Zhao Juan and the others heard that there was still breakfast to eat, so they happily followed into the kitchen.

Tian Cuihe, as the head of the Xi family and the housewife of a high-ranking family for many years, is usually amiable, but at this time she is talking with a shelf, full of momentum, giving people a sense of oppression that must be obeyed.

"A few big girls, this is the first time you have come to work, and it is the first time you have dealt with me, so let's talk about the ugly things first. The salary given by our family is 12 wen a day, and some food will be given as a reward during the New Year's holidays, and if you do a good job, you will be rewarded with a penny a day every six months. ”

As soon as Tian Cuihe's words came out, Zhao Juan's eyes lit up.

As long as they do a good job, it is equivalent to thirteen dollars a day?

"Sister-in-law, don't worry, we will do a good job!"

Zhao Juan's eyes lit up and nodded firmly, full of strength: "Such a good opportunity can fall on our heads, it is because of your kindness and willingness to give the opportunity, we will definitely work hard and live up to expectations!" ”

"But if we don't do a good job, we'll change people!"

Tian Cuihe's always gentle eyes instantly sharpened, and her voice was slightly cold: "If you dare to reveal any details and steps of our egg hatching and seedling raising to others, we will definitely be held accountable and sent to the government, and we will not spare it!" ”

Tian Cuihe's voice was not high, but it made people tremble.

Zhao Juan hurriedly patted her chest and promised: "Sister-in-law Cuihe, don't worry, we are all honest people, and we will never betray the owner!" ”

Wang Xiangxiang also nodded: "I won't either." ”

Hu Juhua followed up and said: "If my sister-in-law is not at ease, just press our handprints." ”

This sentence is in the heart of Tian Cuihe, she took out the regulations written yesterday, read them to Zhao Juan and the others word by word, and then said: "If you don't have any opinions, you can put your fingerprint on it, and those who can write their names can also write their names and press them again." ”

How many peasant women in the village can read and write?

But their homes were surrounded by walls, and they had nothing to do, so they had nothing to calculate by the Xi family, so they all happily pressed their handprints.

After breakfast, Tian Cuihe said: "Today is the first time you come, I will make breakfast for you, we are all happy to work, but unless there are special circumstances, our family will not provide food." At noon, I will give you half an hour to go home for dinner. ”

The salary of 12 wen a day is quite high for peasant women, and there is still food during the New Year's holidays, and they can get a commendation every six months, which is already an excellent treatment for them.

Where do you dare to ask the Xi family for food?

Chixi and Tian Cuihe carefully taught Zhao Juan and the three of them to light the fire, control the indoor temperature, the number and interval of turning eggs, and ventilate the house on time, after explaining everything clearly, Chixi was about to make lunch, and Steward Liu came again.

This time, he not only brought chickens, ducks and goose seedlings, but also brought a piece of news that I don't know whether it was good or bad.

"Mrs. Xi, are you at home?"

Steward Liu smiled and said: "I came back this time, I wanted to invite Mr. Xi to go back with me, Lord Taishou came to our county, and after eating the chicken sent by the master, he was full of praise, and he intended to make friends with Mr. Xi." ”

Chi Xi knew that Xi Dazhuang didn't want to deal with the government, so he replied with a smile: "It's really unfortunate that my father-in-law went to the county seat early in the morning and can only come back before dark." ”

Liu Chunsheng looked regretful: "That's it! ”

Then he said: "I wonder if Mr. Xi will be free tomorrow?" Lord Taishou will stay in our county for three days before going back, and if he is free tomorrow, he will be invited to our lord's mansion to talk about it. ”

Chi Xi said with a smile: "My father-in-law is busy all day, and I don't know if he will be free tomorrow, Steward Liu will go to the house and sit, and when he comes back, I will tell him about it." ”

Liu Chunsheng felt that if Xi Dazhuang knew that Lord Taishou intended to make friends, he would definitely not refuse, so he stepped into the house with a smile.

Chixi entertained him with good tea and water, exchanged the seedlings with him, and kept people for a meal, and then politely sent people out of the door.

Tian Cuihe stepped forward and asked Chixi: "I seem to have heard him say something too guarded?" ”

Chi Xi nodded: "He said that Lord Taishou intends to make friends with Brother Da Zhuang." ”

Tian Cuihe's brows furrowed instantly: "What is the big deal?" ”

"I said I was full of praise for the chickens we sold." Chi Xi said: "This matter, wait for the big brother to come back and make a decision." ”

Tian Cuihe was worried.

When Xi Dazhuang returned home, night fell, the house flickered with dim candlelight, Chixi cooked the meal, as soon as Xi Dazhuang entered the house, she hurriedly scooped hot water in the basin, and said with a smile: "Now that the weather is getting colder and colder, wash your hands with hot water to warm up." ”

Xi Dazhuang laughed and put the specially bought coaxing pastries on the table, squatted down to wash his hands, and his whole body was a lot warmer, Tian Cuihe had already placed the dishes and chopsticks: "Come over to eat after washing your hands, you came back so late today, but what happened?" ”

Xi Dazhuang pulled Chixi to the table, he reached out to take the rice handed over by Tian Cuihe, and whispered: "I met an acquaintance, just say a few more words." ”

"Acquaintances?"

Tian Cuihe paused.

Xi Dazhuang nodded: "Zhang Xiongtian." ”

Tian Cuihe breathed a sigh of relief, after sitting down, Xi Dazhuang and Chixi also sat down, and after eating, Xi Dazhuang divided half of the pastries to his mother and then pulled Chixi to wash and sleep.

Lying on the bed, Chi Xi told Xi Dazhuang what Liu Chunsheng said, Xi Dazhuang was silent for a moment, turned sideways and hugged Chi Xi into his arms, and whispered: "Although the husband has no intention of making friends with Taishou, Liu Yuan's family does have to go to it." ”

Chi Xi didn't ask why she had to go to Liu Yuanwai's house, her hairy head rubbed Xi Da's strong and broad chest, and asked in a low voice, "You met Zhang Xiongtian today, but what did you say?" ”

"Tsk."

Xi Dazhuang squinted slightly, and said lightly: "He borrowed money for me." ”

"Borrow money?"

Chi Xi was a little stunned, and looked suspicious: "He won't be borrowing money for you to heal Chi Tao'er, right?" ”

Xi Dazhuang nodded: "Yes." ”

Chi Xi remembered that Xi Dazhuang had said that Chi Tao'er was not very seriously injured and was not worried about her life, but she needed to recuperate for a period of time to get better.

"Is he really determined to get involved with Chi Tao'er?" Chi Xi squinted slightly, and said lightly: "I'm not targeting anyone, I just think that if he gets involved with Chi Tao'er in the future, we can't leave him behind." ”

Chi Tao'er is pervasive, but if she finds even the slightest possibility, she will be a demon.

If Zhang Xiongtian is still kept, he will give Chi Taoer a chance to take advantage of it.

Xi Dazhuang agreed: "I have made it clear to him, and when he comes back from the county, I will let him pack up his things and leave." ”

Zhang Xiongtian took Chi Tao'er to the county seat for treatment, and threatened to marry her, which has nothing to do with their Xi family, and Xi Dazhuang will not care about such a trivial matter.

But he will never allow Chi Tao'er to have any possibility of approaching or hurting his daughter-in-law, let alone leaving Zhang Xiongtian as a hidden danger.
