She walked around from time to time, pointing out this and talking about that, and she seemed to be quite majestic.
Knowing that Hu Yao was going to dig bamboo shoots instead of tea with these children, Li Zhen's smile faded a lot, and she cursed in her heart that she really thought she was a young mistress, instead of doing business to play with a group of children.
"Okay, then go ahead, sister-in-law." Li Zhen nodded impatiently.
It was Hu Yao who had a quiet temperament and was pleasant to others after she got better. After Li Zhen's probing, her desire to please also faded away.
People are just looking for food. Li Zhen felt that Hu Yao was soft-tempered and easy to handle. She didn't think much of Hu Yao's sister-in-law in her heart, and now she looked down upon her even more.
Hu Yao listened to her reluctant tone, and then looked at her face that showed more and more contempt for her. After pouring the last bit of tea, she spoke softly and casually.
"I heard from my aunt that Jiang Han gave them one yuan a day as wages, but Liu Jie quoted two yuan two days ago. How could there be such a difference?"
Nowadays, even if you have the opportunity to work in a factory when you go out, the salary is generally only about thirty yuan a month. Jiang Han hired people to pick tea, and even if he was paid only one yuan a day, there were a lot of neighbors competing for this job.
Not to mention that Jiang Han was more generous in terms of wages than those outside. Obviously Liu Jie and Li Zhenmei were more than half the same.
One person has already drawn so much money, not to mention that Jiang Han will pay them additionally.
Li Zhen paused, and then Hu Yao's reaction was unexpectedly loud, and her voice became much louder with embarrassment: "Brother Han has discussed this salary matter with us. He doesn't know anything. If you don't understand this, you don't need to worry about it! Hurry up! Go dig your bamboo shoots!”
In her words, it was obvious that she did not take Hu Yao seriously, and her current tone was even more obvious and undisguised displeasure.
"Why are you yelling at Yaoyao so loudly!" Jiang Xiaochao said unhappily, protecting Hu Yao. Not to mention Li Zhen yelling at Hu Yao, even if it was his father, he couldn't let it go.
Li Zhen faced him, her face softened, and she was more patient than when she was facing Hu Yao: "Auntie is not yelling at your mother, she just spoke a little hastily."
"Sister-in-law, don't argue with me." As she said that, Li Zhen looked at Hu Yao with a casual smile.
Hu Yao didn't smile back to her as easily as she expected. Instead, she took Jiang Xiaochao's hand and turned away, without any intention of letting her down the stairs.
"Let's go, we're going to dig bamboo shoots. Can we give you shortbread later?" Hu Yao said in a gentle voice to the children.
Li Zhen looked at her walking away with a bad expression on her face. Hu Yao dared to look down on her! She really wants to be held in her arms! ? Don’t even look at what you are!
She is also a prodigal woman, relying entirely on Jiang Han to support her, and she also distributes the things in the house to others. She has been with her so many smiling faces these days, but she has never seen her give her a cent! Stingy thing! Xu Xuzhu knows more about things than she does! Look at the day Jiang Han throws her out and thousands of people sleep with her!
Li Zhen's malice towards Hu Yao was unreasonable. In the past, it was okay if Hu Yao was stupid, but now that she is better, she is even more unpleasant. The most important thing is the jealousy and imbalance of Hu Yao in her heart. .
…
Hu Yao went home and took a small shovel, and then she and a few other kids went to the mountain to dig bamboo shoots.
They can break the thin ones directly, but not the thick ones.
Children always have endless things to talk about. Any little thing can be discussed happily for a long time.
Hu Yao looked at Jiang Xiaochao running among them with a smile, her eyes curled up, and she couldn't help but also smile.
There were bamboo shoots everywhere on the mountain, and the basket was full within a short time.
Although these little guys are small, they can still work.
Hu Yao wiped their little hands one by one, took them home together, and gave them peach cakes as agreed.
"Thank you Yaoyao~!"
"Wow! It's delicious~"
The childish little voices of the few little guys were very happy, chattering and jumping around while gnawing on the cakes.
The children who played with Jiang Xiaochao were all about the same age as him, all three or four-year-old boys, and there was only one little girl.
The little girl is three years old, thin and small, the same age as Jiang Xiaochao, but she looks a bit younger than Jiang Xiaochao.
She spoke in a small voice, and her eyes when looking at Hu Yao were a little timid, but bright.
Hu Yao felt weak and gave her an extra piece of shortbread.
Jiang Han bought several packages of shortbread cookies and had a lot of snacks at home. The daily meals also included fish and meat. The situation at home seemed to be richer than Hu Yao had imagined. Jiang Han did not care about this.
A group of children were at home, making it even more noisy. Hu Yao even braided Xiaoya's hair.
Xiaoya is the only little girl among the few little guys.
She was also a poor child. I heard that her mother passed away not long after giving birth to her. Her father had to work to support the family and could not take care of her as a little girl. The elderly in the family also passed away two years ago.
Hu Yao braided her hair, and she smiled happily, looking at Hu Yao with unconscious admiration. She had not had a mother since she was a child, and she liked Hu Yao very much.
Jiang Xiaochao looked jealous and his mouth was extremely flat.
He squeezed to Hu Yao's side and asked her to tie her hair in pigtails.
Hu Yao smiled to satisfy him and gave him a small prick on the top of his head.
It was only because his little hair was a little long that he could tie it up.
"alright."
Jiang Xiaochao was satisfied.
After the little guys finished eating the shortbread, Hu Yao divided the dug bamboo shoots into pieces and carried them back to her home.
Xiaoya was not very willing to leave. She still clung to Hu Yao with her bamboo shoots in her arms. Jiang Xiaochao chased her away unhappily and domineeringly. She lowered her head and looked very depressed.
Hu Yao coaxed her a few words in a warm voice.
Jiang Han came back and saw this scene. He glanced at Jiang Fuchao's wrinkled face and raised his eyebrows.
When Xiaoya saw him coming back, she didn't need Jiang Xiaochao to rush him away. She was so frightened that she hugged the bamboo shoots and ran very fast, and disappeared in less than a few seconds.
Hu Yao felt a little funny inexplicably and rolled her eyes. Sure enough, even children were afraid of him.
"What are you laughing at?" Jiang Han pinched her chin in displeasure and asked in a deep voice.
He always liked to hold her chin with his hand like this, and the force was not small, making her very uncomfortable.
"I didn't laugh at you." Hu Yao pursed her lips.
"Did I say you laughed at me? You're not asking for it." Jiang Han snorted coldly. The touch of his hands was soft and smooth. He squinted and moved closer to her: "Now you are brave enough to laugh at me."
Hu Yao felt that he was unreasonable, but she knew that he had a recurring and unusual temper. She did not refute or speak, and let him say what he said.
He was used to the way she used to talk back and make trouble, but now the way she endured the frustration and didn't dare to disobey him was still interesting. Jiang Han also meant to tease her on purpose.
He only pinched her chin for a few seconds, leaving obvious red fingerprints. He glanced at it, frowned and thought of something, lifted up the hem of her clothes and looked at her waist twice.
"!!" Hu Yao opened her eyes wide and slowly pressed down on her clothes, slowly blushing: "You, you..."
She blushed and was speechless. Now she was still in the yard, in broad daylight, and he lifted her clothes! Jiang Xiaochao is also still there!
