The two n ran off in embarrassnt, sporting bruised eyes and faces swollen like pig heads. With that matter settled, Yang Ruxin walked around the village with the two won and first went to the furniture workshop to check the orders and designs for this year, and then headed to the construction site of the dicinal wine workshop where the work was bustling with activity.
Seeing them approach, the workers greeted them from afar, each with a bright smile on their face.
In the past, every winter, everyone would scatter in search of work, often only earning a few copper coins even after working exhaustively all day, but more often than not, they couldn’t find any work at all. Since Xinxin beca assertive, as long as they worked diligently and didn’t slack off, each person could earn a few taels of silver a month, and the outstanding workers even received bonuses and monthly benefits. Now everyone not only had enough to eat but could even enjoy at every day. Who from other places wasn’t envious of them?
Sotis when they went out, people from other villages would co over to befriend them, all wanting to work under Xinxin, which was indeed a matter of pride.
Xinxin was indeed their good luck charm.
"Xinxin, you shouldn’t be running around with your big belly," Li Zhong, the person in charge, frowned as soon as he saw Yang Ruxin approaching, "I promise to handle everything well." He then looked at Dong Wenxiu and Feng Zilan, "Ladies, you shouldn’t let her run wild, this girl is quite daring."
"Did you hear that?" Dong Wenxiu glared at Yang Ruxin.
"I know you all worry about , don’t worry, I know my limits." Yang Ruxin hastily raised her hand to show compliance, "I won’t risk myself and the child."
"Good to hear." Li Zhong also smiled, "Alright, just look around and head back. It’s dusty here, don’t choke on it; I’ll head over there first."
"Thank you for your hard work, Uncle Zhong." Yang Ruxin nodded.
"Xinxin, you ca over!" The village chief, who would co by the site every day and sotis help shovel earth or move bricks, quickly put down the iron shovel and ca over when he saw Yang Ruxin, not forgetting to greet Dong Wenxiu and Feng Zilan as well.
"Village Chief, you know you’re not getting paid for this, right?" Yang Ruxin couldn’t help but laugh at the muddy-footed village chief.
"Oh, it’s fine," the village chief waved his hand, "Xinxin, I wanted to ask you about sothing."
"Please, go ahead!"
"After the dicinal wine workshop is finished, will you be hiring workers?" The village chief asked hopefully. Although their village was already known far and wide for its prosperity, many nearby villages were still struggling.
"Yes." Yang Ruxin nodded.
"Could these workers possibly co from our neighboring villages?" The village chief rubbed his hands together, "Although quite a few people are on the transport team and so are growing dicinal herbs, those are still in the minority, right? So people..."
"Sure." Yang Ruxin readily nodded in agreent.
"Ah?" The village chief was taken aback; he had prepared a lot of persuasive argunts, but they went unused. She agreed so easily?
"I’ll leave this matter to you, Village Chief. As you can see, it’s inconvenient for with this big belly, and even after the baby cos, I’ll need to take care of it," Yang Ruxin laughed. "You already know my hiring standards, so you should be the one to decide who to employ. But initially, we don’t need too many people, a dozen or so will do. In the future, as we expand, the demand will increase, and at that ti we’ll sign employnt contracts and confidentiality agreents. But by then, Village Chief, you’ll need to step up as the manager..."
