Pampered Tian's Wife: The Little Weaver Girl in the Farmhouse

Chapter 114 Five-Year Contract
"Brother Qi, I'm looking for you. In fact, I still have something I want to discuss with you." In the private room of the restaurant, after the shopkeeper Han invited Qi Tiankui and his son to sit down, he said directly.

"Brother may have heard about it. I have set up a weaving workshop in the town, and I plan to start work these days. I plan to let Qiaoyun come to work in the weaving workshop and help me bring some weavers out."

"Of course, the wages must be higher than before. In this way, Qiaoyun works with me and pays a wage of [-] yuan a day. In addition, he takes care of three meals and three festivals a year. How about it?" Shopkeeper Han knew the character of the Qi family, so without waiting for Qi Tiankui to say anything, he offered a very generous offer, which was much higher than what he had negotiated with Qiao Yun before.

Before, Qiaoyun's salary of sixty Wen a day had already made everyone envious.Now shopkeeper Han actually offered one hundred coins, such a high price, suddenly stunned Qi Tiankui.One hundred Wen a day is three pennies a month.For an ordinary household, it is too much to have two or three pennies left over from one year of busy work, but it turns out that this is Qiaoyun's monthly wages.

Qi Tiankui was so shocked that he didn't know what to say, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses, "Okay, okay, of course. It's rare that shopkeeper Han appreciates Qiaoyun so much. Of course, Qiaoyun can't miss such a good opportunity. I can let her work whenever I want, and I will decide on this matter."

Shopkeeper Han and Qiao Yun agreed when they heard Qi Tiankui so readily, and nodded their heads.He added a lot to this salary at Qiaoyun's suggestion, and he guessed that Qi Tiankui would definitely agree.Sure enough, as soon as Qi Tiankui heard that the salary was one hundred yuan a day, he agreed at that time.

"Since this is the case, how about we make a deed now? It's not like I'm a villain. I really don't want to be the same as last time. Miss Qiaoyun just came to work here for a few days, and someone from your family came to pick her up again. I'm going back." The shopkeeper Han has a long-term mind now.

Qi Tiankui has long been attracted by the conditions offered by the shopkeeper Han, and now that the mountain silkworms have been harvested, it's just like that for Qiaoyun to stay at home, and she has to take care of her food and drink.It's better to let Qiaoyun do the work, the Qi family doesn't have to pay anything, and they still have three shillings of money in a month.

As for the work at home, Qi Tiankui didn't think about it at all. During the time Qiaoyun was at home, he was only in charge of cooking and didn't interfere with the rest of the work.It's just three meals a day, and there are Liu Shi and Xiuyan at home, so they are busy no matter what.Through the matter of embroidering beauty, Qi Tiankui and his wife are also a lot stricter on Xiuyan. Xiuyan is thirteen like Qiaoyun, and it's time to learn some work.

Qi Tiankui made some calculations in his mind, and felt that it was the most correct choice to let Qiaoyun do the work.As for the contract, it had already been signed once before, and Qi Tiankui had no resistance to it. "Okay, let's sign the contract."

With the contract, regardless of whether the weaving workshop earns money or not, Qiaoyun has to be paid one hundred wen a day.Qi Tiankui was afraid that shopkeeper Han would regret it one day, so he happily agreed to sign the contract.

Since Qi Tiankui agreed, shopkeeper Han asked someone to get a pen and paper, and invited the shopkeeper of the restaurant to be a witness, and then signed a contract with Qi Tiankui.

In this contract, in addition to agreeing on wages, etc., there is also an agreement that Qiaoyun needs to work in the weaving workshop for five years, and within five years, she is not allowed to get married.

"Brother Qi, don't worry too much. It's not just Qiaoyun. Our weaving workshop will also recruit female workers for the same requirement. They must work for five years before they can marry. After getting married, if you want to come back to work, you don't have to. Those who come back to work can weave cloth at home and sell it to the cloth shop like Miss Qiaoyun did before."

Shopkeeper Han deliberately explained to Qi Tiankui, "After a while, the weaving workshop will invite weavers from the south to teach everyone again. Although Miss Qiaoyun's craftsmanship is not bad, but she still doesn't care about jacquard looms and so on. Yes. It can’t be that the weaving workshop has taught her the craft with great difficulty, but after three to five months, she will stop doing it, right?”

In fact, most craftsmen in this year have to sign some similar contracts, and some are even more demanding than this.Qi Tiankui had heard about these things to some extent, and the shopkeeper of the restaurant was helping to explain and persuade him, so he thought about it and accepted it.

Zuo Qiaoyun is still young, and the Qi family has no intention of marrying Qiaoyun, so this condition is acceptable.Of course, Qi Tiankui agreed, but Qi Yongyuan was not very happy.He is determined to get Qiaoyun, if Qiaoyun is not allowed to marry for five years, what will he do?
"Father, this won't work. After five years, Qiaoyun will be eighteen. His son is still waiting to marry her, how can he wait so long?" Qi Yongyuan tugged at Qi Tiankui, and whispered softly in Qi Tiankui's ear.

Qi Tiankui glared at his son, and said in a low voice, "Are you stupid? She can earn more than 30 yuan a year and come back. With such money, you can marry a fairy and come back. Even if you really care about her, wait until she is [-]." After the contract expires, what kind of good family can I marry at that time? At that time, the father and mother will decide to give her to you, won't it be enough?"

When Qi Yongyuan heard his father's words, he was right, the Qi family will be rich in the future, what kind of daughter-in-law can't he marry?As for Qiaoyun, she can't escape the Qi family, and sooner or later she will fall into his hands, so there's no need to be in a hurry.

"Okay, then listen to daddy. Dad, you promised me that you can't marry Qiaoyun off then." Qi Yongyuan thought it through, so he let go and stopped objecting.

Qi Tiankui glanced at his son and said nothing.Instead, according to shopkeeper Han's intention, he pressed his fingerprints on the contract.

Shopkeeper Han looked at the handprints on the contract and couldn't help but smile.Qiaoyun is a shrewd girl, she left a way out for herself.In five years, nothing might happen. The Qi family really thought that after five years, they would still be able to control Qiaoyun?
Shopkeeper Han picked up the contract with a smile, dried the ink on it, and handed one of them to Qi Tiankui, "Brother, this thing has to be put away. We are all villains first and then gentlemen. With this contract, brother, you don’t have to be afraid that I won’t pay you.”

Of course Qi Tiankui understood this, so he carefully put away the contract, "No, a big man like shopkeeper Han can't do such a thing." Easy to say.

After the contract was written, it happened that the waiters in the restaurant also started to serve food. When the food and wine came, shopkeeper Han greeted Qi Tiankui and others, and began to eat. "Come on, brother Qi, quickly taste how these wines and dishes taste." Shopkeeper Han said while pouring wine for Qi Tiankui. "This wine is not bad, brother, just drink it at ease."

Qi Tiankui and his son had never seen such an exquisite dish before. The tangy aroma made people twitch their index fingers, so the two of them were not polite, stretched out their chopsticks and started picking up dishes.

　There will be rewards and updates in the afternoon.
