Chapter 333 Someone from the Zhang Family is Coming
During this period, he also arranged for his cousin Xu Chengji, his cousin-in-law He, and three other young wives who he had met several times in the village to work on the farm.
After half a month of observation, he still felt that Qiao Da was not suitable for managing such delicate work as making rouge, so he handed over the management of the factory to Xu Chengji and the He couple.
The entire farm and all the fields on the farm were handed over to Qiao Da and Qiao Er to take care of. Not only that, they were also responsible for all matters related to the nearby villagers who rented the fields, such as teaching farmers planting techniques and distributing grain seeds.
Qiao Da also breathed a sigh of relief when Song Yuntang made this decision.
After all, he is a rough man from a farming family and is not suitable for taking care of such delicate work. Compared with Rouge, taking care of the fields makes him feel more at ease.
As for the two cousins of the Song family, in addition to helping out in the factory on a normal basis, they will also have to help out when transportation is needed. For each delivery trip, they will receive a subsidy of fifty to two hundred coins, depending on the distance.
If you work harder, your wages can at least double.
As a result, everyone was very satisfied with Song Yuntang's arrangement.
With a goal in mind, I work more enthusiastically.
Each person is responsible for one process.
In just half a month, thousands of boxes of rouge had been produced under Song Yuntang's guidance.
At the beginning of production, Song Yuntang was a little stricter in controlling the quality of the products. Every day, he would take He to check the rouge produced one by one before packing them, paying attention to every detail.
Seeing that everyone was gradually getting back on track, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
During this period, Jiang also commuted between the town and Lushan Village every day.
He prepared medicinal food for Song Yuntang in various ways.
Stewed mutton, steamed fish, black chicken soup, pork bones and pig feet, white fungus soup...
If she could afford bird's nest and ginseng, she would have wanted to get some for Song Yuntang to try.
However, the effect of this tonic was remarkable. Song Yuntang's originally pale face gradually regained its color, and his whole spirit and energy improved a lot.
Time flies and it is already the end of October. The weather is getting colder and colder, and the breath you exhale can condense into white mist.
Before Song Yuntang went out every day, Jiang would thoughtfully prepare a hot water bottle and thick hand clothes for her to ensure that she would not be affected by the cold.
"Mom, we have been back to Lushan Village for half a month now. We have almost arranged everything on the farm. I will go back to the county tomorrow. Brother Mazi has returned to the farm this morning and said that the clinic there has been repaired and Manager Miao's restaurant will soon open. We have to go to the provincial capital next as we have a lot of things to do."
Jiang nodded.
"Okay, I'll pack up and go with you tomorrow."
Song Yuntang looked at her and said, "Mom, you should stay at home with Dad. No one will supervise him, and he will drink without restraint. Don't worry about the county town, you have Aunt Wu."
On the day they returned from the county town, Xu Yongwang was drunk by a group of his buddies in the village and fell unconscious on the bed.
If Jiang hadn't come back and made him sobering soup in time, who knows what would have happened.
Although Xu Yongwang is not a bad person, he is not very reasonable. It would be better if there is a woman to look after him at home so that there won't be any trouble.
Xu Yongwang felt guilty.
"Don't worry, I won't do that again."
Speaking of this, Jiang also got angry.
"I don't believe a word you say. You made promises in the county, but after you came back, all your promises went to waste."
Xu Yongwang touched his nose and said, "It's because Gousheng and his gang insisted on dragging me to drink. You know me, I will forget myself when I drink."
Jiang glanced at him.
"I think they just want to get something out of you. You are such a fool that you just go when they call you without any precautions. Fortunately, Qingye didn't follow you, otherwise he wouldn't be able to finish his book."
Xu Yongwang shrank his neck.
"It's not that bad, is it? Nothing went wrong at home, right?"
"Luckily you got drunk in our village, and someone saw you on the road and was kind enough to send you back. If you were drunk like this outside, no one would care about you."
After Jiang finished speaking, she began to instruct Nian'er on how to take care of her after she followed Song Yuntang to the county town.
I was worried that something bad might happen to this girl if she stayed at home, but after getting to know her these days, I found that the girl doesn't talk much and behaves well beside Song Yuntang. It's not bad to have her as a companion.
Considering that her parents-in-law were old and in poor health, she did not dare to mention in front of them the fact that Xu Cui sold her niece to a man in his forties or fifties.
Otherwise, if the two old people knew about it, they would probably get so angry that they would become sick.
After all, it is safer to keep her under your watch than to let her become a slave in someone else's family. When she is old enough and has enough money, you can prepare some dowry for her and find a good husband for her to marry off.
As uncle and aunt, it is enough for them to do this.
Nian'er took Jiang's instructions to heart.
"Aunt, I know everything. I will pay attention to it."
As he was explaining this, an old woman who lived at the entrance of the village came hurriedly towards him from a distance.
"Wives of Yongwang, something terrible has happened."
Jiang was shocked.
"Aunt Li, what's going on?"
Aunt Li panted heavily, "Your sister-in-law and her husband brought her parents-in-law, sisters-in-law, uncles, and an unfamiliar old man. They are a large group of people. They said they want to come to your house to take their daughter back to marry. I heard their voices from a long distance away, so I came here to inform you first."
These days, Cheng Nian'er followed Song Yuntang in and out of Lushan Village like a little maid. She lived at the entrance of the village and had seen him several times.
I felt very strange at that time.
Xu Cui came to make trouble not long ago, so why is Qingye's wife still willing to let her maid stay around?
Looking at the expressions of the Cheng family, she vaguely understood.
Qingye's wife is kind-hearted and took her in.
When Xu Cui was in Lushan Village, she was a little willful and unruly, but she never had any bad intentions.
After marrying into the Cheng family, her heart turned dark.
Isn't it harmful to rush your daughter to get married when she's barely thirteen?
When Cheng Nian'er heard this, she was so scared that she hid behind Jiang, and said with red eyes, "Aunt, please save me. I don't want to go back with them and get married."
She had finally escaped from the den of tigers and wolves of the Cheng family and really didn't want to go back.
Jiang patted her hands.
"Don't worry, the Cheng family can't take you away today. Don't forget, your indenture contract is still in the hands of your cousin's wife."
But the Cheng family is coming with such force, it seems that today’s matter will have to be handled by my parents-in-law and my eldest brother and sister-in-law.
Otherwise, Xu Cui would probably take advantage of her numbers to snatch Nian'er away.
Although Tang'er has Cheng Nian'er's indenture contract, the Cheng family is not a reasonable family.
"Wencheng, stop busying yourself. Go to the old house and your uncle's house and tell them to come over quickly."
"Why."
Xu Wencheng responded, put down the powder he was grinding, and quickly went to the old house.
