"Tell me what happened?"

Zhong Ruyi brought the two of them to the tree at the entrance of the workshop and looked at them seriously. Aunt Tian, ​​Mrs. Wu, and Aunt Zhao stood beside her.

Sun secretly pushed Aunt Tian's eldest daughter-in-law and asked her to speak first. Although she kept saying that the owner of the workshop was her relative, she was still a little scared if the matter really got out of hand. Not to mention anything else, the young lady of the Zhong family looked as if she wanted to eat them.

Seeing that the two men were pushing and shoving but not talking, Zhong Ruyi laughed in anger, "Since you don't want to talk, forget it. Come with me to settle your wages now, and you don't have to come here anymore!"

Upon hearing this, Sun and Aunt Tian's eldest daughter-in-law became anxious and quickly told the whole story like pouring beans.

Zhong Ruyi glanced at the two of them and sneered, "You are the first ones who dared to cause trouble in the workshop! Do you know how much trouble I have had to deal with because of your little conflict?"

"You still dare to attack? If anything happens to Lu Shengnan today, I wonder how you will compensate him!"

After scolding the two troublemakers, she looked at the three team leaders next to her, "And you! As the team leader of a team, you can't even handle such a small matter of conflict between workers. Not only did you quarrel, but you also let people fight?"

The three of them lowered their heads in shame. They were not embarrassed at being lectured by someone younger than them. Instead, they felt more guilty for not doing their job well and being scolded.

After scolding these people, Zhong Ruyi ordered Sun and Aunt Tian's eldest daughter-in-law to be responsible for the hygiene of the workshop this month. She would check it and deduct 250 coins from their wages this month. This money would be used to buy Lu Shengnan some good food to replenish his health.

"Ah! So many!?"

Sun wailed and tried to rush forward to beg for mercy, but Zhong Ruyi dodged and said, "You should be thankful that Lu Shengnan is fine, otherwise this wouldn't be as simple as just the two hundred and fifty coins!"

"Also, this is the first and last time. If you dare to cause trouble in the workshop again, I will not only punish you, but also anyone in the workshop who has any connection with you. You will all pack up and leave!"

After giving the warning, Zhong Ruyi went straight back to the workshop, leaving the three team leaders to give another lecture to the two troublemakers.

There were a few aunts in the yard who did not stop working, but their work was obviously much slower than usual. They pricked up their ears to hear the conversation outside, but when they saw her come back, they quickly lowered their heads and continued to work hard.

Zhong Ruyi frowned and looked at them. She felt that people in the workshop were restless and no one had the heart to work. This would not work. She had to hold a meeting for them.

Lu Shengnan had already sat up in the room. When he saw her come in, he wanted to get out of bed to greet her. After being stopped, the woman with a shy smile involuntarily reached out and touched her belly.

"This is five hundred coins deducted from Sun and Qian's wages this month. You can use it to buy some good things to replenish your body. You don't have to work this month. The workshop will pay you the basic salary. You can come back to work when you are better."

Zhong Ruyi told her about the arrangements one by one, and even took out a piece of silver from her pocket, "The extra money is the workshop's consolation money for you, take it home and cut some meat and stew some bone soup for nourishment. The doctor just said that you have only been pregnant for more than a month, so you should be more careful."

Upon hearing this, Lu Shengnan refused to accept the money and said anxiously that he would be able to come to work tomorrow. "Boss, I don't have anything to do. I can just take a day off today. You don't need to give me a day off."

She was so anxious that she wanted to get out of bed, but Zhao Eryue stopped her, "Mom, you should listen to your boss. The doctor just said that you need to rest well."

The little girl had a worried look on her face and looked at Zhong Ruyi for help.

Receiving the look from the little girl, she smiled and said, "Er Yue's mother, you should stay at home and take good care of yourself. Otherwise, people will say that I am a scoundrel who can't even let my workers take leave when they are unwell. Pregnant women have privileges here. Don't worry about what others say. Just focus on taking care of your baby."

No matter how Lu Shengnan refused, the matter was settled. Zhao Duoyu heard about it when he came back from the fields. With a happy face, he took his pregnant wife and young daughter back to his newly built house.

When Li Guihua came back from the next village, she heard about the commotion in the workshop. Several team leaders were unable to control the situation, causing Lu Shengnan to fall. She looked very unhappy.

In the evening, when it was almost time to get off work, Zhong Ruyi asked them not to leave yet, as she had a few words to say.

After everyone lined up, he stood in front of them and cleared his throat before speaking, "Aunties, I'm not very good at sweet talk. I don't want something like today to happen again. It won't be so easy next time. I'll let the troublemakers pay their wages and leave! There are so many of you, and I hired each of you after interviewing them. There's no such thing as backdoor dealings."

Speaking of going through the back door, Sun and Aunt Tian's eldest daughter-in-law knew that this was because of the quarrel they had today. They lowered their heads, not daring to look at the expressions of the people around them.

"I have already punished what happened today. I hope that the aunts and sisters-in-law can get along well in the workshop in the future. If you have any problems, just raise them directly. There is no need to keep them in your heart and make the relationship between the workers bad. If you feel embarrassed, you can come to me or Manager Li privately."

She just said a few words casually, and there was nothing to say about other aspects. The aunts worked diligently and the atmosphere in the workshop was generally good.

It’s just that ten more people have come recently, and when there are too many people, conflicts are obvious. No matter whether it’s men or women, as long as they live under the same roof, it’s easy for trouble to arise.

She had said all that needed to be said, and as it was getting dark, she sent everyone back.

She was about to go back after finishing work at the workshop when Xiaoxue came over and said, "Sister-in-law! Mother asked you to go back for dinner."

"Okay, I'll be right back!" Zhong Ruyi responded, and told her sister-in-law to give Lu Shengnan a basic monthly salary of forty cents a day.

Li Guihua agreed and carefully looked at her expression. "Today's incident is all my fault for not explaining it well. Qian and my sister-in-law had a dispute just because of a few empty cans. Next time, I will let them..."

Zhong Ruyi interrupted her directly, "Sister-in-law, there is no such thing as sister-in-law or sister-in-law when working in the workshop. You see, don't you always call me boss? It will be the same in the future. No matter who makes a mistake, you can't let it go just because of a slight relationship with someone. I was lenient with what I did today, and there won't be a next time."

She said this directly because she didn't want her sister-in-law to use her connections with her mother's family to cause any bad practices in the workshop. It would be better to nip such practices in the bud as soon as possible.

Of course Li Guihua knew that her younger sister was an ruthless person. She looked gentle and easy to talk to, but in fact, if she was really upset, she would start swearing no matter how good their relationship was.

She nodded quickly. There was really no need to make things unpleasant because of her sister-in-law and her younger sister. She was not a fool and could tell who was more important at a glance.
