Chapter 481 - Chapter 481: Chapter 473: A Virtuous Wife Can Prosper Her Husband_1 (2/2)

“My wife has already agreed; what more can I say? Looks like I can’t even sneak out of work! As long as Master Qin doesn’t mind, I’ll work hard in your fields for a whole year next year. I believe that if I do well, Master Qin won’t shortchange me. After all, you have an excellent reputation in the village, known for offering high wages.”

Liu Shengli agreed, and at the same time, he didn’t forget to give Qin Niu a high compliment.

“As fellow villagers, it’s only right to offer a higher wage. That settles it, if you do well, I’ll give you an extra two Wen Money a day and it will continue. During festivals, as long as I’m not too strapped for cash, I’ll find a way to give you all some extra bonuses.”

Qin Niu was also straightforward, offering very generous terms.

Only the Yan Family was known to be so generous in giving bonuses to workers during the festive seasons.

Other employers, at most, would provide their workers with an extra meal with meat on the festive day to improve their food.

If it were one of those rich but unkind and stingy employers, they would enjoy lavish feasts themselves without even sharing the soup with their workers.

“Deal! I knew Master Qin would not treat me poorly!”

Liu Shengli’s face beamed with smiles as he nodded repeatedly, inviting Qin Niu into his home.

His wife had already run over to open the big door, set up chairs, and even wiped them with her sleeve, doing her utmost to be hospitable.

“Master Qin, my home is not in a good state, it’s a bit messy, please bear with us!”

“This is already very good! The household items are neatly arranged, and the corners and windowsills are clean and tidy, sister-in-law is a diligent woman! Liu Shengli is fortunate to have married you, that is definitely a blessing.”

Qin Niu praised sincerely from his heart.

Liu Shengli’s wife had managed their home in an orderly, clean, and bright manner, which gave a particularly good impression.

Living in such a home would surely be very comfortable.

For a man to marry a good wife is definitely a tremendously happy thing.

She brought out some pastries and melon seeds from inside the house, and placed them in a wooden bowl.

“Master Qin, please have some snacks first; I will go fetch some sour wine.”

“Sister-in-law, no trouble needed, I seldom drink,” Qin Niu called out.

“It’s no trouble! It’s our honor for you to visit our home, and we must offer you the best food we have. But in your mansion, you lack nothing, enjoy exquisite delicacies every day, so don’t disdain these simple foods of ours!”

She was more eloquent than most women.

Capable of touching people’s hearts.

Now Qin Niu was the wealthiest in the region, with servants attending to his food and clothing, able to eat whatever he desired.

Indeed, just as she said, he had grown tired of exotic delicacies.

The pastries and sour wine in the Liu Shengli family might be considered the best food by them, but for Qin Niu, they were relatively poor fare.

“Thank you for your warm hospitality, sister-in-law; what we eat at home is actually just the same,” Qin Niu said as he sat down and casually popped a piece of pastry into his mouth.

Liu Shengli’s three children peered out timidly from behind the doorframe, eagerly eyeing the pastries on the wooden platter.

“These three children are yours, right?” Qin Niu asked while waving at the three shy kids.

“Don’t be afraid, come here, take whatever you want to eat!”

The three children, despite their cravings, didn’t dare to come over. They just hid behind the doorframe, looking at Qin Niu.

One child was even so scared that they tucked their head back in.
