"So, how much money do you have?"
The auntie was quite proud and said, "We get paid by the number of pieces."
As for how much each piece cost, the auntie refused to tell us, and no one else could tell her either, either.
Later, word came out from somewhere that the people hired by Lin Qingping were paid one dollar per piece.
That won’t work!
The factory was in an uproar!
Their monthly salary is only 30 or so yuan!
These people earn one dollar per garment, so wouldn't it be possible to catch up with their salary by altering just one garment a day? If someone is quick, they can make 60 by altering two garments a day! If they work overtime, wouldn't they make 180 a month?
This money originally belonged to them!
How can we let outsiders make money?
People's nature is revealed when they are in the face of interests. It is unknown who started it first, but complaints spread among the workers: "It's all Feng Debao's fault. If he hadn't instigated us, why would we go against the factory?"
"Yeah! What did we get for doing this? Von Debao didn't even give us a cup of tea!"
"That's right, they didn't even give us a cigarette!"
"I regret it so much, what should I do?"
"If we go and apologize to Section Chief Fu tomorrow, will we still be allowed to go to work?"
"I...I want to go to work too."
For a moment, the people in the workshop gathered under the basketball hoop in the lighted court, and everyone was talking about this matter.
Feng Debao got the information from somewhere and ran over.
When everyone saw him, they remembered the scene of him covered in sewage, and subconsciously covered their noses and ran away, leaving a circle of "air isolation zone" around Feng Debao.
"You guys..." Feng Debao stretched out his sleeves in anger, "Smell it, where do I stink? Where do I stink?"
Everyone remained silent and answered his question by covering their noses.
"Okay!" Feng Debao put aside the matter. "Let's not talk about this. I heard that you all want to surrender one by one? You are too disloyal and spineless, right? What about your promise to share weal and woe? What about your promise to advance and retreat together?"
For a long while, no one said anything.
Feng Debao thought he had frightened them, and was very proud. "I knew it! We are on the same path! Let's continue tomorrow! Xiao Wuzi, remember to bring your chess set tomorrow, and we'll play two games together!"
The little Wuzi who was called hesitated and finally spoke, "Brother, tomorrow... I don't want to make trouble anymore."
"What did you say?" Feng Debao jumped three feet high, "Say it again."
"I said, I don't want to make trouble anymore, I want to work properly!" Xiao Wuzi lowered his head, "My wife scolded me, saying that I was a fool and didn't want to make money. If I continue to be so stupid, my wife will divorce me."
"Your wife is just a woman! What does she know? Do you listen to your wife? Comrades, we must have a broad perspective! We must consider the long-term future of the factory..."
"You are not the factory director. Do you know what the long-term development of the factory is?"
Just when Feng Debao was about to make a long speech, someone suddenly made a sarcastic remark.
Feng Debao's face suddenly turned red.
"That's right. What do you mean by sharing the good and the bad? We haven't tasted the good!"
"That's right! We even have to buy the sunflower seeds we eat at work."
"Isn't it? If I don't go to work, I won't even have sunflower seeds to eat. I need to earn some money to buy some sunflower seeds!"
Once someone started this, the complaints were like a flood and could not be stopped, and the lighted stadium was almost boiling.
Feng Debao could no longer suppress the situation and stared at his followers, "Ahua! Liu Dagao! Meizi! Are you going to betray me too?"
Of these three people, one said, "Brother, I can't help it, my mother scolded me", one said, "Brother, my wife has no milk, my baby needs milk powder, which is very expensive", and another said, "I'm sorry, brother, I need to... save up for a dowry..."
Feng Debao was so angry, "Okay! All of you get out! All of you get out!"
It was just something he said in a fit of anger, but who would have thought that everyone in the lighted court would run away in an instant, leaving him alone, standing under the basketball hoop.
"You...how can you be so unreasonable!" Feng Debao walked back angrily.
Halfway through the walk, he looked at the residential building next to him, went in, knocked on the door of a house, and complained as soon as he entered the door, "I'm so angry! They are all disloyal people. They don't want to work anymore. They were bought off with a few dollars!"
"What's the hurry?" The man's voice sounded, "Try another way..."
the next day.
As soon as the factory work bell rang, workers entered the workshop one after another.
This time, it was unprecedented. Everyone was neatly dressed in work clothes. No one was carrying chess or playing cards, and no one was carrying melon seeds in their pockets. Everyone came with droopy faces and a look of trepidation.
However, when they walked into the workshop, they found that a dozen temporary workers had already started working at their workstations.
"Why...are you here so early?" the one named Mei Zi couldn't help but ask.
The aunt who answered yesterday said without even looking up, "Working! Why don't you come earlier? The quicker you use your time, the more you can earn!"
"That's right. We wanted to work overtime at night, but Master Lin wouldn't let us."
According to them, Lin Qingping taught them how to alter clothes, but they didn't know what Lin Qingping's position was, so they just called him master.
These words made the workers who came in angry again.
Yes! These temporary workers were hired by their master Lin! And what about these regular workers? Now they don’t even have the qualifications to work! They have to beg that yellow-haired girl with a sullen face!
She will be humiliated in return for what she had been humiliated before!
Just as they were thinking about it silently, Lin Qingping came, followed by Gu Youlian and Du Gen.
A large group of people in the workshop stood there and looked at the three of them at the same time.
Seeing that these three people ignored them and went directly to watch the temporary workers work, they became anxious and pushed each other.
Finally, an older sister who looked more honest and loyal came forward with an apologetic smile and also started calling out “Master Lin”.
"Master Lin, look at us..."
Lin Qingping turned around and looked at them pretending not to understand anything. After a while, he nodded as if he suddenly realized something. "Oh, you guys just continue to sit there, chatting or playing chess, whatever you want."
“But…” The eldest sister looked embarrassed.
"It's okay! I have about twenty people here and they will be here tomorrow. You guys go and do your own things!" Lin Qingping looked very easy to talk to.
What are they busy with!
Moreover, some unkind people are already thinking: This woman clearly understood but she pretended not to understand? She is just deliberately making things difficult for me! She is just putting on airs!
But so what? Even if they are just pretending, they are the ones who are bullying others first, so why should they not allow others to fight back?
The eldest sister had to explain it more clearly, "Master Lin, it's like this. We want to come back to work properly. Can you see if there is anything we can do?"
