big misunderstanding.
He had felt guilty these past two days, but Gu Lili had been too busy, and he hadn't been able to find a suitable opportunity to apologize to her.
Gu Lili waved her hand dismissively and said, "I know you meant well, so why would I blame you? It's all cleared up now!"
If Han Mingyue hadn't taken her to the clinic, Gu Lili would have fainted on the street.
For both emotional and rational reasons, Gu Lili would not blame Han Mingyue.
Seeing that Gu Lili didn't blame her, Han Mingyue felt relieved.
He got up and walked outside, just in time to run into Chang'an who was walking in.
"Lili, the maltose has all been loaded into Young Master Han's car. What am I supposed to do now?" Chang'an asked Gu Lili.
These past few days, Chang'an has rested enough. Although he's still tanned, he's gained some weight on his face.
The only downside is that he still can't remember where he's from.
Han Mingyue looked at Chang'an in front of her and felt a sense of déjà vu.
However, Han Mingyue only considered Chang'an to be one of the people in the manor, so he felt that he looked familiar.
He didn't care much, nodded to Gu Lili, and headed towards being discharged from the hospital.
Gu Lili smiled and said, "Then help me carry this box out!"
The maltose was finished, and everyone was waiting in the yard for Gu Lili to pay their wages.
Inside this box are the copper coins that Gu Lili exchanged yesterday.
It's for paying the villagers their wages today.
Chang'an picked up the box and walked into the courtyard.
When everyone saw Gu Lili arrive, they suddenly fell silent, having been chatting all along.
Gu Lili smiled at everyone and said, "Thank you all for your hard work these past few days. I'll pay you your wages now."
The people that the village head found were indeed very good. In the past few days, not a single one of them has tried to shirk their duties; in fact, everyone has been vying to do the work.
In the past few days, Gu Lili has written down the names of the people who came to work.
I remember everything clearly, even though I was here for a few days.
"Grandma Yang, one hundred and five coins!"
"Uncle Dazhu, Aunt Dazhu, three hundred coins!"
"......"
Gu Lili read out the names, and then Chang'an helped hand the money to the villagers who came to collect their wages.
Gu Lili learned by chance a few days ago that Chang'an could not only do math, but also read.
Even his calligraphy is quite remarkable.
Therefore, Gu Lili has been having him do some mental work these past few days.
For example, helping with accounting, or when not busy, teaching the family members to read and do arithmetic.
Everyone was overjoyed after their wages were paid.
Grandma Yang said somewhat embarrassedly, "Lili, I'm just helping you light the fire, how can I accept so much money from you!"
In Grandma Yang's eyes, what she did was simply helping each other out as neighbors, so how could she possibly ask for so much money?
As he spoke, he was about to hand the copper coin in his hand to Gu Lili.
Gu Lili quickly stopped her, saying, "Grandma Yang, just take it. I'll need your help more often in the future. If you don't take this money, how will I ever ask you for it again?"
Grandma Li also persuaded her, and only then did Grandma Yang put the money away.
Just as everyone was about to leave, Gu Lili quickly spoke up to stop them.
"Everyone, please pay attention, I haven't finished speaking yet!"
After hearing what Gu Lili said, everyone stayed.
Gu Lili continued, "Thank you all for your hard work these past few days. Here are some broken pieces of maltose. Please don't mind them. I'll distribute them according to the number of people, half a pound each! Please line up to get some!"
Gu Lili has witnessed everyone helping with the work these past few days.
Gu Lili is never stingy with rewards for hard-working people.
Gu Yun Chu also took out the maltose that had been divided up earlier, and divided it into half a jin per person according to their head count.
"How could I possibly dislike it, Lili? Thank you!" Iron Egg's mother smiled as she accepted the candy and expressed her gratitude.
This candy is quite expensive; I didn't expect Gu Lili to be so generous.
Even though these candies are broken, they are still edible.
Everyone accepted the candy and were very grateful to Gu Lili.
Uncle Dazhu said cheerfully, "Lili, if you ever need work in the future, just come to us. We'll make sure you do a great job!"
Seeing that everyone had candy, Gu Lili then said, "I happen to have something to do! Let's all help me plant a tree tomorrow!"
Gu Lili hadn't had time to plant the hundred acres of land that the Emperor had bestowed upon her last time.
Perfect timing, these next few days we can get the villagers to help plant it.
Gu Lili had already decided that she would use half of the land to plant mulberry trees.
At that time, we will raise cicadas and spin silk in the village, and then see if there are any suitable people to learn embroidery.
In time, these embroidered items can be sold all over the country, just like candy.
After listening, everyone nodded in agreement; they all knew that this year's wheat harvest was going to be poor.
So, who wouldn't be happy to have work to do?
“Okay! We’ll come first thing tomorrow morning!” Everyone nodded in agreement, indicating their willingness to come and work.
Gu Lili went to Donghai early this morning to "buy" the saplings.
Gu Lili said, "The wages will still be fifteen coins a day, not including meals!"
No one objected. After the matter was settled, everyone happily took their candy and wages and went home.
"Grandma, Third Uncle, this is your wages!" Gu Lili smiled and handed over the money in her hand.
It costs five hundred coins in total.
Li Tiansheng had been learning arithmetic with Chang'an these past few days, and he immediately noticed that something was wrong with the money.
Li Tiansheng didn't immediately say, "Lili, you've given too much!"
At this moment, Old Mrs. Li also noticed that Gu Lili seemed to have given more money than the two of them had just received.
"Third Uncle, Grandma, you can keep these. Everyone else goes home after finishing their work, but you still have to worry about these things for me. This is what you deserve!"
As Gu Lili spoke, she handed the money to Old Mrs. Li without further ado.
"Grandma, just take it. It'll save us from having to pass it around! Otherwise, what if people say I'm mistreating you?" Gu Lili said jokingly.
Grandma Li gave Gu Lili a disapproving glare, but ultimately accepted the money.
She knew that Lili was doing this to help alleviate some of their financial burdens.
Since Lili is helping them so much, they will definitely do their best to help her even more in the future.
Seeing that Old Mrs. Li had accepted the money, Gu Lili turned around and handed the two wages to Gu Yun Chu and Chang An respectively.
"Wow, sister, I got paid too! Thank you, sister!" Gu Yun Chu smiled broadly as she put all the wages into her purse.
Chang'an was surprised that Gu Lili would also pay him wages, and he felt a little awkward.
