That afternoon, Ms. Zhao settled on three people with a salary of five nests a day, which made Old Mrs. Gu angry and cursed in a roundabout way in the yard.
"Mom, didn't Xiaoqi ask someone to bring a tael of silver to the family yesterday? How many nests were bought too! Besides, it's better to collect them quickly and grind them into flour quickly. It's not the middle of winter. Is it even more troublesome?" Gu Youcai came out of the room and pulled Mrs. Gu to persuade her.
Gu Youcai was in favor of Zhao finding someone to collect grain. Every time the harvest was harvested, the boss, Gu Wensheng, would stay in town for various reasons and not come back. Not to mention how envious he was. Now that he is better, he can finally experience the feeling of watching others work with his hands behind his back.
But Mrs. Gu doesn't think so: "What you said is quite simple. There are a total of fifteen nests in that day! So, you go and tell her that you are going to lay off one person, so you can save five nests in one day." !”
Gu Youcai: "..."
"Mom, they took five cornbreads a day, what if they don't work! My son can't keep an eye on them!"
"No need." Mrs. Gu waved her hand and said with a risk-taking look: "Mom, go! Let's see who dares to be lazy then!"
Gu Youcai: "..."
"Mom! How old are you? How can you still do this job? If you go, won't you let others poke your son's spine?"
Gu Jiu: "..."
Gu Youcai said as he helped Old Mrs. Gu back to the house: "You have a rest, my son will go see if they are lazy!" As he spoke, the person ran out of the door.
Since the original owner's father left, Gu Youcai has barely taken care of the land. The harvest cannot be said to be the worst, but it is also the worst. Currently, three people are hired to work together, and all the food is collected in less than three days.
Mrs. Gu looked at the food in the yard and couldn't believe that this was all.
"Mom, my son was watching at that time. They didn't steal our food." Gu Youcai stretched out his hand to stop Mrs. Gu with a look of helplessness on her face.
"Impossible! There is no locust plague this year, how can it be possible to have the same harvest as there is a locust plague! Get out of the way quickly, it will be difficult to settle the score if it is too late!"
Gu Youcai thought it was embarrassing and refused to let anyone leave.
"Mom, please rest, can't you go with your son?"
"Mom, go with you!"
"How can any elder come forward for such a thing? Mother, haven't you lost your status?"
The two were in a stalemate for a long time, and when Mrs. Gu was about to nod in agreement, Mr. Gu shouted from the room: "If you have money, come in."
"Your father is calling you. Come into the house quickly. Mom can go alone."
Gu Youcai looked at Mrs. Gu who was about to go out, then at Mr. Gu who was already standing in front of the window, and finally sighed and entered the house.
It was impossible to steal food. Mrs. Gu would not be so weak as to go to other people's homes to ask for food. Gu Jiu originally thought that Mrs. Gu would return without success, but he didn't expect that she would come back with eighteen nests.
"Mom, you, are you bringing back the nest we gave to others?" Gu Youcai looked at the nest and asked in disbelief. He gave this nest to others. How can he see anyone now that he wants to come back? .
"That's right, that group of people said they didn't steal. If they didn't steal, could they use the nest to compensate?" Mrs. Gu said as she proudly entered the house with the nest.
Gu Youcai opened his mouth, was stunned for a moment, turned around and entered the house, and was out the door within two minutes. At the same time, a strange man entered the courtyard with a small piece of pork in his hand.
