Chapter 108： Assign work to Mr. Li

An Yongren and the old couple traveled around for a whole day before arriving at Chen's natal home before dark.

As soon as Ma got off the cart, he rushed forward aggressively and banged the door, "An Yongzhong, get out of here!"

The courtyard door opened in response, and all the Chen family came out.

The leader, Father Chen, looked at the three An family members with a puzzled look on his face, "My father-in-law, my mother-in-law, why are you here?"

Ma stretched his neck to look into the courtyard, trying to squeeze in, "Let that stinky An Yongzhong get out!"

"Yongzhong? He's not here!" Chen's father was surprised and frowned slightly, "What's going on? What happened?"

"You" Ma was about to argue with Chen's father when An Gaolin rushed over and covered his mouth.

An Gaolin said in a good voice: "Yongzhong had a conflict with his mother-in-law. His mother-in-law ran away with the child in anger. Yongzhong chased her and didn't go back for several days. Didn't his mother-in-law go back to her parents' home?"

"No! How could I not know if my daughter comes back?" Mother Chen's eyes widened in shock, she stepped forward and pushed Father Chen away, and asked: "How could you not tell me about such a big thing until now? I Where is my daughter? And my grandson, how are they?"

The shock and anger on Mother Chen's face was not fake. The protective look on her face scared An Gaolin so much that he dwarfed her body. Even Hun Buqing Ma was a little short of breath at the moment, but she still murmured stiffly: "Who? Know if they are really not in it!"

Mother Chen turned sideways angrily, stepped forward and pulled Ma into the door aggressively, "Come! Search for yourself to see if anyone is here. If not, you must give us an explanation today! My good daughter has been lost by you. Yes, you must give me an explanation!"

There are only a few rooms in the Chen family, and they are all numbered. You can tell if there is anyone hiding in the room. With Chen's mother being so open-minded, An Gaolin has nothing to doubt. However, the Ma family does not believe in evil and actually follows Chen. My mother went from room to room until she had nothing to say.

Mother Chen aimed her artillery fire at An Gaolin and his wife, yelled at them, and blocked the door to prevent them from leaving.

The villagers all rushed over after receiving the news, and helped the Chen family to block the path of the three An family members.

An Gaolin and his son were so anxious that they broke out in cold sweat. Ma was hiding behind them and didn't even dare to fart.

A group of people spent the whole night, and seeing that there was no way to continue like this, An Gaolin had to keep apologizing and repeatedly promised to get the person back, and then the Chen family reluctantly let them go.

On the way, Mr. Ma kept cursing, "A white-eyed wolf, a troublemaker. If I had known better, I shouldn't have married such an unreasonable family. When I find them, I will definitely ask Ah Zhong to divorce Mrs. Chen."

“That’s enough! It’s useless to talk so much, it’s more practical to think about where to find someone!”

An Gaolin is so worried! In the past, with An Yongzhong's monthly money, the family could still make ends meet. Without An Yongzhong's monthly money, his meager monthly money would not be enough to support his young son's education, let alone support a large family. He still has to pay off the foreign debt of two taels of silver, which is simply forcing him to death!

The An family's big house is in dire straits. An Yongliang has already found a suitable place to stay with his family of four in Songxi Town. It is not far from the small courtyard rented by Yang Datou. The layout of the courtyard is similar, and the price is 80 cents a month.

With the pressure of rent there, An Yongliang did not dare to be idle. Before the work in Pingshangou started, he started working in his old business in Songxi Town to familiarize himself with the environment.

With grandma helping to take care of the children, Mrs. Hu was not idle and began to go out to repair and wash the clothes.

February has arrived in a blink of an eye, and the snow has begun to melt. It is said that spring is very cold, and the temperature outside is actually lower than that during the Spring Festival. Jiang Ning thought of the bark hay that he had put in the stream before. It was probably almost soaked, so he hurried over to fish it out.

The hay is almost ready for use, but the bark is still very tough and cannot be used for making paper.

After cleaning these things and bringing them home, she asked Zhou for help, buying several large water tanks and placing them in the yard. First, she added the soaked bark hay to the shell ash, boiled it for two days and nights, and removed it. The impurities inside are then spread out to dry, a process that takes more than half a year.

The villagers knew that she was tinkering with tree bark and thought she was going to make something rare. After watching for several days, they didn't see the bark being turned into valuables. Instead, they saw Jiang Ning scattering shell ash into the ground. They all shook their heads. He secretly muttered that the Jiang family was a prodigal.

These rumors reached Mr. Li’s ears, but Mr. Li did not immediately come to question him as before, but continued to live his life calmly.

The villagers asked in confusion.

Ms. Li chuckled and said, "Since the death of my eldest son, my eldest daughter-in-law has never done anything ridiculous. I believe her!"

After hearing this, Jiang Ning smiled slightly, took the things to the old house, and said to Mr. Zhou: "Erdan and the others have a full schedule of work this year. He will have no time to spend in the workshop. I plan to expand the workshop and then Set up a yard and ask the villagers to help break adobe bricks and burn floor tiles and tiles. Now this workshop is specially used to burn shell ash.

I have found someone who can make shell ash, but there is still a shortage of people for other jobs. If you are available, please help me ask my mother-in-law if there is anyone reliable in the village who can do this job. Please help me find someone. "

Zhou's eyes lit up and she pointed at herself, "Sister-in-law, do you think I can do it? Although I'm not as strong as men, I can still do the work of breaking adobe bricks."

Jiang Ning smiled lightly and nodded, "Let's first agree that ten adobe bricks cost one penny, and they have to be inspected and passed. Is that okay?"

“It’s done! It’s an easy job!”

Zhou was overjoyed. After Jiang Ning left, she immediately took her children to the west of the village and told Mrs. Li the situation, "Mom, my sister-in-law said, ten pieces of adobe are worth a penny. As long as anyone in the village can do this work, no matter what She wants it, regardless of gender or age. I heard that my sister-in-law wants you to check it out!"

"Let me come?" Ms. Li was stunned, her heart beating violently, "Is this really what you said?"

Mrs. Zhou pursed her lips and said, "Sister-in-law didn't say it clearly, but I heard that this is what she said. Auntie, if you are worried, you can go to sister-in-law and ask carefully. She said that she will get another one next to the workshop. When I came out of the yard, I thought that I would have to wait until spring sowing before starting work, so there was no rush.”

"How can we not be in a hurry! I'll go and ask him right away." Li couldn't sit still and ran to the east of the village.

Mrs. Zhou was afraid that she would fall, so she quickly followed her.

When the two came to Jiang Ning's house, Li asked: "Da Tou mother, are you really planning to hire people from the village to work?"

Jiang Ning nodded affirmatively, "I not only need manpower, but also many people. They all belong to the same village. It's not easy to go around the village and hire people from outside. But my mother-in-law also knows that I have a bad reputation. People in the village may not necessarily say what I say." Listen, and as a widow, I am not suitable to deal with those men. After thinking about it, my father and mother are suitable to help me.

But my father has to lead a team to build a house, so he has to work hard for my mother. Don’t worry, I won’t let you help in vain. I will give you money to start the work. You only need to help me keep an eye on the people who are doing the work and check the adobe bricks. Good or bad, just pay them wages. "
