Chapter 444, lose face
This person was surrounded by circles, Mu Wanling was in the middle, and the guards surrounded her in the second circle, and the third circle was the escorts brought by the merchants and the guards they brought. The outside was the villagers watching the fun.
Su Zhen took the escalator to tell Su Hua the truth about the scene on the wall, "Sister, will they fight?"
Su Wan closed her sleeves and smiled and raised her head, "They won't fight. Businessmen are not excited to shout and kill. They will only fight for their own interests and get their own interests."
"Oh, okay, it sounds very profound, but I still want to know if they can fight. If she wants her to bully her sister before, she deserves to be surrounded by these people, why didn't she fight?" Su Zhen was angry, wishing she could pick up a stone and throw it over and smash it to Mu Wanling to relieve her anger.
Although Su Zhen said something a little more hostile, he could understand it. It was reasonable to go out and beat people without taking action. "Zheng'er, come down, you can't fight. You'd better prepare quickly. Your brother-in-law has put all the carriage in and you have to go back to school in the academy."
"Ah~ I'll set out later, okay? I want to watch it for a while." I was always unwilling to see Mu Wanling being taken away.
"Then..." Su Hua turned his head and looked at Feng Jing who was holding the horse aside.
Feng Jing smiled in understanding at her, "Let him see, I can spend a while with you."
This person talks about his younger brother's affairs, so why did he involve her? She made her ears red.
"Madam Mu, what do you mean now? Manager Liu from your sugar factory left the village last night. Now you have to leave with someone. You are still the lady of the Mu family. How can you be so unfair to you?"
"You can't produce white sugar, and you don't want to fulfill your contract, so you want to run away?"
"Where do you think you can escape? Do you think you fled back to Nanxi County, with your county magistrate's husband protecting you, and we will be subdued by you and your husband when we go to ask you for debts?"
"You can no longer produce white sugar. The discount price mentioned in this contract that would not be achieved even if we were given three years. Then according to the second contract, all of them will be converted into silver and compensated us!"
"That's right, you'll lose money!"
"If you don't write the IOU, we won't let you go!"
Mu Wanling felt that she had lost face when she was surrounded by these businessmen to collect debts, but compared to them, the eyes of the country bumpkins in the outer circle watching the fun and contemptuous eyes made her even more angry. She raised her hand and pointed at the villagers, "What are you looking at? It's just a normal business dispute. Do you think hundreds of thousands of taels of silver are a big amount for me? Why do you laugh? You unsavvy rural villagers think that I can't even get one tael of silver like you?"
"Mrs. Mu is afraid it's not crazy. She owes debts, what does it have to do with us."
"That's right, we watched the fun and were scolded, but we didn't cheat her of the money."
"No, no, you haven't given us Mrs. Mu's salary this month!" The villagers working in the sugar factory heard this and squeezed in.
When the merchant saw that he was here to ask for wages, he also let the villagers get in.
"Hahaha, I owe all my 30-month salary for a month. I still say, "Bah!"
"This sugar factory is better managed by Su Hua. We will have a day or two off for five days of work, and there will be monthly vacations. After Mrs. Mu took over the sugar factory, she had to work every day. What do you think of us? We are not slaves who sell ourselves, we have to work every day."
"If you don't pay 30 ounces of wages, can you still pay hundreds of thousands of dollars in compensation?"
"Hey, she actually owes so much money!"
"I don't know what she did, but she could owe hundreds of thousands of dollars?"
The villagers' discussions made Mu Wanling blush. This was the first time she was asked for wages. Such a small amount of wages made her swallow it. These rural people had the nerve to chase after them for dozens of cents, but they had no knowledge!
When the wooden barrels in the sugar factory are ready, she will be surprised if she uses these people. She wants them to beg her to use them, but she doesn't want them anymore.
The angry and irritated Mu Wanling really wanted to not give her wages to let these poor people know that they were amazing, but they were afraid that they would not give her money, so they turned around and said to Mu Sheng, "I can't afford the dozens of documents. Mu Sheng, give them the money!"
Mu Sheng touched his body, took out the purse and handed it to Mu Wanling.
Mu Wanling threw the wallet to the villagers who took the lead in asking for wages, and said disdainfully as if they were giving alms to beggars, "Give it all to you, you can share it yourself. I won't want it."
The villagers don’t care what she said, but they just need to get the wages.
The villagers opened the wallet, but found that it was covered with copper plates. After counting, they only had 100 texts.
"Madam Mu, are you sending the beggar? We have thirty workers, you give us 100 words? Will each of us have three words?"
"What, only 100 texts?"
"Madam Mu, you have a lot of money. If you round up and donate us, you will only give us one or two taels of silver. You can't afford it?"
Mu Wanling looked at Mu Sheng with apology and said, "Money, I'll give you silver when I get home."
Mu Sheng said aggrievedly, "Madam, I only have that little money."
"I usually give you less rewards?"
"I saved other wages and prepared to marry a wife, so I didn't take care of her." Mu Sheng looked helplessly at Mu Wanling, who looked like she wanted to eat people.
"Madam Mu, if you don't give this wage, we won't let you go out. If you ask Mu Sheng to go back to Nanxi County, get the money and exchange it for you. We don't want the extra money, we just need our wages." The villagers who worked in the sugar factory united and surrounded Mu Wanling tighter.
"Give us wages!"
"We only need wages!"
"Unspoken boss, pay back my hard-earned money!"
Mu Wanling felt her face burning. She had never been treated like this since she was a child, but the situation was stronger than others. She could only ask for help from the guards around her. "You all took out your purse and raised enough wages to them. When you return to Nanxi County, I will give you ten times more money!"
The guards could only take out the money they had on them and handed it to Mu Sheng, who handed it over to the villagers.
The villagers got their wages and were satisfied. "Madam Mu, wouldn't it be better to give us our wages early? We don't want to make it so ugly."
"Madam Mu, wait until you pay off your debts, welcome to continue to come back and open a factory!"
"Madam Mu, we won't cause trouble for you, but you should give them the money of these merchants or write an IOU. You are rich, and you don't understand how anxious we, those of us who don't have money, are owed money."
"Yes, yes, we are anxious to get angry if we only have thirty cents of wages. If you owe these merchants hundreds of thousands, they are afraid that you will run away. If you don't write the IOU, you will not be able to walk on the road, and we will not be able to help you, so we can only give you a piece of advice."
Mu Wanling was so angry that she gritted her teeth. When will it be these lowly guys' turn to teach her a lesson?
