Pepi, frustrated by the incident last afternoon and his poor economic situation, ended up skipping dinner with her three husbands. He really didn't want to see this miserly family for now.
Feeling that something was wrong, Rizqi asked, "What happened to him?"
This question is directed to Orden. Orden is now Pepi's "new love", following him wherever he goes all day, so he certainly knows what's going on.
However, Rizqi's question did not actually intend to pay any attention to Pepi. He was just afraid Pepi would do it again and he had to clean it up again.
Orden bit the bread while shaking his head. "Where do I know."
As he spoke, he glanced at Yurdha. Ever since Pepi came out of Yurdha's room, the atmosphere around Pepi had instantly become intense. Now Orden could feel the awkwardness of Yurdha. Could they be fighting?
Even so, Orden did not care. This isn't the description. With an expression of unwillingness to interfere, Orden savored his bread before leaving the dining table.
Unfortunately, Rizqi instantly won Orden's gaze earlier. Heart's shaking. He immediately pulled Yurdha and asked, "Did she do something to you?"
The incident this afternoon spontaneously haunts Yurdha's head as Rizqi questions. Instantly he fell silent, not knowing what to say. But, it was this doubt of Yurdha that prompted Rizqi to stand up from the chair and prepare to fight Pepi.
"I'll make a calculation with him!"
Yurdha was startled and immediately held him back. "Sister, wait! Nothing happened to me. He didn't do anything!"
"Truly there isn't?" Rizqi still looked at him suspiciously.
"There really isn't..." Yurdha answered helplessly.
Seeing Yurdha's reaction, Rizqi exhaled a sigh of relief. It seems that his sister was not treated badly. He sat down and asked again, "So, what's wrong with Pepi? Did you upset him?"
To be honest, Rizqi was hesitant because her sister was quite friendly and the most relaxed person in the world. Yurdha pulled the corner of her lips, it seemed that trouble had come her way.
"It's nothing, just a misunderstanding."
Rizqi nodded, "Okay then."
If Yurdha didn't want to talk about it, she wouldn't force it either. As long as his younger brother was not treated badly by Pepi, there would be no problems between them. However, there was a strange feeling in his heart. Ever since Pepi woke up from the well incident, this strange feeling grew stronger. Not even he knows what really happened.
The next morning, Pepi went out. On one hand, she did not want to see her obnoxious husband at home and on the other, she did not want to continue living idly.
Since he could not borrow money for venture capital, it was better that he went out and looked for a way to earn money. Even though it means doing menial work, it is still better than doing nothing at home.
He was tired of this poor and restrained life!
Pepi recalled that the most knowledgeable family in the village was the Siraga Family. The Siraga family is considered wealthy in the Smolage Subdistrict. Not only do they have twenty acres of good farmland in the village, but they also have a minimarket in the city.
Due to their business dealings in the city, they had relationships with people outside the Smolage area. When people in the village want to find work or beg for help, they have to go through the Siraga Family as an intermediary.
Of course, this agent also charges a fee, but Pepi doesn't care. He went straight to the Siraga Family.
The Siraga Family Home is much better than the simple Sigalung Family home. The high walls are made of bricks and the house is also tiled covered with fine ceramics. Not only that, but the furniture of his house is also clean and neatly arranged.
"Well, who is this? Visitors are rarely seen! Why would Pepi have time to come to my house?" Werin Siraga has a glamorous appearance with a round body and face, it is clear that he often eats well.
Pepi smiled and replied, "I want to find a job here with my brother. Now the growing season is at a standstill, so I have a little free time."
Werin Siraga looked surprised, "Oh, you're not kidding, are you? Isn't your husband working? Since when did you exchange positions? Could your husband not support you?"
"Aren't there women who depend entirely on men for a living? Because now I have free time, it's only natural that I look for something to be productive" Pepi replied.
Werin Siraga looked at him from top to bottom. There was a rumor in the village that this shy Pepi had defeated a strong woman. Although he did not believe it, but now he saw Pepi looking for work again. It was like turning 180 degrees.
"After that, it just so happens that your husband's workplace is opening a vacancy. You can work there. The salary itself is as much as ten thousand rupiah per day," proposed Werin Siraga.
"Ten thousand?!" Pepi raised her eyes.
That means he can't even make 1 million in a month?!
Werin Siraga immediately quipped, "Why? Less? If you feel less, don't do it. There are still a lot of people who want this job."
This is blatant exploitation by the capitalists!
However, there is nothing Pepi can do even though he is very furious. "I'll do it!"
Alright, I will hold on for the future!
"Now is the right time. Quickly go to the village entrance and join the others. Brother Nanda should have been there counting the number of people. You can catch a job today."
Kak Nanda who works for the Siraga Family is a subordinate who is responsible for doing all sorts of manual work and traveling tasks.
Every day, the Siraga Family would use horse carriages to transport many people from the village to the city port to work and take care of goods.
Pepi immediately rushed to the entrance of the village.
