Chapter 589 Don’t know what’s good or bad
The old lady lowered her voice, fearing that people around her might hear what she was saying.
"As for you, it's better to find outsiders to do the work than to find your own brothers. After all, we are all family and we know each other well. It's so reassuring!" said the old lady earnestly.
Then she added, "Look, the eldest and second sons really want to come and work for you, and they even asked me to come and tell you."
However, the third brother had a clear mind and knew the characters of his eldest and second brothers very well.
Getting them to work is harder than climbing to the sky, it's like asking them to die.
The third brother thought to himself, I paid for help, not to hire a master.
After these two come, they definitely won't work hard, and being lazy and slacking off will be the norm.
There is really nothing you can believe in what my mother says.
What’s even more infuriating is that they will definitely rely on their relationship with me and not be afraid of being driven away at all.
They must think that as long as they come here, they will be taken care of for the rest of their lives. This is simply a fantasy!
Therefore, this job must never be given to them.
If it's someone else who doesn't do their job well, the worst that can happen is that they'll just be fired.
But if it's a relative, the situation is completely different.
Even if they didn't do their job well, I would be too embarrassed to say it directly.
If I forcefully drive them away, people will definitely talk behind my back, so it's better to just reject them now.
Thinking of this, the third brother felt more and more that he must think of a good way to make the old lady completely give up this idea.
"Mom, you see, there are already enough people helping us now. We don't need any more people, so please go back." The third son said to the old lady helplessly.
However, how could the old lady agree so easily?
"Then let two of these helpers go and make room for your two brothers. This way they can also make some money."
"It doesn't matter who makes the money. Wouldn't it be better for your two brothers to make it? We are all family, and we should help each other when we encounter difficulties."
"Whose family has never fallen on hard times? Maybe if you are kind now, you will be rewarded in the future." The old lady advised earnestly.
But the third brother knew very well that this so-called "kindness" also depends on how it is expressed.
His two brothers are simply ungrateful people. Asking them to come in to help is like inviting a wolf into the house, which will definitely not lead to any good results.
They are the kind of people who only know how to take money but are unwilling to work.
Not only that, they are always self-righteous. Based on our understanding of them and relying on the fact that they are relatives, they will point fingers at others. Such people must never be allowed to come!
"Mom, the help here is all hard work, and my eldest and second brothers can't do it at all!"
When the old lady heard this, her mouth immediately deflated and she couldn't help feeling a little unhappy.
She thought to herself: They are all your brothers, so what's wrong with giving them some easier jobs?
However, although the old lady thought so in her heart, she couldn't say it out loud.
After all, the most important thing now is to get the third brother to agree to let his two older brothers come to help and get them in first.
So the old lady hurriedly said, "They will do whatever you ask them to do. If they are not satisfied with anything, just let them come back."
"Why don't you use them for three days first? You can't not even give them a chance, right?"
"If it really doesn't work out, just pay them the wages for these three days, and we won't have any complaints."
The third brother was so reluctant, he didn't want to get into trouble at all!
"Mom, how can my eldest and second brothers handle such heavy work! Please don't delay me from working. Besides, what will you do with your acres of land when they come?" The third brother explained to the old lady anxiously.
But the old lady refused to listen. No matter what the third son said, she insisted on letting the two men do the work.
The third brother became more and more annoyed when he saw that he couldn't convince the old lady.
"How about this, Third Brother? Let them try out the work for three days. If they are not satisfied, you don't have to pay them a penny. As for the land at home, let the eldest and second sisters-in-law take care of it. They will definitely be able to take care of it."
The old lady had no choice but to come up with this solution.
When the third brother heard this, he thought this proposal was quite reasonable. If he didn't agree, there seemed to be no other way, so he nodded and said, "Okay, let them try the job for three days."
He thought to himself: "It's only three days. I can just find a reason to send them away. My mother said I don't have to pay her. It has nothing to do with me."
"And judging from their appearance, they probably can't even last three days. They might be too tired to even stand up straight and sneak away."
"Okay, then it's settled!"
Seeing that her goal had finally been achieved, the old lady happily turned around and went back to tell them the good news.
The eldest and second sons frowned after hearing this. "This is just working for others for nothing. Mom, what are you thinking?"
The old lady made this suggestion with joy, thinking that they would accept it with pleasure, but she did not expect that they would respond so coldly.
This was like a blow to the head, instantly extinguishing her enthusiasm.
Really ignorant.
"I'm doing this for your own good!" the old lady said angrily, "where can you find a job that can make money in this world?"
"You should be thankful that someone is willing to pay you! Nowadays, there are many people who work without getting paid!"
"I have gone to great lengths to finally get the Third Brother to give in, but you guys are so ungrateful that you don't even appreciate it. Aren't you going to piss me off to death?"
The eldest and second sons were still somewhat reluctant upon seeing this, but seeing their mother holding her chest with her hands, frowning, and looking like she was about to faint from anger, they really couldn't bear to continue disobeying her wishes.
"Okay, Mom, we got it. We'll go tomorrow." The two responded reluctantly.
When the old lady heard this, she immediately changed into a different person. She sat up straight with a snap, and the gloom on her face was instantly swept away. "That's right! I should have said it earlier, and I wouldn't have had to go through so much trouble!"
The eldest and second oldest were no longer surprised by her behavior; after all, they were used to her various behaviors.
The next morning, the eldest and second brother got up early, packed up simply and went to the third brother's fields together.
