Zhong Ruyi was so engrossed in what she heard that she kept asking Shitou about the follow-up. She had originally come to talk to Li Guihua about something, but now she had forgotten about it and was only interested in knowing whether the teacher had apologized.

"No, the master fainted so all of us are given the day off."

Shitou shook his head in a stern manner, his face full of resentment, "Master usually hits people so hard, why did he suddenly faint when he was asked to apologize? I think he is clearly trying to avoid this fact!"

The people present also felt the same way. You didn’t faint when you were beating the child, but now you fainted when you were trying to apologize. It’s not you who was beaten, so you shouldn’t be fainting, right?

After listening to the private school teacher's story, Zhong Ruyi finally remembered what he came here for.

"Sister-in-law, isn't there an empty room left in our workshop? I have arranged for the orchard keeper to move in. Tomorrow he will bring his mother and daughter to live with them. If you can help them in any way, please do so. I see that his family is not well off, so let's just consider it a good deed."

Li Guihua nodded and said okay.

The next day, Ji Jiang brought his mother and daughter and their few belongings to Xinghua Village.

Grandma Ji held her granddaughter's hand tightly, with a nervous look on her face.

Until I was brought to the door of the workshop and pushed open the gate to go in, I saw people busy inside.

When they saw someone coming in, they looked up at them curiously.

Seeing people being brought in, Li Guihua hurried forward and took them to the next room.

"Although the room is not big, it can accommodate the three of you. There is a cabinet here for clothes, and there are tables and chairs."

She brought the grandparents and grandchildren into the room. After Ji Jiang took them in, he had to go to work and left first.

Li Guihua had never met Grandma Ji, and now she felt awkward talking to the two of them.

There are two beds in the room. When you sleep on them, you can just put up a curtain in the middle.

Grandma Ji and Ji Xiaoyu were still a little reserved. After putting down their clothes and other things, they did not look around carefully and just believed what they heard.

Seeing that the two of them were really unable to move freely, Li Guihua simply said what she needed to say and left. There was still a lot of work waiting for her to do in the workshop, and the rest was left for the two of them to adapt to on their own.

The Fang family sent Butler Fang to look for Zhong Ruyi, and they are now talking in the main hall of the Chen family.

"My master said that we need to order an extra 2,000 canned goods this month, including 1,500 each for pork jerky and meat floss, and 1,000 for chili sauce. We need to hurry and deliver them to the capital."

The person who said this was another middle-aged man who came with Butler Fang. He looked proud and complacent as he spoke.

Zhong Ruyi naturally knew what he was proud of. The Yu family was the first to do the canned food business with her, but now the Fang family is getting bigger and bigger than them, at a speed that no one could catch up with.

But this is not surprising. The Yu family’s business focus is not on canning. Their main industries are medicinal materials and silk.

Not to mention medicinal herbs, the silk business under the Yu family is incomparable to that of the Fang family. Otherwise, why is it said that the Yu family is the richest family in several nearby towns?

Now that they have finally caught up with the Yu family, Mr. Fang is smiling from ear to ear all day long at home.

So many cans were needed and time had to be quick, so Zhong Ruyi thought for a moment and said a time.

Butler Fang shook his head. "No, we have to hurry up. They are pushing us hard."

There is no way to rush the work. There are only about twenty people in the workshop and the amount that can be produced in a day is limited.

She didn't agree immediately, but said she would give an answer after seeing how much she could produce this month.

"How can this be possible?" Butler Fang was anxious. "We have finally established a connection with the capital. Miss Zhong, you can't let anything go wrong here!"

Zhong Ruyi smiled bitterly, "Uncle Fang, it's not that I'm not anxious, but the workers only have one pair of hands. Even if we hire more people, we have to give them time to get started. Otherwise, the canned food will be of poor quality and will be hard to sell."

Seeing this situation, Housekeeper Fang finally asked her to make the 4,000 cans as soon as possible.

After everyone left, Zhong Ruyi called Li Guihua and said, "Sister-in-law, ask the aunts in the workshop if there are any trustworthy people who can keep their mouths shut and recruit some more."

Most of the aunts and sisters-in-law in the village now work in the workshops, so if they want to recruit more workers, they can only recruit from outside.

Li Guihua responded and told him about the jar Li Zhi's father had just sent over. "His brother's child, the one called Li Yang, got beaten by the teacher and got a fever. His family went to the private school to make a scene. No wonder the teacher pretended to be sick and gave him a holiday."

"Fever? So serious." Zhong Ruyi didn't expect the matter to become so serious. It seemed that Master Zhou was in trouble now.

Meanwhile, Butler Fang and the middle-aged man who came to the workshop to discuss business left the village together. The middle-aged man looked unfriendly, "I just wanted to ask her to give the Yu family's canned food to us? Why did you stop me from saying it?"

Butler Fang really didn't understand why his master wanted his wife's brother to come and get involved. He responded cheerfully, "Uncle, you can't do business this way. Master Renyu is not a pushover. If he knew that we robbed his things, who do you think he would settle the score with? Besides, I know Miss Zhong well. Even if you said what you just said, she would not do what you said, so don't waste your time."

Hearing this, the uncle's face flashed with shame and anger, and he immediately shouted, "My brother-in-law thinks highly of her by doing this business with her, why is she so stubborn and doesn't want to make money?"

Butler Fang was secretly complaining in his heart. Even if people wanted to make money, they would not want to do something that would ruin their reputation. What good would they get from losing such a big client like Mr. Yu?

The two of them could not agree on anything, and as soon as they got off the carriage, they went their separate ways.

Just as my uncle was about to turn around to have a drink and ask a girl to accompany him, he was stopped from behind.

He turned around and looked at the person with an impatient look on his face, "Who are you? What do you want from me?"

The visitor smiled and bowed to the uncle, then bent over and replied, "I am from the Zhao family. I heard that you have been having some troubles recently, so our master specially asked me to come and talk to you."

In the evening, Aunt Tian went home and told her family at the dinner table that the workshop was hiring. The eldest daughter-in-law's eyes lit up:

"Mom, do you think I can do it? You know how I work, I'm very efficient!"

With a monthly salary of more than two taels, there is no one in the village who doesn't want to work there, but the position is full.

Now that they are finally hiring again, how could she not be tempted?

At the same time, the same situation was happening in other families in the village. Everyone wanted to work in the workshop.

The next morning, Zhong Ruyi looked at the people waiting at the workshop door and found that all five of them were from his village.

Aunt Tian’s eldest daughter-in-law was also among them, and her big teeth were showing when she smiled.

After telling the five people about the precautions in the workshop and the three-day trial period, she let Li Guihua take them in.

But these five people are still not enough, we still need more people.

At this time, Grandma Ji took Xiaoyu out to wash clothes and came back. Seeing her standing stupidly at the door, she greeted her with a smile.

Zhong Ruyi smiled. She really didn't expect that Ji Jiang's mother and daughter were Ji Grandma and Xiaoyu.

"Grandma Ji, are you used to living in the village? If you need any help, just tell us. We will help you if we can."

The old man's face was full of gratitude towards Zhong Ruyi. Even though he was in his sixties, he had never thought that one day he would be able to move to the village and live a quiet life.

Ji Xiaoyu was not reserved. She came up and hugged her waist, smiling and said, "Sister Ruyi, my father said that you are the noble person he met. You are the noble person of our whole family!"

Zhong Ruyi couldn't bear such praise, and waved her hands repeatedly, "This is all because of your father's good work and his hard work. How can it be attributed to me?"

She gently scratched the little girl's nose and said, "Your sister Cuicui has been in town for a while, otherwise she would definitely take you to meet other girls in the village."

Xiaoyu covered her nose and laughed, "Then I'll wait for Sister Cuicui to come back!"

When they went home for dinner, Zhong Ruyi asked about the escort of the goods this time, "How was it? Did you find out about the matter with Boss Zhao?"

Chen Dongzhi picked up a piece of braised pork with chopsticks for her and said in a deep voice, "Eat first, and I'll tell you after you finish eating."
