General, the lady escaped again

Chapter 841: Trouble (1)

"...We want to go back to the embroidery workshop." The girls didn't dare to look at Ji Xiaomu's expression, but they really wanted to go back to the embroidery workshop. Life at home was not easy. They had finally gained some status at home, and their parents, brothers and sisters-in-law all smiled at them. But since they returned home, their parents didn't understand why they were sent back, scolded them for being useless, and were even angry that they wasted rice eating at home.

"You want to go back to the embroidery workshop and use this method to force me to take you back?" Mother Ji sneered, looking at the girls with disappointment in her eyes.

"Boss, please let us come back! We will never do such a thing again. We will be good and embroider!" The girls begged Ji Xiaou. They really knew they were wrong.

"Since you don't understand why I fired them, let me tell you why!" Ji Xiao said to the girl's family. "Although your daughter didn't do anything serious to hurt anyone, they almost made me lose the reputation of Jinxiu Pavilion. Wang Guoer was bullied by them. Although it was just a small matter like hiding a needle, it seriously delayed her embroidery progress and she almost couldn't deliver the goods to the customer in time."

"That's right! There's no loss..." the woman said. "Since there's no loss, let them go back. You can scold them if you want. We have absolutely no objection."

"Do you think it's okay because there's no loss?" Ji Xiaowu looked at the woman. "You may not know why merchants value credibility, but let me tell you this! If you usually buy meat from Zhang San, and Zhang San sells you fresh meat every day, but one day Zhang San sells you overnight meat, after knowing this, will you still buy meat from Zhang San?"

"How can they be the same? I haven't bought it yet," the woman immediately argued.

"But it's the same for me. All the deadlines for embroidery in Jinxiu Pavilion are strictly regulated. As long as you embroider well and don't be lazy, you can meet the deadlines. You may even have extra time. The reason why Wang Guoer was able to catch up this time is because she sacrificed her sleep and rest time and rushed for several days to catch up." Ji Xiaomu said seriously.

"If the reputation of my Jinxiu Pavilion is lost because of them, how can they compensate me for my loss? With their two taels of silver wages?" Ji Xiaowu said calmly, "This is because I did not pursue their responsibility, but only terminated the contract with them. If I want to pursue compensation, can you afford it? That piece of embroidery is worth 150 taels, and if it is divided equally among them, each person will have more than 20 taels."

"Why should we pay compensation? Isn't it time for delivery?" The woman was frightened by Ba Liang and shouted angrily.

"Just because you speak louder doesn't mean you are right!" Ji Xiaowu frowned, looking at the women in front of her who all looked dissatisfied. "That's compensation for Wang Guoer. She sacrificed her own time to catch up. Even if she caught up and delivered the goods, doesn't that mean she doesn't have to pay for her losses?"

"You are blackmailing me!" a man said angrily.

"Blackmail?" Ji Xiaowu gave him a funny look and said, "I suggest you take a look at the commercial law! They caused the morale of my Jinxiu Pavilion to be demoralized. I was already showing leniency by just driving them away. Otherwise, I could have reported them to the authorities and let the adults sentence them. One hundred and fifty taels of embroidery is enough to make them do twenty years of hard labor!"
