Chapter 424: letter
Chapter 424 Letter
The people in Gu's workshop were busy for a long time, and finally moved all the things in the workshop into the Lu family's mansion.
From today on, this house will be officially renamed Gu’s Workshop.
After moving the workshop, everyone rested for two-quarters of an hour. Third Grandpa and Gu Dashan brought the prepared money. Gu Jinan took out the account book and began to pay wages to the workers in the workshop.
Today is the end of the month. It is not only the day when wages are paid to the workers, but also the day when several families share the money, so everyone is very excited.
The Lu family were even more excited than they were. Ever since they moved the workshop, many Lu family members had gathered around to watch. Knowing that Gu's workshop was getting paid today, they started to talk about it: "You guys think, what can the He Dazhuang family do this time?" How much are you paid?"
"I think I can get more than ten taels no matter what."
"What's more than ten taels? He Yang has nearly ten taels of silver for grinding spices by himself. No matter how big the wages are for grinding beans with his boy, the whole family's wages must be at least fifteen taels."
"Fifteen taels! Oh, this is too much. One month's work can equal our income for several years. This, this is so unfair. The He family is almost starved to death. Our Lu family is a I couldn’t work in Gu’s workshop either.”
“What can be done about this? It’s not the fault of Lu Zhudan’s family. If it weren’t for his family’s misdeeds, our Lu family would definitely be able to work in Gu’s workshop. Now we can only watch and can’t do anything.”
"Why are we just allowed to watch? Can't we work in Gu's workshop? We are all from the same village, and Gu's workshop has even moved to our mansion. If we go to seek work, the Gu family will have to Give it."
"Ah! Who do you think you are? Why should we give you work in our workshop?" He Sanlei took a big stick and chased the Lu family around the Lu family's mansion: "This place has been bought by the Gu family, and now it is Gu's Workshop, the land you are standing on belongs to Gu's Workshop, get out now, if you don't get out, I will collect money from you, do you have any money to give?"
Then he said: "Don't think that I don't know what you are planning. Think about Lu Jinggui, and then think about yourselves. How many bad things have your Lu family done with Lu Zhudan over the years? Are you clean? You still want to come to work in our workshop, and then If you dare to take advantage of our workshop, we will report it to the official and let you accompany Lu Jinggui!"
Lu Jinggui is Lu Tianya's father and Mr. Lu's cousin. He has the closest relationship with Mr. Lu's family. Because he helped Mr. Lu's family do evil things, the family saved a lot of money.
It's a pity that after Mr. Lu's family collapsed, Lu Jinggui was arrested by the government within a few days. They said he was an accomplice and was sentenced to exile. Eighty percent of the family's property was also taken away, leaving only a dilapidated dirt yard and two acres of dry land.
Lu Jinggui’s wife took Lu Tianya’s sister and brother to live in a dirt yard, and they cried and wiped their eyes every day.
"Three scoundrels, who are you driving away? We don't have any bad intentions. We just know that Gu's workshop will move into the Lu family's mansion today, so we came to see the excitement. Don't worry, Village Chief He and Uncle Eighteen have already told us We are not allowed to cause trouble to Qin Gu Luotian's family, nor are we allowed to work in Gu's workshop noisily. If we are disobedient, we will be driven out of the village. We are not stupid, and we will not let our family end up like He The same fate as Twee's family."
Uncle Eighteen is Lu Gensheng, who is also the current head of the Lu family.
The previous patriarch of the Lu family was Mr. Lu. After Mr. Lu and his family were arrested, the Lu family made Lu Gensheng the new patriarch according to seniority.
He Sanshengzi snorted coldly: "As long as you know it. Get out now. The two acres of land around the Lu family's mansion belong to the Gu family. If you dare to stand on my employer's land, I will be rude to you. If you want to stand, stand there." Two acres away.”
The Lu family was so powerful that when they built this house, they bought two acres of open space around the house in one go in order to prevent the villagers from climbing on the walls to see the condition of the Lu family's mansion. Now this vacant land is cheaper for Gu Jinli's family.
The Lu family had no choice but to stand outside two acres of land and watch the workers in Gu's workshop receive their completion wages and go home with smiles one by one. He Dazhuang's wife had a particularly loud voice and said to the people who were grinding spices with her: "I won't go shopping with you in the town tomorrow. I bought all the things for my family two days ago. I have to go back to my parents' house tomorrow. .”
He Tugou's daughter-in-law asked: "Why are you going back to your parents' house? Hey, is it possible that the marriage of the eldest son in your family has been completed?"
"Hahaha, what's the matter? It's not like the head of my natal village celebrated his birthday and specially invited my family to a birthday banquet. Even though he is the head of my natal village, we still have to give him face." He Dazhuang's daughter-in-law smiled. It was earth-shattering, and the words he spoke were even more embarrassing. After hearing this, the Lu family here all rolled their eyes.
Someone from the Lu family said sourly: "The He Dazhuang family is really rich. The eldest son is actually able to marry the village chief's family in Yang Zigou. Look at the proud look on the He Yang family. I wish I could spread the word about it." Everyone in the village knows it.”
Some Lu family members sighed: "If my family could be like He Dazhuang's family, with an income of more than ten taels of silver a month, and my son could marry a girl from the village chief's family, I would be proud of it."
The Lu family stayed around the Lu family's mansion to watch the bustle for most of the day, and they dispersed near the evening.
Several families got a lot of dividends this month. The Lei Family Caravan, Mr. Qi, Fu Tailou, and Liang Zhuzi all took away thousands of kilograms of spices from them every month, and the money they made was getting bigger and bigger.
Ms. Chen saw that everyone was sharing money, but she didn’t have any. She wanted to die. After returning home, he pulled Gu Yumei out and scolded her again: "It's all your fault, you **** girl. If you hadn't beaten Mrs. Xu, our family would have received dividends this month. Now it's fine, we have to wait until eight At the end of the month, how will we celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival? We have to borrow money again!"
Gu Yumei has already received the letter of appointment from the Wan family, and is officially engaged to the Wan family. She feels that she will soon become a young mistress, a scholar's wife, or even an official's wife, and she doesn't care about Chen's beatings and scoldings.
It’s just that she forgot that her family had no money, so the Mid-Autumn Festival celebrations were not decent...
While Mrs. Chen was scolding Gu Yumei at home, Gu Jinli was busy at home, cooking five grilled fishes, sending three to the Qin family for Qin Sanlang, and eating the remaining two at home.
Qin Sanlang was very happy to get the grilled fish. Ever since Xiaoyu knew that he loved grilled fish, she would make him some grilled fish every time he came back from a break.
Mr. Qin looked at Qin Sanlang with a smile in his eyes and ate the grilled fish with a smile... As long as the children are happy.
Qin Erlang doesn't eat, he only eats braised meat and roast duck sent by Gu Daya's family.
After the Qin brothers finished eating, they returned to the county town with Luo Wu.
That night, the Qin brothers did not return to the military station. Instead, they entered the county town and found an inn to stay.
At dawn, the two brothers left the inn, Qin Erlang looked out, and Qin Sanlang sneaked into Zou's house and put a letter in Zou Jiang's house.
Half an hour later, Zou Jiang woke up on time, and the first thing he saw was the letter on the desk by the window.
