The resentful best friend travels through daily life
Chapter 109: Prequel to Building the Wall
Most of those people had some injuries on their bodies.
Some villagers were slightly injured. Li Dazhuang was scratched on the face by one of them. He spat and said, "They fight like women. They only know how to scratch their faces."
There were also those with more serious injuries, such as Zhang Ergou, who didn't know how to rush forward when fighting with others, but only knew to hide. As a result, he accidentally tripped himself and fainted all of a sudden.
Fortunately, there is a food shortage now, otherwise these people would be covered in rotten vegetable leaves and rotten eggs.
After the village head came back, he called all the villagers together for a meeting.
"It's very chaotic now. I went to the town, but the government said they couldn't handle it. They asked every family to send someone to dump these people somewhere."
Li Dazhuang said: "What if they come back for revenge?"
Zhou Youcai snorted twice and said, "Still thinking about that group of people? These people are just minions. There are more powerful bandits. I think they should all run for their lives."
Li Dazhuang frowned and said, "Uncle Youcai, in today's world, there is no way to survive if you run away. We have more people, so I think we should stick together."
Zhou Youcai's son Zhou Zhu said, "You are talking lightly. In such a bad weather, we will have nothing to eat. You will give me food, right?"
The head of the village patted the table and said, "Stop quarreling. It's already this late."
Shen You was originally standing at the outermost edge, but kept squeezing in, with the blueprint in hand. After finally squeezing in the innermost edge, he said, "I have a solution."
When the village head saw that it was this little girl, his eyelids began to twitch and he said, "You..."
"I'm a girl, I don't know anything, right? I know what you're going to say. Okay, listen to me first. My family's factory has six acres of land. We can build a wall around the factory. If bandits come, we can hide inside. If there are old, weak, sick, disabled, or young people, they can live inside."
Shen You talked all the way through. Anyway, Ji Jinshu had just sent someone to tell her that things were not peaceful these days, so business matters should be put aside for the time being. The factory could not open for this period of time, so Zhou Ning and Zhou Wan went to arrange things at the factory.
"Are you serious? Then what about your family business?" Li Dazhuang asked.
Shen You said: "I will temporarily stop doing my family's business. Saving my life is the most important thing."
The two of them talked back and forth, neither of them taking the head of the village seriously.
The headman coughed twice, and when the two did not respond, he patted the table and said, "This matter involves everyone. It depends on whether everyone agrees or not."
After that, he looked at the villagers around him and asked, "What do you think?"
The villagers chattered.
The busy farming season is approaching, and although there is not much to do, I always feel that this is not very practical.
"Hey, my family still has land." someone said.
Shen You clapped his hands and said, "I forgot about this. My seeds are drought-resistant and have a high yield. If you have any idle land, you can come to me."
The Shen family planted all the land themselves this year, using seeds cultivated by Shen You and hiring those people who had originally rented the land from the Shen family. Now the seedlings are growing well, and with the Ji family's vigorous publicity, many villagers have gone to the Shen family to buy seeds, but there are also many who don't quite believe it, thinking that his family is crazy about making money.
Li Dazhuang didn't care about that. His family was frightened last night, and he didn't want them to suffer that again. He said to Shen You, "Uncle will work with you. We'll start when you say so."
Then a few more people signed up.
But there are only five or six of them in total.
The head of the village sneered and said, "You are just fooling around, letting a little girl like her talk nonsense."
Li Dazhuang couldn't stand his attitude of using chicken feathers as a token of authority, so he laughed even colder than the head of the village and said, "Hey, head of the village, didn't you beg me to help you drive away the thieves yesterday? How come you forgot in the blink of an eye?"
Li Dazhuang is a fierce man, because his father died early and his mother is a weak person, he cannot support the family without being fierce.
The headman's face turned red with anger, and Shen You's shoulders shook with laughter, but considering there were so many people around, he still tried to smooth things over, saying, "Da, haha, brother Dazhuang, hahahaha, stop talking hahahaha."
It would have been better if you hadn't said this, but after you said it everyone started laughing.
The head of the village lost all his dignity and said angrily, "Let's all go. I have nothing more to say. Let's all go, let's all listen to this little girl."
Shen You agreed and left, and before leaving, he called away those who had signed up.
The clan leaders and village chiefs of each tribe did not dare to speak from beginning to end, for fear of being accidentally involved in the quarrel.
Shen You asked them to go home and prepare, talk to their parents, and then he would take them to the workshop in the afternoon.
In the factory, Zhou Wan was keeping the accounts while Zhou Ning was distributing money to the female workers.
"What can we do now?" Cuihua said with a sad face.
Looking at them, Zhou Ning hesitated for a moment and said, "If I can open this factory again in the future, I will definitely look for aunts, sisters-in-law and sisters, but the current year is not good..."
Shen You came up at this time and whispered a few words to Zhou Ning.
The main reason was that when the village head held a meeting, few people were willing to come and help, while the young people from Shen Yi's side were willing to come, but they probably couldn't get rid of their families, and two-thirds of them said they couldn't come.
Zhou Ning looked at the female workers again and said, "Everyone, my family is going to build a wall around the factory. If bandits come one day, they will have a place to stay. I wonder if you are willing to help? If you don't want to, I won't force you."
Zhou Sanhua was the first to speak: "I am willing to help. I can't go anywhere anyway. Ning girl, just tell me if you have anything to ask."
"Okay, I can't bear to leave here anyway."
"Apart from anything else, my husband will definitely listen to me now. He won't disagree with me being here."
"I'll help too."
"I want to, too, but I have to go home and talk to my parents."
This factory has been built to this day, and in addition to various benefits, what is more important is that they are given enough status and respect here.
She is not a man who has the final say. She has learned some words and read some books. She is sensible and earns more than the whole family combined. She used to be called an illiterate old woman, but now everyone asks her when there is something going on at home.
If there are unmarried girls or young wives who are being bullied, Zhou Wan and Shen You will not stand idly by. If they meet those who are easy to talk to and negotiate with, even though they know they will be treated perfunctorily, they still go there every few days, which is of some use. If there are those who are difficult to talk to, they will either threaten those families by not allowing them to go to the factory, or teach these girls some tricks. In short, not being beaten or scolded is their bottom line.
This is the training of the factory: to reach the pinnacle of life.
