Chapter 183 Paying wages

After hearing Chu Mulin's affirmative answer, Yang Meihua felt her heart beat faster. Then she excitedly said to Chu Mulin, "Boss, what do you say about me making matchboxes at home from now on?"

"Definitely not."

"why?"

"Of course it's because you still have to go to work. If everyone has the same idea as you and doesn't go to work, who will farm the land?"

When Yang Meihua heard Chu Mulin's words, her mind immediately came to her senses. Yes, if all the villagers stayed at home making matchboxes instead of going to work, then who would farm the land in their village?

Thinking of this, she said to Chu Mulin: "Boss, I was distracted just now."

"It's okay, because you are not the only one who thinks so. Everyone in the village will definitely think so after they get their wages tomorrow."

"What should I do?"

"Don't worry, I've already thought of a way to deal with it."

"any solution?"

"You'll know tomorrow. It's getting late. Go get ready and go to bed. I have a lot of things to do tomorrow."

When Yang Meihua heard what Chu Mulin said, she nodded. She took the quilt off the kang cabinet and spread it on the kang. Then she turned off the kerosene lamp. Then she and Chu Mulin got into their respective beds and went to sleep.

The next morning, Chu Yiling was awakened by the long-lost sound of a horn. While getting dressed, she asked Meng Qiuping who had walked into her room, "Mom, don't we have to go to work now? Why is the horn ringing again?"

"You'll know in a moment. If you want to join in the fun, hurry up, or you'll miss it."

When Chu Yiling heard Meng Qiuping's words, she immediately quickened the pace of getting dressed. After a while, she was dressed, then she got off the kang and went to the kitchen to wash up.

After she finished washing up, she saw Meng Qiuping handing her an egg and a glass of milk. She quickly took the egg and milk and finished them.

Then the three of them went out together and walked towards the threshing ground.

When they were about to reach the threshing ground, they saw that it was already crowded with people. There were more people than at the mobilization meeting for the autumn harvest, and the threshing ground was almost full.

It seems that the whole village is out today, otherwise where would so many people come from?

"Dad, what's going on?"

"What else could it be? Of course it's to pay the workers. Otherwise, why would all the villagers come out in such a cold weather?"

Chu Yiling realized what was going on after hearing Chu Anshan's words. It was all her fault that she had been so sleepy that she didn't think about it.

However, the villagers only made matchboxes and medicine bags for half a month, so they probably didn't get much pay.

But no matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat, not to mention the villagers who have no way to make money. I think they will work even harder to paste matchboxes and medicine bags after receiving their wages today.

It seems her mother is busy.

"Everyone, please be quiet. I think you have guessed why I called you to the threshing ground today. That's right. I called you here today to pay you."

Everyone present became excited when they heard Chu Mulin's words, because nothing could make them happier than getting money.

However, although they were excited, they did not make much noise because they were afraid of affecting the speed of salary payment.

Chu Mulin nodded in satisfaction at the reaction of the crowd, so he stopped arguing and directly asked the accountant and several team leaders to come up and start paying wages to the villagers according to the records in the registration book.
