After several days of confusion in recruitment, thousands of farmers who had arrived from the surrounding areas of Fushun were pacified. It was only Zhou Qingfeng who was fined 1,000 taels by Li Yongfang for finding a stubble, and the matter was over. However, the aftermath of the incident has not subsided.

It is Zhou Qingfeng's basic policy to recruit skilled craftsmen with superb craftsmanship, and he will not change them easily or give up halfway. Because the tide of the event has spread and the news has spread far and wide, the recruitment method has been slightly changed. The recruitment point was placed outside the city, and the referral fee was greatly reduced, and special recruiters were sent to the surrounding areas of Fushun for pre-selection.

For the thousands of people who have already arrived in Fushun, those who can be resettled will be resettled as much as possible. Those who could not be resettled were given a certain amount of rice or silver money, and let them go home on their own. Being able to gather and disperse so well and treat people kindly, this move is regarded as a great kindness by the people, but it pushes Zhou Qingfeng's reputation to a higher level. As for someone who died unlucky, few people cared.

In general, there was a bit of a mess, and a lot of money was spent on grain and rice, but Zhou Qingfeng's image spread with the people who returned home. Many people don't feel that they only suffer losses, but hope to be really hired by this young owner. But not all of the people who have been hired are happy.

At night, the mulberry carpenter was still sighing on the shop.

Recently, the accommodation conditions in the west of Fushun City have become very tight, and the carpenter Sang used to be the carpenter leader who could live in a single room, but now he has to live with his sons. He stared at the oil lamp on the low table of the clay kang with a sad face, silent.

The sons of the Sang family also didn't sleep, sitting around the kang and staring at the low table for a contract. The eldest son saw that the carpenter didn't speak, and couldn't help asking: "Dad, you see that this is a good thing, so you can nod and agree." ”

The mulberry carpenter didn't raise his head, just snorted coldly. He's not happy these days, he's very unhappy.

A few days ago, in the chaos of recruitment, Zhou Qingfeng slaughtered the village chief in front of all the old and young masters in Sangjia Village, and killed several of the chief's followers on the spot. These people are all the same clan of the Mulberry carpenter, and they also listened to his words before they came to Fushun City to find a job, but they all lost their lives - the Mulberry carpenter felt a great loss of face.

"He killed our brother of the same clan, and it was your patriarch who was trampled to death by him, and you will continue to fight with him?" The carpenter said 'he' in his mouth, and the sons knew who he was referring to.

The youngest son lowered his head and teased: "Dad, you now remember that the chief is your same clan and clan." But when he encroached on our family's one-acre and two-cent land, did he remember that you were his same clan and clan? Has he ever been merciful? ”

"Bastard, are you still talking back?" The carpenter slammed his dry smoking gun at the low table, "You have only been in the city for a few days, and you have all learned badly." This person who is away from home, isn't it just that the same sect takes care of each other, and I don't understand this reason? ”

The youngest son was fifteen or sixteen years old, and his rebellious spirit was the greatest, so he stiffened his neck and said, "Dad, what you said makes sense. But on weekdays, when you took his lackeys to bully our family, did you have such a big fire? That bastard is dead and dead, and you still hold grievances for him?

Isn't the chief just the money our family makes? He is in charge of what matters of the same sect, and he will talk about it. If you really let him talk, can you get three taels of silver a month? Can you eat meat every once in a while? It was the Zhou Dong family in the west of the city who gave our family the money, but he was not the chief who bullied our family on weekdays. ”

The younger son spoke loudly, and the other sons nodded yes. The patriarch in the village is the emperor of the soil, and often the whole village is in charge of life and death. If you just bully men and women, you are considered a good person, and it is not uncommon to force the village to die.

It's just that the clan's power, ideological stubbornness, and wide influence are by no means something that can be changed by killing a few people. Villages with the same surname often rely on the patriarch to organize themselves to fight against other villages for various resources such as water, land and so on. Carpenter Sang felt in his heart that it was very wrong for Zhou Qingfeng to kill the patriarch. He had no choice but to take Zhou Qingfeng, so he was angry and wanted to simply go home and quit.

It's just that the carpenter wanted to leave, but his sons refused to go.

This Fushun City is a scum in Zhou Qingfeng's eyes, but in the eyes of these authentic hillbilly buns, it is a rare prosperity. Others can't work for Uncle Zhou, so they are willing to leave if they do a good job?

The money is not hot, how happy it is to hold it in your hand!

It's just that the mulberry carpenter hummed and chirped and refused to stay. His eldest son brought him a piece of paper tonight and wanted to discuss it with him, but he didn't even look at it. Seeing that the stalemate was deadlocked, the eldest son could only plead: "Dad, you listen to me first, okay?" ”

Well...... there was such a voice from the mouth of the mulberry carpenter.

The eldest son grabbed the paper in his hand and said, "Dad, I just saw a notice posted by the owner that says that you can allow any internal house purchases. I asked, as long as you are a certain level of mechanic, you can buy a house in the city at a low price. Dad, you're qualified. Let's buy a house in the city. ”

What?

Carpenter Sang raised his head and stared at him, he really didn't know that his sons were going to discuss this matter tonight - buying real estate in Fushun City is a big deal.

The mulberry carpenter stared at the paper on the low table and asked, "Do you know the words on it?" ”

The sons all shook their heads, but the eldest son still said patiently: "Dad, I have taken a fancy to a house, and I took a few younger brothers to see it this afternoon." There is a large courtyard with six rooms, and the inside of the house is bright. It's a disadvantage of furniture, but it's not a thing for our family. The point is that it is cheap, only one hundred and eighty taels. ”

"One hundred and eighty taels is still cheap?" The mulberry carpenter jumped up in anger, "You losers, you are going to buy a house in just a few days?" Will everyone marry a daughter-in-law in a few days? In a few days, we will have to argue for a separation. ”

Several sons who were scolded bowed their heads one after another, and all looked at the 'outspoken' old man. The youngest son was really bold, and he retorted: "Dad, you know the price of the house when you work as a carpenter." The two-entry house in this city is only one hundred and eighty taels, which is really not expensive. The proprietor takes care of himself to sell it at this price, and he gets two hundred and forty taels in exchange for others.

And then the house is really good. The eldest brother has been married to his daughter-in-law for so many years, and the two of them are still sleeping in the shack of our hometown. It's not easy for my sister-in-law and two nephews. As long as you buy this house, the eldest brother and sister-in-law can have a house of their own. The second brother and the third brother don't have to be ridiculed if they marry again. My fourth brother and I can also live more relaxed. ”

The brothers lowered their heads and secretly gave a thumbs up to the old man.

But the carpenter said nothing, he just said, 'I have no money, I can't afford it', and sat cross-legged on the kang and sulked. After another silence, the eldest son had the courage to speak: "Dad, if you lend me money, I will buy that house." ”

What?

Carpenter Mulberry was even more surprised than just now, this time he really jumped up directly.

The eldest son opened his mouth but let go of his courage, straightened his chest and said, "Dad, our family's money is really not enough." But the owner's 'casual loan' provides housing loans. I asked, and the interest rate is very low. ”

"Why have you asked everything?" Carpenter Sang's eyes widened again, "Feelings, you brothers are ready." What is a 'home loan'? ”

"It's borrowing money from the owner."

"Printing money?"

"It's not black-hearted inky money, the interest on this loan is very low."

"You guys are really stiff-winged, you dare to borrow money from Yinzi. What else did you say at the beginning? Ask me to borrow money? Your father and I haven't died yet, and you're starting to worry about my money? I'll kill you, unfilial brute. You're getting bolder. ”

The carpenter grabbed his shoes and held them in his hands, and in a fit of rage, he threw them on the head of his eldest son. The boss of the Sang family suddenly hugged his head and ran away, and several brothers hurriedly went to pull their father. So the mulberry carpenter even beat the remaining sons, and the whole house was full of commotion, and there was a loud noise.

Until the mulberry carpenter was tired, the youngest son bravely stood up and shouted: "Dad, the eldest brother borrowed not the money that he couldn't pay back, it was the 'casual loan' opened by the owner, which is different." ”

"What's the difference? You are young, and you have never seen how bad those black-hearted rich people are. Lend them a copper plate, and in a few days you will be able to pay for all your wealth. The mulberry carpenter looked like a person who had come over, and said domineeringly: "As long as I am still in charge of this family, you don't want to borrow any money." ”

"I borrowed everything." The eldest son covered his head full of bags and said weakly.

What?

Carpenter Sang was really shocked and covered in cold sweat, his fingers trembling and pointing at his boss, his face was flushed, and he was angry. "You ......, your ......, and you, are you trying to me off?"

At this point, the eldest son stood up straight and said, "Dad, I feel very reasonable about the fact that the 'casual loan' account room said a few words. People say that the owner has money, and we are all given by him, and he doesn't look down on us. The owner just wants us to work with peace of mind and work hard. By lending us money, you are actually helping us live a good life.

In fact, our brothers knew that you would not agree, so we all signed contracts with the owner and borrowed money. I borrowed 180 taels and bought the two-entry house. I want to bring my mother, my daughter-in-law, my children, and my two younger sisters to live in the city. I don't want to live in that house in the countryside anymore. From today onwards, I am also a decent person. ”

After the boss finished speaking, the second, third and fourth looked at each other a few times, and also stood up and said, "Dad, we also borrowed it." I didn't borrow as much as the eldest brother, so I borrowed a hundred taels. My brothers and I wanted to open a carpenter's workshop on our own, and we recruited our own workers and took the work from the owner. The proprietor said that he wished that we would come out on our own, as long as we did a good job, he would definitely make us rich.

Our family has been poor for several lifetimes, no matter how poor and miserable it is, can it be even more bitter than in the past? We have all figured it out, and we will split up from today onwards, and we will fight boldly. Even if it is lost, it is the business of our three brothers. With the boss here, you can still retire with peace of mind. ”

After the elder brothers finished speaking, the youngest eldest began to support him.

The mulberry carpenter was already angry and ran out of strength, looking at his favorite old man on weekdays, he asked listlessly: "What do you kid want?" You also borrowed money? ”

"I didn't borrow it. My craft is not good, I can't sign a contract with the owner, and the owner won't borrow it casually. The youngest son shook his head and said, "But I don't want to be a carpenter anymore, and I don't want to farm anymore." ”

"And what do you want to do?" The carpenter asked in surprise, "You don't want to work and you want to be a master?" ”

"I want to go to school." The youngest son said: "The owner wants to open a school, with technical engineering, management, and preparatory courses. I want to go to the preparatory department and then the management department. I also inquired clearly, as long as I do my homework well, I don't need money to go to school. The management department came out to be a master, and he could get at least ten taels of silver a month. ”

The monthly salary of ten taels of silver is more than that of the mulberry carpenter.

After listening to the words of his sons, the carpenter lost his temper at all. He sat on the clay kang and suddenly began to cry and shouted, "You guys are all gone, all of you are gone." I've raised you for nothing, and if you raise such a big one, you will rebel. Since you don't listen to my father, you guys get out of here, get out! ”

The sons bowed their heads and fell to their knees crying together.
