Chapter 37: Self-defeating

Qi Ling took the cloth bag of Hexiang and looked at it, it was probably less than one-third of the others.

This White Lotus really started to look for trouble again, if she didn't let her have a long memory, she would only think that she was easy to bully.

Qi Ling called Peach Blossom to her side and whispered something into her ear, and Peach Blossom listened to it, and then she became happy.

The people left behind in the house stopped their work, first helped to pour out all the flowers they had picked, and then spread them out on the mat.

Only Hexiang's bag was left untouched, and Qi Ling asked Aunt Zhao to find a new cloth bag and asked Peach Blossom to take away all the empty bags together.

When the peach blossoms went up the mountain and handed out the empty bags to everyone, everyone continued to work again.

Seeing that Peach Blossom didn't scold herself, Hexiang felt that her little abacus had won, and her subordinates' movements became more and more slower.

She watched the peach blossoms this morning until everyone's bags were basically full, and then sent them home, and she didn't look at who picked more and who picked less, so she felt that even if she was lazy and picked less, she would not be held accountable.

Since picking more and picking less is the same, why should you be so diligent, so just do the one with the least picking.

Others stretched out their hands once, to pick three or four flowers, she stretched out her hand once, only one at a time, and slowly the gap between herself and others is getting bigger and bigger.

When the bag was full again, she handed over the poor bag again, as she had just done, and Peach Blossom still didn't say anything, but took it directly, went home, and returned the empty bag to everyone.

This time Hexiang was even more lazy, her hands didn't move much at all, other people's hands barely stopped, but her hands seemed to grow to the top of the flowers, picking one would take a long time, and even picking a lot of miscellaneous flowers that Qi Ling didn't want.

Even the people around her who worked with her noticed it and advised her to move faster, but she pretended to be a little tired and said that she wanted to rest for a while, and finally others saw that she had been like this all the time, and they didn't even persuade her anymore.

Peach Blossom saw that the sun was about to set, so she called everyone to call it a day, only to see that most of the rest of the people had picked most of the cloth bags this time, but her bags didn't seem to contain anything, and they didn't bulge at all.

Everyone returned to Aunt Zhao's house with their own cloth bags, and after putting the cloth bags down, they heard Qi Ling say that they would be paid.

At this moment, everyone had been looking forward to it for a day, so they all gathered around happily.

Qi Ling was not in a hurry to send money, and slowly opened his mouth: "Everyone is working very actively today, but we didn't say the time to work before, so some people are late." ”

Speaking of this, Qi Ling glanced at Hexiang, and Hexiang hurriedly refuted for himself: "Dongjia, you don't blame me for this, you also said that it was because you didn't say that the working time was good, and my house was far away, so it may be a little more fun than everyone." ”

"I didn't complain to you, but I still want to talk about the time when we go to work today, in the future, everyone will come at one hour in the morning, leave at one o'clock at noon, come at one hour in the afternoon, and leave at three o'clock in the afternoon, what do you think of such a time arrangement?"

Qi Ling's arrangement can be said to be very thoughtful, the hour is about seven o'clock in modern times, the noon is more than eleven o'clock, the Shen time is more than three o'clock, and the unitary time is more than six o'clock, so that the arrangement is just enough time for everyone to cook at home, and at noon you can also avoid the sun's most sunny time.

After all, the sun is not too hot after lunch, but when it comes to summer, the sun at that time will stun people.

Hearing Qi Ling's arrangement, everyone's faces were happy, and they all nodded in agreement, this is much less time than other jobs to work every day, and the salary is more, it is strange not to agree to such a good thing.

Just like Aunt Zhao used to work in other people's houses, she had to rush there before dawn in the morning, although she didn't have to come back to cook at noon, but she didn't have time to rest after eating, and she had to work until the sun completely set in the afternoon, it was so hard, and the money she earned was only thirty or forty copper plates, so Qi Ling could be regarded as a very conscientious owner.

After setting the working time, Qi Ling began to pay wages one by one, fifty copper plates per person, not one more, not one is not less.

But I don't know if it's because she didn't see Hexiang, after she paid everyone else's wages, she put her money bag in her sleeve.

Hexiang was very anxious: "Boss, my salary hasn't been paid yet!" ”

Before she came, she told her stepmother and father that she would send fifty copper plates today, so the two of them were kind to her all day, and if she couldn't get her salary back in the end, she was afraid that she would be beaten again.

When Qi Ling heard her words, he beckoned to Peach Blossom, and Peach Blossom took all the flowers that Lotus Xiang had picked this afternoon.

I saw three cloth bags on the ground, one was less pitiful than the other, Qi Ling squatted down and opened the mouth of the bag, and his sharp eyes saw that there were a lot of flowers in it that were not picked by Qi Ling.

Seeing these bags, Hexiang was a little flustered, "This, I didn't pick it." ”

"Why didn't you pick this, I kept all the picks you picked and didn't pour them out, just waiting to show it to you." Peach Blossom said through gritted teeth.

The women who stayed at home with Aunt Zhao also testified that the flowers she picked back had not been touched at all.

"Hexiang, I won't say anything about your arrival late this afternoon, but look at the flowers you picked, do you think I'm blind and can't see that you're coping?" Qi Ling looked at Hexiang and said coldly.

"You can also have today's salary if you want, when you fill these bags, I will give you the salary when I want, and the people in this courtyard can testify to you."

Peach Blossom was going to get angry for the first time in the afternoon, but Qi Ling asked her to endure it, and when the time came, they would settle the accounts together, and now the evidence of Hexiang's laziness is here, see how she quibbles!

"I, I, but now that the sun is going to set, how can I pick it?"

Hexiang put on that aggrieved look again.

Qi Ling snorted coldly: "Then I don't care, you can also choose not to pay." ”

How dare Hexiang not get paid, she will definitely be beaten when she returns home without pay, at this time she does not regret her laziness, but hates Qi Ling more and more, and feels that Qi Ling is targeting herself.

She looked at the people in the courtyard with red eyes, expecting someone to speak for her.

But everyone looked at the bags on the ground and was silent. I feel that Hexiang has a lot of eyes, not an honest person, everyone works the same, only you are lazy, everyone is not stupid, who will speak for you.

At this time, Gu Jinfeng suddenly walked over from outside the door, and as soon as he saw him, Hexiang's eyes lit up.

He Xiang firmly believes that Gu Jinfeng will definitely speak for himself, just like the last time he rescued himself from the river!
