"I'll forget it. If you really want to give it to me, just give it to the instructor."
"You really don't want it?"
"I really don't want to."
"Okay, the instructor's monthly salary is thirty. Do you think it's appropriate?"
"If you ask me, ten bucks would be fine."
Li Xu laughed, "From what you said, the instructor's ability is not good enough."
"You misunderstood. In my opinion, ten dollars is already a lot. Just like you just said that everyone would receive fifty dollars a month, if it were me, I would only receive thirty dollars at most."
"The difference between the two figures you mentioned is exactly twenty. Based on this, the instructor's salary should be set at thirty."
After the serious business was finished, the few of them chatted for a few more minutes, agreed on a date and place to meet, and then left.
After lunch, Li Xu called his parents, Li Ping, his eldest uncle and his second uncle into a room, and asked Li Chen to guard the door and not allow anyone to approach.
Li Xu first explained the situation, then continued, "Uncle, after the New Year, the three of us brothers have to go out to do business. My parents are getting older and can't come every month like they used to. So I want to put all the annual wages of those people here with you, and you can pay them monthly, is that okay?"
Uncle Sun didn't even think about it and responded directly, "Why not? Just leave it to me and I guarantee nothing will go wrong."
Before coming, Li Xu had discussed the matter with Sun Xiu and his wife. After thinking about it, the old couple felt that they could use this as an excuse to persuade Uncle Sun and his wife to accept the subsidy.
The fact that the old couple subsidized their relatives could not be concealed at all, just like when Li Jiakang gave benefits to his nephews Li Jianguo and Li Jianjun, everyone in the family knew about it right after.
So they didn't think about hiding anything and acted without reservation.
Li Jiakang pulled out a wad of cash from each of his pockets and handed them to his two brothers-in-law. "From now on, you won't have to work in the fields anymore. You'll be responsible for keeping an eye on the movements of those people. If anything goes wrong, go to the city and inform us. This money is your salary."
Uncle Sun and his partner were immediately displeased, and spoke harshly, "Brother-in-law, you are not treating us as relatives by doing this."
"That's right, what's the difference between this and spitting in our faces?"
Sun Xiu's face turned serious. "What are you talking about? You two can't even do farm work for us. If we don't make up for your losses, how will others view us if this gets out?"
Uncle Sun Er noticed the key point and said, "Just such a small matter, can it really delay the two of us from going to the fields?"
"You have to be focused and serious when doing things, otherwise mistakes are easy to make. Do you understand? Not only can you two not go to the fields, but my sister-in-law and the others are the same. From now on, their task is to do the logistics work for you so that you can concentrate on working for us."
Uncle Sun figured it out a little bit, "Sister, you handed this matter over to the two of us just to prevent the four of us from going to the fields, right?"
"You're just imagining things. You two are the people we trust the most. If not you, who should we give it to? Okay, stop talking nonsense. Hurry up and take the money. Let's go out and chat for a while."
Seeing that the two did not move and were about to speak, Sun Xiu continued, "To tell you the truth, I have arranged some work for my younger sister and paid her a salary. If you don't accept this money, she will be in trouble."
She gave Sun Min money, but did not arrange any work for her.
I said this to get my two younger brothers to accept the money.
They were all assigned work and were all relatives. Uncle Sun and his brother did not charge any money, but Sun Min did.
Once the news gets out, people will say things like Sun Min is not a close relative and is greedy for money.
If they wanted Sun Min's reputation to remain intact, Uncle Sun and the other man had to accept the money like she did.
Uncle Sun looked at her suspiciously, "Sister, you are not lying to us, are you?"
"Why don't you call my younger sister in and ask me if I gave her the money?" Sun Xiu said unhappily.
Seeing that she dared to say this, Uncle Sun and the others knew that this was true.
Uncle Sun looked at his brother and said hesitantly, "Brother, what should we do?"
Uncle Sun thought for a moment and said, "Sister, if you want more, please give us some as a token of your appreciation."
"Don't even think about it. As your elder sister, I have to treat you both equally. I will give you the same amount as I gave my younger sister."
Uncle Sun was speechless. After a moment of silence, he took the money and put it in his pocket. "Thank you, sister, brother-in-law, Xiaoping, and Xiaoxu."
Seeing his brother's actions, Uncle Sun also took the money and thanked him.
Sun Xiu and the other three replied and then walked out.
Everyone chatted until around two o'clock in the afternoon, and then Sun Xiu's family and Sun Min's family said goodbye and left.
Looking at their departing backs, Uncle Sun's expression looked extremely complicated.
He already knew that Sun Min had not been assigned any work at all, and he also learned from her the purpose of the elder sister giving her the money.
After dinner, he let the children go play in the yard, and then said to his son, daughter-in-law, nephew and niece who stayed in the countryside, "Starting tomorrow, the four of us old people will no longer go to the fields. All the work in the fields will be left to you."
In the whole room, only Uncle Sun remained expressionless, while everyone else's faces changed.
Sun Dajin hurriedly asked, "Master, why are you suddenly saying something like this?"
Uncle Sun gave the excuse he had agreed with his brother, "Today, my eldest aunt gave me and my second son some money so that the four of us old people can have a good rest and not work in the fields anymore."
Hearing this, the people in the room had different expressions.
The expressions of the Sun family's male members were either puzzled or dissatisfied. Some of the Sun family's wives had the same expressions as the men, while the expressions of others seemed extremely eager.
Sun Yizhu, the eldest son of Uncle Sun, was one of those who expressed dissatisfaction. "Dad, if you don't want to work in the fields, just tell us directly. Why are you taking money from Auntie?"
