Chapter 107 Recruiting Female Workers

When everyone heard this, they all showed surprise.

The people who built houses for Lu Gen's family before all made a lot of money. Everyone who saw them was envious. They were just waiting for Lu Gen's family to have more work, and then they would go up to do it.

"Sister-in-law, is what you said true? Are you really going to recruit long-term workers?" some people asked excitedly.

"Yes, auntie, how much is the wage for this farmhand?"

"Aunt, please see if I can do it."

The villagers were talking at once.

Lu Fang stood behind the crowd, looking at the high-spirited Old Lady Lu, and felt very angry.

In the past, she saw Ruan Rong having a hard time, and her daughter was lazy and stupid, and she felt happy every day watching her.

But now, Ruan Rong is getting better and better, and her children are filial. Although Lu Zhengjun is not very ambitious, she still has other sons and Lu Qianqian, the most capable daughter.

"Everyone, my young lady said that the long-term union will sign a contract. If anyone leaks the Lu family's secrets while working for the Lu family, they will be compensated or handed over to the government. If anyone can accept this, please register with me."

After waiting for Lu Qianqian's instructions, Li Mu stood up.

When they heard that they had to pay compensation and report to the authorities, many people backed off.

However, there are also people who are upright and are not afraid of their own shadows.

"How is the salary calculated?"

"Five hundred coins a month, four days off, and bonus and annual gifts at the end of each year."

Five hundred coins a month, everyone who was interested was a little excited. They usually found work outside and could only earn about twenty coins a day, and there might not be work every day.

But the Lu family only pays 500 Wen a month and allows four days of rest. These conditions are too good.

"I, I'll sign up."

The first person to run out was actually the village chief’s eldest grandson, Lu Changfeng.

With Lu Changfeng taking the lead, people in the village who wanted to work went to Li Mu to register one after another. Some of them hesitated when they thought about the generous wages, and then went up.

"Any women who want to work can come to me."

Before Li Mu was done with the fun, Jia Lan also spoke up.

What? Can women also be long-term workers?

Although wealthy families had maids and nannies, they were all selling their bodies and working outside, and there were very few women.

In addition to the villages, women would go to help when a family held a banquet or something, but they were not paid. At most, the family would give them some food.

Widow Luo and Zhou Hua had known about this for a long time, and Old Lady Lu had informed them of it early in the morning.

Hearing Jia Lan say this, Widow Luo walked over with her daughter.

“My daughter and I both signed up.”

"And us." Zhou Hua also came over with his daughter.

What Widow Luo and Zhou Hua's families did left everyone stunned.

Are they planning to become maids in the Lu family?

Families with daughters also started to think about it. It is not impossible for them to be maids, as long as the salary is right.

Besides, what was signed with the Lu family? A contract, not a contract to sell one’s body.

"Lu family, are the wages here the same as those of the farmhands?"

When those who have daughters heard someone ask this question, their ears perked up.

Girls are not worth much to begin with. They are old enough to be married off to earn a dowry. Before they get married, they just do some housework at home. I didn't expect that they can find a job and earn money now.

Jia Lan looked around and said with a smile: "This time, the people my young lady is hiring need to do some delicate work. They also have four days off every month, and the monthly salary is one tael of silver."

When these words were spoken, everyone present was shocked, and the noisy crowd suddenly became quiet.

"What? One tael of silver a month?" Lu Fang couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

Do you know how much one tael of silver is? They actually said they would give you one tael of silver a month.

Widow Luo and Zhou Hua were also surprised. They knew what kind of work they had to do, but Old Lady Lu didn't say that she would pay so much silver a month?

"Jia Lan, you are wrong."

Jia Lan: "It's just one tael of silver a month."

After it was confirmed that the salary was really one or two taels of silver a month, all the girls came over.

"My family signed up."

"It's the same in my family. I have three girls."

"And my family. All four of my daughters are good at work."

Everyone ran to Jialan's side. If Lu Yi and the others hadn't seen this situation and stopped the people, Jialan might have been overwhelmed by them.

Jia Lan: "......"

Didn't you not believe it at first? Why are you so excited now? Do you think this little bit of silver is easy to take?

"Everyone, please stop arguing. Those who can do needlework here will be given priority!"

As soon as Jia Lan said this, the people who were still making noise suddenly quieted down.

There are people in the countryside who know needlework, but they are a minority. After all, not every family is willing to let their daughters learn needlework, and learning something comes at a price.

"If you don't know how to do needlework, you can't sign up?" someone asked unwillingly.

Jia Lan smiled and said, "Of course you can, but the work is different and the wages are also different."

"How much is the salary?"

If you can't make one or two taels of silver, then making five hundred coins is also possible.

Everyone stared at Jia Lan, waiting for her answer.

"This is different from farmhands. Whenever there is work, we will give priority to everyone. Anyone can do it. We will provide backpacks or baskets at that time. Each basket costs ten cents."

After hearing that five hundred coins were equivalent to one tael of silver, and ten coins were added here, everyone suddenly felt that the pay was too little, and the enthusiasm on their faces changed, and they turned directly to Li Mu.

Of course, some people look down on it, while others do. Is ten cents a small amount of money?

It’s not a small amount at all, but after hearing the previous wages, everyone felt that ten cents was too little.

After working for half an hour, all the applicants were finally registered. Except for Jia Lan, who didn't need to recruit anyone, Li Mu announced it directly.

The soil on the floor has been pulled back and we will start working today.

Those selected this time are the eldest grandson of the village chief, Lu Changfeng, the two sons of Zhou Hua, Lu Jian and Lu Jing, and the third son of the old village chief, Lu Xiaoping. As for the others who were not selected, when there are not enough people in the future, those who registered today will be given priority.

Those who were selected were filled with joy, while those who were not selected were disappointed. However, when they heard that there would be another chance in the future, they were not too disappointed.

The lively situation here was seen by Liu Zhaodi who was driven back to Xinghua Village.

She had no choice. In the provincial capital, they lived in the clinic every day. In addition, Lu Zhengjun had to take and change medicine every day, which cost one or two taels of silver a day.

Of the sixty taels of silver that Lu Qianqian gave me, only thirty taels are left after these few days, and I don’t know how much I will need in the future.

Especially during this period, the doctor at the clinic told her that her husband had been rescued, but she should take good care of him after returning home, otherwise his condition would worsen.
