Chapter 421 Geng Chunhua plays the villain
"I come when I want to. You are really like a dung beetle trying to stick feathers into a chicken. You really think you are a sparrow." The Wang family immediately retorted.
"Who do you think you are..."
"Alright!" Gu Qingqing, who was standing by and seeing that the other party was about to start a fight, her face darkened and she shouted.
Seeing that the two of them stopped talking after she shouted, she forced a smile on her face, although she knew that the smile would not reach her eyes, "Dear aunts and uncles, my family is hiring today. It would make me proud if you could come to support me. If you have any unhappiness in my family because of my recruitment..."
Gu Qingqing paused here, glanced at everyone, and smiled even more. "I originally thought that there are not many places where wives in the village can earn money, so I wanted to give everyone a chance to earn some money to supplement their family expenses. If you are unhappy about this, then I would rather not recruit people from the village."
"Stop it, Qingqing, let them make trouble. We are still here, use us, use us." She was afraid that the fish pond would be affected, so she quickly spoke up for herself.
"We are all from the same village, what are you doing? Tell me, I saw you in the village yesterday and you all agreed to ask your daughters-in-law and granddaughters-in-law if they are willing. If they want to come, they should come this morning to let Qingqing see them. You are fine, you just lack to bring your family with you. What? Are you worried that Qingqing will eat you? Don't you know who Qingqing is?" Geng Chunhua, wearing an apron on her body, came out of the inner courtyard at a brisk pace.
After she finished speaking, she didn't give anyone else a chance to speak. She walked over to the crowd and continued, "Aunt, what are you doing here? Why didn't your wife and granddaughter-in-law come with you? You don't want to come to work? You are so old, you should be enjoying yourself at home, why do you come here to suffer? And Aunt Niu, yesterday I asked you to ask Dongya to come and try, why didn't Dongya come when you came? Chunxiang, you are about to give birth, right? Why don't you stay at home and take care of yourself? Qingqing felt sorry for Meihua when she was pregnant and didn't let her go to work in town, not to mention you, who is about to become a mother."
Geng Chunhua launched a barrage of attacks at the people in the yard in the crowd.
This is because she is a girl from Niutoushan Village, so it is fine for her to say this. If any other daughter-in-law said such words, she would be drowned in spit from the villagers.
But what she said made sense. She was very positive when she announced the news yesterday, and almost all of these people were given the information by her. Since she brought these people here to cause trouble for Qingqing, how could she keep silent?
Some of the people present were old or otherwise unqualified and just wanted to come here to try their luck, but they didn't expect to be rejected outright.
The people who were being talked about all smiled awkwardly and explained that they just came to take a look. Only Wang Chunxiang lowered her head and pursed her lips without saying a word. She really wanted to work in Qingqing's house.
She is now living in her mother's house. Her brothers don't say anything, but her sister-in-law has been in a bad mood recently. Her mother's family originally built a new house for her brother to marry, but this matter has now been delayed.
Geng Chunhua knew that she was just here to take a look. She knew it in her heart, but she was happy with everyone else, as if nothing had happened. "I told you, let's take a look. We are all neighbors, so we should visit each other more often. We agreed to the end of the 7th hour, and since everyone is here, let's take a break here. When the time is up, Qingqing will start selecting people."
Gu Qingqing didn't say a word during the whole process. It was just that Geng Chunhua had a louder voice than her, so she said some things that she was not convenient to say.
She didn't realize that Geng Chunhua had the ability to play the villain.
Seeing the crowd quiet down, Gu Qingqing, the good guy, said with a smile, "Everyone wait a little longer, in case someone is still on the way."
"Hey, we're not in a hurry. We haven't been to your house for a long time. The flowers in your house are so beautiful." Someone pointed at the roses at the foot of Gu Qingqing's wall and said.
"I was wondering too, what kind of flower is this? I've never seen it before and it blooms so beautifully." Someone agreed.
Gu Qingqing stepped forward to explain to them.
After admiring the flowers with everyone for a while, Gu Qingqing saw that the time was almost up, so she started to get down to business.
She coughed heavily, drawing everyone's attention to herself, and then said slowly, "Aunt, my family is going to open a soap workshop. I'm very happy that everyone can come. I think Sister Chunhua has already told everyone the conditions yesterday. I want a young daughter-in-law."
"Qingqing, we know this, but what is soap?" someone in the crowd asked curiously.
It's not surprising that people in the group didn't know. First, the Wen family lived outside the village, and only a few people came to visit them, and only a few people knew about it. Second, Gu Qingqing did little at the beginning and had no interest in promoting it in the village. Later, after partnering with Mrs. Shen, she made soap and sent it directly to the town. Third, her family now hired several people in the village. Because they all signed a confidentiality agreement, they couldn't tell what they could say and what they couldn't say, and finally chose not to say anything.
So many people in the village had no idea what her family was doing.
Seeing that people were curious, Gu Qingqing smiled and briefly explained what soap was.
"Ah? There is such a good thing. You said you made it, but why don't you sell it in the village so that our villagers can use it first. I haven't even seen what it looks like." Someone in the crowd spoke up.
Gu Qingqing raised her lips and said, "I didn't think it through. I'll have someone bring out the soap for everyone to see. Now I won't waste your time. I'll first tell you about the wages I'll give you."
Although everyone already knew roughly how much the wages were, when the real person said it out loud, everyone even held their breath, wanting to hear if it was that number.
Gu Qingqing was stared at by everyone. She coughed lightly and continued, "Working in my workshop, you will get 500 wen in the first month, and 600 wen every month if you do well. There are also benefits at the end of the year. The specific benefits are kept secret for now. In addition, as long as you finish the work for the day, you can go home. If someone has something to do and can't come for a day, the wages you get will be one day less."
Everyone was already very excited when they heard that they could earn 500 Wen a month. Now, when they heard that there would be benefits at the end of the year? They couldn't hide the excitement on their faces. At this moment, they all wished that they could come to Qingqing's house to work.
"I've already talked about the treatment, so let me be frank. This is a craft in my family. Everyone who works in my workshop needs to sign a confidentiality agreement. They cannot take what they learned from me back home and do it themselves in any form or method, or give it to their family, their mother's family, or any outsiders. Once it is discovered who leaked it, they must compensate me with 500 taels of silver."
hiss!
After Gu Qingqing said this, the crowd went wild again.
"Five hundred taels? I have to be careful. Let alone five hundred taels, I haven't even seen fifty taels."
"If it's not Qingqing, why should I pay you for working here?"
“That’s too much.”
Gu Qingqing noticed everyone's hesitation, and now she said, "Aunts and uncles, think about it, if you work hard for me and don't tell anyone the recipe, then my clause will not take effect. I can't teach you how to do it and then you come back and steal my business."
Gu Qingqing said in a joking tone.
