Song Ming’s daughter-in-law stumbled forward two more steps before she could steady herself.
“Go on!”
Seeing her dawdle, Song Ming lifted his foot and kicked her. He didn’t care if she signed a contract of sale, as long as she could earn twenty coins a day.
For the first time, Song Ming’s daughter-in-law dodged, “This bundle of firewood is worth several cents, if we throw it here and someone else picks it up, a few cents will be lost.”
Song Ming loved money like his life, and a few cents was his heart’s desire, but twenty cents a day was more important, “You go on your way, I’ll carry the firewood.”
This was the first time Song Ming had said he would carry the firewood since they were married, and his daughter-in-law was frozen in place.
“Don’t go yet!”
Song Ming’s daughter-in-law hurriedly walked towards the Song family.
Song Ming squatted down and tried to carry the firewood on his back, but he failed to get up after using his strength twice. He was so angry that he kicked on the firewood, “Stinky b*tch, cutting so much firewood, how come you didn’t die of exhaustion!”
……
“Mother ……”
Song Ming’s daughter-in-law had just walked through the door when Erma, who had been sitting at the entrance to the house, darted over and jumped into her arms.
In just a few days’ time, Erma’s face was rosy, her eyes were brighter, and she seemed to have grown taller.
Song Ming’s daughter-in-law stroked her head, “Is your sister Yue’er here?”
“In the house.”
Er Ya pulled her’s towards the house. She and Song Wan Yue lived in the same house, Gu Yi had long since left, and at the moment there was only Song Wan Yue in the house.
“Yue, Yue’er.”
Song Ming’s daughter-in-law walked into the house in a formal manner, her hand subconsciously going to pinch the corner of her coat, but then she held it back, “Is the family, is the family recruiting, is the family recruiting?”
“Yes.”
“Then I can ……”
“Auntie sit.”
Erma pulled Song Ming’s daughter-in-law over and sat down.
“Auntie, this recruitment requires a five-year contract of sale.”
“I can do it, not to mention five years, ten years will do.”
Song Ming’s daughter-in-law said eagerly.
“Auntie listen to me first, this time the recruitment is for the hotpot base, which is a secret recipe. The reason why the workers are asked to sign a contract of sale is to prevent anyone from leaking the secret recipe, can you do that, auntie?”
“I can, I, I’m very tight lipped, I, I won’t say anything to the outside.”
“What if he beats you? What if he threatens you with two children? Can you still keep your mouth shut?”
This he that Song Wangyue was referring to was self-evidently Song Ming, and back when she was trying to recruit people she had thought that Song Ming’s daughter-in-law might ask to come over to do the work.
“I, I, I ……”
Song Ming’s daughter-in-law didn’t know what to say, her two daughters were her life blood, if Song Ming really threatened her with her two children, she really didn’t know whether she would say it or not.
“Auntie think about it.”
“I, I, I ……”
Song Ming’s daughter-in-law lowered her head nervously and rubbed the corners of her clothes again, looking at Song Ming’s stance, if she didn’t beg Yue’er to let her work in the workshop today, Song Ming would go back and beat her up. It’s not that she’s afraid of pain, but she doesn’t want Erma to see her hurt.
Song Wan Yue sighed and got up and went to Grandma Song’s house to ask for sixty copper coins, took her hand and put it in her hand, “This is the money for firewood for the next few days, take it back first. If you insist on joining the workshop, it’s not impossible, but you have to sign two deeds of sale, one for you and one for Erma. I will also talk to Gu Yi, and if you ever leak the secret recipe, even if you are forced to, I will send you and Daya and Erma to the authorities.”
……
Song Ming’s daughter-in-law walked out of the gate.
Song Ming just happened to be dragging the bundle of firewood along.
When he saw her, he immediately threw the firewood away and took a few steps forward, but when he thought of Song Lin’s warning not to take a step near the gate, he stopped in his tracks, “You’re a dead man, why don’t you hurry up and get over here!”
Song Ming’s daughter-in-law walked over quickly, and without waiting for him to ask, she said, “I’ll tell you about it at home, I’ll send the firewood in first.”
Song Ming’s foot lifted up and then retracted with hatred, this stinking b*tch, he was in a hurry, what was he waiting to say at home.
Song Ming’s daughter-in-law sent the firewood in and quickly came out, walking home with her head down.
Song Ming followed in stride, and just as he walked into the courtyard, he could no longer resist asking, “What did that dead girl say?”
“Yue’er said that if I wanted to enter the workshop I would have to sign the deed of sale for both me and Erma.”
“What?”
Song Ming’s voice drew up for a moment.
When Song Gua heard this, she came out of the house with her little feet turned upside down, holding a broom in her hand, and without saying a word, she shoved it into Song Ming’s hand, “If you don’t beat the roof in three days, here, beat it hard!”
“Mother, don’t add to the trouble.”
Song Ming returned the broom back to Song Gua’s hand, he now wanted to know why he had to sign two deeds of sale.
“Yue, Yue’er said that she was afraid I would tell you the secret recipe.”
Song Ming thundered, “She’s defending herself against me?”
Song Ming’s daughter-in-law cringed uncontrollably and didn’t dare to respond.
Song Ming was so angry that he copied the broom lump that was shoved back into Song Gua’s hand and threw it a long way, “This dead girl, I, I, I ……”
Song Ming’s daughter-in-law shook her voice, “If not, I, I’d rather not go.”
“Go! Why not? It’s just two deeds of sale, sign!”
“That, that, that ……”
“Get lost and go cook.”
……
The whole of Song’s village exploded, and those who had been called to the village head’s house went home with differing opinions and a lot of noise.
The village chief didn’t wait until dark for anyone to sign up, so he was furious and dropped his cigarette.
They were all short-sighted and did not want such a good opportunity, but they would regret it in the future.
Somehow people from the surrounding villages heard the news and the village chiefs from several villages came in pairs, despite the darkness. This was a great opportunity that had fallen from the sky, even if they were allowed to have two people from one village.
The village chief was annoyed, and when he saw them, he didn’t feel good, waving his hand, “Go, go, go, I don’t care about you now.”
“Old Song, this is your fault.”
One of the village chiefs lifted up the hem of his shirt and squatted down in front of the village chief, and the rest of them followed suit.
“By rights, you helped us out with the hanging of the fields, we shouldn’t have gotten ahead of ourselves. But who let us still be poor, we don’t ask for anything else, one, can we have just one from the village?”
“What are you asking for? Don’t you know that you have to sign a contract of sale? If anyone leaks the secret recipe during this period, they will be sent to the court.”
The village chiefs didn’t care, “Don’t worry, we’ll definitely choose the one who’s quick and tight-lipped, if she dares to leak the recipe, even I won’t spare them.”
“That’s right.”
The village chief glared, “You old guys, you’re deliberately coming to see me laugh, aren’t you? I tell you, don’t even think about it, there’s no way.”
Seeing that he was a bit anxious, the few village chiefs did not dare to say anything else.
“Fine, fine, fine, then let’s take a step back, can we use our village’s for the building of the house?”
“All thinking good thoughts, one by one, go back to where you came from, our village people are still idle, why should we use your people?”
