Chapter 1223
Tao Huaniang was taken aback, didn't she finish talking?
Song continued, "My lord, we don't need the money, we should take it as a loss and have a long memory, but this punishment is indispensable. Now the quarry in the town is being mined, and there is a shortage of manpower. If the money is not paid, the lord sentenced these people. Labor labor, going to the quarry to work for a year can be regarded as the contribution of the women's family to Anhua Town."

Mr. Zhao thought for a while, then couldn't help but nodded, "Okay, this method is good, I will follow your wishes."

Wang Chunhua and the others' eyes widened, "No way, the work in this quarry is so tiring, my lord, women are women, how can women do that work? The Song family is clearly trying to torture us on purpose. "

Master Zhao snorted coldly, "This kind of punishment is already very light, otherwise you will pay 500 taels of silver, or you will go to jail."

Wang Chunhua had nothing to say, but felt very aggrieved. In her opinion, Mrs. Song was so cruel that she even wanted them to do coolies. They were all from the same village, so they couldn't be more worried?
She obviously forgot that it was she who made the mistake first, and one year's hard labor was exchanged for 500 taels of silver, no matter how you look at it, it was more cost-effective for her.

Probably in Wang Chunhua's heart, she felt that the Song family should let them go and not punish them. After all, they belonged to the same village, and there was love for them.

The final verdict is like this, the quarry is mining stones, which is the business of the yamen, and the stones can be sold after being ground, and the income is from the yamen, which is used to build Anhua Town.

The quarry has always been short of people, so it is normal to use hard labor instead of prisons, especially women, who are generally not put into large prisons, and the Yamen does not have so many cells to live in.

Xu Ruyue and Ming Lang didn't go to see Mr. Zhao at this time. Although this matter was judged impartially, it would be hard to say if people knew that she and Mr. Zhao were acquainted.

When the group returned to the village, many people were discussing secretly, and soon two voices appeared.

"Have you seen that, Mrs. Song is too cruel, after all, she is still in the same village, and even sent people to work in the quarry. The work in that place must be so exhausting that you can't stand up straight?"

"Hey, that's not what Xu Ruyue meant, can't you see it? This Mrs. Song listens to her daughter. Xu Ruyue is not easy to mess with. She was so cruel to the Xu family before, let alone the same village. This is a bit of affection."

"I really didn't expect that she would do such a thing. It's too cruel."

These villagers started to chew their tongues when they encountered problems, but some people couldn't stand it.

Xiuyunniang and the other women who worked in the embroidery workshop were very angry when they heard this, "What are you talking about? Why is Ruyue so cruel? It was originally Wang Chunhua and the others who made a mistake. Should he be punished?"

Being refuted, the person who was gossiping just now was a little unhappy, and snorted softly, "Then there's no need to let people go to work in the quarry, right? She's so tired, so she doesn't say anything about it?"

Xiu Yunniang curled her lips, "What's wrong with going to the quarry? If you don't go, will they lose money? 500 taels of silver, who can get it? Now a year of hard labor is exchanged for 500 taels of silver. If you can't go on, you'll become cruel when you come to your place. According to your opinion, Ruyue should not say anything and let this matter go. Why should he? It's not because he owes the villagers."

Hearing this, those women stopped talking, and another person who was with Xiu Yunniang said, "That's right, don't be too heartless, I think this matter is tolerant enough, what else can I say? People are doing what the sky is watching, even if you are talking gossip, take it easy, don't wait for the day when God can't stand it anymore, and let those tongue-chewing mouths be full of sores."

The other few became angry, "Who are you talking about?"

"Whoever is talking about it, let's go, I'm too lazy to talk to these unreasonable people."

This matter spread quickly in the village, and some people who didn't go to the yamen to watch the excitement now know it now, and there are still more people on Xu Ruyue's side.

Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Wang were very scared. They didn't know anything about Wang Chunhua's place, and Wang Chunhua never looked for them.

But with their temper, if Wang Chunhua came to him, they would definitely agree.

If this is agreed, the Xu family will be even more embarrassed now.

Seeing the end of Wang Chunhua and others, Zhang and Wang also realized one thing. Sure enough, Xu Ruyue can't be messed with, otherwise he would have to pay the price anyway. In the future, really don't provoke Xu Ruyue and work in the embroidery workshop fine.

Xu Ruyue didn't have time to express her views on these discussions in the village. Right now, there was a shortage of people in the embroidery workshop. If the business would not be affected, she had to recruit people quickly.

She discussed it with Lizheng, and asked Lizheng to go to several nearby villages to talk with Lizheng from other villages, so that all the women in the village who were willing to come would come and work, and the wages were the same as those in Yongning Village.

The surrounding villages also heard about the matter of Wang Chunhua and others. For a while, many people were still afraid, and they couldn't figure out the contract and the like. What can I do after entering?
But there are still those who are brave enough to figure out the ins and outs of this matter, and feel that as long as they are honest, nothing will happen, so they come here.

After working for a few days, everyone felt that it was very good, and went back to promote it to the villagers.

"Oh, you guys are really overthinking. The owner of the embroidery workshop is very nice. They also bring tea and snacks every day. These days, they also send fruits. There are big watermelons and grapes, which are delicious. These are all free of money, and the embroidery work is not picky, as long as it is done seriously and there are no mistakes, people will accept it, it depends on whether you are serious about your work or not."

Having said that, many people were tempted, "What about the silver, is it really that much wages? Have you given it?"

"Of course I did. I'll give you the embroidery as soon as I receive it. Let me tell you, this job is really good. They are recruiting people now. If you go late, you might not want them if you have enough people. If you have the heart You have to hurry up."

The kind-hearted man felt itchy and wanted to go, "I heard that you have to press your fingerprint on the contract, can you not press this? 500 taels of silver, who can afford it?"

The man curled his lips, "What can you do if you press your fingerprints? As long as you are honest, people can still make things difficult for you, right? Their contract is to punish those who have crooked thoughts. If you act upright and sit upright , who can trouble you?"

"Anyway, I'm not afraid of this, and I don't have any wrong thoughts. If you want to work hard, you really don't need to worry about this."
