Chapter 840 Meeting (2)
"You can live here if you want!" Duan Yue said with a smile, "Are you still afraid that Li Hong won't let you live here?"
"I want to live with him." Si Jing smiled. Although she said so, she knew it was impossible. "Just like an ordinary couple."
"I will." Ji Xiaomu patted Si Jing comfortingly. Si Jing chuckled and changed the topic to talk to everyone else.
Just when everyone was chatting happily, there was a noise outside the embroidery workshop. Everyone frowned and looked outside the door. Ji Xiaou heard words like "unscrupulous", "boss", "cheating", etc., and she and Duan Yue looked at each other.
"Si Jing, you, Wanqing and Xiaoxiao, don't come out here!" Ji Xiaomu said to the three of them. Wanqing and Xiaoxiao were both pregnant, and they were afraid that if there was a conflict, they would get hurt.
"Sister-in-law, you have to be careful too." Lin Wanqing also knew that she could not help now, so she pulled Si Jing and Xiao Xiao to sit down and not cause trouble.
Ji Xiaowu nodded and walked out with Duan Yue.
A group of people outside were knocking on the door of the embroidery workshop, shouting for the boss to come out.
Duan Yue went forward and opened the door. Ji Xiaomu stood at the door and looked at the troublemakers with an expressionless face.
Seeing some of the girls lowering their heads and not daring to look at her, Ji Xiaomu glanced coldly at their families. "Are you planning to cause trouble in my embroidery workshop? Do you know how long you will be imprisoned if you report it to the police? Do you want me to tell you?"
"Don't scare us by saying you will report us to the police. You must give us an explanation today! You said nice things at that time and asked us to send our daughter to you to learn embroidery and then give us two taels of silver every month. Now, such a short time has passed and you have fired my daughter. Why?" A woman put her hands on her waist and demanded an explanation from Ji Xiaowu.
Ji Xiaowu did not rush to answer, but looked at the people in front of her who came to seek justice. When her eyes swept over the girls who bowed their heads, they fixed on them. "Didn't they tell you why I fired them? Didn't they tell you what trouble they got into?"
"Aren't they just some trivial matters? Can't you just say a few words to them? They are young and ignorant. Sending them back just for such trivial matters is too much, isn't it?" Another woman heard what her daughter said. They were all trivial matters, even insignificant.
But because of these little things, their daughter's good livelihood was gone. The family's situation had improved a lot because of the money her daughter earned, but now her daughter was sent back home. They really couldn't understand or let it go.
Two taels of silver a month means twenty-four taels a year. With this money, it will be no problem for his son to get married, and he can even afford to eat meat at home.
After just a few days of these good days, they were back to square one. No one could bear this gap.
What's more, it was just because of some trivial matters. I just hid the needle. It didn't hurt anyone and it didn't delay my embroidery. Why should it be returned so seriously?
"You must give us an explanation today, otherwise we will let everyone know about this and let everyone judge for themselves!" The women became more and more excited as they spoke, and the men stood aside, staring at Ji Xiaomu unkindly, as if they would not be able to get over this matter today if they did not give them an explanation!
"You all think it's a small matter, right?" Ji Xiaowu looked at the girls and asked them to speak for themselves. "Speak up, you are not dumb! Your family has come to me to ask for an explanation, so just speak out your thoughts."
