Chapter 325
Zhong Ruyi had no idea about the progress of catching the traitor in the Fang family. The most important thing now was to hire more people. If the canned food could not be made, he could only worry no matter how many orders he received.
There are still many aunts and sisters-in-law in the village who are eager to squeeze into the workshop. She also thought about it at first, but all the women in the family were recruited into the workshop. During the day, the men went to work in the fields together. There was no one to cook three meals a day, and the work of washing clothes and cooking was also put aside.
This won't work. Each family should recruit one daughter-in-law, just like Aunt Tian's family. There are three daughters-in-law in her family, but Zhong Ruyi only accepted the eldest one. The other two still have to stay at home to work. No matter how envious you are, it's useless.
Now we can only recruit people from other villages. I have told the people in the workshop a few days ago that if anyone knows someone who is capable and hardworking, they can introduce him here. If the job is successful, I will give him a commission of 200 coins. Of course, this money is not given for free. It is not enough if the person is not introduced by someone. The person also has to work hard and not be lazy, have a keen eye on the work, and not talk nonsense about things in the workshop. If the person introduced is not good, the introducer will also be responsible.
After this was said, many people in the workshop who were originally planning to ask their brother's wife, sister-in-law or aunt from their mother's side to come over and give it a try, started to back off after hearing this.
How could they not know what those people in her mother's family are like?
Forget it, let this good thing fall on someone else. If people from my mother's family ask about it, just say that the workshop is full and doesn't need any more people.
Li Guihua did introduce a few people, one was her sister-in-law from her natal family, one was Xu Ya, who used to have a very good relationship with her and was Li Yang's mother, and the other was Li Yang's aunt and Li Zhidie's younger sister.
Zhong Ruyi had met all three of them. After the three-day probation period, they all stayed. This was a good thing since they were all from Taohua Village and could go home together after work in the evening.
Xu Ya is about the same age as Li Guihua, but perhaps because of overwork, she looks more than ten years older than Li Guihua.
But her words and behavior were very calm when she spoke. She was not like other aunts and sisters-in-law who were always hasty and quick in speaking and doing things. She was more gentle and calm.
Li Guihua told her privately, "Xu Ya used to be like this. After her husband left, the whole family fell on her. She had to do a lot and was a little tired, but fortunately her mother-in-law and son were both good, so she lived a decent life."
Zhong Ruyi nodded, thinking that no wonder Li Yang was so lively, cheerful and polite after being taught so well. I just wonder how he got along after being beaten by the teacher last time?
She was a little curious and planned to go back in the evening to ask Shitou and Xiaohe. It happened that Chen Dongzhi had gone out on a escort mission this morning and she was the only one left at home, so she might as well stay at home for a few days.
So when she got to the dinner table, she asked Shitou, who was concentrating on eating, that her second brother's family had moved out, and now only her eldest brother's family and her father were left in the old house.
Shitou was chewing on the pork ribs with his mouth full of oil. He didn't hear his aunt asking him questions. It was only when Li Guihua reached out and patted him that he reacted and said with a smile, "Master Da Zhou is no longer teaching. Master Xiao Zhou is now teaching two classes of students. Li Yang's mother and uncle went to make trouble with Master Da Zhou several times, and later Master Da Zhou compensated them with some money and let the matter go."
Zhong Ruyi nodded. She thought this was fine. Otherwise, how could she continue teaching when this Master Zhou had already aroused the anger of most of the students in the class?

A day passed and the workshop was busy. Suddenly, someone started shouting loudly.
Li Guihua's eldest sister-in-law, Ms. Sun, and Aunt Tian's eldest daughter-in-law, Ms. Qian, were arguing over a few jars, and the people nearby hurried over to try to stop the fight.
It happened that Li Guihua was not at home. She had gone to the next village to check on the peppers. Now that she had opened a workshop like this, people from several neighboring villages had grown peppers and sent them to ask if they would buy them. This time, many people had grown peppers, so she couldn't make up her mind and had to go and take a look.
There were only three team leaders, Aunt Tian, Mrs. Wu and Aunt Zhao, in the workshop. The three of them quickly pulled the two people who were quarreling apart.
Lu Shengnan stepped forward to help pull the two apart as quickly as possible, but Sun said to Aunt Tian's eldest daughter-in-law, "You can only come in because your mother-in-law is a team leader here? Bah! What's so great about that! My sister-in-law is the supervisor here! The boss of this workshop is our relative! Why are you talking to me?"
Auntie Tian's eldest daughter-in-law's face turned red with anger, "Bullshit! I passed the three-day probation period on my own! If you keep gossiping like this, I'll skin you alive!"
The two of them got excited again and started pulling at each other. The aunts were unable to pull them apart.
"Okay, okay, we all work together, why are you so grumpy?"
I don’t know who made the bigger move, but Lu Shengnan was pushed and fell to the ground.
Her face turned pale and she felt a pain in her stomach.
After the fall, the whole workshop was in chaos for a while, with people helping each other and those trying to stop the fight.
...
Zhong Ruyi had just come down from the mountain with spiritual spring water to water the apple trees. Planting so many fruit trees requires careful care. It is not enough to just ask two people to come and look after them. She has to go up and water them whenever she has time.
After watering the plants, I came back and just as I went down the mountain, I saw a group of people running hurriedly in the distance.
Ji Jiang and Zhong Dabao, who were still on the mountain, saw a woman suddenly appear behind Zhong Ruyi. She behaved furtively and kept looking around, but the distance was too far to see clearly who she was. The two men just thought she was from the village and didn't take it seriously.
The mason's wife hurriedly tried to catch up with the people in front of her. A closer look revealed resentment on her face, but the sudden appearance of a group of people immediately made her panic, and she found a small path to run away.
Zhong Ruyi saw that the group was heading straight towards the workshop. Worried that something might have happened, he quickly followed them.
When I got closer, I found that the people in front included Aunt Tian and Mrs. Wu. They were not at work at this time, so why were they out?
She walked slowly, and arrived after everyone else had gone in. The door of the workshop was not closed, and the workers in the yard saw her coming back and immediately came to greet her, "...something happened to the boss!"
"What happened?" Zhong Ruyi looked around and found that several people were missing. The room where Zhao Dazhuang usually slept was now open, and Ji Xiaoyu was standing at the door looking inside.
An aunt came forward with some uneasiness and told us what had just happened, "...the two of them had a few words and somehow they started fighting. Shengnan went to separate them and ended up falling down and bleeding. We have now asked a village doctor to come and see her."
Zhong Ruyi frowned. Bleeding? Would a common bleeding incident require so many people to call a doctor?
Sure enough, as soon as she entered Zhao Dazhuang's room, she knew that things were not simple. Lu Shengnan almost had a miscarriage because of that push!
Fortunately, she has a good physique, and the doctor prescribed some medicine for her to rest well. She should take more supplements during this period, walk less, and wait until the fetus is stable.
Zhao Eryue leaned on the bed and looked at her mother, whose face was pale but with a happy smile on her lips. She had never been pregnant since she gave birth to a daughter. After so long, she finally had a child again.
Zhong Ruyi sent the doctor away and asked with a stern face who the two people who had just caused trouble were, and asked them to stand up consciously.
Aunt Tian's eldest daughter-in-law and Mrs. Sun, who were squeezed in the crowd, had already turned pale and stood out tremblingly.
Seeing that it was the two of them, Zhong Ruyi took a deep breath, asked the others to continue working, and the two of them followed her out.
