In the room, Zhao Mengniang sat blankly, her tears were vaguely visible. She didn't expect things to turn out like this. No matter what she did next, it was irreversible.

Thinking about yourself and your mother, Zhao Mengniang felt sadness coming from her heart.

Her mother is her father's outer room. Her father is a businessman. Her family is elsewhere. When she is doing business every year, she will come to Poyang and stay for a while.

This period was her happiest day. The family of three was together, talking and laughing, and having fun.

The days passed like this, and suddenly, after the agreed date of reunion came, it was not Aye who came to the door, but a woman he had never seen before, and a group of thugs.

That woman was her legitimate mother, Aye's official wife, who brought her to the door to drive her and her mother out and take back her "family property".

Her Aye has passed away due to illness, and no one has sheltered her and her mother from the wind and rain.

Zhao Mengniang, who was desperate, was attracted by the Huang family's Sanlangjun. In order to survive and to repay her mother's grace, she could only accept her fate and be a concubine for her.

As a result, before I could be a concubine, I was arranged to do something.

Thinking of this, Zhao Mengniang's head was blank. She did not complete the things that the Huang Master told her, and Sanlangjun was caught by Li Li again. In this way, the fate of her mother and mother might not be good.

"Director Zhao..." A maid knocked outside the door. Zhao Mengniang wiped her tears and tried to make herself look normal. Then she responded, sorted out her dress, got up and opened the door.

As soon as the door opened, she was stunned.

But I saw my mother whom I had been thinking about day and night, standing behind the maid, looking at me with red eyes.

"mother!"

"Meng Niang!"

Zhao Mengniang cried and rushed forward, and the mother and daughter hugged each other and cried.

Zhao Mengniang cried so hard that she thought she would never see her again in this life, but she didn't expect...

Li Li was a little embarrassed when he saw the touching mother and daughter meeting each other, and seeing the maid being moved by her eyes, she was even more embarrassed.

Are you so moved? Why don’t I cry? Isn’t my heart too hard?

After the mother and daughter had enough cry, Li Li coughed dryly, and Zhao Mengniang, who was so confused about tears, came to her senses, wiped her tears, lowered her head, and came to Li Li.

"Thank you... Thank you, Lord..."

"You're welcome, your mother will stay in the venue in the future." Li Li smiled and reached forward, approaching Zhao Mengniang's face. Zhao Mengniang did not dodge, raised her head and looked at Li Li.

Li Li shaved Zhao Mengniang's nose and smiled and said, "It's the New Year soon. Do you like this New Year gift?"

Zhao Mengniang was stunned for a moment, holding back the tears of joy, and nodded vigorously: "Yes!"

Li Li asked again: "Then, you don't have any thank you?"

"Ah?" Zhao Mengniang was stunned at first, then panicked.

She really has no gifts to thank for. Although she has monthly wages and bonuses, she may not be favored by the man who is looking down on this amount of money.

The only valuable thing she is, the one that the man who likes is...

Thinking of this, Zhao Mengniang felt like a deer bumping into her heart, her cheeks were hot, and she was full of expectations, but she was afraid that the result was not what she thought.

Li Li was also a little embarrassed, but what he should say must be said, after all, everything is taken for granted: "You have to thank me, for example, for a lifetime."

Zhao Mengniang heard what Li Li said. As she expected, her face turned red instantly, red to the ears, lowered her head, and her voice seemed to be silent.

"Um..."

......

In the afternoon, the venue was noisy and the New Year was approaching. The owner of the venue, Li Li, set up a table in front of the playground, and distributed bonuses and New Year gifts to the teenagers of the gentry, employed workers (including slaves who work), the resident guards and the guests.

As the boss, Li Li must of course personally pay bonuses and gifts. This is a matter of principle. Even if he puts several partners in charge of various affairs on weekdays, he must come in person if it involves formal rewards and punishments.

Let everyone understand that the amount of the salary they receive and the amount of rewards they receive is determined by whom; let everyone understand that the punishment they receive is determined by whom.

In terms of ancient power struggles, this is: grace, power, reward and punishment are all based on the best.

If not, he cannot establish his absolute authority.

Li Li has done a lot of effort to do this. He recognizes all the people who want to receive the bonus and gift from him today. He knows the name and will never recognize the wrong person or the wrong name.

This is the most basic respect for others and the most cost-effective way to win people's hearts. It requires almost no cost.

For the teenagers who were queuing up to receive bonuses and gifts, Li Sanlang actually remembered his name and knew his situation at home, which made them very excited.

They came here to visit Li Sanlang's workshop, where they could not work, eat and live, and they could have enough fish balls.

I follow those coaches to shoot arrows and exercise every day, and I can go out to hunt and fish with the team, and I am very happy on weekdays.

Now that the Chinese New Year is coming, the teenagers are going home to reunite with their relatives. Li Sanlang also gave gifts, recognized everyone, and asked about the situation at home, which of course made everyone very excited.

There are many young people who think that eating, drinking and living are not good, so they have a job in the workplace, either loading and unloading, transporting goods, or working as a guardian, doing chores, relying on their own efforts to get wages decently.

Now, after taking the "year-end bonus" from the owner, the pride and joy are beyond words.

As for the employees (including slaves working in the workplace), they were even more excited because according to the system, employees who performed well would receive various bonuses.

Even people with ordinary performance can receive nearly 2,000 'year-end bonus'.

Wu Xiang and Liang Sen were on the side, watching everyone laughing and cheering, and watching Li Li speak so hard that his throat was hoarse, and he was also very excited.

According to Li Li, this is a "team". If the members of the team are full of fighting spirit, it means that the team is full of vitality and has great potential.

Seeing that there was no one around, Wu Xiang and Liang Sen whispered. According to Li Li's plan, the situation will change significantly by March and April next year, and then they will have great potential.

"The team has seen blood several times, and now everyone is not afraid anymore, just waiting to show their skills." Liang Sen said excitedly, but Wu Xiang hesitated a little.

"Gray Duck, will the thing that Cun Feng said really make people lose their heads by then?"

Liang Sen immediately replied: "Cunshi said it would work, then it would work!"

"I know, I just can't figure it out. That thing has just changed its color. How can it be...it's obviously something that can be seen everywhere..."

Wu Xiang always remembered what Li Li said, "know what is happening, know why it is happening." So every time Li Li arranges something, he must carefully think about it and figure out the meaning behind it.

He had to continue to study and summarize, and keep up with Li Li's pace, but Wu Xiang really couldn't figure out the "strategy" that Li Li set this time.

Fortunately, the final decision will be announced in March and April of the coming year. At that time, he will have to observe it carefully.

If Li Li said at that time, that thing will inevitably cause many people to steal the heads. In this way, the situation in Pengli Lake will become more interesting.

Shanhuren Village, which has been tossed very hard, is probably going to turn red when smelling the smell of that thing.

The bonus was paid and the gift was over. Li Li, who had a hoarse throat, drank tea to moisten his throat, and announced in public that the "dinner began", that is, everyone had the New Year's Eve dinner together in advance.

Jia Cheng, who was in charge of the workplace affairs, then added: "Today is also a happy day. Li Lang wants to take Miss Zhao as his concubine!"

Mrs. Zhao was Director Zhao at the stage. After hearing this, everyone cheered in unison, "Congratulations to Li Lang!"

The cheers came to a small courtyard, and Zhao Mengniang, who was dressing in front of the mirror. After hearing this, she saw the maids looking at her enviously, and then saw her smilingly helping her prepare items for her, very shy.

Taking a concubine cannot be as formal as marrying a wife, but Li Li still made a big arrangement. Tonight will be her lifelong event.

......

In the early morning, it was drizzling. In the dormitory, several female workers were gathering together to chat. The voices were sometimes high and sometimes low, and there was also a little laugh, like a few sparrows chirping.

Now it is the New Year holiday, and everyone does not need to go to work. Therefore, many people sleep in all day long, go out for a walk with their companions, or chat in the dormitory.

A few female workers talked about but the topic was a bit heavy: Recently, Mrs. Zhao was played by the man every night.

Director Zhao, who everyone respects, is already the concubine of the man. This is before the Chinese New Year.

So since that day, during non-working hours, employees have called Director Zhao "Nam Zhao".

Of course, Miss Zhao spent the night in Langzhu’s room every night.

But for some reason, he made the man angry every night and lived a miserable life.

"I was on duty that morning. As soon as I sat outside the door of Langzhu's room, I heard Langzhu's beating Mrs. Zhao!" A female worker whispered, looking terrified.

"I know too... I heard from Xiao Wang that Mrs. Zhao was so pitiful. At night, she was beaten by Lang. She kept shouting, but she couldn't shout loudly, and didn't know what she had done wrong."

"It was not until the early morning that it calmed down. In the morning, Miss Zhao couldn't even get up. Xiao Wang said that she looked carefully and did not find that the lady's face was swollen or her hands and feet were bruised. I thought it was a hit on her body, alas..."

Another female worker whispered, and the others frowned, wondering why Lang mainly beat Miss Zhao.

The man has always had a good temper, so why did he get angry with Miss Zhao? If he says he is angry, then what else can he ask Miss Zhao to serve every night?

I don’t know what Miss Zhao did wrong. I was beaten every night. The maid who was waiting outside the room was heard by the female worker on the rotating side and felt deeply distressed by Mrs. Zhao’s experience.

Female workers are basically less than fifteen years old. For various reasons, they sell themselves as slaves, and then come here and become female workers or maids.

In the workshop, most of the female workers are peers, and there are not many older ones, so there is no ‘experienced’ to answer questions and answer questions.

They don’t understand many things, such as how a woman should serve the prince after becoming a concubine, can only guess.

At present, Director Zhao became a concubine and became Miss Zhao, and was always beaten by a man. This incident always makes people feel very strange.

The little girls couldn't figure it out, and as they talked, the topic turned elsewhere: "I heard that if it doesn't rain the next day, we can go out on a boat and have a picnic on the island!"

"Really? Then, will the male workers go there too?"

"Go, everyone goes together, it's a spring outing, and you have to do activities, it's just a friendship..."

"That's great. I really hope it won't rain in the future."

The female workers were talking, and when they thought of traveling with male workers of similar age, they were happy and had different emotions, which sprouted in their hearts.

Every time they have a party or friendship with the male workers, they always have some strange feelings, and the other party’s eyes seem to be filled with fire.

This feeling makes people feel scared and expectant, so whether male or female workers, they look forward to every party, friendship, sitting with him/her.

In the workshop, there are good sisters, good partners, three meals a day, and comfortable accommodation. Many people have chosen to forget the pain of the past and integrate into this big family.

"By the way, I heard that there will be a bonfire party in a few days. At that time, each dormitory will have a show. Even if it is not ranked first, there will be gifts."

"Really? What kind of gift is it?"

"The first place is that each person gets a bronze mirror!"

"Wow! I want a bronze mirror!"

"Other gifts, like there are meal vouchers, one can get a portion of quino!"

"Wow, this gift is so good!"
Chapter completed!
