I Was Called a Poor Widow, But I Relied on My Supernatural Powers To Fight Back In Ancient Times

Chapter 349 Hiring a part-time worker

Having said that, Bai Anyan was a little worried. It was okay to hire a part-time worker, but the question was, who would be more suitable?

“If we hire part-time workers, should we go to the town or hire them directly in the village?”

Baiyunxi was stunned when she heard the second child's question. She thought about the various behaviors of the villagers after she came here, and she didn't have much of a good impression.

The only people who think it is good have fields at home.

As for the rest of them, she didn't want to have anything to do with them, and she felt uncomfortable with it.

"The people in our village either have their own fields or have bad character. Mom doesn't like them too much. Fortunately, they all live in the same village. We usually don't see each other when we look up. If they are cheating and not doing well, Are you going to fall out or not?"

"If you talk too much, you will easily offend people. If you talk too little, it will delay our harvest. It is not worthwhile no matter what. It is better to go to the town and hire people to do the work."

“Mother is right, I don’t think you can invite people from the village. If you need help from other villages, please just give them instructions without worrying too much.”

As soon as Bai Yunxi finished speaking, Xiao Wu agreed. He had similar senses to his mother, and he didn’t have much favorable impressions of the villagers.

“We also agree to go to the town to invite people.”

Bai Anyan saw that the whole family was opposed to inviting the villagers, and nodded.

"I listen to everyone. I will go to the town early tomorrow morning to have a look. Every harvest season, families with little land will come out to ask for work. It is not difficult to hire part-time workers."

"It's a bit of a waste of money, because harvesting during the rush is manual work, and a strong laborer's wages are about fifty cents a day. Fortunately, they work fast. One person can harvest an acre of land in a day. If five people are hired, it takes six days. Enough to finish the collection."

“At that time, the day laborers will be responsible for harvesting. Li and I will take charge of the threshing floor with our younger brother, and strive to collect the grain into the warehouse as soon as possible.”

Listening to the second child’s arrangement, Bai Yunxi nodded in agreement. Picking up goods was similar to carrying big bags at the dock. They were all labor-intensive work. Fifty cents a day was acceptable.

 Fortunately, the money in her hands was not used up very much, so she had no problem paying her wages.

"This is a good arrangement. Your elder sister-in-law, third sister, and I are responsible for cooking and delivering meals. During the busy farming period, we have to do hard work and we have to eat well. Tomorrow we will go to town together and buy some big bones and eggs. , you have to eat well to be strong enough to keep up.”

 If she has some free time, she can go to the river to catch some fish and add food to the family.

 Everyone listened to their mother's arrangement and naturally had nothing to say.

After the matter is finalized, just follow the agreed steps.

 No matter how much land there is, as long as the division of labor is clear, there will be no delay in entering the warehouse.

In this way, Bai Anyan was no longer impatient and began to prepare for the harvest in an orderly manner.

Early the next morning, Baiyunxi took his second son and his wife to the town.

As agreed upon, Bai Anyan went to the west end of the town to hire part-time workers. She took Li to purchase items. The three of them split up and were ready before noon.

Li picked up the purchased ingredients and met Bai Anyan at the entrance of the town.

 “I’ll pick,”

Bai Anyan took the pole, and the three of them walked home talking and laughing.

 After more than half a year of maintenance, and Baiyunxi adding some health pills to them from time to time, their physical fitness has increased visibly to the naked eye.

 In the past, I would be out of breath when walking from home to town as long as I didn't encounter a bullock cart. Now I can walk home easily and effortlessly.

Before harvesting, Baiyun Xi carried a small bench to the river to fish every day. Then Bai Anjing and Du Shi took it out and hung it under the eaves to dry.
