She gave birth to three daughters in a row, and was kicked out by her mother-in-law who favored boys

"Hey, you're busying around. I just had nothing to do, so I found two pieces of cloth to make winter clothes for the two little ones." Niu Li said, and invited Gu Qingqing to sit on the bench next to her.

Gu Qingqing didn't hesitate to sit down and chat with her for a while. Then, after Luo Meihua came out of the kitchen, she found a topic to talk about the purpose of her coming here.

"Aunt, my family has some work to do these days and I want to ask Meihua to help me. The work is not too heavy, just to help me out. Of course, this is not for free, I will pay you six cents each time."

Gu Qingqing first spoke to Niu Li, but her last look was at Luo Meihua.

When Niu Li heard that there was something going on at home and she needed help, she agreed without thinking, "Call us if you have any problem. As long as we are at home, we will come over to help you. We are all from the same village. Why bother talking about money? It's a joke. Meihua, just follow her."

Gu Qingqing smiled and shook her head. Yuzhu and Uncle Zhang He had helped them a lot in the past few days.

How could she feel embarrassed to let others make the mooncakes for free this time!

"Aunt, if we were in need of help for a big project at home, I would definitely ask you for help. This time is different. I have made a living, and the people who can work at home are uneven, so it's a bit late. Since it's a living, I can't make money and let Meihua work for me for nothing. This is not appropriate. In addition, I plan to find two people in the village. They can't just not pay. Since they have the money, they can't be the only ones who need Meihua. So just listen to us. Besides, it's only two days, and it won't cost much."

When Niu Li heard that she was looking for someone else, she tacitly agreed, "Meihua, put down the work in your hands and go and help."

"Okay, mom." Luo Meihua agreed and took two steps towards Gu Qingqing.

"Okay, then I won't bother you, Auntie. Let's go back now and finish the work as soon as possible. I'll let Meihua come back soon."

After they left the yard, Gu Qingqing and Luo Meihua chatted while walking towards the home of the village chief Wu Shan.

Wu Shan had three sons, Wu Mu, Wu Lin and Wu Sen.

Wu Mu is the eldest son, and his wife is Chen Chunhua. They have a daughter and two sons. Their daughter is thirteen years old and her name is Wu Wenwen. Her younger brothers are eleven-year-old Wu Dagen and nine-year-old Wu Ergen.

The second son, Wu Lin, and Chen Xiafeng had two sons.

The third child, Wu Sen, and Wang Baoyu also had a daughter and two sons. The daughter is ten years old this year and her name is Wu Xinxin.

The Wu family has some pretty good names for the girls, Wenwen and Xinxin, while all the boys use the character "gen".

Gu Qingqing had reason to suspect that they wanted to keep the "village chief" in their home through this.

Otherwise, why are boys called "Gen"?

Gu Qingqing and Luo Meihua entered Wu Shan's yard and happened to see Wu Wangshi picking beans under the sun. Gu Qingqing smiled and called out to her, "Auntie, are you picking beans?"

Mrs. Wu Wang is forty-five years old this year. She has a round face and looks kind.

When Wu Wangshi saw that it was Gu Qingqing and Luo Meihua, she smiled cheerfully and asked, "You two are rare guests. Why did you come here together today?"

Gu Qingqing stepped forward and said, "We killed a pig a few days ago, and Wuyan and I went to the town to sell the pork. We were lucky, Wuyan made friends with people in the town, and we helped them make some things."

Gu Qingqing specifically moved Wen Wuyan out, not for any other reason, but because she was worried that someone would say that she had met someone in the town and agreed to make something.

What if someone in the village spreads malicious rumors?

The last time she killed a wild boar, word spread that the wild boar had attacked her. She is not a good person.

Who knows what kind of rumors would be spread if she said that she negotiated her own business!

When Wu Wangshi heard that their family could talk to the people in the town, she praised them, "The third brother is amazing. He got to know the people there right after arriving in the town. If we went there, we would be stared at by those wealthy families. Our mouths would be like they were sewn shut. We wouldn't be able to say anything."

"You're joking, Auntie. There are many people in this town who can't speak fluently. Besides, we just answer whatever they ask. What's the big deal? To be honest, they are just ordinary people, and you're the wife of the village chief!" Gu Qingqing laughed.

"Hey, what kind of lady is this? If you ask me, she's more of an annoying old woman, but she can't be compared with the third sister." Mrs. Wu Wang had lived in the village all her life, but she still felt that the third sister of the Wen family was capable because she could make friends with people in the town.

Gu Qingqing laughed, "It's all the same. After all, aren't we all from Niutoushan Village?"

Gu Qingqing said this and then turned the topic to the main topic, "Auntie, we are short of manpower right now. I want to come and ask Wenwen and Xinxin if they are free to come and help me for two days. I say two days, but as long as you are quick, you can finish it in half a day. The work is not hard, just help me peel pumpkin seeds. It's not for free, I will pay you six cents a day."

Farmers are used to saving money. When they heard that the maids in the family could earn six coins by helping, Wu Wangshi was naturally happy. However, she still said, "When you have time, when you have time, they are all from the same village. It doesn't matter whether they are paid or not. If you can use them, just ask them to go to your place to play. Wenwen, Xinxin, come out."

Wu Wangshi spoke to Gu Qingqing first, then turned around and shouted into the house.

Almost as soon as she finished speaking, two little girls, one big and one small, walked out from the west room of the upper house.

"Grandma."

"Grandma."

The two little girls asked for milk and then looked at Gu Qingqing.

Gu Qingqing looked at them, smiled kindly, and discussed with them, "My family needs to find two people to help peel melon seeds. Are you willing to go? I just told your grandmother that if you go, each of you can earn six cents a day."

Girls like them don't have the opportunity to earn money on a daily basis. If they really want to make money, they have to embroider handkerchiefs, purses and other things and ask the adults at home to take them to the town to sell.

Now when they heard that they could earn six cents by helping her family, the two little girls were naturally delighted and looked at their grandmother with more eager eyes.

Wu Wang nodded to the two sisters and said, "You can go if you want. When you get to your aunt's house, be serious and don't be stupid like you are at home."

"Got it, grandma!" the two little girls answered happily.

Seeing that the matter was settled, Gu Qingqing also smiled and said, "Auntie, these two girls are very smart and likable. It's obvious that you taught them well."

Gu Qingqing didn't forget to flatter him.

Wu Wangshi's eyes were wrinkled even deeper as she smiled. She said with a sneer, "It's hard to teach the wild girls from the farmers. If they can't do well in the past, just send them back."

"No, I trust you and them. I will take them back now. Everything at home is ready." After Gu Qingqing finished speaking to Wu Wangshi, she took the two sisters away.

There was a reason why Gu Qingqing chose two little girls instead of looking for a wife who was more capable.

The first is to repay the village chief for helping them distribute the letters.

The second is that the process of making mooncakes is neither difficult nor easy.

If you find a smart daughter-in-law, who knows if they will just copy what you do after taking a second look.

They are young and simple-minded, and don't think too much.

But things like peeling melon seeds are not necessarily much slower than adults.
