Chapter 665: Favor

When the Caojiatun village head and his wife saw this, they thought she was really pretending, but they didn't dare to scold her like before. They had to wait for her and take her back to the village in their own ox cart.

There was no other way. In the entire Caojiatun, only the widow Cao Yang became a female worker for the Qin family.

Since she is your only child, you have to treat her well.

This way, she can praise Caojiatun more in front of the Qin family, and when the Qin family workshop recruits workers next time, Caojiatun can get a few more positions.

In addition to Cao Yang, there were ten other widows working in the Qin family workshop.

Several families with the surnames Chai, Zhang, Hu, Qian, Sun and Huang in Gui Village all had people who got jobs from the Qin family.

Families with the surname Huang have the largest number of people working, and half of the Huang women are workshop workers.

The Huang family was very happy because of this. When they passed by Lujiatanzi Street, every household paid for a portion of cooked food to add to the dishes at home to celebrate.

Seeing that they were so happy, Old Man Qian snorted coldly, "What are you happy about? Work hard for my brother Qin's family in the future, and don't learn from the Huang Wu family, Huang Duogui's family, and Huang Xiaozhuang. If you dare to learn from them, my old Qian family will be the first to not let you go!"

Bang! Old Man Hu kicked him and cursed, "Ah, old man Qian, what are you pretending to be? Do you want to use my brother Qin's name to bully the villagers?"

Old Man Qian: "I'm just afraid that the Huang family will make another mistake. The Huang family has a lot of criminal records, so we have to be on guard!"

His granddaughter Qian Huaya also became a female worker in the Qin family today. Old man Qian was happy and did not argue with old man Hu.

"Old Man Qian is right." Old Man Hu pointed at the Huang family and said, "Just work honestly and don't think about harming the workshop, otherwise you will all go to jail!"

"Grandpa Hu is right. The new dye is semi-government-run, which means that half of the business belongs to the imperial court. If you dare to do anything bad to this business, you will offend the imperial court and will be arrested and put in jail, just like selling contraband salt." said Qian Huaya, who was just eleven years old.

"Oh, look, look at my Hua Ya, she is so knowledgeable that she can say such words!" Old man Qian was very proud.

The new female workers of the Huang family hurriedly said, "The crime of selling out the workshop is the same as selling illegal salt. The Qin family told us about it before signing the contract. We all remember it and will not commit it."

Before signing the contract, Qin Xiaomi specifically explained to them what a semi-official enterprise was, and only signed the contract with them after they understood and knew the consequences of making mistakes.

"Your fried vegetarian meatballs are ready. Three cents. Please take them." The vendor from the Lu family handed the fried vegetarian meatballs to Huang Xiaotian and said with a smile, "I gave you one extra."

Huang Xiaotian was shocked and said, "How can this be so embarrassing?"

These are fried meatballs, fried in oil, with plenty of fat, and each one is worth half a penny.

The vendor from the Lu family smiled and said, "Why are you being polite? We also have a female villager from the Lu family going to the Qin family workshop for an interview today. You will be working together in the future."

The Lu family is a large family with nearly two thousand people, and not every household has stable jobs, so in this large-scale enrollment expansion, the Lu family also got twelve places.

It provided twelve households with a stable income.

Seeing this, the other vendors from the Lu family, thinking of the relationship between the Qin and Lu families, also became generous and gave more food to the people from the ghost village who came to buy cooked food.

Families with the surnames Chai, Zhang, Hu, Qian, Sun and Huang were extremely happy. At this moment, they felt that they had truly taken root in the Northeast Province.

They came here to escape famine and have always felt alienated from this place.

But now, because of the Qin family, they have some connections with the locals and have developed a sense of belonging.

"Thank you very much, thank you very much. We will come back to take care of your business after we get paid at the end of the month." The villagers of Ghost Village said as they happily returned to the Ghost Village carrying portions of greasy cooked food.

Two days later, a hundred new female workers officially started working.

However, some female workers' homes are too far from the town and it takes an hour to walk there.

"It takes two hours to go to and from work, and half a day is gone."

"Mrs. Cao Yang left home before dawn today. Today is the first day of work, so it was sent by Village Chief Cao and his wife, but we can't have people send us here every day."

"Her mother-in-law couldn't send them either. Her mother-in-law had to take care of all three children at home."

"There are sixteen other people in the same situation as Cao Yang. They all have to travel long distances and go to work in the dark," said Aunt Xu, who was in charge of the female workers' going to and from work.

Qin Xiaomi said, "For those who have a long way to go, we can allow them to arrive half an hour later or leave work earlier. Their wages will remain the same. I will first make up for the wages privately, and after discussing it with Deputy Envoy Yu, I will use the public account of the workshop."

If the imperial court is unwilling to give this benefit and wants to deduct the wages of the female workers, she can also make up for it herself.

It wasn't much money anyway, and if she could save the trouble of court approval by spending a little money, she would be happy to pay for it.

Aunt Xu: "This is indeed a lot easier, but you should ask your grandparents first... This is not just a matter of giving subsidies, you can't rely on others' courage."

Aunt Xu was afraid that Qin Xiaomi was too easy to talk to, which would make the female workers and the court think that she was someone who would easily give in.

Qin Xiaomi smiled and said, "Okay, I'll discuss this with my grandparents first."

"Okay." Only then did Aunt Xu feel relieved and went back to her work.

Qin Xiaomi didn't waste any time and immediately went to find her family and told them what happened.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

After hearing this, Grandpa Qin and Grandma Qin said, "Your Aunt Xu means well, but the female workers all come from families with hard times, and we don't need to add to their burdens... Let's first let them arrive half an hour later and leave half an hour earlier. As for whether to deduct money for this, our workshop will negotiate with the Xue family and the court."

Qin Xiaomi smiled and said, "My grandparents are really good people. Okay, let's do this for now."

On the same day, the female workers received the good news and were overjoyed. They all thanked the Qin family: "Thank you, Qin family, thank you, Qin family, we will definitely work hard."

Granny Qin Liu put her hands on her hips and scolded, "Don't thank me too early. It was my fifth brother and his wife's kindness that allowed you to leave half an hour earlier, but you can't think that my Qin family owes you anything!"

"Also, if the court still wants to deduct your wages after negotiating with you, you must agree, or you'll be kicked out!"

"Other female workers who don't have this benefit should not be jealous. Anyone who dares to be jealous can get out of here!"

"There is no shortage of female workers in my Qin family workshop. There are many who are vying to get in. Please be kind to me!"

The old and new female workers hurriedly said: "No, no, we will only thank the workshop and dare not complain!"

"Still want to complain? You don't deserve it!" Qin Liupo cursed with saliva flying everywhere.

But at times like this, a shrew like her is needed to calm the situation.

After Grandma Qin Liu finished scolding, Grandma Qin said, "Okay, let's all go back to work. Female workers who want to leave early should go and register with Manager Xu when they get off work."

Manager Xu is Aunt Xu.

Su, Qin Eryong's wife, Qiao Lizi, Qin Mei, and even Qin Liupo were in charge.

As the workshop expanded, several women were "promoted".

"Hey, hey, hey, thank you so much, Mrs. Qin Wu." After expressing her gratitude, the female workers left in an orderly manner, returned to the work site and continued to work.

Grandpa Qin has already informed Xue Dongjia, Deputy Envoy Yu, and Guan Shuli about this matter, and has made an appointment with them to discuss the matter tomorrow.

The next day, several parties met at the Qin family workshop to discuss the matter.

Deputy Envoy Yu was very easy to talk to, and did not make any fuss. He had only one request: "It's okay to give the female worker a discount, but it's better to credit this credit to Your Majesty, as a favor from Your Majesty to the people."
