Xiuse Farmhouse

Chapter 226
Hearing Yan Shan's words, Xie Xian sneered in his heart.

"Yan Shan, do you know who the first person to visit this mine is my second elder brother, who has helped our Xie family manage business for many years. Although I am in the mine now, I obey him in everything My second brother's arrangement, besides, isn't it good to arrange a patrol job for you? It's easy, and there is a lot of money in a month. You have to know a tael of silver, which many people can't think of. Could it be that you want to go mining?"

Yan Shan shook his head violently: "I'm not going."

Thinking of his brother's misfortune, and thinking of his sister-in-law who shed tears every day, Yan Shan swore that even if he was killed, he would not go into the cave to dig coal.

Xie Xian looked at Yan Shan's tense look and smiled: "Why are you so nervous? You don't want to dig coal, and you didn't force you to do it." He comforted him: "Don't worry, I don't like to force others to make things difficult for you. If you don’t want to go to the mine, I will never force you to go.”

Yan Shan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but felt wrong, Xie San said that he was sent by the third young master, how could he become the second young master now?Frown, who cares, they are all from the Xie family anyway, he just needs to find someone who can make the decision.Seriously said to Xie Xian: "Third young master, I don't know if it was you or the second young master who asked Mr. Xie to come to my house. My elder brother unfortunately died in the mine. Although the mine promised everyone that it would work for our family. Lord, but I only gave you five taels of silver, five taels of silver..." Yan Shan's eyes lit up: "My brother's life is only worth five taels of silver, and our family doesn't have high demands. Arrange a better job, so that our family can have a stable life."

Xie Xian's eyes were getting colder, and he snorted coldly in his heart, he dared to threaten him, his mouth slowly curled up, revealing a dark and inexplicable smile, and said to Yan Shan indifferently: "Yan Shan, it seems that you are still I don’t know the rules of the mine. You have to know that everyone who comes to the mine has signed a contract. This is dangerous. I told everyone before signing the contract. They all know that since I signed the contract, I thank you. Workers, this is a natural disaster, not a man-made disaster, my second brother sent someone to give you five taels of silver is extremely benevolent, according to the rules, the master can ignore the death of Xie's slaves."

"You..." Yan Shan choked with anger, dare they all become slaves!

"Don't be angry." Xie Xian pressed Yan Shan's hand lightly, and said lightly: "I said this is the truth, it is a favor to give you five taels of silver, and I don't know if I give you a patrol job How many people are curious, do you want something better, steward? Do you have the ability to take it? Foreman? You are only here. Why should the mine let you be the foreman? This makes those who have been in the mine since the mine Why are people convinced? Then there is mining, and you don’t want to do it. Coal transportation is similar to the salary of this patrol, and it is more tiring. I believe you will not be willing. Then there is only one deputy patrol captain? But , What a pity, I just received a letter from my second brother two days ago, the position of deputy captain of the mine patrol team has been cancelled, so I advise you to do your best, if not..." The voice was a little colder: " You go home."

Yan Shan's face turned green and pale, and he stared and said angrily: "You are too bullying, you do what you do before others, and you do what you do behind, be careful, I will let everyone know what you are doing."

A cold light flashed in Xie Xian's eyes, and he said earnestly: "Brother Yan Shan, I don't think you have suffered anything in the past, and my second brother is not easy to mess with, so don't say that again in the future, I advise you If you want to do it, be honest now, do it well, don’t daydream day in and day out, if you perform well, when my second brother comes, he will naturally replace you with a job." After finishing speaking, he left.

Yan Shan was trembling with anger, he finally understood that the second and third young masters were all a nest of snakes and rats.Angrily left the mine.

Yan Shan went home and said Xie Xian's words again, and the whole family was very angry: "How can the people in this mine bully people like this, it is obvious that they were perfunctory to us at the beginning!"

"Hmph, I think the third young master Xie just wants to pass the responsibility to the second young master Xie." Mrs. Yan is still shrewd.

"I heard what my second uncle said, so there is really no other job to change in this mine. How could they let you be a steward or foreman when you just arrived at the mine?" Yan San said clearly.

"Hey!" Yan Shan sighed heavily: "I don't know. When I didn't go to the mine, I always thought it was a good thing. In fact, this patrol job is not bad. It costs more than one tael a month, but when I think of my brother I'm not reconciled to being so wronged, actually, I, I just want the mine to pay my sister-in-law a little more money!"

Yan Er's wife thought of Yan Er's care and care for her in front of him and Yan Er's sadness when he was depressed, so she lowered her head and wept silently.

"But what else can we do now? They clearly don't care about it." Yan Shan's son Yan Qi frowned.

Immediately everyone fell silent, and everyone still had resentment in their hearts, because the mine’s actions had heightened the resentment in their hearts, and they all thought about how to make the mine pay more money to calm themselves down, but Yan Shan’s wife was a little reluctant , looked at Yan Shan and Mrs. Yan and said cautiously: "I don't think it will work. The job of patrolling is actually not bad. Why don't we forget it? It's not bad to have this money for a month. It's better than before..."

Before she could finish her sentence, Mrs. Yan yelled: "Nonsense! Did you just let Er'er disappear like this? I think the mine sent five taels of silver back without saying a word. The people from Xie's family did not say anything." We made a statement on the mine, but in fact we didn’t get anything, and we have lost that reputation for nothing.” The older Mrs. Yan became more and more angry, and her eldest son suddenly disappeared. Is a life only worth five taels of silver?Now they don't keep what they said, and they threaten them with inside and outside words. How dare they, ordinary people, are easy to bully?
The old lady was so excited that her chest heaved and heaved: "No, this matter can't be settled like this. Shan'er went to look for the manager over and over again, and now Master Xie Xian said these words again. I think you may not have many good days on the mountain in the future. Didn’t you get seven or eight hundred coppers for a month when you were moving goods at the dock? You have to ask them to pay us some more money. Your sister-in-law has no income, and you have to marry a wife for the third son in the future. How can five taels of silver be enough? "

Yan Shan's wife agrees with the old lady's words, she is an honest person, she would rather have a more peaceful life at home than Yan Shan to do those dangerous jobs, if she offends nobles again, there will be no quiet life in the future, she can't help but Nodding in agreement with the old lady's approach.

So, on the second day, Yan Shan came to the mine with a dark face, and those who knew him smiled and made fun of him: "Yo, Yan Shan, you were punished by your wife when you went back last night, so you made a long face early in the morning? "

"Hey, I think he must have slept in the woodshed last night!"

"Ha ha!!"

Everyone laughed together, Yan Shan didn't move at all, his stern face remained unchanged, and then he snorted coldly: "It's just that we are country people with no power and power, so we have to be bullied."

"Ah, Yan Shan, what do you mean by that?" Someone asked.

Then Yan Shan with a dark face told how the mine deceived everyone, and coaxed them to only give five taels of silver. Then when he came to the mine, the mine didn't care about it, and finally threatened him.

Everyone couldn't believe it: "Impossible, the third young master said that he would comfort the families of the victims."

"If I tell half a lie, there will be a thunderbolt!" Then Yan Shan told everyone what Xie Xian said that day.

After listening, everyone was angry.

"How can the mine do this, how can we work with peace of mind in the future?"

"Yes, yes, that's right, it's so chilling, this is a real life!"

"These rich people only know how to bully us little people."

Everyone said something, I said something, and soon this matter spread in the mine.

Xie Xian's face turned black when he found out!A pair of eyes were calm and violent: "A country rough dares to do this to me, I really don't want to live!"

Baishou had also heard about it a long time ago. He had expected that this would happen sooner or later. The Yan family was so unwilling, how could they let it go just because of five taels of silver? Moreover, the Yan family had completely attributed the responsibility to the mine, and the incident would eventually break out!
The next day, Yan Shan asked Xie Xian to pay compensation to the Yan family under the eyes of everyone. Seeing the angry faces of the workers, Xie Xian changed his mind immediately, and said to Yan Shan in a serious tone: "Yan Shan Brother, didn’t I tell you last time that I can’t decide this matter, besides, the mine has already paid you compensation.” Then his face turned cold: “It’s a big mistake for you to slander the second young master at the mine like this, I think I don't care about you because of the pain of losing your brother, and I won't tell the second young master, but you should go back to work right now, there are rules in the mine, otherwise don't blame me for being rude."

Yan Shan stared and yelled at Xie Xian: "Third young master, don't bully me. You are the biggest in the mine now. I don't care about the second young master. Now I want you to be the master of my sister-in-law. She is a woman who takes care of me." With a child, no income, and an old mother at home, you give people five taels of silver, how can people live? Is it possible that this elder brother only earns five taels of silver in his life?" Then he looked at all the miners: "This method in the mine is really bad. It's chilling, how can you let everyone concentrate on work in the future?"

"That's right, that's..." People around nodded in agreement.

Xie Xian was expressionless, glanced at Xie San, Xie San understood, stood in the middle of the mine and waved for everyone to be quiet, and finally looked at Yan Shan and said: "Brother Yan Shan, the third young master made it very clear, this matter has two The young master is the master. Also, you have harmed the interests of the mine by spreading rumors everywhere. The third young master did not punish you, which is considered to be lenient to you. Don't be ignorant. If you continue to make trouble like this, don't blame us for being rude. "

Yan Shan was full of anger, pointing at Xie San and said: "Don't rant, when did I harm the interests of the mine, I only have one request, and that is that the mine has to compensate my sister-in-law's family again. The request is not high, just 20 taels of silver. "

See Xie San showing disdain.

Yan Shan looked at the crowd with a sad face, and said with a choked voice: "I think my elder brother is strong and strong, and he doesn't even catch the wind and cold on weekdays, so it's possible that he can't earn that mere 20 taels of silver in his life..."

Yan Shan was full of affection, and he said it tearfully, his face was full of sadness and grief. At the beginning, everyone who had some minor disputes couldn't help feeling a pang of sympathy in their hearts, and then they nodded unanimously in agreement with Yan Shan's words. Can't earn your 20 taels of silver?
