The boss is dressed as cannon fodder

When Shun Niang arrived at the village, Li Zheng's youngest son was feeding the mules.

The Li Zheng family was considered extremely wealthy in the eyes of the villagers, and they actually bought a mule except for one.

Li Zheng's youngest son is a lean boy in his early sixteenth year, with a shrewd light in his eyes. At this moment, he is lowering his head to brush the mule's fur, which he cherishes very much.

The villagers were envious, and if the mule was theirs, they might cherish it more. The Li Zheng family is really rich. With this mule, the youngest son has no fear of not being able to find a wife.

"Isn't the Jiang family quite rich?" The villagers were a little jealous thinking about yesterday's family separation, "I didn't even see them buying any cattle."

Regarding the villagers' questions, Shun Niang lowered her head and said softly: "My mother-in-law said that a cow costs twenty taels, which is very expensive. Besides, my husband used to be strong, so it didn't matter if he worked more..."

It seemed like he didn't say anything, but in fact he said everything. He was just being stingy and would rather tire his son to death than spend money.

Tsk, there is a completely different situation during spring plowing with cattle than without cattle. When plowing the fields, people pull the plow, and the rope sinks deeply into the shoulders. Often, just after the spring plowing is over, the person is half useless.

The villagers lowered their voices, once again suspecting that Jiang Dao might not be his biological child.

No matter how expensive this cow is, can it be compared to humans? Besides, the Jiang family's wealth is so rich that it makes people jealous.

"No wonder Jiang Dao is so disheartened that he wants to sever ties with the old Chen family."

"That's right, Jiang Dao is so capable. After he is decommissioned, he will be worth a cow."

"Nonsense, a cow is not even worth it! You didn't want to give me a penny until you saw Mr. Chen, so you only reluctantly gave it after Li Zheng said so."

"Shh! Whisper, look Jiang Er is coming."

Jiang Hai looked at Shun Niang inexplicably, "Shun Niang, are you going to the city too?" Shun Niang used to go to the city a lot. She was good at embroidery and often took jobs at embroidery workshops in the city, but she used to walk there. Mrs. Chen would not allow her to waste money on a car ride.

"Well, I don't even have bowls for eating at home, and I don't even have oil or salt. I have to buy some."

Many villagers understood that Jiang Hai was a little embarrassed. His wife, Xiao Chen, hated her eldest brother for splitting up the family and taking away twenty taels. She refused to give oil and salt to the eldest family for cooking last night...it was just oil, it was really impossible without salt, Shun Niang I had to borrow it next door, and then the whole village knew about it.

The villagers' gazes made Jiang Hai's face heat up, and he secretly blamed Xiao Chen for making him lose face. Damn it, when he is admitted as a scholar, he really has to take a concubine who knows the general situation, and then let her be the head of the house. Little Chen will not be able to take the stage.

Jiang Hai didn't say anything to Shun Niang anymore, because he was afraid of being embarrassed again. Now that the family was separated, Shun Niang was not like before, and she was encouraged by her elder brother to go against her second wife.

Li Zheng's son asked Jiang Hai to sit in the best seat, and after thinking about it, he found a seat farther away from Jiang Hai for Shun Niang. His father sighed yesterday, as if he had a conscience because he was too partial to the second wife of the Jiang family. He also felt that the division of the Jiang family was too unfair, but he couldn't do anything.

The villagers looked at Shun Niang and then at Jiang Hai. The two of them had not communicated at all before turning away regretfully.

It seems that the second and second bedrooms of the Jiang family really don't interact with each other.

It was only when Lao Chen wanted to hire some day laborers to help with farming that he found out what Jiang Dao had done.

He actually hired several people to help him repair his house for thirty cents a day!

"Your eldest son pays thirty cents to repair his house, but you actually want fifteen cents to hire someone to farm? Tsk, it's still spring plowing season... I dare say you can't find anyone in Qingyun County who's willing to come over!"

The leading middle-aged man almost didn't curse. Didn't he say that there are scholars in the Jiang family? They thought that if there were scholars in the family, they would not be stingy with money. Families with scholars would generally be more generous when considering their reputation. Little did they know that Mr. Chen was just a shameless piece of meat!

"Isn't this my meal package?" Old Chen certainly knew that this money was too little during spring plowing, but yesterday she paid twenty taels of silver to her eldest son, and now she felt so distressed that she cherished every penny.

"Brothers, let's just treat this trip as nothing!" the middle-aged man said angrily, "just invite someone else." During the busy farming season, there is no shortage of work everywhere, so he is not afraid.

Old Chen quickly stopped the middle-aged man, "Little brother, the price is easy to talk about, I will add more..." She once again scolded her eldest son as a dog in her heart. If he hadn't hired someone to ask for thirty cents, how would these day laborers have followed up and asked for three cents? Ten articles! Then Old Chen secretly blamed himself for not thinking carefully. If he had known it, he would have let Ero stay one more day. Ero was a scholar. These day laborers did not dare to offend scholars, and they would definitely not open their mouths.

"How much more?"

"Twenty cents..." Mrs. Chen laughed, feeling very distressed. Twenty cents for six people. It would take several days to farm this field. It's not that she didn't think of looking for someone, but she couldn't find him. During the busy farming season, the landlord There is plenty of farmland, but there is also a shortage of day laborers.

"Let's go!" The middle-aged man didn't look back. He thought he was stupid. It's busy farming now!

The final price agreed upon was twenty-five cents, and the food also required quality. The food had to be dry rice, and the lunch dishes had to include meat or eggs, and should not be less than half a catty.

Mr. Chen scolded his eldest son's room for a long time. If he hadn't set prices randomly to disrupt the market, would these day laborers be able to raise such high demands?

Still working for rice, half a pound of meat, robbery!

Jiang He turned a deaf ear and thought he was great.

He knew that giving Old Man Wang thirty cents a day would not make a loss, and the quality of the house would be guaranteed. Who doesn't know how to build a house, but Old Man Wang and his family are professionals! Old Man Wang has many children, grandchildren and relatives, so he specially organized a team of ancient contractors, who are very skilled in craftsmanship.

The second is to gain a good reputation. Although the old Chen family broke up yesterday and said that he was "heartbroken" and broke up with the second wife and the old Chen family, there are always some moral emperors who believe that filial piety is greater than heaven. If I want you to die, you can't have any thoughts. Living thoughts! These thirty coins are not only the money to repair the house, but also include the water army of Old Man Wang's many relatives and friends. The next time the moral emperor swipes the screen, the water army will naturally be - top!

The third is angry old Chen. He also knew that no one was farming, so Mr. Chen had to hire someone. After knowing the price he offered, he would definitely stop working as a day laborer. The result was very satisfying, and Mr. Chen almost died of anger after pocketing a penny.

Shun Niang went to the city worriedly. When she came back, she felt like she was facing a formidable enemy. She always felt that there were thieves everywhere.

Shun Niang was holding a large wok, which contained a pot, a pot for boiling water for bathing, and some dishes.

The villagers glanced at them and saw that they were all necessities. Shun Niang was indeed a person who knew how to make a living.

The villagers were very understanding of her cautious attitude, but at the same time they sighed. These pots and pans were not cheap, but they were not so timid for fear of being stolen. It can be seen that the big house lived in a tight life and treated everything as a treasure.

There were a lot of things, so Shun Niang was very sensible and paid more for the car. Li Zheng's son didn't want it, so Shun Niang gave it to him anyway. Her husband said that he couldn't owe the villagers any favors, especially those from Li Zheng's family.

Shun Niang also felt that Li Zheng was not a good person and that favors should not be owed.

As soon as she got home, Shun Niang moved the pots and pans to their room and closed the door mysteriously.

Little Chen curled her lips and said, hum, I really treasured it, I was afraid that she would steal it.

Tsk, how could she possibly attack this pot and bowl with such a huge target? At most, she could steal some oil, soy sauce and salt that cannot be seen.

Shun Niang carefully opened the pot for boiling water, took away a few dishes, and finally took out the well-folded banknotes.

"Husband, look, this is a bank note for thirty taels of silver." She was very excited. "I did as you asked, but the shopkeeper insisted on giving me an extra ten taels of silver. I couldn't refuse..."

Seeing her excited expression, Jiang He was about to speak when he heard Shun Niang's voice filled with tears: "Great, I can ask the old imperial doctor to come and treat your legs."

Women in ancient times were too docile, and any kindness to her would be magnified countless times. Jiang He felt that he would fall in love with this kind and gentle woman.

After Shun Niang calmed down, she asked curiously: "Why is shopkeeper Li so willing to pay for it and even help her husband cover it up?"

"One of the two drawings is a wheelchair, and the other is a stroller." Jiang He explained, "Wheelchairs are for people with limited mobility. People with lame legs like me are rare, and there are many old people with inconvenient legs and feet. , Not to mention, didn’t the Zhang family’s second son fall off his horse a few days ago? But shopkeeper Li is famous for his generosity, and he helped me a lot in the past, so I let him make a lot of money."

Shun Niang was in high spirits, "I went to the old imperial doctor's house. He is busy now, but he has promised me that he will come over as soon as he is free in a few days." Shun Niang's eyes were full of longing. She was extremely worried last night. Today The thirty taels of silver her husband earned made her feel relieved.

"Mom, can dad's leg be saved?" The older girl is more sensible and knows the importance of the old imperial doctor to dad as mom said.

Erniu stared at her father's leg and said, "That's great, Daddy won't feel any pain from now on." Although her father repeatedly said that he didn't feel any pain, it still hurt her even though she was pecked by a chicken and bleeding, and her father's leg bled even more. How could it not hurt.

"Yes, daddy will be able to walk in the future." Shun Niang happily took out the candy and gave it to her two daughters.

The two girls were eating sweets happily. They liked the separation. The stepmother would laugh after the separation, and the father would also love them. They were so happy...
