Chapter 321 Work and Residence【2】
Yan, Zhang, Liu, Wang Liu, and the men of the five families were all happy. They told the Qin family about their visit to the Daan Carriage and Horse Shop and their half-day work experience. .
Yan Da: "The eldest son of my family, the eldest son of the Wang family, the younger brother of Uncle Zhang's family, and the younger brother of Uncle Liu's family were all accepted as apprentices because of their good eyesight and steady hands, so that they could learn how to drive. "
"Now as an apprentice, I get five hundred coins a month, but after I leave the apprenticeship, I get five hundred coins a month. The monthly income can be increased to one or two taels, or one or two taels of silver. After becoming a master master, the monthly income can be increased to two taels of silver. "
When the three of them were working as porters, they were tired! After thirty days of hard work, the three people's wages combined were only one tael of silver. Now Yan Dalang alone has this much monthly money.
"Brother Wang, Uncle Zhang and Uncle Liu have poor eyesight and can't learn to drive. We got big jobs, moving goods and taking care of livestock for a carriage and horse shop. We got 600 pence a month, and we also had to take care of a good meal. In winter, I can get a coat and two pairs of shoes.”
This is a new winter coat every year.
Ever since he had a child, he has not dared to make new clothes for almost ten years. Unexpectedly, the carriage and horse shop will give them free coats.
Yan Da almost cried thinking about it.
"Brother Liu Sheng is literate, can calculate accounts, and has a good brain. He can tell how many items have been brought in and how many items have been sold out. Shopkeeper Tang likes him very much and lets him go. As a bookkeeper... he has an old accountant to take care of him. Now he has a monthly payment of one tael of silver. After half a year, if the accounts are correct, it can be increased to one, two or five cents. After three years, if the accounts are correct, he can get a monthly payment of two taels of silver. It’s so awesome.”
Yan Da said excitedly and pulled the youngest boy over: "This is Fang Ming, Liu Sheng's brother-in-law. Although he is only ten years old, he got a job as a handyman because of his literacy. Now I have a monthly salary of 300 yuan.”
Although the monthly salary is small, as long as he occupies this position, after five years, this guy will be promoted to a big job.
Xiao Fangming was a little embarrassed and said: "I will work hard and won't embarrass you."
Liu Sheng said: "We can't neglect our schoolwork. , only by reading the book well can you get the opportunity, just like today, if. Even if you can memorize the Three-Character Sutra and calculate the goods in eight carriages, shopkeeper Tang will not make an exception and give you a job."
Xiao Fangming promised: "Well, brother-in-law, don't worry, I will study and do it every day. Don’t be lazy with your homework!”
After hearing this, Liu Sheng was very pleased... He had received great favor from his father-in-law's family, so after his father-in-law passed away, even if the family was not well off, he took his brother-in-law home to raise him. Now that he has found a job to make a living for him, he can be regarded as worthy of his father-in-law.
Grandpa Qin and Uncle Qin were very happy for them: "All five of your families have a job, so you don't have to worry about it in the future."
Yan Da nodded, but he still had a deep feeling in his heart. Deep worry: "In the future, My family has to put up incense on the table on the first and fifteenth day of every month, praying that the Da’an Car and Horse Shop can continue to operate for a long time.”
But we must not collapse. If the Da’an Car and Horse Shop collapses, theirs will be ruined. The job is gone, so he is afraid of thieves.
Haha, Grandpa Qin laughed out loud and comforted him: "Shopkeeper Tang is such a powerful person, but he is just the shopkeeper of Da'an Carriage and Horse Shop. It can be seen that the owner of this carriage and horse shop is ten times more powerful than Shopkeeper Tang. It’s more than twice that, with such an owner supporting it, it will be difficult for the carriage and horse shop.”
Nowadays, carriages and horses are needed to travel for people and goods, and the carriage and horse shop will also undertake the work of transporting supplies to government offices or military camps. This is an excellent business that cannot be failed easily.
After hearing this, Yan Da felt much relieved. He also felt that they were too poor and might embarrass the Qin family if they stayed in the inn for a long time, so he stood up and left.
Grandpa Qin saw their restraint and did not stay any longer. He gave the persimmons hanging in the guest house as gifts to several families: "The inn hangs them here for guests to eat. It doesn't cost money. You can take them back and eat them without worry." "
Yan Da and the others hesitated for a while and accepted the persimmons: "Thank you, Mr. Qin... Brother Qin, your father is so kind, you must be filial to him."
They heard. Qin Er didn't want to go home, so he tried to persuade him.
"Don't worry, I'm a well-known filial son!" Second Uncle Qin said, calling to Yan Da and the others: "Let's go, I'll take you to a good place and get you some good things." This guy is the boss of several families. He took them to the inn kitchen and took a bunch of leftover chicken, duck, fish and noodles from the guests, and packed five food boxes, one for each family. Give them: "They are all good things. I will come here for a meal every day, and the guys at the inn will also take these meat dishes home and give them to my family as a gift."
Although it is leftover food, for poor people who rarely eat meat dishes, this is delicious.
The rest of the family didn't dislike it, but they were afraid that Uncle Qin would be criticized by people in the inn.
Second Uncle Qin waved his hand: "Shopkeeper Xue Liu won't care about this. He is afraid of wasting food. If you take it and eat it, he will be happy."
After the family members heard this, they accepted it with confidence. After being sent out of the inn by Uncle Qin, they took the food box and went home happily.
......
Three days later, the uproarous case of Mr. Ma suddenly came to an end.
“I heard that Boss Ma was found guilty of a murder. He voluntarily admitted it and gave evidence. The adults quickly sentenced him to beheading. His two adult sons were also involved. He was also the main culprit who secretly collected money for personal protection, and was also sentenced to be beheaded. "
"His youngest son is fine, but the Ma family was raided. The younger son and the female relatives were kicked out of the Ma family. The government ordered them to leave the city within five days. You can no longer move to Fucheng.”
People in Fucheng gathered together and chatted about the Ma family's gossip.
Someone said: "The Ma family has offended so many people. Once the Ma family leaves the city, I am afraid they will die!"
"No, we are under strict control now, no one dares to do it at this juncture Harmful lives... However, it is inevitable to be beaten, made things difficult, or even tricked into selling out.”
< br>Some people said with hatred: "The Ma Yong escort family has done many evil things. They have harmed many families with gambling houses and prostitutes. The family members who eat the flesh and blood of good people are only sold into slavery. It is all at their advantage!"
"But don't gambling houses and prostitutes have someone behind them? The Ma family is nothing but a loser at best."
"Hey, boy Zhang, you don't want your life. How dare you say such a thing? Shut up now, otherwise you won't know when you will die!"
Why do you think Boss Ma suddenly confessed?
Do you think Boss Ma’s case suddenly went silent?
It’s not because the boss took action behind the scenes and wanted to cut off Boss Ma quickly to preserve the boss’s property in Fucheng. Otherwise, just because Boss Ma asked the gangsters to find beautiful girls and set up a scheme to force girls into prostitution, the whole story would be revealed!
That’s why the boss behind it wants to kill Boss Ma as soon as possible to prevent the government from finding out anything deeper.
The three government officials seemed not to want to cause trouble. They accepted that Boss Ma was the main culprit and did not continue to investigate further, so the case came to an abrupt end.
"It's all gone, it's all gone, the Chinese New Year is coming soon, don't send yourself to jail just because you didn't keep the door open!"
Everyone listened and stopped gathering to talk. Boss Ma's matters have been settled one after another.
......
Although the case of the government office was handled roughly, it was somewhat conscientious. It returned the money that had been collected for nearly twenty years for the protection of the Wei family, and even said a few words. The family members are successful in catching the murderer, so they will be given a reward and asked to go to the government office to collect the money tomorrow.
