It's not scary to travel through a book, you can change your fate as a cannon fodder by yoursel

Seeing Weng Xiaoxiao's gloomy face, Wang Fang knew that his boss was not joking, and hurriedly said, "I dare not, I dare not have any evil thoughts."

Weng Xiaoxiao turned her head away, not looking at him again, and bowed to Captain Li.

Captain Li understood and winked. The two yamen runners behind him came closer, one on each side, and stood next to Wang Fang.

Wang Fang glanced at the crowd, and everyone avoided his gaze.

Although some people feel sorry for them, they should be punished for doing something wrong. Moreover, the boss just asked them to leave and didn't do anything excessive. If someone else beat them up, they would have to take it. Thinking of this, they would be even less likely to help.

Since so many people went with her, Weng Xiaoxiao did not go and invited Captain Li to come in for tea.

It is not advisable to get too close to someone like Captain Li, but it is obviously more convenient to go to him for minor matters, so the county magistrate might as well take care of it now. When doing business, it is natural to deal with officials.

Twenty taels of silver were given over, and before they had even finished a cup of tea, the two men had already begun calling each other brothers.

"Sir, they have packed their things and are about to go out." Xiaotian replied from outside the door.

"Just give them these two taels of silver and let them take care of themselves."

Xiaotian took it with both hands, bowed, and went out to do his work.

"Brother Li, I have some things to deal with at the farm, so I can't keep you company today. I will host a banquet to apologize some other day." Inviting or not is one thing, but nice words should always be said.

"Thank you for your courtesy, Brother Weng. We can get together again when you are free." Captain Li stood up and said goodbye. With the money, this trip was not in vain. Whether to drink or not was not a big deal.

Weng Xiaoxiao politely escorted the person out of the village.

......

After everyone dispersed, Liu Yuan came over to apologize, "Boss, I was incompetent and failed to handle this matter properly. I am willing to accept the punishment."

As a manager, you can't just do nothing and rely on your boss for everything.

Weng Xiaoxiao said with a sullen face: "Uncle Liu, I don't want the manager to oppress the tenants, but you still have to use your authority. Being polite to a scoundrel will be seen as weakness. Forget it this time, and don't do it again. Go and gather everyone, I have something to say."

Liu Yuan bowed respectfully and said, "Yes, I'll go right away."

Weng Xiaoxiao looked at the other people in the room and said, "Auntie Liu, Xiaokong, the management of the workshop must be strengthened in the future. No irrelevant people should be allowed in. The most worrying thing about food is that something goes wrong. If the credit is ruined, this business will be closed down."

Faced with the resolute boss, Aunt Liu felt a little more afraid. "Yes, boss, don't worry. After the workers go in, I will lock the door from the inside. The delivery of vegetables and goods are all in the outer courtyard, managed by Xiao Kong. Only when he and my old man come to knock on the door, I will open it."

"Well, well done. Incoming vegetables and goods must be strictly screened, and outgoing goods must be strictly checked. It is better to destroy problematic vegetables than to make people sick. Every step must be assigned to a person. If there is a problem, I will find the little manager."

Xiao Kong listened very carefully, "Sir, I've made a note of it."

"Boss, everyone is here."

Weng Xiaoxiao nodded at Liu Yuan and led a few people to the yard.

"I asked everyone to come here to talk about what happened today. When I bought the pickle recipe, I gave Wang Fang two choices. He chose to take cash and signed and pledged it. Now he is making trouble, just because he is jealous of the money the workshop can make. I hope you understand the right and wrong of this. I don't owe Wang Fang's family anything."

"I will not deprive you of a cent of what is due, but no one should try to blackmail me just because I am young and easy to talk to. Those who don't believe in evil can just think about how strong their own bones are."

Weng Xiaoxiao had never been so harsh before, but the incident with Wang Fang made her realize that she must establish the prestige she deserves and that her subordinates must have the fear they deserve. The combination of kindness and severity is not just empty talk. If you can't control people, don't even think about getting big.

Seeing the fearful expressions on everyone's faces, Weng Xiaoxiao softened her tone and said, "You all have families. If you work hard with me, your life will not be bad."

"Wang Fang has left, but he has lived in the manor for so long, he must have relatives and friends. The following words are for you to hear. If you want to stand up for him and do something dishonest, just driving him away is not enough. I will definitely send him to jail. If you don't believe me, just try it."

"Don't dare, don't dare."

"Wang Fang deserves what he gets. It's all his fault."

Immediately, several clever ones responded.

After Liu Yuan consulted with Weng Xiaoxiao, he stepped forward and said, "We have been villagers for half our lives. We are all good people in our village. Some of those who have small thoughts should restrain themselves. Wang Fang is the best example. If you are really driven out, do you have land and a house? What will your family eat and drink? Don't be blinded by other people's petty gains and sell your conscience. If you really commit a serious crime and go to jail, how can your family live? It will only destroy your family."

Liu Yuan's words were more down-to-earth, and everyone who heard them nodded continuously.

"Ask around and you will find another kind person like our boss! Whether selling vegetables or working in a workshop, everyone has some extra money, right? Don't be ungrateful for what you have."

After Liu Yuan finished speaking, Lao Liu stood up and said, "The boss burned the IOU, so he is our family's great benefactor. Otherwise, my daughter would not be safe, and there would be no glorious wedding. Everyone knows what happened to Wang Fang. He was ungrateful. Without the boss, no matter how good his pickles were, they could not be exchanged for money. He has been poor for half his life, and now he has bought land, but he is still not satisfied. I didn't care about anything just to blackmail people. It's his own fault that he ended up like this."

Weng Xiaoxiao nodded to Lao Liu and said, "I'm telling you all this to be more vigilant and not to be taken advantage of. A steady and long-term life is a safe one. That's all I have to say. Go back now."

Seeing that Weng Xiaoxiao's eyes were full of fatigue, Feng Gu pulled her into the house with heartache, asked Liu Yuan and others to disperse, and did not forget to ask Aunt Zhang to cook.

"You look tired, why don't you just stay here for the night?"

This is her room, and Weng Xiaoxiao would occasionally stay here.

"Okay then, I really don't want to move." After kicking off her shoes, Weng Xiaoxiao curled up in the armchair.

......

Wang Fang was timid after being taught a lesson, but his son was not a pushover. After being driven out, Wang Yu didn't care how his family was settled, and went straight to the gangsters in the neighboring village.

A few of Wang Fang's friends, who were all idle people nearby, encouraged him to make trouble. It was one of them named Er Laizi who came up with the idea. After some discussion, they decided to arrest Weng Xiaoxiao and demand a ransom of 1,000 taels.

Wang Yu had never done anything like this before, so he was a little timid. "Second brother, the man surnamed Weng is familiar with the officials. Can we get the money?"
