Chapter 180 Liu Xianglan got off easy.
Grandma Feng glanced at it indifferently...
The cardboard signs were bought by Sweetie from the system.
This kind of cardboard is something that doesn't exist in this era, so there's no fear of anyone copying it.
Tian Tian printed a cherry pattern on one corner of the cardboard.
The stamp Zhang Fusheng gave to everyone was a dolphin design.
These two types of seals were also purchased from the system; they don't exist in this era.
"What is this?" Old Mrs. Feng took it, turning it over and over, but still couldn't understand it.
In her eyes, it was just a board that looked almost the same color as chicken droppings.
It's still hard to tell if it's wood or bamboo...
What good could a board possibly do?
"Mother! This is..." Liu Xianglan excitedly told Old Lady Feng, "It's the receipt for Tian Tian's hired worker."
"With this certificate, I can work on her land, and the daily wage is..."
"One hundred coins!!" Liu Xianglan exclaimed dramatically.
Outside the door, Zhao Jinhua, who had followed them to the Feng family's door, covered her mouth in surprise.
One hundred coins a day?
The wages are so high?
"So many?!" Old Mrs. Feng exclaimed in surprise, standing up.
She couldn't help but examine the board in her hand closely, but couldn't see anything wrong with it. "Can I start working with this?"
"So you can earn a hundred coins a day?"
Liu Xianglan nodded affirmatively, "Yes."
Upon hearing this, Old Lady Feng retorted, "Then why didn't you bring back more?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Xianglan pouted, "Mother, there's only one. I've been very careful. If Tian Tian sees it, there won't be any left."
"Well... let my husband go."
Grandma Feng clicked her tongue, "What do you need Wu and Liu to do with this? You brought it back, so of course you should do it."
“But…Mother…” Liu Xianglan was stunned, “My husband…”
“He was bitten by a monkey before, and he hasn’t fully recovered yet. How can he work?” said Grandma Feng.
Liu Xianglan couldn't help but frown. Being bitten by a monkey? That happened last year. How could it still be healed after a year?
Besides, Feng Wuliu goes to the county to gamble every few days, why doesn't she stop him?
"You go then. It's a hundred coins a day. It would be a shame not to go." Old Mrs. Feng handed the board back to Liu Xianglan.
Liu Xianglan knew she couldn't win an argument with Old Lady Feng.
She looked at the board in her hand...
One hundred coins a day! It would be a real shame not to go.
Grandma Feng glanced at Liu Xianglan and asked, "How many people did they hire?"
Liu Xianglan: "About a few dozen people..."
There were probably more than that; dozens of people were waiting for her when she left.
"There are dozens of people..." Old Mrs. Feng, who thought herself clever, reminded Liu Xianglan, "If a few of them slack off, they won't know."
Liu Xianglan suddenly realized, "Yes, with so many people working together, who knows how much each person did?"
She just went to... deal with it, just go through the motions...
Then just follow everyone else and collect the silver.
Actually... it's good that she's doing this job; she can keep the money she earns herself and prevent Feng Wuliu from using it for gambling.
Thinking of this, Liu Xianglan put the board away. "Alright, I'll go to work tomorrow."
Outside, Zhao Jinhua hurriedly left.
"One hundred coins a day?"
"That Liu Xianglan got off too well!!"
She was indignant, but there was nothing she could do.
Even if she rushes to Baishi County now, she won't make it in time.
but...
Zhao Jinhua suddenly slowed her pace...
There shouldn't be any names written on that board, right?
Otherwise, Liu Xianglan wouldn't have sent Feng Wuliu...
Since she can let Feng Wuliu go, can't she also let herself go?
Thinking of this...
Zhao Jinhua quickened her pace, returned home, and found her husband, Guo Da.
At night... two figures emerged from Zhao Jinhua's house...
The next day, Liu Xianglan got up early, dressed, and put on her headscarf.
I only remembered the photo booth when I was about to leave.
She went to the bedside and wiped under the pillow...
No? !
She found the clothes she had changed out of yesterday...
I checked my pockets...nothing!
I reached into my pocket...nothing!
I checked my sleeve... but there was nothing there!
"What happened?" she exclaimed and ran out.
"Mom, where's my...my brand?"
Liu Xianglan went to rummage through the bed again.
She remembered that she had put the sign under her pillow.
how come...
"Mother..." she called out again, looking up.
Over there, Old Mrs. Feng slowly came out, "What are you shouting for? So early in the morning."
She glanced at Liu Xianglan; after the rice harvest, there was nothing left to do in the fields.
It's so cold outside, what mother-in-law would get up so early?
"Mother, where's my... badge? The one I got from Lu Tao's house?" Liu Xianglan continued searching.
But no matter how hard she looked... she couldn't find it.
Without that sign, she can't go to work in the fields.
One hundred coins a day!
"I definitely put it under my pillow, but it's not there..."
"It wasn't in the clothes I changed out of yesterday either..."
Grandma Feng refused to believe it. "How could it just disappear like that? You must have just left it lying around!"
"Look again carefully."
As she spoke, she casually lifted the blankets on the bed.
He looked down under the bed again...
No, there really isn't!
"What are we going to do? This is a hundred coins' worth of wages!!"
Grandma Feng was getting anxious and stomped her feet in anger.
Finally, she grabbed Liu Xianglan's ear and said, "I'm telling you, you lost it, and you have to find a way to get it back."
"This job has to be done."
"If you can't do it, you'll have to pay me back the money."
Liu Xianglan placed her hand on Old Lady Feng's hand, but dared not exert any force. "I know, Mother, I know."
He said that, but he was actually unconvinced.
This is the job she registered for, and the job she's going to do.
If she doesn't do it, she won't get paid.
But now that the things are lost, Old Lady Feng is actually demanding compensation from her! What kind of logic is that?!
Can...
She was resentful, but dared not say it aloud.
We can only think of ways to solve this.
"It must be... someone found out about the work and stole my signboard!!" Liu Xianglan felt that this was the only possibility.
After all... how could something disappear if it was at home?
Her eyes darted around. This person stole her name tag, either... because they didn't want her to work, or... because they wanted to take her place at work.
If it's the latter...
Then she went to wait outside the Qian family estate. She wanted to see who had taken her nameplate and replaced her!
If it's the former, she can go talk to Uncle Zhang and see if he can replace the plaque.
"Mom, I'm going to the county!!"
Grandma Feng: "What are you going to do if you don't have a license plate? You might as well stay home and do laundry and cook."
