Chapter 242 If you make a mistake, you must stand at attention and be beaten
Just when the atmosphere was at a stalemate, Liu Sanjin walked in with a cane. She walked up to Zhou Jiaojiao and stomped her feet, then looked at Shen Meng aggrievedly.

"Eldest son's wife, I know that the fourth son's wife helped to manage the workshop for two days, and you are angry, but now that everyone has come to invite you, you should think of this favor and calm down. If you still feel unhappy about the fourth son and his wife, I will apologize to you and kowtow to you. I will kneel down right now, right now."

As she spoke, she threw away her crutches, bent her knees and was about to kneel on the ground. Everyone was shocked. How could this mother-in-law kneel down to her daughter-in-law? If she knelt down, would Shen Meng be able to go out in the future?
Liu Sanjin naturally knew that she couldn't kneel. Her butt was tilted to one side, and just when she was about to kneel down on the ground, Lu Zhenping picked her up, put the stool he was carrying on the ground, and pushed her to sit on the ground.

"This is a matter of the workshop. It's about Zhou Jiaojiao and Shen Meng. It has nothing to do with us. I advise you not to do this. If Shen Meng is going to fall for it, she would have agreed yesterday when the fourth brother and his wife said they would kneel down and let this matter go. It's useless to use moral kidnapping and rumors to force her to take over this mess. It will only make my wife feel colder. If she made a mistake, she should just stand at attention and get beaten. Why do you have to do so many tricks?"

Lu Zhenping had been waiting since he saw Liu Sanjin coming. After all these years, he knew the old lady very well. Whenever she came, she would always do the same old things, and she did not disappoint him.

Liu Sanjin's face turned pale. His words ripped off the faces of some people. Many people stood aside with ugly expressions, not daring to say a word.

Lu Debang said a little embarrassedly, "Gang, what Zhenping said just now is right. If you make a mistake, you must stand at attention and be beaten. Xiaomeng, let me express my position first. I apologize to you. I'm sorry that I didn't immediately stand up to protect you when we had a quarrel that day. It was my fault as the village chief. I have reflected on it during this period of time. From now on, you will have full authority over the workshop. I will not be in charge of anything. But as long as the workshop can still use me, you can ask me at any time and I will do whatever you ask me to do."

"The village chief is right. That's what I mean. From now on, Shen Meng, you will be in charge of the workshop's affairs. I won't interfere. If you need my help, feel free to ask me anytime."

"It's my turn now. I was the one who selected the people to join the workshop, so I have to take the main responsibility. Xiao Meng, I'm sorry, it's my aunt who didn't set a good example. So, you can do whatever you want in the workshop in the future. I won't be in charge of anything. Before you leave the workshop, those who led the trouble must also leave, otherwise this workshop will not be able to continue."

Aunt Hua and the others had been standing at the back. They thought that since there were so many people around, Shen Meng would definitely come back to the workshop. Then she would apologize honestly and could still do the work in the workshop.

Now, after listening to what Guo Xiuqin said, his face turned pale instantly. If he couldn't do this, how would he live at home in the future!

"No, Director Guo, this is not okay. Can't we apologize? It's all our fault, it's all our fault. We can accept the punishment, but you can't let us lose our work in the workshop!"

"Shen Meng, Shen Meng, we were wrong. We shouldn't have been so foul-mouthed and said those things. I apologize to you. You can hit me or scold me if you want. Please, can you give us a chance, just once? We will work hard in the future and never talk nonsense again, okay? If we can't go back to the workshop, we will never have a good day in the future, Shen Meng." "Pa pa pa"

"If you don't do it, I'll do it myself. Shen Meng, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have been mean and said those things. I shouldn't have listened to Zhou Jiaojiao in the beginning, thinking that I could get a few more cents in salary by letting her take the position. I didn't expect that after so many days, I got nothing. Please, Shen Meng, my child is still young. I just wanted to make more money in the beginning. I was stupid and was used as a gun. From now on, I will listen to you and do whatever you tell me to do. Really, please."

One of the sisters-in-law hit herself directly in the face, and the other two aunts also hit themselves twice. They didn't care about face or bowing their heads anymore. They just wanted Shen Meng to take over the workshop so that they could get in. Compared with making money, those things were nothing.

Aunt Hua was stunned for a long while. When she looked up and saw Shen Meng's half-smile, her heart trembled and she couldn't hit him with the hand she had just raised.

Zhou Jiaojiao was shaking and almost unable to stand when listening to the slaps from her sisters-in-law. The slaps seemed to hit her in the face. These were the ones who had argued for her to be the manager. Now Shen Meng let them slap her in the face in front of her. Wasn't that embarrassing for her?

"Okay, stop fighting, as if I'm bullying you on purpose. I didn't take your words to heart. When I set up this workshop, I just wanted to make everyone's life better. My husband Zhenping is a soldier, working hard at the border to ensure that the people can live and work in peace. As his wife, I also want to do something for everyone after I get a formal job. Even if it's just a small contribution, we both think it's worth it."

"Xiao Meng, what do you mean?"

"Village chief, please wait a moment. There are some things I have been holding back. I also want to say something while everyone is here. During the Chinese New Year, I gave my children new clothes. When Mingkai came back, he said, 'Mom, many children in the village envy them. They don't have new clothes. Some children even wear shoes with their toes exposed. It's winter and it's so cold. I shivered just thinking about it. After I had the idea of ​​setting up a workshop, I went to find Director Guo. She said, 'Okay, Xiaomeng, you go and do it. I will definitely find you a new one.'" Good people, many women in the village are good at sewing, and some earn more or less, so their families can live better. She also mentioned a few people who either had no men to beat them or were bullied by their mothers-in-law when they were at home. She said she wanted them to stand on their own feet. I think she is right. I did not interfere in the matter of finding workers. I let her find them all. You all know all this, but it turned out to be so ugly later. I was really exhausted and didn't want to care about it at all. But my heart for the members to live a good life has not changed, so I set up a non-staple food workshop in Shenjiaji."

Who doesn't want their children to have enough food and warm clothes? Shen Meng had a good life before, so they all envied her. Seeing their children dressed beautifully, they all didn't want their children to live such a life. It's just that other people's men are hardworking and can bring a good future to the whole family, while their own men can only show off their power to women and can't even earn full work points.

Now, when they listened to Shen Meng's explanation of the original intention of setting up the workshop, they felt that the troublemakers were even more hateful.
