Wang Yuanniang is counting the supplies at home.

There is grain, there is cloth, there are pickles......

These are all saved by her and Shen Xiaoge in the past six months, getting up early and working at night.

Putting them together gives her a sense of accomplishment.

Brother Shen walked in from the outside, and his originally fair skin had been tanned in two shades in one summer.

He lifted the teapot first and poured a glass of cold boiled water.

Water is precious!

He drank carefully and seriously.

It seems to want to taste every drop of water.

While Wang Yuanniang was busy working, she asked him, "The steward asked you to go to the workshop, is the workshop going to be rescheduled?" Did the owner decide to increase shipments? ”

There was a hint of anticipation in her words.

Although deep down I know that increasing shipments and having more work to do is impossible in these years.

However, there is still a little bit of expectation in my heart.

Looking forward to hearing the good news.

Brother Shen drank half a glass of water, held the remaining half cup in his hand, and sat down on a stool.

"The steward called me over and made an announcement. Not good news. ”

His tone was calm, and his voice was neither light nor heavy.

Wang Yuanniang was stunned, turned around, and asked him seriously: "What news?" You say, I'll listen. ”

Brother Shen sighed, "The steward said that the villa is very difficult now, and the owner is under a lot of pressure to feed so many people. From this day onwards, all the work in the cottage, whether it is work in the fields or in the workshop, will be paid by half. If you don't accept it, you can only leave the villa and find another way out. ”

"Ahh

Wang Yuanniang exclaimed, her eyes a little dazed.

"Half the pay?"

This news had too much impact on her.

Halving the remuneration means that all plans, all arrangements, must be overturned.

The days that were originally quite comfortable became tight in the blink of an eye.

Brother Shen said again: "The steward asked me if I wanted to stay." Say give the two of us a night to think about it. Early tomorrow morning, whether you go or stay, you have to go to the workshop to reply. What are your thoughts? ”

Wang Yuanniang's face was bitter, "What else can I think." With such a big family business as the owner, life is very difficult, and it is even more difficult for us ordinary people. Leaving the lodge, where can we find work? Where to feed yourself? Not to mention halving the salary, even if the remuneration is only 30% of the original, there will be people rushing to do it. Stay! I don't know where to go other than staying at the lodge. ”

Brother Shen nodded, "Listen to you!" I'll go to the workshop early tomorrow morning to talk back, and we'll all stay. If the remuneration is halved, it will be halved, so that you can eat and drink, save a little and save some food to send back to your family. ”

Wang Yuanniang sighed and silently put away all the cloth and grain.

She whispered: "The weather has been dry for so long, and I am afraid that the harvest will be lost at home." I plan to take advantage of the lack of life in the last few days, go back to my parents' house, and send ten catties of food back, do you think it's okay? ”

Brother Shen was a little reluctant.

Now, water is precious, and so is food.

But he still nodded, "Is ten catties enough to eat?" I want to add five pounds more. ”

Wang Yuanniang shook her head, "Your father and mother, we also have to be filial." Why don't you go home and deliver the food yourself? ”

Brother Shen shook his head, "I'll wait for you to come back from your mother's house, and we'll go back together to deliver food." Otherwise, Daddy and Mother should say that you're not. If you send food back, they will be happy. ”

Wang Yuanniang smiled sweetly.

Brother Shen asked cautiously, "After sending food, are we enough to eat ourselves?" ”

Wang Yuanniang nodded again and again, "It's enough to eat." I calculated the days, and the remaining food was enough for us to eat for more than half a month. It's really not good, there are still a few pieces of cloth that can be exchanged for food. ”

Brother Shen shook his head again and again, "Keep the cloth first." I heard from the guys at the Four Seasons Cloth Village that the price of cloth will increase in the second half of the year. This year, there has been a drought everywhere, and the yield of mulberry and hemp planting has basically been reduced, or even the harvest has been lost. Cotton from the west is not only high in price this year, but also in small quantities. By the end of the year, cloth will be scarce in the market, perhaps even more than grain. If we keep the cloth until the end of the year, we will definitely be able to exchange it for more food. ”

Wang Yuanniang laughed, her own man is becoming more and more successful, and she is more and more budget-conscious, she is very satisfied.

She smiled and said, "Listen to you, and the cloth will not move." When I go back to my parents' house, I'm going to bring some pickles and sauce......"

"It's all up to you!"

Brother Shen is very simple and doesn't care.

Wang Yuanniang was satisfied, she tried her best to make a bowl of water even, and her mother-in-law's family was not biased on both sides.

The mother's family gave ten catties of grain, and the in-law's family also gave ten catties of grain.

If she does this, her in-laws will still gossip, and she can't help it.

It's a big deal to go back to your in-laws' house less and ignore those people.

Half of the couple's small family is her income.

She has the right to dispose of her income.

It's just that in recent months, there has been less and less work, and life has become more and more tormented.

A few days ago, the homeless people flocked to District 3 to fetch water, and she was very nervous at that time.

For fear of petty theft by those homeless people.

Later, bloody clashes broke out, nearly 10,000 displaced people were driven away, and she finally slept peacefully.

Now life is difficult, there is food and drink, a house to shelter, and work every day.

This kind of life is really a nest of happiness for the villagers who are suffering outside and are tormented by drought and are going crazy.

……

Early the next morning, Brother Shen and Wang Yuanniang and his wife went to the workshop together.

Familiar people are coming.

Everyone unanimously chose to stay.

On the side of the homeless, the same is true, no one will choose to leave at this time.

Leaving the lodge and going out is a dead end.

The workshop signed a new agreement with the owner.

If you don't know how to read, you will press your fingerprints.

After pressing the finger print, you can go to work.

Today is only half a day, an hour and a half.

Nowadays, I just live a little bit every day.

If you want to do more, the workshop won't let you.

The supply of raw materials is not available, the goods in the warehouse are piled up, and there is no money in the account without turnover.

I have done my best to be able to maintain half a day of work every day, so that everyone can have work to do and get paid.

By the end of the year, the situation is expected to be even tougher.

……

Yan Yunge arranged everything and set off for Beijing.

She asked people to bring a message to Xiao Yat, she wanted to mine.

This year, the losses were heavy.

Not only did it not happen, but the money earned in previous years had to be posted.

Whenever she thinks of this, her heart is dripping blood!

What kind of business is making money right now?

In addition to usury, it is mining.

The Four Seasons Money Bank has been set up, there are many people who take out loans, and the business seems to be booming, and it should be able to make a lot of money.

But......

Fear everything, but.

Debt collection has become a painful and troublesome affair.

There are a lot of bad debts in the bank, and they are all overdue and cannot be paid.

She can organize violent collection, but she also needs the borrower to have a valuable property.

Some borrowers, you go to collect, and directly push the mother-in-law and children of the family forward, which is called taking people to offset the debt.

Bah!

There are tens of thousands of people in the mountain village who open their mouths to eat, so many that they wish they could drive another 10,000 people away.

The money bank is taking people to settle the account, purely asking for trouble.

What can people do when they use it to offset their accounts?

Do you really want to learn from the family and turn these people into field slaves?

Yan Yunge is a person with a bottom.

Therefore, all those who take people to offset their accounts will get out.

Direct violent eviction and confiscation of land property.

If there is no land, the property will be confiscated.

If you don't have real estate, you can pick up the house, pick up the clothes, simply order, and even take the only iron pot.

I'd rather pick up a pile of broken copper and iron, than someone to pay off the debt.

The practice of Four Seasons Money Village has attracted the attention of the same industry.

In private, they all scolded that Four Seasons Qianzhuang had a brain disease.

It's a good thing to pay off debts.

Although the price of buying and selling people is cheap now, as long as you find a way, you will not lose money, and you can still make a lot of money in many cases.

However, it is not uncommon for Four Seasons Money to take people to pay off debts, and it is willing to strip off the borrower rather than people.

Tut-tut, this is really a peerless wonder.

Peers are watching the jokes of the Four Seasons Money Village.

The shopkeeper and the account room of the money bank are also very helpless.

The rules set by the owner can do anything else, but they don't want people.

She would rather spend money to hire people than a group of women and children to pay off her debts.

She's not a human trafficker.

She can't stop others from becoming human traffickers, but she herself will never participate in this business.

The money bank has a bunch of bad debts, don't expect to make a lot of money.

Only by opening mines can you make a fortune.

Xiao Yat has mineral resources, and he knows where there are mines.

Yan Yunge thought about it, if he wanted to make up for the deficit this year, he had to give up a lot of money to mine.

Gai Ming'er, the borrower defaulted on the debt, and directly pulled the man to work in the mine, and worked for half a year to pay off the debt.

This is much better than paying off debts with mother-in-law and children.

It's just that she is not sure, Xiao Yi will definitely help her.

She was a little worried.

If Xiao Yat didn't have idle mineral resources at hand, she would have to think of another way to make money.

returned to the capital and waited for five or six days, but without waiting for news, she thought that Xiao Yi had no hope.

I'm about to think of another way, this time in order to make money, even if I offend the family.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Yi actually asked her to meet, saying that it was to discuss mining.

Yan Yunge was overjoyed and went to the appointment on time.

The two met at a tavern.

The tavern business is average, with seven or eight tables, just for meals, but half of them are not full.

Walk through the lobby and straight to the backyard.

A small yard, under the shade of the trees, the seats and benches have long been neatly arranged.

Drinks and food were also placed on the table.

Xiao Yat sat in the shade of a tree, dressed in a long robe, with his head tilted sideways, and a gust of wind blew, blowing a strand of black hair.

The cheeks are half-covered and half-exposed, the black and white eyes, the long eyelashes, and the eyes are lowered for a moment, and the beauty is amazing for years.

For Yan Yunge, one of the biggest benefits of coming to the capital is that he can often see beautiful men of various styles.

This is a premium benefit.

Handsome little brother, the more the merrier.

She doesn't pick!

With pure appreciation, she looked Xiao Yi up and down.

Xiao Yi turned his head and looked at her, "I'm coveting my son's beauty again." You are greedy. ”

Poof!

Yan Yunge laughed.

She sat across from him and looked at him carefully, "You train every day in the barracks, why don't you get a tan?" ”

Xiao Yi was also looking at her, "You seem to be tanned!" ”

Bah!

Yan Yun is angry!
