That night, Mrs. Li went to the Song family to make a scene.
It turned out that after Zhou Dafu made the matter clear, he not only asked their family to return the stolen food, but also fired Mrs. Li.
The Zhou family, who were originally relatives, also broke up completely.
"Boss, we are from the same village, you have to believe me. I am so old and I just don't want it anymore. How am I going to live in the future?" Mrs. Li cried while sitting on the threshold of the Song family.
Song Yuehua said, "Since Granny Li feels wronged, why not let the government officials investigate? If they find you wronged, I will not only hire you back, but also compensate you with 10 taels of silver. How do you think?"
10 taels of silver!
Mrs. Li's heart skipped a beat when she heard this, but she still said with a guilty conscience, "It's just a small matter in the village, why bother to alert those officials? I don't want any money, as long as I can continue to work for my boss."
Song Yuehua was amused by the woman. "Things have come to this point. We can't just let it go in vain. I'll go to the county town to report to the authorities tomorrow morning. Let the officials decide the right and wrong."
Seeing that Song Yuehua was young, Mrs. Li wanted to fool her. After all, everyone who had worked in Dongshan knew that no matter the wages, food, or house, they were all top-notch, and no one would be willing to give up this job.
Unexpectedly, Song Yuehua was so difficult to talk to and had to report to the police. If the truth was really revealed, not only Mrs. Li, but the entire family would be in trouble.
There was no other way, so Granny Li stood up and yelled at Song Yuehua, "I took the grain, is it necessary to report such a small matter to the police? We are from the same village, and we will meet each other every day. Do you have to do this to such an extreme?"
"So you admit it?" Song Yuehua stared at Li Pozi and sneered, "According to the laws of this dynasty, those who steal the property of their master will be imprisoned for more than one year and less than three years. In serious cases, it will be imprisoned for less than five years."
Mrs. Li was so frightened that she dared not shout anymore.
Song Yuehua continued, "I won't tell you what you are thinking. If it weren't for the fact that we are from the same village and the head of the village, I would not give up easily. Everyone, just quit while you are ahead!"
Every word Song Yuehua said struck a chord with Li Pozi and her family.
"What are you doing here!?"
Zhou Dafu's voice rose in anger, "Does it have to be known to the whole village?"
"Da Fu..."
Before Mrs. Li’s family could say anything, Zhou Dafu scolded them, “Go back now. If you dare to cause trouble with the boss again, don’t blame me for being rude.”
After everyone left, Zhou Dafu immediately apologized to Song Yuehua, "There are only 50 kilograms of corn left in Dongshan. I will make up for the missing corn. Daya, I made a mistake this time and trusted the wrong person."
"This matter should only serve as a lesson to the two of us. Uncle Dafu doesn't have to be too hard on himself." Song Yuehua said, "I'll ask Manager Liu to make up for the food. If you feel bad about it, please ask Aunt Lin to cook for me for a few days. I'll replace her when I find someone else."
"I will be responsible for the rice before May. That's settled." Zhou Dafu insisted, "Your Aunt Lin will be in charge of cooking for the time being."
After Zhou Dafu left, Xiaoyu asked curiously, "Sister Song, how come you know the law?"
Song Yuehua laughed and said, "I made that up. It won't go wrong to scare someone like Mrs. Li."
Xiaoyu was stunned and deeply impressed.
After Song Yuehua returned to the house, she took Dabao aside, leaned against the kang bed and sighed.
Seeing her like this, Xiaoyu asked, "Sister, do you have anything else bothering you?"
Xiaoyu also sat over, looking serious.
Song Yuehua looked at the two little girls and said, "There are three managers in Dongshan now. Usually they are in charge of their own affairs and cook separately. It seems that we need to reorganize them now."
"The kitchen in the compound is not small. We can hire a few people to cook meals. It won't be a problem to use it as a kitchen, but we need to find a few trustworthy people to do the work."
Xiaoyu barely thought about it and said directly, "Isn't it just right for my brother to go?"
"Xie Wenwu?" Song Yuehua paused, then said, "No, no, he is only 12 years old and is still studying."
Xie Yu didn't understand, "Sister Song, why do you always think my brother is good at studying? He can't do much, and cooking happens to be his strength. It's better for him to practice it earlier."
Song Yuehua shook her head and said, "He is still too young, at least he should grow up a little."
"I'll go call Brother Wenwu over to ask him." Xiaoyu jumped off the bed and ran out.
In Song Yuehua's opinion, a 12-year-old is still a junior high school student. The Xie family has not made any arrangements, so it is not appropriate for her to take over.
Moreover, given Xie Wenwu's cultural level, which is difficult to describe in words, he still has to study if he can.
After Xie Wenwu came over, Xie Yu told him about the kitchen. Xie Wenwu's eyes lit up immediately, "Master, Liu Xue is my junior sister. If she can work for you, so can I!"
At this point, Song Yuehua was in tears. She only had two apprentices, but one of them fed pigs and the other cooked.
Seeing that Song Yuehua was unwilling to give in.
Xie Wenwu advised, "Master, I can't get any results no matter how much I recite. Why don't you let me help you do something practical? Otherwise, if you look at me like this, will I be able to do anything else in the future?"
Song Yuehua sighed and said, "Studying makes you wise and sensible. I don't want you to do great things, but at least you should understand the principles."
"Then the master and the junior sister didn't study either." Xie Wenwu pouted and muttered.
"Who said Liu Xue didn't study!" Song Yuehua said angrily, "She knows as many words as you do now. Do you really think her job is that easy? Starting tomorrow, you will live in the compound for a month and work with Liu Xue for a month. See if you dare to look down on her."
"Master, how dare I look down on others..." Xie Wenwu said aggrievedly.
