Rebirth of a Farmhouse with Space

Everyone was silent, and Zhao Yunchuan continued, "Daydreaming is not as good as you think!"

Li Dan said arrogantly, "I don't care. Village Chief, if you don't let Nanchen take me to get rich together, then I will go to his house to find him!"

Everyone agreed, "Yes, let's go too!"

"I see who among you dares to do this. You don't work hard, you don't want to take risks, and you still want pie to fall from the sky. You don't even go back and look at what kind of moral character you have become now. I'm putting it this way. If anyone doesn't want to stay in this village, go ahead and try!"

Seeing that the village chief was serious, the group of people became afraid again. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Wei family said, "Well, there is still a lot of work waiting for us to do at home, so we will go back first!"

Ma Damei pointed at the Wei family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law and cursed, "You are a useless family. I can't count on you when the real situation comes!"

The village chief slammed the table and said, "Ma Damei, you said you really don't want to stay in my village. Well, go back now and pack your things and leave. I will go to the county to remove your household registration!"

Every time Ma Damei caused trouble, the village chief would threaten to drive her out of the village, and then nothing happened. Ma Damei was just like the village chief who never took it seriously every time he threatened people with this. Today, Ma Damei didn't take it seriously either. She even said stubbornly, "Village chief, what did I do wrong? Did I say something wrong? You are biased towards the Nan family!"

"What did you do wrong? You spread rumors and gossips in the village, and you formed cliques and created oppositions. These few charges are enough for me to send you to the county government and put you in jail. Do you still think you did nothing wrong? Now I am only expelling you from the village as the head of the village, which is enough to do you justice! Come on, drag Ma Damei out!"

Seeing that the village chief was serious, Ma Damei panicked, "I...I, village chief, you can't do this, you can't do this to me, husband, husband, please talk to the village chief for me!"

Wang Ganlin had been squatting under the eaves outside the village committee office. He was too ashamed to see anyone. Ma Damei was not like this before. Ever since they came out to escape, their children were killed by bandits, and their money was robbed by bandits. Ma Damei seemed to have become a different person, speaking harshly and wishing that everyone would be unlucky.

She is not only mean to outsiders, but also to her husband Ma Damei. As a man, he has no status at home and is forced by his wife to be worse than a dog. She also doesn't give him face outside. Wang Ganlin has really had enough of this kind of life!

He slapped his thigh and made up his mind, then walked into the village committee office, "Village head, Ma Damei doesn't value her identity as a villager of Xiangyang Village. I do, but she is courting death, and I won't accompany her. Today, in front of you and everyone else, I am going to divorce Ma Damei. Whatever she does in the future will have nothing to do with me!"

As she said this, she took the banknotes from the village chief's desk and wrote a divorce letter on the spot.

Ma Damei pointed at Wang Ganlin in disbelief, "Husband, do you still have a conscience? I have been married to you for more than ten years, gave birth to two sons and a daughter, and served your parents-in-law. In what way have I committed seven offenses that you want to divorce me?"

"You haven't committed any of the seven grounds for divorce?" Wang Ganlin sneered. "You keep talking too much and spreading rumors. Let me ask you, since you settled down in Xiangyang Village, have you ever respected me as your husband? Forget it, I won't argue with you about those things. Take all the dowry money you hid. I don't want a penny. From now on, we will part ways and never see each other again!"

Ma Damei was scared and regretted it. She rushed over and hugged Wang Ganlin's legs, "Husband, I know I was wrong. I will change and I will never do this again!"

"You want to change? Humph, can you change? It is said that it is difficult to change a person's nature, so take this letter of divorce and leave Xiangyang Village. We will never meet again!"

"My husband, please don't chase me away. How can I go without you? In this way, I will give you all my dowry. My husband, can you forgive me this time?"

No matter how aggressive Ma Damei usually behaves, a man is a man. With just one effort, the woman will be thrown to the ground. Wang Ganlin usually endures it until she can no longer endure it. "I have made up my mind. It's useless for you to say anything now!"

Ma Damei, who was knocked to the ground, finally calmed down. She clenched the divorce letter tightly. She finally faced the reality that Wang Ganlin would no longer be soft-hearted towards her. All of this was her own fault. She stood up and walked out of the village committee office, disappearing from everyone's sight.

After such a commotion, everyone stopped making trouble and left.

Since that day, Ma Damei left Xiangyang Village. No one knew where she went, and Wang Ganlin did not look for her. Also since that day, all the good little women in the village have all behaved themselves a lot, especially the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Wei family, who seemed to have finally learned how to shut up!

On the other hand, Nanchen left the village committee office and actually asked people to recruit workers in the next village more than ten miles away. There were more than a hundred households in the next door Yangliu Village, all of whom were real locals. Their ancestors had made a living by farming and hunting for generations. They were poor, really poor. There was a grain tax of one hundred kilograms per person every year, and a single tax of one or two silver coins per person over the age of fifteen. They were under great pressure to breathe. Even if there were several laborers in the family who went to the county town to work, there would be nothing left after paying the head taxes, and those who earned more could only barely maintain family expenses.

Unlike Xiangyang Village, the village was newly built and the court gave it preferential treatment, exempting it from head tax for one year. During this year, the villagers only needed to make sure they had enough food and clothes, and they didn't have to worry about anything else!

It is hard to find work in the county town, mainly because there are too many people looking for work. When they learn that the newly built village next door is looking for workers, almost all the laborers in the village are eager to try. Someone asked, "Boss, how much do you pay per day?"

Nan Chen said, "Ninety cents a day, two meals a day, and accommodation is a temporary thatched hut! Those are the conditions."

Everyone was surprised. The salary for this job was much better than that in the county town, and it also included food and accommodation. If you didn't do such a job, you'd be a fool!

Everyone was so excited, but before they could get over their excitement, Nan Chen said, "I only hire people who are down-to-earth and willing to work, not those who are cunning and want to just get by."

"Of course. The boss has already offered such a high salary. If we still cheat and try to be cunning, how can we justify such a high salary!"

"Yes, yes, boss, don't worry, we will work hard!"

"Very good, then if anyone wants to work for me, please line up and sign up with me!"

After hearing this, everyone lined up to sign up at Nanchen. In half a day, Nanchen recruited 160 strong laborers. Many old men in their 50s also came to Nanchen to ask, "Boss, can you see if we can work for you? We don't want very high wages, just pay whatever you think is right!"

Nan Chen asked, "Do you know why I recruited these people? It's too tiring for you to handle."

The old men said, "Whatever you want to do, we can do it. We are still young and can do a lot of work!"
