Chapter 41: Dismissal
Da Zhuang's daughter-in-law no longer had a fearless look on her face now, "Xiaoyuan, do you really dare not want us to do it, what can you do?" ”
Guan Yuan looked at her funny: "Why can't I be the master?" ”
"It's... This shop is from Sound Valley, you are so small, don't be kidding! As soon as the big strong daughter-in-law said, the eyes of several people behind her lit up, and they seemed to have found a life-saving straw, "Yes, yes, this shop is not yours, you can't drive us away." ”
"Even if he says it", Zhao Shenggu suddenly walked in, and he didn't know how much he heard.
When Guan Yuan saw Zhao Shenggu coming in, he didn't bother to care, and retreated into his arms and stopped talking.
"What! Shenggu, we are all your aunts, you can't deny your relatives like this..."A woman standing behind the big strong daughter-in-law spoke.
"Yes, it is precisely because you are my aunt that I pay such a high salary. Do you think I have to open this workshop in Tunli? ”
What does it mean that a group of women are looking at each other?
"I can open this workshop in the county seat, isn't it easy to find a few people to work, it is Xiaoyuan who wants to pull a handful, so this workshop was built in Tunli." Zhao Shenggu swore solemnly.
Guan Yuan pursed his lips when he heard this, his brother now has the cunning of a businessman,
When it was originally opened in Tunli, it was just for the convenience of management.
"If you don't want to do it, I'm just looking for someone in the county again, so it's more convenient for those who join to get the marinade."
As soon as Zhao Shenggu's words came out, not only did the women on the side of the strong daughter-in-law change their faces, but even the women on Li Ying's side were anxious: "Shenggu, you can't listen to them, we are doing a good job here, we all know that you did it for us only after taking care of us, we are not those things who don't know gratitude!" ”
"It's just that we've always been very satisfied with what we've done, and we want to keep doing it!"
The others also agreed, for fear that they would be picked up by Zhao Shenggu if they were too late.
Zhao Shenggu raised his hand: "I know, I know who really wants to do it, and I Zhao Shenggu will naturally not lose her."
Hearing Zhao Shenggu say this, these women calmed down, and now they looked at the big strong daughter-in-law and their group of people with anger, it was these people who were unreasonable and almost caused them to lose their jobs.
And the big strong daughter-in-law and their bunch have long been panicked, and a few people almost cried with Mu Ziniang, if such a good job is lost, don't think about having a good life when you go back.
But Zhao Shenggu was determined to let them cry no matter how useless they were, and said to Li Ying and them: "As long as you aunts do it steadfastly, Xiaoyuan and I will not treat you badly!" Now let's get to work, otherwise there won't be enough goods. When this group of people heard this, they immediately started working at full speed, and without the black sheep of the big and strong daughter-in-law, the efficiency was much higher.
It happened that Guan Ermao came back from the county seat, Zhao Shenggu instructed him to settle the wages of these people, and took Guan Yuan back to the yard, and he believed that Guan Ermao would handle the follow-up matters.
Guan Ermao didn't ask Zhao Shenggu anything, looking at these people, he knew what was going on with his toes, and sneered in his heart, a group of greedy people are not enough.
"It's all you, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have lost my job, you lost my money, you lost my money." Mu Ziniang saw Zhao Shenggu leave, knowing that this matter could no longer be changed, and all her anger was vented on the big strong daughter-in-law.
The big strong daughter-in-law is easy to bully, and immediately sneered: "I, if you didn't want to get a little more money, now if something happens, blame me, where did you get your face?"
After Mu Ziniang heard this, she was stunned and didn't react, her face was full of despair, this is really the end.
Guan Ermao didn't go to see her, Muzi's father died the year before last, leaving the sick and weak Muzi to rely on her for her life, Zhao Shenggu and Guan Yuan looked at her pitiful, and usually took the most care of her. This is really ignorant of good people's hearts.
"Okay, if you want to make trouble, go out and make trouble, if you break the things here, you have to compensate according to the price" Guan Ermao, a young man, in order to suppress this group of women, usually has a cold face, as soon as he speaks, these people really don't dare to make trouble anymore, and they go out of the workshop slowly.
Guan Ermao paid them a whole month's salary according to Zhao Shenggu's instructions: "Okay, let's go, go and climb your high branches, I'm here to see what good work you can find." Guan Ermao said sarcastically.
A group of women were embarrassed and anxious to be driven away by Guan Ermao.
Mu Ziniang held a salary of twenty yuan in her hand, and her intestines were green with regret, she never thought of coming out of the workshop, this job was easy, and she could take care of the family, and the money for the baby's study was earned by her in the workshop. Thinking that there is no income at home in the future, I will rely on the baby and his father to plant some land and feed some pigs by himself, so I don't know what year and month I have to wait until I rebuild the beautiful blue brick house just now, and the tuition fee for the baby to go to school in the future... As soon as she thought of going back to the days when she had to break two flowers, the big strong daughter-in-law's mind was muddy, and she didn't even know that she had entered the house.
Da Zhuang was repairing farm tools in the yard, and when he saw that his daughter-in-law had come back so early, he hurriedly asked, "Why did you come back so early, and the workshop is on holiday today?" "This is also precedent, as long as it is the busy season of farming, Guan Yuan and Zhao Shenggu will take a day or two off for them to clean up the fields.
"No, there's nothing to do in the field right now," Da Zhuang scratched his head, full of puzzlement.
When the eldest daughter-in-law heard him ask, she threw herself on the table and cried bitterly.
"What's wrong with you? Who bullied you, don't patronize and cry, talk! The big strong man circled around the table.
Da Zhuang's daughter-in-law cried for a while, and then she intermittently told Da Zhuang what happened, and the more Da Zhuang listened, the more green tendons on his forehead. Hearing the end, he slapped the table: "You stupid mother-in-law." ”
Da Zhuang's daughter-in-law saw Da Zhuang scolding her, and cried again: "I don't know why my head was ironed at that time, and I was thinking about getting more money, his father, I know it's wrong, or you go and talk to Shenggu and see if you can let me go back again!" ”
Da Zhuang's face darkened: "You're embarrassed to say!" People are sorry for you, you force others so much, you really have no heart! If I don't go, you'll lose my face! ”
The same situation also happened in several other families that were dismissed by Zhao Shenggu, but Muzi's family was a different atmosphere, Muzi is nine years old this year, maybe the child of the poor was in charge early, after his father died, Muzi grew up rapidly, after listening to what his mother said, Muzi put the homework he had done in his bookbag, got up and walked out.
Mu Ziniang looked at him blankly with red eyes: "Where are you going?" ”
"Go and apologize, my mother did something wrong, and I, as a son, naturally have to apologize."
Mu Ziniang thought that he was trying to save his job, and nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, I'll go with you, maybe Shenggu will let me go back again for the sake of our mother and son!" As he spoke, he got up.
Muzi stopped her: "Mom, you are at home, we are bitter, but we must not rely on our pity to take advantage of other people's sympathy, Brother Shenggu and Xiaoyuan have been good enough for us, you didn't do it right, it chilled people's hearts, don't go back to the workshop, I will support this family with you in the future"
Mu Ziniang listened to Mu Zi's words, completely stunned, to be honest, when she followed them to coax the processing money, she did have Zhao Shenggu in her heart for her own pitiful sake, maybe she added the mind, but she didn't expect to steal chickens and rice, and even lost the work of the workshop, now listening to Mu Zi's words, she only felt that her face was burning, it turned out that she had become such a person unconsciously.
Looking at Muzi's thin little figure to apologize for himself, tears fell like beads with broken threads.
When Muzi arrived at Zhao Shenggu's house, they were eating, and when Zhao Shenggu saw Muzi, he was busy and enthusiastically beckoning him to eat.
Startled Guan Yuan and Zhao Shenggu, Zhao Shenggu hurriedly helped him up: "What are you doing, get up, you are already in poor health, you are being touched by the moisture on the ground, don't look back and get sick again!" ”
After Mu Zi followed Zhao Shenggu's strength, he said in a hoarse voice: "Brother Shenggu, Xiaoyuan, I know that what my mother did this time is very wrong, and I am here to apologize to you on her behalf." ”
Guan Yuan and Zhao Shenggu glanced at each other, "It's nothing, the work is originally about your affection and my willingness, and we understand that my aunt is unwilling to do it." ”
When Mu Zi heard this, he knew that Zhao Shenggu and Guan Yuan were indeed annoyed, and if they changed themselves, they were afraid that they would be even more annoyed.
"Brother Shenggu, Xiaoyuan, I know you are angry, and I don't ask you to forgive my mother, but I really came to apologize." , Mu Zi said with red eyes.
In the end, Guan Yuan and Zhao Shenggu accepted his apology, and after sending Muzi away, Guan Yuan followed Zhao Shenggu to the kitchen to clean up his things.
"Brother, do you think Muzi will be the same as his mother?"
Zhao Shenggu said indifferently: "Who knows, it shouldn't be, where does he have such a heart at such a young age, take a look, if it's really good, help him at the right time." ”
Guan Yuan hugged Zhao Shenggu's waist and rubbed it, in fact, the two of them he is the one with a heart of stone, Zhao Shenggu is cold and the outside, but his heart is much softer than him, of course, he is not the kind of unprincipled bad person, he has a standard in his heart to do things, and what enters his heart is naturally taken care of in every way, just like Guan Guo's family, Guan Ermao and them, provoked him, and he will be rejected from now on, just like the Guan family, and this time Mu Ziniang.
Guan Yuan came out after Zhao Shenggu cleaned up his things in the kitchen, the weather in early spring was still cold, Guan Yuan and Zhao Shenggu sat by the hearth, Zhao Shenggu held a book "On Capital Circulation" and read it with relish, Guan Yuan glanced at it, and turned his head with no interest. He likes ancient culture, wandering for a hundred years, his level of Chinese painting has been quite attained, now Zhao Shenggu reads, Guan Yuan paints.
This is the scene that Guan Ermao saw when he came in. There was no communication between the two of them, but there was an atmosphere where no one else could get involved.
"Shenggu Xiaoyuan" Guan Ermao said hello, and the two raised their heads.
Zhao Shenggu beckoned him to sit down and asked him what was the matter.
"Isn't this a few people gone, the work of the workshop can't be delayed, should we recruit a few more people?" Guan Ermao asked Zhao Shenggu.
"It's to recruit a few, at least this year's workshop will continue." Zhao Shenggu nodded.
"What do you mean? If you will continue to do it this year, you won't do it in the future? Guan Ermao asked.
