I feel so good after dressing up as a peasant girl

Chapter 330 The Return of the Bai Family 3

Bai had never expected that Ning Cuizhi, who was living such a good life now, was still willing to maintain her friendship. She felt mixed emotions and had a hard time holding back her tears.

Ning Cuizhi took her to her home and to the yard of Gu Wenxuan and Bai Jingzhou. When Gu Wenxuan heard the noise, she stood up and called Ning Cuizhi "mother" and Bai "aunt" with a smile.

Mrs. Bai was very restrained. She uttered a "hmm" cautiously, then half lowered her head, rubbed the corner of her clothes, and dared not speak.

While inviting her and Ning Cuizhi to sit down, Gu Wenxuan looked at her inconspicuously and found that she was very thin, with cracks and calluses all over her hands. She immediately realized that she might not be able to do farming and weaving work in the short term.

She thought about it and gave Bai two choices. "I have two jobs suitable for you. One is to help in the kitchen of the textile workshop, and the other is to raise chickens, ducks and geese on the farm."

"Our textile workshop provides lunch for the female workers every day, but there is already a suitable cook in the kitchen. You can only be a kitchen helper. A kitchen helper not only has to wash and cut vegetables, wash pots and dishes, but also serve meals and dishes to the female workers in the workshop."

"As for wages, I can give you 800 coins per month. Counting the various benefits during the New Year holidays, you can earn about 10 strings of coins a year. In addition, the workshop can also provide you with a free lunch every day."

"If you raise chickens, ducks and geese on a farm, you won't get a free lunch, but you can earn a little more than working as a kitchen helper in a textile workshop."

"Last year, among those who raised chickens, ducks and geese in our village, the half-grown boy who earned the least made about 12 strings of cash a year, while the woman who earned the most made a little over 15 strings of cash."

"I have vacant houses on the farm and in the village that I can lend you for free, so no matter which job you choose, housing won't be a problem."

The textile workshop does have ready-made dormitories for female workers, but her son is already five years old, and it would not be appropriate for him to live there when he grows older. Instead of letting them move back and forth later, it would be better to let them live in the village from the beginning.

Anyway, she still had two empty houses that she had bought in the village before, which had not been demolished and had not been rented out or sold.

Bai didn't expect that Gu Wenxuan would give her two choices. She was a little flattered.

After thinking hard and weighing the pros and cons, Bai finally chose to work as a kitchen helper in a textile workshop. "I, I still want to stay in our village."

She did not live a happy life after marriage, and after her husband died, she was kicked out of the house along with her children by her in-laws.

When she was most desperate and helpless, it was her fellow tribesmen who sought justice for her, and it was also her fellow tribesmen who enthusiastically helped and comforted her.

Living with her tribe members made her feel more secure than going to a village where she was unfamiliar with the place. Therefore, she would rather earn less and stay in the village and with her tribe members.

Uh, that doesn't seem right. Ten strings of cash a year, that's already a very high amount she's never dreamed of, okay?

Not to mention that she is just a weak woman, even those tall and strong young men, if they go out to work for rich families, it would be difficult for them to earn ten strings of cash a year, right?

Not to mention that Gu Wenxuan also said that she would give her free lunch and free housing.

Bai felt embarrassed to take advantage of others, so he offered to pay rent.

Gu Wenxuan looked at Ning Cuizhi. She was not good at arguing with others about these things. What she said was what she really wanted to give.

Ning Cuizhi knew Gu Wenxuan very well. When she saw her looking at her, she immediately took the initiative to speak.

"You don't have to pay rent. With your salary, you can buy a house in the village by next year at the latest, or buy land and build a house. It would be too much of a stretch to pay rent if you're only going to live here for a year or two."

"When you have your own house, you can send your two children to the village school, and then you can live a good life."

Bai was surprised, "Two children?"

Gu Wenxuan explained, "My family has set up a girls' school. When your cousin is five years old, you can send her there to study, practice martial arts, or learn a craft."

"She knows how to read and do math, so people will look up to her wherever she goes. She won't have to worry about being cheated when she goes out or buys something like you do."

"Being good at fighting is even more important. If you can beat that family of ruthless bastards, who would dare to fight you? You and your cousins ​​wouldn't have to live in fear."

Bai: ...

No, even if she had the ability, she didn't have the courage to beat her parents-in-law, husband, or sisters-in-law.

However, she was still very tempted by Gu Wenxuan's suggestion of learning a craft. If both children could learn the skills to support the family, she would be able to rest assured even if she died immediately.

It is this bunch of repair...

She looked at Gu Wenxuan nervously, "If my two children go to school, will my salary be enough to pay their tuition?"

Gu Wenxuan raised her eyebrows and briefly told her about the low tuition fees and various subsidies, exemptions, and reward policies of the village school.

When Bai heard this, she was immediately excited. With red eyes, she said that she would send her two children to school even if she had to eat coarse food.

Gu Wenxuan smiled, "Didn't I tell you that the school has a tuition reduction policy, as well as various rewards and subsidies. No matter what, you won't have to eat coarse food."

Bai smiled embarrassedly.

Gu Wenxuan added: "During the time when the children cannot go to the cram school, you can bring them to the workshop to work. They can also eat for free in the workshop. However, you must be careful not to let the children go anywhere other than the kitchen and the dining room."

Bai nodded repeatedly, "I'll let them find a place where they won't get in the way."

Her two children also suffered a lot in that home. In order to avoid being beaten and scolded and to have normal meals, although they were still young, they were all very well-behaved.

Bai had full confidence that as long as she gave serious instructions, her two children would never cause trouble for her and prevent her from working in the workshop.

Facts have proved that Bai's confidence was well-founded. Her two children were really well-behaved and obedient. When they followed Bai to work in the workshop, not only did they never cause any trouble, but they also helped with picking and washing vegetables, running errands and delivering messages, and other tasks within their ability.

Ning Cuizhi observed for a while and felt relieved to see that the family of three had adapted to life in Baijia Village and they were happy every day.

That's right, Ning Cuizhi pays attention to the actions of this family of three every day, which is seen by some people, who interpret other meanings.

There were more and more people whispering in her ears, and Ning Cuizhi couldn't help but feel annoyed.

Unable to bear the pressure on Gu Wenxuan, Ning Cuizhi urged her son privately, "Take the pulse of Wenxuan and yourself to see why she hasn't gotten pregnant yet."

Bai Jingzhou: ...
