Chapter 668: Most of the people who do the sabotage are their own people
In the Yeguo Mansion, the relatives of the Gan family finally left, Gu Xu has been with his wife and daughter and never came out, the second Mrs. Gu sat alone in the house for most of the day, vented her anger on the subordinates, and told Gu Chan to be her helper, and pressed the maids and servants one by one in the courtyard to play the board, it must be that they have many mouths and tongues with outsiders, since it is impossible to find out who chewed the root of the master's tongue, everyone will be punished together.
There was a miserable cry in the courtyard of the second room again, and the closest one was the second lady who disposed of the dozen young girls that her son bought herself, and after a violent beating, only seven people survived in the end.
Gu Yun and Bai Qiao stayed until dinner before returning to their house, and when they returned to Zhongming Courtyard, the girls told them about the second lady beating her subordinates in the afternoon and then driving them out.
Bai Ko raised her eyebrows, covered her lips with her hands, and pretended to be speechless.
Gu Yun shook his head, the elders' affairs were not his turn to be the beaks of the juniors, he went back to the room to wash his hands and change his clothes, and then went to read the book, he still had several strategies to write, and if he couldn't write them, he would wait to eat the master's precepts.
The next day, Gu Xu and Gan Yuwen went to the Hanlin Courtyard to sell their leave, and colleagues asked what happened to them yesterday, but how could this kind of family ugliness be told to outsiders, so Gan and Gu both kept their mouths shut, but everyone thought that Gan Yuwen was Gu Xu's wife and brother, and guessed that it must be related to housework, Gu Xu's wife just gave birth to a daughter who is not yet a full moon, and recently Gu Xu has been drinking with people outside every day, and often does not return at night, I am afraid that yesterday it was Gan Yuwen's uncle who was cleaning up his brother-in-law.
I have to say that the Hanlin guessed quite accurately.
After this toss, Mrs. Gu stopped a lot as Bai Ko expected, and focused on buying new servants, she didn't trust the old servants who had given birth to a family for many years, and would rather buy young newcomers from outside to retrain, and even wanted to sell all her old servants, and the manpower she served in the main house these days was borrowed from her daughter-in-law, and she also wanted to express her sincerity to her son and daughter-in-law that she hoped for family harmony.
No one dared to talk to the old lady about these things, only said that the subordinates in the second room were not doing things well, which made the masters angry, and the old lady did not study it in detail.
The second lady was distracted by her housework, and she couldn't take care of her daughter's marriage for the time being, Gu Chan really learned cooking skills in the east kitchen every day, so after a few days, the palace chief finally had good news and gave Gu Yun a few famous posts, all of them were children of the clan to be married, and they were higher than Gu Yan's fiancΓ©.
"I'm really the object you found by drilling holes in the wall, and I really can't help it if I'm not satisfied."
"You look like a mouse."
"The true neutral camp is not next to each other, but if there is something to get their support, it should lean towards our side."
"Huh? What are their identities? β
"The descendants of the saint's uncles and ancestors are the clan, but they are not in the inner circle." The palace chief took out a name from the name post, "This is the highest status, the grandson of the county king, if you are satisfied, Gu Chan will be the wife of the grandson in the future, the future princess of the county." β
"Well, my second aunt should be interested in this person, thank you."
Gu Yun went home with the name post, personally delivered it to the second lady, and deliberately took out the name card of the grandson of the king of the county, coaxed the second lady to smile, and almost decided that this grandson would be Gu Chan's husband on the spot, but after calming down a little, he still remembered to discuss it with his son, and then wrote to his husband who was far away in Pingzhou to ask for his opinion.
When Gu Xu saw the famous post, he felt that the man's status was too high, his sister was pampered, and she might not be able to cope with the housework of the county king's mansion, and her mother had not trained her well.
But this idea is just a matter of thinking, Gu Xu still agreed to write to his father first, see how his father replied, and if he agreed, he would contact the man's family again.
Of course, the second lady Gu was also worried that her daughter would not be looked down upon, so she invited Princess Cheng Ning Peilan to drink tea at the house, and asked her to come forward to invite the man's relatives to enjoy the flowers and drink tea together.
Ning Peilan was also happy, and agreed to come forward to be the middleman, and only two or three days later, she made an appointment with the princess of the family to go out to enjoy the flowers, and then gave a post to Mrs. Gu and Gu Chan, and took them on a date.
After Changfang and Sanfang learned the news respectively, they all prayed for Gu Chan and wished her good luck.
Bai Ko also gave her blessings, and then she took the guards to the workshop of the Joy Shop to check the trial production of the glass workshop, at noon in the canteen for lunch, the stewards and deacons were eating small stoves on the second floor, and the condescending vision made Bai Ko see with his own eyes a scene where a male worker took the opportunity to reach out and touch someone's buttocks when the female worker was cleaning up the table, and the female worker scolded the other party and did not apologize, she jumped over the railing on the second floor on the spot, kicked and stepped under the soles of her feet, and let the stewards and deacons on the second floor come out to recognize people, He was eventually recognized as an apprentice in a glass factory, from a civilian background.
So Bai Ko called the guards, sent the young man to Yingtianfu to eat the board, dismissed him as an apprentice, and drove him out of the workshop.
The people in the cafeteria silently watched the young man struggle and apologize desperately, but he was still unable to defeat the strength of the two guards, and was dragged away like a dead dog, Liu Qiang and Liu Zhuang also asked their men to stop the young man's father and brother, and did not allow them to intercede.
When the young man's voice faded away and could no longer be heard, most of the people in the cafeteria sat down to continue eating, and Mengmei took her female workers to thank Bai Ko, and Bai Ko could see from their looks that this was not the first time this kind of thing had happened.
"I've been here so many times, why didn't you tell me once, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes today, how long would you be silent?" Bai Ko stood still and said loudly, so that everyone present could hear it.
"It's not that we don't want to sue, it's that this kind of fact is difficult to get evidence, and we are just low-status female workers, those men say that the factory can make money because they are working hard, so it is appropriate to get a high salary, and we women are waiting for them, so ......" Mengmei also responded loudly, today there is Bai Ko's on-site support, these days their women's grievances have to be happy at one time.
"What a grandpa's amusement! Are you waiting for them? Who has such a big mouth and is not afraid of choking on the wind? You are the descendants of the son, the private property of the son, the only object you have to serve is the son, the wages for your work are given by the factory, not by the men who commit cheap hands and feet, who dares to take advantage of you in the mouth, take advantage of the son, don't talk nonsense directly. β
"Yes, Big White Shopkeeper."
"That guy is just an apprentice who gets 500 yuan pocket money a month, and he dares to take advantage of you, count that guy lucky, this time I saw it, I am a lady, I don't beat people, if the prince is present, that guy still wants to send the official with intact limbs?"
Bai Ko's words made the men present feel uncomfortable, and many of them choked on food.
She's a lady? She doesn't beat people?
Who jumped down from the second floor just now, kicked over a young man, and still stepped on his feet?
"You tell all the female workers in the factory, and then there are men who can't control their mouths, hands and feet, and if they touch you, they will beat them until their own parents don't recognize them, and they don't accept to let them sue the son, they are afraid of strict rules, and they quit their jobs, and I will follow the whole capital to publicize his deeds."
"Yes, Big White Shopkeeper!" The female workers were so excited that they replied loudly.
Bai Ko nodded with satisfaction, waved them down to work, and then she looked up and glanced at the second floor, where there were all stewards and deacons at all levels, as well as the little servants who were placed here.
Seeing this scene, Bai Ko knew in his heart that they seemed to know about the harassment of female workers by male workers, but no one reported it, and even these little guys who passed on the news did not say a word.
Bai Ko looked at the female workers who were busy cleaning up, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration, hooked her fingers at Mengmei, and the two went to find a secluded corner outside the canteen to talk.
"You sue me, is it not often that men harass your female workers?"
"Since the factory started trial production, this kind of thing has become more and more common."
"It's okay if other girls don't dare to sue, but you don't say a word?"
"There is no evidence, it's just harassment, touch it and leave, if we don't forgive, we will scold us for chasing after men, we don't know shame."
"Even if there is no evidence, you should sue me for this situation, otherwise I thought that everything was peaceful in the factory, and I took every precaution to prevent the situation inside the factory, and there was a court watching outside the factory, and it was difficult for outsiders to misbehave, but it was easy for my own people to sabotage."
"I know that I am wrong, I will definitely report it to you if there is another such thing."
"By the way, are there any men who seduce you female workers? Similar to when Wengu Mountain seduced you? Seducing a woman for a body in exchange for a favor with a dominant position? β
"Not really, but when you say that, there is another kind of temptation."
"Say."
"There are so many female workers working in the factory, about half of them are unmarried, and there are commoners who use marriage to lure girls to marry, and at the same time, domestic servants are also competing for these girls."
"It's very smart, constantly harassing girls, ruining the reputation of girls, and then marrying home with the face of a good person, this is as disgusting as a rape victim marrying a person who rapes himself, and by the way, he also took advantage of the son, and used a soft knife to force the son to agree to marry the girl in his name to these wastes, and he didn't even have a chance to choose a good family for them."
Bai Ko licked her lips and looked angry.
