Generals take care of their children: The master mother leads the system to farm

Liu Tiechui and his brother Liu Dajiang were distributing monthly wages to the residents of the village.

One tael per household is not a small amount. In modern times, it is worth more than a thousand yuan. If it is converted into more than a thousand copper coins, it can buy a lot of things.

Sister Lin and Sister Ma received the silver and money and huddled together to chat.

"I thought we had met a new master who didn't care about our lives. Now it seems that I was wrong!" Sister Lin said to Aunt Ma with a smile.

Aunt Ma patted Sister Lin on the shoulder and said, "Don't make a fuss every day. We are servants. We have to follow the master's orders. You have no right to argue."

"Look at Tiechui's family. They are quiet and just focus on their work. This is the kind of person the master likes to have by his side to serve him."

Mrs. Lin was so embarrassed by what she said. She has always been a big mouth and she knows this problem of hers, but she just can't control herself.

"Aunt Ma is right. We will change it later. We will change it later."

Aunt Ma just shook her head after hearing this. If she could change, she wouldn't be scolded and hated by her mother-in-law all day long.

The families were not far away from each other, and if they spoke loudly, even their quarrels and curses would be heard over the wall.

"I have saved some silk handkerchiefs and silk cords, as well as some other things. When spring comes, I will ask the owner if he will accept them. If not, I will go to the county to exchange them for some silver."

Aunt Ma took the silver and went home, and she did not forget to remind Aunt Lin, "I have told all the wives in the farm what the mistress said. They are all busy at home, so you should not go around."

The young wife of the Lin family loves to go from one house to another and sit for half a day.

It's not right for others to rush you, but you still have to work if you don't rush. It's also uncomfortable to hear you complaining beside you.

Sister Lin waited until she was far away before she curled her lips and said, "I am not a hindsighter, otherwise why would the master only use the Liu family?"

……

Jiang was in the house cutting cloth to make clothes for her mother-in-law.

"Mom, you haven't made new clothes for several years. Now it happens that your new master is a kind person and has rewarded you with this cloth. I asked Tiechui to buy three kilograms of cotton and make you a new cotton-padded jacket to wear during the New Year."

Jiang's mother-in-law touched the material on the couch and said, "I am half buried in the earth. What kind of clothes should I make? Leave them for Zhu'er to make."

"Mother, please don't spoil Zhu'er too much. We have to teach her something else."

Jiang's mother-in-law only asked, "Did the master say that?"

Jiang: "Mother, you know everything. Madam came to talk to me and asked about our Zhu'er."

"Madam said that we should raise Zhu'er for two more years, and then let her go to Miss Yu'er to accompany her in school... What do you think, mother?"

Grandma Jiang stroked her great-granddaughter's little head and said:

"Our Zhu'er is a well-behaved girl. If the master wants her to serve the young master, it's only a matter of time."

"As long as she said she was going to study with her, that would be even better. The master's family is well-known, so they will pay more attention to the upbringing of their daughters. If Zhu'er follows the young master in the future, her future will not be too bad."

"Teach me well. In the future, maybe you and Tiechui will be able to go to that noble place under the imperial city wall and see the world."

Jiang carefully helped her mother-in-law lie down and covered her with a blanket. "Take a rest first. You have been watching Zhu'er for a long time. Zhu'er is still too young. Tiechui and I don't know how to teach a child. You have to do it."

Granny Jiang closed her eyes and responded, "Well, when the old lady is alive, Zhu'er is under my care. When I am buried, you are not allowed to mistreat her. Tell Dajiang to find a stepmother for Zhu'er who is kind-hearted and tolerant. Our Zhu'er will not eat other people's black flour."

Jiang also fell silent after hearing this.

Everyone in the farm over there was happy about the monthly salary, and people in Lushui Village were also happy over here.

Wang Dahu delivered the vegetables to Wanjia Restaurant. When he returned to the village, he first went to Lijia Courtyard to give the money for the fruits and vegetables to Li Changle before returning to Wangjia Courtyard.

The prices of new varieties of vegetables are different from the original ones. The newly added Chinese spinach is sold at 6 cents per pound. This vegetable is very expensive even in the modern times when it is just put on the market.

The rest are still the original prices.

But it won’t be available every day in the future.

Apples weigh 2 taels per pound, and lychees weigh 4 taels per pound.

Wang Dahu brought back dozens of taels of silver this time.

Wang Dahu returned to the Wang family's courtyard. The whole family gathered in the house.

They brothers received two months' salary, including the salary for the twelfth month, saying that they were rushing to buy some New Year's goods before the New Year.

Four brothers, a total of 8 taels of silver.

Recently, the brothers and I have been eating and drinking mostly at the farm, and occasionally we can bring back a few steamed buns to improve the children's diet.

Haopo and Guihua Yingzi couldn't help being delighted when they saw the silver ingots on the table.

The Wang family hasn't seen money for a long time.

Recently, some food has been stored up. The good woman in front also received some cloth given by Madam Li, which was brought back by Wang Dahu when he went to work in the farm.

Now the silver has been taken back.

It goes without saying that 8 taels of silver was a huge fortune for a family that was still eating black porridge a month ago.

At least, big steamed buns are affordable now.

Some people in the village are still relying on old grain or disaster relief grain to get through the winter.

The good mother-in-law was filled with emotion, "So, it's never wrong to be kind to others."

If he hadn't called the brother and sister into the house from time to time to eat some black-floured cakes or drink a bowl of porridge, they wouldn't be able to get these benefits now.

This is the result of sowing good seeds and reaping good fruits.

Guihua said to her mother-in-law, "Mom, please keep them! If you save them, you will be able to find wives for Uncle Shitou and Uncle Shitou soon!"

The good mother-in-law nodded and said, "That's right, Guihua is right. When spring comes, I will find a matchmaker to introduce you two to someone else."

These words were said to her three or four children.

"Do your job well. This job is something that others can't even think of."

There is no need to sign a contract, the monthly salary is not low, the employer has a background, food and accommodation are provided, and there are various benefits at the end of the year.

The good mother-in-law thought that she would not agree even if her sons did not work hard.

Muramasa was even more straightforward.

Hu Dexian used his pipe to push the two pieces of silver back to Hu Chunshan and said, "You can keep it for yourself and give three to five hundred copper coins to your mother every month.

You are not young anymore, you will have to ask your mother to find you a wife. Don’t be too short of money for the bride price by then. Give the money to your mother, and she will ask Chun Xing to spend all the money on you.”

Hu Chunshan doesn't have a bad temper and is usually accommodating to his sister, but he also listens to what his old father says.

At worst, when his sister gets married, he can give her some more dowry.

Everyone was happy, except Hu Wangjia.

Wei Mancheng drank two bowls of delicious hot fish soup with his mother, and his stomach felt warm.

After Hu Yue Niang had digested her food and felt sleepy, Wei Mancheng helped her, covered her with a quilt, added charcoal to the brazier, and then took Jixiang out of the room.

He flicked the ash from his robe and said, "Let's go. Accounts must be settled one day. Some people just keep owing money and don't take it seriously."

Jixiang picked up the cloak and put it on his master.

When it comes to settling accounts, he is the best.
