Chapter 141 The Farmhand Gets Married (2)

Xu Hong was stunned, and Wanrou and Jushuang also stopped what they were doing without realizing it!

"Miss! From what you're saying, our wages are high because we don't just make money from farming?"

Kikusou couldn't help but gasp softly.

Guizhi smiled, gently tapped Jushuang's head, and said:

"Why not make money by farming? The food we eat, the livestock we feed, the pigs we feed, the chickens, ducks and geese we feed! Doesn't all of that depend on the produce from the land?"

"Buying them all with money, the cost must be incredibly high! Once our sows are used for breeding, we won't even need to buy piglets! We'll produce and sell our own! Hahaha!"

Alright! The group was a little confused, but they were happy for Guizhi! As long as the employer was profitable, they just needed to work and get paid!

In the evening, Guizhi saw the six new women and one child! Five women followed timidly behind the five men. Only one woman, who still took the time to dress up even while working, was looking around with the child!

Guizhi understood, but still asked:

"Uncle Xu Hong! Isn't that Lin Shiba's sister dressed in bright colors? I think she's the only one with the child!"

Xu Hong nodded and said:

"Miss! It's her!"

"Okay! Let's talk about it after we eat."

Guizhi carefully observed the women, who were all obediently following the men they were to marry. The men were all older and knew how to care for women. They were attentive and caring towards them, and the women were completely enamored with them; only they knew the true feelings behind their affections!

After the meal, Guizhi still had Xu Hong call the soon-to-be-married couples together for a few words:

"Whether you are uncles or brothers, I only hope that you will treat your women well from now on and never hit them!"

Of course, you aunts and sisters, you must not compare yourselves based on how much your families sold you! You are only concerned with how much you contributed to your own families! We are all women, why make things difficult for each other? Living a good life is the real thing!

Guizhi paused:

"You all started from roughly the same point; the only difference is your respective lifestyles. Whether you live a good life or not depends on yourselves! Life is like drinking water; only you know whether it's hot or cold!"

Starting tomorrow! You don't need to go to the fields to work for now! Stay indoors and make wedding dresses and bedding! If you don't know how or how to do anything, don't worry! Everyone help each other out, and after the harvest season, all your families will get married together!

"Lin Shiba! Come out here for a moment!" Guizhi called out and led the way out.

Lin Shiba followed them out and unexpectedly saw his younger sister. He asked:

"Little sister! What brings you here? The master wants to see us! Please come inside!"

Guizhidao:

"Don't come inside yet! I just wanted to ask about my younger sister's future plans! There were too many people inside, so it wasn't appropriate to ask. That's why I called you out to ask her alone!"

The younger sister had already heard that the little girl in front of her was the owner, and quickly replied:

"Master! I haven't decided yet! Master! I have a child with me!"

Guizhi nodded and said:

"You can take your time to think about it if you haven't made up your mind yet! After all, it's a lifelong matter! But there's one thing I need to do first and foremost! I'm explaining this to you beforehand!"

Lin Shiba sensed something was wrong and said:

"Master! What is it you wish to say?"

Guizhi organized her thoughts and said:

"Since you're still thinking about your marriage, little sister, I'm only going to let you think about it until you're eighteen and getting married! If you haven't made up your mind by then, you can't stay here after you get married at eighteen!"

"Master!" Lin Shiba and his younger sister exclaimed in surprise! Xu Hong also looked at Guizhi in astonishment!

"Don't make a scene! Listen to me! Little sister! You're an adult! And you're married! All the men here are unmarried. It's not appropriate for you to live here!"

Lin Shiba hurriedly said:

"Master! Let her live with us!"

Gui Zhi cuts through the iron road with a sharp blade:

"That won't do! She's dressed in bright colors and striking provocative poses! Everyone knows what she's up to in front of men! Eighteen, let me ask you! If a few men get jealous because of her and even start a fight, how will you handle it?"

Because of her, we haven't had a single day of peace here. Eighteen, how do you plan to resolve this?

To put it bluntly, if someone gives her money today, she can sleep with this person. If someone else gives her money tomorrow, she can sleep with that person! Anyway, she's not married, so nobody can tell her what to do!

"So, Eighteen, let me ask you this! If she's flirting around here, what will this place look like? And how will you handle that?"

The younger sister suddenly looked up, startled, at Guizhi! How did she know her plans?! This was a men's den, a haven for bachelors, perfect for her to use her charms! Everyone was trying to curry favor with her, flattering her, all for the chance to win her favor!

She's also trying to please her child; she's no longer the person who was looked down upon back home! She and her child love it here!

Lin Shiba looked at his younger sister in disbelief, speechless!

"I...I can't resolve what the boss said! Little sister! You wouldn't do this, would you?"

Lin Shiba himself wasn't confident in what he said! He wasn't some greenhorn fresh out of school! They had encountered all sorts of things before!

Xu Hong cursed himself for being stupid, for not thinking so much!

“Miss! I didn’t think this through! Eighteen! Miss is right! Your sister has been here for some time now. If she can’t choose someone before your wedding, then it means the people here aren’t suitable for her. Let her go back to your hometown!”

The younger sister panicked slightly and said:

"Brother! We won't go back! If we go back, those people will sell us!"

Lin Shiba said with difficulty:

“If you don’t go back, little sister! Where will you go? The master can’t keep an unmarried woman here! You…”

The younger sister immediately said:

"I'll tell you who I've chosen tomorrow! We have to ask them if they're willing, right?"

Guizhi then nodded:

"Alright! As long as you have a man to marry, then you can get married along with Shiba and the others! Okay, you can all go do whatever you need to do!"

After Lin Shiba and the others left, Xu Hongcai said to Guizhi:

"Miss! I didn't expect so much!"

Guizhi smiled and said:

"I only realized she might not be planning on getting married because I noticed her different clothes and appearance! She's too free here!"

Then, she asked softly:

"Uncle Xu Hong! You're getting married soon. Should we invite your family to the ceremony?"

Xu Hong shook his head without hesitation.

"Since we've severed ties, let's cut them off cleanly! Why keep lingering ties? Miss, you absolutely mustn't tell them about Wanrou and me! Wanrou is soft-hearted; I'm afraid those shameless people will come knocking on our door again!"

"Uncle Xu Hong! Our two villages aren't far apart! I doubt we can keep this a secret for long; they'll find out eventually!"

"Let's keep it a secret for as long as we can! Let's enjoy some peaceful days first!"

"Uncle Xu Hong would better find an opportunity to tell Wanrou about your family affairs, so as to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings caused by hearsay! In the future, she will have more confidence when facing your family!"
