Chapter 608: Working Hard to Get Rich

Even if they return to their ancestral home, they can't keep the few acres of thin land at home. They will definitely be snatched away by the clan members. Instead of living a life of hunger, it is better to stay, be a servant or a farmhand, at least they can fill their stomachs and have a stable life.

Listening to the tone of the two people, thinking about the third uncle who left them. Bai Yunxi thought that these two kids were quite smart and knew how to adapt.

After learning that the two kids were surnamed Xu, Bai Yunxi asked Xiaowu to give them new names. He couldn't always call them Sanwa and Siwa.

Xiaowu looked at the two brothers holding hands, with an attitude of never leaving each other, so he named Sanwa Xu Shuren and Siwa Xu Shuyi.

Xu Shuren is seventeen years old this year. He is a good worker. After being taken care of, he has become much stronger and has endless energy.

Xu Shuyi is eleven years old this year, at the age of learning things. Bai Yunxi asked Xiaowu if he would be willing to follow him as a book boy?

The two brothers had no objection to this proposal. After all, being able to learn to read and write with the young master was a blessing that could not be obtained.

Xiaowu looked at his big, blinking eyes and the thirst for knowledge in his eyes, thinking that it would be nice to have someone to help carry things and chat with when he went out in the future.

In this way, the two brothers were arranged by Bai Yunxi. In their spare time, the two helped with housework. When Xiaowu went out in the future, he would take Xu Shuyi, the little book boy, with him.

As soon as the construction on the slope started, the village got the news. When they heard that the helpers they hired were the same price as the short-term workers in the town, some people could not sit still and came to ask if they needed more people.

"Her aunt, my boss may do it. You don't need 45 cents a day, just 40 cents will do."

"Yes, we only need 40 cents, and we guarantee that it will be done well and quickly."

Looking at the smiling faces of several people, Bai Yunxi waved her hand lightly,

"I just want someone to do a simple repair. I don't want to do a big move. I don't need too many people. The five of them are enough."

"Oh, don't be so quick to refuse? If 40 doesn't work, you can give 35 cents."

"Yes, if it weren't for the relationship of a village, this price would definitely not be acceptable."

Looking at several pairs of expectant eyes, Bai Yunxi's face faded. Let alone 35 cents, even if it was 20 cents, she didn't need people who would just waste time.

"There are enough people. If you are bored, go to the town to find work. The normal price, don't be wronged here."

Speaking, Bai Yunxi took Wenyou, closed the door in front of them, and walked away.

"This... this is too much?"

"We have begged at the door, but they didn't even look at us. Sure enough, life is different now, and they look down on us villagers."

"Think about it, when we lived in a shack, she didn't dare to talk to us like this. Now she has become a lady of a scholar who is arrogant. This person just can't live a good life."

Wen You followed Bai Yunxi, frowning, "Just let them make up stories?"

"People are not fair, it has been like this since ancient times. Instead of thinking about shutting them up, it is better to live a good life and make people feel out of reach."

Humans are very strange creatures. If you live well, some people will say sour words, envy, jealousy and hatred. If you live in poverty, there are still people who laugh at you, trample on you, and dare to think that it is easier to bully you.

Bai Yunxi looked at Wenyou and smiled.

"No matter what you do, there will be people who are dissatisfied. As long as we have a clear conscience, it's fine."

She only needs to pull her sons to work hard and live a good life with diligence and wisdom, which is better than arguing with others about useless things.

She took Wenyou all the way to the town, first went to find Cui Lao Da, told him about her duck farm, and handed him the prepared drawings.

"Just build it according to this. The four main rooms are used for living, storing food and tools, etc., so they need to be spacious. The factory building is connected from beginning to end, and there should be no partitions in the middle."

Lao Da Cui looked at the drawings in front of him and nodded.

"It looks fine, but whether it works or not, we have to check it on the spot."

Building a house cannot be sloppy. The reputation of the Cui family for generations must not be ruined in his hands.

"That's no problem. You can go anytime. There are people working on that slope. You can see it at a glance when you arrive at the entrance of the village."

He is a master painter. The quality of the house depends on his experience.

"I'll take my son there tomorrow, and we'll talk about the details later."

"Okay,"

After agreeing on a time, Bai Yunxi didn't stay long, and took Wenyou to the brick kiln directly, paid a deposit, and the goods would be delivered tomorrow, and the homestead would be fenced first.

The blue bricks of this period were strong and durable. Even if the house was built later and the wall was demolished, these bricks could still be reused.

After the construction of the factory was settled, it was time to prepare for ducklings.

It was not until then that Bai Yunxi suddenly realized that she didn't know where to sell ducklings?

When this idea came to her mind, Bai Yunxi raised her hand and slapped her forehead, and she couldn't help laughing. Before she could speak, she heard someone calling her from behind.

Bai Yunxi turned around and saw Zhao Sanniang leading her daughter running towards her excitedly.

"I felt that I was right about her. It was indeed Mrs. Bai,"

Mrs. Zhao Sanniang carried a basket and held her daughter's hand, "Yingzi, hurry up and call someone."

"Hello, Grandma Bai."

"Yingzi is so good. She is a big girl now."

She is numb to the name of grandma called by Yaya. It no longer hurts her. Seeing Yingzi's sweet dimples, she can't help but think of Yaya.

"Yingzi is ten years old now. She looks like you when she smiles."

"Don't praise her, Sister Bai. This girl has a boyish personality, so noisy. It gives me a headache."

Zhao Sanniang said, glaring at her daughter,

"By the way, Sister Bai, what is it that brings you to town? If you are done, come to my house and have a seat. We haven't seen each other for a long time. Let's have a good chat."

Bai Yunxi looked at her and chuckled, "I just came out of Cui's house and wanted to ask Cui Zhangmo to build a few more houses. I am busy all day and have no time to visit."

"Everyone is the same. We are busy every day and can only survive to the point of not starving to death or not full."

Zhao Sanniang echoed, "Now that we are at the doorstep, Sister Bai must come to my house and have a cup of tea."

"I am afraid I will disappoint you today, but since I met you, I would like to ask you if there are any families around us who hatch ducklings?"

Just when I was worrying about finding someone to ask, I met Hu Zi's mother.

"Ducklings? We don't have them in our town yet. Normally, when people raise chickens or ducks, they use their own old hens to hatch eggs, and there are only about 10 to 20 ducks in a nest."

Ducks like water and are noisy. There are not many families raising ducks in the town. The chicks she raised were hatched by the old hens in her mother's home.
