Chapter 962: Officer Peng [2]

"How dare you, old student?!" Officer Peng's eyes turned red with anxiety.

He just knocked on Widow Peng's door a few times, hoping to get in and take advantage of her, but he failed.

Mrs. Peng Su was extremely stubborn. If he broke into the house, she would set it on fire.

He was humiliated, so he occasionally made trouble for Peng Su and united the men and women in the town to abuse her.

Moreover, it has been more than two years, and Mrs. Peng Su has never said a word. She just closed the door and lived her life in silence.

Today is really a ghost day. Everyone comes out to oppose him!

Old Student Fan stared at Officer Peng with a cold gaze: "Look at you, you're such a tyrant! If we don't wake you up, you'll really think you're a local tyrant!"

After saying this, he knelt down again and apologized to His Majesty. After he had excused himself from the public criticism, he stood up and continued to scold Officer Peng: "I have made up my mind to file a complaint on behalf of the people. I, Fanjiazhuang, am not afraid of your Peng family. You'd better pray that you have done nothing wrong, otherwise you will be sentenced!"

Mrs. Peng Su was very tactful and knelt down before Mr. Fan. "I, Mrs. Peng Su, the widow of Peng Shuping, thank you so much for your generosity and help. In the past few years, thanks to your support and that of the townspeople, we have been able to make a living."

Seeing this, Mr. Fan was pleased, but also felt very disappointed with Officer Peng: "Look, listen, look at you, Officer Peng, aren't you ashamed? Are you worthy of this boy Shuping?"

Peng Su's husband, Peng Shuping, was a scholar. On his way to the county town for an examination, he stepped on air and fell into the water, caught a cold and died.

When he was alive, he helped the Silifang of Hutou Town a lot for free. He also copied books and gave them to the staff of the Silifang and the homes of the village heads, so that the children of these families could learn to read without spending money to buy books.

But after Peng Shuping passed away, Officer Peng not only did not help, but also bullied the orphan and his widowed mother.

"You beasts, I have decided to sue you. No one can persuade you. If you have the guts, just kill me and I won't be able to sue you!" Mr. Fan became more and more angry as he thought about it, and he threatened.

Everyone in Hutou Town was anxious, including his son, Fan Shuli: "Dad, we didn't stop you, and we will keep an eye on Officer Peng. Don't be angry..."

Ah, huh? Old Man Fan said, "Keep an eye on Officer Peng? If you could keep an eye on him, he wouldn't be becoming more and more domineering!"

Even Fan Shuli was scolded, and the people in Hutou Town did not dare to persuade him.

Captain Zhong was a practical man and sent his troops directly: "Take Officer Peng away and keep him under observation!"

"Yes." Two soldiers stepped forward, knocked Officer Peng down with one move, tied him up and gagged him.

"Wait a minute! Wait until I finish saying this before you take him away." Qin Xiaomi shouted, "Fellow villagers, please listen carefully. My Qin Family Herbal Medicine Shop will unconditionally support the female workers. If anyone dares to bully my female workers or spread rumors about them, I will file a complaint to the end, even if I have to go to the capital to file a complaint with the emperor!"

"So, let's just live our lives honestly, and don't sit around doing nothing, plotting dirty tricks and spreading rumors behind people's backs. It feels good when rumors are spread, but it hurts when they come down on us."

"Your boss is right!" Uncle Qin clapped his hands and cheered, supporting his niece.

Grandma Qin almost pinched herself... You old man, please come back quickly. I really can't control these uncle and nephew without you.

"Take him away!" Captain Zhong gave the order, and Officer Peng was taken away.

The clerks, town elders, ward heads, and village heads in Hutou, Fuliu, the western suburbs of the county, Leibao, Junshi, and Shuanghe towns all expressed their support: "Please rest assured, Mr. Qin, when we return, we will definitely warn the villagers not to spread rumors or bully female workers."

"Well, thank you all, elders." Qin Xiaomi smiled and spoke politely.

Reputable people in each town: "..."

Don't be so polite, we are scared.

Xu Shuliu of Fuliu Town waited for a moment, then bowed and asked, "Boss Qin, when will your town school open? Can you give us some places from other towns? And can you spare some of those high-yield grain and potato seeds for us to try planting in Fuliu Town?"

People from other towns all glared at him: You, Xu Shuli, are so rude. You even want to steal the credit for the trial planting of high-yield potato seeds from the young masters of the school?

Xu Shuli: It's just talk, it won't do any harm. What if it works? Then my Fuliu Town will be remembered in history.

"Mr. Qin, we in Shuanghe Town also want to try growing high-yield potato seeds. If possible, please give us a few dozen kilograms of potato seeds." said Li Shuli from Shuanghe Town.

Dangdang Dangdang!

The gong sounded, and Uncle Qin called out, "Everyone, regarding the town school quota and the trial planting of high-yield grain and potato seeds, you should go to the county magistrate or to Old Master Jing. It's no use coming to my house."

Why is it useless to look for your Qin family?

The town school, the famous scholars, the young masters, and the potato seeds, weren't they all obtained by your Qin family?

But with so many previous experiences of being trampled underfoot by the Qin family, they wisely chose not to dwell on it. They smiled and said, "Thank you for your advice. We'll go talk to Mr. Jing and Master Lu later."

Oh, that's right.

Dangdang Dangdang!

Uncle Qin struck the gong again, and Qin Xiaomi shouted, "Workers from other towns, the workshop will give you five days off to go back and take care of your personal matters. You will officially start work on September 16th. Your wages will be calculated from the moment you sign the contract, so these five days are paid leave. Go back without worry."

"Thank you, boss. You are so kind!" The workers from other towns were very happy. They bowed, put away their employment contracts, and went to gather with the clerk in their own town.

"Boss, boss, I have something to ask you!" Shan Xinye raised his hand.

Qin Xiaomi looked at her and said, "Speak."

Shan Xinye asked, "Boss, can I get an advance on my wages to give to my mother? My mother's illness can't be delayed any longer, and she urgently needs money to see a doctor. We're really out of food at home, so we need money to buy food!"

Oh, this girl is not only brave, but also shameless.

Is it glorious to be so poor? And you still shout it out, and shout it out happily.

The people in Hutou Town almost pinched themselves.

Old Man Fan hurriedly said, "Shan family girl, don't be rude. How can you ask for wages when you haven't done any work? I will lend you two taels of silver. You can first take care of your mother's medical treatment and buy food."

Shan Xinye bowed to him and said, "Thank you, Mr. Fan, but I would like to ask our boss for an advance on my wages. That way, I will only owe him a favor, which will be easier to repay."

Hahaha, Uncle Qin couldn't help laughing out loud: "Pay, give the eldest niece wages, she deserves it."

Qin Xiaomi also smiled and nodded, then instructed Qin Mei, who was in charge of the finances: "Aunt Mei, pay her three months' wages, and have Xiao Baiying and Xiao Shanglu accompany her to see her mother. If they can't cure her, have the Ye family in Shanxin call in other doctors."

It can also be considered as a training opportunity for Xiao Baiying and Xiao Shanglu.

Shan Xinye: "Thank you, boss. You are so kind. If I open a workshop and make money in the future, I will definitely give half of the profit to you!"

Tsk, is there really something wrong with the Shan family's brain? The villagers were very suspicious.

But Qin Xiaomi was very surprised and praised her: "Shan Xinye, you have a human brain, congratulations!"

Only those who know how to create can be called human beings. Those who just want to follow the rules and work until they die have a tool brain.

Grandma Qin was almost going crazy and hurriedly said, "Xiaomi girl, it seems that Peng Su wants to talk to you about something. She has raised her hand for a while."

Qin Xiaomi looked at Widow Peng and asked, "Peng Su, what's the matter? Tell me."

Widow Peng asked, "Boss, can my son and I stay at the herbal medicine shop today?"
