The story of a noble girl

Chapter 31

Lin Xiaoning breathed a sigh of relief. In the past few months, buying land, resettling refugees, and opening workshops has been so busy that there is no time to relax.Brick kilns have to stop working when it snows, and everyone has to have a relaxing winter and a lively and prosperous year.

When buying new year's goods, the new villagers will distribute two taels of silver to each household as pocket money.They sent out all the ox carts and horse carts, and took a dozen or so new villagers to the county town to purchase. Mr. Lin and Mr. Dafang led the team, Xiaoxiang Xiaobao and Daniu Erniu happily followed, Lin Jiadong took Miss Fu's younger brother By the side, this child is very well-behaved, has always been taken by a village woman, never crying, and will be brought to the shop to meet the elder sister and grandma every once in a while to make their family happy.

Lin Xiaoning singled out a new village woman who could settle accounts, called Aunt Li, who was one of the 34 people this time. She was a bit ugly and had a very low self-esteem. I don't want her alone, I think she is ugly.She was very pleasantly surprised when she was taught Arabic arithmetic and common words, but when she heard that she was being asked to look after the store, she was frightened and said, don't let your face frighten the customers.It made Lin Xiaoning laugh out loud, but insisted that the elder brother take Aunt Li to the shop to replace Miss Fu this time.In the future, Ms. Fu will stay in the village and work with Aunt Zhang to manage the cotton towel workshop, and at the same time, she can get closer to her elder brother.The shop is inseparable from people, so Grandma Fu and Aunt Li are allowed to guard first, but Grandma Fu will definitely be brought back a year ago, and only Aunt Li is left to receive orders for cotton towels. In the county town, Aunt Li can still go to the shop from time to time When Zhuangzi looked at his son, he felt happy.

The two brothers of the Wang family naturally wanted to follow. The group set off for the county seat. The momentum was too great.

Only Lin Xiaoning stayed behind, not because he didn't want to go, but because he was afraid of the huge team, and because it happened to be the workshop's audit day every ten days, Lin Xiaoning had to settle the accounts.

This investigation revealed some problems. According to the ledger, during this period, the Lizheng family’s mother-in-law and daughter-in-law handed in an astonishing amount of sweaters and pants, with an average of two and a half sets per person per day. The speed of knitting sweaters is not human speed. .

Lin Xiaoning immediately went to the hut to look for the village head, but the village head was not there, and in the hut farthest from the Lin family, he found Li Zheng, his mother-in-law and his daughter-in-law, wearing permanent fake satin jackets, dazzlingly colorful.The three of them were sitting in a thatched hut with three women from Yuantao Village, swinging their legs and knocking on melon seeds.A pile of more or less finished sweaters and pants was placed beside the six of them.The others are all refugee women, bowing their heads and keeping their sweaters and pants in their hands.

I only heard Mrs. Lizheng say: "You are wise, my head is Lizheng, who can manage everyone in this village." The two daughters-in-law also agreed: "Even the Lin family must be managed by our father-in-law." The other three The women headed by Huang Maozi Niang also said: "Yes, yes, Li is the biggest official in our village!"

Lin Xiaoning understood what was going on as soon as he listened to it. The anger started in his heart, and when the village chief came, he said out of breath, "Oh, I finally found you."

Lin Xiaoning pointed to the backs of those flowers and said, "Village Chief, is this why you came to me?"

The six people turned around when they heard the voice, and saw the village head and Lin Xiaoning standing outside the door, Lin Xiaoning was full of anger.Immediately fearful, Huangmao Ziniang and the other two women lowered their heads timidly, but Lizheng's wife straightened her waist and said bluffingly: "It was originally, my head of the family is Lizheng, your Lin family and the village chief are both It shall be under my control."

Lin Xiaoning felt an evil little beast moving in her heart, fire spewed out of her eyes, she stepped forward two times, slapped her face, and swung her across the face, Lizheng's wife was dumbfounded immediately, covering her face that was slapped She was so shocked that she couldn't speak, her mouth was opened wide, and the white crushed melon seeds still stuck to her lips.

Lin Xiaoning yelled: "Village Chief, go and call me that stupid Lizheng."

The village head gestured to the women with his eyes, and then hurried away.

Lin Xiaoning stared at Mrs. Lizheng, and asked word by word: "The head of your family can take care of my Lin family, right? Then I'll ask your head of the family to come and see how he takes care of my Lin family's affairs." Then he looked at everyone. The woman asked: "Also, the three of them exploited your labor so much, why didn't you say it!"

Seeing the situation, the three women headed by Huang Mao Zi Niang quietly retreated behind the crowd.

Mrs. Lizheng came back to her senses, and screamed loudly: "You stinky girl, how dare you hit me..."

The two daughters-in-law also came back to their senses, screaming: "You...you dare to hit my mother-in-law..."

While the three were talking, they were stopped by the women to prevent them from touching Lin Xiaoning's body.

Lin Xiaoning said angrily: "I hit you today, what's the matter? From the Zheng family, you are the only scum like you from the Li Zheng family? How many of you..." Lin Xiaoning cursed at the three women who retreated to the back: "I can afford this kind of wages, and I will work for you. If you don’t work hard, you still follow Lizheng’s mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to exploit them! You gang of greedy and snake-like guys! Poor these village women have finally fallen from refugee status to Taocun. They have worked hard without any complaints. A place full of warmth and shelter from wind and rain. How dare you exploit them, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of your dignified family, and you, how dare you do such shameless things?"

"Then they don't charge you for what they do. Isn't it because you paid us a little more? Your Lin family has a big business and a lot of money and land, and money is so important." Li Zheng The mother-in-law pouted.

Lin Xiaoning wanted to slap her again, pointing at her and scolding: "Stinky woman, listen to me, no matter how rich my Lin family is, I wouldn't throw a penny to scum like you. I have that money, why don't I take more of it?" The homeless people all fall into Taocun, let them have food, clothing, work, and a place to live, so as not to insult my Lin family's money."

All the women burst into tears as soon as they heard it, and some couldn't help crying. For a while, there was a lot of shouting, cursing and crying in the hut.

Li Zheng came running behind the village chief. Seeing this, he stepped forward and slapped his mother-in-law again, cursing: "You unworthy bastard, I'll find you a job to make trouble like this." Come, go back, come back with me." Mrs. Lizheng lowered her head, her face turned red and purple, and she didn't dare to make a sound.

Lin Xiaoning was still angry, and asked: "Your mother-in-law said that Mr. Lizheng is an official in charge of the affairs of the whole village, including the affairs of my Lin family. I want to ask Mr. Lizheng. I beat your mother-in-law. How does Lord Zheng want to manage the law?"

"Stupid woman," Li Zheng was trembling with anger, turned his face and said to Lin Xiaoning with a smile, "This stupid woman, talk nonsense, fight well, girl, you have the courage and ideas, how can I control your Lin family?" As for the matter, don't worry about listening to this stupid woman gossiping."

"Lord Lizheng, the wages paid to the three of her these days will be paid back tomorrow, otherwise don't blame me for being rude to a girl, just this once, take them back immediately, don't let me watch An eyesore."

Li Zheng took the three of them away in a panic.

"And the three of you, it's the same, return all the wages that have been paid for a while..."

Before Lin Xiaoning could finish speaking, Huangmaozi Niang started to piss off, screaming, "Why should I return my wages? Which of your eyes saw that I took someone else's sweater."

"Shut up," Lin Xiaoning angrily said, "I can see you taking other people's sweaters with all my eyes, and everyone here can see you taking other people's knitted sweaters too, yellow-haired bastard , you are responsible for any ugly and ugly things in the village."

Lin Xiaoning scolded at this point, remembering the fight between the old woman and Xiao Xiang and the four of them, she suddenly became vicious again, rushed forward and slapped Huang Maozi's mother.

Huangmaozi Niang pretended to fight back, but was held back by the women who had forgotten to cry, so she howled: "Come on, come on, the Lin family is bullying and beating people." Then she sat down on the ground, Play a rogue.

Lin Xiaoning was furious, and said to Huangmaozi Niang: "Listen to me, I will deceive you today, what's the matter?" As soon as he said this, he was really happy, "Now my Lin family has a lot of money, a lot of land, and a lot of money. , bullied you, beat you, what do you do, ah, if you are not satisfied, go to Lizheng’s house to sue, all three of you go to Lizheng’s house to complain, if not, go to the county magistrate’s place to complain, I will prepare for you Carriage, don’t think that you can do whatever you want, tell you, you have to work hard and decently, have I ever missed a penny of your wages, ah, have you paid your wages a day late, ah, a fool who can only be absurd, Village chief, pull me out, don't let me look at you, think clearly before going to work."

The women dragged Huangmao Ziniang and the other two women out, and then returned to the hut, all looking at Lin Xiaoning with shining eyes.

The village head laughed and said: "Now you know the prestige of your second lady. I have learned it a long time ago. In the future, if this kind of thing happens again, I have to say, you can't hide it. You are also from Taocun, not beggars and refugees. gone."

What he said made the women cry again.
