I hope everything will be alright for Wu Qianli from now on. Although Liu Nian is concerned about her situation, the factory has already been built, and there are many things waiting for her to finish up.
Liu Nian was so busy with her own affairs that she couldn't take care of anything else.
The workers' work points for building the factory are all kept in record, and will be distributed uniformly from above.
The wages were jointly paid by Liu Nian and the government. When the factory was completed, Liu Nian paid her share.
The government distributed the wages to their respective foremen, and the workers who worked under Su Xu quickly received their pay.
However, some workers from other villages reported that they had not received a single penny of wages.
So they all blocked Liu Nian's doorway.
"We're not trying to make things difficult for you," a group of men, all dressed in patched clothes, said helplessly. "We really have no other choice."
"We're almost starving! We're waiting for the money to go back and buy rice to cook!"
"Please have pity on us, we need to live too!"
Liu Nian knew that life wasn't easy for anyone these days. The people in front of her were tanned dark and shiny after a summer of hard work, and they all looked at her with long faces.
Su Xu frowned and said, "Has the money already been given to Zheng Laosan?"
Zheng Qianduo said, "He said you didn't give it to him, so he sent us to ask you."
Is this the beginning of unpaid wages for migrant workers? Liu Nian was furious. A surge of anger rushed to her head, and she pulled Su Xu aside, saying, "Come on, let's go to their house and ask them what's going on!"
She turned to Zheng Qianduo and said, "Lead the way."
Bringing Zheng Qianduo along wasn't just about having him lead the way, but also about having him act as a witness.
Su Xu started the tractor and drove it straight to Zhengjia Village with a "putt-putt-putt" sound.
"Let me tell you, that Zheng Laosan is a smiling tiger, you can't trust him."
Zheng Qian sighed sadly, "Their family is a prominent one in the village, with eight brothers alone. If anyone offends one of them, the other brothers will immediately jump out to back them up. No one in the village dares to mess with them."
"I understand." Liu Nian nodded with a stern face.
When the group arrived, Zheng Laosan happened to be at home. Liu Nian had only knocked a few times when he immediately opened the door.
Upon seeing Liu Nian and Su Xu, he greeted them with a fawning smile, "Oh, it's the boss! Come in quickly!"
His wife was sitting in the house, staring at Zheng Laosan with disdain.
"What's wrong?" Zheng Qianduo looked at the two of them and said, "Did we come at the wrong time?"
It's obvious that the couple is fighting.
Liu Nian frowned. She didn't care what others were doing and immediately asked without any politeness, "Now that the government's money has been distributed, shouldn't you settle the workers' wages?"
Unexpectedly, Zheng Laosan immediately nodded and said, "Of course, of course, the money just arrived in my hands. It might be a little slow here, but I'll settle the accounts with the brothers right away!"
Upon hearing this, Zheng Qianduo immediately felt relieved.
As a result, Zheng Laosan's wife immediately threw the bowl on the ground and yelled, "Zheng Laosan, you promised me you'd pay back the dowry you owe my family! Otherwise, how will my brother get married? Anyway, I've already given the money to my mother!"
"Oh dear, wife!" Zheng Laosan cried, his face contorted with grief. "You've made me make a mistake!"
"I don't care, you figure out the money yourself!" She puffed out her cheeks and glared at Zheng Laosan. "Or you can ask my mom for it!"
"Tell me, what kind of trouble has my shrew done?" Zheng Laosan immediately knelt down before Zheng Qianduo with a thud. "Brother, can you just consider it money borrowed from your older brother? Let me think of a way!"
He spoke with such sincerity, but Liu Nian glanced at the woman standing next to him. The woman smoothed her hair and scoffed.
