Chapter 210
210
Ever since Cheng Zhao learned how to use a mobile phone, he often stayed up late to watch it. At first, he watched documentaries that Cheng Yeran downloaded for him, and later he started watching anime. Especially after watching Conan, he joined the detectives in solving cases. He was quite smart and actually helped solve a big case.
Cheng Yeran noticed something was wrong. He attended classes during the day and slept at night. How could he use the time to read these things? He and Shen Yuntang secretly went to check on Cheng Zhao in the middle of the night and found him hiding in bed, playing with his cell phone.
Cheng Yeran snatched the phone away, "Didn't I tell you that it would hurt your eyes? I always thought you were a very self-controlled and self-disciplined child. I'm very disappointed in you now."
Shen Yuntang did not expect Cheng Zhao to be like this. He had always been a very obedient child and was much more mature than other children of the same age. But now it seems that children still need their parents' discipline in many aspects.
Shen Yuntang reached out to take the phone, turned it off and put it away. "I'm punishing you by not letting you play with your phone anymore. You can only use your phone in front of us two."
Cheng Zhao was very dissatisfied with this and her lips were pouted, but she did not ask for the phone back. She wanted to admit her mistake awkwardly but could not say the words.
He inherited Shen Yuntang's arrogance, and kept many things in his heart. He knew exactly what to say and when, but he just felt awkward and couldn't say it out loud.
Cheng Yeran saw that he was unhappy and rubbed his head. "We are doing this for your own good. After two years, when you are more sensible and behave better, I will give you the phone and let you decide when to play and when not to play."
Cheng Zhao lowered his head and said in a muffled voice, "I know."
"Okay, go to bed." Shen Yuntang let him lie down and covered him with a quilt.
After the two of them left, Cheng Yeran sighed, "My parents said similar things when I was a child. At that time, I always felt that they were restricting my freedom and controlling my life under the banner of doing good for me. Now that I have my own child, they actually say the things that I didn't want to hear at the time..."
Cheng Yeran hugged Shen Yuntang's arm, "This can't be retribution, I'm so scared, I need Brother Tangtang to coax me to sleep when I go back."
Shen Yuntang patted him on the head and said, "You are so much older than me, how can you call me brother?"
"Don't even mention calling me brother, I can even call you daddy," Cheng Yeran said. His father's serious face appeared in his mind, and he quickly shook his head. "No, no, I can't call him that. I don't know why so many people can regard the name of daddy as a hobby. I can't stand it when they call him that in bed."
Shen Yuntang: "...Don't think about those messy things every day."
"I want to think about it, I want to think about it now," Cheng Yeran said as he picked up Shen Yuntang, "Not only do I want to think about it, I also want to do it now, Brother Tangtang, you can't run away tonight."
Shen Yuntang was suddenly picked up by him, and was picked up in the garden. Afraid of being seen by the servants on duty at night, she lay in Cheng Yeran's arms and dared not move.
The more he did this, the bolder Cheng Yeran became. Before he even returned to the room, his hands dishonestly reached into his clothes and pinched his waist.
Hearing Shen Yuntang's shy cry, he thought it was cute and deliberately took a detour. Of course, he took a detour around places where people might pass by, so that others would not see Shen Yuntang's cute appearance.
Feeling Shen Yuntang trembling in his arms and glaring at him, he hurried back to the room. Naturally, they made love again, which made Shen Yuntang's eyes red and she couldn't get out of bed the next day.
…
After Shen Yuntang's technical school opened, it enrolled many students. Those girls knew that this opportunity to study was rare, and the faster they learned, the less tuition they would have to pay, so they studied harder and soon learned how to use sewing machines.
In almost a month, the garment factory recruited the first batch of sewing workers.
Shen Yuntang told them that it was not enough to just learn how to sew on a sewing machine. However, the garment factory was short of staff, so they were allowed to learn how to use a sewing machine before entering the factory. They would then have to work and learn at the same time.
When they heard Shen Yuntang say this, they couldn't help but feel relieved, but also a little scared, because they didn't know whether the future tasks would be difficult. After all, work was different from studying in school. If they made a mistake, would Shen Yuntang drive them away?
Another thing is that they have to live in the factory dormitory. The factory provides food and accommodation. They have two days off every five days, which Shen Yuntang calls a week. This is also the new knowledge they learned after coming to the technical school. A week has seven days, Monday to Friday are working days, and Saturday and Sunday are rest days.
Although they are treated well and receive wages, they have never moved out and have always lived at home. Will this damage their reputation?
There are only boys and girls here, and the dormitories for boys and girls are separate, but they are still very worried.
However, before the children enrolled, their parents had already been informed of this and had signed a contract that if they did not work in a factory after graduation, they would have to pay ten times the tuition.
Tuition fees can be paid on credit and then deducted from salary after you start working. If you don’t work, your parents will have to pay the tuition owed before, plus ten times the tuition.
Shen Yuntang is the principal of this school, and he is also the husband of the prefect. No one would dare to go against him.
These girls and boys who were sent here to study were divided into several categories, related to the subjects.
Except for seamstresses, students of other majors do not have to live in the dormitory after graduation. They often go to work as managers in factories, or become teachers in schools, or work as accountants, clerks, and other office positions in factories. They can live in the dormitory or go home.
And their tuition fees are also higher. These students are generally children sent here by wealthy families in the city. There is also a fashion design major related to sewing work, which recruits girls and boys, but it is also some parents who love their children and send their precious children here. Although they do not earn as much as piece-rate sewing workers, parents heard that it is just drawing and easy, so they chose this major.
Seamstresses have lower tuition fees, longer working hours, and have to live in dormitories, but their wages are piece-rate, so they actually earn more than those people.
Generally, it was the daughters and sons of poor families or people from the county town or the countryside who were sent here because their homes were far away and it was not convenient for them to go home every day. At the beginning, Shen Yuntang did not have a rule that sewing workers must live in the dormitory. It was only after he looked at their information and learned that their homes were too far away that he made this rule.
The purpose of sending daughters and sons to work as sewing workers is to let them make money. Some people think that girls and sons are raised to marry and earn dowries, but now they find that dowries can only give a few dollars, which is not as high as wages. Anyway, there are several sons in the family, and they don’t feel sorry for their daughters and sons. It is better to send them to work, let them earn money and send it back home to support their brothers and sisters, and let them get married later.
These sewing workers are afraid to live in the dormitory, but their families don't care about them as long as they can make money.
Shen Yuntang was very angry after hearing about these things, but these parents did not have such thoughts. The boys and girls in the factory would never leave the village, and would never leave the family that wanted to sell them for money.
After they start working, their families will take their wages, but they can eat enough every day, including meat, rice and noodles. This is what they eat at home.

Not reachable.
First make sure they have enough food to eat, and then Shen Yuntang will find a way to change their mindsets, let them think more about themselves, and not give all their money to the family and to their brothers and sisters.
The sewing workers didn't know what Shen Yuntang was thinking, and they were afraid when they moved into the dormitory. However, after seeing the spacious and bright dormitory, the neatly made beds, and the new bedding and daily necessities on the beds, they became much happier.
They had never covered themselves with such thick quilts or used soap at home. Using this to wash their faces and hands would make their skin smooth and fragrant, and it would even produce charcoal in winter, allowing them to use it to survive the winter.
Some people who have been severely brainwashed by their families still want to secretly take soap or charcoal and food from the cafeteria home for their brothers and sisters, and they don’t care if they are cold and hungry.
At first Shen Yuntang didn't notice it, but later he found that several female workers had pale faces and trembling hands and feet, and realized that they had been hungry for several meals. There was also a boy whose clothes were a little dirty. After asking him carefully, he found out that he had secretly taken the soap home, and he couldn't wash his hands clean, so there were dirty marks on the clothes he made.
Although Shen Yuntang felt sorry for them, he had to punish them. Otherwise, if he set a precedent, it would be difficult to manage them in the future.
He did not fire them, but deducted one month's wages from them, and also had people guarding the gate, not allowing anyone to take anything out of the factory. If they were caught again next time, it would not just be a simple fine, they would be fired directly next time.
After working in the factory for a month, they have already fallen in love with this place. They are tired from working during the day, but not as tired as at home. At home, their parents scold them and their brothers order them around, but in the factory, no one beats or scolds them, and they have warm houses and meat for every meal. Even if they are not paid for this kind of life, they don't want to leave.
Those who had thought of stealing things to bring home for use have now given up the idea. Those who stole things to bring home were also instigated by their parents.
When it was time to pay the wages, the parents of the sewing workers came over. They said that their children could not take care of the money and they were afraid it would be lost, so they collected the money on their behalf.
These parents did not think of their children as children when they made them do heavy work before, but now that they come to collect wages, they think of them as children instead.
Shen Yuntang came over in person and said, "The wages can only be paid to the workers in this factory. All irrelevant personnel are kicked out!"
His words still carried weight. Those parents thought he was a jerk and looked down on him, but they knew the prefect was behind him and did not dare to say anything. Someone complained a few words and was directly taken away and thrown out of the factory by the security guards hired by Shen Yuntang.
Seeing this, other parents left the factory in shame, but they did not leave. Instead, they waited at the door and waited for their children to leave after they received their wages.
The parents who encouraged their children to steal things were very envious when they saw other children handing in their wages. Then when their own children came out, they heard that they were fined one month's wages for stealing. They were dumbfounded. Those things were worth only a few dollars, but they had lost a whole month's wages and were almost fired. They were so angry that they started crying and making a scene at the factory gate, attracting a lot of onlookers.
