Bab 980: Contract

They remembered that the son from his neighbor Mr. Li was working at a restaurant and received 8 liang a year. Together with some other bonuses, he was able to get 10 liang a year… and that was already enough for Mr. Li to brag about in the village.

However, the son of the village chief was working as a pageboy for a wealthy family, and that boy was paid around 1 liang a month, thus 12 liang a year. Together with some other bonuses, that boy was able to get around 15 liang a year… Shen Tai's sister-in-law kept thinking about how much she should say. She was hoping to get as much money as possible a year.

They had a lot of land at home, but few people were capable of working. A good harvest would need a lot of effort, and since their son was going to school soon, they needed money.
