“Bang—”
Lin Siyu was hit to the ground by Zhang Jing. Warm liquid instantly flowed out of her nostrils.
Zhang Jing pointed at Lin Siyu and said fiercely, “Don’t force us to do this the hard way! Do you think anyone will believe you if you say it? Without Factory Manager Zhao’s permission, would I dare to file a patent?”
“Let me tell you honestly! I gave most of the silver from the patent award to Factory Manager Zhao. Do you think he will help you testify? The blueprint was drawn for you! ”
“Behave yourself and accept the 50 taels of silver. Then, keep your mouth shut. Otherwise, you won’t be able to get a single cent. Your son is working in the quarry, right? My brother happens to be there too. I don’t know if any accident will happen to him!’
Lin Siyu did not believe that Zhao Sheng was such a person, but Zhang Jing was firm. She cried and said, “You’re not human!”
She was really afraid that Zhao Sheng was indeed such a person. If the matter blew up, no one would believe her and she would even implicate her son.
Lin Siyu regretted it. If she had known, she would have found someone to come to the workshop with her. Unfortunately, there was no one to testify.
Seeing that Lin Siyu was stunned, Zhang Jing gave Jin Linglong another look.
Jin Linglong hurriedly played the good cop. “Sister, 50 taels of silver is not a small amount. Take it well. You might be able to redeem yourself one day!” “The remaining silver can still be used to find a wife for your son!”
“We’re not evil people. In the future, we’ll give you another ten taels of silver every year. How about this?”
Lin Siyu spat on Jin Linglong’s face. “Pfft! Shameless! You really think someone else’s things belong to you!”
Jin Linglong wiped her face angrily and raised her hand to slap Lin Siyu.
The voices of the other workers came from outside the door. Jin Linglong immediately stopped and stuffed the silver into her arms.
Lin Siyu didn’t want to take it, but she didn’t want to give it to her either!
Lin Siyu stood up. Zhang Jing looked vigilant and warned again, “Behave yourself! ”
The worker opened the door and muttered, “Why are you guys dawdling here?”
Zhang Jing brushed them off. Lin Siyu glared at them angrily and left the workshop.
Jin Linglong immediately heaved a sigh of relief and secretly praised Zhang Jing for being smart and putting the blame on Zhao Sheng. No matter how angry Lin Siyu was, she did not dare to offend the people around Bai Wutong.
They did not spend a single cent and earned a patent for nothing. The couple was overjoyed. They turned around and resigned from their jobs. They even planned to buy a homestead later and build a house as grand as Bai Wutong’s house in the future.
Lin Siyu went to work distractedly until she got off work and met her son.
When Jiang Zuowei saw the wound on his mother’s face, he immediately asked worriedly, “What’s wrong with Mother? Did someone bully you?”
Because of their status as servants, they would always be bullied. Jiang Zuowei was used to it, but he could not stand his mother being bullied like this.
Lin Siyu originally wanted to wait for the weaving machine to be successfully built before telling her son the good news.
Now she was just glad that she had not told her son in the first place so that he would not be disappointed.
She wiped her tears and shook her head. “Mother is fine. Mother just fell today and my head hurts a little.’
Jiang Zuowei heaved a sigh of relief and handed her a few lychees that he had picked on the way back. “Mother, eat them. These fruits are quite sweet.”
Her son was so sensible. His peers at his age were still studying in the academy. While Lin Siyu was sad, she thought of the blueprint for the textile machine that she had drawn herself. A bold thought suddenly surged into her mind.
This time, she would definitely not let others claim all the benefits!
While Lin Siyu was focused on coming up with a new design, Jin Linglong and her husband had also secretly observed her for a few days.
Realizing that she had no intention of causing trouble, they completely let themselves go unrestrained and spent money everywhere, shocking everyone they knew.
How did they suddenly become rich?
Just as everyone was puzzled, Lin Siyu thought about it and finally told her husband, Jiang Cong.
Jiang Cong was furious and wanted to settle the score with Zhao Sheng, but he was stopped by Lin Siyu and sge told him the plan.
Jiang Cong worked as a level-2 apprentice in the iron factory. He knew many capable blacksmiths and learned many skills.
Lin Siyu asked Jiang Cong to think of a way to make a textile machine. Jiang
Cong looked at the blueprint and promised, “Leave it to me!”
If his wife’s textile machine could succeed, not only would their family be able to get rid of their slave status, but he would also be able to become an official worker in the iron factory.
Although the structure of the textile machine was not particularly complicated, there were actually more than 100 parts to be made.
After work, Jiang Cong secretly used the machine tools in the factory to hammer. Afraid that others would misunderstand, he even specially told the class monitor that he had bought the iron and coal himself.
The class monitor knew that he was talented, so he didn’t say anything. He just told him not to be too tired.
Jiang Cong was very touched. He would also seek guidance from the class monitor and other outstanding craftsmen about the gears and chains that he could not produce from the blueprint.
In the past, the skills for earning a living were not allowed to be taught to outsiders. However, Bai Wutong led everyone to open a male and female technical academy. Many of them became teachers of the academy. They had monthly salary and were respected. They no longer disliked teaching others skills.
Jiang Cong’s learning ability was very strong, and his forging skills had improved by leaps and bounds. He had quietly created a textile machine himself.
In the middle of the night, when the last part was pieced together, Jiang Cong picked up the textile machine and ran quickly to his family’s tent. As soon as he entered, Lin Siyu was excited. “It’s completed so quickly?”
The time taken for Jiang Cong to make the textile machine was too unexpectedly short. She thought that it would take a long time.
Jiang Cong smiled foolishly. “l am hurrying so that our son can also go to school and live in a big house.”
For a moment, Lin Siyu had mixed feelings. Her hands were trembling as she sat on the wooden table and stroked the textile machine.
A complete piece of fabric was placed under the textile machine. Both of them held their breaths and stared.
Success or failure depended on this. They had to succeed!
Lin Siyu stepped on the pedal and turned her hands. There was a mechanical sound. The moment the fabric was pushed forward, it was neatly cut in half by the blade!
In an instant, the air froze!
Lin Siyu and Jiang Cong looked at each other, their eyes red.
The textile machine had a cutting function, and they did it!
Lin Siyu continued to experiment with the second function of the textile machine. She imported the thread into the textile machine and pressed it against the freshly cut fabric.
“Deng deng deng..
The sharp needles on the textile machine went up and down. Lin Siyu kept pushing forward, and the machine sewed the fabric tightly.
Lin Siyu covered her mouth excitedly, afraid that she would jump up and wake everyone around her.
Jiang Cong took a while to recover before saying in a choked voice, “Wife, our son can go to school!’
It had really not been easy. He had not slept for almost a month.
Lin Siyu nodded, with indescribable emotions, and restrained her excitement. She tried the textile machine again and again.
After calming down, she realized that the needle and thread were easily messed up when operating the textile machine. Moreover, the needle and thread were even more tangled when finishing.
Moreover, there was only one sewing method that did not correspond to the various craft needs of the textile factory and needed to be improved.
The couple thought of a way to adjust the textile machine with tools overnight..
