Chapter 628 Unwilling to Believe
Ye Beixiu’s parade and entertainment in Jinshui Town was so high-profile that almost everyone in the town knew that Ye Beixiu had passed the imperial examination.
Qin Chunhua, an embroiderer who used to work at Xiucai Embroidery Workshop and lived not far from her home, had been holding a grudge against Fang Lan for a long time because of her wages.
Qin Chunhua now works at Shengxia Embroidery Workshop. She has enough food and clothing, one meal a day, and her wages are paid on time.
That’s not all. As long as you perform well every month, you will receive a lot of bonuses.
Her life was so comfortable now. Whenever she passed by Liu Hong and Fang Lan's house, she couldn't help but spit at them to vent her hatred for not paying her wages.
Because Ye Beixiu passed the imperial examination, all the people in Shengxia Embroidery Workshop were invited to the Manfu Restaurant for a banquet today.
Qin Chunhua not only ate her fill, but also drank two cups of wine out of joy. She also ate the fried chicken that she had to queue up for a long time. When she went out, someone pulled her and gave her a bag of candy and melon seeds.
On the way back from Manfu Restaurant, the good sisters went shopping together.
When the shop boy learned that they were working at Shengxia Embroidery Workshop, he immediately envied them.
Qin Chunhua was so proud that when she passed by Fang Lan's house, she deliberately pulled the neighbors aside to talk.
"Come, eat melon seeds!"
"Here, have some candy!"
"Chunhua, you guys are really lucky today."
Qin Chunhua glared and threw the melon seed shells away, "Can you speak? What do you mean by "benefited by good fortune"? Our boss won the imperial examination, what a great joyous event!
Let me tell you, our boss is not as stingy as some people!"
"The owner of Shengxia Embroidery Workshop is very generous. Chunhua, you guys went to the banquet and it really didn't cost you a penny!"
"It didn't cost anything. Not only did it not cost anything, but I tell you, that feast was the best feast in Manfu Restaurant."
"A relative of mine also works at your Shengxia Embroidery Workshop. I heard from her that Ximian is the best.
It seems the shopkeeper even gave fried chicken to every table.”
When everyone hears the word fried chicken, their mouths start to water.
"Chunhua, is it true? Did the shopkeeper really give you fried chicken?"
“I gave it to you!”
"Oh my goodness, I've been lining up for days to buy fried chicken, and you guys can actually get it so easily. Chunhua, are you still hiring in your embroidery workshop? I'm going to send my little girl to your workshop no matter what."
Qin Chunhua threw the melon seed shells in her hand and said, "Do you really want to go?"
"Chunhua, I want to send my eldest daughter there too?"
"Yes, my second daughter is old enough, and I want to send her there too."
Qin Chunhua stood in the crowd and said, "Let me talk for a while first, then you guys can talk.
I will ask the manager tomorrow about your letting your children go to our embroidery workshop."
"Chunhua, you are so kind!"
"Chunhua, I'm still a little worried. Do you really pay the wages on time at your embroidery workshop?"
When this person said this, he even glanced towards Liu Hong's house.
Qin Chunhua's face immediately fell, "What you said, you think our boss is like some shameless people.
Even if they have money, they won’t give it to us workers.
Let me tell you, these words were said by our manager. She said they were the original words of our boss.
That being said, these embroiderers are all serious craftsmen, and they make a living by this skill.
The wages must be paid to everyone on time, after all, everyone relies on wages to make a living."
"Chunhua, your boss is still the best. You must ask us about the matter you just mentioned.
If this thing comes to pass, we will all treat you to a feast."
Qin Chunhua quickly refused, "No, we're all from the same hometown, it's not a big deal. Besides, letting the children learn a skill that will allow them to make a living in the future is really better than anything else."
"Chunhua, why do we feel that the words you say now are different from before?"
"Really?"
"Why do I feel that Chunhua is more beautiful than before?"
Qin Chunhua touched her face with her hand and said, "To tell you the truth, our embroidery workshop is really good.
You haven't been there, so you don't know what's good about it, but it's good anyway.
Also, there are no more annoying things. Just think about it, you can get the previous month’s salary at the beginning of each month.
I don’t have to worry about when my salary will be paid every day like before.
You don't know how uncomfortable it is to wait for your paycheck every day!"
"Chunhua, I understand you. The main reason is that that thing is such a jerk."
"That's right, what you said about their family is retribution!"
"I think so. Chunhua, to be honest, for a while, I felt really sorry for you.
I was thinking, there's no other land in our town, why did you go to work in his shop?"
These few words touched Qin Chunhua's sore spot, and she angrily threw all the melon seed shells in her hand to the doorstep of Liu Hong's house.
“When I talk about this, my chest hurts with anger!
If it weren't for Fang Lan, who used sweet words to trick us into leaving, we wouldn't be in such a difficult situation."
"Fang Lan also approached me, but I rejected her outright.
Chunhua, let me tell you, when you were making a fuss about asking for your wages, Liu Hong was still going to the restaurant to drink every day!
They have money but they won’t pay you.”
"It's truly despicable, but now they've gotten the retribution they deserve."
Fang Lan couldn't sit still in the house any longer, so she ran out. Several people pushed and shoved her, and she soon stopped talking.
Qin Chunhua didn't give Fang Lan a good look at all, "Mrs. Liu is really in a good mood!"
Fang Lan hung her face and ignored Qin Chunhua.
She looked at the melon seed shells at the door without saying a word, but just frowned, "Just now I heard you say, who in our town passed the imperial examination?"
Qin Chunhua raised her head proudly, "You've asked the right person. Our boss, Ye Beixiu, is now a successful candidate in the imperial examination."
Fang Lan looked at Qin Chunhua in disbelief, then glanced at everyone else and asked with trembling hands, "Is she right? Did Ye Beixiu really pass the imperial examination?"
"Mrs. Liu, you may have lost your mind from taking care of the patient at home. Let me tell you, our Jinshui Town is very lively today.
The owner of the Chunhua shop, wearing a big red flower and riding a big red horse, paraded through the streets of our Jinshui Town."
Fang Lan still didn't believe it, "Then how can you be sure that the person who passed the imperial examination is Ye Beixiu?"
Several people lowered their heads and whispered, "I think she's really confused."
"She's not confused at all. She just doesn't want to believe that others are better than her."
Qin Chunhua winked at a few people and said, "Watch me later."
"Mrs. Liu, if you don't believe us, you can go out and ask around."
Fang Lan was about to move when Liu Hong's voice rang out from the room, "Where are all the dead people? I'm thirsty and want some water."
