The two of them quickly weighed the cabbage that Fourth Uncle Lin’s wife had brought over.
“The total is 52.6 catties, so 53 catties.” The person in charge of paying the bill said.
“This is 53 wen.” As he spoke, he took out 53 wen and gave them to Fourth Uncle Lin’s wife.
To increase efficiency, they prepared copper coins in advance.
There was a piece of paper between every ten as a barrier, making it very convenient to count.
“Thank you, Mr. w.a.n.g!” Fourth Uncle Lin’s wife quickly thanked him.
Then, she took the copper coins to the side and counted them.
After confirming that they were correct, she happily put the copper coins into the money bag.
Then, she carefully put the money bag into her pocket.
She carried the empty basket on her shoulder.
Then, a hint of hesitation flashed across her face as she walked over again.
At this time, no one came to sell cabbages. Mr. w.a.n.g, who was in charge of settlement, began to sort out the copper coins again.
Seeing Fourth Uncle Lin’s wife come over, Mr. w.a.n.g looked puzzled.
“What, is the amount wrong?” He asked Fourth Uncle Lin’s wife.
Fourth Uncle Lin’s wife’s face instantly turned red.
“No-no, it’s right!” She quickly said.
Rubbing her hands together, she was so nervous that she couldn’t speak properly.
“Then, what is it?” Seeing this, Mr. w.a.n.g’s expression softened.
He came here to take charge and interact with many villagers.
Perhaps it was because he was literate, and he dressed a little different from them, many villagers were a little afraid of him.
In addition, some of them were dishonest. After being reprimanded by him, the villagers were even more afraid of him.
However, he was actually willing to be more patient with the simple villagers.
“1-1 wanted to ask you if the workshop is still hiring?” Fourth Uncle Lin’s wife said to Mr. w.a.n.g with a red face.
Mr. w.a.n.g paused.
Then, a smile appeared on his face.
“I’m not in charge of recruitment. Go over there,” Mr. w.a.n.g said as he pointed in a direction.
“Go over there and take a look. If they’re recruiting, they’ll post an announcement.”
Fourth Uncle Lin’s wife blushed even more.
“But… I can’t read,” she said nervously.
Mr. w.a.n.g was stunned.
He looked at his two a.s.sistants who were helping him weigh the weight.
Seeing that no villagers were sending cabbages over for the time being, he spoke to one of his juniors.
“w.a.n.g Hua, why don’t you take this lady there? By the way, can you help me ask if our workshop is still hiring?”
“Deal! I’ll bring you there!” w.a.n.g Hua readily agreed.
“Thank you! Thank you, Mr. w.a.n.g. Thank you!” Fourth Uncle Lin’s wife quickly thanked him.
Mr. w.a.n.g and w.a.n.g Hua smiled and told Fourth Uncle Lin’s wife not to be so polite.
Then, Fourth Uncle Lin’s wife followed w.a.n.g Hua to the recruitment office.
When she arrived, she realized that the notice on the spot where the notice was originally posted had been torn apart.
w.a.n.g Hua knew that the positions had been fully filled.
However, seeing Fourth Uncle Lin’s wife’s expectant look, w.a.n.g Hua was too embarra.s.sed to tell her the situation.
After hesitating for a moment, w.a.n.g Hua decided to help her.
“The notice has been torn. Maybe it’s already full. But don’t be anxious. i’ll go in and ask around for you.” w.a.n.g Hua said.
Fourth Uncle Lin’s wife quickly thanked him.
“Thank you so much!” Her face was filled with grat.i.tude.
This expression made w.a.n.g Hua even more willing to help.
“You’re welcome.” After saying that, w.a.n.g Hwa went in.
Not long after, w.a.n.g Hua came out again with a happy expression on his face.
“Come with me quickly!” He smiled and waved at Fourth Uncle Lin’s wife.
“Yes!” Fourth Uncle Lin’s wife responded and quickly walked over.
Then, w.a.n.g Hua brought Fourth Uncle Lin’s wife inside. As they walked, he told her the situation.
They originally had enough manpower. However, due to the recent increase in the number of cabbages received by the workshop, in order to increase production, the workshop had just decided to add a few female workers to wash the vegetables.
w.a.n.g Hua told her before the new notice was posted.
After entering a small room, Fourth Uncle Lin’s wife saw the person in charge of recruitment.
There were three people inside, and she knew two of them.
Among the two people he knew, one of them was from the village, and the other was one of the owners of the workshop, Zhou Shi.
Seeing these two people, Fourth Uncle Lin’s wife subconsciously lowered her head a little, not wanting to be recognized by the two.
But what was the use? They lived in the same village, how could they not know each other?
Even Zhou Shi recognized Fourth Lin’s wife..
