Chapter 200 Joining Fee
Su He stared at Xu Lian'er expressionlessly. The girl who now changed her name to Wang Qingqing, damn it, she was actually deceived.
"Sister Hehua, I have booked a superior room. It is very comfortable inside. We can also call for hot water to take a bath. The room is very big. We can ask the aunts and grandmothers in the team to take a bath together."
Wang Qingqing smiled at Su He with a guilty conscience, "Sister Hehua, I will go to the village later tomorrow to see my parents. I want to get their ashes before leaving."
Forget it, Su He, it’s your fault for being greedy.
"Tomorrow we will measure the land and go back to the city to get the land deed. It will be too late to go back, and I think we will have to stay another night. You can wait for us in this inn. We will go together the day after tomorrow. I will help you check your land."
Wang Qingqing wiped her tears and quickly thanked him.
"But I have to say this up front. You can't play tricks on my family in the future. Everyone has secrets, but when we live together, we must maintain basic respect and honesty. We are not your tools to protect yourself."
Wang Qingqing pursed her lips and stood there listening to the lecture. She waited until Su He finished speaking before she dared to look up at her. "Sister Hehua, I understand. I will change in the future."
Su He nodded, "How big is your first-class room? I want to open two more. There are many people in our village, and one room is not enough."
Wang Qingqing happily took Su He's arm and took her to the inn she had booked.
"Sister, there are only two first-class rooms available. I booked one. There should be one more. But it doesn't matter. My room can be shared with everyone. I don't need such a big room for myself."
Su He followed Wang Qingqing there, and as expected, there was only one first-class room left. Su He spent 5 taels of silver to book one. He also spent 4 taels of silver to book two second-class rooms. The two rooms were basically the same, the first-class room was a little bigger, and there was an extra chaise longue.
Su He asked someone to remove the chaise longue so that an extra bathtub could be placed there.
There were 2 bathtubs in the second-class rooms and 4 in the first-class rooms. If you count Wang Qingqing's, there were 12 bathtubs, and there were 29 women in the village.
This way two or three people can take turns using one bathtub, which is just enough.
Su He asked Wang Qingqing to help ask the kitchen if there was enough hot water. If not, they should boil more. They would use a lot of hot water later.
As soon as Wang Qingqing left, Su He immediately went to open a dormitory room for 50 people and placed a box in the middle.
After locking the door of the bunk bed, he waited for Wang Qingqing to come back at the entrance of the inn.
"Sister, the hot water is not enough. I asked them to boil more."
Wang Qingqing would never do these errands before, but now that Su He mentioned it, she ran to the kitchen as if she had received an imperial decree, and then came back breathlessly to report to Su He.
"Well, well done, let's go get everyone to come along."
Su He took Wang Qingqing to look for someone. Just then, Wang Fugui brought people back the luggage, and everyone went to the inn together.
Everyone followed Su He to the big bunk bed.
"Let's put our luggage aside and have a meeting."
When everyone heard that the meeting was about to start, they quickly put down their luggage and moved towards Su He. Su He stood directly in the middle of the bunk bed.
"Divide your things first, and each family should send a representative."
Su He turned his back to everyone and took out the money that he had previously kept for everyone from the space while no one was paying attention.
Everyone came over excitedly to claim their wallets. After everyone finished claiming, Su He clapped his hands and signaled everyone to be quiet.
"This is Wang Qingqing. She changed her name to match her biological father's. From now on, she will live with us in Qingshan Village and we will be neighbors. We will help each other and be polite to each other."
Wang Qingqing walked to Su He's side with her head down nervously. This time everyone was looking at her. Thinking about how she had offended them before, Wang Qingqing felt really uneasy.
"Grandpa, grandma, uncles, aunts, brothers, sisters, and younger brothers and sisters, hello everyone, I did something wrong before, I hope you can forgive me, I will definitely not do it again in the future."
No one below said a word. Wang Qingqing stole a few glances and then looked at Su He beside her.
Seeing Wang Qingqing getting scared, Su He smiled.
"The dormitory we are staying in today was paid for by Qingqing. She also booked a room for us women to wash and brush our teeth. We can go take a shower after the meeting."
Su He cleared her throat and took out the banknote. "I know Wang Qingqing didn't perform well before. We can't just let anyone join the Tianyuan group. This is the joining fee given by Wang Qingqing. Everyone will get a share. She will have a six-month observation period. If she performs well in this half year, we will accept her. If she doesn't perform well and is not on the same page with us, then we will go our separate ways. This money is not refundable. Just give me some face and give her a chance."
"Now we will start distributing the silver. Each person will receive 27 taels."
"As usual, we start with the one with the most people. Uncle Five and Uncle Six, you have 621 taels of silver, and I'll give you 721 taels of silver. You can give me 100 taels of silver, and you two families can take it back and divide it among yourselves."
Su He gave a silver note for five hundred taels, a silver note for two hundred taels, and 21 taels of change.
As soon as the topic of dividing the money came up, everyone became excited again. Seeing that Wang Qingqing looked a little pitiful, they were not so averse anymore.
Wang Laowu happily took the silver and fumbled in his arms, but couldn't find it after a long time. Su He's mouth twitched speechlessly. Wang Laoliu directly took out 100 taels of silver notes from his family and handed it to Su He, then dragged his stupid brother away. It was harder to get this man to pay than to die.
"Okay, next, uncle, you should collect all five of our families first. Our total is 891 taels. Here, this is 109 taels, and you can give me taels."
Wang Fugui was very quick. He first gave a silver note for 100 taels, and then took out his coin purse and gave 9 taels of silver.
Next came Goudan's family, with 216 taels. Li Si and Dali's families each had 108 taels, and finally Liu Niang and Liu Bai, with 54 taels.
The remaining two taels of silver were still taken by Su He.
"Okay, everyone, put away yourselves. Now we are just one step away from a stable life, so don't let your guard down. We still have to keep watch at night. Uncles who don't want to take a bath can go to sleep first. We can also call in a few bathtubs in the dormitory to wash. Everyone can decide for themselves. All of us women should go upstairs to wash up. Tomorrow morning we will have porridge, rent a carriage, and set off."
After Su He finished giving the instructions, she took the women upstairs. Wen Niang disliked Wang Sheng for being clumsy, so she took little Shitou upstairs to take a bath. Goudan's mother did the same, taking the two little ones upstairs. Goudan then took his two older brothers to take a bath together on the common bed.
Wang Laowu's third daughter-in-law also went up with her three-year-old son Tongban. Wang Huahua also wanted to pull the five-year-old He Gong up, but the little boy insisted and refused. "I'm grown up, men should stay on the first floor. Mother, you go ahead, I will wash myself."
Wang Huahua reluctantly handed He Gong to her father and brother, "Dad, brother, I'll leave the work to you."
Wang Laoliu smiled and waved his hand to let his daughter go upstairs, "Go ahead, don't worry about our men's affairs."
Wang Huahua followed her mother and others upstairs with a dark face.
