Shen Qiqi sat in the yard, holding her chin with her hands and frowning.

The issue of labor distribution was like a mountain pressing on her heart, making her feel extremely heavy.

The evening breeze blew gently, bringing a hint of coolness, but her heart began to feel hot.

"Lu Qing, please help me find some paper and pen. I need to think about this carefully..." Shen Qiqi took Lu Qing's hand, her tone filled with anxiety.

Lu Qing nodded, and hurried into the room to get paper and pen, and placed them in front of Shen Qiqi.

She picked up a pen and kept scratching on the paper, as if looking for some answer.

At the same time, in the village's educated youth dormitory, Captain Zhao was busy discussing tomorrow's work arrangements with several educated youth.

Although Zhao Zhiqing was young, he was knowledgeable and ambitious. He felt that the educated youth should make use of their strengths and do some technical work instead of doing heavy work like the villagers.

"We educated youth should do some technical work so that we can better play our advantages." Zhao Zhiqing said in a firm tone, with confidence in his eyes.

Upon hearing this, the other educated youth nodded in agreement.

However, these words soon reached Aunt Wang's ears. She put her hands on her hips, anger burning in her heart.

"Why can you educated youth do easy work while we villagers have to do heavy work?" Aunt Wang's voice rang out in the village, immediately attracting everyone's attention.

As soon as she finished speaking, a depressing atmosphere filled the village, and the conflict between the villagers and the educated youth escalated instantly.

Shen Qiqi heard the quarrel outside, hurriedly put down the pen in her hand and stood up.

She took a deep breath and walked to the door. Just as she was about to speak, she heard Aunt Wang's voice become even sharper: "You educated youth think you can be special just because you are educated? Stop dreaming!"

Shen Qiqi's expression became serious. She slowly walked forward. Aunt Wang and Zhao Zhiqing were facing each other head-on, and the tension between the two sides was almost reaching its peak.

Shen Qiqi said softly: "All of you be quiet and listen to me..." Before she finished her words, the quarreling at the scene stopped abruptly, and everyone's eyes turned to her, waiting for her next words.

Shen Qiqi pressed her hands down, signaling everyone to be quiet.

"Stop arguing. Will arguing solve the problem? I think it's better to do this—" She paused deliberately, whetting everyone's appetite, and then slowly said, "Distribute according to work. More work, more pay. No work, no pay. How about that?"

As soon as she said this, the whole audience fell silent.

Aunt Wang was stunned, Zhao Zhiqing was also stunned, even Lu Qing, who had been standing behind Shen Qiqi, raised his eyebrows slightly, obviously not expecting her to do such a thing.

Shen Qiqi looked around, a confident smile on her lips.

This "distribution according to work" is a universal truth. I don't believe it can't cure these gossipy villagers and arrogant educated youth!

"Whether it's educated youth or villagers, whoever works harder gets paid more. It's fair and just, no one is cheated!" Shen Qiqi's tone was firm and resounding, like a bomb exploding in the crowd, causing ripples.

Aunt Wang was the first to react. She squinted her eyes and looked at Shen Qiqi, as if she was re-evaluating this seemingly weak but unexpectedly strong third daughter-in-law.

"This...will this work?" There was a hint of doubt in her tone, but more of curiosity.

Other villagers were also whispering and talking among themselves.

Zhao Zhiqing nodded thoughtfully. Shen Qiqi's move was indeed brilliant. It neither favored any party nor cleverly resolved the conflict, and it also stimulated everyone's enthusiasm for work.

"If it works, you'll know after trying it." Shen Qiqi raised her eyebrows.

The villagers and educated youth looked at each other, not knowing what to do for a moment.

Aunt Wang rubbed her hands and walked up to Zhao Zhiqing, her face full of smiles: "Hey, Captain Zhao, look at us..."

Aunt Wang rubbed her hands and walked up to Zhao Zhiqing with a smile on her face: "Well, Captain Zhao, look at us..." Before she finished her words, several villagers next to her also came over and joined this "friendship promotion meeting" as if they had tacitly agreed.

Zhao Zhiqing looked at Aunt Wang and the villagers in front of him with sincere faces, smiled slightly and nodded.

“Okay, then let’s do as Shen Qiqi said and form teams freely.” As soon as he finished speaking, the villagers and educated youth began to communicate with each other, and the atmosphere gradually eased.

Shen Qiqi stood in the yard, watching this scene, a relieved smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

The evening breeze was blowing gently, bringing a hint of coolness, but her heart felt extremely warm.

The villagers and educated youth formed teams in twos and threes. Some discussed tomorrow's work assignments, while others had already begun to discuss specific work plans. The atmosphere in the village became cheerful.

Lu Qing quietly walked to Shen Qiqi's side, gently took her hand, and whispered in her ear: "Qiqi, you are amazing, you solved this problem perfectly." Shen Qiqi's cheeks were slightly hot, her heartbeat accelerated, and she glanced at Lu Qing shyly and replied softly: "It's you who helped me come up with the idea, let's work together to find a solution."

The ambiguous atmosphere between the two people spread around. When the surrounding villagers saw their interaction, they all smiled knowingly, and a warm atmosphere spread among the crowd.

Aunt Wang and Zhao Zhiqing also noticed this scene and looked at each other.

At this moment, the village chief, Sun, squeezed through the crowd with a grateful look on his face: "Chen Qiqi, you are really a smart person, this method is great! Everyone's enthusiasm has risen, and the conflict tonight has been resolved."

Shen Qiqi smiled slightly and nodded: "Village Chief Sun, we are all one family. Only by uniting can we live a good life." She turned to Lu Qing with a firm look in her eyes: "We must work hard tomorrow!" Lu Qing held her hand tightly and replied firmly: "With you by my side, I am not afraid of any difficulties."
