Chapter 210 The Family Must Divide

Before they could even grin from ear to ear, Wen Tang had already spoken, "I have something I want to solemnly tell you all today."

"When we recruit workers for our soap factory, we first recruit female workers."

"For those whose names were drawn today, the young ones should let their wives come."

"The older ones should go back and discuss with their family whether the daughter-in-law or the son-in-law should come."

"Anyway, I don't want to come."

After he said this, the person whose name was called had his excited smile frozen on his face.

The envy, jealousy and hatred of others disappeared in an instant.

The huge rice field returned to silence, as if no one was there.

Wen Tang was not in a hurry. These people would definitely not keep silent.

Sure enough, after a while, someone asked, "If we hire women, who will do the housework?"

"That's right, we all have children at home, this won't do!"

"That is to say, how can this be possible!"

"Wouldn't it be a joke for a woman to go out and earn money?"

This is what Wen Tang was waiting for. She immediately said, "If you think it's shameful for your wife to come out to earn money, you don't have to let her come."

"If anyone is not coming, please tell us now and we will draw new people on the spot to give the opportunity to other people's wives, okay?"

"Come on, raise your hands if you don't want your wife to come."

Those who were speaking immediately shrank their necks.

Xu Ancheng did raise his hand, but he grinned and said, "I'll let her go, I'll let her go. I'll let my wife go."

Wen Tang picked up the notebook and began to write, "Okay, my cousin agreed to let his wife come to work."

"What about the other three?"

"Is there anyone who is unwilling?"

"If you don't want to, just say so now and we'll draw two more substitutes."

Then the other three men were stared at by others.

One of them, Wang Fu, was even scolded by his wife, "Just try to stop me from making money."

Try it and it will pass away.

"...I, I said what," Wang Fu covered his head and raised his hand, "I, I agree too."

Following Wang Fu was Xu Wanguo.

In the end, only Lin Guangshu remained silent.

When everyone was looking at him, he stammered, "My family... my family will discuss who will go."

"That means everyone agrees!"

"In this case, today's matter is resolved satisfactorily."

"Next time we recruit workers, if we still only need two or three, we'll still draw lots."

"If there are a lot, we will try to recruit people from our brigade and give each household a quota."

"Then, I want to emphasize that until we have recruited enough female workers, we will not consider male workers for the time being."

"As for why we don't hire male workers, it's because we're currently doing delicate work, and our female comrades are more delicate and more suitable."

"We are just like weavers in the city. It's a delicate job that doesn't require much strength, so we don't need male workers for the time being."

"I hope everyone understands!" Wen Tang deliberately didn't recruit men, but she still had to say this.

If she doesn't tell him, she doesn't know if there are any bad guys hiding in the crowd, and then they might trip her up or do something bad to her, which would be really annoying.

Having said that, those men who are too chauvinistic will feel better and will most likely not think of doing anything bad.

Sure enough, after listening to Wen Tang's explanation, many people began to smile and said, "So that's how it is!"

"That's true. Delicate work is more suitable for women."

"If we, old men with rough hands and feet, were to do delicate work, we would really cause trouble."

They talked to each other and comforted themselves.

The recruitment was thus decided.

After the incident was over, the villagers of Xiangxing Team who returned from the rice field, those who had not yet separated their families, began to make a fuss about splitting up.

Especially Qiu Yuefang's home.

Her eldest daughter-in-law made the most trouble.

"The family must be separated."

"Did you get kicked in the head by a donkey?" Lin Jingyao still had a bad tone, but he felt much better.

Because of the last fight with Lin Jinghui, Lin Jinghui really killed him.

The beating made him more or less obedient.

Although Lin Jinghui didn't get anything good.

But Lin Jinghui was probably too young, and he walked with a limp, but he still looked at him with a scowl, and he really had no choice.

"What do you mean your head was kicked by a donkey? I think you are the one who was kicked in the head by a donkey," his wife Huang Hongmei also refused to give in to him.

"Look, even Uncle San's family got the lottery today. Did our family get the lottery?"

"I tell you, it was your mother who killed him."

Huang Hongmei pointed outside the house and said, "Look at the life they are living now, and then look at the life you and I are living."

Lin Jingyao knew who this person was referring to without her saying anything.

Although Wang Xiaohui lives alone now, she lives in the same courtyard with them and can see them eating and drinking.

Last time, they all saw Qiuqiu eating White Rabbit milk candy.

It was Lin Jingyao’s son who saw it first.

Qiuqiu was playing with the candy in her hand, and Lin Jingyao's son saw it. He wanted it too, so he tried to coax the candy away.

But Qiuqiu is small, but not stupid.

He grabbed the candy and ran back to the house.

The child refused to accept it and ran to his mother to cry, "Candy, Xiaohu wants some candy too."

Huang Hongmei said angrily, "Whose mouth did you see moving again?"

"Sister, sister has candy." Lin Xiaohu pointed outside and howled.

Huang Hongmei was too embarrassed to ask Wang Xiaohui for it herself, so she instigated the child to "go find your grandma and ask her to help you get it."

Five-year-old Lin Xiaohu can already understand what people say.

Huang Hongmei asked him to go find Qiu Yuefang, so he went.

When he said he wanted to eat candy, Qiu Yuefang said angrily, "Eat, eat, eat. You are such a greedy person. Where can I get candy for you?"

"Sister, I have it. Sister, I have it," Lin Xiaohu said unwillingly.

Huang Hongmei got angry when she heard what Qiu Yuefang said to Lin Xiaohu, so as soon as Lin Xiaohu finished speaking, she rushed over, grabbed Lin Xiaohu and started beating him up.

Five-year-old Lin Xiaohu was still wearing open-crotch pants, and his buttocks were swollen from the beating, but Qiu Yuefang didn't say a word.

Qiu Yuefang is a cruel woman. She cares about her own children, but as for the children born by her daughter-in-law, in her opinion, as long as her daughter-in-law doesn't feel sorry for them, she can just beat them to death.

Anyway, a mother would never bear to beat her own child to death.

She has a tight grip on her daughter-in-law.

Otherwise, no one would have dared to bully Wang Xiaohui like that.

The child was beaten so hard that he cried and screamed, and in the end it was the second son's wife who persuaded him to stop.

They were all in the same yard, making quite a noise. Wang Xiaohui also heard some of the noise and knew it was because of the candy in Qiuqiu's hand, but Wang Xiaohui just closed the door to block out the noise from outside.

Not a single candy was given to him.

She's not that kind.

Because those people had never been kind to her before.

If anyone had compassion for her at that time, they would not have let her go hungry with her breastfeeding child.

That's why Huang Hongmei hated Wang Xiaohui so much.

I think she is very vicious.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be so reluctant to even give the child a candy.

She secretly despised Wang Xiaohui many times. Wasn't it just a job to make money?

Other families will have it too in the future. Is it her turn to stick a green onion in her nose to pretend to be handsome?

But today Wen Tang said that only one person can go if there is no separation...

If Huang Hongmei doesn’t collapse, who will?
