Chapter 138 We Can't Just Let It Go
Before leaving, Lu Shao told Qiao Ye that Master Ji was in a hurry for the Mo Ju candle.
So Qiao Ye began to study the color and fragrance of black chrysanthemum.
After the old lady came back, she rested for a while at home and then took her eldest daughter-in-law to visit several of the poorest families in the village.
Then hire people to work in the workshop.
These people really didn't expect that such a pie would fall from the sky.
I am very grateful to the old lady.
This was also a feeling that Mrs. Lu had never experienced before, and she felt very proud.
In addition to being humble, she smiled and boasted that this was proposed by her grandson and granddaughter-in-law, and she supported it very much.
The old lady knew that scholars wanted a good reputation.
Recently, she liked her grandson Lu Shao, so she helped him build a good reputation.
The praise for Qiao Ye was even more sincere.
After all, Qiao Ye is now her most caring and favorite granddaughter-in-law.
Soon, everyone in the village knew about it.
At first, everyone was puzzled as to why the Lu family hired those old, weak, sick and disabled people to do the work.
The old lady said that her grandson and granddaughter-in-law were kind-hearted and wanted to help these families.
But it is better to teach people how to fish than to help them in emergencies and to give them fish.
So we hired these families to work in the workshop, and we won’t have to worry about our livelihood anymore.
Of course, the first two sentences were what Qiao Ye taught her to say.
We need to let the villagers know that they can help, but they also have to work hard.
After listening to the old lady's explanation, the villagers seemed to understand but not quite.
But I also understand one thing: there is no free pie in the world.
Because these families were living a hard life, most people were sympathetic and so no one gossiped about them.
But there were two equally poor families who couldn't help but make trouble for the old lady because they were not chosen.
They also said that Lu Shao and Qiao Ye looked down on people, so why did they exclude them? They didn't agree.
Then the old lady pointed at his nose and scolded him.
They said they were shameless and that the whole village knew about their lazy and sneaky behavior.
Their family runs a workshop, not a charity. If we employ both families, it would be like supporting them for nothing.
Maybe even get your things stolen.
They have beautiful thoughts, which are just like dreams.
He was even more relentless and invited the village chief and clan leader to come and judge the case.
This was what Qiao Ye had told her in advance.
Sure enough, the two families were scolded by the village chief and the clan leader, who said that the Lu family was kind-hearted but did not owe anyone anything.
Just choose whoever you want to hire for a job.
If anyone in the village interferes or tries to force their way into the Lu family, they will be the first to disagree.
Now that a workshop has been built in the village, the Lu family is more concerned about helping poor families.
In the future, when the workshop expands and more manpower is needed, other villagers will be hired.
Of course they can't let a few bad apples spoil the whole pot of broth, so they will keep an eye on it personally.
The village chief even announced that anyone who dared to cause trouble at the Lu family because of the workshop and tried to force the Lu family to hire anyone to work would be driven out of the village.
Seeing how strong the village chief was, those who still wanted to make trouble had no choice but to give up.
Among them is the Qiao family.
Old Mrs. Qiao felt extremely jealous when she saw Old Mrs. Lu being surrounded by a group of people from the village, who were trying to please her and flatter her.
I felt so uncomfortable that I took my daughter-in-law back home.
The more I thought about Mrs. Qiao, the angrier she got.
Ask the grandson to call all the families to the upper room.
Except for Qiao Laosi, everyone else arrived one after another.
Qiao Laoda asked with a smile: "Mom, what do you want us to do?"
Old Mrs. Qiao squinted her triangular eyes and asked, "Did you know that the Lu family opened a workshop and hired people to work?"
When this was mentioned, Boss Qiao got angry and said, "I know."
"The Lu family has earned so much money that they don't even know their surnames. They still spend money to hire people to do the work. They are such a loser."
"With this little money, there's nothing wrong with doing something else."
"They hired the poorest families in the village. That's really wrong."
If they were in the same situation, they would just step on those companies and never hire them to do the work.
This kind of kindness seems stupid to them.
Others also had strong opinions about this matter and followed suit in cursing.
After they finished scolding, Old Lady Qiao said, "That's right, the Lu family really just made a few bucks and wasted them."
"And that damn girl San Ya is totally betraying her."
"When I was at home, I didn't tell you to make candles and mosquito coils to sell."
"When she went to the Lu family, she brought out this money-making recipe. She simply didn't care about her mother's family at all."
Watching the old Lu family making money by selling mosquito coils and candles, they bought mountains and land, built workshops and hired people to work.
She had been feeling so bad that she hadn't had a good night's sleep for several days, and she felt angry and bitter whenever she thought about it.
Just then, Qiao Laosi walked in with a ruddy face and a slight smell of alcohol.
He just happened to hear what Old Lady Qiao said.
He immediately agreed loudly, "Yes, this should be our recipe, but now it's getting a bargain for the Lu family."
When Mrs. Qiao saw her youngest son like this, she couldn't help but scold him, "Why did you go out to drink? You have a few cents and you're wasting them."
Qiao Laosi ignored his mother's scolding and walked over to sit down.
He smiled proudly, "This wine today was invited by others to drink it, so it doesn't cost any money."
"And because of this dinner, I learned about an opportunity to make a fortune."
When the old lady heard that it was free and that it was someone else's treat, she stopped scolding.
She has always supported anything that can gain an advantage.
After hearing the latter part, she couldn't help but ask: "What opportunity to make a fortune? Tell me quickly."
She is now annoyed by the Lu family's panic and wishes her family could start a few profitable businesses.
People from other rooms also looked at Qiao Laosi, waiting for him to speak eagerly.
Qiao Laosi first slowly poured himself a glass of water.
After finishing the drink, he looked at the Qiao family and asked, "Do you know how much money that damn girl San Ya made from selling candles?"
Qiao Laoer said: "I heard that he made more than three hundred taels, and used it all to buy a mountain and land to build a workshop."
He added: "This is something that the whole village has heard about. It is not a secret."
Qiao Laosi raised his hand and shook it, "You have been deceived."
"I heard that Mr. Ji from the county town came to San Ya to order custom candles and gave her eight hundred taels of silver."
"He also said that he would continue to give after the money was spent."
"And this is just the money from the candles. I heard that they made over a hundred taels from selling mosquito coils recently."
"That's why the Lu family was so generous to spend two or three hundred taels of silver to buy useless barren mountains and bamboo mountains."
Hearing this, Old Lady Qiao and the others were so shocked that their eyes widened, "What, eight hundred taels?"
"Is it true? Who told you that?"
They found it unlikely that candles, which were so precious, could be sold for eight hundred taels.
Qiao Laosi said: "I bumped into Yu Laoliu by chance today, and we were drinking and chatting together, and he accidentally let the secret slip."
"I stared at him and forced him to tell me, and then he told me reluctantly."
"He heard it from his sister and brother-in-law. His sister saw with her own eyes the eight hundred taels of silver that Master Ji gave her."
"And told me not to tell anyone."
When Old Mrs. Qiao heard this, she felt extremely heartbroken.
She couldn't help but patted the table, "Great! Sanya is such a treacherous little bitch."
"I made so much money from selling candles, but I never thought of giving some to my parents."
Others couldn't help but get angry, and they felt so sorry and sour, so they started to criticize one after another.
Qiao Laosi waited for them to finish scolding, then rolled his eyes and said, "Mom, the candles and mosquito coils made by San Ya were originally our family's recipes."
"She is too much of a traitor. She is digging into her mother's family to subsidize her husband's family."
"It's absolutely abominable. We can't just let it go like this."
Old Mrs. Qiao particularly agreed, "Yes, we can't just let it go like this."
Others said, "Yes, let's go get the recipe back. We can't let the Lu family get away with it."
That’s eight hundred taels!
No, there are still hundreds of taels of mosquito coils for sale.
If you continue selling it for a while, you will make a total of thousands of taels of silver.
They had never seen so much silver in their lives.
Thinking of this, everyone in the Qiao family couldn't help but breathe faster.
Boss Qiao and the others stood up one after another and said, "Let's go to the Lu family to get our recipe."
It doesn’t matter whether the recipe is from their family or not.
Anyway, they insisted that it was that damn girl San Ya who stole the recipe from home and brought it to the Lu family.
