Chapter 360 Inspection (2)
While Aunt Wang was calling the Huang family, Ji Xiaomu and Fang Chen went to see other potato fields. They saw that other people's potatoes were growing as well as Aunt Wang's, proving that they were all being well taken care of.
When Ji Xiaomu and Fang Chen came back, Aunt Wang had already brought the Huang family over. Wow, the whole family was there, almost ten people, and they were arguing with Aunt Wang about something.
"Boss, this is the Huang family." When Aunt Wang saw Ji Xiaomu coming, she was too lazy to say anything more to the Huang family and went to greet them.
"Boss." The old man of the Huang family walked up to Ji Xiaomu and called out to her with disapproval.
"Am I treated badly here?" Ji Xiaomu did not challenge the Huang family's attitude, she just asked.
Old Huang was stunned, remembering that the wages given by Ji Xiaowu were what his family could only earn after working non-stop for a year, and he immediately shook his head. "The boss is very good."
"Is this the work I get paid for?" Mother Ji pointed at the fields that the Huang family was in charge of. The fields were dry and the soil had lost all water and turned into mud and sand, which crumbled if squeezed.
"Boss, listen to me, this is how you should water it..." Old Huang was still taking advantage of his seniority and was ready to explain his ideas to Ji Xiaomu. He believed that his way of watering was the correct one.
"Have you planted it before?" Ji Xiaomu raised her eyebrows.
"No, but they are not all..." Old Huang wanted to quibble.
"I told you when I hired you how to grow this thing. Although you don't need to water it every day, you must ensure that the soil is slightly moist..." said Ji Xiaomu lightly.
"Yes..." In fact, Old Huang didn't listen to what Ji Xiaomu said at that time. He just thought that the wages were easy to get.
"So you don't take my words seriously at all. Are you treating it as your own crops?" Ji Xiaou glanced at Old Huangtou. Old Huangtou suddenly felt that he had underestimated his boss and didn't take her words seriously because he was young.
"Boss, my father is doing this for your own good..." Seeing that Old Huang was at a disadvantage, the Huang family members immediately stepped forward and interrupted.
"Who are you?" Ji Xiaou glanced at the person who was speaking. He looked quite young, about the same age as Old Huangtou, and should be one of Old Huangtou's sons.
"Boss, this is my son." Old Huang stopped his son, fearing that he would offend the boss.
"How many people have I employed in your Huang family?" asked Ji Xiaomu.
"Three people." Old Huang said carefully.
"Well. Aunt Wang, please help me ask if there are any other families in need in the village. I need to hire three people." Aunt Ji said to Aunt Wang beside her.
Aunt Wang was stunned for a moment, then she understood what Ji Xiaowu meant and nodded without saying anything. "Boss, the Wu family at the head of the village only has a half-grown kid and his grandfather. He can do it. He often comes to help me water and fertilize. This kid is really serious."
"There's also the cattle hunter at the end of the village. His family can also do it."
"Also, the widow Liu's house in the village is also fine."
"Boss, what do you mean?" Old Huang's heart skipped a beat and he asked in panic.
"You don't cherish this job. I believe there will be other people who need it more than you and are more serious about it. I will still give you this month's salary, but you don't have to come tomorrow." Ji Xiaomu said directly.
"Boss, please don't fire us. We will work hard. Please give us another chance." Old Huang almost knelt down and begged.
"Do you know that the food you grow now may very well be the foundation of our survival in the future? You are an old man too. Haven't you experienced the tragic situation of widespread misery when there is a food shortage?" Mother Ji looked at Old Huang, who lowered his head in shame.
