After Zhou's mother breathed a sigh of relief, she led her two daughters-in-law back home.

Mother Zhou took Chen Xiuying's hand and comforted her, "Don't listen to that old hag's nonsense. No matter whether you can have children in the future, I will not let Dajiang divorce you.

My mother is also an experienced person. It is not easy for a woman after getting married. She has to do housework, give birth to children and take care of them. Our Dajiang is still studying, and you have to earn money to support the family, which is even more difficult.

Besides, you two are still young, how do you know that you can't have children in the future? Don't worry, even if you really can't have children, your mother will make the decision for you, and Dajiang won't dare to divorce you. Our family is not that kind of ungrateful person. "

Chen Xiuying's eyes welled up with tears after hearing these words. Her mother, who was sewing cushions in the room, came out when she heard the words and asked, "What's wrong?"

Zhou's mother explained, "Today I went to Erwang's house to order chickens and ducks. Erwang's mother told me that Dazhu's mother asked her to speak well of us last time, hoping that we would hire her for help. We didn't use her, so Dazhu's mother has been holding a grudge against us. Everyone in the village is saying that Xiuying was born to give birth to a daughter, but she only laid one egg, and that Dajiang would divorce her sooner or later..."

I got furious when I heard that, so I went to her house to confront her. But outside the courtyard wall, I heard her still arguing with Dali's mother about you. I couldn't win against two of them, so I came back to call Zhang.

Zhang continued, "You were right to call me. It's just that Dali's mother ran away quickly. Otherwise, I would have scolded her too. You old whore who goes from house to house, only protecting your own children and abusing other people's own sons. You have a bad conscience and yet you want to frame you. Bah!

Neither of them is a good person, so you should not use them!"

Chen's mother: "Next time you have a quarrel, call me and I will go and listen to vent my anger.

The mouse has a skin, but the man has no manners. If the man has no manners, why not die! The mouse has a body, but the man has no manners. If the man has no manners, why not die quickly!

Even Chen's mother, a cultured person, was so angry that she started cursing.

Anger quietly asked his sister: "What did grandma mean? I didn't understand a word."

Zhou Sisi: "The general meaning is, you see, mice have skin and manners, but humans don't. People like them might as well die quickly. What's the point of living?"

Ang'er, grandma is still so cruel!

Seeing An Ge'er's thoughtful expression, Zhou Sisi said, "Children are not allowed to learn swear words, do you hear me?"

Ang'er didn't answer but instead said to his friends, "Did you hear what your sister said? Children are not allowed to learn to curse."

Tietou and Suotou ignored them completely. Do you need to learn how to curse? It's something you're born with.

Dabao looked at Erbao and said, "Did grandma scold me? I didn't understand."

Chen Nan covered Chen Bei's ears and said, "We've forgotten what the aunt said about the old whore and the little bastard!"

You naughty boy, you forgot and still brought it up?

Only the little lotus said nothing. She lowered her head and concentrated on painting the lotus. She wanted to paint the lotus beautifully so that she would become beautiful when she grew up.

In the evening, Master Chen and his son-in-law Zhou Dajiang returned home. Anger ran to his grandfather and uncle to complain, saying that the bad people in the village had framed his aunt. "She said that my aunt was destined to give birth to a daughter, but she only laid one egg, so she would be divorced sooner or later!"

Grandpa Chen was so angry that his beard stood up.

Zhou Dajiang was also so angry that he laughed, "There are really all kinds of birds in the forest. Isn't she angry that the construction site didn't ask her to cook? Let's go to the factory and ask her to cook tomorrow. Let her be so angry!"

"The factory is about to start construction?" Chen Xiuying was very calm. In modern times, there are many only children. Zhou Dajiang is not in a hurry, so who are they? Say whatever you want, just treat it as a mosquito bite.

"Well, the people from Datong Trading Company have arrived, and the contract has been re-signed. After we go to the county government office to file the documents tomorrow, we can start building the factory.

However, Datong Trading Company wanted to place an order before the New Year, ideally for more than 5,000 sets. This meant they couldn't wait until the factory was built before starting production, as that would be too late.

I plan to rent the old ancestral hall in the village for a few months, gather a team to do the processing there, and then move back after the factory is built." Zhou Dajiang had clearly already planned it all out.

Chen Xiuying nodded in approval. "That's great. We can handle both orders and factory construction without any delays. How many people have been sent from Datong Trading Company? When do you plan to start hiring?"

"Don't mention it. There are only three people here: a production manager, a salesperson, and a bookkeeper. The rest have to be recruited here."

Moreover, we have to recruit people quickly. There are less than three and a half months until the end of the year, and there are still various preparations and trainings to be done in the early stages... It will probably take another half a month to twenty days before we can start production."

By this calculation, time is really tight. On average, we have to make two to three thousand sets per month.

Zhou Dajiang didn't even bother to eat properly. He ate a quick bite and went to rent a room at the village head's house. The old ancestral hall had been unused for a long time and had been sitting there idle anyway. Village head Zhang readily rented it to Zhou Dajiang and asked him what he planned to do with it.

Zhou Dajiang was just looking for his help, so he told him about building a factory and recruiting workers.

When Zhang heard this, he thought it was great news! He asked Zhou Dajiang to go home and write a job posting for him. He would then hold a job fair for the villagers. Since there wasn't much work available right now, and every household had some free time, he thought they could recruit them all right away.

Zhou Dajiang thought, "That's great! I don't need to go home to write it. I can just write it at Zhang's house." He borrowed a piece of paper and a pen and wrote down the number of employees, job requirements, and salary and benefits according to the work content.

Village Chief Zhang didn't understand a few things, so he asked, "What do you mean by no upper limit?"

"Oh, I'm planning to adopt piecework wages. I'll pay you for each piece you do, and then, after you reach a certain amount, there'll be an additional bonus. That way, those who can work will earn more, and those who can't will earn less. The more you work, the more you earn."

"This method is good. It prevents people from being lazy and not working. Then what are the employee benefits you wrote about?" Village Chief Zhang was very careful. He wanted to understand everything before telling everyone.

"After becoming a formal employee of the factory, you can take one day off every seven days. During holidays, the factory, like the government, not only provides holidays, but also prepares holiday gifts for everyone."

After Zhou Dajiang finished speaking, Zhang, the village chief, was jealous. "That's a good job! Do you think your brother is the right material for this job?"

Village head Zhang’s son is called Zhang Dazhuang, an eighteen-year-old boy. As his name suggests, he is tall and strong, and looks quite smart.

Zhou Dajiang had a clear goal when it came to recruiting: as long as the person wasn't lazy or too dumb to work, they'd be fine. And besides, the son of a village leader, as long as he wasn't dumb, was a good fit.

"Uncle Zhang, don't worry about the child being wronged. Just leave him with me. I'll take care of him more in the future."

That means he will be promoted in the future. Village head Zhang was very happy and asked his son to go forward and thank Zhou Dajiang, and asked him to help more actively with Zhou family affairs in the future.

The next evening, Zhou Dajiang went to the county government office to prepare the case, and returned to Qingshangou with the manager of Datong Trading Company. The two managers were one tall and one short, both relatives of Manager Xue. The tall and thin one was called Xue Jin, who was in charge of production, and the short and fat one was called Xue Ren, who was in charge of sales.

The three of them went straight to the home of Zhang, the village head.

Village Chief Zhang: "That's great! We have work to do in the village! I'll call a general meeting right away."

The villagers were very excited after hearing the job recruitment information promoted by Zhang, the village head. "This is such a good thing! Dajiang is such a kind kid. He took us with him when he made cold noodles some time ago, and now he's taking us with him when he opened the factory. He's really a lucky star for our village!"

So everyone responded and signed up to participate.

The two Xue managers and Zhou Dajiang interviewed together and, in addition to Zhang Dazhuang, recruited six blacksmiths, five carpenters and four assembly workers.

The blacksmith was Zhou Dahe, the carpenter was Tian Youcai, the assembly master was Zhou Dahai, Zhou Dajiang was responsible for technical guidance, Xue Jin was responsible for production management, Xue Ren was responsible for logistics and sales, and the accountant who was not there was responsible for finance. The framework of the factory's first batch of employees was thus set up.

Zhou Dajiang looked at the enthusiastic crowd with hope in his heart. He believed that as long as everyone worked together, the orders would be successfully completed before the New Year and everyone would have a happy New Year together.
