I Achieve Immortality By Marrying A Wife And Having Children

Chapter 7 Dealing with Wang Hai

After swatting away the supervisors who gathered around him, Zeng Wan asked curiously: "Brother Xian, why do you owe Wang Hai so much money?"

Xu Yan explained with a smile: "I used to be a stone cutter. Wang Hai lent me thirty taels of silver to buy an ox cart and promoted me to a stone transporter."

Zeng Wanneng became a manager, so he was naturally a good person.

He could tell from Wang Hai's face that things would never be as simple as Xu Yan said.

Otherwise, given Wang Hai's kindness to Xu Yan.

After Xu Yan became the deputy manager, if he didn't show joy, he would definitely not look like his parents were dead.

"Wang Hai wouldn't be so kind to lend money to his virtuous brother, would he?"

Xu Yan hesitated for a while and then decided to test Zeng Wan's attitude towards him again.

"Brother Zeng is still very good. It was immediately obvious that Wang Hai was eyeing my new wife."

Zeng Wan looked angry and said, "This Wang Hai is too stupid. Don't worry, dear brother, I will vent your anger."

"Thank you, Brother Zeng." Xu Yan quickly thanked him.

Zeng Wan waved his hand, "Between you and me, saying thank you is too disrespectful."

"By the way, dear brother, do you have any relatives working in the quarry? Our quarry still lacks some supervision."

Xu Yan's heart moved, "Will this cause trouble for you, Brother Zeng?"

Zeng Wan smiled and said: "Don't worry, dear brother, I will be in charge of all matters in this No. 3 quarry, and there won't be too much interference from above."

"Then I'll thank Brother Zeng first." Xu Yan was grateful and told Zeng Wan the names of Li Shi, Su Tie and Su Yan.

Then Zeng Wan took Xu Yan to inspect the quarry, and by the way appointed Li Shi and three others as supervisors.

A salary of five taels of silver per month and twenty kilograms of rations per day.

The three were naturally overjoyed to be promoted to supervisor.

But they also know that they can become a supervisor, and this is all thanks to Xu Yan.

After inspecting the quarry, Zeng Wan took Xu Yan to drink tea in the stone house and handed Xu Yan the supervision list.

At the same time, Xu Yan was also introduced to the operation process of the quarry.

At noon, Zeng Wan prepared another table of delicious dishes. Not only were they meat and vegetables, but the staple food was also refined grains.

Seeing this table of dishes, Xu Yan quickly said: "Brother Zeng, this cost you money again."

Zeng Wan smiled and waved his hand, "You're welcome, dear brother, these are nothing. You are now the deputy manager, you can eat these as you like from now on."

During the meal, Zeng Wan gave Xu Yan another five hundred taels of silver notes.

Xu Yan asked in surprise: "Brother Zeng, what are you doing?"

Zeng Wan approached Xu Yan with a meaningful smile on his face.

"To be honest, my dear brother, in addition to the normal salary, our quarry also has some additional income."

"Brother Xian, please don't be polite and just accept these five hundred taels."

In fact, this was also Zeng Wan's test of Xu Yan to see if Xu Yan was on the same road as him.

Xu Yan pretended to be polite and said, "Brother Zeng, isn't this inappropriate? I'm new here, and I'm sharing the money before I even do anything..."

"It doesn't matter." Zeng Wan said with a smile: "Why do you and I care so much about each other?"

"Then I'll thank Brother Zeng." Xu Yan thanked him with a smile, and then accepted the five hundred taels of silver.

Seeing Xu Yan accept the money, Zeng Wan became even more enthusiastic towards Xu Yan.

Just after lunch, a supervisor suddenly came to report.

"The steward is in trouble. The quarry collapsed. Supervisor Wang Hai and some miners were killed by large rocks."

"What?!" Zeng Wan quickly stood up and asked, "How did the collapse happen? How many people died?"

The supervisor replied honestly: "In addition to Wang Haihai, five miners suffered, and more than ten miners were injured."

Zeng Wanchong waved to the supervisor, "Okay, I understand. You can go out first. Manager Xu and I will be there soon."

After the supervisor left, Zeng Wanchong smiled at Xu Yan and said, "Brother Xian, are you satisfied with the anger I vented for you?"

Xu Yan cupped his fist at Zeng Wan and said, "Thank you, Brother Zeng."

Although he couldn't bear to involve other people in his heart, Xu Yan was not kind to a woman.

This world is like this, weak people can never control their own destiny.

All Xu Yan can do is make himself stronger.

Zeng Wan smiled and said, "Let's go and see..."

Xu Yan nodded and followed Zeng Wan out.

The collapse was quickly calmed down by Zeng Wan skillfully.

After consulting Xu Yan, the deceased was given a compensation of ten taels of silver, and the injured was also given some medical expenses.

In this world where life is like a piece of cake.

A manager like Zeng Wan is relatively kind-hearted.

If he switches to another quarry, there will be no compensation even if he dies.

Of course, there must be Xu Yan’s reasons.

The deaths of these miners were related to him. Xu Yan could not do anything else but help their families get some compensation.

Soon it was time to finish work.

Xu Yan and Zeng Wan called all the supervisors together, and then distributed today's rations to the supervisors based on the situation at Dianmao.

Finally, the supervisor distributes the rations to all the miners.

After the supervisor left, Zeng Wan took out 49 kilograms of fine grain from another warehouse and handed it to Xu Yan with a smile.

"Brother Xian, this is your ration for today."

Xu Yan was surprised: "Brother Zeng, why is it refined grain?"

You must know that coarse grains cost five cents per pound, but refined grains cost at least ten cents per pound, and civilians in Stone Village may not be able to buy them even if they have money.

Zeng Wan smiled and explained: "We are the stewards of the quarry, so we are naturally different from others."

Becoming a steward is barely a step into the privileged class.

When it was time to finish work, Xu Yan said goodbye to Zeng Wan and then waited outside the quarry with the bullock cart.

After a while, Li Shi, Su Tie, and Su Yan came over happily carrying rations.

"Brother Yan..."

After becoming supervisors, each of the three people can receive twenty kilograms of rations, which is more than enough to feed several people in the family.

All this is thanks to Xu Yan.

Therefore, Li Shi and Su Tie are particularly grateful to Xu Yan.

Xu Yan smiled and nodded, and after saying hello one by one, he handed the oxcart to Li Shi.

"Father-in-law, you take the oxcart and rations home. I'll go to the trading pavilion and help you buy the yellow talisman."

Li Shi took the lead rope and agreed with a smile. "Okay, brother Yan, go ahead."

The Su family was not in the same direction as Xu Yan and Li Shi's family. They also had to go to the trading pavilion to buy yellow talismans, so they followed Xu Yan all the way.

On the way to the trading pavilion, I met many miners.

They all greeted Xu Yan warmly, and many who had daughters wanted to introduce him to Xu Yan.

After the Li family and the Su family married Xu Yan, they became overseers, which made many miners at the bottom very envious.

They also want to change their destiny by marrying Xu Yan.

Xu Yan refused all of them.

Su Xi hasn't settled it yet. Won't marrying another woman make it more difficult to improve Su Xi's favorability?
