Chapter 186: Recruiting Workers Tang Luwu came back from the vegetable field and saw Tang Mingxiu coming from the opposite side. She moved to the side and gave way to him.
Tang Mingxiu stopped in front of her and greeted her with a smile: "Sister Luwu."
Tang Luwu looked puzzled, obviously not understanding what Tang Mingxiu was talking about. Their two families had long since fallen out, so the word "sister" made her feel a little uneasy.
"What's up?"
"Sister Luwu, I have a good job here. If you follow me, I guarantee that you can earn more than five taels per month." Tang Mingxiu lowered his voice and said, "I haven't told anyone about this. There is only one position for this. If everyone knew about it, I'm afraid everyone would fight over it."
"No, I'm fine now. I don't want to go out to work." Tang Luwu said and was about to leave, but Tang Mingxiu stopped her. She was a little impatient and looked at Tang Mingxiu and said, "Move aside."
"Sister Luwu, I know you made money with Qin Huiyin. But you have to understand that the money Qin Huiyin made belongs to her and her daughter, and it will not fall into the hands of you brothers and sisters in the end. They are trying to coax you with nice words now, but you will be useless in the future, and their true colors will be exposed. Apart from anything else, you have seen the fate of the Song family father and son, right? Silly sister, you have to think about yourself!"
"If that's the case, I will make myself useful and let my mother and Yinyin always have use for me. What's useful or useless? The useful things are kept in this world, and the useless things are thrown into the wasteland. Just like these weeds, they are useless, so they are pulled out. These seedlings, because they are useful, need to be watered and fertilized regularly. Don't try to drive a wedge between our family. I'm not that stupid."
Tang Luwu said this, glared at Tang Mingxiu angrily, and left with the basket of vegetables.
She took a few steps and turned to look in Tang Mingxiu's direction: "Besides, I'm not a fool. Don't I know how capable I am? I don't have any skills. Why can I only get five taels a month? You know what kind of job you are doing."
Tang Mingxiu looked at Tang Luwu's back, with a vicious look in his eyes: "This Tang Luwu has been with Qin Huiyin for a long time, and she has actually grown a brain."
Tang Mingxiu deliberately seduced Tang Luwu.
The more harmonious the Tang family was, the more she wanted to break this harmony and make their family restless. Unfortunately, Tang Luwu, the dumbest one, became smart, so this plan could not be implemented.
Tang Mingxiu continued to look for his next target.
Not long after she left, she saw a woman squatting by the river washing clothes.
She was wearing thin clothes, and her beautiful figure was faintly visible.
She heard that Tang Jizu had a concubine and a son. Now it seems that this person is Liu, who is as romantic as Li Taohua.
…
Tang Lvwu went back in a huff. Xiang Chuntao, who was making stuffed tofu next to her, saw her expression and said with a smile, "It's so rare that someone can make our sister Lvwu angry."
Qin Huiyin came out and looked at Tang Luwu in confusion: "Sister, what's wrong?"
"I just met Tang Mingxiu." Tang Luwu said angrily, "She asked me to work with her and gave me five taels of silver a month. She also said a lot of nonsense, anyway, she said bad things about our family."
"Five taels?" Xiang Chuntao's fingers trembled, and the soy milk almost spilled out. "Oh, am I kidding you, or is this true?"
"Aunt Wang is recruiting people everywhere. She said that Tang Mingxiu's husband is very rich and has a big business. Now she wants to recruit ten female workers, aged between twelve and fifteen." Wang Juying said.
"What can such a young girl do?"
"He said he needed young girls to entertain guests. His husband is in the silk business."
Zhou said enviously: "What a pity, there is no little girl in my family."
Pangzi was hanging clothes nearby and said calmly, "If you go to the city and find a job, how much do you think you can earn?"
"It depends on what you do, but it's definitely no more than 500 wen. The men who are apprentices only make 500 wen a month. As for me, I have no skills and I can't read, so I don't make more than 400 wen."
"Then why do you think any little girl can earn five taels of silver? Five taels of silver is indeed tempting, but I don't know what kind of price it will cost." Pang said, "Now you should support your brother-in-law and Dazhu well. If you can help them, then help them. If you can't, then prepare meals for them. Your husband and son can earn money, do you need to worry about money?"
"Sister-in-law, you are really insightful. I still have a lot to learn from you." Zhou said sincerely.
Li Taohua came back cursing and tidying up her wet clothes from time to time.
"What's going on?" Several women came over.
"I just had a fight with that bitch named Wang." Li Taohua put her hands on her hips and said proudly, "That bitch drank a bellyful of water. I can swim, so I'm not afraid of her."
"Aunt Wang has become bolder today. She used to avoid Aunt Taohua, but today she dared to fight." Xiang Chuntao exclaimed, "Is it because her daughter is back and she feels that she has someone to back her up?"
"That's right. She boasted all over the village that her son could make a lot of money and had just brought her ten taels of silver. She also said that her daughter married a rich man and she would live a comfortable life with her daughter and son-in-law in the future. If she was just showing off, I wouldn't want to pay attention to her. But she mocked me in a sarcastic way, saying that I was showing my daughter around all day and no man would dare to marry her in the future. How could she say anything about my daughter? What kind of ugly thing did her own daughter do? Did she think that everyone in the village had lost their memory? I immediately stood up to confront her and asked her to take the villagers to her son-in-law's shop to have a look. Only after seeing clearly would she send him to work."
"Mom, change your clothes first." Qin Huiyin reminded, "The weather is getting cold, don't catch a cold."
Li Taohua responded and strode in.
Xiang Chuntao said, "Aunt Taohua is right. If the villagers really want to send their daughters to work and earn money, they have to find out what the other party's shop is like first. It's impossible for their daughter to be taken away by the other party. If it were me, I would definitely go and see where the other party took her, what job she was taking her to, and where I can find her in the future. I have to find out everything."
"Unfortunately, not everyone cares so much about their daughter's life or death." Qin Huiyin said the reality. "Just wait and see, even with my mother's reminder today, someone will still send their daughter over."
"Eight hundred coins is not a low amount. Men working on the dam only earn three hundred coins. Just imagine how tiring the work is. If my daughter can bring the money back, many families in the village will agree." Zhou said.
