Rich Peasant Girl: The General's Wife Has Space

Chapter 465: Collective Defense Break

Xiao Wan's words made everyone's blood boil, and their fighting spirit was ignited in their hearts.

Chen Xin was also infected and felt a lot of emotions in his heart.

When several people returned to Kaoshan Village, they were all excited about this trip. The few people who were sent home heard that Chen Xin had led the team back and that everyone in the team had returned to the village safely, so they all found an excuse to visit him.

They were extremely curious and wanted to know whether they had really received the twenty taels of wages this time and whether they had encountered any danger on the road.

At the same time, I had some evil thoughts in my mind that I didn't dare to say out loud, which was, why didn't something happen to this group of people?

If they encounter some danger on the road, preferably a threat to their personal safety, they can then tell others without any burden that it was fortunate that they refused to go, otherwise how would their family survive.

The head of the village and the villagers would not look at them strangely.

But now they have returned safely. Those who were fired feel very sorry. Why didn’t anything happen to them?

The few people who came back with Chen Xin didn't want to talk to them when they saw them coming.

But we are all from the same village, so it’s okay not to talk or entertain each other.

Those people tried to find out whether they really received twenty taels of wages for this trip, and they all answered that they received thirty taels.

This was also Chen Xin's explanation. Chen Xin was also holding his breath, and he knew that someone would definitely come to inquire about it, so Chen Xin just asked them to tell the truth.

When they heard that everyone on this trip had received thirty taels of wages and bonuses, the group gasped.

Thirty taels, what does this mean?

In the past, when there was no potato workshop in the village, a family had to work hard in the fields for a year and live frugally to save a few taels of silver.

Now, even if I go out for seven or eight days, I can get thirty taels of wages.

In the past, when they went out to handle vermicelli orders, they only earned about one or two taels of silver a month, and that was when their business was good.

What did these people do and why do they get so much money?

The eyes of those who were fired all turned red, they were so angry. They had been deceived before. This job was just said to be a little dangerous, but it was not actually.

Seeing that they have all returned safely, they all look full of energy, with glitter in their eyes. I am so envious.

If I had known earlier, I would have gone there too. I could have earned thirty taels of silver in less than ten days. They are all young people, how could they not be jealous?

A few of them thought bitterly that when they were fired, they were only given 500 coins as compensation.

They also asked whether they would no longer work for the county lord and would return to the village to farm.

Several people answered with a smile that they had signed a formal employment contract with the county lady and would work for her in the future. Their monthly salary would start from two taels of silver and would increase every year based on their length of service.

Oh, by the way, welfare bonuses during festivals and other invisible benefits are not included.

What? Starting from two taels of silver? They were collectively defeated.

In the past, the minimum monthly salary for following orders was only 500 wen, but now it has been increased to two taels of silver. Of course it has increased, and according to Xiao Wan's personality, there must be other names for the money.

Several people beat their chests and stamped their feet in regret. Damn it, why didn’t they have a share in such a good thing?

Their families also knew about the thirty taels of silver wages, and they were all in an uproar at home, blaming these people who deserted at the last minute.

For a while, they felt uncomfortable standing or lying down at home.

Whenever he was eating, his wife would ask him sarcastically, "Oh, is this meal delicious? If you had thirty taels of silver, it would be even better."

They were sprayed so hard that they couldn't eat.

If I wanted to work harder in the fields, my family would ask me, "Wow, can you really earn thirty taels of silver a year just by farming?"

Several people were annoyed but couldn't show it, so they could only stand there awkwardly, feeling neither here nor there.

For a while, the atmosphere in these people's homes was depressing and they all felt very uncomfortable.

The family members were complaining and the life was in chaos for a while.

No, they can't just sit there, they have to do something, and they also need to get a monthly salary of two taels of silver.

They forced themselves to suppress the jealousy in their hearts, and suddenly thought that they could go and talk to the county lady before going back.

They are all from the same village, so the county lady should at least give them some face. Some of them are her elders.

Besides, they didn’t commit any serious crime. The county lord could use anyone she wanted, so what’s wrong with using them?

At worst, they can just promise to do a good job in the future.

But their identities were different after all. Although they spoke toughly, no one actually had the courage to say these words to Xiao Wan.
