The Xiong brothers did not swagger out of the inn and take the official road. Instead, they went into the forest behind them through the back door and took a detour through the deserted forest.
After seeing them off, Song Qiu sighed and said, "I hope they can reach Shouzhou Mansion safely."
Lihua didn't understand, "Why do they have to go to Shouzhou? Is it safe when they get to Shouzhou Prefecture? There are also government offices there, and wanted notices are posted all over the streets. They are so easy to recognize as brothers."
Aling said: "As far as I know, the leader of the Tianji Sect in Shouzhou Prefecture is their uncle. They should go to the Tianji Sect to hide from the limelight. The government can arrest them for a while, but in three months, six
Who is still watching after months or a year? If the notice is removed by then, they will be safe.
In addition, with the Tianji sect protecting them, it will not be easy for those men in black who want to kill them to get into the Tianji sect."
"Is the Tianji Sect powerful?" Song Qiu asked.
Aling thought for a while, "It's a big sect, ranked among the top three in the world, with thousands of disciples in it!"
Song Qiu listened and thought that it was okay. As long as they hid in the Tianji Sect, their safety could be guaranteed for the time being.
It's great to be able to kill everyone in the Jiang family, but you can't just wipe out the Tianji sect with thousands of disciples just to kill the Xiong family brothers, right?
She felt relieved in her heart and just hoped that Brother Xiong could reach Tianji Sect safely.
It will be opened tomorrow, and she is still busy and has no time to worry about this matter.
After all the things he bought were put away, Song Qiu soaked the beans and planned to make bean curds.
Deep-fried peanuts and strange-flavored peas are made. These are snacks that go with wine and are a must-have for inns.
After lunch, Song Qiu divided the work among everyone in the inn.
Tao Dongcheng was naturally the shopkeeper and accountant, and Dazhong went around to greet the carriages and horses.
He was in charge of the bench, and Ah Yin helped him.
Cotton is in charge of the tea shed.
But even so, there is still a shortage of manpower.
This place is different from the two places in Yushugou and Luofengpo in Zhangzhen, which are far from the village. Just like the Crescent Inn, there are villages close by, so it is natural to have a good relationship. If anything happens, there will be someone to take care of it and someone to report the news.
Therefore, just like Crescent Inn, Song Qiu had long thought of recruiting two villagers to work.
One helps in the kitchen and lobby, and the other helps in the tea shed.
So in the afternoon Song Qiu went to Xiaoyao Village in person.
When the village chief saw that she was back, he was very happy to greet him and expressed his gratitude in and out of his words. The women in the village who helped sew quilts and other things made money by doing this.
Song Qiu took advantage of the situation and mentioned that he wanted to hire two quick and hard-working women to work in the inn for a long time.
"The salary is five hundred coins a month. No matter it is raining or windy, we have to work at the right time and at the right time. The inn is responsible for three meals a day. If something happens and we can't go to work, we have to find someone to help.
The inn has to be open all year round, except for the New Year's holiday, which runs from the 29th of the twelfth lunar month to the sixth day of the first lunar month. During the holidays, wages are still calculated, and red envelopes are given during the holidays. New Year's gifts are also given at the end of the year. The treatment is absolutely good, but
There is only one person, and you must do your job steadily, with clean hands and feet, and be diligent and quick."
When the village chief heard about this good thing, he was overjoyed. Not only did he earn 500 wages a month, but he also provided for one day's meals. This saved his family more food rations, and he could still work all year round. For twelve months,
How much salary do you have to earn that year? Plus, there are red envelopes and New Year gifts during the holidays. It’s really a piece of cake!
He wanted his two daughters-in-law to go.
But as the village chief, he cannot do this.
Be fair!
Their family is living a good life in the village, but such good things must be reserved for the families in the village who are having the most difficult life.
The first thing the village chief thought of was his cousin Douhua.
In this village, their family's life is difficult. Mother-in-law and father-in-law are gone, the man is paralyzed and cannot get out of bed, and the two children are still young.
But precisely because of her situation, the village chief was a little hesitant. After all, if she had to work in an inn, she would not be able to take care of her family all year round. She could only go home in the morning and evening, and the family members would have to take care of themselves.
During the Chinese New Year, you have to go home on the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month to take care of the New Year matters.
As long as Douhua's mother-in-law or father-in-law were still there, the village chief would not be so hesitant.
Even with this hesitation, the village chief also planned to inform Douhua and let her make her own decision. Anyway, he wanted to give her one of the two places, otherwise, he would feel guilty.
Sure enough, when Douhua heard about this good thing, she was so excited that she trembled all over.
She works every twelve months of the year to earn wages, which is 500 yuan a month. How much she will earn in a year, she can't figure out.
"Six pieces of silver!" The village chief had been asking his eldest grandson to figure it out for a long time, and he finally figured it out.
When Douhua heard Liuliang, she was so excited that she almost fainted. She hurriedly said: "I'm going! Uncle, I'm going! Thank you so much, uncle! By the way, there's also Song Dong's family! I have to kowtow to her!"
The village chief stopped her in a hurry and said, "Don't leave now. You have listened to my request. Is it possible to do it? If you can't do it, don't cause trouble to me. It's better not to go in the first place."
If someone is replaced later, it is not good to give them a village, so this person must be found from the beginning and strive to be a long-term one.
Douhua thought for a long time, gritted his teeth and said: "It can be done! Uncle, I have to go! Earn this money, so that Gouzi and his brother and sister can have a good life. Only then can we have money to treat my man's illness. He will heal our family."
What a great talent!”
Douhua's nine-year-old son nodded repeatedly and said to the village chief: "Master, don't worry, I can take good care of dad at home!"
Her six-year-old daughter also hurriedly said: "Yes! I can also cook!"
The village chief sighed, thinking that it would only be difficult for him for the first year. Once he earned some money and the two dogs were older, he would feel more relieved. Not to mention that he would actually be cured of the bean curd man's disease.
What? That would be better.
After all, Douhua needs this job.
The village chief nodded and told Douhua to go to the inn to work at dawn tomorrow.
After leaving Douhua's house, the village chief went to another house.
This family also lives in poverty in the village.
Originally, apart from their family, there were also other families who were also very poor, with a widowed mother and a widowed daughter-in-law raising two children, and there was no strong labor force in the family.
But the village chief did not consider that family, because the mother-in-law of that family was not clear about what to do. The village chief did not want to choose her daughter-in-law, lest there would be trouble later, and he would have to suffer for the daughter-in-law.
The house I went to was slightly better, with both parents-in-law and a man present, but the family didn't have much land. With four children, the family of eight depended on the income from the land, and their lives were tight.
This family's surname is Hu, and that daughter-in-law's surname is Zhang.
As soon as the village chief said this, the family was so excited that they wanted to kowtow to the village chief.
The village chief hurriedly hid, "Thank you, no need. This matter depends on the Song Dong family. It was the Song Dong family that gave your family this way of living. When the time comes, you have to work hard and don't cause trouble to others. If something goes wrong,
I won’t help you with anything. When they quit you, there will be many people in the village waiting to do it!"
Who in the village wouldn’t want to compete for a good deed worth sixty taels of silver a year?
If it falls on them, their family is not doing well, and they are all sorry for themselves!
At that moment, the next family responded one after another and it was guaranteed.
The village chief waved his hand and ordered Mrs. Zhang to go to work at the same time tomorrow, and to go with Douhua, so that she would have a companion on the way.
