The general kneels on the washboard again

After Zhao Xiaoming found out that this group of brothers were secretly trying to trip him up, he got really angry and fired all those brothers with whom he had life-long friendship.

Zhao Xiaoming played the villain, and Yue Niang brought some money to express her condolences. She also revealed that she was a little afraid of Zhao Xiaoming and did not dare to invite them back.

They also understood Yue Niang's "difficulties", took the silver and happily put the matter behind them.

The tea garden is managed by Erya's parents, so there aren't any major problems.

Now Yue Niang has fired all the workers from the tea factory and spice garden, and now these two businesses can no longer operate normally.

Erya and Ruoyan were as anxious as ants on a hot pan, but Yue Niang was not anxious at all.

Ruoyan urged Yueniang, "Yueniang, we still have a mountain of orders. Why don't you find workers quickly? What are you going to do next month?"

Yue Niang was basking in the sun at the door comfortably. "Don't panic. Someone will come looking for you soon."

Ruoyan didn't know what Yue Niang was up to: "You mean they will come back? But the things they did are not acceptable."

Yue Niang kept it a secret: "No, no, you'll know soon. Before that, let's ask Accountant Gu and Qin Shaobai to come over."

Sure enough, that afternoon, the village chief from the neighboring village came to the door with several villagers and bags of gifts.

Yue Niang warmly went to the village entrance to greet them: "Village Chief, why did you come in person?"

The village chief looked a little surprised: "You knew we were coming?"

Yue Niang said familiarly, "I know. I've even prepared a feast at home, waiting for you to arrive."

Then, the village chief of another village came in the same way.

The news soon spread throughout Nanshan Village, and the villagers began to worry.

They all gathered at the village chief's house: "Is this girl determined not to use anyone from our Nanshan Village?"

The village chief puffed on his pipe and said, "You guys are just going too far. This is a business after all, and you guys did it all yourselves. Now I can't cover it up for you even if I want to."

A rational person said, "Actually, this is a good business. In recent years, when the harvest was poor, we relied on the spice and tea factories to support us. Even in the famine years, no one in our Nanshan Village starved to death."

"We all understand the logic. Now I regret it too. We have more people, so it's not that tiring. Besides, we can leave after finishing our work every day. There's no rush to play mahjong."

Yue Niang was chatting with these village chiefs at this time.

One of the village heads spoke first: "Miss Fu, I heard that your tea factory has not started work in the past few days and there are no workers. Look here, someone from our village wants to take this job."

Another followed closely: "We are from the village too, can you give us this opportunity?"

Seeing that everyone was eager to take the job, Yue Niang squeezed out two tears and said, "Well, to be honest, I gave them a long vacation these past two days. Maybe they were a little tired. The tea they roasted was not good and could not be sold. If you can guarantee that you can roast high-quality tea, I will naturally consider it."

As soon as he finished speaking, Village Chief Fang came in with the villagers of Nanshan Village.

The three village chiefs looked at each other and refused to give in.

Village Chief Fang returned the monthly silver that those people had taken to Yue Niang: "Yue Niang, we are all from the same village. There is no need to be so ruthless. They already know they are wrong."

Yue Niang looked at the disdainful Aunt Zhang and lowered her head: "Yue Niang, I was wrong, please forgive me."

Yue Niang snorted coldly: "That's not necessary. My small place can't accommodate such a big Buddha."

Aunt Zhang became even more humble: "That's not what I meant, Yue Niang, I was really wrong. I promise to make tea well in the future and this will never happen again."

This was Yue Niang's goal today. Now that she had achieved her goal, there was no need to be too aggressive: "Okay, I'll give you one more chance."

Yue Niang winked at Gu Xiu Fu who was standing in front of the door, and Gu Xiu Fu came in with a stack of papers for everyone in Nanshan Village.

Yue Niang looked at them confused and said kindly, "This is called an attendance sheet. It's basically the same as before. You'll record your time and quantity every day, but there are a few more things. First, the amount of tea you waste each day will be deducted from your final total.

There are also high-quality and low-quality teas. The top three producers of high-quality tea each month will receive additional silver rewards."

Everyone accepted it and pressed their seal.

Yue Niang took the stack of deeds and examined them. "Well, let the village chief and Aunt Fang take care of it. However, if you have too much waste or low-quality tea, we'll deduct your money. Is that acceptable?"

The village chief and Aunt Fang agreed without hesitation: "Of course, we will definitely manage it well."

The remaining two village chiefs saw that the dust had settled here and were about to take their gifts and return with the villagers.

Yue Niang stopped them and said, "Two village chiefs, please stay. We haven't finished discussing our business yet."

The head of Zhoujia Village said, "Since you've already found the workers at the tea factory, is there any need for us to talk?"

Yue Niang said sincerely, "No, Village Chief, this is the tea factory in Nanshan Village. I plan to open two more tea factories in your villages."

"What?!" everyone was shocked.

Qin Shaobai once again looked at the little girl in front of him. She had some big ambitions.

In fact, Yue Niang’s ambition has always been to give up, and now she can give up.

The two village chiefs talked with Yue Niang until late at night before leaving.

Qin Shaobai came in suddenly: "Yue Niang, when can I go back to Rongzhou?"

Yue Niang raised her head and glanced at him: "How have you been studying lately?"

Qin Shaobai's face turned pale: "Yueniang, let me tell you, there is a monster in Guangren Hall."

"What monster?" Yue Niang asked casually, looking at the account book in her hand.

Qin Shaobai walked closer and said, "They have a dungeon where a strange monster is imprisoned. The monster is infected with all kinds of poisons. There's even a man's, uh, thing in that dungeon."

Yue Niang frowned: "That thing? What?" After saying it, Yue Niang thought it through and her face turned red.

"They are doctors. These things are normal. You should learn them well." Yue Niang tried her best to suppress her blush.

Qin Shaobai was about to cry: "Please let me go, I'm just an ordinary person, my parents are still waiting for me to get married and carry on the family line."

Yue Niang knew he was mistaken: "What are you thinking? Do you think I sent you to Guangren Hall just to make you a eunuch?"

"What else? Besides teaching me how to identify medicinal herbs and memorize pharmacology every day, they also let me stay in the dungeon by myself for half an hour. If I have any questions, I can come and talk to them."

It seems that he has been scared quite a lot these days.

Yue Niang looked at Qin Shaobai's suspicious expression and said, "Let me ask you a question."

Qin Shaobai pulled a chair over and sat down: "Ask."

Yue Niang said coldly, "What would happen if someone killed your grandmother and you caught him?"

Qin Shaobai's emotions suddenly became intense: "I will tear him into pieces."

Yue Niang continued, "The monster you mentioned, one bullied me, and the other directly poisoned my grandmother to death."

Qin Shaobai's pupils trembled: "What?"

Yue Niang recounted the whole story of "that thing" and also told the story of the medicine man.

"That's what it is, what do you think now?"

Qin Shaobai's face was completely bloodless: "I can understand your feelings, but isn't this too cruel?"

Yue Niang stood up and walked to the window: "Cruel? How many innocent children and women did that evil man kill? Besides, wasn't that evil woman cruel to my deceased grandmother? Her life had just started to get better, and now it's gone forever."

Yue Niang wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes without leaving a trace.

Qin Shaobai also stopped talking about this topic.

After calming down, Yue Niang said, "We are now on the same boat. They are willing to show you what is inside the dungeon. This is considered to be the best they have learned. If you don't want to learn anymore, I will tell them as soon as possible."

Qin Shaobai didn't struggle too much: "I will continue to study. Father has said long ago that it's time for me to support half of the Qin family."

Yue Niang nodded and said, "That's good. I asked you to come back this time because I want you to go to Zhoujia Village to help out for a few days. I will let Sister Erya go with you when the time comes."

"I understand." Qin Shaobai responded.

The yard is very big and the moon is very far away tonight.
