"That's right. The brigade leader has never cheated us over the years. He has always been wholeheartedly concerned for us. If you ask me, the cadres in our brigade are also rare and good cadres!"

"Yes, we all believe the brigade leader. Old sour woman, stop being sour. We won't believe your attempts to sow discord. Don't forget what happened to those who believed him before."

"Yes, we can't trust her, she's up to no good..."

The brigade leader originally intended to calm everyone down, but he never expected that everyone would calm themselves down. Moreover, this scene also calmed down the brigade cadres present.

Unexpectedly, the team members understand their hardships so well. If we continue, these grown men might just burst into tears.

To avoid losing control, the captain quickly spoke up:

"Well, folks, we are really glad that you can distinguish right from wrong, but I still want to make a guarantee for you all to put your minds at ease."

Since our side business is just starting out and we're working as families, the team hasn't provided us with any space or raw materials.

Therefore, once we receive the money for the bean sprouts, we will distribute it all to everyone and leave no one with a single penny.

As for those who worked hard on it, such as Comrade Zhao, the two young educated youths, and us old folks, we were all paid work points. We won't ask for a single penny from you, so please rest assured!

As soon as Wang Fulin finished speaking, a cheer erupted from below.

"Oh, good! We knew the captain wouldn't betray us!"

However, Wang Fulin quickly stopped their cheers and continued:

"Everyone, please don't get too excited yet. This is conditional and temporary. Once our team's side businesses take off, we'll definitely need more centralized management, and things won't be like this anymore..."

He spoke very carefully, choosing his words carefully, for fear that the team members wouldn't accept it and that something else might happen.

Before he could finish speaking, a slightly naive voice came from below:

“We know that, Captain. It’s unbelievable that we were able to get all the money into our hands this time.”

After all, the team leader and so many people were running around doing all the work, but in the end, we were the ones who got the money. We felt a little embarrassed.

The brigade cadres looked over when they heard the voice and saw that the speaker was Wang Ergou, who lived at the foot of the other side of the mountain.

If we were to talk about the hardest-lived families in the whole village, the Zhou family (Old Suanpo's family) before the family split up would definitely be number one, followed by the Wang Ergou family.

The difference is that Wang Ergou is really hardworking, but he has a paralyzed father, a frail and sickly mother, and a sister who is born mentally challenged.

The entire burden of a family rests on his shoulders, so much so that even at twenty-four years old, no matchmaker has yet come to his door to arrange a marriage for him.

When people in the team mentioned Wang Ergou, they couldn't help but sigh.

Sigh, such a fine young man, how could he...

But there was nothing that could be done about it. Wang Ergou's father had been paralyzed after falling while cutting down trees on the mountain, and his mother had developed an illness after giving birth to his younger sister in the same year. His younger sister, Wang Xiaoya, was born extremely thin and weak, and after a lot of effort to raise her, it was only when she was seven or eight years old that they discovered she had intellectual disabilities...

When his parents met with misfortune one after another, Wang Ergou was only 13 years old, but from then on he had to shoulder the burden of the whole family.

The people in the team have always been good, so even though everyone was having a hard time in those years, they still did their best to help their family and take care of the younger Wang Ergou when doing farm work.
