Chapter 109: Household Contract Responsibility System and Contracted Land

After that, many people came back after being detained for a day. They were still normal when they left, but after just one night, they were listless, untidy, and looked as miserable as they could be.

But no one dared to delay. Not long after returning home, they all went straight home to get the money and then found Lin Xiuzhen. This time they returned the money very straightforwardly.

Everyone is afraid of going to jail.

They also sincerely apologized to Lin Xiuzhen.

Lin Xiuzhen also accepted the money in full under the witness of the village chief.

After what happened, everyone became obedient.

No matter how good the vegetables are, it is useless. I sold them at such a high price in the beginning, but now I have lost all the money. Not only that, I have even lost money and was locked up for a night.

As for the main culprit, the short guy, he hasn't come out yet. I heard that he will be severely punished, and I guess his end won't be good.

Although there are still many people in the village who think that Lin Xiuzhen's behavior is really too much, Lin Xiuzhen does not care about other people's opinions.

Since you have done something wrong, you must bear the corresponding punishment.

Instead of playing the victim here and morally blackmailing others.

Lin Xiuzhen hopes that this lesson can serve as a wake-up call for everyone.

After all, I will grow more and more vegetables in the future. Although I will definitely ask people to help at that time, there is no such thing as guarding against thieves for a thousand days. Since these people have done such a thing, I hope they can remember the lesson this time.

Avoid this happening again in the future.

This matter also caused a lot of controversy, but many people felt that Lin Xiuzhen's behavior was a bit inhumane, but there were also many people who felt that Lin Xiuzhen did nothing wrong.

After all, if something like this happens once, it will happen again. If we don’t give them a warning, these people will become even more outrageous. Will they still be able to make money in the future?

We are all farmers. Who would like to see the crops they have worked so hard to grow being stolen?

Some people had said before that Lin Xiuzhen had gone too far, but after being confronted like this, she immediately became obedient.

Sometimes, you don’t feel pain unless the knife stabs your body.

But as soon as they are stabbed, these people start to get angry.

Lin Xiuzhen didn't think there was anything wrong with this.

After that, his vegetable garden was quiet for a long time.

As the news of reform and opening up, as well as the news of household contract responsibility system, spread, everyone could clearly feel that the trend was changing every day.

And even those in the black market are not arrested.

This also seems to give everyone a signal that the market is about to be completely liberalized.

Now, the bolder families in the village have started to take their own vegetables to the city to sell.

I didn't expect it would actually sell for money.

As a result, more and more people went to buy it.

As soon as the news of the household contract responsibility system came out, Lin Xiuzhen directly contracted a lot of land.

They are all planning to grow their own vegetables when the time comes. However, after the land becomes larger, Lin Xiuzhen will also start recruiting people.

I have to hire someone else, otherwise I'll be exhausted if I rely on myself.

Lin Xiuzhen originally came here with the intention of retiring and living a carefree life.

So now that reform and opening up have taken place, she has been able to let go.

When the people in the village heard that Lin Xiuzhen was hiring, they all came to ask about the price.

All I do all day is help out in the fields, doing whatever work is available. It's not certain. If it's hard work, I'll get one dollar a day, but if it's not hard work, I'll only get fifty cents.

But even so, this treatment is already very good for the people in the village.

How much is the monthly salary for working in the city?

If they earn 50 cents a day, that would be 15 dollars a month.

But if you earn one dollar a day sometimes, at the end of a month it's no worse than living in the city.

And the working hours are also flexible.

As long as you finish your work, you can go home and tend to your own land.

How can you make money and farm at the same time without any interference? Is there such a good thing?

So everyone in the village came to sign up.

But not everyone wants Lin Xiuzhen.

We only look for people in the village who are more hardworking and less talkative. When we get together, we just focus on the work without any twists and turns.

Many people who had said bad things about Lin Xiuzhen or Gu Chunlan before soon discovered that the people Lin Xiuzhen was looking for were those who had never gossiped about them.

What else is there that you don’t understand?

This is what happened before revenge.

But it is also true that they had been gossiping before, and there is really no way to deny it.

Originally, everyone was going to find Lin Xiuzhen to argue with her, but later on, everyone felt guilty.

So no one asked.

Everyone agreed that anyone who said something bad about Lin Xiuzhen would not be allowed to work.

At first these people were very jealous.

Some even said sarcastically, "What's there to be proud of? Maybe we won't even be able to pay next month's salary. Then we'll just be doing hard labor for others."

"That's right. Maybe we won't get paid. Look how proud these people are. Maybe we'll work for nothing."

Now that everyone is getting no benefits, they start to talk nonsense, saying things like they can't make money.

Everyone was watching the show, but only those who worked for Lin Xiuzhen knew that Lin Xiuzhen's treatment was really good.

This job is very flexible. Sometimes when there are things going on at home, I can make some arrangements, but I still need to make up the work afterwards.

And sometimes there are extra vegetables, which taste better than those grown at home.

The big guys can still take advantage.

The main reason is that the children at home like them too, so if there are any rotten ones, we will give them back.

When the weather is hot, sometimes we have sugar water to drink.

Many people are pessimistic about not paying salaries, but everyone thinks that with such treatment, if salaries are not paid, people probably won't have any big objections.

Soon, a month passed and Lin Xiuzhen paid everyone's salary on time.

Some people did harder work and only earned twenty-two yuan a month.

But the minimum is fifteen dollars.

In the countryside, fifteen yuan is enough for a whole family to live on for one or two months.

Everybody was very excited.

I didn't expect that I actually got the money.

In the past month, many people were muttering behind the scenes, but now that they have received the money, some people are showing off.

Those who were unable to work here before are now jealous.

I heard that there are a lot, more than twenty a month?

My eyes turned red with jealousy.

How can I be so lucky?

Now when they return home, they are often scolded by their family members, asking them why they scolded Lin Xiuzhen and said bad things about her.
