Chapter 940: Recruitment [4]

Soon, everyone discovered that the men, whether they were going to eat or to the toilet, all went in the same direction, which was the west.

The woman walked towards the east.

The female workers were very happy: "These are separate areas for men and women. They are so far apart, just like the beginning and end of the village. Now my family can rest assured."

This is Liu Xiuxiu from Liuma Village. She is fifteen years old and has not yet married, but she knows the hardship of being poor, so she wants to get this job.

But before the interview, her grandparents, uncles, and even cousins all advised her not to come, or to give the interview opportunity to the men in the family and let them earn money.

But Liu Xiuxiu disagreed, saying, "Only the money you earn yourself can be in your own hands!"

This really pissed off her grandparents and uncles. They wanted to beat her up: "You unfilial daughter, you want to keep all the money at such a young age? Why don't you go out and see? In this Wei Dynasty, who's money isn't controlled by the man who heads the family?!"

Fortunately, her parents supported her and made a big fuss at home, saying that she knew the most medicinal herbs and had the greatest chance of being selected. If she was not allowed to come for the interview, they would split up the family business. Only then did her grandparents and uncles calm down.

What’s funny is that all her uncles, aunts, cousins, and sisters who were of working age came for the interview, and no one stayed at home.

But she only saw her eldest cousin's wife in the signing room. She didn't see anyone else. They must have been rejected.

"Xiu Xiu, let's go together." The eldest cousin's wife Liu Fang smiled kindly.

"Okay, let's work together as sisters-in-law to take care of each other." Liu Xiuxiu did not refuse and cleverly found an ally for herself.

Huh, Liu Fang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and the smile on her face deepened a little... Her cousin Liu Xiuxiu was the best person in her husband's family, and she also agreed with what her cousin Xiuxiu said.

Only the money you earn yourself can be held in your own hands, and only those who make money have status in the family.

So even though making money is hard, she still wants to go out and make money... At least when she goes back to her parents' home, she can decide what gift to give instead of telling her parents-in-law first, and then her parents-in-law asking her grandparents for money.

Finally, the whole family of twenty people held a meeting to decide how much money to give her to buy a gift to take back to her parents' home.

When Liu Fang thought about the feeling of being watched and having her neck choked, she really wanted to turn into Qin Xiaodongjia and overturn the table to make a scene!

Fortunately, she passed the interview and was able to sign the contract soon, and will receive monthly salary from then on.

Dangdang Dangdang!

"The house in front with a red flag embroidered with bowls and chopsticks is the female workers' canteen. Come here to get your meals!" Qin Dashi's wife shouted.

After hearing this, the female villagers who were not in a hurry to go to the toilet went to the dining hall one after another.

They were stunned when they entered the cafeteria.

"Is this where we eat? It's so clean and spacious, bigger than my entire house!"

"There are tables and chairs. You can sit down and eat instead of squatting on the ground!"

"Sniff, it smells so good, like meat. Will the Qin family give us meat rice?!" The female villagers were shocked, surprised and heartbroken.

"The Qin family really doesn't know how to live. How can they feed their workers meat? Just give them some whole-grain pancakes to fill their stomachs!"

"Yeah, they're eating so well without doing any work. Master Qin really doesn't know how to live!"

Qin Dashi's wife was speechless after hearing this.

Dangdang Dangdang!

She struck the gong, and when everyone quieted down, she shouted, "My niece Xiaomi said that people should be kind to themselves, eat good food and wear good clothes. Only enemies would think of depriving themselves of their food, clothing, and daily necessities!"

what?

The female villagers were stunned because they didn't understand at first. After all, their elders had taught them to eat less since they were young.

Some of them understood it and couldn't help but burst into tears.

"Are you your own enemies?!" Qin Dashi's wife asked, and then added: "If not, then be kind to yourself and start by eating something good!"

"Okay, line up for your food. Eat as much as you can. No wasting food, no takeout!"

"Let's go and line up for food." Liu Xiuxiu has always been smart. She was the first to react. She pulled her tearful cousin-in-law and went to get food first.

The food in the cafeteria is very simple, just a plate of fried meat and cabbage, two mixed flour steamed buns, and mixed grain porridge.

The stir-fried cabbage and pork slices were crispy and sweet, the multi-grain steamed buns were solid and large, and there was sugar in the multi-grain porridge. The food and the quantity were better than what many women eat during festivals.

"There's really a lot of meat! Mine has six slices, which is two more than what I got during the Mid-Autumn Festival!"

It is not popular to divide the family nowadays, so most people start by living under the same roof with three generations. When there are more people, they have to share the food. Otherwise, if you eat all the meat, what will the other people in the family eat?

Farmers don’t have much income, so they only buy two pounds of meat for the festival. How many slices can they cut?

So when it was distributed to my daughter-in-law and granddaughter's bowls, there were only a few slices.

Some stingy families don’t even give you a piece of meat, and they don’t even let you eat enough staple food.

But today...

"Two steamed buns bigger than my fist, and some porridge. I'm so stuffed!"

Many female villagers from poor families experienced the feeling of being overfed for the first time.

After hearing this, Qin Dashi's wife was no longer worried that they would get sick from overeating... With set meals, no matter how big the portion was, they wouldn't get sick from overeating.

But Qin Dashi's wife was afraid that everyone would misunderstand, so she shouted again: "We don't have meat every meal at the Herbal Medicine Shop. Most of the food is vegetarian, but we do have meat twice a month!"

"Oh my God, eating meat rice twice a month is too good for us. We can't afford it!" Cao Lin's hands were shaking and tears were falling.

Village Chief Cao's wife despised her in her heart... She was just eating two meat meals, so why was she so moved? She was bringing shame to Caojiatun.

But she went to comfort Cao Lin: "Hey, Eleventh Daughter-in-law, stop crying, have you forgotten what the steward just said? We have to be good to ourselves. Those who are not good to us are our enemies!"

Look, I am so smart that I have learned your Qin family’s teachings so quickly. Won’t your Qin family give me a position as a small housekeeper?

But the wife of Village Chief Cao was very conflicted... A stable monthly salary was good, but her Cao family was very active, so she might be able to earn more outside.

Never mind, she would sign the contract first. If she didn't want to do it anymore, she would talk to the Qin family and see if they could give her job to her son, or future daughter-in-law, or sell it to someone from Caojiatun.

You are really smart. You have already planned to sell your job before signing the contract.

After the villagers finished their meal, they happily returned to the signing house.

The entire signing room was filled with discussions about how good the food was.

However, some are worried: "He Liuliu from our village couldn't get past the smelling of medicinal herbs. He's crying his eyes out and refuses to leave. His family is burdened with heavy responsibilities. His parents died in an accident, and his uncles are forcing him to leave. His family was split up by his grandparents, and he now has four younger brothers and sisters to support."

“That’s really tragic.”

"How could he be as miserable as Miao Jinke? He had received a promise from Mr. Qin that he would be 99% likely to work in the herbal medicine shop, but he never expected that he wouldn't be able to get past the smelling part. He was so nauseous that he vomited up everything! He even had a good job!"

"That's right, Miao Jinke is the worst off. He couldn't grab the opportunity even when it was given to him..."

Everyone was gossiping about those who didn't make it through the interview, and they all felt a little sad.

And Qin Xiaomi is handling this matter.

She gathered those who couldn't stand the smell of the medicine in a big house and called their headmen and village chiefs.

Village Chief He looked at He Liuliu and said with regret, "Master Qin, Old Master Qin, and Old Madam Qin, He Liuliu's family situation is just as stated in his interview booklet. He is indeed in financial difficulty... If possible, please ask the Qin family herbal medicine shop to accept him and give him a job to support his family."

Qin Xiaomi didn't torture anyone, and gave them a direct answer: "I didn't drive you away, but gathered you here to discuss things. I wanted to give you a chance to work!"
