Farm widows have space, pick up a treasure on the way to escape

Chapter 198

Yu rolled her eyes and said mercilessly: "A whole family has a house, and you have a house by yourself. Fifteen cents is the price of a house. My mother said, if you don't pay, I won’t let you stay.”

At this point, she quietly apologized to Mrs. Sun in her heart, saying that she didn't mean to blame her.

Mrs. Zhou sneered coldly and said with a smile: "Looking at the way you talk about your mother and your mother's mouth, I think you have been led astray by this family. You can't even tell who your own mother is!"

Hearing her talk about her mother, Mrs. Yu's eyes instantly turned cold: "I don't need to worry about whether I can tell the difference. If you don't want to work to pay off the debt, you can leave now. Anyway, the New Year is over now. You said before that you would only stay at home. I’ll leave after the New Year.”

Hearing this, Mrs. Zhou's face changed instantly, she pointed at Mr. Yu's nose and cursed: "Yu Xiao'e! I am your sister-in-law. I am the only one left in your natal family. I have gone through so much trouble to find her." You, is this what you did to me?"

She was a head shorter than Mr. Yu, and she had to raise her head when she cursed. When she saw Mr. Yu looking at her condescendingly, the bad breath lingered in her heart.

She really wanted to break up and leave. She wouldn't be able to live without this place, but she thought she still had important things to do, so she forced herself to endure it.

Mrs. Yu didn't have much reaction when she scolded her like this. She just said calmly: "I have told you a long time ago that even if you are my sister-in-law, you have no blood relationship with me. Now that I can take you in, you are already a relative." If you are willing to work to pay off the debt, if you are not willing, you can leave now."

After experiencing so many things, Ms. Yu knew who she should treat sincerely. As for Ms. Zhou, the sister-in-law who had always disliked her before, she felt that she had done her best to be kind and righteous.

"Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell you that our family is now separated. Although we still eat together, everyone must pay for food. No matter how old they are, each person has one tael of silver. We will pay for it after we use it up. If you If you want to stay, you have to pay one tael of silver for food. If you can't afford it, it's still the same as working to pay off the debt."

Mrs. Zhou finally calmed down, but almost jumped when she heard these words.

She went through a lot of hardships to get from Changzhou to Jingzhou, and the resettlement allowance given by the government was only three taels of silver.

One tael of silver is enough for her to live alone for a year. Here, one tael of silver is just for food!
"You should also know during this time at home that our food is better and our expenses are better. One tael of silver per person is enough for two or three months. If you want to eat well with everyone, you have to work hard to make money. , otherwise I won’t even be able to pay for food.”

"Don't think it's not worth it. A three- or four-year-old kid like Gou'er only costs one tael. Anyway, you can make up your own mind. If you don't want to, you can go to the food workshop and eat with a few girls. .”

Mrs. Yu didn't mention the garment workshop. The sewing machines in the garment workshop were a big secret. If Zhou knew about it and leaked it, it would cause trouble for the family.

Mrs. Zhou's eyes widened, thinking that she had to work hard to be able to eat here. She couldn't even see the money she earned, so it was directly mortgaged for food expenses?

She was also asked to go to the food workshop to feed a few little girls, who were servants of the Lu family. If she ate with them, wouldn't she also become a servant of the Lu family?
Think beautiful!
Anyway, she doesn't want to be here all the time. She needs to stabilize these people first.

She thought about it carefully, then smiled softly and said, "Sister, you also know that I am only your relative now. Since you have separated, you must have money in your hands. You can use the one tael of silver first." Help me advance the money, and I will return the money to you later, what do you think?"

"Not so good!" Mrs. Yu rolled her eyes. Just now she was called Yu Xiao'e by her first and last name, and now she's called her sister. This person's fall is faster than the sky!
"My family has a business, and there are many places to spend money in the new year. I only kept the food expenses for a few of my family members, and used the rest to run the business. You can only work to pay off the debt. This is all because you are me Sister-in-law, my family agreed to give you this opportunity, so don’t make it difficult for me."

Seeing how heartless and unjust she looked, Mrs. Zhou immediately gave up her hope and had no choice but to agree.

On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, the weather cleared up and it was a good day. This was also the day when the Lu family workshop started working.

At dawn, a large group of people gathered in front of the Lu family. These were people who helped the Lu family, including the workshop and long-term workers in the workshop.

Because they worked in the Lu family's workshop in the second half of last year, each of their families had a good year this year, which was the first time in history.

Everyone remembers the kindness of the Lu family, so on the morning of the start of work, everyone came very early to strive to make more money in the new year and have a good year next year.

It was at this time that Ms. Zhou realized how big the Lu family's business was. With so many people packed together, how much did they have to pay each month?
Yu is obviously very rich, but he still wants her to pay the rent and pay for her own food. This is obviously aimed at her.

Wait, these people, all wait!

She wants to make them even poorer than before in their hometown, and see if they dare to fight with her!
After everyone was gathered, Boss Lu made a simple speech as a representative. This was a task assigned to him by He Jiuniang a few days in advance.

Boss Lu was nervous and excited to speak in front of so many people. He was the eldest in the family and had to be the first in everything he did.

Moreover, the third younger brother and sister said that this was a training opportunity for him. In the future, other people in the family would also take turns speaking as representatives to exercise their courage and expression skills.

"Everyone has been working in our Lu family workshop for a while. I know that everyone is hard-working and capable, and our Lu family will not treat you badly. In the new year, we have formulated some new rules and new benefits for everyone. Opportunities for salary increases. Let’s work together to make our Lujia Workshop’s business bigger and better, so that every household can live a good life!”

He didn't say much, it was He Jiuniang who taught him what to say in advance.

Despite this, he still studied it carefully over and over again in order to be able to finish it smoothly in one breath.

After finishing speaking, he took a deep breath and smiled. It was true that he had been practicing for the past two days and it was still perfect. He was very satisfied with it.

He Jiuniang took the lead in applauding, and others followed suit. Then they were curious about what new regulations and benefits were added. These were mostly from the garment workshops. Lu Guilan would explain in detail in the workshop later.

Roughly speaking, they are some rules for healthy competition. Now Lu Guilan is in charge of them. With so many people, oversights are unavoidable sometimes, so it is not a big deal to start running for team leaders. He Jiuniang does not participate, leaving everything to Lu Guilan to decide.
