Chapter 117: Wonderland (8)
At the gate of the He family compound, hundreds of young and strong workers were picking up soil and filling the pits, while more men and women gathered at the gate of the He family compound, looking into the He family compound with a hopeful expression. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
At this time, it has been ten days since He Wei disappeared.
In the first five days, nothing changed much in the He family, except for a large pit in front of the door, and the blacksmith shed moved into the He family's compound.
As usual, the girls "sit" at sunrise and rest at sunset. Every day, I would come to the willow tree by the lake to read, play the piano, and play chess. Looking at them, it was as if nothing had happened to the He family.
And so, until the morning of the fifth day, when the girls suddenly went into action in pairs. They first went to a slave market, where they bought some able-bodied slaves, and then went to the surrounding villages, from which they hired many farmers.
These people have only one job, to fill in the pits. The He family provides tools, food and accommodation if you need it. Ten taels of silver per person per day, and there is no limit to the number of hours to be worked, and there is no overseer.
There is no limit to working hours, there is no supervision, and ten taels of silver per person per day, cash settlement!
It's giving money!
In Chiyang City, I have never heard of a master who recruits workers like this!
Therefore, in just five days, the news that the He family's compound was recruiting workers, and the news that the hostess was stupid and had a lot of money spread to the streets and alleys of Chiyang City. As long as you don't have a livelihood at hand, you are willing to try your luck here.
The mistress of the He family turned a blind eye to those who came to try their luck, and neither drove them away nor rewarded them with work. She only does one thing every day, and that is to sit by the lake with her group of sisters, reading, playing the piano, and playing chess.
"Madam, we are from Da Zhuangzhuang, and we heard that you are recruiting people here, so we want to ...... Please, reward me for your work. You can rest assured that our ancestors were all locals and honest people. We work hard!"
"Boss, look at me, look at my head. Look at my arm, I'm strong! Just this kind of hole, you give me a month, and I can fill it up alone!"
"Madam, we are all daughters-in-law of the Wang family in the east, and tenants of our He family. A few days ago, I saw that our He family had caused a disaster, and my husband's family sent us to take a look, if there is anything we need help with, Madame, you can tell me!"
"Madam, I'm ......"
Twittering, noisy, no matter what they say or what they say, they just want to ask for a job, want to earn money in a certain errand in the He family.
But Bihe ignored them, and everyone ignored them, turning a blind eye and going their own way.
As a result, there are many people who retreat in the face of difficulties. At the same time, more people rushed to hear the news. And with the passage of time, the people who come here to seek wealth are no longer limited to "honest people", and many people with bad intentions have begun to come here in groups to try their luck.
At first, these people only dared to hide behind the crowd and watch from a distance, but as the number of times they came, they also became "brave", and before they knew it, they had dared to speak out and tease Bihe.
"Yo! Mrs. He really deserves to be born in Oiran, she can play this piano, she really wants to get it!"
"I think Mrs. He's piano playing is average, but it's just that my brother's lover has a shih shih in her eyes, so I think it sounds good!haha!"
"No, no, that's not right. No, Xi Shi is in the eyes of my brother's lover, but Xi Shi is a lover in my eyes! Because I saw my brother coming, Mrs. He's piano will play so well! Hahahahaha!"
"Hahaha! That's right! That's right! Mrs. He must be thoughtful, lonely, and have a crush on our brother!"
"Hahahahaha......"
Brother Mi and the others said very loudly, the wind was presumptuous, and they were also very happy. But the women still turned a deaf ear to their words and behaved very indifferently. Therefore, the happiness of Brother Yi and others seems very silly and very boring.
"Hey biaozi! Our brother is blessed to see you, I warn you, don't toast and don't eat and drink!"
"In the entire Chiyang City, there are few women who can enter the eyes of our brother, don't be embarrassed!"
"He's ma! Lao Tzu is talking to you! Do you hear it! You still play, you still play! Okay, Lao Tzu will let you play!"
"Strip her of her clothes and let her bullet naked!"
"Yes! strip her naked!"
Such clamors have appeared from time to time, especially in the last two days, and they have become more and more arrogant. And today, this group of people is even more like a chicken blood, looking at Bihe and the others with an undisguised flash of desire in their eyes!
The younger brother waved his hand to signal his younger brothers to be calm, and then said with a hypocritical smile: "Mrs. He, my eldest brother is also a well-known figure in Chiyang City, and he has always said the same. Today I brought my brothers with me for no other purpose than to get an errand. ”
Seeing that Bihe and the others had stopped talking, Brother Yi frowned and continued: "Mrs. He, let's talk about it directly! I am also very sad that He Fu suddenly encountered a catastrophe this time, so I have the courage to bring my brothers here. Nothing else, as long as Mrs. said a word, let our brother be the He family's nurse. After that, in the water and in the fire, you may command. ”
In the water and in the fire, despite the commands?
If they let this group of people become nurses, I am afraid that the girls' lives will really be in dire straits in the future!
In this regard, everyone present could see that many kind-hearted people were also silently praying for the He family, praying that the ancestors of the He family would never let Mrs. He recruit this group of people into the door.
Their prayers obviously worked, and Bihe turned a deaf ear to his brother's words, still playing the piano in his hand with pleasure, and the expression on his face was as calm as a frozen lake, and there would not be a trace of ripples even if the night wind howled.
"Stinky biaozi! I warn you! My brother has a good temper, but our brother is not good-tempered! Give you a quarter of an hour to think about it, if you dare not agree to our brother's request, we will do you now!"
"Yes, do her, and sell her back to the Friends Pavilion!"
Zheng !!
The appearance of the word Penglai Pavilion finally made a wave in Bihe's heart, and a string in her hand suddenly snapped, making a piercing sound. The snapped strings cut Bihe's hand, and blood spilled from her fingertips, slowly dripping onto the surface.
The sound of the piano stopped, and the whole world fell silent. Quiet without warning, but taken for granted.
"When I was in Penglaikaku, I was an Oiran, the first talented woman, and the center of attention. I have a smile on my face every day, but I never smile in my heart. ”
