The words of those men seem both true and false; if you take them seriously, you'll be the fool.
Although the women's behavior made the men lose face.
But they gained something in return: the large eggs they kept could be kept for their family to eat, or they could be sold, perhaps for four cents each.
They naturally know in their hearts what they have gained and lost.
Gu Yunyang didn't say much; he had done something worthwhile, and he wanted people to know.
Even if you've been wronged, you should still let people know.
Gu Hanping said, "That's enough for today. I'll call a meeting when I get back. If this happens again, you'll have to deal with it."
Upon hearing this, the women immediately smiled.
What's a few insults?
As long as you get the benefits, none of this matters.
But how could Gu Hanping not know this?
Gu Hanping said, "Next time, the order in which you receive the mushroom spawn bags will be pushed back, so you'll be at the very end."
What?
That's a bit of a loss.
Based on the absolute timeframe, they would have to come back to buy new mushroom spawn packs every month and a half.
Gu Hanping's words made them realize that this was not a one-time thing, but a long-term commitment.
Today's actions may seem to have yielded benefits, but in reality, the losses are greater.
A month and a half later, it's unlikely that everyone in the entire Red Flag Brigade will get their turn.
So strictly speaking, they've finished growing the mushrooms once, and they still need to wait a while for the rest of the growing season to begin.
Gu Hanping pushed their order back, which meant pushing back their opportunities to make money.
"Look what a mess you've made, you old hag."
This time, the man didn't just hurl insults; he also slapped her.
Then he turned back and said with a fawning smile, "Secretary Gu, Captain, you see, we really didn't know about this. It was all this woman's decision on her own; our family didn't know anything about it. If we postpone it, won't we be in a long gap in between? Please, both of you, have mercy and don't hold a grudge against a woman."
Good for you, that saved your family money. That's great.
They might scold you on the surface, but there's no real punishment.
The consequences are obvious, and everyone knows which choice to make.
Gu Hanping gave this punishment because he took these factors into consideration.
Don't think you can hide your little schemes from others.
As soon as the punishment was announced, upon hearing about the consequences, these men couldn't sit still any longer.
Even the woman who had been beaten was terrified and said, "Captain, Secretary Gu, please don't do this. We were just out of our minds and thought too much. Wait here, I'll go back and get some eggs and replace them with bigger ones."
As they spoke, the women ran away.
Gu Yunyang quickly called out, "Come back."
While it's important to express your stance, there's no need to be so petty.
So Gu Yunyang said something to stop them, saying, "Let's leave it at that for today. Although I suffered a little loss, I can't hold it against the aunties. But if we don't hold it against them at all, I'm afraid everyone will follow suit. I came to the Red Flag Brigade and I've asked myself if I've done anything wrong. I can face my conscience."
"We did right, we did right!" a group of people quickly said loudly.
I was also annoyed, wondering why I was so fixated on such a small amount of profit.
See, trying to gain a small advantage can lead to a big loss.
Gu Yunyang said, "Since I came to the Red Flag Brigade, I have done a few good deeds."
