Chapter 171 Getting Rich Together with Military Wives (1/2)

Lin Han told Liu Li and Wang Fang about what she wanted them to help her with.

Of course, they only mentioned drying dried lily buds, without mentioning that they intended to trade and export them.

It wasn't that she didn't trust the two of them; it was just that there were many people and gossips in the family compound, and she was afraid that Liu Li and Wang Fang might accidentally let something slip and then be taken advantage of by someone with ulterior motives.

Although her actions became legal and compliant with regulations due to the involvement of Old Mrs. Jiang and Old Mr. Gu, the organization could not find any fault with them.

However, one should always be wary of others. It's not the bad people that are scary, but those who are both bad and stupid.

"Drying winter vegetables? We can help you. We need to prepare winter vegetables for our own family anyway, so it's just a small favor."

Liu Li and Wang Fang readily agreed.

Seeing their answers, Lin Han knew that they hadn't realized the scale of the drying operation she was referring to.

"I need a lot. I not only need your help, but also the sisters who signed the joint letter and helped me."

Don't worry, I will definitely pay you for your work.

Wages are calculated based on the amount of work done.

Liu Li and Wang Fang exchanged a glance, realizing the importance of what Lin Han had said.

There's actually still wages to be paid?

They became pregnant not long after they came to join the army, so they were not assigned jobs. The family relied entirely on the man's salary and allowances to make a living. Although they were doing alright, it was never as good as having status in the family as they did when they could earn their own money.

Nowadays, many women go to school and, after graduation, have good jobs just like men, earning money to support their families. The relationship between men and women is no longer the same as in the old society.

If they weren't pregnant, they wouldn't want to stay idle at home, and they would always be ridiculed by female soldiers like Wang Ru who had jobs.

"Sister Lin, are you serious? We can earn some wages too?"

Lin Han nodded, "Really, but only to the sisters who signed the joint letter. I don't trust others, and I'm not willing to involve them in this."

Liu Li understood perfectly; she was the one who felt it most deeply. Back then, she had endured countless scornful looks and slander in order to gather enough signatures for the joint letter.

Even if Lin Han didn't say it, she would remind Lin Han to be careful of certain people in the future.

"Okay, Lin, then we'll follow you to make money."

Lin Han was closest to Liu Li and Wang Fang, and she could tell that Liu Li was different from the others; Lin Han recognized Liu Li's abilities.

"Then I'll trouble Sister Liu and Sister Wang to help inform the other sisters-in-law that I will come tomorrow to explain the work steps and key points. Once the raw materials arrive, everyone can start working."

In addition, I need to trouble my two sisters-in-law to keep an eye on things for me and act as supervisors. One of them will be responsible for counting each day's work, recording who completed how much in a notebook, and then signing it to confirm.

This is a receipt for receiving wages, to avoid disputes and hurt feelings later due to whether more or less work was done.

Another person helps supervise the quality of everyone's work. Any substandard work must be reworked to ensure quality.

These things might take up some of your time, so I won't be calculating your wages based on the actual amount.

We'll pay you daily, and on top of everyone's average wage, we'll give each of you an extra 10%.

In other words, if everyone works quickly and well, you can earn more money, which is also thanks to your good management.

After listening, Liu Li and Wang Fang felt that Lin Han's words made a lot of sense. If they managed things carefully, they could earn more money, which motivated them.
