Chapter 479: Meeting (1)_1
Aunt Tong’s family of three found it a bit difficult to manage the orchard on regular days, and now, with over a thousand chickens suddenly being raised in the orchard, six hands were definitely not enough to take care of everything.
Most of the released chickens were egg-laying hens, and Mo Yan certainly didn’t want to waste these hens by not taking good care of them and causing them not to lay eggs, so she asked four well-regarded elderly ladies from the village to feed them.
All four ladies were around forty-five years old, each already grandmothers, with sufficient labor at home and no need to toil in the fields themselves. Usually, they took care of household chores and looked after the children, so they had quite a bit of spare time. Now, by feeding the chickens and collecting eggs for the Mo Family, sweeping the chicken coop, they could earn four hundred wen of labor money each month. Such a great opportunity made them extremely happy. They hurriedly accepted the offer, fearing that if they were too slow, Mo Yan might find someone else.
Other elderly ladies in the village became envious when they heard about it, and they indirectly approached Aunt Cai, Mrs. Zhou, and Xiong’s, who were on good terms with the Mo Family, expressing a desire to help at the chicken farm and asking them to see if the Mo Family was still looking for workers.
Being fellow villagers, Aunt Cai and the others did not want to refuse such a matter, so they went to the Mo Family to inquire. However, they didn’t make demands, leveraging the relationships between their families, to pressure Mo Yan to agree to anything.
Mo Yan understood the thoughts of these ladies. Although the chicken farm did not need so many people, she still declined politely, saying that if the farm did well and there were plans to expand breeding in the future, they would hire more helpers.
