Chapter 441: Distributing Silver Money
"It looks great. Your craftsmanship has improved again."
This scarf looks different from the one they first knitted.
"Really!" Everyone was surprised.
"Ah."
Su Mu was considered their teacher, so he made a few comments and pointed out some areas of their progress.
In fact, they are all small details that you can’t really find if you don’t look carefully.
But it is these small details that are crucial. If the details are handled well, the scarf will feel like a higher level.
Several people were very excited when they were reviewed. The county lord praised them for their good knitting and their progress!
Su Mu had no way to comment on the others who were farther away, but as they listened to his words and compared them with the scarves they had knitted, they thought to themselves that they had indeed made progress.
"Sure enough, our efforts have not been in vain."
Because many people have learned to knit scarves, their pressure suddenly began to increase.
Originally, they were the only ones who knew how to knit scarves, and they became somewhat complacent after learning how to do it.
But when I saw that everyone else was learning how to knit scarves, and their techniques and skills were so good, I felt a deep sense of crisis.
Those people have just started learning how to knit scarves and they can do it so well. If they want to come here to work, it would be easy for them. This won't work.
This made them regain their somewhat slack spirits and work harder.
During the Chinese New Year period, they were not idle at home. When they had nothing to do, they continued to knit scarves. They knitted and knitted, and finally finished several scarves.
"County Lady, there are so many more scarves in the warehouse!" The wool they use to knit the scarves comes from the workshop, so the knitted scarves are also put into the warehouse.
"Oh? Didn't we just start work? Why are there so many scarves in the warehouse?"
Su Mu walked towards the warehouse.
They told Sumu that they were going home to continue knitting scarves.
Su Mu looked at them in surprise. Knitting scarves was their job, but who would continue to work overtime at home during holidays?
They really try so hard.
They followed Su Mu to the outside of the warehouse, chatting and laughing. Su Mu went in by himself and they did not follow him.
Entering the warehouse, Sumu saw the spectacular stock of scarves inside.
There are far more scarves here than the original number.
During this period of time, each of these people spent several days knitting, and since there were so many people, the total number of scarves made by all of them was truly spectacular.
Su Mu let out a long sigh. She had a great group of employees.
The next second Sumu called someone and asked her to distribute silver to these people according to the number of scarves each person knitted.
She couldn't take advantage of these people's labor for free and let their efforts go to waste.
The people outside saw that after the county lady went in, another person came in not long after. This person was the one who paid the wages every time.
They were confused. What was going on?
Su Mu came out of the warehouse and looked at the people below, and people were also looking at her.
Tell them the good news.
Upon hearing the news, the people below were stunned at first, and then began to cheer.
"The county lord is so kind!"
"Silver money is being distributed!"
"Another round of silver money!"
The people below cheered and patted each other on the shoulders.
Su Mu felt pain just watching this. This is what these people like to do when they get excited.
"County Lord, thank you very much." When people began to calm down, someone spoke.
"I really don't know how to thank you." Tears actually began to well up in the man's eyes.
Su Mu was a little flustered. This was not the case! She just gave them the money they deserved. She quickly comforted them.
"No, Lady, you don't know." The man cried.
"In the past few years, the Chinese New Year was the happiest time for other people, because we had meals that we couldn't have at other times, and we had time to have fun and have fun."
The person laughed helplessly, "But they don't know that the New Year is the most tiring time for me." Although she was also very happy, she could not erase her tiredness.
Su Mu paused as she was about to extend her hand to comfort her. She knew all this, so she said nothing and just sat down to listen to her words.
"We don't have much money at home, but we need to eat and wear good things during the New Year, as well as buy all kinds of New Year goods."
"Every time I desperately look in every store in Beijing, looking for the cheapest price."
She smiled bitterly, and sometimes even bargained with the boss for a long time just for a penny.
Rack your brains to save a penny.
She didn't want to do this, but a few cents was a considerable amount of money for them.
Sometimes, you would hear people commenting on her, calling her petty, a shrew, unreasonable, stingy, and so on.
She doesn't want to be like this! She doesn't want to be like this!
But people have to eat dumplings and wear new clothes during the Chinese New Year, and she also wants her children to have these things during the Chinese New Year.
For these she had to become this kind of person.
"After buying the cloth, I will go home and make the most of the time to sew new clothes." The family's clothes all depend on her hands to sew, and her eyes are almost exhausted from the work.
"I have to prepare steamed buns, dumplings and gifts for relatives during the Chinese New Year."
These are just a few of them. She is needed for all kinds of things, big and small. Others can only see her happiness during the New Year, but they don’t know the invisible efforts behind her.
When relatives came, she needed to entertain them. If someone stayed for dinner, she had to make the dishes as sumptuous and decent as possible using the limited ingredients available.
A good cook cannot cook without rice, she has it so hard.
The rest of the people left immediately after meal, but she still had to clean up the dishes and wash a bunch of things. The water was so cold in winter that people like them often got frostbite on their hands.
Every year, the frostbite that is so deep that the bone can be seen is terrifying. There is no medicine to apply, and medicine is the most expensive thing. Those frostbite can itch to the bone when exposed to heat, driving people crazy.
When the others heard her talk about these things, they also quieted down and listened quietly. Later, they gradually began to agree and talk about their own stories.
As they listened to these words, it was as if they saw their own previous lives.
From an innocent child, she gradually turned into a shrew in people's eyes and no longer looked like the person they were familiar with.
All the beautiful fantasies in their hearts were shattered one by one, and all that was left was to struggle to survive in the long river of life.
Su Mu listened quietly to their words, their conversations, and their past experiences with each other.
Everyone has a very difficult life, but it is even more difficult for them. People call them shrews only because they are trying to protect themselves. Otherwise, they would have been bullied beyond recognition in this society.
As for those comments about them, if you look closely, what are the things they bargained so hard to buy? They are things for their husbands, children and families.
And how much of it could they truly own? They were not even willing to buy themselves a piece of the cheapest cloth to make clothes.
