Rich Peasant Girl: The General's Wife Has Space

Chapter 136 Villagers’ Thoughts

The Xiao family was in great joy, and the villagers were jealous and envious of the Xiao family's money flowing like water.

What's more, the Xiao family is so grateful. Aunt Wang next door has a good relationship with his family and often helps them. Isn't this a good thing?

I heard that they make a lot of money just by supplying tofu to Yunkelai, and they also send soy products to Qilixiang. The Wang family also benefited from it. Haven’t you seen that they sent their son to school?

But no one helped the Xiao family when they were in trouble. It was no use regretting it now. Fortunately, the Xiao family did not forget their roots and gave job opportunities to people from their own village first. People from other villages were so envious.

This also greatly satisfied the villagers' hearts. People are complicated. When they see that they have something that others don't, they naturally feel superior psychologically, and they are not so jealous of the Xiao family.

Moreover, the workshops in the village were bustling with activity.

The workshop was expanded again, and as the orders increased, the young people in the village now had work to do again.

Xiao Wan also gave the female workers in the workshop an extra month's salary. This month's monthly salary, plus overtime pay and bonuses, the female workers earned a considerable amount.

Now when female workers return home, they are welcomed by everyone and their status at home has been greatly improved.

Even if the sister-in-law tried to act like a troublemaker and offend her mother-in-law, it was useless. The sisters-in-law did not dare to make trouble for her. Her parents-in-law were completely on her side, not to mention her husband, who was even more considerate.

The female workers also became tough at home, but they did not say a word about what happened in the workshop. They were also very frustrated, but they did not dare to breach the contract after signing it.

At every morning meeting, Aunt Xiao would emphasize this point once again, and the female workers naturally did not dare to violate the contract, otherwise they would lose the job they had worked so hard to get, as there were so many people waiting outside.

But there are always people who challenge the bottom line and are determined to commit suicide. This person is Yao Linlin, the younger sister of the village head's daughter-in-law Yao.

She started working after the workshop was expanded. Yao felt sorry for her sister's family's hard life. Her children were grown up and the family was not well off, so she begged the head of the village to find the Xiao family and only then was she able to get in.

Yao Linlin, however, was ungrateful. Relying on the fact that her sister was the daughter-in-law of the village head, she was a little arrogant in the workshop and did not work diligently. When she first heard about signing the contract, she was very reluctant.

But Aunt Xiao is not a pushover. No matter who comes, they have to sign a contract before starting work.

Yao Linlin signed the contract reluctantly, thinking that it didn't matter whether she signed it or not. Even if she didn't comply, it wouldn't matter. She and the Li Zheng were in-laws. Couldn't the Xiao family even give her a little face?

Yao Linlin was snooping around in the workshop. Xue Yujuan noticed it and told Aunt Xiao. Aunt Xiao said she knew about it and became alert secretly.

Yao Linlin was unaware of this. She was from another village and usually lived in the village head's house. Aunt Xiao discovered that she and Zhao Cuihua from the village

Until one day, she followed Yao Linlin and saw her whispering with Zhao Cuihua from the village, and she quickly told Xiao Wan about it.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Wan smiled after hearing this and said to her aunt, "Aunt, I understand. You and Sister Yujuan have worked hard during this period. This is my thank you gift to Sister Yujuan. She works very hard on weekdays."

After that, she asked Tian Shuang to take out a plum blossom silver hairpin and a solid gold bracelet and gave them to Aunt Xiao San, then said with a smile: "Aunt Xiao, the gold bracelet is for you. You have worked hard and made great contributions. The silver hairpin is for Sister Yujuan to wear for fun."

Third Aunt Xiao was so frightened that she refused to accept it. Xiao Wan forced it on her and said in a sad tone, "Third Aunt, don't you accept this little gift from your niece?"

Aunt Xiao could only take it over: "I thank you on behalf of Yujuan, Wan'er, if you hadn't asked her to come to work, she wouldn't even have a dowry when she gets married."

Forget about marrying into her parents' family. Working in a workshop, Yujuan might be able to find a good husband in the future.

Aunt Xiao was really grateful to Xiao Wan. Yujuan had been sensible and obedient since she was a child, but her family was so poor that Aunt Xiao couldn't help her sister and was so worried that she couldn't sleep.

Fortunately, her work performance was acceptable, and Xiao Wan also gave her face. Yujuan was able to get a job in the workshop that others dreamed of. Not only was the salary high, but the food was also good. Yujuan even grew a lot taller.

How could she not thank Xiao Wan?

She and the child's father both ran a workshop and earned quite a bit of money. Some time ago, she gave her mother two taels of silver, which made her family very excited.

My mother no longer has to live her life under the influence of my brother and sister-in-law. They have become much more polite to me because Aunt Xiao asked my mother's family to plant potatoes on the rest of the land except for a portion for growing crops.

She asked her brother and sister-in-law to reclaim wasteland and plant potatoes. Her family's life became much better and her younger brothers and sisters could also eat some meat.

Life has gotten better and the family is financially more affluent, so naturally my brother and sister-in-law are smiling more often, and my sister-in-law is also more concerned about my younger siblings. It seems that the family is getting better and better.

All this was because of Xiao Wan. Aunt Xiao felt that the only way she could repay her was to do her utmost to take care of the workshop.

She never regarded herself as Xiao Wan's third aunt, but always set an example for the female workers. Yao Linlin's incident alerted her, but seeing that Xiao Wan seemed to have known what was going on, she did not ask any more questions.

I still have to keep a closer eye on her when I get back. Zhao Cuihua is not a good person. She is the one who instigates everything every time something happens.
