The escape system takes me to dig for treasures
Chapter 157 Zeng Meixiang is in trouble
After going to school, studying, plus being one year older, it is still different. Jiang Baishu is much more stable now.
Hearing Sister's surprised inquiry, Jiang Baishu blushed slightly, "Sister, I want to be admitted as a scholar as soon as possible."
Before Jiang Li could speak, Jiang Youli, who was not far away, burst into loud laughter.
"What are you daydreaming about? There has been no scholar in our family for three generations, so there is no one in our family who can read. You kid can only read a few words."
Jiang Youli thought he was telling the truth, but he made everyone in the family angry.
What a shame, why did he give birth to a son like this? He didn't want to make progress, but he was still here to undermine the child's confidence.
Mr. Jiang quietly took off his shoes, walked quietly behind Jiang Youli who was talking excitedly, and suddenly slapped Jiang Youli on the back of the head with the sole of his shoe.
"You bastard! It's okay if you don't study hard, but you're here to ruin other people's fun. Let's see if I don't beat you to death!"
Jiang Youli was startled and couldn't escape in time. He jumped up and saw Mr. Jiang being so aggressive. He immediately yelled, "Dad, what are you doing? You are so old, why are you still not stable at all!"
These words made Mr. Jiang so angry that he kicked him, causing Jiang Youli to stumble forward.
Just as he was about to complain, he turned around and saw Mr. Jiang holding a stick in his hand and about to hit him. Seeing that this attitude was serious.
Jiang Li watched the two of them playing and quarreling in the yard and shook his head. Her grandpa was serious about not coming!
After all, the Jiang family has not produced a single scholar for three generations.
It's hard to find a child who is willing to study hard and seems to have some talent in reading. How can he tolerate Jiang Youli's suppression.
Ignoring them, Jiang Li was so hungry that he started to talk about empty city plans. He quickly finished his meal and cleared the table.
The rest of the Jiang family still needs to use the table.
The business of Jiang's Braised Pork is picking up, and the business is starting to get busy. Both the pig farm and the braised pork at home need manpower.
Yu Zheng was more trusted by the villagers. In the past, Yu Zheng took the villagers to do any work outside, and he led several families in the village to make money.
So this time Jiang Li asked Yu Zheng for help, and Yu Zheng found twenty-three people at once.
On the first day of February, Zhao and Jiang Youli set out independently, while Jiang Li and Mr. Jiang interviewed the group of people brought over by Yu Zheng at home.
The main thing is to select suitable people from this group of people to take care of the pig farm and braised pork.
Among the twenty-three people, three people were finally selected to take care of the pig farm. Their responsibilities included cleaning the pig pens, weeding the pigs, cooking pig food, and they also had to take turns keeping vigil at the pig farm, with each person receiving ten days.
The salary is one, two or five taels of silver a month, and the food is taken care of by the villagers since they are all recruited from the same village.
Braised pork requires two people, and Qian Guihua is in charge. They mainly clean the pork, drain the pigs, make the braised pork, and pick up the firewood for the fire.
Jiang Li gave Qian Guihua one, two and a half taels of silver a month as wages, Lin, who had been here not long ago, gave her 1, 2 and 2 taels of silver, and the two new villagers received one tael of silver a month.
After arranging the people, Yu Zheng and the others were asked to open up another piece of wasteland in the back mountain, build a brick hut here, and then set up five stoves, and the subsequent work of braised pork was carried out here.
After the beginning of spring, the Jiang family entered a busy stage again.
Mr. Jiang now has to supervise the work at home. Fortunately, Jiang Youli can now set up a stall independently, and this is especially true for Zhao.
Since it is early spring, the business is not very busy yet, so one person can be much busier for the time being.
Among the group of people in early February, Yu Zheng was looking for people who were married and relatively older. Jiang Li did not find anyone suitable among this group of people.
So let Yu Zheng pay attention to it later.
Jiang Li and the others are busy here, and Jiang Chunhua and his wife's business at the dock is also very prosperous.
It wasn't until mid-February that Jiang Chunhua took the time to return to her parents' home.
Brought news that Zeng Daniu quit his job of carrying bags at the dock and now helps at the Malatang stall.
Although the couple worked together at the stall, they did not fire the aunt they originally hired.
That aunt was a relative of the steward who carried bags at the dock. After Zeng Daniu resigned, the steward brought many people to help with his business, and they often ate spicy hotpot here.
I thought it was delicious and even brought my wife and children here.
There were three people working at the stall, and it was still quite busy. When it was time to eat, they were still too busy to touch the floor.
Although Jiang Chunhua and his wife sell food themselves, they can't eat spicy hotpot every day.
So Zeng Meixiang would prepare meals at home at noon and bring them to the couple.
In the past few days, the couple got tired of eating the food at the stall. Zeng Meixiang did housework at home and prepared lunch for her parents.
By the way, I help out with the work so that the couple can take a breather.
Jiang Chunhua took the time to go back to her parents' home, and Zeng Meixiang went back with her.
When they arrived at Jiang's house, Zeng Meixiang pulled Jiang Li into the house.
Jiang Li was inexplicably pulled into the room by her. Looking at Zeng Meixiang with her head hanging down, Jiang Li noticed that she seemed to be in a bad mood.
He lowered his head to find her eyes and looked into Zeng Meixiang's eyes.
"Axiang, what's wrong? What happened? Did you have a fight with aunt?"
Having had the experience of eating and sleeping together during the Spring Festival, the relationship between the cousins is still good.
What's more, there are no other people of the same age around me. It's hard to tell my parents what's on my mind, but I can say it to my little sisters of the same age.
Zeng Meixiang brewed her emotions for a while, and then two big tears fell down.
Jiang Li was a little at a loss and wiped away Zeng Meixiang's tears in a panic, "What's wrong? If you have anything to say, tell me and I will think of a solution for you."
Zeng Meixiang choked and opened her mouth, a little embarrassed to speak.
Jiang Li didn't rush her to speak, she just waited.
After a long time, Zeng Meixiang started to talk. It turned out that she often went out during this period and always felt like someone was following her. It was a good thing that she had never left the village at that time.
But in recent days, she started delivering food to Jiang Chunhua and his wife who were running a stall on the pier. The person who was following her stopped her halfway and began to verbally harass her.
She also threatened Zeng Meixiang that if she said this, her reputation would be ruined even if nothing happened, and she would no longer need to marry.
Zeng Meixiang was a little girl. Although she had experienced running away from famine, she was still well protected by Zeng Daniu and his wife.
So when faced with a verbal threat from a nasty man, I was so frightened that I didn't dare to tell Jiang Chunhua and his wife.
As for why she dared to tell Jiang Li, Zeng Meixiang looked at Jiang Li and always felt that Jiang Li was more reliable than her parents.
