Chapter 638: Chapter 639 This is not Fake Money_1 Chapter 638: Chapter 639 This is not Fake Money_1 The old lady felt a bit embarrassed and waved her hand, “Miss, you gave too much.”
Meng Yunhan laughed and said, “It’s not too much. There are many people here, and we need someone to cook. Perhaps, you could introduce someone, the pay will be the same.”
It is said that a widow is often the object of gossip. Liu Hehua, with her young son, never remarried. Her parents viewed her as a jinx on husbands, and her in-laws saw her as a curse.
She raised her son alone, survived many famines, and it was only last year when her son Li Dazhuang had grown up that she managed to repay all the debts from the famines.
However, she heard a few days ago that the land she had planted was being taken over by others. Thinking about all those crops, wasn’t this a disaster?
What would she and her son eat this year?
She heard from the village head that they were going to set up a factory, so she decided to take advantage of this situation and try to place her son at the factory.
If her son became a worker, he would soon be able to find a wife. Her nieces were already holding their grandchildren, yet she didn’t even know who her daughter-in-law would be.
The girl seemed quite reasonable, which made her feel a bit guilty.
“Thank you, miss, thank you.” Tears came to Liu Hehua’s eyes with excitement. While wiping away her tears, she expressed her gratitude.
“Dazhuang, aren’t you going to thank the miss?”
Meng Yunhan immediately stopped her, “Old lady, let’s start working tomorrow. I have paid you for the cement and now I’ll calculate the seedling fees for you.”
“Miss, there’s no rush. Just a little for the seeds will be enough for the seedling fee.” The old lady hadn’t expected her son to get a job at the factory and to receive her own salary. She hardly cared about the seedling fee anymore.
Meng Yunhan went to pay for the cement first.
She agreed on the approximate timing of the next cement delivery before bidding them farewell.
When Meng Yunhan was handling this matter, Yun Hao helped them construct a simple shelter.
Dazhuang was also pushed by his mother to help.
“Madam, how much land is in this area? One acre of wheat can yield 400 kilograms of wheat.”
Liu Hehua promptly said, “Miss, you can just give me twenty yuan for the wheat seeds.”
“That won’t do, I said I’d pay the seedling fee, so I will. You working in my factory is a separate matter.”
“Three acres.”
Meng Yunhan started to calculate, “There are more than two months left before the wheat can be harvested. Three acres of wheat can yield more than one tonne of wheat, which can be processed into 800 kilograms of flour. One kilogram of flour is fifteen cents, so that’s one hundred and twenty yuan. But since the harvest is still two months away, I’ll give you one hundred yuan.”
She had to be clear about every penny and couldn’t take advantage of others. Of course, she wasn’t rich, so she would only give what was due. She couldn’t overpay either.
“That works.”
Meng Yunhan directly pulled out a hundred-yuan note and handed it to Liu Hehua.
This was the first time Liu Hehua had seen a hundred-yuan note. Even if her son were surrounded by grandchildren, she would never forget that day when her life changed, her circumstances improved, and she became the envy of the villagers.
“I’ve never seen this money before.” Liu Hehua was telling the truth, she really hadn’t seen it before.
Meng Yunhan didn’t look down on her. Everyone was equal. Just because she had some money didn’t mean she was superior in any way.
“This is a hundred yuan note. The highest denomination before was only ten yuan. This bill was just issued recently. Look here at the date and the person in the portrait, you should recognize him. You can rest assured, this is not counterfeit money.”
How could Liu Hehua not recognize the face on the bill? It was a very familiar one.
