After rebirth, the Queen and I are on the run.
Chapter 388: Work and Strangeness
Village Chief Wu was more and more afraid of death as he got older. When he heard this, his face darkened and he stared at Wu Sisheng and said, "I'm old and I have a son. Do I still need to take care of my body?"
Wu Sisheng hastily apologized: "Please forgive me, Head of the Village. It was my nephew who spoke rudely."
Village Chief Wu still needed him to do something, so he put away his sour face and gave him some silver: "Take this five taels of silver and make sure you get the job done."
Just five taels of silver?
But Wu Sisheng took the silver and assured: "Don't worry, head of the village, my nephew will take care of this matter."
But one of the Wu family members thought five taels of silver was too little, so he deliberately asked Wu Sisheng, "Uncle, can you really change the rumors? The whole town is cursing at you."
They said that the elders of the Wu family were disrespectful, had dirt on their heads, and even harmed the little girl.
boom!
Wu Lizhang slammed the table, stared at him coldly, and sneered: "Xiao Cangzi, let's make a bet. If the rumor is reversed, your family will pay twice as much grain tax this year. How about it?"
When the grain tax was collected this year, the clerk must have returned to the county government office. As for how much grain was considered sufficient in the bucket, it was up to him, the village head, to decide.
Wu Xiaocang was awakened by his snake-like gaze and quickly pleaded guilty: "I deserve to die. I beg the village head to show mercy. My family has few fields to begin with. If I pay more grain tax, we will starve to death!"
Village Chief Wu enjoyed the feeling of being asked for favors. After enjoying it for a while, he said, "Learn more from your Uncle Wu, and don't narrow your own path."
When Huang Wu saw this, she became even more proud... Captain Wu was so powerful, she would definitely bite him to death and make the Wu family help her support Lu Ge'er for the rest of his life.
"Yes, yes, yes, I will remember this. Thank you for your kindness, head of the village!" Wu Xiaocang nodded and bowed, and the cold feeling on his body did not disappear until he left the Wu family's house.
Wu Sisheng said to them, "It's not easy for country people to make money. Five taels of silver is not a small amount. We can at least get one and a half taels."
"Really?" Wu Xiaocang was amused and complimented Wu Sisheng again: "Uncle Wu, please help us make more money in the future."
Wu Sisheng nodded and took these Wu family members to find someone to help change the rumors... People in the countryside are all gossipers, and the Wu family gave money, so the new rumors spread quickly.
The next day, when Zhou Shiliupo and her friends came to the workshop to work, the rumor they brought was: "Huang Xianniang was bullied by Huang Laoer's family since she was a child, so Huang Xianniang doesn't like her uncle Huang Laoer..."
"She said that Wu Lichang's family treated her well, raising her like a young lady, feeding her meat every day, and making three new sets of winter clothes. She therefore pledged her love to Wu Lichang to repay him."
"They also said that Wu Lichang's family was very blessed, so Wu Lichang was able to have a son at the age of 70. They also said that the most blessed person in the Wu family was Wu Xingzu, and he would definitely pass the imperial examination and become an official, earning a No. 1 Scholar title for our Taifeng Town."
"Oh, listen to what he's saying, he really has no shame." Zhou Shiliupo has a son who is a yamen runner. He is still earning two taels of silver a month. He is not afraid of the Wu family at all. He shouted at the top of his voice: "Wu Xingzu can make mistakes even when calculating grain taxes. If he becomes an official, I dare not think about it. I am afraid that he will bring the Wu family a heinous crime of exterminating all nine generations of his family!"
Hahaha, Qin Liupo was very flattering and praised, "Old sister, you are right. The Wu family must not let Wu Xingzu take the imperial examination. Otherwise, if it is a mistake made by the court, the Wu family will not be able to cover it up."
Dangdang Dangdang!
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. Let's get back to work. If there is any mistake caused by gossiping and the goods are rejected by the merchants, you will have to pay several thousand taels of silver as compensation."
"Oh my God, even if we sell all the people in Zhoujia Village, we still can't afford the compensation." Zhou Shiliu was scared and immediately slapped her mouth and promised: "I won't talk today and I will work hard."
Qin Xiaomi looked at Qin Liupo again.
Qin Liupo was so scared that she hurriedly said, "Don't deduct the dividends, Liupo, shut up and work honestly!"
Qin Xiaomi was satisfied, but she called Aunt Xu, Qiao Lizi, Su, He, Gong, and Qin Eryong's wife and told them: "It's the first day of work in the new year, and the women workers are still distracted. You have to keep a close eye on them and make sure the goods don't go wrong."
"Okay, we'll keep an eye on it." Su and the others responded and went to keep an eye on the processes they were in charge of.
Qin Xiaomi didn't leave, but asked Zhu Yiqing to call Huang Laoer's wife to the main hall.
Huang Laoer's wife was very scared, thinking that it was what happened yesterday that made Qin Xiaomi disgusted.
When Qin Xiaomi saw her, she asked, "Aunt Huang, can you still hold on? Do you want me to give you a day off? I won't deduct your wages."
She had good intentions, but Huang Laoer's wife was so scared that she knelt down and said, "Young Master, please don't fire me. It was my family that caused trouble for your family yesterday. Don't worry, my family will never come to the village chief to do anything for us again!"
"..." Qin Xiaomi hurriedly explained: "I didn't mean to fire you, nor was I angry about what happened yesterday. I was just worried that you couldn't hold on, so I called you here to show my concern."
what?
The young master cares about her?
Huang Laoer's wife was not used to this kind of concern. After a while, she said, "No need to rest. I can hold on. It won't affect my work... I just didn't expect that Xia Niang would volunteer."
Huang Laoer's wife remembered that when she was in her hometown, Huang Xianniang once said that her husband did not necessarily have to be a man of honor, but he must be someone of similar age and interest to her.
Qin Xiaomi advised: "This matter has passed, and you have fulfilled your responsibilities as uncle and aunt. Don't think about it anymore."
Then he asked, "Have Huang Wu and her son returned?"
Huang Laoer's wife shook her head: "He hasn't come back yet. He should still be at Wu's house with Xia Niang."
Qin Xiaomi said: "After they return to the village, you continue to watch them and don't let them cause trouble to the village."
"Yes." Huang Laoer's wife wiped away her tears, got up and went to work.
The workers were still excited about the New Year, so after noon, Qin Xiaomi rang the gong to let them go home, and said, "Line up to receive the New Year's red envelopes."
"There are still new year red envelopes to be received?!" Aunt Zhou Shiliu was overjoyed.
Granny Qin Liu was not happy anymore and asked in a bad tone: "Xiaomi, is this New Year's bonus deducted from the dividends of our families?"
Qin Xiaomi smiled: "I personally paid for the red envelopes for the female workers, but since Liu Po said so, I must ask Liu Po's family to pay as well."
Qin Liupo was anxious and shouted, "Xiaomi, Liupo was wrong. It was Liupo who was rude. Don't deduct the dividends from Liupo's family!"
Hahaha, when the female workers saw Qin Liupo's frustrated look, they laughed out loud and got back the feeling of working in the workshop.
Qin Xiaomi ignored Qin Liupo and handed out red envelopes to everyone: "Take it."
"Hey, thank you, little boss. I wish you a happy new year and more fortune and luck." The female workers said auspicious words after receiving the red envelopes.
After returning to the village, he told the villagers about the one-cent bonus he had received for starting work, which made them very envious.
On the third day of work, Manager Xue came with a fleet of cars to transport goods and also brought a lot of food for the children in several families, which made Qin Jingyi and others very happy.
While inspecting the goods, Qin Xiaomi asked about Mr. Xue: "Manager Xue, when will Mr. Xue come again?"
