Chapter 214 Dealing with Liu happy
Liu happy tried to stop them, but was stopped by the other workers.
They would not allow such a scourge to exist in the workshop; they absolutely could not let it go.
Before long, Liu Xiaoyu returned, carrying a thick stack of Xuan paper.
“Miss, I found these at Liu happy’s place in the workshop.”
Because the workers in the workshop all lived in the village and were not far from home, Xiao Siyue did not build dormitories, but she did provide meals. For convenience, Xiao Siyue had some cabinets made specifically for the workers to store their belongings.
These sheets of Xuan paper were found in Liu happy's cabinet.
"Alright, the item has been found. Liu happy, is there anything else you want to say?" After the Xuan paper is dried, it is stored in a warehouse and managed by a special person. It goes without saying where this Xuan paper came from.
Liu happy had nothing to say. He had taken the Xuan paper secretly, intending to put it in Xiao Ming's cabinet when no one was looking, but he was discovered before he could do so.
The village chief said to Xiao Siyue with some guilt, "Yue'er, I feel guilty about this. I never expected something like this to happen."
“Grandpa Village Chief, what are you saying? This has nothing to do with you,” Xiao Siyue quickly said.
The village chief is a very good person and a qualified village chief. He always thinks about the well-being of the villagers, and she respects him from the bottom of her heart.
“Yes, brother, we all understand what you’re saying. This has nothing to do with you,” Old Master Xiao chimed in.
The village chief forced a smile: "Yue girl, you decide how to handle Liu happy. I won't interfere."
“Alright, Grandpa Village Chief, I’ll handle this matter.” Xiao Siyue said without any hesitation.
"Liu happy, I won't hold it against you since we're from the same village. You can leave the workshop." Although the village chief told her to handle it, they were from the same village after all, and no major losses had been caused, so she couldn't go too far.
As for Xiao Ming, this incident was caused by the workshop selection process, and he will be given some compensation afterward.
He won't interfere in Xiao Ming and Liu happy's affairs; how they handle things in the future is their own business.
Although Liu happy was unwilling, there was nothing he could do; he didn't have the power to go against the Xiao family.
However, Granny Liu could not accept this arrangement. The wages in the workshop were so high. Since Liu happy started working there, they had saved up a considerable sum of money in just a few months. What would they do if it was all gone? Where would they earn money in the future?
"Xiao family girl, you can't kick Liu happy out of the workshop! You're going to kill our whole family!" Granny Liu suddenly rushed out and knelt in front of Xiao Siyue, grabbing Xiao Siyue's clothes and crying with snot and tears streaming down her face.
Xiao Siyue's face darkened. What did she mean by taking their lives? Before the workshop was built, they were doing just fine, weren't they? Moreover, she had given grain seeds to every family in the village over the past few years, and now every household had stored grain. How could they possibly starve to death?
Moreover, since the imperial court knew that the people of Xiaojia Village were growing new grains, and had come to collect them at high prices every year before, she did not believe that the Liu family had not saved up some money.
Upon seeing this, Shi Hai immediately pulled Granny Liu away.
"Old Lady Liu, I'm already letting Liu happy leave the workshop because we're from the same village," Xiao Siyue said coldly.
"Little girl, just let Liu happy continue working in the workshop. He won't dare to do it again." Old Mrs. Liu still refused to give up.
Liu happy didn't stop him, even though he thought it was impossible, he still held a sliver of hope.
"There is no room for negotiation on this matter. If things continue like this, it will be more than just kicking people out."
"Liu happy, take your mother back. What are you doing here?" The village chief couldn't stand it anymore and said to Liu happy.
Without saying a word, Liu happy pulled Granny Liu away from the workshop.
After Liu happy left, Xiao Siyue looked at the bewildered faces of the crowd.
"I hope you will all learn from this and prevent such a thing from happening again. If there is a next time, it will not be let off so easily," Xiao Siyue said sternly.
"Yue girl, don't worry, we will definitely do our best."
Such a good job is hard to find even with a lantern; they're not that stupid.
"Well, you've all worked hard today. Next month, everyone will get an extra half-month's wages." Xiao Siyue looked around at everyone and said with satisfaction. They were mostly family members, so she didn't want to be too harsh. But if anyone was really courting death, betraying her own people, or deliberately causing trouble, she wouldn't be polite.
Everyone was delighted to hear this; half a month's wages were quite a sum. They hadn't expected such an unexpected bonus today. Some people silently thanked Liu Xi, acknowledging that it was all thanks to him.
However, Liu happy didn't know this, otherwise he would probably be furious.
"As for Xiao Ming, you are the biggest victim in this matter. You will receive an extra month's wages and learn from Xiao Yu from now on." Xiao Siyue then said to Xiao Ming. Since Liu Xiaoyu took a liking to Xiao Ming, it means that Xiao Ming is a good person. She will train him well in the future and let him manage things after they leave.
Xiao Ming was very happy to hear this. He thought that he would have to leave after this incident. After all, this was because of him, and many people in the workshop were injured. Even if he was not fired, he probably would not be reused.
Unexpectedly, not only did it not have any impact, but it also gave him an extra month's wages.
"Don't worry, Yue'er, I will study hard under Miss Xiaoyu and won't let you down," Xiao Ming said excitedly.
Xu Xinghua was even happier. This fight hadn't been in vain. Not only did she get a month's wages for free, but she also drove away Liu Xi, who was always going against Xiao Ming.
"Yes, yes, Yue, don't worry, I will keep a close eye on him."
After Xiao Siyue finished speaking, she looked at the injured people among the crowd and said to Liu Xiaoyu.
"Xiaoyu, take the injured person to the doctor and let him take a look." The doctor had already arrived and was treating the more seriously injured, while the less seriously injured were just watching the commotion.
"Yes, Miss, I'll go right away." Liu Xiaoyu called to the injured person and left.
"The rest of you can go back and rest. We'll resume normal work tomorrow." After Xiao Siyue finished speaking, the rest of the people dispersed.
Seeing that everyone had left, Xiao Siyue breathed a sigh of relief; she had finally finished dealing with the situation.
"Grandpa, let's go back too."
"Hey bro, let's go grab a couple of drinks," the youngest son invited the village chief.
"No, you all go back. I'm going to check on the injured people." The village chief declined Grandpa Xiao's invitation.
Grandpa Xiao knew what the village chief was thinking, so he didn't say anything more and went back with the Xiao family.
