, and all the families were delighted.Then, several more families sought out the Liu and Jia clans.The next morning, the marriage invitation was delivered to the Li family.Jia Yin added a few more nam...The stout woman was beaten and screamed, like a pig being slaughtered.

Tao Hongying showed no mercy to her subordinates, she really put in a lot of effort.

Fortunately, it was early spring now, and everyone wasn't dressed too thinly. The plump old woman even wore an inner garment plus an outer garment, layering two or three pieces.

But this is actually more beneficial to Tao Hongying, because the broom draws down without leaving a trace, but it hurts just as much.

Zhao Yuru, fearing a big commotion, finally stopped her younger sisters and advised, “Hongying ah, just teach them a lesson or two. People like this aren’t worth getting angry with.”

Tao Hongying then threw the broom and scolded, "Next time you try to be a rascal, remember to wipe your eyes clean! Don't even think about messing with our family! You won't get away with it!"

"Today, you're lucky I'm here. If my son's father was here, he would have grabbed you and slammed you against the wall, guaranteeing your brains would scatter like scrambled eggs!"

The stout woman cried and wailed, wanting to get up but feeling pain all over.

Tao Hongying then looked at the remaining three people, who immediately shrank their necks in fright.

The woman whispered, "We...we can't slack off anymore. We have to work hard!"

"No need!" Tao Hongying snorted coldly, "As long as you pay the wages, you can find good workers anywhere. What are you guys doing in the canteen Plotting and causing trouble behind my back"

"Get out of here! If you dare to show up in the cafeteria again, I'll break your legs!"

Three people heard this and their faces turned pale. They were finally truly panicked.

They can't afford to lose their jobs; they depend on this work to survive.

I got into the canteen thanks to a lot of favors.

However, the canteen hasn't had much business these past two years. Besides students buying buns and steamed bread in the morning, no one comes by at lunchtime or dinnertime.

This led them to develop a habit of being good-for-nothing, taking money without doing any work...

This time, the Li family took over the canteen. Hearing that they would be selling meals three times a day and serving the students' food and drink, their workload was definitely several times greater than before.

They all refused to work, but they wanted to use the excuse of needing a job to ask for a raise. So, after discussing it together, they came up with this strategy of dragging their feet.

Thinking that the Li family was unfamiliar with the canteen and would definitely be restrained by their powerful backers, he knew they wouldn't get away with anything.

They not only demand high wages, but also exploit their employers, so they can continue to live a life of luxury and idleness afterward.

It has to be said, the plan is good, and the idea is quite beautiful. Unfortunately, reality is cruel.

At this moment, the three of them regretted it deeply. They glanced at each other, then quickly knelt down.

The woman wished she could hold onto Tao Hongying's leg and plead, "Madam, please, spare us this time. We won't dare again! We promise to work hard from now on! I have a three-year-old child at home, and my husband drinks without working. If I lose my job, our family won't be able to make ends meet."

Then the two men bowed their heads. One of them said, “Madam, we were wrong. We didn’t mean to do this. It was those two women who instigated us!”

The stout woman struggled to get up. Seeing her comrades like this, she was still a little confused.

We agreed to fight side by side, but in the end, I became the target and you didn't even lend a hand. Not only did you not help, but you directly joined the enemy!

She couldn't help but yell, "Didn't we agree to stick together and deal with the new boss"

The two men were so angry they wanted to spit on her face. One of them yelled, “It’s all your fault, you stupid pig! You instigated us to cause trouble! You have the dean on your side, and we don't! If you want to make a scene, go ahead, but we're not going to participate anymore. We're going to focus on our work!”

Tao Hongying was too lazy to listen to their squabbling. She called Uncle Wu San for help, sent the dirty dishes and cutlery outside the front door, and then called these four people over to stand beside her.

The dining hall is close to the gentlemen's residences. Many of the gentlemen's wives and servants are moving about outside.

They were already curious about the bustle and activity in the dining hall, always eager to steal a glance whenever they had a chance. Now, with several workers being led out along with their basins, it was even more intriguing.

In a few moments, dozens of people gathered at the door.

Tao Hongying and Zhao Yuru stood on the steps. Tao Hongying secretly pushed Zhao Yuru.

Her meaning was very clear: she could help her out for a while, but after that Zhao Yurui would still have to run the canteen herself. She couldn't always hide behind her.

Zhao Yuru also understood this principle, so she took a deep breath, gathered her courage and said: "Brothers and sisters, we were entrusted by the director to reopen the dining hall. We have been cleaning and tidying up these days, making some new arrangements."

"I was originally thinking of keeping these few handymen, after all, they are more familiar with the cafeteria and I hoped they could help out. But unexpectedly, these people turned out to be lazy, only washing one basin of dishes in three days, and even doing such a poor job! It's simply outrageous!"

“From now on, when students come to eat, they will use these dishes. How can they possibly eat Even if they manage to eat, what if it spoils their stomachs It would surely hinder their studies! And yet, they still clamor for a raise in wages. They threaten that if we don't give them one, our canteen won't be able to operate!”

"Our academy is a place for teaching and nurturing, and the dining hall is where students can eat with peace of mind to study. These hooligans are simply intolerable! If we don't get rid of them, who knows what might happen What if they feel resentful one day and put something harmful in the food That would truly ruin our academy!"

The audience all nodded in agreement. They lived nearby and had seen what these people at the cafeteria were like on a daily basis. They weren't known for being hard-working.

Now that he can't bully his new employer anymore and got kicked out, it serves him right.

As Zhao Yu-ru said, if they resorted to underhanded tactics, the entire academy would suffer.

Someone shouted loudly, "Such a person shouldn't be kept."

Some people also laughed and said, "Before they took the money but didn't work, now they won't be able to take advantage of it!"

The four laborers' faces turned ashen. They thought that after being scolded by their new master, they would still be allowed to stay.

Although he got away with it, he still lost his job.

Especially the large, stout woman, she immediately went ballistic, jumping up and down while shouting: "You wait for me! I'm going to find the dean and get you all kicked out! If you guys are here, there's no place for me. And if I'm here, there's no place for you!"

Just then, Old Lady Li and Li Lao San came back.

Old Li didn't even pay attention to what her daughter-in-law said. She ignored the four laborers completely and instead told her son, "Don't bother with these dishes. They're so dirty that even if you boil them in hot water, they can't be used."

"If the kids get a stomachache, tell Lao San. Starting a business means having a fresh start, so we're getting new pots and pans!"

Zhao Yuru immediately replied, "Yes, mother. I was already thinking of getting new ones. But these old ones are just sitting here unused, it's a shame to waste them. Cleaning them up and keeping them as spares would be good too. Who would have thought they'd be dirtied even more"

Lao Li nodded and, with her son and daughter-in-law, turned to enter the courtyard.

The stout matron and three laborers were left standing there, utterly dumbfounded. They couldn't believe that things had ended just like that.

They were really driven out of the cafeteria, and there were no further problems. They didn't even get compensated for these few days' work pay...

The stout woman was enraged, she covered her face and ran away.

There's no need to guess, this is a complaint.

The other three also wanted to file a complaint and find someone to back them up, but they didn't dare.

Firstly, the Li family was too rigid and difficult to work with. They couldn't even find reliable people.

Secondly, they were simply in the wrong...

Now the only one we can depend on is the big, fat woman!ain before the emperor and the court.Then, when you put the good news leaflets and the armor exchange leaflets together, the Emperor will be delighted and might just approve it directly!Thinking this...
