Chapter 584 Paying wages
Nier blinked her big eyes and looked at her father with curiosity, "Daddy, who dug this out?"
Daddy smiled, patted Nier's little head, and answered cheerfully: "It was the helper named Heizi. He said he dug it up in our field, so it should belong to us."
"I told him that we should each take half, but he refused to take it. He is such a kind-hearted man, such an honest person!"
After listening to her father's words, Ni'er nodded repeatedly, secretly thinking that she had a good vision.
"I told you that Uncle Heizi looks like a good guy, and I was right!"
The news immediately reached the ears of the neighbors.
"The wasteland that the third brother's family just bought can actually grow silver? This is really a rare thing!"
Another person immediately retorted: "Stop talking nonsense. Where can silver grow in the ground? You must be dreaming!"
However, the man who spoke earlier did not take it seriously and continued, "I am not talking nonsense. When they were reclaiming the wasteland, they actually dug up silver, and it was three taels of silver!"
"Really?" someone asked suspiciously, as if doubting the authenticity of the news.
"Of course it's true!" the other person answered decisively, "More than 20 of their helpers saw it with their own eyes!"
"That's amazing!" someone exclaimed, with a hint of excitement in his eyes, "Why don't we go and help dig? Maybe we can dig out some treasures!"
"Haha, you are so thoughtful, really..."
The other person smiled and shook his head, "How did you say that?"
"Everyone knows Sima Zhao's intention!" someone quickly responded with a sly smile on his face.
"Yes, that's it!" another person shouted excitedly.
As soon as the news came out, many people began to show great interest in this wasteland, and some people even came to the door and expressed their willingness to reclaim the land for free.
What Nier didn't expect was that there were so many people willing to dig, and she couldn't refuse or stop them.
Looking at the people working hard on the wasteland, Nier was secretly delighted.
The original plan was to reclaim the land in about two months, but now with the help of so many people, the reclamation speed has increased a lot.
Nier silently calculated in her heart that if she continued at the current pace, it would only take about a month to reclaim all the wasteland.
She knew very well that those who came for the money were actually those who were looking for a bargain.
For people like this, it's no big deal if they suffer a little loss.
After all, they didn't really want to help.
And those who are truly hardworking and willing to work deserve more rewards.
They have put in effort and sweat, and they deserve corresponding rewards.
These people not only do their work seriously, but are also extremely efficient.
After all the land was turned over, Nier secretly thought that in addition to paying the workers the wages they deserved as agreed, she also planned to give them some extra rewards.
After all, returning lost property to its rightful owners is a very rare quality.
When these helpers saw others coming to take their jobs, they did not chase them away.
Instead, they just do their own job honestly. This behavior is really rare and deserves special rewards.
Time flies quickly. In a blink of an eye, a month has passed and all the wasteland of Ni'er's family has been reclaimed.
Looking at this once barren land that has now become fertile and full of vitality, Nier's heart is filled with a sense of accomplishment and joy.
On the day of settling wages, Nier specially prepared several pieces of red cloth and carefully wrapped the money to be given to the helpers.
She handed the red cloth bags to the helpers one by one and said with a smile, "This is the money we agreed on before, five cents per person per day."
"You have worked so hard during this period. Without you, this wasteland would not have been reclaimed so quickly."
These people's eyes lit up as they weighed the heavy bags of money in their hands.
In this difficult world, finding a job is not an easy thing, let alone finding a good job that can make money.
And now, not only have they found such good jobs, but the Dong family is also so kind, which makes everyone feel like they have won the jackpot.
This is undoubtedly the happiest moment in these days.
"Thank you, boss!" everyone said in unison.
"If you have any work to do in the future, just tell us and we will complete it carefully and conscientiously!"
Nier smiled and nodded, and said gently: "If there is work, I will come to you next time."
Before she finished speaking, she took out a few exquisite purses and handed them to each person.
The purse looks bulging, obviously it contains a lot of things.
It also feels very heavy in my hand, almost the same weight as the wages I just received.
These people were stunned. They simply couldn't believe their eyes.
The wages are already higher than others, and being able to receive them on time is already a very lucky thing, so why would the employer give so much extra money?
These people looked at each other, and could see deep disbelief in each other's eyes.
"Boss, this is too much. We only take what we should take. We really can't take this!" one of them said.
Others echoed this, saying that they could not accept the money.
However, Nier did not hesitate to push back all the hands that were stretched out to return the money.
"Take it." Her tone was firm but gentle. "Do you know why I give you this money?"
There was a look of confusion in everyone's eyes.
"First of all, you guys did a really great job."
Then, Nier paused for a moment, as if thinking about how to express her next point.
Then, he continued, “Secondly, you know the rules very well.”
"When you found the money in my fields, you chose to return it to us without hesitation, an act of honesty and integrity that I admire deeply."
"The third reason is that each of you can get five cents a day."
"Even if other people came here to dig, you did not conflict with them, but just did your job quietly."
"This is very commendable! So this money is what you deserve, just take it with confidence!"
Hearing this, the helpers were so happy that they couldn't stop smiling.
