Chapter 388 Start of work and strangeness
The older Wu Lichang gets, the more afraid of death he becomes. When he heard this, his face turned gloomy, and he stared at Wu Sixheng and said, "I am old enough to have a son. Do I still need to support my body and bones?"
Wu Sixheng hurriedly apologized: "I'm sorry, my nephew."
Chief Wu still needed him to do something, so he put away his bad face and gave him the money: "Take these five taels of silver. Be sure to give him the money." Things are done.”
Only five taels of silver?
But Wu Sixheng took the silver and promised: "Don't worry, my nephew, my nephew will take care of this matter."
But some of the Wu family disciples disliked that five taels of silver was too little, and deliberately asked Wu Sixheng: "Fourth Uncle , can it really reverse the rumor? "The whole town is scolding her. "
It is said that the elders of the Wu family are disrespectful, and they are burying their heads in the dirt, and they are causing harm to the little girl.
Bang!
Wu Lichang slapped the table, stared at him coldly, and sneered: "Xiaocangzi, let's make a bet. If the rumors are reversed, your family will pay double the grain tax this year. How about this? ?”
When the grain tax is collected this year, the clerk must have returned to the county government office. The amount of grain in a bucket is enough, but it is he, the head of the district, who has the final say.
Wu Xiaocang was so frightened by his snake-like gaze that he woke up and hurriedly apologized: "You deserve to be punished, please give me a favor. My family has very little land. If we pay more grain tax, we will starve to death!"
Wu Lichang enjoys the feeling of being requested. , after enjoying it for a moment, he said: "Learn more from your Fourth Uncle Wu, don't make your own path narrow."
When Huang Wu saw it, she felt more and more proud...Wu Lizhang is so majestic. , she was determined to kill Wu Lichang and let the Wu family help her support Brother Lu for the rest of her life.
"Yes, yes, I will remember it, junior. Thank you, the headmaster, for your kindness!" Wu Xiaocang nodded and bowed in salute. It was not until he left the Wu family house that the cold feeling on his body dissipated.
Wu Sixheng said to them: "It's not easy for country people to make money. These five taels of silver are a lot. We can at least split one or two halves."
"Seriously?" Wu Xiaocang was happy and complimented Wu Sixheng again: "Fourth Uncle Wu , please help us make more money in the future.”
Wu Sixheng nodded, and took these Wu family children to find someone to help reverse the rumors... The people in the country were gossiping, and the Wu family gave them money again. Rumors spread quickly.
By the next day, when Zhou Shiliu and the others came to work in the workshop, the rumors they brought with them were: "It is said that Huang Xianniang was bullied by Huang Lao'er's family since she was a child, so Huang Xiadi didn't want to see Huang Lao'er. Uncle..."
"The elder Wu Li treated her well. He raised her as a runaway girl like a young lady, and gave her meat every day. She only had new winter clothes to make three clothes. Therefore, she gave her body to him. Repay Wu Lichang”
"They also said that Wu Li's family is very lucky, so Wu Li could still have a son at the age of seventy. He also said that the Wu family's most blessed person is Wu Xingzu. He will definitely become an official in high school and earn a top scholar in our Taifeng Town. ”
"Hey, I'm really not ashamed to hear this." Zhou Shiliu's mother-in-law has a son who is a yamen servant and is still earning twenty taels of silver a month. She is not afraid of Wu Li's family at all. Pulling He said in his voice: "Wu Xingzu can make mistakes even when it comes to grain taxes. If he becomes an official, I don't dare think about it. I'm afraid he will earn the Wu family the crime of exterminating the nine tribes!"
Hahaha, Qin Liupo was very applauded and praised: "Old sisters are right, the Wu family cannot let Wu Xingzu go to the scientific examination, otherwise he will make a mistake of the court and the Wu family will not be able to handle it."
Dang, Dang, Dang!
Qin Xiaomi struck the gong, and the workshop immediately became quiet.
She walked in and said: "The matter between the Wu and Huang families has been settled, and everyone is focusing on their work. If something goes wrong because of gossiping, and the goods are returned by the merchant, the compensation will be several thousand taels of silver. ”
“Oh my God , we can’t afford to pay for it if all the people in Zhoujia Village are sold.” Zhou Shiliu was afraid, and immediately smacked her lips and promised: “I won’t say anything today, and I will work hard.”
Qin Xiaomi looked at Qin Liupo again.
Qin Liupo was so frightened that she hurriedly said: "Don't deduct the dividends, Liupo, shut up and work honestly!"
Qin Xiaomi was satisfied, but she took Aunt Xu, Qiao Lizi, Su family, He family, Gong family, and Qin Eryong The daughter-in-law called over and told them: "We are going to work on the first day of the new year, and the female workers are still in a state of mind. You should keep a close eye on the goods to prevent mistakes in the goods." "Hey, we will keep an eye on it." Su and the others responded, Go and stare at the processes in charge of each one.
Qin Xiaomi did not leave, but asked Zhu Yiqing to call Huang Lao's second daughter-in-law to the main hall.
Huang Lao's second daughter-in-law was very scared, thinking it was what happened yesterday, which made Qin Xiaomi disgusted.
When Qin Xiaomi saw her, he asked: "Aunt Huang, can you still hold on? Do you want to give you a day off? I won't deduct your wages."
She meant well, how could she know Huang Lao's second daughter-in-law was so frightened that she knelt down and said, "Don't fire me, little boss. What happened yesterday was my family's fault. Don't worry, my family will never come to ask the village chief for help in the future!"
"..." Qin Xiaomi hurriedly explained: "I didn't mean to fire you, and I wasn't angry because of what happened yesterday. I was just afraid that you wouldn't be able to hold on, so I called you here to take care of you."
Huh?
The little boss cares about her?
Huang Lao's second daughter-in-law was a little uncomfortable with this concern. After a moment, she said: "There is no need to rest, I can hold on, and it will not affect my work... I just didn't expect that Xia Niang actually volunteered."
Huang Lao's second daughter-in-law remembers that when she was in her hometown, Huang Xianiang once said that her husband may not necessarily be a man of fame, but he must be someone of similar age to her and with similar interests.
Qin Xiaomi advised: "This matter is over. You have fulfilled your responsibilities as uncles and aunts. Don't think about it anymore."
He asked again: "Are Huang Wu's mother and son back?"
Huang Lao's second daughter-in-law shook her head: "I haven't come back. , They should still be with Xianniang at Wu’s house.”
Qin Xiaomi said: “After they return to the village, you continue to keep an eye on them and don’t let them harm the village.”
“Yes.” Huang Lao's second daughter-in-law wiped away her tears, got up and went to work.
The excitement of the New Year among the female workers has not passed yet, so after noon, Qin Xiaomi beat the gong to tell the female workers to call it a day and said: "Queue up and receive the New Year's red envelope."
"There are still New Year's red envelopes to receive. ? ” Zhou Shilipo was overjoyed.
Qin Liupo was unhappy and asked in a bad tone: "Xiaomi, are these new year red envelopes deducted from the dividends of our families?"
Qin Xiaomi smiled He said: “This red envelope was originally given by me personally to the female workers. Yes, but since the sixth wife said so, she must also make the sixth wife’s family pay for it.”
Qin Liupo was anxious and shouted quickly: “Xiaomi, the sixth wife is wrong, it’s the sixth wife. My mother-in-law owes me a debt, so don’t deduct the dividends from my sixth mother-in-law’s family!”
Hahaha, the female workers laughed out loud when they saw Qin Liupo's desperate look, and regained the feeling of working in the workshop.
Qin Xiaomi ignored Qin Liupo and sent red envelopes to everyone: "Take it."
"Hey, thank you so much, little boss. I wish you good luck in the new year, may you bring more blessings and wealth." After receiving the red envelopes, the female workers said auspicious words.
After returning to the village, he told the story about getting a red envelope of one penny to start work, which made the villagers jealous again.
On the third day of the start of work, Manager Xue brought a convoy to pull goods, and also brought a lot of food to the children of several families, which made Qin Jingyi and others very happy.
During the inspection, Qin Xiaomi asked about Dong Xue's family: "Manager Xue, when will Dong Xue's family come again?"
