The stepsister of a peasant family in a book is spoiled by the big brothers

Chapter 185 Clues



Chapter 185 Clues

Doctor Ding has to treat three seriously injured workers and will have to come to the dam every day for the next few days.

He gave instructions on what to pay attention to and left with the medicine box.

After Jiang Qibin sent Doctor Ding away, he looked everywhere for Song Ruize and finally found him at the place where the accident happened.

"Brother Ze, what are you doing here?"

"Do you think this location is prone to collapse?" Song Ruize said, touching the mud next to him.

"The soil on the mountain wall next to it is a little loose, and there is indeed a possibility of collapse."

"If that's the case, why did the logging crew choose such a dangerous place to cut down trees?"

"Brother Ze, are you saying this wasn't an accident, but a man-made one?" Jiang Qibin lowered his voice and said, "After this happened, the supervisor's position was replaced, and the new supervisor is from Tong Baitou. Do you think he planned this?"

"Whether it's true or not, this Tong Baotou is our enemy. We can't let him get away with it." Song Ruize said calmly, "We have to find a way to completely deal with him."

"Brother Ze, you said..."

"No rush. Take good care of the three seriously injured brothers first. Send them home when they are better. Let him be proud for the time being. When you have time, you can settle the accounts with him in detail." Song Ruize said calmly.

"Brother Ze, this time I've fined you half a year's salary. You gave all your previous money to Sister Huiyin, and you don't have much money left. How about I support you in the future?" Jiang Qibin said, patting his chest.

Song Ruize rolled up his sleeves and punched Jiang Qibin in the head.

Jiang Qibin squatted down, dodged his attack, and ran away quickly: "If you don't want to raise it, then don't raise it. Why are you so angry? You have such a bad temper, only Sister Huiyin can stand you."

Li Taohua was thinking all the way about whether to tell Qin Huiyin about Song Ruize. After returning home, she saw that Qin Huiyin was busy like a top and didn't even have time to rest, so she didn't mention those bad things again.

It was useless to talk about those things. They couldn't help Song Ruize. In the end, the boy could only rely on himself. Her daughter was not his nanny, so there was no need to make her daughter upset because of other people's affairs.

Qin Huiyin inspected the progress of the house and made some suggestions for improvement. The craftsmen listened very well to her advice and immediately arranged time to make corrections whenever the boss pointed out something that was not done well.

The double-breasted iron pots needed for the Chuan Chuan Xiang shop have also been ordered, and we only have to wait seven days to receive them.

Carpenter Zhang was also working on tables and chairs for the Chuan Chuan Xiang shop. The tables needed to have a hollowed-out center to accommodate the iron pot. Furthermore, there needed to be a place to store charcoal underneath the pot, making it convenient for cooking while eating. Next to it was a design similar to a stove spout. When the lid was closed, the fire inside would be intensified by the amount of air that entered, depending on how tightly the lid was sealed.

"Oh, isn't this Mingxiu?"

A woman in the village was washing clothes by the river when she saw a woman dressed beautifully appear in the village. She thought it was a relative from a certain family until the woman took the initiative to greet her and she recognized her.

Tang Mingxiu adjusted the hairpin on her head, pinched her handkerchief and said, "Aunts, you are washing clothes again!"

"Mingxiu, where did you go to make your fortune?" When the women saw Tang Mingxiu dressed so seductively that she didn't even wash her clothes, they came over one by one to touch the fabric of her clothes.

Tang Mingxiu looked at those rough hands touching his body, and a look of disgust flashed in his eyes.

"Aunt, I'm going home first. We'll talk when I have time." Tang Mingxiu said.

"Don't go yet. Tell me, where are you going to make a fortune?" The women saw that she was dressed so gorgeously and would not let her go without getting confirmation.

"It's nothing actually. I'm married to a rich man now, and he supports me!" said Tang Mingxiu.

"You are so lucky. Marrying well is better than anything else for a woman."

"Yes, I heard before that Li Taohua is good at business and is a capable person. But what good girl would want to go out and show her face in public? No matter how good a woman is at work, it is not as good as marrying a good man."

"Aunts, I'm going back to see my mother first." Tang Mingxiu said as he strode away.

"Didn't Tang Mingxiu lose her virginity before and get pregnant? How blind can a slut marry so well? How blind can that man be?"

As soon as Tang Mingxiu left, the women who had been praising her just now immediately changed their tone and began to show disdain for Tang Mingxiu.

"Anyway, Tang Mingxiu married a rich man. Let's ask her to help us find a rich man for our daughter. Then we can enjoy a good life in the future, right?"

When Tang Mingxiu returned home, he saw that the wall next door was so high that even with two ladders, let alone one, he couldn't climb it. Furthermore, there were some sharp objects stuck on the wall, which looked like pieces of iron.

Compared with the high wall next door, my home looks like a small, dilapidated house that may collapse at any time.

As soon as Tang Mingxiu pushed the door open and went in, Wang came back with a backpack on her back.

"Xiu'er," Wang said excitedly, "are you coming back this time to take me to enjoy a peaceful life?"

Tang Mingxiu said calmly, "Mom, I just got back and I'm a little hungry. Can you boil some eggs for me?"

"Okay, wait."

Tang Mingxiu found a seat and sat down.

Wang Shi didn't scold or beat her like before, nor did she nag her to work. Instead, she generously cooked four eggs, kept one for herself, and gave the remaining three to her.

Tang Mingxiu felt the residual warmth of the egg and thought about the suffering he had endured during this period, and suddenly tears began to flow down his face.

"What's the matter? I heard that you're married to a rich man now, wearing silk and satin, and even wearing a gold hairpin, and your life is so beautiful. Why are you crying?"

"Mom, I came back this time... to recruit some people to help me. My husband and I have a big business, and we're short on manpower. It would be great if we could find a few people from the village to help."

"Your brother has such a big business, didn't he bring anything back for mother?" Wang spread out her hands and looked at Tang Mingxiu expectantly. "You can't keep it for yourself. The next time I see your brother, I'll ask him."

Tang Mingxiu took out ten taels of silver and put it into Wang's hand indifferently: "This is for you. Go ask the villagers first. We want to recruit unmarried girls between the ages of twelve and fifteen to work as servants."

"Is there any salary?"

"Eight hundred wen a month."

"So high? They only accept children aged twelve to fifteen? If mother doesn't accept such a high salary, I might have to do it. It's very hard." Wang was very envious when she heard such a high salary.

"Mom, I'm looking for a young girl to work for the store. You're too old to scare away the customers," Tang Mingxiu said. "Go ask the village first and tell them they're only hiring ten people."
