Chapter 88 (1/2)

Wancheng shipyard.

Although the weather is still cloudless, but I do not know why Zheng Yue's heart or feel particularly irritable.

My mother's condition was getting worse, but she didn't even have enough money to sell medicine.

The children in the family can't take out the money from the private school now. They can only let the children stay at home and send them to them when they have more money in the future.

In addition, the wife of the family also complained a lot. As a master ship builder, she only got half a month's salary, which was really a bit of a shame.

When his wife married him, Zheng Yue also vowed to let her live a good life, but now this commitment is obviously not realized.

In today's shipyards, there are still countless jobs to do, but there are certain working hours. If there are not enough working hours, even the half gold monthly money will not be available.

However, he can only do odd jobs after work to make up for the expenses of the family.

At the beginning, it was not that no other shipyard took a fancy to him. Even in the county town, he was invited to pay him two gold a month, but he refused because his mother was ill.

”Foreman Zheng, here is a letter from the county magistrate to you.”

When Zheng Yue was in a daze, a man dressed as a boy came over and handed him a letter.

”OK, I see.” After receiving the letter, Zheng Yue nodded and said with a smile.

He and county Cheng still have some friendship. When his mother was just sick, he needed hardware to pay for the medicine, but there was not so much money in the family.

Then the county magistrate came forward and took out a month's money from his own, which solved the matter.

The county magistrate himself is very popular in the whole city of Anhui. On the one hand, he is a local, and on the other hand, he is a man of good will.

More than ten days ago, he invited himself to his house for two small cups of wine. He still remembered the name of the wine. That cup was a gold, but it tasted like jade dew.

Zheng Yue also opened the letter and slowly read it. He knew the basic words and was a cultural man. Otherwise, he would not be a master of shipbuilding.

The more he read, the more happy he was, and his heart was completely shaken.

There is no need to cheat a craftsman who doesn't have anything, so it should be true.

A month has ten gold monthly money, and close to home, this is simply can't dream of things.

At the end of the letter, the county magistrate also jokingly said that after arriving at the shuobai village, he had enough wine.

This wine is the kind of ”thousand army drunk” that he had drunk before. With such a good thing, he was not willing to.

As for the present position, it's better not to do it, or my good craftsmanship will be completely wasted, and I will be cowardly by the petty officials in the county government.

However, the letter also said that he could take the other shipbuilders of the shipyard with him, but not all of them at one time. In that case, the county magistrate would surely find out.

After making up his mind, Zheng Yue immediately took his tools home.

At first, his wife complained about why he came back so early. Later, she didn't believe Zheng Yue's words.

You are a clay legged man who has been dealing with wood all his life. How can you get ten gold a month? Not even those officials.
