Li Yue'e and the others sat for a while, and after confirming that Lin Ying was alright, they went back. They also needed to report this matter to the army, so that they could have Granny Chun, Granny Xing, and Xing arrested together.
The village chief didn't cover for them; in fact, he even had someone keep an eye on them. So, the police quickly came down and took them away.
Despite being wrapped up very tightly, Lin Ying still caught a chill.
Fortunately, her bones hadn't healed yet, so Lin Ying prescribed herself some medicine and did fumigation. Of course, Lin Ying only continued this a week after giving birth because her body was too weak and prone to sweating. It took a week of recuperation before she felt better.
Despite the fact that Aunt Chun was involved, Lin Ying still found someone else to cook for them.
This time, however, the child refused to let anyone else touch him.
Moreover, it wasn't just her who was worried; everyone in the family, including the two tiger cubs, was on high alert.
They don't know how they came up with it, but the five little ones took turns standing guard.
They never left the child's side.
Haoyu, in particular, still makes sure to check on the child every day to make sure the child hasn't been switched.
Lin Ying was both touched and amused.
For example, right now, seeing Niu Niu come in, Er Ya stood up and said, "Niu Niu, the rest is up to you."
"Awoo~"
Then Niu Niu went over and smelled the scent, and then lay down by the bed.
Lin Ying had no idea how Er Ya communicated with Niu Niu, yet Niu Niu had no communication barriers.
Lin Ying named her son Xiao Liu. Even Niu Niu and Hu Zi were named before him.
As for the name, Lin Ying will wait until Zhao Qinghuai returns before making it, if he is able to return.
Time passed slowly during her postpartum confinement period because it was so boring. Moreover, Lin Ying took her health very seriously and avoided doing anything that was forbidden during this time.
She didn't know Zhao Qinghuai's current situation. This family couldn't do without her, so she had to take good care of herself.
Fortunately, Lin Ying doesn't have much to do during the winter.
In May, as the weather warmed up, Lin Ying, having stayed home for over a month, finally drank the spiritual spring water, took the pills, and soaked in the hot springs. Only after confirming her complete recovery did she begin to get busy again.
However, because Lin Ying had a lot of breast milk, it was always troublesome to do chores, and her clothes were always wet.
Therefore, Lin Ying, who originally planned to farm with everyone, had to give up and instead opened a vegetable garden at home to grow vegetables.
Last winter, the heating systems at Factory No. 2 sold like hotcakes again, earning the factory another profit.
Jiang He visited her during the Chinese New Year; at that time, they were still living in a tent and a car. It broke Jiang He's heart. So much so that he ended up paying 200 yuan out of the 1000 yuan bonus the factory was supposed to give him.
Not only did she receive a bonus, but she also got a raise. From now on, she would receive 120 yuan every month. Lin Ying also took the opportunity to suggest to Jiang He that they exchange the four industrial coupons for 20 jin of grain coupons.
At that time, Lin Ying was also given a piece of news: her contract had been changed.
They originally thought Lin Ying only invented small gadgets, which is why she planned to invent one thing a year. But who knew that Lin Ying would provide them with heating and fans that would ensure they wouldn't have to worry about anything for several years?
In addition, with the table saw and the handsaw already in existence, it's fair to say that they're not begging Lin Ying to invent these things anymore; moreover, they don't have the energy to work on the inventions that Lin Ying has already given them.
So they held quite a few meetings about this matter back then.
At first, some people said that since they no longer needed her, they should just terminate the cooperation after one year, according to the contract.
However, this approach of discarding the donkey after it has served its purpose was immediately rejected by everyone.
After all, everyone has seen Lin Ying's abilities. If she really did that, her reputation would be ruined, and who would dare to cooperate with the factory in the future? But, she earns over a hundred yuan a month without doing anything, which is more than the workers' wages. Who would be willing to do that? Besides, the factory paid for Lin Ying's design in the first place. The factory doesn't owe her anything.
Finally, it was Grandpa Jiang who spoke up:
"Overseas, do you think a designer can buy a design for a thousand dollars? Let's not even talk about overseas, just look at Fanxing Town. Everyone knows that as long as the plan is profitable, they'll pay. Our factory isn't even as good as an entire commune?"
"How can that be the same? The commune didn't give us a thousand yuan."
"Is a thousand yuan a lot? Just for the heating system, they offered three different plans, and we only gave them a thousand yuan. But we've been using this plan for two years. We expect to be able to use it again next year and the year after! And what about electric fans? How many electric fans did our factory sell this year? Four hundred thousand! Would you have dared to imagine that before?"
Okay, let's not talk about that. Let's not even talk about how their products support a factory's workforce. Let's talk about the future!
This era is developing so fast, let's not even talk about anything else, just take fans. They can already provide a diagram; who knows, there might be even more amazing ones in the future. You're already using them and then discarding them. What will you be doing when electric fans become obsolete? You'll be eating farts then!
One sentence brought everyone to their senses, even though they weren't sure how long the heating and fans would last. They knew their entire families depended on this factory for a living.
If the factory closes down, they will lose their jobs.
What will the whole family eat then? Will the whole family go to the countryside?
Just thinking about it makes me scared.
Grandpa Jiang single-handedly changed everyone's minds, giving Lin Ying one hundred a month—no, one hundred and twenty. They had to give her more. To make her think of their factory in the future. Although they didn't need new inventions now, no one could predict the future.
If each of the factory's thousands of employees were given a dime, that would be enough. Besides, the factory doesn't need that much money right now.
Besides, if the money isn't given to Lin Ying, it might end up in someone else's pocket. It's better to give it to Lin Ying; at least they'll be more willing to do so.
And so, Lin Ying signed a new contract, which meant that she would no longer need to provide blueprints every year, and her factory wages would not be reduced.
However, Lin Ying still offered Jiang He a solution. This time, however, it wasn't a large fan, but a hand fan. It used mechanical principles; pressing a button would turn the small fan on.
This fan is suitable for people to use when they go out, and it can also be used as a toy for children.
Jiang He didn't really care about the little thing. How cool could something so small be?
