Chapter 186 Recruitment
Tang Luwu returned from the vegetable garden and saw Tang Mingxiu coming from the opposite side. She moved to the side and gave way to him.
Tang Mingxiu stopped in front of her and greeted her with a smile: "Sister Luwu."
Tang Luwu's eyes were filled with confusion, clearly not understanding what Tang Mingxiu was trying to say. Their two families had long since fallen out, and calling her "sister" made her feel a little uneasy.
"Is something wrong?"
"Sister Luwu, I have a great job here. If you work with me, I guarantee you'll earn more than five taels of silver every month." Tang Mingxiu lowered his voice and said, "I haven't told anyone about this. There's only one position available, and if everyone knew, they'd probably fight over it."
"No, I'm fine now. I don't want to go out to work." Tang Luwu said and was about to leave, but Tang Mingxiu stopped her. She was a little impatient and looked at Tang Mingxiu and said, "Move aside."
"Sister Luwu, I know you made money with Qin Huiyin. But you have to understand that the money Qin Huiyin earned belongs to them, mother and daughter, and in the end it will not fall into the hands of you brothers and sisters. They are trying to coax you with nice words now, but you will be useless in the future, and their true colors will be exposed. Apart from anything else, you have seen the fate of the Song family father and son, right? Silly sister, you have to think about yourself!"
"If that's the case, I will continue to make myself useful, so that Mother and Yinyin can always use me. What's the uselessness? In this world, the useful things are kept, and the useless things are thrown into the wasteland. Just like these weeds, they are useless, so they are pulled out. These seedlings, because they are useful, need to be watered and fertilized regularly. Don't try to drive a wedge between our family. I'm not that stupid."
Tang Luwu said this, glared at Tang Mingxiu angrily, and left with the vegetable basket.
She took a few steps and turned to look in Tang Mingxiu's direction. "Besides, I'm not a fool. How could I not know how capable I am? I don't have any special skills. Why can I only get five taels a month? You know what kind of work you do."
Tang Mingxiu looked at Tang Luwu's back, a malicious look flashing in his eyes: "This Tang Luwu has been with Qin Huiyin for a long time, and she has actually grown a brain."
Tang Mingxiu deliberately seduced Tang Luwu.
The more harmonious the Tang family was, the more she wanted to disrupt that harmony and bring unrest to their home. Unfortunately, Tang Luwu, the dumbest one, had become smart, so this plan couldn't be implemented.
Tang Mingxiu continued to look for the next target.
Not long after she left, she saw a woman squatting by the river washing clothes.
She was wearing thin clothes, and her beautiful figure was faintly visible.
She heard that Tang Jizu had taken a concubine and had a son. Now it seems that this person is Liu, who is as charming as Li Taohua.
……
Tang Lvwu went back in a rage. Xiang Chuntao, who was making stuffed tofu nearby, saw her expression and said with a smile, "It's so rare! Someone can actually make our Lvwu angry."
Qin Huiyin came out and looked at Tang Luwu puzzledly: "Sister, what's wrong?"
"I just ran into Tang Mingxiu," Tang Luwu said angrily. "She asked me to work for her and offered me five taels of silver a month. She also said a lot of nonsense, all bad things about our family."
"Five taels?" Xiang Chuntao's fingers trembled, and the soy milk almost spilled out. "Oh, am I kidding you, or is this true?"
"Aunt Wang is recruiting people everywhere. She said that Tang Mingxiu's husband is very rich and has a big business. Now she wants to recruit ten female workers, aged between twelve and fifteen." Wang Juying said.
"What can such a little girl do?"
"He said he needed young girls to entertain guests. His husband is in the silk business."
Zhou said enviously, "What a pity, I don't have a little girl at home."
Pang Zi was hanging clothes nearby and said calmly, "If you go to the city and find a job, how much do you think you can earn?"
"That depends on what you do, but it's definitely no more than 500 wen. Those men who work as apprentices only make 500 wen a month. As for me, I have no skills and I can't read, so I can't make more than 400 wen."
"Then what makes you think any little girl can earn five taels of silver? Five taels of silver is indeed tempting, but who knows what the price behind it is." Pang Shi said, "Now you should support your brother-in-law and Dazhu well. If you can help them, then do so. If not, then prepare meals for them. Your husband and son can earn money, so why do you need to worry about money?"
"Sister-in-law, you are really insightful. I still have a lot to learn from you." Zhou said sincerely.
Li Taohua came back cursing and tidying up her wet clothes from time to time.
"What's going on?" Several women came over.
"I just had a fight with that bitch named Wang." Li Taohua said proudly, her hands on her hips, "That bitch drank a lot of water. I can swim, so I'm not afraid of her."
"Aunt Wang has become bolder today. She used to avoid Aunt Taohua, but today she actually dared to fight." Xiang Chuntao exclaimed, "Is it because her daughter is back and she feels like she has someone to back her up?"
"That's right. She boasted all over the village that her son was a tycoon and had just brought her ten taels of silver. She also said that her daughter had married a rich man and that she would live a comfortable life with her daughter and her son-in-law in the future. If she was just showing off, I wouldn't have bothered with her. But she mocked me sarcastically, saying that I was showing my daughter around all day and that no man would dare marry her in the future. How could she say anything about my daughter? What kind of shameful thing did her own daughter do that made her think everyone in the village had lost their memory? I immediately stood up to her and asked her to take the villagers to her son-in-law's shop to take a look. Only after they had a clear understanding would they send him to work."
"Mom, change your clothes first." Qin Huiyin reminded, "The weather is getting cold, don't catch a cold."
Li Taohua responded and strode in.
Xiang Chuntao said, "Aunt Taohua is right. If the villagers really want to send their daughters to work and earn money, they should first find out what kind of shop the other party is. It's impossible for their daughter to be taken away by someone just like that. If it were me, I would definitely go and see where they took her. I have to find out where they took her, what job they took her to, and where I can find her in the future."
"Unfortunately, not everyone cares so much about their daughter's life or death." Qin Huiyin said the reality. "Just wait and see, even with my mother's reminder today, someone will still send their daughter over."
"Eight hundred coins is not a low price. Men working on the dam only earn three hundred coins. Just think about how tiring the work is. If my daughter can bring the money back, many families in the village will agree." Zhou said.
