"They currently have no money or resources, even eating is a problem. Although we don't have any money either, we do have some food. Not a lot, but it's enough so that no one would starve."
"So I was thinking, maybe we could have them sign a document. It's not a contract of servitude, just like hiring long-term workers!"
"We could provide them with grain, let them take it back to eat, but they would have to work to repay the debt."
Yi Meng paused and looked at everyone.
Qi Quanjin was the first to respond, "Wife, you mean hiring them as long-term workers, but we're just humble farmers, how can we afford to hire long-term workers?"
Yin Cheng, for once, spoke calmly, "We have no official titles or land, we're not wealthy. If word gets out that we're hiring workers, it might not look good."
Others nodded in agreement.
Goodness, they almost ended up becoming long-term workers for wealthier families, and now they're considering hiring workers themselves.
