Ms. Zhou let out a sigh of relief and said with a smile, “I don’t work that much and I am still getting paid. Now that I have work to do, I can’t get extra payment this time.”
Qiao Xuan laughed. “You have helped us a lot! Without your help, we would not have harvested the rice so smoothly.”
The tenants had no idea who on earth Shao Yunduan and Qiao Xuan were, except that they were from outside the village. But for the couple who watched them doing the harvest, they might not have been honest in their efforts. Some might even have harvested some to their own home first.
But during the harvest, there was always someone who was watching them work.
Ms. Zhou and Ding Erzhu were both quite embarrassed. “That is what we ought to do!”
After Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan left, Qiao Xuan still believed that the payment was quite low. She smiled at Shao Yunduan. “If all goes well after we are done, we can even give the red packets to each laborer. I think 50 won should be good enough, what do you think?”
Shao Yunduan nodded and said to her, “You can spread the news around, so they may work harder for that goal.”
Qiao Xuan’s eyes brightened as she chuckled. “Yeah, they should be motivated enough not to cause any trouble or allow anyone else to cause trouble.”
Shortly after Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan were gone, Ding Erzhu went to visit the Land Officer of the Zhang Village.
The Land Officer always believed that Ding Erzhu was Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan’s relatives, so he treated him very politely. They had a very smooth and happy conversation during the deal.
Qiao Xuan knew that the local hooligans had some reputation in the village, and the Land Officer of the local area should be given some extra benefits for containing them.
When the Land Officer got the benefits, Qiao Xuan would get him to hire the villagers to work for him so he could be pleased too.
Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan went back to the town, fetched what they left at Manager Qin i s place and headed home.
Bull cart was a bit slow and Qiao Xuan smiled. “When the new house is built, let’s buy a donkey cart for faster traveling.”
When the new house was built, they would have a lot of space to put the donkey cart as well.
They could not think about buying a wagon, since it was quite difficult to obtain.
Even those rich people in town would not be able to afford a horse sometimes.
When they went back home, they shared the presents with the whole family. Those presents were of different categories, including clothes, food, and daily necessities.
Ms. Fang smiled with a sigh. “We all have savings, and we can buy what we need ourselves. You don’t have to buy us anything. You and Yunduan should save money for future use.”
Ms. Fang firmly believed that her son would make it to the next level and his studying would cost a lot of money.
Qiao Xuan smiled. “Don’t worry, Mom. We barely spend any money, and we have savings as well. Also, we are making a lot of money too, right?” Ms. Fang chuckled. “True, and that is all because you helped us with it!”
Ms. Xu was very delighted. She had been thinking about making winter clothes, either with her own money or the shared savings. But Qiao Xuan had brought so many materials home, even cotton! That saved her a lot of money.
Yang Xiaoni was glad too. She placed the garment on herself. asking her
