He grinned as he spoke, giving the impression that the matter was settled.
It's just delivering goods in an oxcart, and you can earn thirty coins a day. Where else can you find such a good job!
Then we'll be able to live in those big brick and tile houses, and our food and lodging will be taken care of. Just thinking about it makes me feel wonderful.
"Ha!" Ye Caiping sneered, interrupting his daydream. "Brother-in-law, you're overthinking it. I already said I don't need any more people. Bajin is my cousin, how could I fire him?"
"And the reason I hired him to deliver goods is because he owns cattle. Do you own cattle too?"
Yang Guangzong choked for a moment. How could his family possibly have a cow!
He was somewhat embarrassed and annoyed: "I... I don't have an ox... but you can hire an oxcart to come back later."
"Pfft... Brother-in-law, what are you saying? Do you know how much it costs to hire an oxcart for a day? At least twenty coins. I hired Bajin to haul goods, and it only cost thirty-five coins for both the driver and the cart. If I hired you, the wages plus the cart would be fifty coins a day."
"Brother-in-law, do you think I'm a sucker? Why would I hire someone who costs 50 a day when there are plenty of people who pay 35 a day? And I have to provide him with food and lodging?"
Yang Guangzong's expression changed, and he became furious and embarrassed:
"Little sister, how can you talk like that? We're family, and you're arguing about this and that, talking about thirty or fifty coins. Is it really that much money that matters between relatives?"
"We're family, can't we even stay in your house? You'd rather use outsiders than your own people, all for a little bit of money? Why are you so stingy, all you ever talk about is money, money, money, and you have no family ties at all!"
At this moment, Grandma Ye and her husband, Ye Jin'er and Ye Huan'er all stared wide-eyed at Yang Guangzong with shocked expressions.
My goodness, they were all speechless by this twisted logic!
How do we break this deadlock?
Ye Caiping scoffed, "Hmph, so my brother-in-law is so family-oriented and doesn't care about money at all!"
"certainly."
“Then my brother-in-law can do the work for me for free. I just finished building the house and I don’t have the money to pay the workers.”
Yang Guangzong jumped up in anger: "What? Why should I work for you for free?"
"Oh dear, it's just a few dozen coins, brother-in-law, why are you so stingy? All you ever talk about is money, money, money, and you don't care about family at all!"
These words left Yang Guangzong speechless. Even if Yang Guangzong was shameless, he knew that Yang Guangzong had just said those words.
They've all slapped him in the face!
Grandma Ye and Ye Jin'er couldn't help but gasp, almost giving Ye Caiping a thumbs up: Beautiful!
