Chapter 65: Trust
If Duan Yixin really has a lot of money, then it will be easier for Sun Dagou to handle the work since he doesn’t need to worry about money for the construction.
Sun Dagou was silent for a moment before saying, "Usually, workers’ daily salary is ten copper coins without a meal. Since you agree to provide one meal, we will pay the workers six copper coins per day. What do you think of this arrangement, Xin Niang?"
"Let’s just do what Uncle said. Uncle Sun, I will leave some money for you, and you can use this money to pay the workers. If you run out of money, you can come to me, and I will give you more." Duan Yixin said after pondering for a moment.
Hearing what she said, Sun Dagou looked at her thoughtfully. He didn’t know why she trusted him and his family so much, but he was grateful for her trust. It will be very difficult to work for someone who doesn’t trust him.
After Duan Yixin and Sun Dagou discussed the details, she took out her money pouch. Duan Yixin took out a silver ingot from the money pouch and placed it on the table, "Uncle Sun, here are ten taels of silver. You can use this money to buy materials and hire workers."
The moment she took out the silver ingot, the three people in the Sun family gasped at the same time. After living for fifty-eight years, Sun Dagou saw silver ingots for the first time in his life. Usually, villagers like them only use copper coins or broken silver pieces in their daily lives. They had only heard about the whole piece of silver ingot but had never seen it before.
Seeing their surprised faces, Duan Yixin thought for a moment and said, "My grandfather left me some money before he passed away."
Seeing that the three of them believed her excuse, Duan Yixin took out a string of copper coins and put them on the table.
She looked at Xue Mei and said, "Sister-in-law, you can use this money to buy cooking ingredients. As for the workers’ wages, they will be paid with the money I left to Uncle Sun."
