Chapter 446 He Qiu
For a moment, many people who had nothing to do raised their hands.
Xiao Xuanli has been in the village for two months and has gotten to know quite a few people and also understood some of their personalities.
Seeing some lazy people raising their hands, he immediately frowned.
If we hand the boat over to those people, it will probably be destroyed or even stolen within three days.
But he was worrying too much.
There was no way Song Chuman would choose those people.
He Qiu in the crowd raised his hand, and when he saw that Song Chuman's eyes were not on him, he suddenly felt disappointed.
He had been helping his relatives with work in the city, so he was not in the village when Song Chuman was selecting people to build the house and farm the land.
His relative's business was not good, so he worked as a waiter for a year but was never paid.
Money is needed everywhere at home, and if he doesn’t get any more money, his family will starve to death.
If you do not dare to guard the fishing boat, which is heavy work, then you are a fool.
He Qiu looked up suddenly and saw that Ni Yiman was really looking at me.
Song Chuman nodded: "Yes, I would have troubled Brother He in the past."
"That's useful." Song Chuman pointed at eight people again, "Are these eight willing to come as well?"
I wanted to go find Ji Waizheng, but my parents were worried that even if I took the money, I would be retaliated against, so they advised me to give up.
He Qiu was very excited. "Aman, it's troublesome. He is worried. You must guard the fishing boat for him. If the fishing boat is not damaged at all, you must pay him with your life."
Seven people nodded at the same time: "Bad."
Although I was willing, I could only agree temporarily in order to reassure my parents.
Ni Yiman smiled with satisfaction, "Oh no, the seven of them decided among themselves which two would guard during the day and which two would guard at night. It's because every time they guard at night, they have to clean the fishing boat after you go out to sea during the day, so that job is also very stressful."
If Song Chuman had chosen me, without the income of 70 cents a day, our whole family would have starved to death.
He was anxious and wanted to report to the authorities, but his relatives said that they only paid him 500 coins a month, which was only six taels of silver a year. The authorities would not arrest him for six taels of silver and might even beat him with a stick.
There was no other way, he could only tell his relatives that he would not help anymore and asked them to pay him the wages.
The eight people who were pointed at all nodded their heads rapidly.
He was scared. His relatives had many sons and he was very thin, so he had no way to confront them head-on. He could only go home and ask his parents for help.
But I recently went to Shanghai to look for starfish and seafood, and I have had little income since then.
Song Chuman glanced at the people who raised their hands, and suddenly pointed at two people, "It's him, and him."
He Qiu was feeling lost when someone suddenly touched his arm. "He family boy, what are you doing standing there? Ah Man chose him."
But unfortunately, my parents were sick and had difficulty even going to bed, so there was no way to help them.
Even if he is caught, it is not a capital crime. When he is released, he will take revenge severely and make it impossible for them to live in Qingyu Village.
He Qiu pointed at himself, looked around, and said in disbelief: "Aman, did he really choose you?"
But the relative said arrogantly that he had no money and would not give him any money, so he could go wherever he wanted.
Zeng Changliang shouted, "It's bad! Song Chuman, you also raised your hand. Although you are less than eighty years old, you are just guarding and sweeping the boat. You can also work. Why do you have to do it?"
