Village committee.

Huo Jue walked into the house and saw the captain sitting there. He walked over quickly and said, "Captain."

"Huo Jue is here."

The captain waved at him and said with a smile: "Come here, let's talk."

He sat down opposite the captain, his eyes filled with confusion: "Do you have something to talk to me about?"

"You did a great job controlling the flood in the river this time, Huo Jue. I see that you act with reason and logic. I called you here this time because I have something to ask you."

Huo Jue nodded: "You go ahead."

He waited patiently for the captain to speak.

"It's like this. We don't have many industries in our village, and our income and expenditure all depend on these few things. Now the wheat seeds have been planted, and we have a vegetable business with a state-owned restaurant. The only thing left is the brick kiln factory."

"I want to ask, what do you think about this brick kiln factory?"

Huo Jue didn't expect the captain to put such an important matter on his shoulders: "Captain, do you want to restart the brick kiln?"

The team leader nodded. He also knew that the brick kiln factory stopped production because something happened.

But it’s been so long since this happened, can’t we resume production?

Huo Jue's mind raced. Looking at the captain's determined expression, he pondered for a moment before speaking, "Can you tell me about the specific plan?"

"You've heard about what happened at that brick kiln. We closed it down for the sake of the victims, but now so much time has passed, and our brigade is the worst off financially among the nearby villages!"

The captain took a few puffs from his pipe and said, "Huo Jue, everyone in the village will grow old, and the young will grow up. We can't just stay the same, right?"

"We have to consider the younger generation and make money for their education!"

Huo Jue couldn't help but feel a stir in his heart. He didn't deny what the captain said. Seeing this, Huo Jue nodded calmly: "You are right."

He really needs to think carefully about his future.

Seeing Huo Jue's willingness, the captain finally relaxed his anxiety: "It seems you are still willing to listen to me!"

"Huo Jue, the brick kiln needs male workers to start operating. We have enough people in our village, but we still need to think carefully about where to sell the bricks produced."

"And I've also seen your ability. When the time comes, the brick kiln factory will be handed over to you to manage."

Huo Jue looked at the captain, his eyes full of anticipation for the future. "Captain, if you think highly of me, I'm willing to help. We really need to boost the economy of our village."

"Good boy, I knew I wasn't wrong about you!"

The captain patted his shoulder and looked at Huo Jue with a smile: "Then I won't say anything empty. If we want to open the brick kiln, we must first do the work of the old Wang family."

"Huo Jue, I leave this matter to you!"

Huo Jue nodded, and the captain put aside what was in his mind and said nothing else.

"Then I'll be leaving first."

Huo Jue walked out of the house. The captain's eyes fell on Huo Jue and he couldn't help but smile.

The rain was still pouring down, and Huo Jue was not in a very good mood when he left the village committee.

Old Wang's son had an accident at a brick kiln factory and fell into the furnace and was burned to death.

The team leader now wants to reopen the brick kiln factory, so it's no wonder that he asked me to handle it.

Taking advantage of the rain, Huo Jue did not hesitate and quickly rushed to Lao Wang's house.

The rest of the people were in a bad mood. When old lady Wang, who was guarding the house, heard the knock on the door outside the yard, she couldn't help but curse and walked out.

"Who is it?"

The door opened, and Huo Jue's figure fell into the old lady's sight. She was startled, then frowned: "Huo Jue, what are you doing here?"

The old lady subconsciously wanted to close the door, but Huo Jue took a step forward and stopped her from closing the door: "Please wait a moment."

"What's the matter? Do you have something to say to us?"

The old lady's tone was full of impoliteness: "Huo Jue, are you going to break into my house again?"

She looked indifferent, and Huo Jue smiled politely: "How could that be, old lady?"

He bent down and looked at the old lady, his eyes filled with concern: "Please don't think of me like that. I came here this time to ask you for something."

The old lady frowned and couldn't understand his request for a while.

Huo Jue was not nervous at all when being scrutinized. He looked at the old lady with a smile and said, "Can I come in and talk to you?"

As the saying goes, don't hit a smiling person. Huo Jue was now looking at her with a smile. Even if the old lady hated him, she couldn't refuse Huo Jue.

She sighed in her heart and finally made way: "Come in."

Huo Jue heaved a sigh of relief: "Auntie, I came here this time because I have something I want to talk to you about."

The old lady stared at Huo Jue calmly, "Huo Jue, if you have something to say, just say it directly. Stop hesitating."

She curled her lips and said, "I'm old now. I don't have the energy to beat around the bush with you anymore."

Huo Jue's heart moved and he looked at the old lady: "Is Uncle Wang okay?"

"It's not good or bad at all."

Old Lady Wang sneered, "You're just waiting to die."

She sighed and looked at Huo Jue with a thoughtful look in her eyes: "If you have something to say, just say it directly, don't hesitate."

"The brick kiln in the village wants to reopen. Aunt Wang, I'd like to ask for your opinion on this matter."

When the old lady heard that the brick kiln was going to be opened, she instantly tensed up: "Huo Jue, don't even think about it!"

Her sharp voice could almost pierce Huo Jue's eardrums. Huo Jue had already prepared for this before coming, so when he looked at the old lady, he was naturally not panicked at all.

"Aunt Wang, we all know you're feeling miserable, but there's really nothing we can do about this."

Huo Jue's eyes fell on her: "You should know that we have no other choice now. We have to open a brick kiln factory."

“Get out!”

Before Huo Jue could finish his remaining words, the old lady angrily scolded him, "Huo Jue, I'm telling you, if you dare to open this brick kiln, your uncle Wang and I will also dare to cause trouble. You should know that we have no sons and no grandsons, so there is nothing to be afraid of!"

Huo Jue had a headache. Even though he knew his aunt wouldn't cooperate, he still wanted to give it a try. But who knew that this would lead to such a thing?

The door outside the yard was closed. Huo Jue stood at the door, pulling his hair in pain.

At this moment, he was indeed at a loss.

Aunt Wang's cries and scolding could also be heard from the courtyard. Huo Jue pursed his lips, his expression still firm: "Aunt, please calm down first. I'll come to see you in a few days."
