Chapter 313 Uncle's Family 3
"Aunt, we're not going to eat. Please ask your sister-in-law to pack the luggage and wait for my cousin to wash up before leaving. We're in a hurry and he's waiting for us to work." Yike said.
"Well, you come all the way here and don't even have a meal, how can you feel comfortable?" Aunt Li Tingting tried to persuade them to stay.
"What's the big deal? Let's eat here again next time." Yi Ke said nonchalantly.
I saw my two cousins-in-law looking at my aunt-in-law eagerly, as if they wanted to say something but didn't dare to. I thought that I also needed help, so I decided to be a good person.
She then said to her aunt, "Aunt, you should go and discuss with my uncle whether the sisters-in-law should go as well. How many people should go? And ask someone to call Xiaohong. I haven't seen her for a long time."
"Okay, you see I'm too happy. I'll ask someone to go to the mountain to look for Xiaohong right away." The aunt went out to find and call for help.
Han Yougui came back from showing off in front of his friends. He sat close to Yike and said eagerly, "Sister Yike, can I go play with you?"
Han Yougui's pair of pitch-black eyes moved around, as if they could speak.
"Sure, but you have to wait until you're on vacation." Yike said, touching his dry hair.
"Ah, that's still a long time." Han Yougui lowered his head in disappointment.
"It won't be long. It will go by so fast. Come here, let's move the things out of the car. You can help." Yike pulled him and walked out.
Ziyi opened the car door, Yike gave some dried mushrooms to Han Yougui, Ziyi carried half a bag of flour, and Yike carried half a bag of tofu skin.
Tofu skin is made after the soybeans are harvested in the mountains. There are not many soybeans this year, so not much tofu skin can be made. She had already asked Ma Youcai and his men to buy it outside the mountain and sell it as tofu skin in the winter.
They moved the things back to the main room, and my uncle came in after washing his hands and face.
"Yike, Ziyi, why are you still carrying so many things? This is unacceptable. Put them back in the car and take them back to eat. Uncle should give you things, so why would he let you spend money?" Han Daniu took the bags and was about to put them back in the car.
"Uncle, if you are so polite, I won't come next time. You treat me as an outsider." Yike said.
"No, it's not like that. I, I just..." Uncle stopped what he was doing, at a loss.
"What are you doing? What are you doing, Yike? Don't say such things. Your aunt loves you like her own daughter. Please don't not come." As soon as the aunt came in, she heard Yike's words and glared at her uncle angrily.
"Are you old and confused? This is your way of showing respect to us. You treat us as family. It is unreasonable to push away family members."
"Yes, I misunderstood." Han Daniu touched his neck awkwardly.
"Yike, I've asked someone to look for Xiaohong, and she'll be back soon. Luckily today is Sunday, otherwise I'd have to go to school to call for help."
The aunt poured a bowl of boiled water and drank it, then said, "Yike, Ziyi, will it be difficult for you to take all three of them there at once? What exactly are they going to do?" Uncle Han Daniu sat down and asked, and the aunt also hurriedly sat down to listen.
"It won't be difficult. They need a lot of people, both men and women, to do all kinds of work. But it's all done by my cousin. It's easier than working as a porter at the dock. The monthly salary is at least 25 yuan. There are bonuses for those who do a good job. Some people even get 30 yuan."
"It's so tall! Even the workers in the city are not that tall. This can't be a lie, right? Yi Ke, have you seen it?" asked the aunt-in-law worriedly.
"No, Ziyi is working there. I also work there when I have time. Don't worry, I won't lie to you."
"Ziyi is working there too, so we feel relieved." The uncle's eyes were full of smiles, and his hands were clenched into fists with excitement.
"What can a woman do? Can your sister-in-law do it?" The aunt-in-law thought for a while and asked.
"If you can do it, you can definitely do it. If I can do it, your sister-in-law can do it too. But there is no fixed salary for women's work, it just means the more you work, the more you get paid, which is different from men." Seeing that they were all listening carefully, Yi Ke explained in detail what "more work, more pay" meant.
Yi Ke concluded, "As long as you're quick, you can do a lot. Don't even think about making thirty dollars a month. You could make fifty dollars a month."
Uncle and aunt were stunned and stared at Yike in a daze.
"Dad, Mom, please let me go. I work hard and will definitely be able to earn money and come back to honor you two." The eldest cousin's wife pleaded hurriedly.
"Yes, Dad, Mom, and eldest sister-in-law are right. There is no farm work to do in winter anyway, so just let us go." The two cousins-in-law listened at the door for a long time and could no longer hold back and speak.
"Dad, Mom, let them go. With us around, no one can bully them." Several older cousins also came back from taking a bath. They listened at the door for a while and quickly spoke up for their daughter-in-law.
"Okay, okay, let's go, let's all go. Oh, it's such a good thing, I want to go too." The aunt stood up excitedly and walked a few steps, finally stopping beside Yike, "Yike, you can take the two of them with you. If they don't listen and try to cheat, you have to beat them hard."
The aunt looked at Yi Ke's small body and said to her daughter-in-law, "Don't fight back when your sister hits you. It's all for your own good. If you dare to fight back, your man will take care of you."
"We dare not, we dare not. We will be obedient and listen to you," the two cousins-in-law assured repeatedly. This is the power of the mother-in-law in this era. The daughter-in-law has to listen to her words obediently.
I would like to thank the time-travel god again for sending my husband here. At least if there is a battle between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in the future, my husband will definitely be on my side.
The Great God of Time Travel: Haha! I'd like to thank you if you just behave yourself and don't do anything naughty and scold me.
"Uncle, aunt, there is one more thing. Everyone who is going to work must sign a confidentiality agreement. That is, you are not allowed to tell anyone what work you do, how you do it, and where you work. If you agree, please sign and put your fingerprints on it. If you do not abide by the terms of this agreement, you will be reported to the police." Yi told them the contents of the agreement in simple and easy-to-understand language.
"What kind of job is this? And it has to be so confidential." The eldest cousin's wife murmured.
"Wrapping tofu skin is just one of the tasks, and there are many others. These are all technical things and must not be disclosed. As for the place of work, we cannot tell you either, because we don't want people to look for work often. The people who work there are all introduced by acquaintances, just like you. Without Ziyi's guarantee and introduction, they will not hire you." Yike explained.
"Go and pack your things. Why are you talking so much? Do you still want to go?" The eldest cousin yelled at his wife, and his two cousins-in-law quickly slipped away.
"Uncle, aunt, my cousin and sister-in-law have gone and will not be home until the Chinese New Year. Don't worry at home. I will personally send them back during the Chinese New Year. You don't have to give them money. The package includes food and accommodation, as well as two sets of clothes, so they don't need to bring so many things."
