Su Qingluan looked around and saw that everyone was looking at her. This time she was not as nervous as before - maybe she was used to it.

Thinking of this, Su Qingluan cleared her throat and said, "With me, as long as you work hard, even if you don't do it so well for the time being, as long as you study hard and make progress, you will definitely benefit from it. Don't worry, as long as you work hard, money will always go into your pockets!"

"However, with rewards come punishments. Those who deliberately cause trouble and drag others down, start fights, or act cunningly will have their wages deducted for the day, or even be fired. If the situation is particularly serious, I'll consider reporting it to the police!"

When she spoke the last few words, Su Qingluan's voice became a little heavier, which made everyone feel a chill in their hearts.

Seeing that the people below seemed frightened and dared not even breathe, Su Qingluan smiled again: "Of course, if everyone performs well, you should also know that I have various rewards here. Moreover, the construction period is relatively long this time. In order to encourage everyone to work more enthusiastically, in addition to the financial rewards, there are other special benefits for outstanding performance."

"What is a blessing gift? Do you have to bow to us?" This is completely incomprehensible.

"It's not a gift, it's a benefit!" This is the one with sharp ears but doesn't understand the situation.

"If it's not money, could it be food and clothing?" This is what the slightly smarter people said.

Su Qingluan let them speculate without answering, keeping the topic a secret: "Let's wait and see what this benefit is. There will always be a time to reveal the answer, but it's a good thing anyway."

Seeing everyone discussing the matter, completely gone from their previous silence, Su Qingluan took advantage of the moment and asked Liu Yunniang to take the contract. "Everyone, take a look at this contract. If you have no objections, please put your fingerprint on it to sign it. Once you put your fingerprint, you cannot go back on it. Please consider it carefully."

Only a few villagers could read, and Liu Yunniang had previously listened to Su Qingluan privately read out the clauses in the contract while everyone else was working, and had asked about the parts she didn't understand, so this time she was the one to read and explain. If there were any questions that Liu Yunniang didn't quite understand, Su Qingluan would answer them.

These clauses are nothing more than the division of work responsibilities and the type of compensation to be received, which is basically equivalent to a simple labor contract.

"With this contract, if anyone violates the agreement, I can deduct their wages or report them to the authorities based on this receipt. If you find that I'm not paying you enough, you can also use this to go to the authorities and ask them to seek justice for you!"

How could the people below have ever seen such a scene? Indeed, in this modern era, there are corresponding "labor contracts" and simple "labor arbitration".

However, these are largely small-scale, informal organizations and fragmented departments, lacking professional labor laws. So-called "wages" are often determined by the employer's discretion, and whether they're shortchanged depends on the employer's conscience.

Even if you could report a serious deduction to the police, it would be difficult. Moreover, there is no surveillance these days. If the customer says you were "lazy", without sufficient evidence, then you are "lazy" and there is no way to defend yourself.

Moreover, those places where "contracts" can be signed are all in towns or prosperous cities.

When doing short-term work between villages, you often only get one meal and no wages, let alone any additional benefits.

So Su Qingluan originally thought that requiring workers to have no holidays, very low basic wages, and very demanding terms were all considered to be the work of a black-hearted businessman, but unexpectedly, everyone thought that Su Qingluan was a living Bodhisattva.

Su Qingluan watched Liu Yunniang read out the explanation bit by bit to everyone, and then everyone came forward to press their fingerprints, feeling a little amused and helpless: Should we say that this damn world oppresses the people too harshly, or that everyone is too simple and kind?

Suppressing her rising sense of guilt, Su Qingluan thought to herself that the worst that could happen was that she could just find some titles to reward everyone. As for not taking vacations or something, there really was nothing she could do about it - after all, food like jam has a certain seasonality, and although the Xie family required that it be "shipped before winter comes", they still had to hurry!

After all, no one can predict when nature will turn against you and give you a big fight with ice and snow - there is no weather forecast these days, and the Imperial Astronomical Observatory is not a department that a small person like Su Qingluan can ask.

Tomorrow is the day to "officially start work". Seeing that most of the work to be done today has been done and it is getting late, Su Qingluan waved her hand and asked everyone to go back first, except Liu Yunniang.

Liu Yunniang stayed behind not for tomorrow's matter, but because of the agreement between the two of them about transferring the sales and management of the waste stall to the Liu family - or to be more precise, Liu Sheng.

Because this had been finalized before, Su Qingluan drafted the general contract terms yesterday and asked Liu Yunniang to give it directly to Liu Sheng for review to see if there were any problems.

Su Qingluan was discussing the division of profits between the two families, but when she looked up, she saw Liu Yunniang staring at her without blinking, smiling a little cunningly.

Subconsciously touching her cheek, Su Qingluan was a little confused: "Yunniang, what are you staring at me?" Or are you looking at something else? Su Qingluan looked back: Nothing special?

Liu Yunniang, who was watching her with interest, saw Su Qingluan's somewhat silly reaction and couldn't help laughing. She explained to Su Qingluan's confused expression:

"Just now, when I saw you dealing with that scoundrel Hu Laoliu, you looked so imposing. I was also told that you've become even more imposing in just a few days. Now it seems you haven't changed at all!"

Su Qingluan was at a loss for words: "I was just bluffing. I didn't want to lose momentum. Besides, how could there be any real changes in such a short time..."

After saying this, he lowered his head and continued to explain the terms to Liu Yunniang.

Liu Yunniang secretly observed the girl whom she had simply regarded as a friend before, and thought to herself: It's still different. The feeling of secretly nervous and lacking confidence when she gathered everyone to work together last time, this time Su Qingluan almost completely disappeared, becoming more steady and calm.

Moreover, it was definitely not her illusion. Liu Yunniang knew that everyone's respect and obedience for Su Qingluan had also increased a lot.

Su Qingluan didn't notice Liu Yunniang's gaze across from her at all and continued to explain one thing at a time.

Liu Yunniang quickly snatched the contract and put it in her sleeve: "Alright, alright, let my father take a look at these contracts. I know you won't cheat our family."

"Who said that? I might trick you one day!"

"How do you trick me? Aren't you a little naive for trying to trick me with your small body?"

"How dare you laugh at me?"

The two girls were playing and laughing, and the small farmyard was filled with laughter.
