Chapter 416: Recruitment
The villagers were speechless, but they were unwilling to give up.
Twenty taels of silver a month would be earned by other people?
When they heard from the people in the city about the twenty taels of silver, they were so excited that they were dumbfounded. They didn’t even dare to think about it. Which family in the mountains had seen twenty taels of silver in their entire lives?!
The person who opened the restaurant and offered this salary was actually from their village.
As people from Yunwu Village, they had to have a share of this money!
How could they bear to give it to others?!
This group of villagers had unintentionally treated Ye Lulu’s salary as their own. If they couldn’t get it, it would be a loss.
No wonder they were all extremely anxious and had looks of reluctance on their faces. It seemed like they didn’t even want their faces anymore.
“You guys are from Yunwu Village! You can’t let everyone be so poor that they can’t even eat. You guys even offered twenty taels as a monthly salary. How can you let other people earn that instead?!”
Even the young men and women couldn’t help but shout out from outside the crowd.
Ye Lulu was stunned.
After arguing for so long, although she knew that it was tough for ordinary people in ancient times, there was no logic in this. She was really annoyed.
She sneered and said:
“I don’t know how our family owes the village. If we did, why don’t we go to the officials together and get the county magistrate to judge this for us?”
Which farmer would argue with the government?
The anxious people fell silent on the spot.
“You don’t want to stay in the village anymore, right?!”
A man with a hateful face threatened.
Ye Lulu said, “In the end, isn’t it because we’re from the same village that you want us to give everyone money for free? Sure, let’s do this.”
“All families in the village who have a little money, each of you take out your family’s money and share it with your fellow villagers so that everyone can benefit.”
“Then our Guan family will take out twenty taels. How about that?”
“We’re not the only rich family in the village.”
“There’s no reason to just eye our money, right? There are a few big families in the village, and all of them have relatives in the city. They have fields at the foot of the mountain, and they can usually afford fish meat. If these families take out their things, our family is willing to pay as well.”
“That’s all.”
As soon as Ye Lulu finished speaking, many people’s expressions changed. It was fine to let the villagers take advantage of the Guan family, but no one was willing when it came to them!
No matter how poor they were and how they didn’t have anything for others to take advantage of, as long as they were supposed to take something from their house and give it to others, no one would be willing!
They were unwilling to even share a cabbage with others!
This time, Ye Lulu had done a checkmate on them.
“This… This can’t do…” The families who had lived well in the village for the longest time cowered the most and opened their mouths.
Ye Lulu smiled. “That’s right. Since you’re unwilling, why did you force our family?”
No one said anything.
Actually, it was not an unreasonable question. They just wanted to take advantage of them.
“Ye Lulu, everyone didn’t ask your family to give us money for nothing. It’s just that if you want to recruit people, you should find them from our village. You must show some gratitude. Everyone in the village has feelings for each other…”
An older auntie advised Ye Lulu earnestly. She did not give up and went back to her initial words.
Ye Lulu couldn’t be bothered to say more. She smiled and said, “No, I’m rebellious.”
The auntie was speechless. “…”
