According to what Roche said, being scolded to such an extent, if she did not rush up to fight with Madam Lee, Lu Jinfeng and the others, then she would have left. Madam Liu and Lu Daquan, the old and the weak, were both timid.
"Hahahaha, look at those people. They look so dejected, like a stray dog!"
"Don't be so vicious with your words. No matter what, you are still a person. But I feel that you are indeed like a dog!"
"Sigh, these people are so bastards. Do they know how Madam Lee and Lu Jinfeng have been doing all these years?"
"He has already forced Lu Dayi to his death, and almost caused the death of Madam Lee and Lu Jinfeng. They even dared to come knocking on his door to confess to him. Their courage is commendable."
"This is the first time in my life that I've seen such a shameless family. If it were my elders or my little brother, I wouldn't have been able to resist attacking them!"
"Even though the Madam Lee and Lu Jinfeng are junior, if the elders are like this, they should be unfilial. I think that if Lu Dayi knew in the afterlife, he wouldn't blame the both of them for what they did, right?"
"In my opinion, not only is it not weird, it's even clapping and cheering! Such a close relative would be able to piss Lu Dayi off. "
"Pah pah pah! The dead are the leaders! Don't speak nonsense. It's better if the living are alive!"
… ….
Madam Lee and Lu Jinfeng chased away Madam Liu and the rest. Although there were a few people who were at odds with them and started to talk behind their backs about Lu Jinfeng's family being unfilial, some rational people started to agree with their actions. Thus, Qiao Qing's new house for the day was filled with wine, which was drunk to the brim.
Especially Madam Lee. She vented out all the grievances that she had been suppressing in her heart for so many years, feeling extremely intoxicated from the pleasure.
It was rare for so many enthusiastic villagers to gather together, so Chen Mu Mu Mu continued to chat with them.
One month ago, Lu Jinfeng and the Madam Lee were still being bullied until they couldn't live anymore, poor to the point that they couldn't even eat. One month later, not only were there meals with meat and vegetables, they were also living in the broadest and most awe-inspiring house in the village.
Thus, everyone in the village began to learn from Chen Mu and Lu Jinfeng.
Chen Mu only knew that she was cooperating with the Feather Workshop's sale, but no matter how much the villagers asked, they would not say anything. If she told others about her method of getting rich, there would inevitably be people jealous enough to cause trouble, and she would not act quickly.
However, she couldn't tell the villagers that she was working with the Shangguan family. She was willing to tell others other ways to get rich, as she lacked the manpower.
If Chen Mu wanted to start a new business, he would have to make some food and sell it in the town. Once he made a name for himself, he would set up a food store.
"Chen Little Girl, you think too much. There are countless hawkers selling snacks in the town, and most of them have familiar faces. Why should we sell first?"
"Restaurant inns also often have some specialty dishes. There are a lot of customers in the restaurant, ordinary people can't afford to eat snacks, but our guests won't buy snacks like us."
"All the food that we commoners cook is for ourselves. This town is a small town with almost no guests from outside. Most of the people in this town are already tired of us eating these things. Chen Little Girl, if you want to think about it, it's really not easy to sell. "
"If you can't sell these snacks on the same day, they will turn sour overnight. Then the cost will be even worse."
The villagers were all intensely discussing, but almost all of them voted against it. Almost no one agreed with Chen Mu's new idea for business.
Of course, there were also those who disagreed, such as the families who helped her fish, such as Bai Xiulin.
The few families who were in the fishing industry were opposed to this because of their close relationship with each other. If Chen Mu Mu Mu's business was not successful, they would not be able to sell their fish, but Bai Xiulin …
Chen Mu Mu looked at Bai Xiulin with astonishment: "Why does everyone think that my idea is bad, but you agree that I should do it?"
Bai Xiulin laughed, "Because I feel that you have a good sense of business, Chen Mu Mu Mu, as long as you do what you want, you will definitely win."
These words were flattery, and extremely perfunctory, but in Bai Xiulin's eyes, Chen Mu saw a flash of cunning.
Zhang Xuan was moved.
Some things couldn't be said in person. After all, there were still so many people around.
She smiled and then put Bai Xiulin aside.
As the tables were set up for the evening, the villagers left one by one. Chen Mu Mu Mu finally found the chance to catch Bai Xiulin alone.
"Say it, why are you supporting me in the dim sum business?"
Bai Xiulin raised her delicate eyebrows and looked at her with a beaming smile. "Chen Mu Mu Mu, you are quite special. With so many people opposing you, could it be that you are unhappy with someone supporting you?"
"Of course I'm happy that someone is supporting me, but you, Bai Xiulin, do not seem to be purely supporting me." If she didn't even have this little bit of insight, she wouldn't have been able to stay in the mall for so many years. She slightly pursed her lips, "You might as well tell me what your intentions are. You'll have to say it sooner or later anyway."
Her impression of Bai Xiulin was not bad. Ever since she came to Lu Jinfeng's home, she had encountered many people who mocked her and made things difficult for her. Although Bai Xiulin didn't know the reason why she helped, she was willing to help. Anyone who was willing to lend a hand in times of trouble wouldn't be able to hate them.
"You're so interesting. I can't hide anything from you." Bai Xiulin's beautiful lips curled up and her eyes sparkled, as if she was saying, "Don't worry, my plan is very simple. I also need to provide for my family.
"Child, if you don't mind, you can recruit me as your helper. I've heard that you need some helpers recently."
Bai Xiulin's news was indeed well-informed.
Chen Mu Mu pursed his lips, his eyes looking at Bai Xiulin from head to toe, with a calculating look in his eyes.
Seeing her expression, Bai Xiulin laughed until her cheeks revealed her dimples, "Rest assured, I really just want to find a job, not work here, I also want to help others work. My hands and feet are nimble, I can make many things, aren't you going to consider it? "
Chen Mu Mu couldn't help but pucker his lips. These days, Mao Zedong had already been recommended himself, but this Mao Zedong really did look smart and intelligent.
Chen Mu Mu pondered for a moment before replying, "Then come to my house tomorrow and help me. Five hundred copper coins a month. If you do well, I'll give you a raise."
She might not be able to give him anything else, but if it was just a job, she would gladly accept it. After all, she was severely lacking people right now.
The villagers did not believe that her food business could sell for money and did not dare to spend too much time on her. Even if she could settle the bill and hire people to help, it was not a long term plan. She needed a smart, nimble assistant who would be willing to work as a labourer.
Bai Xiulin's arrival had given them coal in the middle of a snowstorm.
"Five hundred copper coins?" Even someone as calm as Bai Xiulin was startled, "Chen Mu Mu Mu, did you say something wrong?"
500 copper coins was half a tael of silver. An average family's income was only a tael of silver. Now that she was helping Chen Mu Mu Mu, how could she only earn half a tael of silver a month?
Was she still dreaming?
"I know what I'm saying. You didn't mishear me. Five hundred copper coins a month." Chen Mu paused, "Of course, you have to stay here for a long time to help."
Her business would only get bigger and bigger. Moreover, she didn't lack a few taels of silver. With such a rare talent, she didn't need to be stingy with her money.
"No problem, I will definitely work hard." Bai Xiulin laughed until her eyes were almost narrowed into slits, the two dimples on her cheeks were extremely mesmerizing, she promised sincerely, "I will work here for a long time, even if I have to marry someone, I will bring my husband here."
Her straightforward words actually made Chen Mu choke.
Right now, she only needed Bai Xiulin as her talent. As for Bai Xiulin's husband … She didn't think that far.
Besides, maybe … Bai Xiulin's husband was the one who got the better of him.
Then their whole family would have to work for her.
He did not know why he had that thought, but he felt disappointed and waved at Bai Xiulin, "Today is the first day, go back and rest, tomorrow you will come back to work."
"Alright." Bai Xiulin promised as she happily left.
Lu Jinfeng appeared out of nowhere and asked: "Why did you recruit her?"
"Bai Xiulin is a pretty good girl, she is clever, capable, and nimble. Don't you like her?" Chen Mu Mu asked.
"No, she's fine." Although Lu Jinfeng had a cheap mouth, he still understood that it was not black and white. Bai Xiulin had helped them so many times, he would not slander Bai Xiulin behind her back.
When Chen Mu heard his reply, the smile on his lips deepened. "Since I like it, but I don't want to recruit her, it's not a matter of limbs being slow. Then, could it be that Bai Xiulin's reputation in the village is very bad, and isn't worth it for us to recruit him?"
"No." Lu Jinfeng answered with a slightly embarrassed and strange expression. After hesitating for a bit, he said, "white girl is fine with it, but... You'd better not hire her. "
"He really is a heartless guy. white girl has helped us so much in this period of time, don't tell me you didn't take him seriously? Right now, white girl needs a job to support his family. We can help but you want to keep him out and watch him starve to death? " Chen Mu's face hardened as he angrily rebuked Zhang Xuan.
"No, I just think …" Lu Jinfeng stammered. He wanted to say the reason, but he couldn't.
"Feel what?" Chen Mu Mu Mu didn't plan on letting him off, as he asked in an aggressive manner.
"I feel that the fact that the white girl stays with us all the time is not good for her reputation." Lu Jinfeng was forced by her to such an extent that he had to bite the bullet in the end.
"Bad for her reputation?" Chen Mu Mu Mu was startled, then reacted, and started laughing uncontrollably: "Lu Jinfeng, you can't be taking what white girl said seriously, right? Do you think the white girl is not willing to get along with her because she wants to court you? "
Lu Jinfeng blushed and did not speak.
Chen Mu laughed till his feet touched the ground, and for some reason, he knew that Lu Jinfeng was against Bai Xiulin's pursuit, and secretly rejoiced in his heart.
She laughed carefree, causing Lu Jinfeng's blushing face to turn black. Only then did she support her waist, laughing as she said: "Lu Jinfeng, don't think that you're being sentimental too much. What white girl said earlier in the day was only a joke, you don't have to take it as the truth."
After pausing for a moment, his gaze continued to linger on Lu Jinfeng's body for a moment, "Actually, if you really want to take it seriously, it's not impossible. You and white girl can also be considered to be the talents of men and women. They say that once we meet in the water tower, you will get the moon. Living together for a long time, if you have feelings for each other, it would be a good thing. "
