Chapter 402: Closing the Workshop

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

As long as Gu Yundong was by her side, Madam Yang was not afraid of pain. During the treatment, she did not even cry out. She only hugged Gu Yundong’s waist with extra strength.

After the doctor left, Tong Shuitao carried Madam Yang back to her room to rest. Only then did Gu Yundong express her gratitude to Jiang Yongkang.

Jiang Yongkang waved his hand. “It’s just running around. It’s not worth the thanks. Since there’s nothing else, I’ll leave.”

Gu Yundong asked him to stay for tea, but he rejected her.

As soon as he left, Aunt Ke pulled Gu Yundong to talk about the outcome of the matchmaker’s conversation.

Since both parties were interested, they should use their birthdates to calculate and see if they were suitable.

There was no need for Gu Yundong to worry about the rest. Aunt Ke felt that she was not her biological mother after all, so she had to explain every step to her.

Gu Yundong gave her the date of birth and went back to work.

The sugarcane was gone, and it was almost time for the workshop to close.

On the last day, Gu Yundong went to the Liu family’s courtyard.

!!..

Gu Yundong smiled when she saw that the courtyard had been tidied up and that the villagers were extremely reluctant to leave.

“It’s been hard on everyone for the past few months. Besides your salary in the last month, you will be given an additional 100 copper coins as a reward. Everyone, rest well.”

When everyone heard that there was a bonus of 100 copper coins, they instantly came back to their senses with faint excitement on their faces.

“There’s one more thing. I’ve told everyone last time that the workshop here has stopped. The new workshop will start work again in a few days, but this time, the workshop will recruit long-term workers. Have you thought about it when you go back?”

Wang Shuanzi was the first to respond. “I’ll do it.”

In any case, his family only had two acres of land and did not grow much crops. His wife could completely handle it alone. Before he worked in the Gu family, he had been looking for jobs for more than half a year. However, not only could he not find good work, but his salary was also low. He also had to spend money on food and accommodation outside.

Wang Shuanzi felt that there was no better job than working in the Gu family.

It was close to home, and he could help if anything occurred to his family. Moreover, the salary was high and stable. Most importantly, he had only been working in the Gu family for a few months, and his family had already eaten meat three to four times. His wife and children looked much better.

Xu Hua’er also raised her hand anxiously. “Me too. I’ll do it too.”

After Xu Hua’er got married, she was originally cooking, washing clothes, and taking care of the children at home. Occasionally, she had to go to the fields. Every day, she was so busy that her feet did not touch the ground, but she was still despised by her mother-in-law, who said that she was lazy all day and did not serve the man well.

Xu Hua’er felt wronged. She was not the only one who came to the Gu family’s recruitment that day. Her sister-in-law was also there. She did not have much hope at that time. She did not expect that she would be chosen instead of her sister-in-law.

From then on, her status in the family rose steadily. Her mother-in-law’s expression improved, and her sister-in-law stopped being sarcastic. When she returned, not only did she not have to serve her husband, but her husband also gave her foot wash. This treatment had never happened before.

Xu Hua’er understood how important this job in the Gu family was to her. It didn’t matter how much the salary was. Anyway, the family didn’t split up. She had to hand over the monthly earnings to her mother-in-law.

However, the feeling of having a say at home was completely different. Sometimes, the Gu family would even give them some food as a reward. She could bring it back and keep it.

Therefore, when the Gu family said that they wanted to recruit long-term workers, Xu Hua’er accepted without even thinking about it.

Not only her, but the others also agreed. Even if they were paid less, they still wanted to stay.

However, they did not expect that the treatment of the long-term workers would also make them excited..
