Xiang was so shocked that she couldn't even close her mouth.
"Dad, after we celebrate the New Year, we can build a new house."
The family had already saved some money, plus Hua'er's wages for the past six months, plus the bonus of ten taels of silver, the total was more than thirty taels of silver, which was just enough to build a new house with a yard on the foundation of the house.
Hearing this, Mrs. Mao hurriedly said: "If you have money, why don't you give it to Brother Shu to do business and build new houses? Do you have the heart to let Brother Shu farm the land for the rest of his life?"
Doing business is more dignified and more profitable than doing work.
Bai Tian said in a rough voice: "If he had the ability to do business, I would wake up laughing in my dreams, and he is still doing business! It's almost like a dream."
He knew very well about his son that if he let that kid do business, the whole family would be wiped out.
Mrs. Mao was so angry that she could not speak. If she had known that her father-in-law looked down on her son so much, she would not have married him.
Bai Tian looked at his daughter and said, "Tomorrow, daddy will take you to the city to buy clothes. My daughter has become an excellent employee and deserves to be dressed beautifully."
Xiang wanted to say something, but Bai Tian glared at her and she shut her mouth.
During lunch, Mrs. Bai Tian came back and told Xiang that Hua'er would receive a bonus of ten taels of silver if she became an outstanding employee. For the first time, the old lady gave her granddaughter a chopstick of meat and praised her for her ability.
Mao poked the rice and said, "If Brother Shu goes to work, he can be rated as an excellent employee."
When the old lady heard this, she felt a little unhappy. Seeing her granddaughter's job getting better and better, she wished that this job belonged to Shu'er.
Bai Hua sandwiched the dish and said: "Okay, after the Chinese New Year, I will go and tell the village chief that I won't go to work. I will give my big brother my job and let's see if he can be an excellent employee next year."
"Are you really willing?"
Mao's eyes lit up.
The old lady and Mr. Xiang were both a little moved. After all, this family would still have to rely on their sons in the future.
Bai Hua observed the expressions of her grandma and mother, and said with a smile: "What don't I want to do? I will get married next year when I get my haircut, and I don't want to do it anymore. I just want to embroider my wedding dress at home."
"That's great of you to think so."
Xiang looked at her daughter with a look of relief.
"Can it really be changed?"
The old lady asked.
"sure!"
The tone of the white flower rose up, "As long as you tell the village chief, and if the village chief agrees, you can talk to the manager and you can change it. Last month, Hao Mei in our factory said she wanted to get married, so she changed it to her brother.
Her brother didn't know how to make tea, so he was transferred to the tea mountain to tend the tea trees."
"But..." Bai Hua frowned and changed her words, "Her brother worked for half a month, but he was fired by the manager because he almost killed the tea trees.
Hao Mei's parents took her to the factory to find a supervisor again, hoping to get Hao Mei back to the factory to continue working, but the supervisor didn't accept her anymore."
She is willing to switch to her brother. Can her brother do the job?
I don’t know where I went with my friends, and I didn’t go home for lunch.
"Brother Shu shouldn't be able to kill the tea tree attendant."
Mao said that he lacked confidence.
"Yeah..." Xiang said hesitantly.
The old lady didn't say anything this time. She thought of the acre of paddy field that her eldest grandson had fertilized.
The seedlings in that acre of paddy field were all dead, and there was no way to replant them. We had to put water in and plant vegetables.
The family can't finish the vegetables they grow, and it's hard to sell them in the city. Most of them are used to feed chickens and pigs.
If something really went wrong and they were jailed, their family would have no income of two taels of silver per month.
"snort."
Bai Tian snorted coldly, "He can even kill seedlings, let alone tea trees. Taking care of tea trees is more delicate than taking care of crops.
It can’t be exchanged, it has to be replaced by flowers.”
Bai Tian's words were still very meaningful. The old lady and Xiang didn't say anything more, but Mao was still unwilling.
