Reborn as an Ugly Wife in the Countryside Chapter 1326 - 1328: Are You Saying That the Mountain Should

Although the woman didn’t continue speaking, everyone with a sharp eye could understand her aning.

She was implying that both the old Zhong Family and the old Li Family were hiring people. If everyone went up to the mountain to work, there might be no one left to work on the Li Family’s fields. This was a way to pass a ssage to Chuntao’s mother.

Xiaoxiao felt a bit helpless. These people were really just too idle. They were given such a good opportunity to earn so Silver, yet they wouldn’t take it and instead indulged in such backstabbing behavior. Although a bit annoyed, Xiaoxiao didn’t say anything. She wanted to see how Chuntao’s mother would respond, after all, Chuntao’s mother might beco Yang Dong’s mother-in-law, right?

Yang Dong’s marriage was a constant headache for his family. Li Chuntao, on the other hand, had a good impression of Yang Dong. Although the two of them hadn’t had any aningful interactions yet, there would surely be an opportunity, wouldn’t there?

First, let’s see what kind of person Chuntao’s mother is. If she really listened to such village gossip, it wouldn’t be easy to get along in the future.

Thinking of this, Xiaoxiao decided to stay silent.

Chuntao’s mother obviously understood the woman’s implication. She replied, "Our family’s farming season only lasts a few days; it doesn’t really conflict. Besides, there’s a rule that only those under forty-five can go up the mountain, right? Isn’t there still a group of n over forty-five? Picking corn isn’t anything strenuous, won can do it too. If there’s really no one available, I’ll ask you all for help. You can earn a bit of Silver too, isn’t that right? Moreover, aren’t there people from other villages? Can you really keep live people from relieving themselves? In any case, our corn won’t be left in the fields; soone will do it. You all don’t need to worry about this."

Chuntao’s words made everyone present feel a bit embarrassed, with soone awkwardly saying, "Aunt Li, you truly have a broad mind."

Chuntao’s mother wasn’t upset by the woman’s words nor did she flaunt any idea of superiority because her family had money. She just kept smiling, "Haha, that’s right, our family has nothing to be worried about. I should be broad-minded. Not like you all, thinking too much. You’ve pondered so long over this opportunity to earn Silver, and while you hesitated, soone else snatched the good fortune."

Upon hearing Chuntao’s words, everyone imdiately understood what she ant. She was talking about the Zhong Family’s situation with Bao Mountain.

In the eyes of these won, Chuntao’s words carried so weight. In their hearts, families that could earn Silver were quick-witted, so soone asked, "Aunt Li, are you saying that we should take on the contract for the mountain?"

Chuntao’s mother replied, "The Zhong Family ca up with the idea to contract the mountain because of trouble with the Feng Family’s boy. They’re in a tough spot now and want you to work on the mountain to help them through difficult tis. But they’re showing real sincerity, offering you the chance to earn Silver."

"Not to sound harsh, but even if they didn’t contract the mountain and just increased the wages a bit, people would still go up there to work. Now they’re letting you share in the Silver they earn, and you hesitate? Are you waiting for them to hire people from other villages? By next year, when you see that the mountain is profitable, you might want to contract it, but it might not be available then. The people who contracted the mountain this year won’t relinquish their spot."

Chuntao’s words made the others realize sothing. Isn’t that exactly what Chuntao said? If the Zhong Family hadn’t run into trouble, would there even be a contract for the mountain? Wouldn’t they just obediently go up the mountain for fifteen cents a day of work like before?
