Chapter 329 This is going to kill him.
Many people came to the recruitment site.
However, not all of these people came to apply for the job sincerely, and there were some people with ulterior motives among them.
When they learned that the mine was not only hiring patrolmen but also dividing the mine into two shifts, day and night, they became very upset.
The mine is so cautious, it would not be easy for them to sneak in and do something.
Wang Ada didn't know what these people were thinking at this time. He and his neighbors were anxious to collect the money, so they quickly left Meishan.
On the way to collect the money, Wang Ada was always nervous, fearing that he would not get the money.
He didn't feel completely relieved until they found the place and exchanged the IOU for copper coins.
The neighbor on the road also asked someone to help check the IOU to prevent fraud.
Facts proved that their worries were unnecessary. Not only did the other party not cheat, but they did not even deduct a single copper coin from the agreed 1,800 coins.
When Wang Ada returned home with Doctor Xu, carrying the heavy copper coins in his pocket, he still had a very strong sense of unreality.
He was a disabled person, but now he not only found a stable job, but the other party also advanced him 30 days' wages.
He also had a bowl of tofu and meat soup which was very delicious!
Even though there was only one piece of meat in the bowl, it was still meat! And it was big, white, fat meat!
Unfortunately, each person can only get one bowl and cannot take it away.
Otherwise, he would definitely bring it back and let his wife have a taste.
After savoring the taste of the bowl of broth, Wang Ada led the doctor to the bedroom.
Doctor Xu was familiar with him and was a very nice person. Wang Ada still owed him a lot of money for medicine.
Even with the advance on his wages this time, he still couldn't pay off his debts.
However, with the work in the mine, his life finally has some purpose.
Even though he still owes a lot of foreign debt, Wang Ada no longer has to worry about being unable to repay it.
Because his neighbor had borrowed 1,800 coins, he originally planned to pay the doctor 2,000 coins first.
Not wanting the other party to know that he had found a patrol job in Coal Hill, he only charged him a hundred coins, telling him to use the money to take care of his wife first, and to pay the rest back later.
Wang Ada was extremely grateful and kept this in mind, vowing to repay the other party's kindness in the future.
When they entered the bedroom, his wife Li saw them and immediately struggled to get up.
Wang Ada rushed over and held her down, asking Doctor Xu to take her pulse and prescribe medicine.
Doctor Xu looked at the family's difficult situation, sighed secretly in his heart, carefully felt Li's pulse, and then breathed a sigh of relief.
"The situation isn't serious. I'll prescribe some medicine first. Take the prescription and get it immediately. I'll give her acupuncture to reduce her fever."
Wang Ada nodded quickly, waited for Doctor Xu to write a prescription, and immediately ran to get the medicine.
When I came back, I saw that Li had acupuncture needles on her body. She looked better, so she must not be feeling so bad anymore.
After he hurriedly boiled the medicine, Doctor Xu put away the needle and prepared to leave.
"This time the total is one hundred coins. I'll put it on your account and give it to you when you have more money."
After hearing this, Wang Ada was so moved that he wanted to kneel down in front of him.
Doctor Xu stopped him and said, "Take good care of your wife. She has been overworked over the years and has damaged her health. Even a minor illness could have nearly cost her life.
Now that you have found a job, let her eat some good food to replenish her body, and don't work as hard as before."
"I know she's suffered so much with me, I definitely can't treat her unfairly!
When she gets better, I'll ask the mine if they're hiring.
The mine always needs people to cook and clean, and if she can find a light job, it doesn't matter if she earns less.
The mine will also provide accommodation. If we can all work there, we can live there together and rent out the house here."
Doctor Xu was surprised to hear him say this: "Is the mine really so generous?"
Wang Ada nodded and said, "It is said that the owner is kind. The owner there is the eldest princess, so she is very generous.
We're hiring today, and everyone who shows up will get a big bowl of tofu and meat soup, and everyone will get a big piece of fat meat!"
Doctor Xu smiled and said, "That sounds good. Since it's the eldest princess's property, I don't think there will be any major problems. It seems you are lucky."
Wang Ada smiled embarrassedly, his heart full of hope for the future.
After sending Doctor Xu away, he fed Li some medicine. Li asked him about the mine's recruitment, frowning and feeling a little uneasy: "The mine is so generous, can we make money? Will we lose money?"
The more she thought about it, the more uneasy she became. "What if I lose money and they refuse to be so generous anymore?"
After hearing what she said, Wang Ada also became worried.
But after thinking it over carefully, he came to his senses again: "She is the eldest princess after all. Even if her words don't carry nine tripods, they should still carry six tripods. She can't just go back on her word, right?"
"Oh, I really hope Her Royal Highness the Princess can earn more money and run this mine for a long time."
After saying this, she clasped her hands together and bowed devoutly.
Similar scenes occurred in other homes.
Many people are happy that the mine owner is generous, but at the same time they are worried that the mine will lose money and such a good thing cannot continue.
Not only are they worried, but others are worried too.
After hearing the news, Luo Hongwang shook his head helplessly: "Young and energetic, I have no choice."
He felt that Xie Xiu was really confused and didn't know how difficult it was to make money.
He also felt that Xie Xiu might not be unaware of this, but his words were not influential enough for him to go against the eldest princess's wishes, so he could only bow his head.
No matter what, he couldn't help but worry about Xie Xiu.
If things continue like this, the mine will become a charity. How can it make money? It's good enough if it doesn't lose money!
After sighing, he couldn't help but feel relieved.
After the Xie family was captured, the Luo family members were afraid that the knife would fall on them, so they didn't dare to stay in the capital for long.
It’s a good thing they weren’t here, otherwise they would have made a fuss again after hearing such news.
Thinking of those useless tribesmen, Luo Hongwang became even more worried.
On the other side, the Zhu family's steward and shopkeeper were also shaking their heads.
"That's too generous. That's not how you do business."
"After all, the eldest princess is of noble status, born in a wealthy family, how could she understand the hardships of doing business?
Mr. Xie has lived in the countryside for many years and probably is not good at business.
They must have received a lot of money from investment recently, so it is inevitable that they spend money lavishly.
Once the coal is mined and sold, they will realize that this is no longer feasible.
Being too generous will only lead to more expenses than income, and will also spoil the workers."
The shopkeeper sighed, but couldn't help feeling sad in his heart.
Although Xie Xiu is not good at business, who wouldn't envy his luck?
Being able to please the Princess and Concubine Jiang, even if he had to pay some money, Xie Xiu would still make a lot of money!
Alas! It's a pity that this man is so cold and heartless that he doesn't intend to acknowledge the young lady as his sister, otherwise...
Although the other party is still willing to acknowledge the young master as a fellow countryman, a fellow countryman is different from a brother-in-law after all...
And there is the Princess of Fu'an, who is the lucky star recognized by the eldest princess herself.
If they became relatives with the Zhu family, perhaps the Zhu family could also benefit from the blessing of the young county lady.
Not like now...
The shopkeeper covered his chest with his hands in pain, feeling as if he had seen a room full of treasures, but there was a big lock on the door, so he couldn't get in and could only watch.
This is going to cost him his life!
