How could Shu Wenqing be willing to see the opportunity to make money slip away?
He grabbed Village Chief Xu.
"Okay, I'll let Jiaying go to your house and take care of Old Madam Xu. But, sir...where's the five cents a day you agreed on?"
Extending his hand, Shu Wenqing signaled to Village Chief Xu that he could pay him today's wages, so as to avoid Village Chief Xu from changing his mind at the last minute.
At this time, Shu Guozhong just took out a set of clothes from the house. He looked at Village Chief Xu in surprise as he gave his father a few cents.
"Dad, what are you doing?"
Shu Wenqing took the money and smiled brightly. He waved his hand and said, "It's nothing. The village chief hired Jiaying to take care of the old lady at his home for a few days. This is the salary the village chief paid us."
"Uncle Xu, why don't you ask my wife to go with such a good thing? My wife eats less and has more strength. She is definitely better than the ugly girl."
Village Chief Xu didn't want to get too far into the matter, so he ignored Shu Guozhong and said to Shu Wenqing, "I've been here for a long time. I'm going to go back to see my mother first. Tell Jiaying to get herself ready and come back to my house."
"Okay, Guozhong, why are you still standing there? Hurry up and get some clothes for your sister to change into!"
"I'm holding it now, right?"
Knowing that there was no hope of making money, Shu Guozhong said "Pah" in his heart, and with an unconcealable look of disgust, he came to Shu Jiaying's house.
Seeing Shu Jiaying sitting on the edge of the bed, Shu Guozhong threw the clothes into her arms.
"Hey...this is a set of clothes that your sister-in-law found especially for you. Your sister-in-law herself is reluctant to wear this set of clothes. Now you can go to work for the head of the neighborhood. If you get any benefits, don't forget the kindness of your sister-in-law and me to you."
Just as he finished saying this, a pair of pants with a big hole in the back fell to the ground. The hole looked very funny.
Open-crotch pants?
Oh... never mind, I can still wear it after mending it up.
“…”
Shu Jiaying looked at Shu Guozhong speechlessly, not understanding how this nominal brother could be so shameless?
She bent down to pick up the pants on the ground, then held the clothes in her arms, and took some needle and thread. Shu Jiaying left her room without saying a word.
When they walked into the yard, Shu Wenqing was still squatting under the pomegranate tree smoking a water pipe. When he saw Shu Jiaying coming out of the house without wearing a mask, he immediately started to blame her in dissatisfaction.
"It's fine if you're embarrassing yourself in your own home, but why don't you cover your face when you go out? If you go to someone else's house and they see your horrible face, won't they be scared to death?"
“…”
Facing Shu Wenqing, Shu Jiaying also remained silent. Before walking out the door, she took out the mask she used to wear in her previous life and put it on her head.
To be honest, this mask is rough and ugly, and it exudes an indescribable smell. It took Shu Jiaying a lot of courage to put it on her face. She thought that after she went to the river to take a bath, maybe she could consider retiring this mask.
Walking on the path in the village, although she could still see people pointing and talking about her, Shu Jiaying no longer cared because her eyes had long been attracted by the plants growing by the fields.
Although these plants are common plantain, dandelion, purslane, snake tongue grass and bidentata, they can all be used as medicine. If these plants are dug up, processed and sold to pharmacies, this may be a good business idea.
