After several failures, Yue Workshop finally developed a sock knitting machine, but it could knit straight socks without heels.
Tang Shiyue thought it was pretty good and could be worn by people of all sizes, so she asked someone to bring it back and planned to put it in the workshop for trial use for a while to see the effect before mass production.
Qiao Sangyu tried it out. She only needed to push and pull back and forth, and in less than half a cup of tea, she had knitted a sock. She took it out and hand-locked the edges while saying happily, "Not bad! I think it's good!"
Seeing her two needles locking the edges, Tang Shiyue thought of asking her, "Have you finished the copper hook needle you asked someone to make?"
Before she finished her sentence, her eyes suddenly fixed.
The place where the two of them were was where they usually entertained guests and took a rest. It was right next to the workshop. Tang Shiyue watched a man go out and was about to reach the door when his expression suddenly turned cold and he said from a distance, "Stop!"
Qiao Sangyu was slightly stunned.
Tang Shiyue had already walked out quickly.
The gatekeeper of Yuefang was a stout woman from the village named Chen. She was straightforward and very dedicated. As she came out to greet the guests, she saw Tang Shiyue chasing after her and was startled: "Master Tang Fang?"
Ever since Tang Shiyue no longer managed the winery, everyone started calling her the owner of the winery. After all, she had called herself the owner of Yuefang when she issued the bounty order.
...
...
Tang Shiyue nodded.
When the young lady saw her, she trembled all over and knelt down on the ground.
Qiao Sangyu followed him out and frowned: "Zhu Xiaohong? Where are you going?"
Zhu Xiaohong didn't even dare to raise her head, and said, "I asked for leave from Boss Tang."
Qiao Sangyu said, "If I remember correctly, you also asked for leave at this time yesterday. Where are you going?"
Zhu Xiaohong said in a trembling voice: "My father is ill. I have asked for leave at noon these few days to go back and make medicine for him..."
The two of them were talking, Tang Shiyue just looked at her and suddenly interrupted her: "Take it out." Zhu Xiaohong was stunned, Tang Shiyue said calmly: "Do you want to take it out yourself, or should I find someone to do it?"
Qiao Sangyu also understood at once: "Zhu Xiaohong! Did you steal the wool?"
Zhu Xiaohong was shaking so much that she couldn't stand up. She was trembling and trying to deny it, but Mrs. Chen couldn't help it and shouted angrily, "How dare you steal Mr. Tang's things! You are shameless! You have no conscience!"
She went straight to her feet and tore open her outer robe. There were three or four pounds of wool tied around her waist and abdomen. Zhu Xiaohong collapsed to the ground immediately.
Qiao Sangyu was shaking with anger. Seeing Zhu Xiaohong's frightened expression, Tang Shiyue said, "Okay, take back the yarn, collect her knitting brand, settle the wages, and you don't have to come again."
She just left.
Qiao Sangyu angrily called someone over, untied the wool, took back her knitter's badge, and kicked her out.
Qiao Sangyu's way of thinking was greatly influenced by Tang Shiyue. She immediately thought that since someone could steal so much, it meant that there was a loophole in the warehouse management. She hurried to find Qian, who was in charge of the warehouse. The two discussed it and modified the warehouse management system. Then she gave it to Tang Shiyue to see.
Tang Shiyue praised her with satisfaction and asked her, "Why did she steal the wool? Have you checked?"
"I've asked!" Qiao Sangyu said angrily, "It's said that someone paid her to teach people how to do things privately, and she couldn't bear to leave Yuefang and didn't want to be a bridge maker, so she came up with this crooked idea. This is the third time! She had already stolen seven pounds of thread before, and that person took it all away!"
Seeing her sitting at her feet, very angry, Tang Shiyue patted her head and said, "Okay, okay, Ayu, don't be angry anymore. You won't be beautiful if you are always angry." At the same time, he touched her face.
Qiao Sangyu glared at her speechlessly.
Her master is good in every way, except that she sometimes acts like a little hooligan and likes to tease people.
She rolled her eyes at her and walked away, only to run into Xia Yuhui, who called her, "Ayu?"
Qiao Sangyu left without stopping, and Xia Yuhui turned back and looked at her back.
Hmm? Tang Shiyue, who witnessed all this, raised her eyebrows.
She pretended that she hadn't noticed anything, called Qing Weilai over, and asked him to find out which family the person belonged to.
Originally, the matter was almost over. Although Qiao Sangyu was angry, he was concerned that Zhu Xiaohong was from the same village, so he did not shout at her, which was considered as showing mercy.
But the gatekeeper, Mrs. Chen, was also from the village, and the matter still spread. Now that Tang Shiyue's reputation was at its peak, everyone was extremely angry and clamored to drive this family out.
The next day, Tang Shiyue was discussing the new wine shop with Xia Yuhui when a young lady came running over in a hurry: "Master! Something happened! Zhu Xiaohong hanged herself the night before, and the Zhu family is carrying the dead body and making trouble in front of Yuefang!"
Tang Shiyue frowned.
Xia Yuhui stood up and said, "Let me go over there. I can help A Yu deal with this matter." Then he hurried away.
Tang Shiyue hesitated.
Although it has always been the case that whoever is weaker is right, when it comes to human lives, the two sides will naturally be three points shorter. But they are in the wrong and dare to make such a big fuss?
She always felt something was wrong.
She simply went over as well. She could hear the wailing from a distance, but as soon as Tang Shiyue appeared, the noise from those people died down.
Tang Shiyue walked over at a moderate pace and stood in front of them.
Then she said, "Mr. Xia."
Xia Yuhui turned around and responded, "Boss."
"Write down these people's names, places of origin, and facial features. From now on, I, Tang Shiyue, will not use them for any of my assets, whether they are now or in the future."
The crowd suddenly quieted down, even the crying members of the Zhu family fell silent.
Tang Shiyue continued, "In addition, all the relatives, in-laws, and close friends of these people should be thoroughly checked, and they should be used if possible in the future."
It was very hateful, but extremely effective. They were rendered speechless at the time.
No one, including Qiao Sangyu and Xia Yuhui, expected that she would confront them head-on right from the start.
The villagers in particular were used to her protecting and not caring about the people in Yuefang. Even the Zhu family members were somewhat confident of this and never expected that she would turn against them.
The woman screamed, "You forced my daughter to death! How dare you do this! Are you being unreasonable?"
Tang Shiyue said coldly: "Please clarify before you speak, what do you mean by I forced Zhu Xiaohong to death? She stole my things, and I dealt with her. I don't have foresight, so how can I know what happened afterwards?"
The old woman burst into tears and said, "If you hadn't caught her, how could my Xiaohong commit suicide? It's so unfair!"
She fell to the ground and burst into tears.
Tang Shiyue said slowly: "To put it bluntly, what you rely on is nothing more than the four words 'the dead are the greatest'. Things that originally made no sense suddenly become reasonable after a person dies? I don't believe this nonsense!"
"Let me tell you, there are two major rules in this world: one is the law, and the other is morality. I am definitely not guilty of anything according to the law, so let's not talk about that for now. I will only talk to you about morality."
"Suppose Zhu Xiaohong didn't steal anything, but I falsely accused her of stealing, causing her to be wrongly accused and bear the stigma, and then commit suicide... You can come to me. Although she committed suicide according to the law, I was wrong morally, and I admit it.
But the situation now is that she stole something, and I just fired her, took back her knitting brand, didn't beat her, scold her, or make any fuss, and even didn't delay her wages for these days. I did my best! After that, no matter what she did, you have no right to come after me, because I did nothing wrong!"
"I'm not wrong! This is the key! Could it be that someone stole my things and I should just swallow my anger and let her continue stealing? That doesn't make sense no matter how you put it!"
She paused, "Did you hear me clearly? Right is right, wrong is wrong, black is black, white is white! I did nothing wrong, I have a clear conscience! So, not only will I not pay a penny, but I will also never hire anyone who comes to make trouble with me!"
"I never take the initiative to cause trouble, but I'm not afraid of it either. If there is anything in the future that has to do with me, it's best to find someone who can talk to me and talk it out. Regardless of whether it succeeds or fails, right or wrong, at least I won't punish you. But if you want to make trouble and force me to submit, sorry, I won't accept it!"
