Chapter 241 Then Kneel, I'm Not Afraid of Shortening My Life
Shen Meng waited for a while before she saw a group of people marching into the yard. Yongqiang and his children were startled and stood up and ran into the house. Xie Jinghao saw that the people leading the way were several village cadres, so she quickly stood up and prepared to greet them. However, before she could stand up, a hand appeared on her leg and pushed her back into the chair.
The villagers were standing in the yard. Seeing that Shen Meng didn't even stand up, they looked a little embarrassed for a moment. They had long lost their original arrogance. No one dared to speak first at this moment, for fear that Shen Meng would suddenly explode with temper and turn around to attack whoever spoke first.
Seeing that no one spoke, Director Guo glanced at Lu Debang and Zhang Hongfa, then glanced at the people behind her. Seeing that they all lowered their heads, she couldn't help but roll her eyes.
"Xiao Meng, our villagers said they have something to tell you. They wanted to find you before, but they heard that you went to the provincial capital a few days ago. Now, everyone is waiting for you to come back. Hehe, the food workshop over there in Shenjiaji is about to be built. The manager of the factory also came to see it and said it's pretty good. It's really responsible. Have you gone to take a look? How is it?"
Shen Meng did not respond to Aunt Guo immediately. She took a sip of water and then slowly looked at the people in the yard.
"Hi, I just came back and haven't had time to go take a look. When I was in the provincial capital, I called the non-staple food factory to ask about it. They said that the environment, hygiene, and staff were all very good, and everyone actively cooperated. No one made any trouble. I felt relieved when I heard that. When I was in the provincial capital, I called seven or eight supply and marketing cooperatives, and I am also negotiating with the provincial garment factory. I am just waiting for the cakes to come out and send a batch of samples over. If the leaders of the garment factory think it is good, they will plan to purchase cakes from the workshop as gifts for the workers during festivals in the future. Although I don't know the specific results yet, it is good news."
Everyone was stunned when they heard this. They didn't expect Shen Meng to receive such a large order at once. They heard that there were hundreds of people working in the garment factory in the provincial capital. With so many holidays in a year, if no worker sent even one or two garments, how much money would this cost!
Of course, there is also the reputation. The name of their Shenjiaji workshop will be known to people in the provincial garment factories in the future. If word spreads ten to ten and a hundred to ten, won’t it become a brand?
This makes it seem like the people in Lujia Village are a bunch of fools. They ignored Shen Meng, a gold nugget, and instead went to find Zhou Jiaojiao to make the decision.
Now that other villages have risen up, Lujia Village will be so busy that they won’t even be able to keep up with the excitement.
"Little Dream."
"I just came back yesterday, and I'm flattered that so many people in the village came to see me. Everyone can go back after seeing me. I'm fine. Thank you for your concern!"
Hearing Shen Meng's obvious refusal, everyone's faces looked a little ugly, but most of them were afraid. If Shen Meng really didn't want to go back, it would be difficult for them to explain themselves when they returned home.
"Xiao Meng, I'm Sister Cui, do you remember me? Hehe, I came to your house to pay New Year's greetings during the Chinese New Year, and you gave my child a handful of candy. The child has always remembered your kindness, and calls you Aunt Xiao Meng every time he sees you. Aunt Xiao Meng, hehe, when Director Guo asked me to go to the workshop, I didn't dare to go. When she said it was you who arranged it, I went without saying a word. When the workshop got noisy that day, I had already gone home to cook after work. The person in charge was replaced, and I didn't know about it until the next day, so I didn't go at all. Really, Xiao Meng, I only recognize you."
"Yes, yes, Xiao Meng, I was the same as Sister Cui. I also went home after work. I had to take care of the children and the house, wash clothes and cook. I always ran home as soon as I got off work. It was the next day when I knew someone else was taking over. I was so angry that my heart ached. None of us are ungrateful people. We didn't go over the next day. We didn't come to see you during the days you were at home, for fear of upsetting you."
"That's right. Although Director Guo brought us here to invite you back, we have already discussed it privately. If you want to come back, then come back. If you don't want to come back, no one can force you. People are all made of flesh and blood. What they said at the beginning was hurtful. Now that the workshop is gone, they want you to go back. That's not a good thing."
"What's wrong with you old women? Didn't we agree when we entered the yard that we would accept being beaten and scolded? As long as Comrade Shen Meng can calm down and come back to the flower workshop, we are willing to do anything. How can you change your mind at the last minute?" "Fuck you, you said all the good and bad things. You were the ones who let people go and you were the ones who let people come back. You are God and everyone has to listen to you. You can't even make your own decisions at home, but you run out to get the big bucks without even considering your own weight."
Zhou Jiaojiao and Lu Jiaxuan came at this time. Most of them wanted Shen Meng to do what they wanted, and the other small group of people were the ones who drove Shen Meng away in the first place. Naturally, they wanted Shen Meng to return to the workshop as soon as possible. If they couldn't invite her back today, they would have to wait until the Shenjiaji workshop opened tomorrow.
Then they will really have no place to stay in Lujia Village in the future.
Watching the people on both sides arguing fiercely, Shen Meng didn't even have the desire to speak. She just watched them quarrel and saw the truth and falsehood in their expressions.
"Shut up, stop arguing. You came here to invite my sister-in-law to go back and manage the workshop, not to force her to go back. You should behave like an inviter if you want to. If making a fuss can solve the problem, then just go ahead and make as much noise as you can."
Zhou Jiaojiao held Lu Jiaxuan's hand, stroked her belly, and walked a few steps towards Shen Meng.
"Sister-in-law, the workshop replaced you with me. Although I didn't mean to do that, the current situation of the workshop is not unrelated to me. I am here to apologize to you. I am sorry. I hope you can forgive me for the fact that we are both daughters-in-law of the Lu family, living in the same village, and caring about the village wholeheartedly. As long as sister-in-law can forgive me, I will be willing to kneel down and kowtow to you!"
Before Zhou Jiaojiao could say anything, tears started falling. Director Guo frowned as he watched her. This woman is the one who is forcing people. Look, she is about to kneel down.
"Then kneel down. I'm not afraid of shortening my life!"
Shen Meng curled her lips and smiled, looking at Zhou Jiaojiao with interest. The latter's face turned pale. She didn't expect that even after she said this, Shen Meng still wouldn't give in.
"Okay, I kneel!"
"Jiaojiao, no, sister-in-law, what are you doing? We are all a family. Jiaojiao is also very sad about the workshop, but it is all for the welfare of the people in the village. Can't some things be let go?"
Shen Meng suspected that his ears were not working well. Didn't she tell the two people the answers yesterday? Why didn't they copy the answers and do the questions again?
"cannot!"
Shen Meng's very affirmative answer made Lu Jiaxuan and Zhou Jiaojiao feel a little embarrassed for a moment.
