Chapter 227 228. Thoughts
Jin Qianqian smiled when she saw Ding Er still anxiously waiting for her answer.
"Actually, you don't even need to discuss this with me. After all, you already know the method."
"How can this be possible?" Ding Er quickly shook his head, "After all, this is your method. It would be inappropriate if I just took it for free.
Besides, I, Ding Er, don’t want to be criticized for what I do, so I’m just waiting for your approval, Madam.”
Jin Qianqian picked up the teacup and took a sip of water. "What if I don't agree?"
A flash of disappointment flashed across Ding Er's face, but he forced a smile, "Then I understand. I will definitely not build this kind of dry toilet in the future."
Jin Qianqian smiled and said, "I don't agree to accept your share, but you can build as many dry toilets as you want in the future, and I won't ask any questions."
"How can it be possible?" Ding Er was unhappy, "This doesn't make sense."
Jin Qianqian looked at him, "Do you think it would be difficult to build this dry toilet if you have seen the whole process?"
Ding Er thought for a moment and shook his head. Any experienced craftsman would be able to do it after just a few glances.
Jin Qianqian, "Isn't that it? Although I was the one who first proposed to build this dry toilet, there is no secret recipe or anything like that. In addition, you also contributed half of the credit. If you hadn't found a way to put everything together, I wouldn't be able to accomplish anything with just the idea."
"But this still takes advantage of you." Ding Er knew that this was not justifiable, but he was tongue-tied and didn't know how to convince Jin Qianqian.
Jin Qianqian made the decision directly, "It's settled now. Qingzhu, go and settle the money with Master Ding. Don't treat him unfairly."
Qingzhu agreed and followed Butler Fu to send the person out.
Ding Er walked out of the door and said with emotion, "Since I met your master, my good fortune has come.
It turns out that the fortune teller my father met was right. I am lucky to meet a noble person in my middle age. "
Butler Fu said with a smile, "That's right, we all met a noble person.
You see, the yard here is small, why don't we go to the workshop and settle the bill."
"Or I'd better not settle the bill. Otherwise I'll always feel guilty." Ding Er wanted to turn around and leave, but was grabbed by Butler Fu.
"That won't do. You just heard it. You can't make things difficult for us."
At this time, Xu Dawang came over with a donkey cart. Seeing that Qingzhu was already seated, Butler Fu quickly pulled Ding Er to sit in the corner.
In the afternoon, Qingzhu and Qinglan came back from the workshop and brought a piece of news to Jin Qianqian.
"You mean, Ding Er has agreed with Big Brother and his family that they will use them for a long time in the future?"
Qingzhu nodded, "Yes, he said that he would notify them immediately if there was any work."
Jin Qianqian immediately understood what Ding Er meant. This was a disguised way of compensation.
"Tell Butler Fu to go over and tell them when he's free. If it works well, treat it the same as other people. If it doesn't, don't force it."
Qingzhu, "I'll go right away."
After Qingzhu left, Jin Qianqian turned around and asked Qinglan, "How is the workshop these two days?"
"It's pretty good for now. Everyone is very happy these past two days. They are wearing new uniforms and living in a new house. They are working very hard."
"What about my sisters-in-law?"
Qinglan pursed her lips, "They asked me today, saying that it was too tiring to go back and forth all day, and they also wanted to have a place to stay here like everyone else."
Jin Qianqian raised her eyebrows, "Then their family doesn't care?"
"I asked them, and they said they would have to prepare meals anyway, and here we provide three meals a day, so they can eat well and rest well. As for home, the children are grown up and can take care of themselves."
Jin Qianqian immediately thought of Xiao Leshun, "Does that mean the same thing to my fifth sister-in-law?"
"She didn't say anything, she just stayed with them quietly."
Jin Qianqian was really having a headache now. Although she helped several brothers, the old lady in the family also suffered.
Several children who have not grown up yet basically stay at Li Cuicui's house all the time.
Each family was given food rations, but taking care of children was not so easy.
Although Mrs. Song and Luo Gang can help, it is still a lot of worry to take care of five half-grown children.
Gaoling Village
"Mom, can you let those kids go outside to play?" Gu Yuanfeng said angrily, "It took so much effort to get that little girl to fall asleep, and now they're making a fuss and she's crying again."
"If the child cries, just comfort him. How can he not make noise in the broad daylight?" Li Cuicui knew that she was lazy again. "Besides, the child has not just slept for a long time. It must have been more than an hour. He must have peed or be hungry."
"I knew that compared with your older grandchildren, my mother and I are just bitter cabbages. You can't say anything or scold us." Gu Yuanfeng covered his face and started crying again.
"Don't bring bad luck to me all day long," Gu Dashi walked in at this time, and saw Gu Yuanfeng wiping tears again, and his temper flared up, "You've ruined my good life with your tears.
You are such a fool, old woman. You have already finished your confinement period and you have not yet found a family to send her away."
"Dad, am I still your daughter?"
"If you were not my daughter, you would have left long ago. Who would tolerate you causing trouble every other day?" Gu Dashi walked into the main wing and wanted to pull the kang cabinet, but found a lock on it.
"Old woman, why is this still locked?"
Li Cuicui didn't chase him in as usual, but said coldly outside, "There are too many people coming in and out of the house now, so I locked everything to avoid being unable to explain if something is lost.
What do you want? Tell me and I'll get it for you."
Gu Dashi, "Mugen asked me to come over for a drink, I can't go empty-handed, I remember we still have some cakes, give me one."
Li Cuicui said very straightforwardly, "No, don't you see how many children we have in our family these days? If you had one piece, I would have finished it if I had one piece.
Besides, how could Liang Mugen be so kind? This isn't a happy occasion, so why would he invite you to drink?
I'm telling you, don't think you can get carried away just because someone flatters you. If you dare to interfere with Old Seven's affairs, I'll break your legs again."
Gu Dashi, "What are you talking about, you crooked woman? We are all from the same village, so what's wrong with having a couple of drinks when we are free?
Don't tie everything to your good son. Didn't we just hire two people to take care of you? Look how biased you are."
Thinking of the couple serving at home, Gu Dashi looked worried. He didn't know if it was an agreement between the son and daughter-in-law, but the old woman was in charge of all the big and small matters at home, and he couldn't even order them around.
Li Cuicui would not indulge him. "Don't you feel taken care of? Don't you eat the food I cooked? Don't I help you with the farm work? Now you are walking around the village and everyone is polite to you. Isn't it because of Old Seven?"
