Transmigrating To The Ancient Times With Lu's Convenience

Chapter 82

After making up her mind, Granny Shen directly hired some people from the village and offered them 30 cents per day.

Quite a few villagers had a big family, they could afford to work for Granny Shen without delaying their own autumn harvest.

"Granny Shen, the crops in your field can use a few more days!"

Granny Shen nodded and said, "Yes, I know what you mean! However, if there is a heavy rain, it will ruin everything."

"Yeah! It will be ideal to harvest them in a few days, but as you said just now, the weather is a bit unpredictable, it makes more sense to just get on top of it."

Granny Shen smiled. She also wanted to wait for a few days, but the villagers would get busy by then, it would be hard for her to hire help or borrow tools.

The people hired by Granny Shen were hardworking and honest. No one slacked off.

They all thought that Granny Shen was different from before. The Shen family used to be poor, and Granny Shen would just go to work in the field before dawn and come home after dark with her little grandson, she had never hired anyone, but now she hired several workers.

They did some rough calculation, and they all thought Granny Shen might not be able to earn much money from this harvest, she needed to pay their wages and agricultural tax in grain.

Many villagers knew that many dolls in the commercial house were made by Granny Shen. The villagers guessed that Granny Shen had made a lot of money, so they didn't care about the cost of hiring help. Some people thought that Granny Shen just became less stingy after Chen Xiao Cai and Shen Chi were engaged, because she didn't need to worry about her grandson in the future.

"Granny Shen, where is Shen Chi? I haven't seen him for a while!"

Granny Shen worked in the field for a while, then she came back home to prepare lunch. Some workers' wives offered to help her.

Granny Shen smiled and said, "Chi? Chi and some coworkers travelled to some other town to do business."

The women gazed at each other in surprise. "Travelled to some other town? Shen Chi is so young, but he is already travelling and going for business trips!"

Granny Shen smiled and said, "He's just messing around."

Willow Town was a long journey from them. Granny Shen had once followed the delivery team to visit the branch there. Although it was a little smaller, it was also perfect and well-organized. Granny Shen felt relieved immediately after she visited the store, she knew her grandson was in good hands.

"You are so modest! Shen Chi soon will become a big shot. Granny, you just need to enjoy your blessings in the future."

Granny Shen smiled and said, " Enjoy my blessings? You are so sweet."

"I'm just saying the truth, Chi will definitely take good care of you in the future!"

"Granny Shen, you have five mus of land now. You're now living in town, it's not easy for you to take care of your field!"

Granny Shen nodded and said, "Yeah, I've been thinking the same thing! So, I want to rent some land out."

Granny Shen was also worried recently. She had always been in the town. She always thought what if some bad people pulled out her seedlings while she was away, she wouldn't be able to find out in time.

She couldn't weed, fertilize or water the crops in time now that she lived in town.

It was Lu Lin's idea to rent out some field, Granny Shen initially was reluctant to part with her land. However, it didn't take her a long time to think it through, Lu Lin had a point.
