Following Village Chief He, there came He Wanli, He Laotian, He Dagu, He Dasu, and He Wazi's family, each presenting their congratulatory gifts.
The wives from these families also accompanied them, even the widow of He Wazi came. Yesterday, under the escort of Village Chief He and their own men, these women went to Gu Jinli's house to sign contracts and are now part of the Gu Family Workshop.
Besides them, the family of He Tieshu also arrived.
As he didn't join He Guangcai and the others in seeking work, but instead went to inform Village Chief He, this was indirectly a favor to the Gu family, so Gu Jinli's house recruited his wife to work in the workshop.
By now, just for grinding spices, there were fourteen women and children in the Gu Family Workshop.
