Chen didn't know that Jiang was preparing a speech. Seeing that Jiang didn't speak for a long time, she simply took off her mask, took out a handful of pumpkin seeds from her purse and ate them. She also asked generously, "Do you want to eat them?"

Jiang took a deep breath and said seriously, "Sister-in-law, have you finished your work?"

Chen shook her head: "It's early in the morning, and we've just started work."

"Then did you report to the team leader before leaving your workstation?"

Chen was stunned: "No."

Jiang pinched her fingertips calmly, trying to suppress her nervousness, and said coldly: "Sister-in-law, you left your workstation without permission. According to the regulations, you will be fined 20 cents."

In order to prevent people from joking around and slacking off, Xu Yingtao set many rules from the first day of setting up the workshop. One of them is that before leaving the post for some reason, one must inform the team leader, otherwise one will be fined.

Chen's eyes widened, and she looked at Jiang in disbelief: "Sister-in-law, are you serious?"

Jiang did not answer her, but turned around and called Aunt Cuixiang, the team leader of the Castanopsis oleifera workshop.

"Sister Jiang, what do you want to talk to me about?" There was a barely perceptible hint of respect and flattery in Aunt Cuixiang's voice.

After all, in the eyes of all the villagers, Jiang's status is no longer what it used to be because of Xu Yingtao.

Jiang didn't beat around the bush and got straight to the point: "Sister Cuixiang, my sister-in-law left her workstation without reporting and was fined twenty cents. Please make a note of this. If other people have violated work regulations, you should also make a note of this and report it to Yingtao at the end of the month."

Upon hearing this, Aunt Cuixiang looked up in surprise, her gaze quickly moving between Jiang and Chen, and then she made a decisive decision.

"Okay, I've written it down!"

Chen was so shocked that her eyes almost popped out of their sockets, and she didn't even notice the melon seed shells stuck to her lips.

Jiang glanced at her and continued, "Yingtao said that our workshop has strict requirements on food hygiene. No one is allowed to take off the mask in the workshop without permission. Chen violated the regulations again and will be fined another twenty cents."

Aunt Cuixiang nodded without thinking: "Okay."

Those who could become team leaders were all the smart ones selected by Mrs. Zhou from the village. Seeing Jiang's attitude, they understood that she was deliberately letting Chen take the lead, so they just watched and didn't ask any more questions.

Chen finally came to his senses.

Her sister-in-law came here specifically to embarrass her!

After a little thought, Chen immediately figured out the whole thing. It must be because of that stupid woman from the Wang family.

Thinking about how Aunt Wang humiliated her in public yesterday, Chen was furious.

Just as Chen was about to get angry, she heard Jiang raise her voice.

"In addition, when we were forming the groups, we asked for everyone's opinions. Cherry said at that time that once a position is decided, it cannot be transferred without special reasons, otherwise it will be dismissed. Yesterday, Chen violated the relevant regulations. Considering that she was a first-time offender, she was only given a verbal warning and fined fifty cents. If a similar situation happens again in the future, Cherry said that it will not be tolerated."

Jiang did not lower her voice, she even raised it deliberately so that everyone in the workshop could hear her words clearly. They could not help but smack their lips in surprise and felt a sense of fear at the same time.

The second branch of the Xie family was ruthless in punishing even their own relatives, so they would be even less lenient towards outsiders like them.

Those women who were originally a little sneaky and cunning suddenly became more skillful when they heard the words.

They are just lazy, not stupid. If they lose such a good job, not only will they regret it, but they will also be blamed by the whole family.

When Chen heard the word "dismissal", his anger was like a basin of ice water suddenly poured over his head. Then all his arrogance disappeared and he shut his mouth obediently.

If someone else said this, she would still dare to make a fuss, but everyone here has witnessed Xu Yingtao's methods with their own eyes. That girl usually looks happy when she meets everyone, but when it comes to matters concerning the workshop, it is no exaggeration to say that she is very picky.

Just when the workshop was just starting to run, someone was very messy when peeling konjac skin. After Xu Yingtao reminded him once, the person still didn't change. Xu Yingtao said calmly: "I will pay you this month's salary, and you don't need to come in the future."

The woman who was eliminated first threw a tantrum and cried, and later tried to ask Mrs. Zhou to mediate, but none of these could shake Xu Yingtao's determination to expel her.

From then on, everyone in the village knew that Xu Yingtao would not tolerate any sand in her eyes when it came to food.

Although the person speaking was Jiang, she represented the will of Xu Yingtao, so how could Chen dare to make a fuss?

But she felt wronged and angry. After lunch, she cried in front of her family at the dinner table, choking up as she recounted the humiliation and embarrassment she had suffered in the past two days. She also said that the past two days were too embarrassing and she didn't want to go to the workshop to work again because she was too ashamed.

She thought she could get some comfort from her family, but unexpectedly no one tried to comfort her. Instead, they all accused her of making trouble.

Xie Daniu: "Who gave you the guts to use the name of the Second House to show off? Do you really think that the villagers have forgotten how mean you were to the Second House in the past?"

Xie Zhao: "Mom, things have just started to get better at home, so please stay calm and stop causing trouble."

Xie Cai: "It would be fine if you didn't help the Second House, but why did you rush to cause trouble for the Young Master? She has given our family enough face by not firing you."

Xie Jin: "Mom, I'm learning composting from my young master recently, please don't ruin my plan!"

Xie Bao: "Konjac is delicious. If you offend your cousin's wife, you will never be able to eat it again!"

Wu Chunhua lowered her eyes and said nothing, just praying silently that her mother-in-law would not do anything naughty.

Now, in addition to Xie Bao, several of her brothers-in-law, including her father-in-law, were fortunate enough to be assigned jobs. Even she got a job in the fern root workshop, earning a full 600 coins a month, which greatly alleviated the anxiety and inferiority caused by her long-term inability to conceive.

But if the mother-in-law has a brain accident and becomes unable to get over it, then their family’s good days will probably be over again.

Chen was suddenly condemned by the whole family and was so shocked that she forgot to continue crying.

After a long while, she sniffed hard, pointed at the whole family one by one, and said fiercely in a muffled voice: "Okay, you are so cruel to me for money, very good! Just wait for me!"

After saying that, Chen stood up suddenly and rushed out of the house without looking back.

The first time is the second time, and this time Wu Chunhua didn't even need her father-in-law's instructions, she just went after her mother-in-law.

As expected, Chen went straight to the thatched cottage at the foot of the mountain.

When she walked out of the courtyard gate, her originally tense and angry expression instantly changed into a joyful look, just like the face-changing in Sichuan Opera.

"Hey, are my sister-in-law and Cherry home?"

Hearing the voice, Xu Yingtao hurriedly called out to Xu Youqian who was about to fight, while Jiang stood up to greet them.

As soon as she saw Jiang, the smile on Chen's face suddenly became much brighter.

Jiang couldn't help but mutter to herself that Cherry was really amazing. At noon, she was still a little nervous. She was worried that Chen would make trouble after she had embarrassed her in public.

Xu Yingtao said, "No, my aunt may look crazy, but she is actually very smart. She might come to show her loyalty again."

Jiang didn't believe it at first, but when she saw Chen's smile so wide that her teeth were showing, she wavered.
