Chapter 675 52 Silver is obtained
Su Qing was busy in the weaving workshop for a while, and Tong Huaqiong sent her home to get the account book.
Second Aunt Li had been waiting outside for a long time and was relieved to see Su Qing coming out.
"Miss Su Qing." The second aunt of the Li family greeted her warmly.
Su Qing said coldly: "This is not the place to talk."
As he spoke, he took Second Aunt Li to a secluded place at the corner of the village.
"Miss Su Qing, Mingxiu told you, I want to work in a weaving workshop as an embroiderer, you have seen my skills..."
Su Qing interrupted the second aunt of the Li family and said, "Who can be an embroiderer without good skills? This weaving workshop is not something you can enter just because you want to."
The second aunt of the Li family took out some silver and said with a wry smile, "Miss Su Qing, here are fifty taels of silver. Please do me a favor."
Su Qing did not take the money. She sighed and said, "Second Aunt Li, what should I do? She gave me money yesterday, you gave me money today, and someone else will give me money tomorrow. It has been non-stop for the whole first month of the year. If I accept your money and let you enter the embroidery workshop, then one of the embroiderers on the list will have to be removed. This is not fair to them."
Having said that, his tone softened significantly.
Second Aunt Li glanced at Su Qing and thought, you’re just pretending. But when she saw her take out the silver, her attitude changed and her eyes never left the silver.
"Good girl, everyone knows that your words are effective in the weaving workshop. You can decide what kind of person you want and who you want. Who dares to contradict you? It's just a position for an embroiderer. You can get it by just raising your hand." The second aunt of the Li family said with a smile.
Su Qing frowned and said, "There are still two places that have not been decided. To be honest, one of the places is for Song Qiaoniang's distant relative. I am not very satisfied with her embroidery work, but she is willing to pay 60 taels of silver. You paid 50 taels of silver, but your embroidery work is good, which makes it a bit difficult for me."
Aunt Li cursed Su Qing for being greedy in her heart, and gritted her teeth and promised: "Take this fifty taels of silver first. When I enter the embroidery workshop and earn money, I will not worry about not having the money to make up for you later."
"Miss Su Qing, my mother is right. If you get paid in a weaving workshop, won't you have to worry about not having money to spend in the future? If I can get a job in a weaving workshop as a manager, I'll give you half of my monthly salary."
Su Qing wanted to roll her eyes at the second brother of the Li family. He had such an audacity to be the manager.
"Second Aunt, you are always good at joking. Okay, since you are so sincere, I will accept the silver." Su Qing said with a smile and took the silver away.
Su Qing put the silver in her arms.
"Miss Su Qing..."
"Su Qing, I asked your family to go get the account book, why are you here chatting with others?"
Second Aunt Li's words were interrupted.
Su Qing turned around and saw Tong Huaqiong walking towards them. She left the mother and son of the Li family and went to greet her with a smile. Then, while Tong Huaqiong was not paying attention, she turned around and gave Second Aunt Li a look that reassured her.
The mother and son of the Li family left Qinghe Bay, one with the beautiful hope of earning a lot of money by working in a weaving workshop and the other with the beautiful hope of marrying a rich and beautiful woman.
"Boss, Aunt Hong, fifty taels of silver were swindled out of us." Su Qing counted the silver in front of Tong Huaqiong and Aunt Hong.
A total of fifty taels, no more, no less.
This time, the second branch of the Li family suffered a heavy loss.
Fifty taels of silver could be a farmer's life savings.
Tong Huaqiong didn't sympathize with Li's second aunt at all.
Su Qing gave the silver to Li Mingxiu, who took out three parts and gave them to Su Qing. He put the rest in his pocket and said to Tong Huaqiong, "Boss, I'll treat you and Aunt Hong to a good meal at Fengle Tower."
Tong Huaqiong and Hong waved their hands repeatedly.
Tong Huaqiong said: "Now that we have the money, we will go and set up a household for the daughter."
Li Mingxiu nodded and said, "I have no regrets in taking this money. They treated me harshly and tortured me since I was a child, asking me to wash clothes, cook for them, and do farm work. I was busy all day before I came to the weaving workshop."
Tong Huaqiong said: "So this money is what you deserve."
Two days later, the weaving workshop announced the number of embroiderers.
As before, they are posted on the big trees at the entrance of each village.
Li Mingxiu's second aunt rushed to the village entrance early in the morning to look at the list. Of course, she was illiterate, so she asked someone in the village who could read to help her read it.
Her name was not among the ten people.
"Aunt Li, what's your full name?"
The second aunt of the Li family said, "Niu Sanmei."
The literate student looked at it for a long time, shook his head and said, "There is no Niu Sanmei, only Tian Ermei."
Second Aunt Li was panicked. It was impossible. She had clearly given Su Qing fifty taels of silver, and Su Qing had clearly given her an affirmative look. How could her name not be there?
She suddenly remembered that Su Qing never asked her name from beginning to end after taking the silver.
The recruitment process of a weaving workshop is well known to everyone in the area. The female worker's name will definitely be written. It will not be written as "mother of so-and-so", "wife of so-and-so", or "surname of so-and-so". If there is no name, a name will be written according to the ranking.
For example, Li Daya, Wang Erni, and Tian Ermei.
Second Aunt Li is the third child in the Niu family. Everyone in the family calls her Third Sister, so she calls herself Niu Sanmei.
Since Su Qing didn't even ask her name, it was impossible for her to be included in the employment list.
Aunt Li ran towards Qinghe Bay.
But he didn't find Su Qing, nor did he see Li Mingxiu.
When I asked the people in the weaving workshop, no one could explain where they had gone.
The weaving workshop had a rotation system for holidays. When it was Li Mingxiu's turn to take a holiday, she went wherever she wanted and the people in the weaving workshop did not pay attention to where she went.
In a panic, Aunt Li wanted to find Tong Huaqiong to ask about the situation, but she was afraid that Tong Huaqiong would know that she had given Su Qing fifty taels of silver, and her job would be completely ruined.
I can only wait for Su Qing to come back at the village entrance.
Where did Su Qing and Li Mingxiu go?
Naturally, she was taken to the county government office by Gu Taohua, and took Tong Huaqiong's letter to ask County Magistrate Liu to set up a female household.
In fact, Tong Huaqiong didn't even need to come forward. Li Mingxiu's tearful account of how her parents had died when she was young and her uncles had seized the family property and wanted to sell her to a wealthy family as a concubine made County Magistrate Liu, who had been an orphan and bullied by his clansmen since childhood, feel the same way.
After half a day's work, Li Mingxiu's daughter's vagina was erected.
County Magistrate Liu sent two yamen runners to the Li family, summoned Li Mingxiu's grandmother, uncles and others, and then called the clan leader and other people in the clan, and announced in public that Li Mingxiu had left the Li family and established a female household.
Li Mingxiu's grandmother looked at her granddaughter with tears in her eyes and a pale face. She obviously did not agree with her granddaughter setting up a female household.
Li Mingxiu's uncles and aunts jumped up and firmly opposed Li Mingxiu's establishment of a female household. Gu Taohua raised the official document in her hand to indicate that the government had filed it. Could it be that they wanted to go to the county government for a trial?
With two knife-wielding yamen runners guarding the scene, the uncles and uncles were so frightened that they dared not speak any more.
The bailiff then asked the clan leader which houses and the five acres of land left behind by Li Mingxiu's parents were, and whether they needed to be remeasured and registered and should be written in Li Mingxiu's name.
This time it was Li Mingxiu’s eldest cousin who jumped out.
The three rooms left by Li Mingxiu's parents are now occupied by his eldest cousin and his family, and the five acres of land is also cultivated by his eldest cousin.
"The house and land left by my uncle all belong to the Li family. I am the eldest son of the eldest branch of the Li family, so they naturally belong to me. What qualifications does Mingxiu, a little girl, have to compete with me?" The eldest cousin said while pointing his finger at Li Mingxiu.
The other clansmen and the villagers who were watching nodded, thinking that Li Mingxiu should not steal his eldest cousin's things.
"Ouch."
The eldest cousin wailed and fell to the ground, curled up in a ball. Gu Taohua and Li Mingxiu attacked at the same time, one kicked him in the lower abdomen and the other broke his fingers.
