Shao Zhongxi was actually here as well. He stood behind their old house with his hands behind his back. As long as they passed by their old house, they would be able to see him.
On the fifth lap, Xue Yan felt as if his legs weighed a thousand kilograms, and he couldn’t lift his leg one step further no matter what. He clearly felt that he was actually still running, but when he saw Jiang Yue being led by Qi Yin and walking faster than him, only then did he know that everything was just an illusion.
Originally, the villagers were not surprised to see Xue Yan running because they all knew that there was a master called Gu Jin who was going to teach Xue Yan martial arts in the village.
However, seeing Xue Yan so tired that he couldn’t run at all and still persisted, some of the young wives in the village who were washing things by the river couldn’t help but start gossiping.
“Look at how tired Xue Yan is.” One of the wives said with a smile as she scrubbed her clothes with a wooden board while looking at Xue Yan on the road by the river. “How is that considered martial arts? This is clearly buying pain with money.”
“Exactly.” One of the wives agreed with her and looked at him as if she was watching a joke. “It’s only because their family is rich that they have the leisure to learn martial arts. Other people don’t have such luck to experience something like that.”
“That’s true.” Another wife laughed. “It’s all thanks to them that our village is getting better and better. Didn’t his family want to hire forty people for something? My husband was also hired. The village chief had even asked us first. He said that as long as my husband did a good job and as long as their workshop needed people, he would be in a long-term job and get paid.”
“My husband wasn’t hired, but my mother was. He said that my mother worked quickly, was willing to put in the work, and was a down-to-earth person. He asked my mother to help make rice noodles. My mother was very happy with the work.” Another wife said happily.
The wives of the other families who had not been hired were a little jealous, but they also knew how Lizheng hired people. In fact, they were still convinced that he was a little biased sometimes.
“That’s nothing compared to what he is doing,” a wife suddenly said excitedly.
“Apparently, I heard that Master Gu is earning five silver per month to teach Xue Yan martial arts.’
“Five silver?” The other wives widened their eyes.
Their families could not save so much money in a year…
“Yeah,” the wife said. “When my father-in-law was chatting with Dafu, Dafu mentioned that it was five silver.’
“Wow!” The other wives were still shocked. “Why is Dafu’s family so generous? That’s five silver per month gone to waste. That’s… Sixty silver per year! Only for a year of martial arts…”
At this moment, a wife who was originally shocked calmed down and said, “It is true that Dafu!s family is very rich now. They definitely have more money than we might think. Think about it. If we don’t count the people that Dafu has already hired, just this batch would cost him about eighteen silver per month to distribute and-”
Without waiting for the wife to finish speaking, the other wives widened their eyes as if they were about to pop out. “Eighteen silver?!!!”
They did not know how to count, but it still shocked them!
They originally thought that it was fine to hire 40 people. After all, each person would only earn a few coins for odd jobs.
However, they did not think to add up all the salaries!
A daughter-in-law spoke up, “Just the total salary of these forty people is eighteen silver a month. Once we add on Master Gu t s monthly salary and the wages of the people who have already been hired in the shop… In short, Dafu’s family has to give nearly thirty silver a month. That is terrifying.. How much money does Dafu’s family earn a month?”
