I Was Called a Poor Widow, But I Relied on My Supernatural Powers To Fight Back In Ancient Times Chapter 26

Chapter 26 Let's go to work

Bai Yunxi said, looking directly at Bai Anyi,

"Fourth brother, although your eldest brother often walks in the town, he has never been to the dock. You will take him there tomorrow, help him register his name, and take care of him for a few days. When your eldest brother gets used to it, he will come back to open up wasteland."

After listening to her mother's instructions, Bai Anyi subconsciously wanted to refuse, but when the words came to her mouth, she turned around and said,

“Mom, don't worry, my son promises to send his eldest brother there, and also say hello to the boss of the dock and ask someone to take care of him.”

'I only said to take the boss there, but didn't ask him to take part in carrying the big bag. Somehow, I always feel like I am deliberately playing tricks on my eldest brother. '

Bai Yunxi frowned as he listened to the fourth child's thoughts. This bear boy was a little confused, but he was quite smart.

If you want to train your boss, you have to start with the hardest and most tiring work.

No pain, no itching, no long memory.

"Okay, let's all go down and prepare. Tomorrow morning, everyone will be busy according to the division of labor. Fourth brother, tomorrow your eldest brother will carry the money to pay the bill and go directly to the grain store to buy rice. The food at home is only enough for tomorrow. .”

Bai Anyi listened to my mother's instructions and nodded repeatedly.

“Don't worry, mother, I will definitely buy the rice back tomorrow.”

“Carrying big bags is a laborious job. Generally speaking, a strong man can earn seventy or eighty cents a day. It's his first time for your eldest brother to participate. If he can earn thirty or fifty cents, it's pretty good. Our family can't afford polished rice, so we can just buy brown rice.”

There was no turmoil during this period, and the price of rice was stable. Brown rice was the common people's ration, priced at seven cents per liter, and aged brown rice at six cents.

Polished rice is expensive, and one liter can be exchanged for two to three liters of brown rice.

"Don't worry, mother, my son will definitely do it." Bai Anyi looked at his eldest brother's tense face, with a flash of schadenfreude in his eyes.

　　　'Hey~, this is really a disservice to me. The boss always regards himself as an eldest brother and like a father. Every time he looks at his nose or eyes, now it's his turn to show off, so don't let your guard down. '

Everyone was arranged by Baiyun Xi. As the elder, she made the final decision and let everyone disperse.

Bai Anchen followed Du Shi back to their shack. Looking at the dark and damp room, his face turned as dark as the bottom of a pot.

Du Shi poured him a glass of water and put it in front of him.

“The officials have been working hard all the way, so drink some tea to moisten your throat.”

“You were mute just now. Didn't you know how to stop me when my mother assigned me a job just now?”

Bai Anchen looked at the poor wife in front of him with undisguised disgust in his eyes.

Having a glum look on her face makes me feel bored just looking at him.

“The work assigned by my mother cannot be refuted, and my second and fourth brothers' objections were blocked by my mother. Besides, there is no way to untie the pot at home, so my mother must be in a hurry, that's why she is like this.”

Du Shi looked at the man in front of her with a dull expression.

Bai Anchen wanted to bang the table and throw the bowl to vent his anger, but he was afraid that the noise would be too loud for my mother to hear, so he could only suppress his anger and yell at Du Shi,

"If you can't open the pot, put all the burden on my head and let a scholar go to the dock to carry the big bag. What are you talking about? Sooner or later, you will lose all my face."

Du Shi pursed her lips and did not answer. This cowardly man knew how to yell at her when he was angry.

It's not like she asked her to carry the big bag. She has the ability to argue with her mother-in-law.

Seeing him lying on the bed with his head covered with a quilt, Du Shi numbly turned around and moved out. There were still many things to classify, and she couldn't be idle.

After assigning the tasks, Baiyunxi also entered his room and began to sort the items.
