Chapter 141 Don’t Make Relationships at Random Places
Cheng Yue asked Chen An to stop the ox cart and shouted to the back:
"Aunties, if you're worried that you won't get the money, then ask the village head to be a guarantor and ask him to pay it in advance. There's money to be made here, so you have to be more proactive!"
"Oh! Yes, why didn't we think of that? Let's go and talk about it now!"
It has to be said that Cheng Yueya is quick-witted, no wonder she can do business!
A group of people went to the field clamoring, which scared Zhao and Chen Ping. After hearing their purpose, they agreed without thinking.
The blisters on Chen Ping's hands grew and rotted, and the rot grew larger. He was so exhausted from cutting wheat these days that he felt like crying but had no tears. He wished he could go back to the county town immediately to have some free time, but he couldn't bear to give up the grain.
The whole family is so tired that they have lost a lot of weight and their complexion is visibly getting worse, mainly because of overwork and no one to cook when they get home.
Not only that, Zhao and Li Manying quarreled every day for no reason, and their relationship was more disharmonious than ever!
Now more than ever, they hope someone will take over this job. They don't want to do it anymore in their lifetime!
Although giving them money in advance is indeed insulting, isn't this directly saying that they are dishonest?
But what can I do if I don’t agree?
It’s not that Chen Ping didn’t go to other villages to look for someone, but they said that the round trip was far, and in addition to the thirty cents in wages, they also had to provide two meals.
How could he agree to this? He was not a sucker, so he went back angrily, shaking his sleeves.
Thirty cents is enough to make me angry, and now I still want to have two meals? You’re dreaming!
If it weren't for this, he wouldn't have bowed his head and looked for people from his own village.
Anyway, as long as the villagers agreed, they can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Zhao and Li Manying were so excited that they burst into tears. They were exhausted in the past few days.
So they couldn't wait to follow everyone to the headman's house.
With so many people rushing into the yard, the village head thought something had happened. After hearing what Chen Ping said, he glared at him unhappily.
Look at how eager he is to pay, as if harvesting wheat costs his life. If he loses his job one day and stops earning money, won't he starve to death?
Unable to bear it any longer, the village head advised: "Chen Ping, these fields are our roots. No matter what you do, you must not forget this.
You still have to go to the fields when you need to, your hands can't be infertile, and the children at home should practice more. If you can't even bear this little bit of fatigue, how are you going to live in the future?"
"Uncle Lizheng, don't worry, I know. Besides, my job is fine, it's good, and it's more than enough to support my family. That day will definitely not come!"
If it wasn't for the fact that the person who was speaking was the village head, he would have cursed him. Wasn't that a curse on him?
What's the future like? Is his life any worse than anyone else's?
The head of the village choked. There are always unexpected events. How can we live our lives without making plans and just thinking about the best?
But with Chen Ping in such a state, it would be useless to say anything. Well, good words cannot persuade a damned ghost. It's my own fault for talking too much.
The head of the village sighed and called everyone together, "Since you have agreed, just give us the money.
Chen Ping, 30 coins per person per day, you pay today first, and I’ll pay tomorrow’s work later.”
After the money was in their pockets, the men from each family took their sickles and went to the fields.
It's another profitable day, happy! Satisfied!
Chen Ping laughed so happily, and even a little disdainfully, a bunch of fools, are you so happy about thirty coins? You really have never seen silver!
Unlike him, he could easily earn two taels of silver a month, but farm work was so tiring that he couldn't even earn two taels in the whole year.
Thinking of this, Chen Ping felt that he was capable again. Well, he was different from these peasants after all.
But the next moment, the smile froze on his face because he saw Chen An and Cheng Yue.
Especially since Chen An walked here normally, is his leg healed? How is that possible?
Chen Ping was so surprised that he couldn't speak. Zhao had already glared and shouted, "You, how can you walk with your legs?!"
At the beginning, she believed that Chen An's leg was disabled and she was afraid that he would be a burden to them, so she divided the family. She didn't stop him from breaking off the relationship. After all, what use could a disabled person be?
But it’s only been two months, how come Chen An suddenly got better?
How could they accept this! If they had known that it could be cured, why would they have mentioned the separation? If they hadn't separated, would they have worked so hard to harvest wheat?
"Of course I'm fine! Of course I have to walk when I'm fine!"
Cheng Yue and the others were originally planning to go home, but then they thought that Chen An alone might not be able to make the oven, so they came to the village head's house to look for the brothers Zhang Dashan and Zhang Dajiang.
Chen Ping had the nerve to ask others for help, but he certainly didn't have the nerve to ask the village head for help. Moreover, the Zhang Dashan brothers were very good friends with Chen An, and they looked down on Chen Ping the most. I'm afraid he wouldn't go even if he was paid.
Of course, finding someone is secondary. Cheng Yue came here specifically because she wanted to see the expressions of Chen Ping and the others. It must be quite interesting!
You'll find out sooner or later anyway, so why not slap them in the face when there are many people around!
Sure enough, the expressions of this family did not disappoint her!
It took Chen Ping a long time to accept this information, "Your leg is already broken, how, how can it be healed!
Even if it could be cured, you should have told me at the beginning. Isn't this a deliberate lie?"
He was really pissed off. Not only did he lose a laborer, but he also divided up so much land, and all of it went to waste!
His younger brother has always been honest. He was played such tricks on him just because he was not on guard?
Chen An frowned, "When did I say my leg was broken? How can it not be healed? Didn't you guys decide that my leg was broken?
I can't bear the word "liar". We all know what happened at the beginning. There's no need to speak so harshly!"
He didn't want to say more about the division by Zhao and the others, because even if he didn't say it, everyone knew it.
Chen Gen was expelled from the academy, and Chen Ping and Zhao had offended all the villagers. Their reputations were already ruined, and there was no need for him to ruin them further.
Chen Ping was speechless. If the doctor had not said that the disease could not be cured, would he have divided the family property?
But he couldn't say this out loud. Wouldn't that be a slap in the face?
Chen Ping looked at Zhao and Li Manying with dissatisfaction. He wanted to divide the family, but it was not necessary.
If his mother and his wife hadn't come to him and said that Cheng Yue was crazy, and instigated her for most of the day, the family wouldn't have been separated!
Zhao was even more unwilling to accept this, and glared at Li Manying fiercely, calling her a troublemaker and a mere instigator!
If the family hadn't split up, I wouldn't have to do the laundry, cooking, and digging out manure myself!
She doesn't have to work hard in the fields, because all the money that bitch Cheng Yue earns will be hers!
She should have been enjoying her life, how did she end up like this!
Thinking of this, Zhao quickly stepped forward, grabbed Chen An's arm, and cried, "Second brother, my son..."
"Aunt Zhao, we are no longer related, so don't try to find a relationship with me."
Chen An shook off Zhao's hand. His voice was neither fast nor slow, but it sounded quite cold to his ears.
