In the ancestral hall of the Bai family, after the village chief Bai Guili talked to the men, the men told the family again, and the mothers-in-law naturally did not feel unhappy.

But everyone also has doubts in their hearts.

I used to chisel stones, I have never heard of food and shelter, and I ask to come back only once a month?

And pay such a high salary?

Why is that?

Some mothers-in-law are not down-to-earth, and when they talk to their own men, the men are also furious in their hearts: This is not going to kill you, right?

As soon as Bai Guili was told by the men, his heart was also abrupt, and after thinking about it, he simply went to Chen Qingshan's house to find someone to ask.

King Shangjun was there, Hu Yanlie was also there, and the two bigwigs listened to Bai Guili's words, and first glanced at each other.

The Yuan Jade Mine found in the Xuanwu Kingdom, with the passage of time, is only two months at most, and it is known to the world.

So once the mirror guards arrive, plus the forbidden guards, it doesn't matter if you keep it secret or anything.

After pondering for a while, King Shang Jun still chose to tell the truth: "The Yuanyu mine was found in the quarry, and everyone will definitely not be able to enter and exit freely." ”

"It's because if everyone is willing to go in and dig Yuanyu, the salary will increase greatly, but there will definitely be no freedom."

Village Chief Bai Guili was dumbfounded: "Yuan ...... Yuanyu mine?! ”

"Hmm. It's not appropriate to publicize this matter at present, you go back and tell the villagers in private, if you don't want to dig Yuanyu, you can also quit. King Shang nodded and said some more precautions, and the tone of the instructions was gentle.

Bai Guili, the village head, stepped on the cotton field and went to the ancestral hall, and once again struck the gong and called all the men in the village over, saying the relationship and the reason.

The men were also stunned!

Inside this white-flowered stone, Yuanyu is actually wrapped?!

I went this time, not to chisel stones, but to chisel Yuanyu?!

Blame had to let me go home!

No wonder it's still packed with food and accommodation!

No wonder the wages are so high......

Bai Guishui, the uncle of Baishan, who had been shrinking behind the crowd before, suddenly said: "I don't have tools, what should I do?" ”

Bai Guili looked at Bai Guishui, who was lame after cutting off food at home: "The tool mine will provide it, we don't have to worry about sending tools when we go to work every day, and collecting tools when we get off work." ”

Bai Guishui breathed a sigh of relief.

He had no money to buy tools.

Bai Guili didn't show it on his face, but he knew it: Bai Guishui was desperate, his two sons ran away, and his own leg was broken before, although he was later connected with the soil method, but he was lame.

If he doesn't do anything else, he will have to wait to starve to death.

That's it, as the village head, you can't watch him starve to death and not allow him to do things to earn money.

The men carried their clothes and bedding on their backs, and happily went to mine to earn silver beans, leaving the mothers-in-law to wash and cook at home and take care of the children, and gossip with Qiao Chu when they were free.

But on the first day of work, Bai Guili was called by Meng Hu.

Meng Hu looked serious: "That Bai Guishui in your village, after digging for a long time, there are only 20% of others, you can tell him to go back!" We don't want him. ”

Bai Guili was also stunned: Twenty percent?

This white precious water is real water!

But when he came back to his senses, Bai Guili could only smile bitterly, and explained Bai Guishui's situation, Now Meng Hu was stunned: "You mean, he is the former husband of that Si Niang?" ”

Bai Guili nodded.

Si Niang is now cooking in the mine, because of her quick hands and feet, she has already started to get paid.

Nowadays, because of the increase in the number of men who need to eat and live in the mines, the workload of cooking has surged, and Si Niang's wages have increased again.

Meng Hu nodded suddenly: "If I were Si Niang, I would rather be a self-reliant female household for this kind of waste." ”

But in the end, he didn't say anything to let Bai Guishui leave.

This can be regarded as selling Bai Guishui a face.

However, Bai Guili was stunned for a moment because of Meng Hu's words: he didn't say anything about Si Niang's self-reliance just now, only about Si Niang's reconciliation with Bai Guishui.

I didn't expect this Meng Hu to know that Si Niang was a self-reliant female household? !

Isn't this the responsibility of the subordinate officials?

The captain cares about this too?!

After thinking about it, Bai Guili asked Meng Hu: "Captain Meng, Si Niang hasn't caused you trouble these days when she is doing things here, right?" ”

Meng Hu waved his hand and smiled: "How come?" Si Niang is diligent in her work! ”

To tell the truth, when Si Niang first came, she was like a shriveled loofah, the whole person had no energy, and she was thin and dark.

But during this time, I ate with the men in the guard, but I ate a few more full meals, and it was like a loofah that had absorbed enough water, and the wrinkled and shriveled appearance was stretched all of a sudden!

Not only did I look a lot more energetic, but I also became a lot whiter and tenderer.

It's that shy energy...... always made Meng Hu's eyes a little hot.

Meng Hu smiled even more happily, and was about to let Bai Guili leave, when he suddenly thought of something and asked, "Then Bai Guishui came to the mine, didn't he come to Si Niang?" ”

Bai Guili was stunned, he really didn't know.

To say that after all, people used to be a family, if Bai Guishui can change his evil and return to the right, it is also possible to let Si Niang go back again.

After all, now that Bai Guishui is about to starve to death, it is estimated that no girl is willing to marry him, even if a widow remarries, it is difficult to consider him.

When Meng Hu saw that Bai Guili didn't speak, he understood, and immediately sank his face: "You go and tell Bai Guishui that if he works honestly in the mine, I can reward him with a bite ......to eat."

"If he peesters Si Niang and makes Si Niang unable to cook for everyone with peace of mind, don't blame me for being unkind."

Bai Guili was shocked in his heart, but his face was not obvious, and he bowed down and agreed: "Don't worry, I will definitely warn him and don't let him do anything!" ”

Leaving the guard, Bai Guili returned to the newly built dormitory, found Bai Guishui, who lived in the innermost, called him out, and scared him first.

"The captain said that you have done too little, only 20% of others, and I don't want you to come."

"If you want to stay, you can only give you two hundred silver beans a month. If you want to, you stay, if you don't, you just go. After Bai Guili finished speaking, it was up to Bai Guishui's reaction.

Bai Guishui has been worried in his heart since he got off work, because he himself knows that he has done much less than others.

But he couldn't help it, his legs were lame, his movements were slow, and those who moved fast all swarmed towards the easiest chisel, and when he rushed over with a limp, everyone had chiseled several pieces!

What's more, people are used to doing it, he never does manual work, and it's good to have so much after being tired for a long time!

Now when I heard Bai Guili say this, my heart was steady, and without saying a word, I nodded and agreed: "I'm willing." ”

It's better to die of exhaustion than to starve to death, not to mention that he has an old lady at home and a younger son, Bai Wei, who all open their mouths to eat.

Bai Guili was surprised when he saw that he readily agreed, originally thought that he would chirp.

After thinking about it, Bai Guili asked: "When you were eating today, did you see Si Niang......

The third watch is coming! Tomorrow continues!
