Chapter 256 Cotton



Compound.

After Xie Wenwu and Zhou Xiaohu left, Qin Xiuxiu returned to the kitchen. Now there were only Wu Xinlian and Qin Xiuxiu in the kitchen. The dishes were simple, but they could still manage the meal.

Liu Xue's side was equivalent to missing two people, Gao Wazi and Qin Xiuxiu.

Song Yuehua was afraid that the compound could not handle the work, so she came to help. Unexpectedly, Zong Yi and Zhou Dafu came over at this time.

Two people left from Zong Yi's side, one was Qiao Daqiang and the other was Old Man Ren. Two people also left from Zhou Dafu's side, one was Chen Mao and the other was Su Youtian.

It really didn't surprise Song Yuehua at all that Old Man Ren went to work next door.

"If they're gone, they're gone. We can just recruit someone to replace them," said Song Yuehua.

There was a lot of work to do in the fields, so Zhou Dafu had to find someone else.

After all, recruiting people takes time. The cotton needs to be picked and people need to do the work in the yard.

At this time, Lin, Zhang, Zhang Erniu, Ma Ye, Wang Po Po, Jiang, and Zhu Baiqi all came to Dongshan to help.

Although it was past the busy farming season, every household still had a lot of work to do. Song Yuehua felt a little guilty about leaving her own work to help her.

Lin smiled and said, "When our families had problems, you also helped. There is nothing to be embarrassed about. It's like this among fellow villagers. If you have problems, I will help you, and if I have problems, you will help me."

"You help me with a big favor, and I help you with a small favor. I think this is taking advantage." Master Ma said with a smile.

Granny Wang smiled and said, "If you're any more polite, you'll be alienated from us."

Song Yuehua smiled and said, "Thank you very much, I won't be polite then."

What did Ma Ye mean by big and small favors? The last time she went to Luozhou, if everyone hadn't stepped up, things wouldn't have been so easy to resolve.

Now with everyone's help, Zhou Dafu doesn't have to worry about recruiting people.

Ren family.

Ever since Madam Nie moved into the small courtyard with two rooms, the Ren family started to think about building a house. Originally, Old Man Ren wanted to build it according to the standards of the clan, but he did not have enough money, so he had to build a house with mud bricks and tiles.

Except for Old Man Ren, the rest of the Ren family was very satisfied. After all, the courtyard with two rooms was of this type, and the house was their own and not controlled by others.

Old man Ren moved into the new house, feeling very angry. When he heard the news that the Guan family was recruiting people in Dongshan, he immediately started to have some ideas.

Shu also found a job in Guan's house. Old Man Ren had already had this intention, so he just gave a few words of advice, and then the two of them decided to go look for Baozi.

The person who was poached from the opposite side had to be personally checked by Guan Yingwu. After Baozi brought the person to the county inn, Old Man Ren got the job with his eloquence.

After returning home, Ren Dahai and Fu found out about this.

Fu cursed angrily, "You...how could you betray the boss..."

"What is betrayal!"

Old Man Ren said confidently, "Originally, it's your job to pay me. I'll go to whoever pays more. What are you talking about betrayal? You really are..."

Fu shouted, "Have you forgotten who took us in during the avalanche? They gave us the two-room courtyard on the East Hill for almost two years, and you didn't even say a word of kindness for all that. You should have frozen to death back then."

Shu Shi had not found a job in the Song family, and she was already resentful. At this moment, she could not help but speak up, "Mother, look at what you said. If it weren't for Li Zheng Zhou, Song Daya would never care about our lives. When we lived in the courtyard, she told us to leave and let us go. Why didn't she consider the feelings of the villagers at that time?"

"Shut up!" Ren Dahai whispered.

Shu was not convinced and cursed back, "Shut up, I couldn't find a job with Song Daya, but I found one with Guan. Shouldn't I speak up for him?"

After hearing what she said, Fu was furious and gave Shu a scolding.

Old Man Ren took this opportunity to slip out, humming a little tune with his hands behind his back, and prepared to go find Old Man Li at the end of the village to have a couple of drinks.

Song family.

Song Yuehua boiled some hot water in the kitchen and used it to wipe her face. Her legs and feet were not convenient now, and she was too lazy to carry water back and forth.

I received 8 taels of silver as liquidated damages today, and I am quite happy about it.

At this time, Fu came over and apologized, "Boss, our family is sorry for you."

Song Yuehua asked, "Are you going to work at the Guan family too?"

"No, I definitely didn't think about it."

Fu quickly explained that Old Man Ren was acting entirely on his own initiative and that she and Ren Dahai had never thought about this matter.

Song Yuehua didn't react at all, she just smiled and said, "It's okay, they did give a lot of money, I can understand it if I think about it, we are still fellow villagers when we meet in the future, this will not change."

Fu looked embarrassed.

How many people envied Dongshan's job at the beginning. Why did this Guan pay the long-term worker who worked in the Song family a high salary? Isn't it obviously targeting the Song family? They had received favors from the Dongshan family in the past, and people should not forget their principles when they see benefits.

The Ren family is a family. Fu found that it would be useless for her to say anything more, so she might as well do her job well.

Three days later, Zhou Dafu found 10 people who wanted to work, and asked them to work as short-term workers for a month. He would then keep half of them as long-term workers based on their performance.

When the cotton was almost all picked, we weighed it and found that we had harvested more than 4,200 kilograms of cotton. This year's yield per mu is higher than last year.

Gouwazi wanted to take all the cotton away. Song Yuehua thought that she had promised the owner of the cloth shop last year, and she was also afraid that Gouwazi would take too much and would not be able to sell it.

"Oh, just believe me. Not to mention 4,000 kilograms, I can sell all 40,000 kilograms." Gouwazi boasted.
