Chapter 229 I'll Make You Mad
Guo Xiuqin was still thinking about something when she saw Guan He winking at her. Her panicked mood was instantly calmed down. She turned her head to look at the group of women who were still standing there, and suddenly became furious.

"What are you still standing there for? Go home quickly and pack up your own needles, threads and scissors in the workshop. Get ready to go to work tomorrow. Now everything is going well, right? Shen Meng doesn't care anymore, and the workshop is closed. From now on, no one can talk about the salary anymore. Let's go, everyone!"

"Comrade Shen Meng, it's us leaders who didn't set a good example. We said at the meeting that if anyone dared to hinder the village's financial resources, we would drive them out of Lujia Village. Haha, they understand that the law does not punish the masses. A group of people came together and ruined this workshop. A few bad apples spoiled the whole pot of porridge. The bright future of the village was ruined by a few of us. Director, I'm going to apply to the commune to transfer my work as branch secretary. I can't manage it well."

What is there to not understand? Director Guo was as anxious as a monkey just now, but he changed his mind the next moment. Looking at the attitudes of the director and Shen Meng, it is obvious that they are playing a double game. Instead of just going back like this later, it would be better to add fuel to the fire and make things bigger. Not only Lujia Village, but also Shenjiaji in the future can learn from their Lujia Village's precedent.

All those who have benefited from this should never forget that the reason they can live a good life is entirely because of Shen Meng’s kindness and benevolence.

"Not really, not really, Hongfa, you have done a very good job as the branch secretary in recent years. The workshop is a big family. Some people are just taking advantage of others and need to be taught a lesson. This has nothing to do with you. Just do your job as the branch secretary well. I and the commune's secretaries all praise you highly, which is enough to prove that you have done a very good job in recent years. If you feel tired, let Debang work harder. And old branch secretary, take a few days off and have a good rest at home. Don't worry."

"The director is right. Secretary, you can't just leave so many members of Lujia Village alone. Although our village's workshop is no longer viable, after the Shenjiaji workshop opens, some of our villagers can go to work there. Xiangxiang, Xifeng, Sister Guihua, and Aunt Jin can all go there. After all, it's not far away, and we're all acquaintances, so it'll be more convenient for us to do anything."

Shen Meng also followed suit to persuade others. After listening to her, Zhang Hongfa sighed and nodded reluctantly.

After coming out of the office, the group of women looked confused. They thought that the workshop problem could be solved by finding the commune director, but they didn't expect it to be directly declared a failure. Even the branch secretary was ready to hand over the work, which showed that they were really sad.

Guo Xiuqin and Zhang Hongfa walked towards Lujia Village with Shen Meng. Although they knew what was going on, they also understood that the workshops in the village would no longer be able to operate until Shen Meng returned from the provincial capital.

"After returning to the village, Director Guo will go to Jinghao and ask her to pick out all the unqualified hairpins. All right, you village cadres will go to the supply and marketing cooperative together. I have informed them and they will accept it. No matter what, we must settle the wages first. We also have to clean up the mess at the canteen."

Shen Meng thought that if the two interested foreigners from the provincial capital really placed an order, the quantity would definitely not be small. However, just two foreign guests placing orders was not what she wanted, so she also planned to go to Haicheng.

It is the fashion capital of the future, and there are many markets to be developed. Even if you can't find customers, it's good to go and see the popular hair styles in big cities at this time. At least you can accumulate some materials. The people following behind felt a little guilty when they heard that Shen Meng was still thinking about the villagers at this point. However, a few people who were too embarrassed to show off still looked up.

"Okay, no matter what, you have worked hard during this period, Xiao Meng. You should work hard in the future and manage the Shenjiaji workshop well. If you need help from me and Hongfa Debang, just ask."

"Hey, thank you, auntie, but I don't think so. This time I applied for a temporary salary from the director. I was stupid before, thinking that my family would live a better life, but many families in the village still have a lot of food and clothes. I want to do my best. Since I have done my best, I want to help some of the suffering girls and sisters-in-law in the village to stand up, the eldest girls can save some dowry for themselves, and the sisters-in-law can earn some money to buy good things for themselves and their children. I didn't expect that my good intentions would be accused of taking advantage of it. Instead of being accused, I might as well get some benefits for myself, otherwise I don't know how others will frame us in the future!"

Director Guo and Zhang Hongfa both had no objection to this point. This was how it should be. After all, the director had mentioned it once when the workshop was built last time, but at that time Shen Meng gave the benefits to a few village cadres. They were relieved that Shen Meng was thinking of them this time!
"Haha, you talk nicely, but you just want to gain fame for yourself. Don't you think we don't know that the hair flower workshop is no longer viable? I'm not afraid of you. You talk as if you are thinking about us. You shouldn't have set such a low salary in the first place. If you really want to do good for us, you should have fought for more."

"Okay, stop making a fuss. Didn't Xiao Meng get a higher salary later? It's just that you can't do embroidery work and can't earn that much money. When you were making hair flowers yesterday, I saw you throwing several unqualified ones into the basket. If you say that you ruined the workshop, you also have a share of the credit."

"Bah, you are so ashamed to say that to me. You were the worst offender in the quarrel with Shen Meng that day. Now you want to be a good person. I tell you, no way. Even if you kneel down and lick her feet now, she won't give you any benefits."

"Sister Hua is right. Since we are all thinking about the village, what's the difference between you and Jiaojiao in charge? She can't be in charge. You are all members of the Lu family, and you are still dividing this and that. You have to go to work, and Jiaojiao is pregnant to help. What a good sister-in-law, such a blessing, and you are still not satisfied."

Shen Meng: “.”

Since you are so blessed, do you want it? ! !
"Whatever you say, it's not me who can't make money, it's not me who can't eat, it's not me who can't afford clothes, and it's still not me who makes my children suffer. Not only can I get a normal salary from work, but I can also get an extra income from the commune. I can buy whatever I want and eat whatever I want. You can continue to make trouble. Next time, maybe I will find a factory and set up a workshop in another village, and make more money, which will make you mad to death."

Everyone: "."

It hurts, it hurts so much, it hurts so badly!!!
