Chapter 156: Refusal to Pay Wages
Ziping and the others entered the door and saw that Shen was not there, so they asked, "Ziqing, where is my aunt?" Your brother-in-law came to pick me up, I'm going home, come and tell my aunt, my dad is still in the school. ”
Ziqing wanted to keep her for a while, but she really didn't like the eldest brother-in-law looking at the furnishings in his house with bright eyes, and glanced at his eyes from time to time, so he said: "Sister, what's the hurry, my mother is out, my sister will go back first, and when my father and my mother come back, I will let them go over." ”
Ziping listened to Ziqing's words, so she had to take her husband and children out of the house, and when she saw Master Xu who was busy in the garden, she asked, "This is Zifu and Zilu's new house?" I didn't expect Zifu to get married, I didn't catch up, when I was a child, we were the same age, older than you, all day long up the mountain to fetch firewood and loose hair, the firewood at home was made by the two of us, and I haven't seen him for a few years. ”
"By the way, Sister Ping, my brother is already a lifter, don't you know yet? At the age of seventeen, he was lifted, he is now studying in the capital of the country, and he will come back for the New Year this year, and his sister will be able to see him when he comes home? I'm afraid that when my brother knows that you are like this, he should be angry that you don't take good care of yourself. My sister is fine, she should go home and walk more. Ziqing said deliberately.
"That's it, my sister is right, I often go home to see, and the family of the province is worried. I have also persuaded your sister many times, but your sister has always been a bull temper, often saying that she is poor, afraid that everyone will dislike her, and she is embarrassed to see her family. But, little sister, what kind of country is the eunuch, what is it doing? Hu Baisong said.
"What did my sister say? How can a family care about this, there are people who can't see it for a while, who doesn't dislike it, who is not poor from that time, how can it be like some people, and if you can't move, you don't want relatives. Six relatives don't recognize? ”
Ziping listened and was silent, just right. Shen and Ziyu came back with a basket of eggs, and when they saw Ziping, they asked, "Do you have time to come and walk around today?" It's been okay these days, and my aunt said I'll go over and see you today. I'll get you some eggs to make up for it. ”
"Auntie, I'm going home. Bai Song came to pick me up and said that he would live a good life in the future, and he would go out to find something to do as soon as he returned. I won't bother my aunt, there are still a lot of things to do at home, and the vegetable patch has not been sorted out for a few days. Ziping cried again.
Shen Shi listened to it with a sour heart. Helplessly, as the old saying goes, it is better to demolish ten temples than to destroy a family, so I had to take Ziping's hand, tell her more, and bring her a basket of eggs, two bacon, two cured chickens, a bag of flour, and a bag of rice. Sent them away.
Ziqing asked Shen curiously, why didn't he give a few pieces of money or a few taels of silver. Shen said: "Silly child, I gave the silver directly in front of her husband. In a few days, he will send your cousin home to ask for it, and this money may fall into someone's hands, and it will not reach your cousin, so it is better to give you some food directly, and the adults and children will not starve. In the future, when I am not there, she will come to the house, and you should remember to let her take some food and go, so that the silver will not be necessary. ”
Ziqing had to agree when she heard this, and as she was talking, Qiu Yu came over and asked, "Ziping, are they leaving?" Daddy's meaning was to let Ziping live for a few more days, but she had to go back to cook for the man. What good guys? When he entered the door, he was still aggressive, and when he saw the new clothes on Ziping and the child, he immediately changed his face. In front of his father and mother, he said a lot of good and soft words, as if he didn't spend money, and if he promised well, he would definitely be good to Ziping, what's the use? Ziping is soft-hearted and can't help her at all. ”
"Sister-in-law, who is going to spend money on saying good things? You're confused. Ziqing asked with a smile.
"But no, I see that she is angry and hateful, distressed and blind, and the days of suffering in the future are still ahead? That man is not a good thing, that son is also pampered by her, and he is also unconscious, he has been making trouble for the past few days, it's okay to leave, your grandpa and grandma can rest for a few days, the three mao is here these days, and that can be eaten. I'm annoyed to see it, and I don't have anyone to worry about. Da Mao said that he had separated the family, and took his daughter-in-law to rent a house in the city, not caring about a few small ones in the family at all, it was better to be righteous with Ermao, Ermao said, he was married and separated, but this new house was kept by his father, and he built it himself. Qiu Yu said.
Shen Shi listened and asked: "What has Ermao done outside all these years, does the family know?" ”
"Who knows, I said that I went to some big city by the sea in a neighboring province, and I only went for a few months, and I got back thirty taels of silver, the eldest sister is a foolish person, she never cares about these things, and she can take care of anything else when she sees the silver? I don't think it's any good. What can he do with a broken leg? It is to hire someone, who will hire him, and what will he do? I'm afraid I'm still doing my old job. It's good that I'm going to get married, who knows if I can live in peace after I get married? Qiu Yu said.
"How's that for good? Don't get into trouble again? These two people are really confused, how can they not ask if the child's money is from the right path? I didn't use my mind in the right place, I didn't do a good job at home, and I didn't take care of my children well. ”
Qiu Yu listened and replied, "Isn't it." The two talked again, and Qiu Yu took his leave.
Two more days passed, the day when Lin Kangping should go home, but he didn't see anyone for a long time, Ziqing was very anxious, afraid that something would happen, and he couldn't sleep well all night. The next afternoon, Lin Kangping limped into the house, Ziqing was startled when he saw it, and hurriedly stepped forward to touch this and that, and touched all over his body.
Lin Kangping saw that he hurriedly grabbed Ziqing's hand and said: "Qing'er, don't worry, it's not a big deal, it's just a broken foot, I fell down in order to save a hunter, who knows that it was a blessing in disguise, this hunter gave me a few good skins in order to thank me, and I bought all his skins, and waited to be transported to the capital, where the winter is cold, and it can be sold at a good price, I left some of the best ones for you." ”
Ziqing saw that there was really nothing wrong with Lin Kangping's feet, Zeng Ruixiang was still not at ease, and finally found Dr. Zhou to rub it, two days later, although it was not very good, it was also better, Lin Kangping stayed for another day, and Ziqing let him go out.
In the blink of an eye, in late April, the wheat will be harvested, Master Luo and they will stop working for three days, Mr. Tong said to go out and travel for a few days, look at the nearby mountains and rivers, and by the way see what strange flowers and plants there are, so as to move to decorate the garden, Ziqing had to let Zeng Ruixiang find a familiar terrain to accompany him, who knew that Master Xu was very interested in listening, he would go into the mountains every year, and he was very familiar with the mountains nearby. The Shen family had no choice but to prepare enough dry food for them and send them out.
Shen and Ziqing had just sent people away, and Sanmao came over to ask for wages, and these days Qingqing was so busy that he almost forgot about him, and he didn't know what he was doing at the construction site? After thinking about it, Ziqing said: "Sanmao, I remember that it seems that it has been less than a month since you came to do things, besides, we generally pay wages after the completion of the project, how can you be paid halfway through the project, I can't break the rules because of you alone, besides, your contract is still in Kangping's hands, but it was said at the beginning, but there is no salary for not completing the required work." ”
"Cousin, just settle my salary, you don't lack this, your work is too tiring, I really can't do it, it's bitter and dirty, otherwise, you can find me something light?" Sanmao asked.
"That's not good, I don't have anything else to do, you don't want to do it, you don't want to do it, it was Grandma who insisted that I keep you, and I didn't invite you here." Ziqing said impatiently, as soon as she heard this, she didn't need to ask, and she knew that she was not a hard-working person.
Before Sanmao could say anything, Shen said on the side: "Sanmao, it's not that my uncle said you, Ziqing really can't break the rules because of you, besides, since you signed the contract, we will do it according to the contract, you can't do not do much, just play a fancy job, we will also give you the original salary, in this way, who can do a good job among the workers outside?" We can't afford to lose the big with a small thing. ”
When Sanmao saw that even the Shen family had spoken, he would definitely not be able to get this salary today, so he snorted and turned around and left angrily.
Shen Shi said with some concern: "He will definitely go to your grandmother and ask me to say that he directly rejected him at the beginning, why is Fei doing this?" ”
"I was going to reject him directly, Grandma they will keep grinding, it's better to let him do it for a while, and let them calculate us, we can't calculate them? It wasn't us who came to the door, it was he who came to our door, and he really thought we were easy to bully? Knead with them? ”
"Then you have to hold it, your grandfather and grandmother are afraid that it is not so easy to dismiss."
Sure enough, the day after Sanmao left, Tian and the old man came to the door, and deliberately picked the time when Zeng Ruixiang was at home, Tian asked when he saw Ziqing: "Ziqing, why didn't you calculate Sanmao's salary yesterday?" ”
"Grandpa, grandma, the reason I told Sanmao yesterday, he signed the contract at the beginning, and the matter was not done, where did the salary come from? Besides, he said that my family's affairs are dirty and tired, and he plans to stop doing it, I asked others yesterday, Sanmao has not done much serious work on the construction site these days, and the things that people have demarcated for him have only done half of it, I haven't settled accounts with him, so Master Luo They have a stomach of opinions, you say, how will I hire people to do things in the future, go home as soon as possible, there is no salary. Ziqing said.
"Second brother, look, that's how Ziqing talks to us? Even a few of his relatives' wages are still planned to be saved, have you done this? Tian asked Zeng Ruixiang.
Zeng Ruixiang raised his eyes to look at Ziqing and said, "Mother, what did you say to Ziqing at the beginning." How can you make a circle without rules? In the future, how will Ziqing manage other people's affairs? ”
"That's it, grandma, could it be that when you agreed to sign the contract, you thought about beating me up, and you still calculated me a long time ago? Co-authored, all the families you promised my father and mother to live their own lives are fake? I deserve to be bullied, and I have to send money to others? Grandpa, grandma, if you don't like me, you can favor whoever you like, you never treat me as a granddaughter, I just ask you not to calculate me again. After Ziqing finished speaking, she went back to the back room angrily. (To be continued)
