Chapter 110: If the water is too clear, there will be no fish, but it can't be too muddy either

. Although Nishi had never been educated, she still took a light share of the work. Such a good job couldn't be lost just because of stealing a little cloth.

When the third day came to hand in the work, except for Hongshi and Nishi, most of the people had some work left, and they also brought back the remaining cloth.

Except for Hongshi, the remaining cloth of others was not much different.

[Hongshi's craftsmanship is good, so it's not surprising that she had a lot of leftovers, but the gap between them and Hongshi is too big, right? ]

[But at least they still had some leftovers, while Nishi had none leftovers, and she even replenished the cloth once in the middle. 】

When these women saw that Hong had so much fabric left, their eyes were a little evasive. They didn't want to keep the fabric for themselves, but the fabric was really good. Their families were all in poverty and they hadn't bought new clothes for many years.

When the children saw the fuss over the fabric and the children's expectant looks, they had evil thoughts.

But they didn't keep too much. Most of them were the cheapest fabrics, which they kept to make small clothes for the children. They thought everyone was like this, but they didn't expect that there was a Hong among them.

Hong's family was in even more difficulty than theirs, so why was she so honest that she didn't keep any?

Everyone looked at Hong with a hint of resentment, but Hong didn't notice it at all. She was just immersed in the joy of being able to take on more work.

Hui Niang redistributed the work, giving Hong the most work, and the others had much less work.

Although everyone was usually friendly, they would have conflicts when it came to interests. Why are you the only one who is so noble when everyone is greedy?

They quietly stood a little further away from Hong, but they didn't say anything.

Ni couldn't stand it: "Why? We all do the same work, why does she do more work than us?"

"Because she does it quickly and well, and doesn't waste the fabric."

Hui Niang took out the fabric that Hong had handed in, and also took out the fabric of others.

"Look for yourselves, how much worse are you than her?"

"I asked you to come here to work, not to do charity. Since I'm hiring people, I'll naturally hire people who can do a good job."

Several people lowered their heads and stopped talking.

Ni was still not convinced and wanted to say something, but when she looked at the material in Hui Niang's hand, she couldn't say anything. The material was there, and it was useless for her to say anything.

If she had known earlier, she would not be so greedy, so that she could get more work.

When everyone was doing the work, they did the most profitable work first, and the work they were assigned was also the cheapest. But even if it was the cheap work, it was real money, which could be spent openly, while the greedy material could only be worn secretly.

Ni was not the only one who regretted it, but it was too late to regret it now.

Hui Niang smiled when she saw this and said, "You just came to work for me, and this is my first time doing business, so there are many things I haven't thought of."

"I encountered a problem today, and I want to tell you about it so that everyone can set some rules."

"You should have been to the cloth shop, so you know that all my fabrics are good. Even the cheapest fabric is not cheap in the cloth shop."

They naturally knew that the fabric was good, otherwise they would not have been so greedy.

"As for me, I don't need these scraps, so I haven't thought about asking you to return the damaged materials. I don't care whether you keep them to sew socks or embroider purses. The only thing is, you can't deliberately damage things, otherwise if you ruin a little here and a little there, I will lose money before I even start the business."

Hui Niang took out a notebook: "I have recorded how much cloth you took away, how many cloth bags you returned, and how much material was left."

"If there is a lot of material left, I will give an extra reward of 20 coins. If there is less material left, I will dismiss you."

Hui Niang tapped the account book: "Forget it this time, I won't show mercy next time."

"Ni, you destroyed the most fabrics. If you destroy the most fabrics next time, you don't have to come here." Ni's

face darkened and she spat as she left the Gan family.

"Little bitch, you are still showing off in front of me."

Yesterday, Hui Niang didn't ask her for the destroyed fabrics. She thought Hui Niang was someone who was easy to bully, but she didn't expect that she was a tough guy.

Hong was so happy to have an extra twenty cents for nothing. She seemed to be several years younger.

When everyone else left, she stayed and said to Hui Niang, "Ni is a petty person. I'm afraid she will hate you after what happened today. Madam Yu, you must be careful."

"Don't look at Ni as a poor family, but she has a son who is not mean. Her son is not easy to mess with. Most people don't dare to mess with him."

Hui Niang was grateful for the reminder and gave her a piece of new plain cloth.

"This material is different from the material I gave you. You can use it to make some new clothes for yourself and your family."

Hong was too embarrassed to accept it and refused it repeatedly.

"Madam Yu is too polite. I just want to remind you that it is not worth so much material."

Hui Niang insisted on stuffing the material into Hong's hand and refused to take it back no matter what.

Hong held the material awkwardly and said, "Ni is powerful. Others are afraid of her, but I am not. Madam, don't look at my family's poverty, but my husband's ancestors were officials. If she troubles you, you can come to me and I will help you teach her a lesson."

After everyone left, Gan Tian thought to herself.

[Mother is too kind and easy to talk to. Although I exchanged this material from the system supermarket and didn't spend any money, I can't let them be greedy. 】

【If it were me, I would report them to the police and have them arrested, or I would have Uncle Li Zhi knock on our door and demand the fabric back no matter what. 】

Coincidentally, the other women in the family also started to complain angrily.

Dong Cuilian didn't understand: "They have taken so much, why did they just let them go? In my opinion, they shouldn't be paid, they should be arrested."

Seeing how angry they were, Hui Niang quickly poured them some water.

"Calm down first. It's not that I don't want to punish them, but we have no choice."

"We're in a hurry to finish the work now, and we're short of manpower. If I chase them away, who will do the work?"

"You can see that there are people coming to urge for the goods every day. We can't delay for a moment. Which one is more important, the little bit of material they are greedy for, or the business worth hundreds of taels?"

Clap, clap, clap, someone in the distance applauded.

"My wife is right. The current business is obviously more important than those pieces of cloth. It won't be too late to settle the accounts after this busy period."

Gongsun Yue also agreed.

"If the water is too clear, there will be no fish. If it is too strict, it may be counterproductive."

"If they want to be greedy, let them be greedy, but they must be under our control. We have the final say on how much they can be greedy."

Dong Cuilian didn't understand what there were fish or no fish, but she understood what Gongsun Yue said about letting people be greedy.

She was anxious: "How can that work? If everyone is greedy, can we still do this business?"
