Chapter 549 It's Not Your Money That Is Being Spent
."Bah! So it was you lot all along, twisting the truth and bullying honest people!""Eight out of ten, that grandson's illness is probably an excuse he made up to gain sympathy and get money.""Come on,...The entrance to Village Head Zhao's house was already packed with people, almost the entire village seemed to have come.
Fáng Dàzhù stood silent, pushing his way to the center of the crowd, wanting to see what Fáng Jǐnxiù was going to do.
Fang Jinxiu stepped forward, and Zhao, the village head, stood before these two rows of people and began to introduce them.
"This is Fang's third daughter, I presume you all know her."
"Fang's daughter-in-law is now the daughter-in-law of the wild village clan head. You guys, don't ask anything for now. If you want to get by, quickly show off your skills and impress them."
Over twenty people looked at each other, none daring to make a move.
When the village head, Zhao, called them over, he didn't say anything. Now he's being vague too, what does he mean by wanting to get by
Fang Jinshu waved her hand at him, "Zhao Shu, let me speak."
Village Head Zhao nodded, then turned to the crowd and instructed, "You all listen to what Miss Fang has to say first."
"Fellow villagers, I had Village Chief Zhao call you all here because I want to give you an opportunity to make money to support your families. I need you to demonstrate your skills first. If I'm satisfied, I will hire you all to come back to Yemiao Village with me."
The treatment is, thirty jin of food per month plus sixty wen of work money.
Before Fang Jinshu could finish her sentence, the audience erupted in a cacophony of voices and heated discussions.
"What, thirty catties of grain and sixty coins for work!"
"When did Fang's little maid become so wealthy"
Before they had finished discussing, someone impatiently raised their hand and shouted out.
"I! I can do carpentry work."
"I can do masonry work."
“I, I can count!”
"Fang's little girl, can you forge iron"
Below, the crowd was a cacophony of voices, everyone shouting as if afraid of being left out.
Fang Jinshi is afraid they won't shout, if they shout it's a good thing.
"Okay, okay, everyone calm down, one by one."
"Whatever crafts you have, bring your family members' belongings or objects you've made before, and I'll inspect them."
If you pass the test, you can come work with me at Nomura.
When Fang Jinshui shouted, many people had already started running back, to find their families.
When Village Head Zhao called them over, he didn't make it clear what he wanted, so they came empty-handed.
The scene became once again both lively and chaotic.
Fang Jinshi was a little dumbfounded. She thought it would take a lot of persuasion to get so many people to follow her over mountains and valleys to work in another place.
Unexpectedly, she had only just mentioned the work wages when the villagers became so excited.
Fang Dazhu was stunned. This was such a big deal, Fang Jinshu hadn't told her family a word!
Thirty catties of grain for a month, only sixty wen! Isn't this like letting the water flow into someone else's field
Fáng Dàzhù was so anxious that he couldn't stand it anymore in the crowd. He squeezed to Fáng Jǐnxù's face, intending to grab her and walk aside to find out what was going on.
The result was blocked by Zongyu. Zongyu stood there like a copper wall and iron wall, and Fang Dach Zhu couldn't take another step forward.
His hand also retracted.
"Fang Jinshi! How come I haven't heard you mention such a big thing"
"You're really burning through your money! Do you know how precious thirty catties of grain are right now It's worth more than gold!"
Do you know how much a kilogram of rice costs at the grain store in Lishui Town
"Fifty wen per jin!"
"Thirty catties of grain is worth one and a half taels of silver, and you still have to give them an additional sixty wen Are you crazy"
"Why are you asking me about how much I pay others"
"It's not your money anyway."
Fang Dazhu got angry, “Why isn’t this my money!”
"You all were raised by me, everything you have belongs to our Old Fang family, of course including the silver you earn."
"No, my money all belongs to the clan, including me. I am still part of the clan now."
"From the moment you forced me to sign the indenture and sent me to my master's house, I have had nothing to do with your Fang family."
Fang Jinshu said as she took out the deed of sale from her arms and stuck it directly on the door of Zhao Village Head's house.
Many people in Fangjiacun could recognize characters and rushed forward to knock.
"It's really the deed of sale for Fangjia's third daughter, and it even has a record of how Fang Dazhu sold her."
Fāng Jǐnxiù pointed at the last line of the deed, staring at Fāng Dàzhú as he read it out loud.
"The last sentence, from now on, birth, old age, sickness, death, honor and disgrace, rise and fall, have nothing to do with the Fang family."
"Wasn't it you who had Fang Jianren write it by hand"repared by Ah Yu's wife for him, don't take it.""When we find a water source, I'll let you have your fill."Zongping snorted.So many people there wanted to drink Zong Yu's water, but none of them dared...
