Before they could even grin from ear to ear, Wen Tang spoke up, "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 younger ones, please ask your wives to 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 saying 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, as 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?"
Wen Tang was waiting for this sentence, and she immediately said, "If you think it's shameful for your wife to work outside, you don't have to let her come."
"If anyone isn't coming, tell us now and we'll draw someone new 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 spoke immediately shrank their necks.
Xu Ancheng did raise his hand, but he grinned and said, "I'll let my wife go."
Wen Tang picked up the notebook and began to write, "Okay, my cousin agrees that his wife can come to work."
"What about the other three?"
"Is there anyone unwilling?"
"If you don't want to, just tell us now and we'll draw two more replacements."
Then the other three men were stared at by others.
One of them, named 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 something," 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 hire workers, if we still only need two or three, we'll still draw lots."
"If there are a lot of people, we will try to recruit people from our brigade and give each household a spot."
"Then, let me emphasize this point: until we have recruited enough female workers, we will not consider male workers for the time being."
"As for why we're not hiring male workers, it's because we're currently doing delicate work, and our female comrades are more meticulous and more suitable."
"Our work is just like the weaving work in the city. It requires delicate work and doesn't require much physical 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 it would be annoying if they try to trip her up or do something bad to her.
Having said that, those male chauvinists will feel better and will probably 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 from their families, began to make a fuss about splitting up.
Especially Qiu Yuefang's home.
Her eldest daughter-in-law made the most noise.
"The family must be divided."
"Did a donkey kick you in the head?" Lin Jingyao still had a bad tone, but he felt much better.
Because of the last fight with Lin Jinghui, Lin Jinghui really tried to kill him.
The beating made him somewhat 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 glared at him, and he really had no choice.
"What do you mean your head was kicked by a donkey? I think you are the one whose head was kicked by a donkey," his wife Huang Hongmei also did not give in to him.
"Look, even Third Uncle's family got the lottery today. Did ours 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 even mentioning it.
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 first seen by Lin Jingyao’s son.
Qiuqiu was playing with the candy in her hand, and was seen by Lin Jingyao's son. He wanted it too, and tried to coax the candy away.
But Qiuqiu is small, but not stupid.
He grabbed the sugar and wine and ran back to the house.
The child refused to accept this and ran to his mother, crying, "Candy, Xiaohu wants some candy too."
Huang Hongmei said angrily, "Whose mouth are you looking at?"
"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.
