章 364: Soybeans

These people came to compete with them for money.

The children had all three Mus of land to pick, but now the elderly came to compete with them.

However, competition bred motivation.

As a result, the children moved faster than they did in the morning.

These elders were not willing to be outdone. They spent a lot of effort convincing Grandma Xiao to offer them this job. They would be paid according to weight, so the more they did, the more they would be paid. They were not willing to give in to the brats.

The children glared at the elders. The elders shook their heads and turned back to their work.

The group of women led by Zhou Yan planned to help pick the peanuts after they were done harvesting the peanut stalks. Their wages were not calculated by weight but by time. If they worked a full eight hours, they would be paid 30 RMB. Since so many people were there picking the peanuts, they didn't join them and instead went to cut the soybeans.
