then After Xia He figured out the instructions, she asked the four children and Li Gui to gather in the living room so that she could teach them. In the future, if Li Gui was too busy and did not have time to reply after receiving messages, the children would be able to help her. It was very important that Zhang Wei learned how to use it. He was going to be on his own in school in the future, so he must be well-versed in it.
Qiao Mei could read and understand the manual herself, so she did not sit through the session conducted by “Professor Xia”.
After all this while, she had not personally gone to the place where corn kernels were produced to take a look. It was always Xia He who went to do the weighing and pay the women, and Li Gui who rode the three-wheeled vehicle to pick up the corn kernels. She did not know if these people were doing their job well, but it was better for her to take time out to go and take a look for herself.
By the time it was dusk, everyone gradually worked slower. After a busy day, they were all a little weary, and their hands were especially tired and sore. This job was not as easy as they had imagined, but the advantage was that they could make a lot of money.
!!
“Sigh… How long more before we are done? My hands are so sore. I feel so tired thinking about the fact that I still have to wash the children’s clothes when I get home,” Sun Jiao said as she looked at her slightly red and swollen hands.
Sun Juan also took a look at her hands. After doing farm work all year round, there was already a thick layer of calluses on her hands and she did not feel any pain at all. She was already used to such hard work.
In the past, when her daughter was still alive, her considerate daughter would always give her a hand massage. Now, there was no one around to do that for her and she could only hold on to these memories.
Qiao Mei made her way to the courtyard quietly and was very shocked to see the piles of corn at the side. She did not expect them to work so quickly. Even if Li Gui used 60 to 70 pounds of corn kernels a day, they were able to produce that amount for her.
“You’re all hard at work!” Qiao Mei said with a smile as she walked into the house.
“You are…” Sun Juan stood up and looked at Qiao Mei in puzzlement. Before this, they only knew that the owner of this house was a pregnant woman, and that she was not on good terms with Su Liang. However, they had only heard about these things from others. In fact, apart from Qiao Mei’s immediate neighbors, no one else had seen her before.
Ever since the day Su Liang came to cause trouble, Qiao Mei had stayed at home and did not leave the house at all. She focused on resting and taking care of her pregnancy. Although Qiao Mei and Xia Zhe had gone around to deliver candy when they first moved in, it was a long time ago and no one remembered it anymore.
Xia He had always been in charge of the business here. Qiao Mei only came to fill the entire house with corn when no one was around and she never took the initiative to show her face.
“I’m Qiao Mei. I don’t know if anyone still remembers me. I’m here today to pay everyone’s salary,” Qiao Mei said as she patted her bulging pockets.
Upon hearing Qiao Mei’s name, everyone immediately perked up. Firstly, it was because Qiao Mei was their big boss. If they did not take good care of their big boss and left a bad impression on her, they could lose their job at any time. Secondly, it was because they all had grudges against Old Madam Fan but could not find any suitable opportunity or reason to deal with Old Madam Fan for many years. However, after Qiao Mei came, not only did she manage to deal with Old Madam Fan, but she even dealt with her wayward sons as well. They were all filled with admiration and gratitude for Qiao Mei.
She had gotten rid of evil for the common people! Not only did she help them with their financial situation, but she also solved that difficult problem in their lives. Qiao Mei was their lucky star!
“Oh! Why are you here personally? Your stomach is already so big, you have to be careful. You’re about to give birth,” Sun Juan said worriedly as she looked at Qiao Mei’s stomach.
“Yes, but since I’m almost due now, I can’t just lie at home all the time. I have to move around more. The doctor said that if I don’t exercise appropriately, I won’t be able to give birth easily,” Qiao Mei said.
They did not understand these terms and theories. The women present had all given birth before, but their family situations did not even allow them to rest after they gave birth. They had to take care of their families without the luxury of having a confinement period. Although they had never heard about what Qiao Mei was saying, they could understand the logic.
Qiao Mei did not stand around to catch up with them. Instead, she asked them to pack up the corn kernels for today and to do the weighing one by one in front of her before she handed them their salaries for the day.
Not only did they have to pack up the corn kernels properly, but they also had to pack up the corn cobs..
