Chapter 153: One Day, One End
Ye Daquan was pleasantly surprised to learn that he could continue delivering goods tomorrow. He had work to do again.
Then he started to worry again.
It seems that this food package is really not that good! But now the workshop has stockpiled a lot of goods and will suffer losses.
Although I just earned one thousand taels from selling ginseng, I can't afford to spend it like this.
"If... the goods in the workshop still can't be sold, we will continue to deliver the goods and use the things in the warehouse ourselves." Ye Daquan said.
Ye Caiping laughed: "Don't worry, big brother."
She still has great confidence in the workshop.
The delivery can only be made to nearby areas, not Yue'an County, so you can only make small money, not big money.
So you must get material packages and workshops.
As soon as the ox cart arrived at the entrance of the village, Ye Caiping saw Ye Jiner standing there.
Ye Caiping raised her eyebrows, and waited until the ox cart stopped before she said, "Is someone causing trouble again?"
"How did mother know?" Ye Jin'er asked puzzled.
"Someone saw Ye Xiniu and Liu Decai chatting under the banyan tree last night. If Liu Decai doesn't cause trouble, he would be unworthy of his reputation as a troublemaker." Ye Caiping smiled.
"Uncle Xiniu and Uncle Daqiang came to the workshop this morning and shouted that they wanted to find you. When they couldn't find you, they just sat there and didn't work."
In the workshop——
Ye Xiniu, Chen Daqiang and two other men sat in front of the doors of two warehouses.
Ye Huaner frowned: "Uncle Xiniu, Uncle Qiang, no matter what you have to do, finish your morning work first."
Ye Xiniu said angrily, "Why are you making so many goods? The warehouse is full! You are indeed a woman with long hair and short knowledge. You don't know anything and just do things blindly. By the way, where is your mother? The workshop has only been open for a short time and she is nowhere to be seen every day."
As he spoke, Ye Xiniu became more and more convinced of Liu Decai's words.
Ye Huaner's face sank slightly.
As he was speaking, he saw Ye Caiping coming back in a ox cart.
"What's wrong?" Ye Caiping looked at Ye Xiniu and the others sitting there, her eyes a little cold, but she still had a smile on her face: "Brother Xiniu, I told you yesterday that my people and house are here, and I can't do without your wages."
Ye Xiniu said, "How can you afford to open a workshop with just the two or three hundred taels you have? You bought those herbs with borrowed money, right?"
After these words were spoken, the employees gathered here looked at each other in bewilderment. Did Caiping borrow money to buy the medicinal herbs?
Ye Caiping laughed: "How the workshop operates is not your concern. You just need to do your job well and don't worry about the rest."
This remark completely irritated Ye Xiniu, Chen Daqiang and others.
"It's none of our business? If you can't sell the goods, you can't pay off your debts. When the creditors come to your house, you will have to mortgage them your house. Aren't we working for you for nothing?"
Ye Caiping raised her eyebrows: "So what do you want?"
Ye Xiniu said, "We don't want anything, but... we should be paid! We borrowed money to run the workshop, so it's understandable that we're worried. So I hope to be paid on a daily basis."
"Yes, one a day!" Chen Daqiang and two or three other big men echoed.
Ye Xiniu thought about it last night and decided to get some brothers together to put pressure on Ye Caiping today.
They were reluctant to work for 30 cents a day. If they could change it to daily pay, they would earn one more day for every day they worked.
Ye Xiniu said to the people around him, "Don't you agree? Pay once a day, and everyone will feel more at ease."
The employees felt warmed in their hearts, yes, getting paid once a day, how great!
They were already worried about not getting paid, and now being challenged by Ye Xiniu, they were even more frightened.
But they are reluctant to give up this job.
Now Ye Xiniu and Chen Daqiang proposed to pay the bill on a daily basis, and everyone is very happy about it.
Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but look at Ye Caiping expectantly.
Ye Daquan and Jin'er Huan'er were very angry.
Tie Niu's wife frowned and said, "When we entered the workshop, we agreed to pay once a month. Now you suddenly change your mind. Isn't that too untrustworthy?"
Ye Zhuzi, Zhao Shuisheng, Ye Siquan and others all nodded in agreement: "What we agreed on before should be done, and it shouldn't change."
Ye Xiniu was almost angry: "You are stupid! She pays us every day, not us. What's wrong with getting ready-made wages every day?"
Chen Daqiang and his companions also felt that Tie Niu's wife and Ye Zhuzi were out of their minds.
They should be on the same front!
Ye Caiping looked at Tie Niu's wife and others with admiration. She was not wrong about them. They were all reliable.
Ye Caiping said: "Your request is quite reasonable, one payment per day. Is there anyone else who thinks the same as them?"
As she spoke, Ye Caiping looked around at the employees around her.
The people she swept past had different expressions.
There were those who felt, like Tie Niu's wife, that the change was not a good thing, and there were also many who were afraid that the workshop would not be able to pay their workers, and so they stood on Ye Xiniu's side.
But he didn't dare to express his opinion at this moment.
Seeing that no one was talking, Ye Caiping nodded and said, "One day's wages, fine. I'll pay you all your wages for these days now. You can go back now. The workshop doesn't want people who cause trouble."
Ye Xiniu and Chen Daqiang's faces changed.
Ye Xiniu said angrily: "Why don't you want us? How did we cause trouble? It is a fact that the workshop can't pay wages. If you want us to work, you have to give us some guarantees, right? Anyway, wages must be paid, so what if we pay them once a day?"
Ye Caiping sneered: "This is the workshop's rule! If we agree to pay you monthly, then we will pay you monthly. I won't employ people who don't follow the rules, and I won't be coerced by anyone!"
If you ask for daily pay today, you can ask for a salary increase tomorrow. Once this trend starts, there will be no end to it.
Ye Xiniu and his companions turned pale and blue in the face. They thought that Ye Caiping was just a woman, and as long as they were tough enough, they could scare her.
Unexpectedly, she fired them?
Chen Daqiang and the other three already felt a little regretful.
Ye Xiniu became more and more rebellious as he got angrier: "Okay, okay, okay, I don't mind working for you! Although it's hard to carry heavy bags outside, at least I can get paid."
"Thirty cents a day, for a total of ten days' work, that's three hundred cents. Huan'er, come and get the money." Ye Caiping said.
Ye Huaner ran out quickly, and soon came back with a few hundred dollars and gave them to Ye Xiniu and the other four.
Chen Daqiang and others held the money with complicated expressions.
Ye Xiniu tossed the money in his hand and said, "Humph, at least I got the wages I deserved, but you won't get a single penny!"
Ye Xiniu looked around at Tie Niu's wife and others.
Although Chen Daqiang and his companions felt a little regretful, at this point, they could only comfort themselves!
"Of course. No matter how high the wages are, if they can't be paid, it will be useless."
As he was speaking, a voice suddenly rang out from outside:
"Is this the Hu La Tang workshop? Is Madam Ye here? We are here to buy goods!"
