The General's Little Peasant Wife

Chapter 766: Live On Somebody While Helping Others Secretly

Translator: Vesper

Yang Su Yun had not told Boss Lin about the Song family’s matter. She was still waiting, she was not sure whether the woman would cooperate with them. If they were willing to cooperate, then everyone would win. If not, then it would be disappointing.

After leaving work today, Yang Yi did not go home directly, but went to Ning Meng Yao’s house.

“Meng Yao, did something happen in the workshop?”

“Brother Yang, why do you ask?” Ning Meng Yao asked Yang Yi, somewhat surprised.

Yang Yi frowned: “There are many more people now, and the atmosphere is different.”

Ning Meng Yao could not help laughing: “Brother Yang, don’t worry, I just want to catch some troublemakers, the workshop will not be in this state for long.”

As soon as Yang Yi heard it, he immediately felt relieved, as long as everything was fine, but he still frowned and said, “Meng Yao, be careful of Chen Qi.”

Chen Qi? Wasn’t he one of those being monitored?

“Why?”

“I saw him talking to a stranger some time ago, and his expression was a bit strange. Not only that, he also handed over some things from the workshop to that person. I was busy so I forgot about it. But I remember about it after seeing Chen Qi today. “Yang Yi felt a little annoyed. How could he forget something so important? He was indeed useless.

Ning Meng Yao smiled coldly, and narrowed her eyes, what else did she fail to notice?

“Brother Yang, don’t worry. I will ask people to keep an eye on him.”

“Okay. Meng Yao, I’ll let you do your work, I shall go back first.”

“Okay.”

As she watched Yang Yi leave, Ning Meng Yao called Qing Xuan and asked her to investigate Chen Qi. Everything must be investigated.

She had not had their background investigated last time. Now it seemed that they had done some shameful things in the workshop.

The next day Qing Xuan came with what Ning Meng Yao asked for. Reading the documents, Ning Meng Yao smiled, but her smile made Qing Xuan subconsciously take a few steps back.

Ning Meng Yao held the pieces of paper in her hand, her expression was calm, but the anger hidden in her eyes showed that she was very furious.

This was just great. As one of the finance people in the workshop, that man actually laundered more than a thousand silvers. Ning Meng Yao would have just given this person a lesson if this amount was missing during other times. But not only did this person laundered her money, he even cooperated with others to steal more from her. The thought of this made her very angry.

“Miss...”

“I’m okay, help me keep an eye on that person.” She wanted to see how Chen Qi had the courage to do such a daring thing.

“Yes.”

Chen Qi came to Ning Meng Yao’s study room, trembling in fear: “Boss, you called me? Is there anything?”

Ning Meng Yao looked at this once very honest man, who was reassuring in his work. He had actually become like this now.

“Chen Qi, when did you start to work in the workshop?”

Chen Qi looked at Ning Meng Yao, somewhat stunned, he did not quite understand what she meant: “Miss, I...”

“Answer my question.”

Chen Qi’s body trembled and quickly replied: “Ever since this workshop was opened, I have been working ever since.”

“Really? Has it already been so long? Chen Qi, what do you think about the wage?”

The feeling Chen Qi felt became more and more wrong. His instinct told him that something was wrong, otherwise she would not have talked about this with him. He was just a small finance clerk after all.

“Very unique.” The wage here was based on a money per piece method, the more they worked, the more they earned. Other than the management and so on, who earned a monthly salary, the others were paid according to how much work they did. They might earn one or two silvers a day, and on days when they don’t earn much, it was at least eight or nine hundred wen.

Ning Meng Yao looked at Chen Qi and suddenly said: “I don’t understand why someone with such a high wage would still betray the workshop and help others secretly?”

Chen Qi’s expression changed. Although Ning Meng Yao did not point out a name, he was sure that Ning Meng Yao was talking about him.

“Why do you say that, Boss?” Chen Qi laughed dryly and stammered.

Ning Meng Yao sneered: “Chen Qi, you’re still not going to admit your doing?”
