After becoming a widow, I became the mother of seven children

Yan Qingqing's life was going smoothly here.

The Chrysanthemum Garden was already under construction. Yan Qingqing had drawn the drawings, and she thought it would be better to leave this matter to Li Sanniu.

During this period of time, Li Sanniu was helping Li Xiangan with chores in the workshop, which was quite impressive.

The workers in the workshop also know that Li Sanniu has a share of the workshop, so they respect him very much.

Especially after Yan Qingqing and Li Xiangping were appointed as officials, Li Sanniu also followed suit, and everyone would call them "San Ye" when they saw them.

On this day, Li Sanniu and Li Xiangan were receiving merchants who came from other places to purchase goods. Ada came to the workshop to invite Li Sanniu, saying that Yan Qingqing invited him to come over.

Li Sanniu saw that he had no use for the time being in the workshop, so he followed A Da.

As soon as Yan Qingqing saw Li Sanniu, she handed him a drawing directly, and then said with a smile: "I plan to build a chrysanthemum garden and a bamboo forest next to the peony garden. This is the drawing I designed.

The third brother is more experienced in this area, so I also want to leave this matter to the third brother.

I wonder if the third brother is willing to take this job? "

Li Sanniu looked at the drawings in his hand and rolled his eyes at Yan Qingqing. The drawings were handed to him, and he asked if he didn't want to use them.

But he really prefers to do this job than dealing with the merchants traveling from north to south in the workshop.

The main reason is that he always needs to pay attention to those merchants and think twice before speaking, and he may be tricked by accident.

Although those merchants did not dare to set a trap for Li Xiangan for the sake of Yan Qingqing, Li Sanniu was not stupid, and he could still hear the wit in those words.

But building a house and garden are much simpler.

It wasn't that Yan Qingqing didn't see Li Sanniu roll his eyes. She also knew that Li Sanniu was somewhat uncomfortable greeting those merchants.

So he deliberately said: "It doesn't matter, third brother, don't be embarrassed, I can take care of this matter to others.

I remember that person in our village who often built houses for other people, he must be able to..."

Yan Qingqing was interrupted by Li Sanniu before she could finish her words. He said with a doggy smile: "What did the second sister-in-law say? I have never declined as long as it is the second sister-in-law's matter.

Besides, from the time my second sister-in-law’s house was built, to the garden and workshop, I was not involved.

I have experience in this area, so second sister-in-law should leave this matter to me. "

There is really no suitable candidate for this matter except Li Sanniu, so Yan Qingqing stopped being arrogant and walked down the slope and said: "In that case, it's my third brother's fault."

Li San walked away with the drawings in a hurry.

Of course, the first thing Li Sanniu did when he came out of Yan Qingqing's house was to recruit workers.

The Li family has not been recruiting workers for a long time. Li Sanniu once again released the news of recruiting workers. He originally thought that many people would sign up, but after waiting for a long time, only a few people from Canghe Village came to sign up.

This made Li Sanniu very depressed, and he wondered if it was because Yan Qingqing's prestige was not as good as before after being sealed.

When Mrs. Xu returned home, she saw Li Sanniu sighing there, thinking that something big had happened to him.

He quickly stepped forward and asked, "What's wrong? But mother is making things difficult for you again?"

Li Sanniu quickly shook his head when he heard this. Mrs. Li had been very peaceful during this period, especially since Yan Qingqing was sealed and Li Sanniu had not seen her much.

Mrs. Xu was relieved when she heard this. As long as it wasn't Mrs. Li, everything else would be easy to handle.

So he asked again: "Then what is it that makes you so sad? If we can't solve it, isn't there still a second sister-in-law?"

Li Sanniu curled his lips and said: "I'm still looking for my second sister-in-law. This is the problem that my second sister-in-law has given me.

The second sister-in-law wanted to build two more gardens next to the peony garden. She said that I had experience in this field and asked me to do it this time.

I thought I was familiar with this matter anyway, but who knew I would encounter difficulties before I even started.

In the past, whenever I released news about recruiting workers, those people would be eager to come and work.

But this time it has been half a day since I released the recruitment news, and only a few people have come to sign up, and they are still asking questions.

Some people even say that thirty cents a day is a bit low. Do you think they are losing money? "

Mrs. Xu smiled when she heard this. It turned out to be because of this matter.

Seeing that Ms. Xu was still laughing after hearing this, Li Sanniu said angrily: "What's so funny? If you can't complete the tasks assigned by the second sister-in-law and delay the construction period, just wait for the second sister-in-law to beat me up!"

Mrs. Xu quickly explained: "I'm not laughing at you, I'm laughing at how easy it is for us in Canghe Village, but we can't afford to pay thirty cents a day.

In fact, if you think about it, almost every household in our village now has someone working in the second sister-in-law's workshop, and they can earn several hundred cash a month.

Moreover, the work is light and decent, so naturally he doesn't like the heavy and tiring work of thirty cents a day.

There are also some people who set up stalls at the entrance of the garden. I heard that they can earn hundreds of cash a day, let alone thirty cash.

Coupled with the sweet potatoes and potatoes sold some time ago, I estimate that every household in our village has more than ten taels of silver in savings, so don't they just look down on these thirty cents? "

Li Sanniu felt a little sluggish after hearing Xu's analysis. Did Xu understand so much now?

Thinking of this, Li Sanniu asked.

Mrs. Xu said with some embarrassment: "Isn't this what I was chatting with the second sister-in-law a few days ago and listening to the second sister-in-law analyze the situation in the village? I think there must be this reason why you can't recruit people."

Although Mrs. Xu said this, Li Sanniu still felt that Mrs. Xu was very smart now. As expected, people became smarter after staying with the second sister-in-law for a long time.

Li Sanniu looked at Mrs. Xu expectantly and asked, "Then what do you think we should do next?"

Mrs. Xu smiled and said: "If we recruit people from our village, it's because they have money and are living a better life.

But that doesn't mean that people in other villages are having an easy time.

Do you still remember that there was a fight between our village and another village over recruitment quotas?

If they don't want to work for thirty cents a day, it's mostly because of people. Are you worried that you won't be able to recruit people? "

In fact, it was not that Li Sanniu had never thought about recruiting people from other villages, but in his heart he preferred to use people from his own village.

Mainly because he is familiar with the villagers in Canghe, and it will be easier to deal with them later.

But I’m afraid it’s no longer possible to be more convenient now.

Here, Yan Qingqing and Li Xiangan are reporting to him on the situation of receiving this new group of merchants.

These people have never signed an agreement with their family, they all come here because of their reputation.

Li Xiangan wanted to protect them but not give them too many goods.

Yan Qingqing gave him some pertinent suggestions, and Li Xiangan felt like he had an enlightenment.

After the mother and son discussed it, they somehow mentioned Li Sanniu again.
