In his eyes, the sister-in-law is a more terrifying existence than the eldest brother.

Although the eldest brother is fierce and has a high force value, he will never hurt people's lives, even if they offended the eldest brother before, they were just beaten and couldn't get out of bed for ten days and a half.

But those who came to find the sister-in-law's stubble were either bitten to pieces by wolves or worked as coolies on the stone mountain.

That's right, the group of people who were detained a few days ago are now beating stones on the stone mountain, and they have no wages, and they have to behave well to have steamed buns to eat!

Eat steamed buns in the morning, eat steamed buns at noon, and still eat steamed buns in the evening!

The treatment of those people and serious employees cannot be said to be very different, but it is not insignificant.

He now has a stable income of 70 yuan a day, which he once dared not think, is it possible that he is going to fall short now?

Wang Dahu looked at his sister-in-law with an indifferent face, and was so anxious that he was about to cry: "Sister-in-law, I really know that I am wrong, I don't dare to give my sister-in-law any more, beg my sister-in-law to give me another chance, I will never move this crooked mind again!" ”

Chi Xi looked at Wang Dahu, who admitted his mistake, his eyes flashed, and he said lightly: "Your treatment has been demoted, and the money for the steward is gone." If it is a repeat offense, it will be lowered again. ”

Wang Dahu was grateful: "Thank you sister-in-law, I will definitely change my mind and be a good man!" ”

Chi Xi nodded his chin: "Well, get up!" ”

Wang Dahu wiped a handful of tears and got up from the ground.

The corners of Hong Tao's mouth twitched when he saw it on the side, Chi Xi raised his eyes to look at Hong Tao as if he was nothing, and said politely with a smile: "Lord Hong, this is Wang Dahu, the steward of the tile kiln, and also the manager of the house in the back mountain, I have already informed them to sort out the room, and Lord Hong can go over with him to rest later." ”

After this day of getting along, Hong Tao felt that this Mrs. Xi was not simple.

Obviously she is just a peasant woman, but she does not have the short-sighted cowardice of the villagers, her father-in-law is not around, and she can take care of the family business very properly even if she is a pregnant woman.

He looked sideways at Wang Dahu, who was silent with his head drooping, and sincerely felt Wang Dahu's awe of Chixi, and felt more and more that this Mrs. Xi was really not simple.

On the way back to Xi's house, Hong Tao suddenly asked: "Mrs. Xi, I just heard that your Xi family treats workers very well?" ”

Chi Xi smiled and replied, "It can't be said to be very good, it's all the reward they get for their labor." They have created wealth and value for me, and I will be rewarded for it, even though they are paid and treated more than others, but in my opinion, they deserve it. ”

Hong Tao has never heard such remarks, he has worked in the county government for many years, and he has seen a lot of foreign masters, most of whom are people who have wealth but are very picky.

They wish they could pay the workers less, and when they let the workers work, they want one person to do the work.

As a result, many workers are obviously overworked, but they can't even solve the most basic food and clothing problems.

Chixi smiled and said, "My lord, you may not know. Our wages are based on a basic salary and a commission, and the average basic salary is only 15 or 20 yuan per person, but as long as they do a good job and sell things, they can get a commission. The amount of commission is about the same as the basic salary, and the average daily income of our workers last month was already 35 yuan. I don't dare to say that this is a good salary, only that they are very hardworking. ”

Hong Tao had never heard of this statement, but when he looked at the pond, he couldn't help but have some appreciation in his eyes.

This woman gives the workers a higher basic salary than the county seat, and she is willing to give a commission so that the workers can earn.

What kind of heart and wisdom is this?

No wonder the people of Dahe Village are full of praise for the Xi family.

"Mrs. Xi, I have two younger brothers who are not successful, and they have nothing to do at home, and my parents are very worried, I wonder if I can send Mrs. Xi to work?"

Hong Tao broke his heart for the two younger brothers in the family, but his two twin brothers were spoiled by their parents since they were children, and now they are seventeen years old and idle, playing cats and dogs all day long, and he can't even find a daughter-in-law, so anxious that his parents put pressure on him every day.

If you can send your younger brother to the Xi family to work, feel the atmosphere of the Xi family, and stay away from the doting of your parents, you may be able to change it.

Chi Xi was a little surprised, and joked with a smile: "Lord Hong, I do hard work here, whether it is firing tiles on the tile kiln or beating stones on the stone mountain, it is very hard, although our daily working time is four hours, but they are willing to work more to earn silver, and the hard work is self-evident." ”

These words are right in Hong Tao's arms.

The officials rested in the back mountain for the night, and when they woke up, the Xi family had already brought them breakfast, which was a meat bun with thin skin and a lot of filling, and a bowl of hot millet porridge.

"This lady Xi is really good at coming to things, serving us with good food and drink, so that we all have to do things for her."

Tao Hui smiled and sighed: "The scale of this Xi family's business is getting bigger and bigger, and the people of Dahe Village also respect the Xi family. ”

Although they work in the county government, they are not officials, and they have a monthly silver of 800 yuan, although they cannot make them rich, but their basic living expenses can be satisfied.

The family is also proud that they can work as officials in the government, but now compared with the workers on the Xijia tile kiln, the monthly income is even half less, which is really embarrassing and envious.

Hong Tao drank the last mouthful of millet porridge, looked up at Tao Hui with an emotional face, and said lightly: "If you are tempted, stay, we will truthfully report to the county commander." ”

Tao Hui waved his hand happily: "I'll just talk about it, where can I really stay?" We have been in the county government for so many years, and the monthly silver has finally risen a little, if I don't do it, won't it be a failure. ”

Working in the county government, although the monthly silver is not much, but there are many benefits from handling cases, as long as it is not too excessive, the county orders the adults to turn a blind eye.

They are also very knowledgeable, and after taking the benefits, they sincerely do things for the county magistrate, and they are afraid that one who accidentally offends the county magistrate will be investigated.

Now, even if they have other thoughts, they have to weigh whether they can retreat under the hands of the county commander.

After eating and drinking, the officials went to investigate the loss of medicinal materials.

Chixi got up early in the morning, and after breakfast, he picked up the account book and looked at it, Tian Cuihe walked into her room with a bowl of steaming sweet soup, and reminded in a low voice: "Xiaoxi, you have been watching for half an hour, rest for a while." You are pregnant, reading too many books is not good for your eyes, and drinking a bowl of sweet soup to warm your body. ”
