Although the price rose up to 18 wen for one mu for the rake work, she was not worried about spending the money.
Anyways, she was not going to tell them about it at the moment. She was going to make them anxious for a couple of more days.
As for the laborers written on the paper, she was going to save them for later use.
Ms. Fang answered the second section so decisively that Eldest Uncle could not say anything about that. He turned to Second Uncle and responded. “You can go home now, don’t worry, spring plow is so important that it won’t be delayed at any cost.”
Ms. Fang understood that her husband was implicitly reminding her of this issue as well. So, she sneered.
Ms. Niu’s eyes rolled as she smiled. “You are right, Eldest Brother, but it is always better to be early than late, right? We are really worried about this. What about letting Dalang come to my field tomorrow, and if Fifth Niece-in-law has some work to do in her yard, I can ask my sons to take it over. Ms. Zhang and I can help too!”
She was thinking that they could get paid for the work, at least 20 wen a day.
The work was taking place right in front of their home, and it would be effortless to do the work and get paid. It sounded like a great plan!
Ms. Fang sneered. “Second Sister-in-law, you think you are very smart, don’t you?”
Qiao Xuan smiled. “Elder Brother and Elder Sister-in-law are doing great work and I don’t want to replace them. If Second Brother is so free, why not go down to the field to finish the pending work himself? Second Aunt-in-law, if you don’t trust my mom, you don’t have to wait for us.”
“That won’t work, we have a contract, you can’t deny that!”
Ms. Niu waved her hands hesitantly.
Ms. Fang threw a sarcastic look at her husband. “In this case, just go home and wait.”
Could her husband see the truth? They would rather wait for others than go to the field to do their own work. They wanted her sons to take over the tough task!
If they really treated the first section as a family, why did they keep mentioning the contract?
They were waiting for her sons to do the labor work, they were even trying to steal her sons’ easy jobs!
Eldest Uncle was suffocating under her gaze, and did not dare to meet his wife’s eyes.
But Ms. Niu did not want to give up. “How about you hire two more people and get the work done as soon as possible!”
Qiao Xuan replied. “No thanks, I like the work to be done slowly!”
Ms. Niu glared at her. “You don’t want my sons to make money from you!”
“Obviously I need to think about my own brother and sister-in-law first, right? Second Aunt-in-law?” Qiao Xuan smiled as she countered smoothly.
Shao Yunduan, who found Ms. Niu to be talking too much, tugged at Qiao Xuan. “Dad, Mom, we are going to bed.”
With that, he left the place.
Qiao Xuan gave Ms. Niu a smile and left as well.
Ms. Niu. “…”
What was she smiling for? Everything about her was so irritating.
When Second Uncle and Ms. Niu left, they were only discussing the eldest sister-in-law.
“What is Ms. Fang doing? What is she thinking? She can’t be trying to trick us, right?”
“Of course not, we have drawn a contract! Well, let’s just wait and see, if she tries to fool us, we will go and sue them. Anyways, Ms. Qiao has the money to compensate us…”
“That sounds reasonable…”
They were so annoyed thinking how arrogant Ms. Fang had become after having Qiao Xuan on her side whilst they seemed to have gotten no benefits…
The following day, Qiao Xuan took Shao Taotao and Shao Xiaoqi to the mountains in search of Chinese fleeceflower root.
The herb field in the yard was not yet sorted, so Shao Dalang and his wife as well as Shao Sanlang were still working in it.
It would take one more day before they were done with it.
The seedling work could begin once the water was poured in the soil which would be finished by the evening.
