I caught them on the spot, but Zhang Fangtian still refused to admit it.
We started arguing. They had been quarreling with me for a long time and I couldn't drive them away.
My lord, you must not let these troublemakers go.
My Lord, I have finished speaking.
Song Yaoyao looked at Zhang Fangtian and said:
"Next, you speak!"
"yes.
My lord, when Butler Hu found us, we were really grateful to him.
At that time, the terms we negotiated with Butler Hu were indeed 15-25 wen per person per day. Because each of us had different strengths, the wages were also different, and at the end, two meals were included.
However, repair work is physical work, and we don’t have the energy to work if we are not well fed.
At that time, Butler Hu complained that we ate too much, and we also told him about our difficulties.
But housekeeper Hu said that the people invited by other families only ate two steamed buns and a bowl of porridge for a meal, and one of us ate as much as two people in that family.
We also felt that we ate too much, so after discussing it, we told Butler Hu that the meals provided by the Hu Mansion should be based on two steamed buns and a bowl of porridge at other people's homes, and any extra food we ate would be deducted from our wages.
Butler Hu also agreed.
When the Hu residence was renovated and it was time to pay us our wages, the housekeeper Hu said that we ate too much and all our wages had been deducted because of us.
How is this possible?
Generally, one cent could buy a steamed bun, and half a cent could buy a bowl of porridge.
For example, the person who eats the least can eat one more steamed bun at each meal, which is 1 cent, and only 2 cents will be deducted in a day.
For someone like me who eats the most, I can eat two more steamed buns and a bowl of porridge at each meal, which costs me two and a half cents. After two meals a day, the maximum amount deducted is 5 cents.
We worked in the Hu residence for a month and a half. No matter how we calculated it, it was impossible that our wages had been deducted.
We went to see Manager Hu several times, reasoned with him, and asked for our wages.
Butler Hu insisted that all our wages had been spent by us!
Isn't the Hu family trying to trick us into working for nothing?
We were so angry that we planned to climb over the wall into Hu's house in the dead of night and tear down all the places we had renovated.
Unexpectedly, we were discovered by Butler Hu after just a while.
Butler Hu said we were thieves, that we went to the Hu Mansion to steal things and destroyed the Hu Mansion's garden. He asked us to pay compensation, but we had no money, so he said he would send us to see the official.
We denied it and started arguing with them.
Then the adults came.”
Everyone was in an uproar. Before, they only knew that they were arguing but had no idea why. Now they finally figured it out.
Someone said:
"Mr. Hu is indeed a businessman. He is really good at calculating."
"That's right, isn't this obviously asking people to work for nothing?"
"When they chose Zhang Fangtian and the others, they probably saw that they had no background and were honest people, so they just wanted to cheat them."
"All businessmen are dishonest! It's true that there is no business that is not dishonest!"
"The Hu family is so dishonest. I will never buy anything from their store again!"
"Me too!"
"Bah! Shameless profiteer!"
“If you don’t pay, they will tear down the place you renovated, that’s right!
If it were me, I would do the same!"
“That’s right, wanting others to work for nothing is really wishful thinking!
Zhang Fangtian did the right thing!
Support Zhang Fangtian!"
…
Butler Hu hurriedly explained:
"Don't listen to the nonsense of these unruly people. Not only did they eat too much and deduct the wages, but also because the house they renovated was ugly and the quality was not good at all!
That’s why all my wages were deducted.”
Zhang Fangtian: "You are talking nonsense. You just don't want to pay us, so you make up all kinds of excuses."
Shopkeeper Hu retorted:
"It's obviously because you guys didn't repair it well!"
"You farted!"
"You are a country bumpkin, so vulgar!
My Lord, you must punish Zhang Fangtian for his crime. He dared to speak so arrogantly in front of you!"
