Some people are just lazy and greedy. They would be leeching off the business if he really hired them to work at the workshop.
But some of these people were closely related to Niu Tongsheng, making it difficult for him to reject them directly. Now that Xie Heng and Zhao Chuchu were back, he could tell them who could and shouldn't be hired. Once Xie Heng and Zhao Chuchu decided, no one would dare to say anything.
Niu Tongsheng truly wished that the workshop would operate well because it would uplift the lives of everyone.
Everyone in the village was scared of living in poverty, where they didn't have enough food and clothes. Now that they had the chance to escape poverty, Niu Tongsheng didn't want those people to ruin their hope.
Most importantly, some of these people had bad characters. If they stole the recipe for the tofu skins and sold it to outsiders, the workshop might have to close down!
