Chapter 162: Divorced Wife

After she finished her emphasis, she sent people to buy a lot of baskets, giving each person two. Then she asked someone to come and urgently build a temporary drying bed, with fire burning underneath and drying the fruits on top. Holes had to be left and a drainage space in the middle, the kind that could be pulled out.

While sending people to work here, we have to quickly find the people who are building the house over there, modify the drawings, set up a drying workshop, etc.

Before leaving, she said to the woman, "Madam, please take care of it for me. I will be back soon."

She deliberately did not tell anyone and did not ask the woman's name. After she finished telling everyone, she gave Madam Zhou a wink and left.

When she came back, an hour had passed and the women who were working were still busy with their heads down. She walked around and found that they were doing a good job.

Tang Shiyue was quite satisfied and came out. Madam Zhou followed her out. Tang Shiyue smiled and said, "Aunt, nothing happened after I left, right?"

Madam Zhou was not a very shrewd person, but she really listened to her like Qi Jing said, and could guess what she meant, so she smiled and said, "I asked around, the man is from Dayue Village, his name is Qiao Sangyu."

Qiao Sangyu, this name doesn't sound like a country boy's.

Madam Zhou continued, "After you left, some people said that this was not okay, and that they should be washed before picking, so that the ones with dust that cannot be washed out can be picked out, so as not to affect the color."

"Mrs. Qiao didn't say anything. Later, when someone asked her about it, she smiled and said,

...

...

Madam Zhou imitated her tone and said, "What the lady said makes sense. If our current method doesn't work, we should talk to Master Tang and try the method the lady mentioned."

She paused and said, "I was just thinking that it's not a big deal if it's a little yellowed. We'll have to dye it anyway, so it will be covered up. Isn't that right, ma'am?"

Madam Zhou learned several sentences carefully, and Tang Shiyue nodded slightly.

She is a person who cannot tolerate any injustice. Although she will not show shyness when she really needs to act with a woman, she usually says whatever she thinks and does not bother to consider other people's feelings.

But I have to say that sometimes, we do need someone who is good at dealing with women.

Moreover, she did not forget the look she had given her before.

It is rare for a person who has been standing in the darkness for a long time to be able to keep calm. But for a person who has been in the darkness for a long time and can still keep calm after seeing the dawn, this character can already be called tenacious.

Tang Shiyue asked: "Who is this person?"

Madam Zhou said, "Do you know a lady named Lin Xiu Niang in Dayue Village? She has an embroidery skill passed down from her ancestors, and this Qiao Sangyu is the only daughter of Lady Lin Xiu Niang."

"At that time, Lady Lin opened an embroidery workshop in the town and employed more than ten embroiderers. They were a wealthy family, but her husband died early, and Lady Lin did too much embroidery in her early years. She lost her sight before she was forty, and later became blind. The embroidery workshop was managed by Lady Qiao."

"I heard that she was only thirteen or fourteen at the time, but she was already a good embroidery worker. However, she had a blind mother to support, so she waited until she was almost twenty before marrying a scholar. Who knew that when Lin Xiu Niang died, she asked her to swear not to touch an embroidery needle. Qiao Sangyu swore and never touched one again. She even sold her embroidery workshop."

"Later, I heard that she..." Madam Zhou paused a little embarrassed, "Anyway, something happened and her husband divorced her. He even disowned her daughter, saying she was a bastard. She was driven out of the house with her daughter, and now lives in a shabby house in Dayue Village."

A divorced woman? Something happened. What? Adultery?

Tang Shiyue raised her eyebrows but said nothing. Madam Zhou said, "But I heard from them that Madam Qiao is a good person. As for those things, I'm afraid... Anyway, no one can explain them clearly."

Tang Shiyue hummed.

No wonder she can manage these people. She has managed such a large embroidery workshop and has experience.

Having an idea in mind, she didn't bother with Qiao Sangyu for the time being. She saw that the inspection work was going smoothly, which showed that this method should be feasible.

The next step is cleaning.

Modern cleaning processes must have high-pressure water cannons or something like that, but these are not available now. However, this did not pose a problem for her. She combined the water wheel and the roller and designed a large foot-operated cleaning machine.

Just make a big barrel with holes, build a row of water channels next to it, and then when you shake it up, the water will rush down at once.

And after washing, it should be loosened, that is, the wool that has been washed into pieces should be torn apart, but she hasn't even made a hand-held loosening machine!

Awww! So many things!

Tang Shiyue reflected on herself for the first time, was she really too lazy?

Han Yi had been away for more than two months, and she had long since confirmed that she wanted to start a wool business, but her mind was full of memories of all the hand-knitting patterns from her previous life. She had only ordered sweater needles and crochet hooks, but had completely forgotten the previous processes!

Fortunately, the weaving workshop is still in the material preparation stage, otherwise the people building the house would probably go crazy if they kept making so many changes.

For two consecutive days, Tang Shiyue was busy all the time.

When she remembered to go to the temporary workshop, she found that the 3,000 kilograms of wool had almost been sorted.

Qiao Sangyu is a low-key person, but with just a word from her, he took on the management responsibility without making a fuss!

She took a few glances outside.

How should I put it? Wherever there are women, there are wars. When someone stands up, there will definitely be people who mock and ridicule them. But Qiao Sangyu fought back with ease, and the situation did not get worse, and work was not delayed!

Good! This is the person she is looking for!

Tang Shiyue went in. When Qiao Sangyu saw her, her eyes lit up, and she came forward and said softly, "Master Tang, we have already collected more than 2,800 kilograms of wool. After we finish, there are more than 2,500 kilograms of wool left. Now there are still more than 500 kilograms to be collected."

Loss... The loss is actually 10%, which is a bit too much. Tang Shiyue patted his forehead. This loss must be taken into account when settling accounts in the future. Next time when Han Yi collects the money, he must also pay attention to it.

Then she smiled at Qiao Sangyu and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Madam Qiao. Thanks for taking care of me."

This is equivalent to clarifying the administrator's identity in front of everyone.

Qiao Sangyu's eyes lit up: "It's not hard. It's my blessing that Mr. Tang is willing to employ me."

Tang Shiyue smiled and said a few polite words, then took her to the small hall next door and asked her: "Madam Qiao, what do you want?"

Qiao Sangyu was startled, and then she knelt on the ground: "Please ask Mr. Tang to give us a place to settle down! As long as we can survive, Qiao Sangyu will work like a slave for Mr. Tang for the rest of her life!"

Talking to smart people saves effort.

Tang Shiyue nodded. She had already asked about it. The shabby house that Qiao Sangyu and her mother lived in now didn't even have doors or windows, let alone bedding. They would not be able to survive in the winter.

Tang Shiyue said: "Since you have a request, I also want to ask, why were you divorced in the first place?"

Qiao Sangyu's body trembled, and she gritted her teeth and said, "For money! They framed me for money! I didn't commit adultery! I never did it! I am innocent!"
