The house of the village chief's house is made of blue bricks, and the walkway in the yard is also paved with stone bricks. The yard is full of flowers, plants and trees, elegant and exquisite, and the houses are also kept very clean and tidy. This kind of house can be considered It is the only one in the village.
Everyone has seen the world, but now they live in Yazhou and live in a dilapidated thatched house, and they are a little envious of such a blue brick house.
It's just that I don't dare to express this kind of envy.
Although she is the little village chief's wife, everyone still maintains a sense of awe and does not dare to offend her in the slightest.
Therefore, even though a group of people entered the courtyard of the village chief's house, they didn't make much noise.
The village chief's wife led a group of people to the backyard. There was a garment workshop as big as two rooms, with tables and chairs neatly arranged inside.
There were already a group of women making clothes, presumably the women of the convicts who had arrived earlier than them.
It seems that the village chief's family has been responsible for the military's clothing production for a long time, and he is also a shrewd person.
Being able to make clothes for the army not only earned money, but also gained the protection of the army, killing two birds with one stone.
"You all go and wash your hands first, and then sit down and wait for the assignment. General Gu is kind enough to give you two cents for each item." The village chief's wife stopped and stood in front of everyone and spoke.
In the past, this mere two cents would not have been enough. Even if it was sent to a beggar, it would be too shabby.
But now in Yazhou, as a female dependent without any source of income, she can get these two cents. If she works harder and gets four or six cents, she can buy some coarse grains, rice and noodles to fill her stomach. Very good.
Everyone couldn't help but thank General Gu for his kindness.
"You have to work hard and don't slack off. If I find any of you being lazy, not only will you get no wages, but I will also kick her out. The person I kicked out will have no source of livelihood. You'd better think carefully. "The village chief's wife looked at everyone with a stern expression.
"Yes!" Everyone agreed quickly.
"Mr. Li, come and make some arrangements." The village chief's wife waved to a fat middle-aged woman, "Remember to find someone with good craftsmanship to make General Gu's clothes first."
"Yes, don't worry, the old woman knows it well." Mrs. Li patted her plump chest and agreed.
"Mom, didn't you agree that I would make General Gu's clothes?" Shi Lingyin said coquettishly, standing next to the village chief's wife.
Upon hearing this, the village chief's wife secretly gave her daughter a sharp look: "I am short of food or clothing for you, so I want you to compete with them for work."
"Mom, you know I'm not doing this, I..." Shi Lingyin faltered, blushing and lowering his head.
The village chief's wife couldn't help but have a headache, and called Mrs. Li: "I'll leave this to you, I'll go back to my room first."
"Madam, don't worry, just leave it to the old woman." Mrs. Li promised.
"Follow me." The village chief's wife secretly pinched Shi Lingyin's arm and said sternly.
Shi Lingyin reluctantly followed her mother back to the room. The village chief's wife checked around and saw that no one was there. She locked the door tightly and pointed at Shi Lingyin and said sternly: "You are so embarrassing." Damn, I've told you so many times, General Gu is not something you can imagine."
"Why can't it be done?" After hearing her mother's angry rebuke, Shi Lingyin shouted loudly regardless of her image, "I can't do it, so can that fat woman Ding Xiyu do it? Just because Ding Xiyu's father is the governor, do I have to give it to her? "
The village chief's wife was so angry that she raised her hand and slapped Shi Lingyin: "Slap you for your arrogant words."
"You beat me, you beat me to death." Shi Lingyin cried so hard that her makeup was all stained, "Obviously I was the first to know General Gu. General Gu lived in our house when he was young. He was still a... …”
The village chief's wife didn't wait for Shi Lingyin to finish her words, and quickly covered her mouth and said with an unyielding voice: "How many times have I told you that past events are not allowed to be mentioned again. Do you want to kill our whole family?" ?”
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" Shi Lingyin's mouth was covered and she was out of breath from crying.
The village chief's wife quickly released her hand covering her daughter's mouth, caressed her daughter's messy hair lovingly, and comforted: "Lingyin, you are still young, and there are still many opportunities in the future. Now your father is not only in charge of all the big and small things in the village, but also Everything has been appreciated by General Gu, and he has taken on a lot of chores in the army. If you don't have the kind of husband you want when the time comes, don't get carried away temporarily, got it?"
Shi Lingyin wiped her tears vigorously and said unwillingly: "I just like General Gu. Looking at the whole Yazhou, I can't find a better-looking man than him. How can that fat woman Ding Xiyu be worthy of him?"
"Who said there is no more? When your father went to pick up the prisoners that day, he mentioned that one of the prisoners who came this time was a man of both civil and military skills, a dignified appearance, and he was from a noble family. Do you think the governor could learn from the prisoners? Why can't your father recruit a son-in-law? When the time comes, ask your father to recruit a son-in-law from Beijing for you."
"Is there really anyone better looking than General Gu?" Shi Lingyin asked in disbelief, his eyes shining.
"Why are you lying to me? This person from Beijing is different. That person's father was once the prime minister of the dynasty."
The village chief's wife comforted her daughter, and her heart couldn't help but surge: "Your father and I only have one daughter. If our Shi family has the son of the former prime minister as our son-in-law, then your children will definitely be very smart in the future. If we can go to Beijing to take the exam and get the first prize, then our Shi family will be successful and we will no longer have to stay in Yazhou and be a small village chief."
Shi Lingyin was also moved by her mother's words. She covered her chest with both hands and her eyes shone with admiration. A man who was more beautiful than General Gu must be what kind of fairy.
This time, she must firmly grasp the man's heart and prevent him from climbing onto another branch like General Gu.
"You stay in your room and don't go anywhere. Don't look at these prisoners outside. They are treating us like a low-key now. In the past, they were all rich and powerful people in the capital. They were very smart. You can We must not allow them to get hold of anything." The village chief's wife emphasized again and again, lest her unscrupulous daughter ruin the family's affairs.
"I know." Shi Lingyin agreed reluctantly, and picked up a storybook on the bedside and started reading.
Looking at the scene in the book where the hero and heroine are having sex with each other, I can't help but think of the man my mother talked about, and I suddenly became very happy...
Mu Xijin, who was sewing military uniforms in the village chief's workshop, had no idea that her husband had become the object of other women's dreams...
