Chapter 175 175: Hold it in if you are dissatisfied (1st update)

Seeing Xie Jin's pursed lips with a displeased look on his face, Chang Xi laughed heartlessly, then passed him and walked straight forward, finally taking a breath for the injustice he suffered that day.

She said that not for the stupid He, but for herself.

To this day, she still remembers how Xie Jin ignored her when she first entered the Jie Mansion, and how he was the bystander when Mr. Jie Si made murderous intentions that day. She has no other good qualities except that she loves to hold grudges.

"What do you mean by that?" Xie Jin caught up and asked.

Chang Xi smiled softly, "Master Jie Jiu, you can understand it however you like."

Xie Jin saw her smiling so ruthlessly, instead of getting angry, he smiled and said, "Are you kidding me?"

"Ah, really? It's okay if you understand it that way." She spread her hands.

Faced with such an unreasonable person, he would have thrown away his sleeves and left long ago, but now he is trying hard to know her thoughts. Xie Jin couldn't help but smile bitterly, it was really a turn of events.

Chang Xi has a hard heart and rarely feels empathy for other people's pain. In her previous life, some people said she lacked empathy.

Well, no matter what she lacks, she will never waver in what she insists on.

The subsequent investigation of Shi Bichi progressed very quickly. It didn't take long for Zhou Nan to find the witness that Shi Bichi poisoned the Shi family. In addition, even the cause of death of the third Ninth Young Lady Zou was also found out.

Shi Bichi’s handwriting is indispensable.

Chang Xi looked through it and couldn't help but be amazed. Shi Bichi really had a thousand ways to harm people. If she wasn't someone who wasn't easy to bully and had a hard heart, she might have fallen into her trap.

"Get ready, let's go to Shi Mansion." Xie Jin ordered.

No matter what, he still had to go to the Shi Mansion to settle the matter, just to give an explanation to Mr. Shi.

"Am I going too?" Chang Xi pointed to herself. She really didn't want to go or get involved in such a thing, "Why should I go? Whether it's the Shi family, the He family, or the Zou family, what do you have to do with me?

Relationship? How about that, Mr. Xie Jiu, you can just go. I haven’t been to the workshop for a few days, so I just took this opportunity to go and have a look..."

Anyway, she had a very good reason not to go.

Helpless, Xie Jin didn't buy it, "You go too."

Chang Xi frowned and wanted to fight, but what she saw was Jie Jin's eyes that refused to refuse. She immediately understood that the matter was a foregone conclusion, so she knew the situation and stopped fighting, and went directly to let Dongli and Yunduo pack their things.

Then take Dongli out.

This time it was not just the two of them who went to the Shi family, but also the two sisters-in-law, Qin and Qian.

Looking at this lineup, Chang Xi felt that Shi Bichi was doomed now.

The Shi family is in a city near Yiyang City, and a trip there takes about a day and a half.

This was Chang Xi's first time leaving Yiyang City. Of course, the carriage also passed by the location of her tea brick workshop. Through the carriage window, she saw a steady stream of villagers going to work or finishing work.

There are men and women here, but the men and women do not mix together. Instead, they walk together, talking and laughing as they walk. It can be seen that they are in high spirits, and because of the improvement of the food in the workshop, everyone looks good.

They don't even look like mud-legged people.

Chang Xi felt relieved now. It seemed that everything was running normally in the tea brick workshop, and there was not much adulteration in the news sent back by either Xie Ming or Xiao Tao.

Xie Jin had seen such a situation many times while living in other courtyards, so he wouldn't find it strange. The change in the mental outlook of these villagers that made him take a closer look was something he had never seen before. It seemed that they were very concerned about their lives.

Very satisfied.

This made him think deeply, and then he looked at Chang Xi, who was looking out the window sideways. The changes in these people were all brought about by her.

It is not that there are no workshops in Yiyang City, but those who work in the workshops do not have such a mental attitude. It is not necessarily true that Chang Xi pays a high salary. The wages she gives can only be said to be slightly high.

She is by no means outstanding, but she can make this group of people show their greatest enthusiasm.

"How did you do it?"

Hearing Xie Jin's question, Chang Xi looked back at him and replied directly, "Treat them as human beings."

Although she needs them to generate surplus value, she must treat people as human beings in the process, give them reasonable remuneration, and let them eat well, so that they can feel satisfied. Of course, the pursuit of people is one step.

One step at a time, but you have to do it slowly.

Xie Jin chewed on her words and slowly tasted the different flavors.

Chang Xi did not disturb Xie Jin's contemplation, but made plans for the next step in her heart. She still didn't want a bunch of illiterates. Next, she should find a male and female gentleman to teach them how to read. If they are talented, they can

With a little cultivation, this will be a reserve force for the future, which can inject a boost into the reform of the textile industry.

After she had an idea in mind, she directly asked Dong Li to come in to sharpen the ink and start writing the plan.

The tea brick workshop has begun to make a profit, and textile machine reform should also be put on the agenda. This is the real industry that is making money every day.

Xie Jin watched her writing non-stop. At this time, the sun shone in, making her white skin transparent. The breeze blew through her hair, making her whole person exude a charming charm.

If he knew that there was a saying in later generations that people at work are the most charming, he would know why he was looking at him intently at this moment.

Qin and Qian in the other carriage looked at the male and female villagers coming and going, and they both frowned subconsciously.

"This is so outrageous, it's simply offensive," Qian criticized.

Although Qin didn't say anything, her feelings were similar.

The two people who were at odds with each other along the way came to an agreement on this matter, and finally asked the maid to close the curtains of the car, out of sight but out of mind.

Staying in the inn at night, Qin wanted to open a high-end room for Xie Jin and Chang Xi, but Xie Jin directly asked for two rooms, and then took Zhou Nan directly into one of them, while Chang Xi took Dong Li

Entering another room, she frowned.

"Fourth brother and sister, I don't think these two have accomplished anything good yet." Qian said calmly and quietly.

Mrs. Qin sneered, "Second sister-in-law wants to worry about my house, so she might as well think more about how to win back my second uncle's heart."

When the matter of the husband and wife's quarrel was mentioned, Ms. Qian remained silent. Thinking of Ms. Qin seeing such excitement that day, she felt unhappy.

Mrs. Qin was so speechless that Mrs. Qian was speechless, then she snorted and took the maid directly to the room to rest.

"What are you pulling for?" Qian muttered.

She still regrets that day when she finally couldn't bear the pressure and told everything. She should not have told everything impulsively at that time, otherwise she would not be in a disadvantaged position.

In this inn, I didn't sleep well. When I got on the carriage the next day, Chang Xi leaned against the wall of the carriage to catch up on some sleep, and finally fell asleep without knowing it.

Xie Jin watched her head moving little by little, and from time to time it would hit the wall of the carriage. Although the wall of the carriage was covered with soft cloth, it was still a bit hard when bumped against it, so he reached out and put her head on his shoulder, like this

It will be more comfortable to sleep.

Dongli, who was worried about Chang Xi, turned around and looked inside through the car curtain, and happened to see this scene. She was so surprised that she couldn't open her mouth from ear to ear. She rubbed her eyes. The previous scene had not disappeared, but she accidentally touched it.

Jie Jin's cold eyes made her look away in fright, turned around and sat down on the car's shaft outside, not daring to peek anymore.

Zhou Nan, who was driving a carriage nearby, saw this and whispered, "Close your mouth, or you will swallow all the dust."

Only then did Dongli realize that he had done something stupid, and quickly shut his mouth and sat down.

However, her desire for gossip was not extinguished in the end. She still carefully approached Zhou Nan and said at a volume that could only be heard by the two of them, "Does Master Jiu have a crush on our Lady Chang?"

Zhou Nan glanced at her. He didn't expect Dongli, who was usually serious and steady, to ask such a question. He was surprised but also understood that it was human nature to like gossip.

"You have eyes and you can't see by yourself?"

Hearing this answer, Dong Li felt that he was stupid for asking him this question, so he stopped talking to Zhou Nan and looked aside.

Hey, this woman.

Zhou Nan, who was ignored, felt that this woman was really looking forward to using people and not looking after people, just like Mrs. Chang who she served.

Before evening arrived, the carriage arrived at Shi Mansion.

Because someone had been sent to hand over the post before, when the gatekeeper saw that it was the carriage belonging to the Jie family, he immediately opened the gate and let it pass, giving the Jie family face.

Then Mr. Shi Liu and his wife Cai Shi were waiting in front of the screen wall. Their low posture made Mrs. Qin and Mrs. Qian see it, and their dissatisfaction was slightly relieved.

Mrs. Cai stepped forward to greet Mrs. Qin and Mrs. Qian, while Mr. Shi Liu went to greet Mr. Xie Jin. When he saw him getting off the carriage, he did not show off as a father-in-law, but stepped forward with a smile and said hello. Xie Jin replied casually,

Then he turned around and reached into the carriage.

Looking at the big hand stretched out in front of her, Chang Xi thought for a moment, then generously stretched out her hand to hold his, and let him help her get out of the carriage.

This was at the Shi's house, so the way she got off the carriage was very elegant, and she didn't look vulgar at all.

Master Shi Liu stared at Chang Xi. When he first saw her beautiful and outstanding face, a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes. With such a beauty, it is no wonder that Jie Jin would sink, and in

There was an intimate scene in front of him.

But soon his expression returned to normal, and even contained a hint of displeasure, dissatisfied with Chang Xi's bird occupying the dove's nest.

But when Xie Jin introduced Chang Xi to him, he hid his displeasure and nodded to Chang Xi.

Ms. Cai, who was standing not far away, had already seen this scene next to her. At this time, she couldn't help but pursed her lips and held the handkerchief tightly. Xie Jin was going too far to bully others. He brought such a woman to the Shi family.

This is not only disrespectful of the Shi family, but also disrespectful of the Shi family.

Qin could see that Cai was dissatisfied, but so what?

She suppressed her dissatisfaction. She didn't blame the Shi family for raising a poisonous woman like Shi Bichi to ruin her son's reputation.

"My mother-in-law, this is Mrs. Chang that the master mentioned. She is as beautiful and talented as any other lady, right? I think she is a good match for our brother Jin, what do you think?"
