Chapter 147: Righteous Lao Qin

Su Danhong was slightly embarrassed.

But it was always good to have faith in her, right?

Wheres Aisen? Su Danhong asked. *:. . .:*

Dont worry about Aisen. He can definitely do a good job. If he did not, then I wouldnt have recommended him to you, Aunt Yang assured her.

Su Danhong nodded, The salary is 30 yuan, and there are no meals included. Aunt, remember to tell him that clearly. If he works well, then he will become a long term worker in the future.

Okay, Ill tell him. When will he start? Aunt Yang said at once.

He can come to my house and meet us there at 7:30 tomorrow morning. There will be other people, too, Su Danhong said.

When she left with Qiqi in her arms, Aunt Yang rushed to find her third son.

Yang Aisen was chopping firewood at home. When he saw his mother coming, he said, Mother, you are here. Just now, Yanzi cooked some mung bean soup. Ill scoop a bowl for you.

Aunt Yang was very satisfied. Her third son was much more filial than the eldest son and the second son. She said, No need. I came to talk to you. Didnt you tell me last time to ask Jianyun if there was still a spot?

Hearing this, Yang Aisen sighed. They dont have any spots over there.

Who in the village didnt want to work in the orchard?

The pay was 30 yuan a month. There was also a basket of gifts during the New Years festivities, and you could also take care of your own familys work. As long as you worked hard, you could do both, and it would not be a problem.

The salary of 30 yuan was absolutely the highest salary in their village.

The food in the village was grown by the villagers, and the clothes they wore all year did not need to be changed. Each month, they basically didnt use any money. They had electricity, but they only had to pay a few cents a month for it. Aside from this, they didnt have any expenses.

If they could get a steady salary, they could basically save all of it.

Thirty yuan a month meant 360 yuan a year!

That was a lot of money.

Just look at Xu Aidang and Ji Hongjun. Originally, they were worse off than Yang Aisens family, but now? Their yard had been renovated, and they were living their best life. Yesterday, he saw them go to buy meat. This was the second time they went to buy meat this week!

From not even having enough congee in the past to eating meat twice a week now, what more was there to say?

Thats why he wanted to work, and forced himself to discuss it with his mother. He ended up being very disappointed. There was no space for another worker. Otherwise, he would have certainly fought for it. He thought he would not lose to anyone with his work ethic.

Before, there were no spots. Now, Jianyun has taken over the mountain next door. He wants to plant fruit trees. There will definitely be a lot of work. Su Danhong came to me and said that she had reserved a spot for you. If you want it, then you will be paid 30 yuan a month, not including food and accommodation. If you do a good job, you will be a long term worker in the future, Aunt Yang explained with a smile.

Mother, I can do it. I can do it well! Yang Aisen said immediately.

Aunt Yang said, I know. I agree with you. Tomorrow, you will go to Jianyuns house at 7:30. Jianyun will explain everything.

Okay! Yang Aisen responded.

After Aunt Yang finished talking about that, she asked, Wheres your wife?

Yanzi took Sanya to pick tomatoes in the field and to sell them in the county town. Yang Aisen said.

What money can be earned from selling tomatoes? Let her take care of the fields. As for Sanya, she is almost at the age to go to school, Aunt Yang said.

Yeah, Ill send her to school this year. Yang Aisen nodded.

Work hard in the future. Its a job thats better than anything else youve had. Jianyun and Danhong are kind and wont treat you badly, Aunt Yang advised.

Mother, you can be rest assured. Who in the village doesnt believe in them? Yang Aisen smiled.

If the village wanted to say who had the best reputation, then it had to be Ji Jianyun and Su Danhong.

Even the children in the village, including his daughter, praised their uncle Jianyun and aunt Danhong. Why? Its because the mountains also allowed the children to work.

The children worked. They could pick fruit every morning before school, and they could help with the weeding during the weekends when they didnt have school. They would be paid and have food to eat. Otherwise, they could get eggs.

"

"

This was undoubtedly a glorious and beautiful life for the children in the village.

Some of them worked very hard. On average, they could earn one egg a day.

There were also many strawberries for them to eat. If they ate them and Ji Jianyun was around, he would tell them to take some back for their siblings at home.

So when the children in the village talked about Ji Jianyun, they had a very good impression of him.

Speaking of Ji Jianyun, he was now in the county town. *:*: . : *:*

When Lao Qin heard that he had taken over a mountain, he gave him a thumbs up. Jianyun, you can do it!

Ji Jianyun smiled and said, I dont know if I can do it. You have to choose the saplings for me.

Leave it to me, Lao Qin said, and he immediately patted him on the chest. Its too late today. Tomorrow Ill take my truck and find you. Lets go together. Ill pick out some good ones for you. Itll be as good as last time.

Okay, Ji Jianyun agreed. Hows business now? Are strawberries selling well?

They are selling really well. All the goods from you sell well, Lao Qin said with a huge smile. Theres nothing the customers dont like once they eat it.

Thats great. This business is going well. Ill see if it can be expanded in the future. I think there are many big shopping malls in the college town. Maybe you can also grow there in the future, Ji Jianyun said.

I dont know when thatll be, said Lao Qin with a smile. Im happy that I can support my family the way I am right now.

For men, they didnt have to work hard before they got married. When they got married, they had to think about whether the family could bear the consequences of failure.

When they were not married, they could do whatever they wanted. They didnt have to worry about their entire family going hungry, just themselves. Once they were married, the whole family relied on them.

Ji Jianyun finished what he had to do and went back.

Zhang Xueli said to Lao Qin, You cant talk big like that. Dont you know that you should hide it? If you talk like that, what will you do if he raises the price on you in the future?

Its normal for the price to rise. If Jianyun raises the price, then the price of what we sell will also increase. Either way, we wont lose, Lao Qin said without thinking.

Now, everything was going up. Jianyuns products were so good that it would be unusual if he didnt increase the price. Recently, he was considering whether he should increase it.

Zhang Xueli didnt dare to stay on this topic for too long, so she asked, Next year, you will go help them for free?

Hearing her tone, Lao Qin immediately pushed back, What are you trying to say? If my brother asks me for help, what else can I do? Jianyun lent me 2,000 yuan to buy this shop. Why havent I heard you say something good about Jianyun?

Zhang Xueli looked at how his face darkened and promptly said, I dont mean anything else. I just wanted to talk about it.

Its no good talking about it. Im telling you now, if youre not happy, then you can go back to Lao Zhangs house. Otherwise, you can shut up. If you gossip again, Ill drive you straight back there! Lao Qin warned.

Zhang Xueli was scared to death. She had basically cut off all relationships with her maternal family, so how could she go back? Where could she even go? She didnt dare to say anything else.

Lao Qin scared her and didnt heed her. He told her to watch over the shop. He went out to collect the fruits and vegetables to be sold tomorrow.

Produce like tomatoes, luffa, and cucumbers could be collected in advance. If these vegetables were ready, they could be collected first. Anyway, it had to be done in the next few days. Jianyun was rarely in the county town, so Lao Qin naturally had to hurry up with the collecting.
