The Lu brothers and the Zhang brothers were also confused and couldn't understand what Sun meant.
"snort!"
Sun snorted coldly and said, "Remember what you're saying now. You have no objections, but if something goes wrong, don't blame others!"
This is a warning to everyone: since they haven't contributed much, they shouldn't have any complaints when it comes to distributing benefits.
"Mother, don't worry, we understand!"
Boss Lu was the first to speak up, and the others echoed him: "We never dared to dream of living such a good life now, so naturally we wouldn't have any bad thoughts!"
Her gaze swept over everyone present, and seeing their reactions, she felt much more at ease.
"Have a meal!"
With a wave of his hand, Madam Sun signaled everyone to start eating properly.
After finishing their meal and resting for a while, everyone went back to their own business. He Jiu Niang saw Sun Shi enter the house and followed her inside.
"Mom, thank you so much for what you did this morning!"
She smiled sheepishly, while Mrs. Sun rolled her eyes: "Why are you thanking me? You're happy to be scolded at the dinner table? What a shameless wretch!"
"Hehehe..." He Jiuniang was not annoyed, and took her arm. "I know that you said that for my own good. I forgot to tell my brother and sister-in-law yesterday. If you hadn't told them just now, they would have had some complaints when the welfare was distributed. I didn't think it through."
"They wouldn't dare!" Madam Sun immediately retorted, her face contorted with malice. "I'll be the first to break their legs!"
"Pfft~"
He Jiu Niang couldn't help but burst out laughing. The old lady said she wasn't protecting her, but look at her now, what else is there to not understand?
Seeing her like this, Madam Sun felt annoyed and patted her back twice: "Get out, get out, don't bother me!"
"Alright! You can rest now!"
He Jiuniang got up and left; she also needed to coax the children in her family to take their afternoon nap.
After putting the little monkeys to sleep, she began to devise a plan for the job arrangements of the family members, which needed to be gradually standardized.
Meanwhile, Madam Yu and Madam Qin realized the meaning behind Madam Sun's commotion at the dinner table and smiled helplessly.
"Mother really underestimates us. We've only been able to live a good life thanks to my third brother's wife these past few days. How can you think like that!"
"This is also to provide some protection for my third brother's wife. Since my third brother is not here, I should protect her to some extent. This is only right."
“Actually, when I went back to cook yesterday afternoon, I vaguely heard my third sister-in-law talking to my mother about this. I didn’t understand much, so I didn’t ask any more questions. I trust my third sister-in-law, but I saw from afar that my mother hit her several times.”
"Yes, my third sister-in-law is always thinking of ways to solve the family's problems. We are busy on the surface, but she is busy behind the scenes. Look at those design drawings and plans. Even if you put a knife to my throat, I still couldn't come up with them! And yet, my third sister-in-law still has to take care of our feelings. It's really not easy for her!"
"Who can argue with that! In the end, the fact that our two families could come up with twenty taels of silver all came from our third brother's wife. If she hadn't shared it with us, we wouldn't have had any reason to accept it!"
"Thinking about it this way, I really feel sorry for my third sister-in-law! No, I have to go and have a serious talk with her!"
"I'm going too!"
The two women put down their needlework and fabric, got up and headed home. Since they weren't paid by the quantity of work they did, it didn't matter how much they did. The most important thing was to maintain good relations between the sisters-in-law.
Lu Guilan watched them leave with a slight smile on her lips. Fortunately, her two sisters-in-law were easy to get along with and could understand and be considerate of each other, which was why the family was doing better and better.
He Jiuniang had just written a few proposals when she heard Yu Shi calling her softly outside the window. Looking up, she saw Yu Shi and Qin Shi waving at her from outside the window, signaling her to come out.
She put down her pen, glanced at the sleeping dog, and quietly left the house.
"Sister-in-law, what's wrong?"
In order not to wake the children in the houses, the group went out into the yard to talk.
Madam Yu grabbed He Jiu Niang's hand and said, "Third sister-in-law, my second sister-in-law and I thought about it for a while before we understood what Mother meant. Just like I said, we believe in you and remember your kindness. If you want to do something, just do it. We won't have any objections!"
Madam Qin chimed in, "Yes, Third Sister-in-law, we're not very bright and can't really help much usually. If there's anything you need, just tell us what to do. We'll listen to you and don't need to consult us. We don't understand those things and we won't overthink it!"
"Regarding the welfare issue, I overheard you and Mom discussing it when I came home to cook yesterday. I really didn't think it was a big deal, and I didn't ask for details. Naturally, I just trusted you. Don't overthink it! You've been helping the family business and making our lives better and better. We're so grateful to you, how could we blame you?"
Listening to what Madam Yu and Madam Qin had to say, He Jiuniang felt a warm glow in her heart. It was precisely because everyone in her family understood and supported each other that she was willing to do those things.
"Thank you, sisters-in-law!"
He Jiuniang was sincerely grateful. She really didn't expect the two of them to come to her alone and talk about these things so frankly. She was deeply moved.
"We're all family, what's there to thank? If we really have to thank someone, it's us who should thank you. If it weren't for you, we would all have starved to death on that famine relief journey. How could we be living such a good life where we can eat meat every meal!"
Mr. Yu patted her hand, his smile genuine.
He Jiuniang nodded and said, "In that case, let's call my younger sister and the Shen family's sister over as well. I have some things to discuss with you all."
"Hey, I'll go call them!"
Qin turned and left. He Jiuniang went back to her room to get the division of labor plan she had just written. The group sat and talked under the shady eaves.
"Our workshop officially opens today. Tomorrow morning I'll go to the county town to see if we can recruit some more embroiderers. The orders from the brothel can't be delayed any longer. My sisters-in-law don't need to make clothes every day anymore; there are many things waiting for you to handle."
Now, the Yu family members see themselves as female workers, thinking that they don't have any special skills, so they can only make more clothes to realize their value. The workshop is established, but what it lacks is not workers, but management.
For example, there's a registrar who records late arrivals, early departures, or leave requests every day; a quality inspector responsible for checking the quality of the clothes; a supervisor who patrols the female workers' work at any time; and even a logistics manager responsible for logistics management; oh yes, and an accountant is also needed.
P.S.: Today was a special day; my stomach was killing me, but I still had to attend my little cousin's parent-teacher conference. I'll add the missing chapters later, so you can save them up and read them together tomorrow, no need to wait too late. This is the consequence of not having any drafts saved up, sob sob. I absolutely have to start saving up drafts like crazy tomorrow, otherwise I'll feel so bad for my darlings.
Some girls asked when the male and female leads will reunite. The male lead still has some things to deal with, the plot needs to move forward, and he needs to resolve these issues first. So please be patient, everyone.
Some of you might think the dog's name isn't nice. The dog does have a formal name, but it's just called by its nickname at home. It will be called by its real name when it goes to school or when the girl takes it out to see the world. Don't worry, everyone! Love you all~
