Chapter 257: Fighting



[Ding! Resolve the Chenzhou flash floods, help the Lingzhou refugees, congratulations to the owner for receiving 500 bottles of Yunnan Baiyao!]

[The system has detected a dispute at the refugee resettlement site. The owner can choose to complete this task to receive corresponding rewards!]

At this time, many people in Youzhou have agreed to help them rebuild their homes. I wonder what these refugees are arguing about!

While he was thinking, Jing Zhiwan and her maid Xiaotao hurried over. Before the carriage was stable, Xiaotao jumped out, her voice full of panic, "Master, Miss Su, there's an incident at the resettlement site. Several refugees are fighting and now they're all in a mess."

Jing Fangchun's brows furrowed. "Do you know why?"

"They say...they say..."

Xiao Tao hesitated, and Jing Fangchun scolded her: "Hurry up and tell me!"

"It was because a few refugees initially contacted some merchants to sell their products privately, lowering the prices of handmade products. This made some embroiderers and craftsmen dissatisfied, and a fight broke out."

After hearing this, Jing Fangchun frowned even more tightly. He looked at Su Huaiyue for help, "This was originally a good thing, but why has it become like this? Miss Su, what do you think we should do?"

"Let's go over and see what's going on."

Su Huaiyue sighed, it was really one crisis after another.

When we arrived at the resettlement site, everyone stopped fighting but kept cursing.

Su Huaiyue saw two people sitting on the sand pile, rolling eggs on the bruises on their faces, and she knew that these two people were the ones Xiaotao mentioned who contacted merchants privately to lower prices.

She walked over, looked at the indignant crowd across from them, and said, "Why can't we discuss it peacefully? Why bother causing such unpleasantness?"

One of the most diligent embroiderers stood up with her hands on her hips. "Miss Su, you have no idea how wicked these two are! They've lowered the price to make money. What are we supposed to do? Their wages aren't even enough to cover the cost of the raw materials. They're making money like this, and they're not afraid of losing sleep at night!"

In Su Huaiyue's impression, the lady Wang in front of her was usually gentle and kind to others. The fact that they could force her into this state showed that the two men's behavior was indeed extremely bad.

After listening to what Madam Wang said, Su Huaiyue already knew the whole story.

She turned, her gaze calm yet sharp, towards the two refugees sitting awkwardly on the sand. She asked in a gentle voice, "Tell me, why are you both secretly selling handmade products at such a low price?"

The tall, thin refugee lowered his head even lower, his voice filled with helplessness and embarrassment. "Miss Su, our family is so poor that we can't even afford to eat. Our child is seriously ill and we have no money to buy medicine. We are really desperate, so we thought of selling more to make more money to save our child, so..."

Another refugee was nodding beside him, his face full of guilt and helplessness, his expression seemed to be telling of the difficulties of life.

Su Huaiyue's heart suddenly tightened. She could fully understand the hardship and bitterness of these refugees' lives.

But this behavior actually harms the vital interests of other refugees.

She pondered for a moment, then raised her voice and spoke clearly, "Everyone, please be quiet for a moment! I know that life is not easy for everyone, but we cannot harm the interests of others because of our own difficulties. We are a whole now, and only by uniting as one can we overcome these difficulties together."

After everyone heard Su Huaiyue's words, the noise gradually subsided.

Su Huaiyue continued, "How about this, let's work together to find a way that will allow everyone to have an income while ensuring fairness and justice."

She looked back at the two refugees who had secretly bargained for the price, her tone gentle yet serious. "What you two did was indeed wrong, but considering it was your first offense and you were forced into it by life, I won't pursue it this time. But this won't happen again, and it must never happen again."

The two refugees nodded hurriedly as if they had been pardoned, their eyes full of gratitude towards Su Huaiyue.

Su Huaiyue turned to the other refugees and gently advised, "Everyone, calm down. Let's work together to find a way to sell our handmade products for a good price."

At this time, a young craftsman stood up and said confidently, "Miss Su, I've been thinking that we can unify the price and then negotiate with the merchants together. That way, we will have a say and can protect our own interests."

After hearing this, Su Huaiyue looked around at everyone and asked, "What do you think of this method?"

This method was something she had thought of on the way here, but it was more convincing when it came from that person's mouth than from her.

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Then, Su Huaiyue led them to sit together, took out pens, ink, paper and inkstone, and made a detailed division of the prices of all categories. He made a detailed comparison based on the quality, size, price of raw materials and labor hours consumed, and formed different levels of prices.

After some calculation, Su Huaiyue distributed the divided contents to everyone. "Everyone, please take a look at what I wrote to see if there is anything wrong with it. If not, then based on this price, are you willing to accept it?"

The most common price is the most common price on the market.

Depending on the quality and improvement of raw materials, there will naturally be different price levels, and depending on the different craftsmanship, there will naturally be different grades.

Everyone knows their craftsmanship after taking a look, and naturally knows their price range.

After circulating it around, Lady Wang stepped forward and said, "We have no objection to Miss Su's division. But what if someone doesn't abide by this agreement? We originally came here from Lingzhou, and we're only here today thanks to the help of Miss Su and the people of Youzhou. It hasn't been easy for anyone."

"Don't worry about that. I thought of drawing up an agreement for everyone. You learned the craft here, so of course you have to abide by the rules here."

As he spoke, Su Huaiyue picked up a pen and began to write on the paper in different categories.

The agreement clearly stipulates that all handicrafts made by refugees must be sold at a uniform price, and no one is allowed to lower or raise prices privately.

When signing the agreement, Su Huaiyue looked solemn and said earnestly, "This agreement is our common agreement and the guarantee for our better future. I hope everyone will strictly abide by it. As long as we all think and work together, the days ahead will definitely get better and better."

The refugees nodded solemnly, their eyes showing more admiration and trust for Su Huaiyue.

[Ding! Congratulations to the owner for completing the task, and you will be rewarded with 1000 facial masks!]

After resolving the conflict between the refugees, Su Huaiyue and Wei Che could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

When they returned to the Wei family, the Wei family members had been waiting at the door for a long time, full of concern.
