Chapter 173 Lessons
“Hey, do you think that when the Gu family opens a workshop, they need to hire people to do the work?” He Tieshu said this suddenly.
When everyone heard this, they all stood up and ran towards the Gu family with a cheer.
He Tieshu is right. If the Gu family wants to open a workshop, they will definitely lack manpower to work. They must go to the Gu family quickly to ask for work, so as not to be late and benefit others.
He Tieshu was stunned when he looked at the twenty or so people running towards the old house at the end of the village.
Here, why did all these people run away?
"Come back quickly! The village chief said that you can't force the Gu family. If you make the Gu family anxious, our He family will not be able to get tofu and spices in the future, we will not be able to do business, and we will be poor for the rest of our lives!" He Tieshu shouted at them , but no one paid attention to him, everyone ran to Gu's house like a race.
Someone turned back and shouted to He Tieshu: "Shuzi, don't be stupid. How long will it take for the village chief to help us? We have to wait until that month and year? Why don't we go to Gu family to earn a living and beg tofu by ourselves?"
He Tieshu couldn't stop them. He was afraid that so many of them would go to the Gu family to ask for work and anger the Gu family, so he hurried to the village chief's house to find the village chief.
But the village chief is not at home.
He Liu told him that the village chief took He Dagu and He Dasu to plow the fields.
The village chief He’s family has a paddy field. There was a thunderstorm a few days ago and there was enough water in the field, so he took He Dagu and He Dasu to plow the field.
He Dagu and He Dasu are the nephews of village chief He. Every year when the farming season is busy, the two families work together, which makes it easier.
In previous years, He Dacang would plow the fields, but this year He Dacang would sell tofu and spices. He could earn hundreds of cash for his family a day. Village Chief He was reluctant to let him stop working, so he let him continue selling tofu with his two nephews. Go plow the fields.
When He Tieshu found Village Chief He, Village Chief He was carrying a basket and spreading manure behind He Dugu. In the fields, there are also many people working in the fields.
He Tieshu stood on the ridge of the field and shouted to Village Chief He: "Uncle Village Chief, please go to the Gu family and have a look. He Guangcai and the others heard that the Gu family was going to open a workshop. About twenty people ran to the Gu family saying they were going to ask for money. Work hard.”
"What? They came to the Gu family to ask for a living?" Village Chief He was furious when he heard this. After explaining to He Dugu, he immediately picked up a basket and went to the field ridge and asked He Tieshu: "When did they come?" Went there?"
He Tieshu said: "A quarter of an hour ago."
"A quarter of an hour ago!" Village Chief He was so anxious that it had been so long. By the time he arrived at Gu's house, there had already been a scene.
"Can't these careless people wait patiently? I have already made an agreement with the Gu family, and the Gu family has agreed that if they hire people to do the work, we, the He family, should be invited first. If they go to make such a fuss, the Gu family will be annoyed. Will you give work to our He family?"
"Uncle, I'll go with you." After He Daku handed the rake and plow to He Dasi, he ran to the edge of the field and said to the village chief: "If we go with more than one person, we can calm them down."
The uncle said that after the Gu family has given the He family five hundred kilograms of tofu, they will select two more He families to start the tofu business, and their family is one of them.
Seeing that their family can start a tofu business, if He Guangcai and the others offend the Gu family today, his tofu business will be ruined.
"Okay, let's go quickly." Village Chief He said, not bothering to wash off the mud from his feet, and hurried to Gu's house with He Tieshu and He Dugu.
…
He Guangcai and his group of about twenty people had already gathered outside the Gu family's door. They surrounded the Gu family's courtyard tightly and shouted into the courtyard: "Brother Gu, we know that your family is going to open a workshop. We are all capable people." , if you ask us to do the work, you will not suffer any loss."
"What are you asking for? Who do you think you are? Get out of here and stop crowding around my employer's yard. If you don't get out, I will chop you alive!" He Sanshengzi held a hatchet in one hand and a muddy shovel in the other. , shouted at He Guangcai and the others. He Sanleizi was well-informed. He Guangcai and the others had just arrived at the Gu family, and before they even entered the door, he came to the Gu family to protect the master.
He Guangcai and the others were shocked when they heard what He San Leizi said: "The Gu family asked you to do some work? How much salary will they give you a month?"
"Three hundred coins!" He Sanleizi was very proud and said loudly: "My wife and I have three hundred coins each, and my family has an income of six hundred coins a month."
“Six hundred coins!” These words greatly stimulated He Guangcai and the others.
Why?
He San Leizi is just a bastard. They are better at working than He San Leizi, and they are more honest and keep their duties than He San Leizi. Why should the Gu family invite He San Leizi but not them?
He Sanleizi looked at He Guangcai and the others' sullen expressions, and became even more proud: "My boss has the final say as to who I invite and who I don't invite. It doesn't mean that if you want to work, my employer will invite you. Get out now, or else, I will Let Brother Qin come out and remove your arms one by one, so that you can taste the feeling of dislocating your arms!"
The Qin family lived close to the Gu family. When Qin Sanlang saw He Guangcai and others coming to the door, he immediately climbed over the wall of his own courtyard and entered the Gu family's yard. He wanted to drive them away, but Gu Jinli didn't let them go. He couldn't tell what was going on and wanted to see more.
"San Leizi is right!" Village Chief He ran over panting, stood beside He San Leizi, facing He Guangcai and the others, pointed at them and cursed: "Look at your virtues, you are here to ask for work, Are you here to rob? Get out of here. If you dare to bother the Gu family again, I will drive you out of the village."
He didn’t explain it clearly enough to them at the ancestral hall?
Told them not to be anxious, not to be impatient, and he would go and find a living for them. Now that they have finally managed to talk to the Gu family, they come to the Gu family to pester them, deliberately trying to cut off the He family's livelihood, right?
The He family was still afraid of Village Chief He. They were scolded by Village Chief He and chased away by Mr. He with a shovel. They left soon after.
After they left, the Gu family's courtyard door opened.
Village Chief He hurriedly took He Tieshu and He Dugu into the courtyard and apologized to Gu Dashan and Gu Jinli: "Nephew Dashan, Xiaoyu, are you not scared? Don't worry, I have already scolded them, and they don't dare to come to the door again."
He also said: "When you invite people to do the work, you can invite whoever your family wants. If any family member dares to come and persecute you, the old man will punish him severely."
Village Chief He's words were very sincere, but Gu Dashan still said: "Village Chief, our family will not invite any of those people who just came to our door, only those who did not gather to come to bother us. After your family gets the tofu, Don’t give them the tofu.”
This was what Xiaoyu asked him to say.
Xiaoyu said that people in Dafeng Village have some bad habits that cannot be tolerated and must be eliminated! It was cut until they were frightened, so they would not dare to come to their homes and pester them in the future.
Village Chief He was shocked when he heard that the Gu family wanted to attack He Guangcai and the others to scare those in the village who still wanted to pester the Gu family for benefits.
Village Chief He was very helpless, but he had to agree. After all, it was He Guangcai and the others who came to bother him first: "Okay, I have written this down, don't worry."
Village Chief He apologized to the Gu family and left with He Tieshu and He Dugu.
He Sanleizi hurriedly came over to take credit: "Master, how did I behave just now?"
With his own skill, he stopped He Guangcai and the others with a hatchet and a shovel.
