Chapter 232 Wen Shishi's Ambition
When Tang Tianqiao turned around, he saw Tang Zhimei standing timidly in front of him, with Wang Xueping following behind her.
"Second brother, you're back."
Wang Xueping still had a flattering smile on her face.
The mother and daughter both looked a little sallow, and they didn't look very well.
The two had suffered enough. Tang Zhimei had originally planned to find a way to get in touch with Qin Qing after returning to the village and find some evidence against her. Unexpectedly, Qin Qing left Dagang Village shortly after her return, and no one knew where she had gone. She and Wang Xueping even came to Ma Fangfang's house to help with manual labor to get enough food three times a day.
Tang Zhimei had long since felt the strain of living like this, but she had no other options, so the mother and daughter just endured. Now, upon seeing Tang Tianqiao return, all the grievances in Tang Zhimei's heart came out, and she looked pitiful.
"Uncle, if you don't come back, my mother and I won't be able to survive."
Tang Zhimei held Tang Tianqiao's hand and cried.
"What's wrong? What's going on with you guys?"
Although Tang Tianqiao had already understood Wang Xueping's character, Tang Zhimei was still young after all. Seeing her crying like this, Tang Tianqiao felt a little distressed.
"Second brother, you don't know that if you don't come back, Xiaomei and I will be killed by osmium!"
Wang Xueping wailed, not caring about the villagers' eager eyes. Ever since Tang Tiansheng fell into a coma, she had lost all dignity.
"Sister-in-law, don't worry. If you need money, I have it here."
Tang Tianqiao took out a hundred yuan from his bag and handed it to Wang Xueping.
Wang Xueping didn't expect that Tang Tianqiao could easily take out a hundred yuan. She immediately took the money and gave Tang Zhimei a wink.
Tang Zhimei understood what Wang Xueping meant, and quickly spoke to Tang Tianqiao.
"Uncle, there are too many people here. Let's go back home and talk."
Tang Zhimei led Tang Tianqiao to Fang's house. The mother and daughter had no other place to live now, so they had been living in Fang Zhiwei's house. When Tang Zhimei thought of the dilapidated house, her eyes were full of disgust.
But fortunately, looking at Tang Tianqiao beside her, Tang Zhimei made up her mind that no matter what, she would use Tang Tianqiao to completely get away from that broken place today.
Qin Qing was showing Wen Shishi the inventory in the warehouse, and had no idea that Tang Zhimei and her daughter were frantically feeding Tang Tianqiao some drug.
"Did you guys do all this? You did a great job!"
Wen Shishi's eyes were filled with amazement. She had originally looked at this shabby place, and she had never expected that so many people were still gathered there. She had never expected that such good clothes could be made in such a harsh environment.
If Qin Qing knew what Wen Shishi was thinking, she would probably feel helpless. Their family's environment was quite good for a rural family, but it still didn't catch Miss Wen's eye.
"Our workers are doing a great job! It's just... Qin Qing, I wanted to discuss something with you."
Ma Fangfang is still very confident about the clothes produced by her company, as she has been paying close attention to their production.
Everyone was working incredibly hard to make money. Qin Qing had already announced that wages would be paid daily. With money in hand every day, who wouldn't work their hardest?
"If you have anything to say, just tell me, sister-in-law." Qin Qing nodded.
"We're short of sewing machines right now! We only have three, and they're not enough! I was thinking, could we buy a few more? But Fang Zhiwei's not here, so we can't buy used ones. If we buy new ones, they're not cheap."
Ma Fangfang frowned. Of course, she hoped to have as many sewing machines as possible.
Qin Dashan and Yueji have been teaching other female workers how to use sewing machines. Now Qin Dashan has become a master and all he needs to do every day is watch people work.
Everyone who knew how to sew was assigned to Hanban, but there were clearly not enough machines. If they had three more, their production could double!
"Then let's buy new ones!"
Qin Qing calculated that she had only received 18,000 yuan in bonuses, which was more than enough. So she nodded and said, "Sister-in-law, is it enough to buy ten more sewing machines?"
"Ten? That's... that's certainly enough! But it's quite a bit of a price!"
Ma Fangfang was stunned. She didn't expect Qin Qing to say that she wanted to buy ten units. She thought that buying three units would be enough.
"I can afford this price. I can just buy ten more."
Qin Qing had already made up her mind. When she returned to Shancheng, she would order the sewing machine and have it delivered to Dagang Village. Ma Fangfang would then be able to take care of everything else, and she could go to Kyoto with peace of mind.
"You're going to buy ten more sewing machines? Where are you going to put them?"
Ten sewing machines were a small amount of money for Wen Shishi. When she asked this question, Qin Qing was about to answer, but Ma Fangfang spoke for her first.
"We have an empty room on the second floor, you can do it there too."
Wen Shishi shook her head. "How many workers do you have who can use sewing machines?"
Ma Fangfang thought for a moment and said, "About twenty-seven or twenty-eight."
"Why only buy ten? Why not buy thirty? That way everyone can have one and there's still room for those who don't know how to use them."
Wen Shishi said this with great pride, and her words shocked Ma Fangfang.
"Thirty...thirty? Oh my god, how much does that cost!"
Ma Fangfang silently calculated in her mind: if a brand new sewing machine costs 300 yuan, then thirty of them would cost 9,000 yuan! This... this much money, can Qin Qing afford it?
Ma Fangfang subconsciously looked at Qin Qing, and Qin Qing also knew what she was thinking.
"It's not that I can't afford it, but if I want 30 sewing machines, plus my first and second floors combined, I won't be able to fit them all."
In addition to the area issue, the noise generated by these 30 sewing machines is quite loud. If she were to use them in such a blatant manner at home, it would probably disturb the neighbors. If a noise really broke out, her small workshop, which did not have a business license, would be in big trouble.
"Then don't do it here. This place is too small and cramped."
Wen Shishi acted as if it was a matter of course, but Ma Fangfang was puzzled. She could tell from the way Wen Shishi was dressed that she came from a prominent family.
"Miss Wen, this place is indeed small, but it is the best place we can find."
When I was at her house, the place was even smaller! Being able to work here at Qin Qing's place, in a two-story building like this, is already a very good condition.
"Sister Qing, why don't you get them all to work in the county town? Stop running small workshops and just open a factory!"
