Chapter 200 Wanted To Go To Work

200 Wanted To Go To Work
“They said they need a few people to help carry the big sacks and move goods.”
Big Girl Li’s expression froze.
Working on the dock was indeed not an easy job.
However, it was only for a moment before Big Girl Li looked at Qin Xiaoyao again.
“What are the working hours? How’s the pay?” she asked.
Although the work at the dock was tough, the pay was much higher than working as a shop assistant.
Furthermore, the family was in dire need of money now.
It was also good to let Daniu and Erniu work at the dock for a while and earn more money.
The reason was that it was not easy to find a job now.
Seeing that Big Girl Li wasn’t joking with her, Qin Xiaoyao paused for a moment, but eventually, she still told Big Girl Li the details.
“They start work at 5 in the morning and work until 10 am.”
“They don’t work in the afternoon. Then they continue to work at night, from 7 pm to 10 pm.”
“In a day, they have to work for a total of eight hours. The salary is 90 copper coins.”
“In addition, if the work exceeds the time and they have to work overtime, they are paid 18 copper coins for every hour.”
Big Girl Li’s eyes flickered.
“The wages aren’t low!” she said.
At least 90 copper coins a day. If there was a lot of work and the head arranged for overtime work, one could earn more than 100 copper coins a day.
“It’s alright. However, the work is really not easy,” Qin Xiaoyao replied.
Especially these days, even if the head didn’t arrange for the work to be done at the hottest time, the weather in that area was so hot that it would still be very difficult to do the job.
Previously, her father had also wanted to go, but he was dissuaded by her big brother and second brother.
Young people might still be able to endure the hardship, but old people might faint from the heat if they were not careful.
Big Girl Li thought for a moment and then raised her head to look at Qin Xiaoyao.
“Can you help me talk to Uncle Qin? Let Daniu and Erniu try,” she said.
It was already September, and winter was coming in November.
It would cost a lot of money to prepare for the winter. Big Girl Li had to make preparations early.
Qin Xiaoyao glanced at Big Girl Li.
“No need. When my big brother and eldest sister-in-law come over later, you can ask Daniu and Erniu to look for my big brother directly.”
“My big brother has already started working there. However, he will have to rest for the next few days.”
The reason was that Madam Zhang’s baby was due in a few days. Once the child was brought back, Big Brother could then go to work with ease of mind.
Sigh! Things were not easy for her big brother and eldest sister-in-law.
If it weren’t for that child, the two of them wouldn’t have had to look for work and keep themselves busy earning money.
Big Girl Li’s face lit up.
“Great! Then I’ll go tell Daniu and Erniu!” Big Girl Li said immediately.
Qin Xiaoyao stretched out her hand, intending to stop Big Girl Li, but she put it down in the end.
Forget it. Big Girl was so anxious to get her Daniu to go out to work because she had no choice.
It was not easy to raise a child and feed the family…
At the thought of this, Qin Xiaoyao couldn’t help but lower her head and look at her tummy again.
If she had a baby, she would probably be like the Big Girl and her husband, trying to create better living conditions for the baby.
Big Girl Li came back very soon after leaving.
Then, she was just in time to bump into Qin Dahu and Eldest Sister-in-law Qin at the entrance.
Big Girl Li quickly went to welcome them and called Liu Daniu and Liu Erniu over.
When Qin Dahu heard the two fellows’ intentions, he immediately agreed to help introduce them to his supervisor.
“Uncle Kuan is easy to talk to, and there were a few workers who just left because they couldn’t take it. He’ll definitely accept you two if you go over.”
“It’s just that the work is really tough. The two of you need to be prepared to suffer!” With that, Qin Dahu patted the two brothers’ shoulders.
“What’s the big deal with suffering a little? When we brothers went to the countryside to collect and sell goods, it was probably not much easier!” Liu Daniu said.
“That’s right! Big Brother Qin, we are not afraid of hardships!” Liu Erniu chimed in.
Qin Dahu nodded with a smile.
“Alright! I’ll come over to get you two after dinner. At that time, you two put on some loose-fitting clothes. When you reach there, you should be able to start work on a probation basis,” he said.
“Alright! Thank you, Big Brother Qin!” The two brothers quickly thanked him.
Then, the three of them went to the hall, talking and laughing all the way.
Uncle Liu was already aware of this matter, and he greeted Qin Dahu warmly when the latter entered.
Eldest Sister-in-law Qin, on the other hand, ignored Big Girl Li’s urging to stay and went straight to the kitchen to help.
Big Girl Li laughed and could only continue to accompany Qin Xiaoyao.
“Eldest Sister-in-law Qin is really polite,” she said to Qin Xiaoyao.
...
Qin Xiaoyao looked at her eldest sister-in-law’s back profile as she left and laughed as well.
“My eldest sister-in-law is indeed a hardworking person,” she responded.
As the two of them chatted, they began to talk about other things.
In the end, before long, Big Girl Li’s maiden family arrived.
Big Girl Li had to go and receive her parents and younger brother.
The mother and daughter hadn’t seen each other for a while, so they naturally had a lot to talk about.
Not surprisingly, Qin Xiaoyao was ignored.
However, she didn’t mind and started to look around the Liu family’s courtyard.
The Liu family’s courtyard was indeed no smaller than her own.
This was because she had built quite a few thatched sheds in her courtyard.
Strictly speaking, the Liu family’s courtyard looked much wider than her own.
...
Qin Xiaoyao noticed that the Liu family had marked out some plots in the courtyard. She guessed that they must also be planning to plow the land in the courtyard to grow vegetables.
She wondered if she should give Big Girl a few reminders later.
In such hot weather, it was not easy to grow vegetables.
If she really wanted to grow, she might have a chance after the locust plague.
After strolling around the courtyard, Qin Xiaoyao returned to the tree in the courtyard and sat down to rest.
She was a little bored. It seemed that her husband was right not to come.
After Qin Xiaoyao stared into space for a while, Big Girl Li finally came out to call her.
Thereafter, the Liu family finally set off firecrackers, and they started eating a while later.
After dinner, the Liu family refused to let Qin Xiaoyao and her family help with the dishes.
Qin Xiaoyao then brought her family home.
When they returned home, the people who had come to buy water in the courtyard had already dispersed.
Only the wet marks on the ground showed that many people still came to buy water at noon.
When she returned to her room, Song Que was indeed there.
Qin Xiaoyao’s first question was, “Hubby, have you had lunch?”
“I settled lunch with the biscuits you baked yesterday and the century eggs and chili sauce. The taste is not bad,” Song Que replied.
“Why are you back so quickly?” he then asked.
“Daniu and the others have already cleaned up the house. There were guests at home, and they didn’t need our help, so we came back.” As she spoke, Qin Xiaoyao walked to the side of the bed and plonked her butt down.
“Oh yes. Big Girl heard that Big Brother went to work at the dock, so she asked her Daniu and Erniu to go too.”
Song Que raised his head and looked at his wife.
“Daniu should be able to do it. As for Erniu, can he carry such heavy goods?” he asked.
Although Erniu was quite strong, he was still young.
It was not so easy to earn money on the dock.
“I don’t know,” Qin Xiaoyao replied.
“Big Brother promised to bring them to work at night to try. We’ll know whether they can do it after they try.
“The Liu family has just bought a courtyard house. The whole family is in a hurry to earn money.
“Plus, Big Girl’s tummy is getting bigger by the day, so it’s normal for her to be anxious.”
As she said this, Qin Xiaoyao glanced at her husband.
