God's Daughter, Queen of Miraculous Medicine
Chapter 18 Looking for an embroiderer
In the evening, as the sun sets, you and Su return home exhausted. As soon as you enter the house, you can't wait to discuss the affairs of Yanwan Embroidery Workshop with your mother.
"Mom, I have an idea and I want to ask people in the village to help me do it." Your eyes are full of anticipation.
"Oh? Do you need help with these simple things? Mother can do it herself." Mother looked at you in confusion.
"It's like this, mother. Aren't the patterns on our purses and handkerchiefs very novel and unique? In the future, our Yanwan Embroidery Workshop will surely become more and more popular, and we will get more and more orders. I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to handle it alone. So, I would like to ask the sisters in the village to help embroider some purses and handkerchiefs. Of course, we will pay them for their work." You explained seriously.
My mother hesitated for a moment and said, "I can do these jobs myself, why should I trouble others?"
"Mom, your craftsmanship is indeed superb, but as the business expands, we need more manpower. Besides, mom, you have more important tasks!" you said with a smile.
"A more important task?" Mother asked curiously.
"Yes, mother. Your needlework is so good, especially embroidering clothes, which is really unique! I think I can let you focus on this aspect in the future and bring your talent to the fullest. I believe that those who wear the clothes made by you will feel extremely happy." You praised.
"But..." Mother seemed to still have some concerns.
"Okay, mother, let's decide it this way! Don't worry, it won't be too tiring. With everyone's help, our embroidery workshop will definitely develop better." You said confidently.
Mother smiled and nodded. "Okay, since you have made all the arrangements, I will follow your instructions. It's just hard work, child."
"It's not hard. As long as Yanwan Embroidery Workshop can get better and better, everything is worth it. Thank you for your support, mother!" You hugged your mother tightly, your heart full of gratitude.
"Mother, Aunt Li and Aunt Lu are really good at embroidery! And, you see, their skills are really outstanding! Let's think about who else we can ask for help?"
"Yes, you are right, honey. Aunt Li and your Aunt Lu are both good at embroidery. In addition, your cousin Lu Yuxuan is also a good hand. But, your eldest aunt is really notorious for being sarcastic! I am worried... This matter may not be easy to handle."
"Mother, we have found an easy job for them. I believe that my aunt will agree to this for the sake of money."
"Yeah! I hope!"
"Mother, let's clear out a room to run an embroidery workshop temporarily, and then build another one when the business grows bigger. And when we are looking for an embroiderer, we must pay special attention to her character! After all, a person's character is crucial! This time, let's give priority to those who have a close relationship with us and are reliable. In this way, cooperation will be more pleasant and smoother!"
"Okay, let your father take care of freeing up the room. As for the embroiderers, I'll ask them if they're willing!" Su looked at Lu Tingyan lovingly.
"Mom, ask them to come over to discuss it in the evening. We have to sign a confidentiality agreement. After all, the embroidery patterns we make are novel and unique. It would be bad if others learned them." Lin Yan said to Su seriously.
"Okay, mother understands." Su nodded lovingly.
In the evening, Aunt Lu, Aunt Li and others came to Lin Yan's house as promised.
"Yan'er, your mother told me that you were looking for an embroiderer." Aunt Lu asked first.
"Yes! Yan girl! Is there anything we can help you with?" Aunt Li also echoed.
"Aunts and sisters, my mother and I have taken on a batch of embroidery orders. Considering that everyone has a lot of free time on weekdays, if you are willing to use this free time to do some embroidery work, it can not only kill time, but also earn some extra income to supplement the family expenses!" When saying this, you emphasized with a serious face: "However, this recruitment of embroiderers requires the signing of a confidentiality agreement. If someone violates the agreement, they will be liable for ten times the liquidated damages!"
Aunt Lu, Aunt Li and your cousin trusted your family very much and expressed their willingness to sign the agreement without hesitation; while the others seemed a little hesitant.
At this time, you looked at them and said in a firm tone: "In addition to wages, we will also distribute generous bonuses at the end of the year! This agreement involves the vital interests of each other. Please rest assured that if we cannot fulfill our promise, you can go to the government to report us." Hearing this, the people who were originally hesitant also signed the contract one after another.
"Okay! Once the required materials arrive tomorrow, we can officially start construction! I look forward to our pleasant cooperation and creating a better future together!" You look forward to it with joy.
"Sister Yan'er, you are amazing. You can start a business at such a young age." Your cousin Lu Yuxuan pinched your cheek and said
"Sister Xuan, Yan'er has grown up and is not a child anymore." Lu Tingyan said embarrassedly. Your cousin giggled, and everyone was praising you.
At this point everyone thanked and left.
One day, Lu Tingyan and Su were busy in the embroidery workshop when they heard a commotion outside. They walked out of the workshop and saw that it was Wang from the village who came to the door with a group of women.
Wang was a well-known gossiper in the village. She liked to gossip and stir up trouble. When she saw Lu Tingyan and Su, she said in a sarcastic tone, "Hey, isn't this Lu Tingyan and her useless mother? What, have you become rich and opened an embroidery workshop?"
Lu Tingyan frowned and ignored Wang's provocation. She knew what kind of person Wang was, so she didn't want to argue with her.
Su looked at Wang angrily, with a hint of dissatisfaction in her tone: "Wang, why do you have to speak so harshly? We opened an embroidery workshop just to help everyone make more money and increase their income. Is there anything wrong with that?"
Wang sneered and responded with disdain, "Humph, there is nothing wrong with you opening an embroidery workshop, but don't be too happy too soon! Why don't you want me to join, but only invite people who have a good relationship with you? What's the reason behind this?"
Lu Tingyan looked at Wang expressionlessly and said calmly: "As for why you were not chosen, don't you have an idea in your mind?"
"We have limited manpower now, and we only need to meet current demand. Moreover, these embroidery works are relatively simple, and the workload is not large. What's wrong with this?" Lu Tingyan continued to explain.
After hearing this, Wang snorted and turned her head to the side, muttering, "Humph, you are clearly taking this opportunity to take revenge, just to settle your personal grudges!"
Lu Tingyan felt helpless. She sighed and said to everyone earnestly, "Please don't misunderstand us. When the business scale expands, we will definitely continue to recruit people in the village. So everyone has the opportunity to participate. Please be patient."
After hearing what Lu Tingyan said, Wang said disapprovingly: "Humph, that sounds nice. You recruited women from the village to help with embroidery just to make money for yourselves. I think you just want to use us poor people to seek benefits for yourself."
After hearing what Wang said, Su was so angry that her face turned pale. She was about to open her mouth to refute, but was stopped by Lu Tingyan.
Lu Tingyan said calmly, "Wang, please don't spit blood at me. We recruited women from the village to help with embroidery out of good intentions. If you don't want to help, we won't force you. But please don't talk nonsense here and affect our embroidery business."
Wang Shi saw that Lu Tingyan was determined and didn't dare to say anything. She glared at Lu Tingyan and Su Shi fiercely, then turned around and left with a group of women.
After Wang left, Lu Tingyan and Su looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly.
"Don't worry about her, just do our own thing." Su comforted.
Lu Tingyan nodded, "Yes, mother, I know. We can't let her affect our mood."
You believe that the scale of the embroidery workshop will gradually expand, and everyone's life will become better and better. Lu Tingyan looked at Wang's back as she left, and sighed secretly in her heart. She knew that Wang was a difficult person, but she didn't want to conflict with Wang. She just hoped that Wang would not cause trouble again in the future.
