Chapter 1016: Begging for wages

The Ji family was busy fumigating moxa, and everyone was mobilized. Ji Miaomiao was still dizzy and leaning on her mother's arms, but she regained her energy in the evening.

Everyone in the Ji family was very happy that the little guy had recovered. Mrs. Ji even asked Sister-in-law Ji to cook meat and knelt down to worship her ancestors in the yard.

Ji Miaomiao was so moved that her family members thought of her so much that her eyes became misty. She was already a cute girl with big eyes, so this made her even cuter.

In the evening, Ye Qiuyun drank the concoction to feed Ji Miaomiao. He didn't know what he thought of, and asked slightly worriedly:

"Will something happen to the people who are repairing the houses over there?"

As the daughter of the Li Zheng family, Ye Qiuyun is quite knowledgeable. She knows how to worry not about scarcity but about inequality.

If there was no poop in the past, it would be bad in the past when they would add meat to their lunch.

If they rashly omit the meat, they might cause some trouble.

Thinking of this, Ye Qiuyun felt a little worried. If she had known that something like this would happen, she should have stopped her husband's proposal in the first place.

At that time, she thought that there was still some money left at home anyway, and she also thought that those people worked hard to repair the house better, and this little money was nothing.

But despite all the calculations, I failed to calculate that something would go wrong at the meat store.

"What are you afraid of?" Ji Liangqing held his daughter's little feet curiously, "Can they have meat to eat if they go to work elsewhere? It's not that we won't buy it, it's true that it won't be sold."

Ye Qiuyun didn't say anything after hearing this. She just sighed. Seeing that her husband didn't take it seriously, she had no other options.

Facts have proved that there is nothing wrong with her guess.

Wang Goudan came to work the next day with full expectations.

He only used this place as a place to improve his food. He didn't eat any meat yesterday. After he went back, he felt itchy and dreamed about eating meat in the middle of the night.

Therefore, he came here very actively today, and when he saw that the porridge in the morning was much thicker, he felt happy.

I finally made it to noon, and I watched the dishes being served with great anticipation. I ran up to them and rummaged through them for a long time, but I didn't even see any minced meat.

Wang Goudan thought it was because of his bad eyesight, and he couldn't bear to endure it. He rummaged carefully for a long time and confirmed that there was really no meat in this dish.

He immediately became angry: "Is this bullying? The Ji family has been without meat for two days in a row! Didn't we agree that we would have meat to eat every day?"

The other men who were waiting for the food were startled and stopped motionless.

How often can ordinary people eat meat? Their wives and children still rely on them to take some back here for the tooth ceremony.

It's certainly a good thing that the Ji family can eat meat. Now that they haven't eaten for a few days, they are also puzzled. Someone happens to help them ask.

Aunt Zhang was preparing to prepare the dishes with a straight face, but when she heard someone scolding her, she raised her eyes to see which bastard it was.

It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, but once you look at it, you will find that he is still an acquaintance - isn't this the same Wang Goudan who insulted him yesterday?

She had already guessed that this boy was a thorn!

The thing she was least afraid of was getting pricked on the head, so she immediately laughed:

"What's going on? When you come to work here, you have a problem with your mouth. Meat is such a good thing. If the owner can give it to you, it's because they are kind-hearted. It's their duty not to give it to you.

"

"Can you buy meat every day at home? Just scream here! Wang Goudan, don't be embarrassed here!"

"They said they had meat supply at that time!" Wang Goudan didn't buy it and sneered:

"What's going on? He tricked so many brothers into coming to work here. Everyone wanted to have meat to eat, so he did the work beautifully. But now that the foundation of the house is ready, they won't give them meat to eat, right?

Right? Are you a fool to bully us?"

Aunt Zhang didn't understand the convoluted words he was talking about, so she opened her mouth and cursed her. Wang Goudan didn't buy it at all, so she turned around and said to those standing there:

"Everyone, listen to me. The Ji family is now dishonest about the supply of meat. I now suspect that they were lying when they said twenty cents a day. Maybe we won't get a penny after we're done!

"

It was none of their business that other people were standing there, for them it was real to support their families.

As for whether to eat meat for lunch or not, I just tolerated it. I just watched Wang Goudan argue hard and thought it would be good to earn more benefits for them.

But after hearing what he said, these people immediately exploded.

"What? How could twenty cents a day be fake? This is the price agreed upon by Ji's family before..."

"My mother-in-law and others are waiting for this money. It can't be fake, right? There are so many people..."

There are also some people who are full of fear:

"But no one has testified for us, and no one has brought this matter to the village chief to be a witness... What will happen if the Ji family refuses to admit it?"

"Yes, this time they also said that if they don't give me meat, they won't give me meat, and they didn't even give me any notice."

"..."

Seeing everyone talking about it, Wang Goudan thought it was time to establish his authority, and he snorted coldly:

"The village chief is testifying? The village chief's family has the best relationship with the Ji family. Even if there is a real trouble, the village chief's family will still help the Ji family!"

These words made the already panicked villagers even more desperate.

"Yes, I saw the village chief's eldest son at their house yesterday."

"Whenever the village chief's family asks for anything, they call the Ji family. If the Ji family has any good things, remember to send a copy to the village chief's family. If they really want to join forces to defraud our wages, it's just a matter of words.

"

As soon as these words came out, the villagers who were relatively firm at first were shaken.

Wang Goudan saw that everyone was facing him, and he was even more proud at the moment:

"What's going on with Ji's family? Do they still want us to help him repair this house? Can they still show some credibility when they treat us like this? They must show some sincerity."

"The meat has been restored and the wages have been paid to us on time. Otherwise, who would have done the hard work for him?"

The others responded one after another.

"That's right! After working for so many days, I calculated the wages that day and found that we already had half a penny! Can we still get it?"

"My mother still needs medicine, and the medicine money is not enough. We have to go to the Ji family quickly to give us the money, otherwise all these days will be in vain."

"How come there are such unscrupulous people? I thought their family was kind-hearted and righteous before, but now I think they are no longer smiling."

Everyone was talking enthusiastically, and Aunt Zhang next to her was dumbfounded when she saw that the situation had become like this in a blink of an eye.

"Maybe the master didn't buy any meat yesterday. Why do you think so much? Is the Ji family still the one who needs the money?"

she said anxiously.

I have to say that what Aunt Zhang said is true.

But these people who work don’t know that.

They just felt that Aunt Zhang had been speaking for the Ji family before, and she must be on the same side as the Ji family.

Nothing is as important as their hard-earned wages, and they are now clamoring to go to Ji's house to beg for wages.
