Chapter 244 Kindness, Guilt
Chapter 244 Kindness, Guilt
Now the gate of the mansion is closed, and almost no one knows what is happening inside.
The clan leader and the head of the village wanted to find out the news, but after I beat up Old Man Zhang, no one could get any information from him about what was going on in the house.
I was very satisfied with this. Old Zhang worked even harder. Under normal circumstances, no one could get in.
The two old men saw me being divorced and thought I must be very sad, and I had to owe such a large debt. This kind of thing is something that ordinary people cannot solve.
I was too embarrassed to bother you. I could have sent someone to send a message to see me, but I ended up staying at home in agony for a few days.
Finally, I couldn't sit still any longer. While Xiu'er was delivering the goods to me, I followed her into the gate.
The clan leader took advantage of everyone's inattention and carefully put a ten-liang silver note into my hand.
I looked at him in confusion, not understanding why the stingy old man was willing to give me ten taels. I guessed that this was all his private savings.
"Just take it if I give it to you. I don't have the ability to make up the money for you with these. Can you do it with less burden?" After finishing the work, he ran away in a hurry as if his butt was on fire. I guess he was afraid that I would pay him back.
Then the village head came over again, this time with 50 taels. Seeing that I wanted to return it to him, he said with a stern face, "Mrs. Yun, just think of this as a loan to you. You can return it to me when you have money." After saying that, he turned around and left, not even giving me a chance to refuse.
Holding the 60 taels of silver in my hand, to be honest, I felt a little warm in my heart.
This amount of money is really not much for me now, but it must have taken them a long time to accumulate wealth.
I am touched by this thought.
Just when I was about to find the team, the two old men ran too fast, leaving me no chance to speak. I had no choice but to go find them later.
After Xiuer delivered the goods, when it came time to pay, she insisted on not taking the money, saying that the dozen or so people had already agreed that the labor fee this time would be left to me to pay off my debt.
I smiled and put the payment in Xiu'er's hand, and told her, "Don't worry, I have found a way to repay the debt. You can take this money back first, pay them for their labor, and thank them for me."
Xiu'er, then accepted the money and walked out of the gate with Xiu'er. He talked about daily life with Xiu and continued to walk towards the village.
As a result, I ran into Xiao Jia Dalang at the fork in the village. When he saw me coming, he turned around and ran away without saying anything.
I was a little confused, am I so scary? I was scared away just by looking at me.
I didn't take it seriously and went to Xiu'er's house.
The clan leader was smoking a pipe, his old face was full of wrinkles. I put the ten-liang silver note into his hand again. "Clan leader, I have found a way to repay the debt. Take this silver note first. If I am short of money, I will come to you for it again."
"Why are you so stubborn, kid? What solution have you found all of a sudden? Cough cough cough cough," the patriarch spoke too quickly and was choked by the smoke and coughed repeatedly.
"I really found a way, and I also have a way to help Brother Dazhu and others make more money. It's just very hard work, so it depends on whether they are willing to do it." As he spoke, he handed the water to the clan leader.
When the clan leader heard about making money, he immediately became excited. "You said making money is hard work, just tell me first. If no one goes, I will break their legs."
The patriarch is really so cute.
"Jiangchuan needs to recruit some teams to deliver goods to Weibei. The payment is based on the work. You need to buy your own team and drive the team yourself. If there are any willing to do it, please help me count them. Two taels of silver per team, and you are responsible for your own food, lodging and expenses. The bill will be settled once a month."
"Is this reliable?"
“Take money from me.”
"Okay, let me ask first to see how many people want to do it."
When I went out, I met Xiu'er and several women who were making clothes.
Seeing me coming out, they all started to ask, "Is it true that Madam Yun is setting up a motorcade? Can our family join in?"
"Sure, but you need to buy your own carriage. Anyone who wants to do it can do it."
Because they are willing to help me, I am also willing to give them the job.
They all earned a little money from making clothes, so they could afford to buy a simple carriage.
"Xiu'er, let's finish work early today and go back to talk to the boss."
Xiu'er: "You guys, once you hear that you don't have to do anything to make money, go ahead, finish work early today, everyone go back and discuss it first, don't miss the opportunity to make a fortune given by Madam Yun."
"Let's go. Let's go first."
I left with them and went to the village head's house and returned the 50 taels of silver to him.
He repeated the same words again. The village head was also very happy to learn that a team was going to be formed. He said he would contact the person immediately and that he was also considering buying one or two horse-drawn carriages for transporting goods.
The whole village began to boil again because of my news.
After delivering the message, I was about to return to the house. At the fork in the road, I ran into Xiao Jia Dalang again.
As a result, he stuffed a red cloth bag into my hand without saying a word.
When he opened it, he found two hundred taels of silver notes inside.
"Yun Niang, I'm sorry, this is all my savings. I leave it to you." After saying that, he left.
I feel at ease with it. I have raised the child for such a long time, so it is normal to give him some living expenses, right?
