Chapter 525: Chapter 514: Participation

The long-term workers all wanted to marry women who had helped out at the manor before,

In the past two years, whenever the farming seasons got busy and it was hard to hire men, Manbao and the others would even hire women for the same wages.

At first, only about a dozen women, mostly older ones, came to work, but apparently, they found working in Qili Village safe, without any harassment, and they were actually paid, so the number of willing women increased.

Eventually, there were so many that they had to be selective each time they hired help.

Moreover, not only did Manbao find that women worked more meticulously and efficiently, Manor Head Bai also grew fonder of hiring women.

Apart from some heavy physical labor, women were no less capable than men in most other farming tasks.

The three long-term workers met their future wives this way.
