Chapter 427: Soliciting for work
1 silver for one acre?
The couple, who hadn’t seen a silver coin for a long time, when they heard of those words, they almost didn’t jump up .
Bai Zhi then said: “I’m in a hurry to use the field, so you have to tighten your belt . Plow the fields well, then I will give you the money . But if you have other intentions, I’m sorry, I don’t have money to spare for such things . ”
Mrs . Zhang busily said: “Rest assured, you can rest assured, we will do as you say, we will never let you down . ”
Bai Zhi nodded her head: “Okay, you can go back and prepare now . I will use the fields in two days . The sooner you finish, the better . ”
The couple nodded their heads again and again and thanked Bai Zhi and Zhao Lan, then they turned to leave the yard .
On the way back, Bai Erzhu said with some difficulty: “3 acres of fields in 2 days, I’m afraid it won’t possible! Even if I work hard the whole day, I won’t be able to finish plowing 1 acre of field . I’m afraid plowing 3 acres of fields in 2 days will not be enough . ”
Mrs . Zhang’s eyes rolled up, then said: “Then let’s go to my second brother . He has cattle in the house . Let’s give him 1 acre of field, so that he can earn 1 silver coin . He’ll be happy . ”
When Bai Erzhu heard of those words, he nodded his head again and again: “This is a good idea . Second brother-in-law works very fast, maybe if he finishes early, he will do me a favor to help me . ”
Mrs . Zhang’s fierce eyes swept to Bai Erzhu: “You still haven’t wake up even until now? I told you, in the future, we can only rely on ourselves, we shouldn’t expect others to help us . If second brother opens his hand and is willing to help us, that is good, but you shouldn’t expect it, do you understand?”
Bai Erzhu nodded again and again: “I understand, I understand, I have written down . I will listen to you in the future . ”
The couple went to Zhang Sanshui’s house with great enthusiasm and talked about this matter . When Zhang Sanshui heard he can earn 1 silver coin from plowing 1 acre of field, he naturally became happy . He doesn’t have expectations to get help from these two, but when they think of him when there’s a good opportunity, he was quite happy .
On the way back to the Bai family, Mrs . Zhang said to Bai Erzhu: “Let’s borrow a cattle now, as soon as we borrowed the cattle, let’s start working . The early we finish, the early we can get our wages to buy grains . With the amount of grain left in the house, we can only cook rice soup from it . I’m afraid it won’t even last for a few more days . ”
Bai Erzhu nodded his head: “Alright, I will borrow the cattle now . ”
Mrs . Zhang also added: “I will go to the field with you, I will let Fugui go too . The three of us will work together . It’s better than you working alone . the riches go too . The three of us will work together . It ’s better than you alone . Let ’s give us some wild vegetables and rare vegetables at noon . Come . ”
The couple made a decision and immediately work on it .
Seeing that it was almost noon, Bai Zhenzhu came out of the room . She was about to cook for her family, but who would have thought that their rice became empty? There was no grain . She and her mother saved some grains . They didn’t eat this morning, so there should be more rations left, but the grains in the bag were gone… …
She suddenly remembered what happened when she just came out of the room . As soon as Bai Dabao saw her, he slipped away .
Bai Zhenzhu took the empty rice bag and went to her uncle and aunt’s room . The door was closed, but there were sounds coming inside .
Bai Zhenzhu knocked on the door: “Uncle, Auntie, this is Zhenzhu, will you open the door?”
The sounds stopped, it took a while before Mrs . Liu opened her mouth to say: “We’re sleeping . Let’s talk later . ”
Bai Zhenzhu sneered, who would sleep during the day? It was clear that they did something wrong, so they didn’t dare to face her .
“Auntie, I have something to ask you . You open the door first . ” Bai Zhenzhu slammed the door again .
