Stepmother in charge: Making a fortune through farming and raising her children to fight back

Qin Yun Workshop.

The outstanding workers whose names were called stood at the front one by one, and Xiaonan counted copper coins for them, which was a good opportunity to exercise her arithmetic skills.

When they finally got the dozens of heavy copper coins in their hands, they were still a little bit in disbelief, with tears in their eyes.

Among these people, except for the aunts, there are also maids, all of whom are hardworking and conscientious people at home. Many of the aunts have been taking care of their husbands and children since they got married. They have been said to be money-losing goods from childhood to old age, and it seems that no one has ever affirmed them.

But today, Yun Zhenzhen not only affirmed the meaning of their existence, but also rewarded them in front of so many people.

This is the first time I have felt this way in all my years.

Some young girls actually shed tears when they saw the large string of copper coins in their hands.

Yun Zhenzhen was also somewhat moved. She smiled and waved her hand, "The rewards are over. Now let's get straight to the point and pay the wages!"

Xu Linger came over with the booklet and said loudly, "Now, those whose names I call will come forward. After you press your fingerprints, you can receive your wages."

"it is good!!!"

There was cheering below.

The most exciting moment is coming!

Old Lady Qin was responsible for calling people, while Xu Ling'er was responsible for registering and taking fingerprints. Since the others could not read, only she could do this job.

A large basket of copper coins was disappearing at a speed visible to the naked eye. At the same time, everyone present had a large string of copper coins in their hands. They were very solid and could kill someone if thrown out.

After everyone received their wages, Yun Zhenzhen spoke again.

"Everyone has received their wages, and now there is one last thing to do!"

Everyone present suppressed their joy and listened to her quietly.

"The last thing I decided to do is appoint a captain in each department to be responsible for managing each team and supervising the team members to complete their tasks."

As she spoke, she opened the booklet in her hand.

"Team One Captain, Chen Jingjing!"

"Team Two Captain, Zhu Caiqiong!"

"Captain of Team Three..."

There were twenty people in total, and four captains were appointed. Those whose names were called immediately had their lips trembling with excitement.

When Yun Zhenzhen's last name was announced, thunderous applause broke out at the scene.

They have seen the daily performance of these people. They work hard and conscientiously in the workshop every day, and continue to weave yarn after returning home. They were appointed as team leaders, and the other aunts had no complaints.

Now that the rewards are over, we cannot continue to improve them. We still have to do what is needed.

Yun Zhenzhen raised her hand to signal for silence. "That's all for today's pay. I hope everyone will continue to work hard and create a better tomorrow. Don't be like Aunt Yang. If she finds out, she'll never hire you again. You won't need her help with anything related to me, Yun Zhenzhen, anymore."

"Does everyone understand?"

"I understand!"

Everyone shouted together, and their voices could be heard from far away.

Two of them had thought about stealing the wool, but after what happened today, they no longer dared to have any other thoughts. They just wanted to work hard in the future and strive to get the reward.

"Okay, that's all for today, everyone, get busy!"

Yun Zhenzhen smiled and said, "Please stay for a moment, all four captains. I need to explain the issues you should pay attention to in your future work and your responsibilities."

Everyone immediately entered the workshop and bustled about, leaving only four team leaders, Old Lady Qin, and Xiao Ewanniang.

Since they have been appointed as team leaders, the responsibilities they bear will certainly be heavier. It is their duty to go to work early and late every day, observe the work of the team members, and record everyone's work tasks.

After everyone had left, Yun Zhenzhen asked each of them to introduce themselves so that she could get to know each person in charge.

The first one to come up was Qin Dafang. She was also the only girl among the four captains. She was brave and careful, and not afraid of strangers at all.

He was very confident and graceful when introducing himself, which made everyone laugh.

The last one to come up was Aunt Qiang. When it was her turn to speak, the woman who was usually full of energy was coughing so hard that she couldn't straighten her back.

Qin Dafang patted her back with concern: "Auntie, do you have a cold or a fever? You see you are coughing so badly. Why don't you go back and rest for a few days? Otherwise, it will be too much suffering for you to work when you are sick."

"Cough cough cough, it's okay..." Aunt Qiang spoke anxiously in a low voice, fearing that the captain position she had just obtained would be replaced by someone else. This was an opportunity she had finally obtained.

There are many children in the family and she is the only one who depends on them, and they are all waiting for money.

Yun Zhenzhen asked with concern, "Auntie, go back and rest for a few days. There are many people in the workshop, so it won't delay your work. Come back to work after you recover from your illness. Don't worry, I'll keep this captain position for you."

Aunt Qiang was still a little worried.

"Don't worry, you will still be paid for the days you took leave, so you don't have to worry about having no source of income."

After all, there are dozens of people sitting in a room. If one person gets sick, the disease can easily spread in the closed space. It will be troublesome if the rest of the people are infected. Not to mention the impact on business, getting sick was also very dangerous in ancient times. There was no specific medicine to treat it, and serious accidents could happen if you were not careful.

It would be nice if we could avoid these troubles at the source now.

After hearing this, Aunt Qiang finally felt relieved and walked home reluctantly.

The aunts in the workshop had just received their wages and were full of energy, and everyone was working very fast.

When the meeting just started, Yun Zhenzhen noticed that many aunts were still wearing thin clothes. Now it was December, and it was easy to get sick in the morning and evening.

Although we sold wool to them at cost price before, the quantity we bought was very small. If we calculate based on two kilograms per piece of clothing, we could only buy some for the children and the elderly in the family. The young and middle-aged laborers were still wearing single clothes to keep warm.

Even if it is the wages that have just been paid, these aunts who take care of their families will definitely not spend it on themselves. Most of them will choose to save it to marry their children and build houses. At most, they will buy some meat to satisfy their appetite and buy some clothes for their children. Not a penny is spent on themselves.

Thinking of this, she went to the warehouse in her backyard to check the stored wool.

A lot. By making all of these, I can make a lot of money, and I also have a shop in the town.

As for the rest, she planned to give a few kilograms to each of the aunts in the workshop, and stipulated that they could only use it to make clothes for themselves. They would need to wear uniform clothes at that time, so they should be able to wear new clothes.

Just consider it as this year's year-end bonus.

The aunts worked hard for her, and she was happy to give them some rewards.

Old Mrs. Qin and several children were in the room, and she shared her thoughts with everyone.

The old lady’s first reaction was that it was very expensive. After all, it was given to everyone for free, so it must be a losing business.

But after thinking about it again, he realized that the third brother's wife's business was so big now, so she wouldn't be short of this little money. It would also leave a good impression on the villagers, so why not do it?

She immediately agreed: "Okay, you decide on this matter. If you need me to do anything, just tell me and I will negotiate."
