Chapter 339 Self-funded
"Then go and try it yourself. If you can persuade him to change his mind, we sisters will be Fu Qi with you."
Cai's wife spoke coldly, her voice trembling a little.
She is not the type of person who dares to step out and take responsibility for things. It would be best if someone is willing to take the lead.
Cai Er's wife pursed her lips and said nothing. Of course, she didn't have that much face, but she couldn't bear to be beaten for nothing.
"How about...we go ask Granny Wen for help? That old woman has a soft heart. After all, she had some affection for me before. She won't really watch us die, right?"
Cai Si's wife spoke cautiously, which was already a very bold request.
At the beginning, what Chen Zhuyi needed was someone who couldn't survive without this job, and they all obviously fit the bill!
Why are you unwilling to recruit them?
"Okay, let's go and negotiate with Mrs. Wen first. If soft tactics don't work, then we'll try hard tactics!" A dark glint flashed in Mrs. Cai's eyes.
Although she didn't dare to hit her own husband, she was still able to threaten an old woman.
The next day, Chen Zhuyi was awakened by screams outside.
Mrs. Wen was old and had little time to sleep. She opened the door early in the morning to clean up, but she didn't expect to see people kneeling neatly on the ground outside.
The eyes of the Cai family's daughters-in-law were bloodshot, as if they had been kneeling for a long time, and their bodies were covered with dew.
"Grandma Wen, we know we shouldn't disturb you without permission, but...if we don't do this, we won't be able to survive."
Cai's wife spoke softly, with only deep sadness in her dark eyes.
They came on their own kneeling, without their children, but it was obvious that someone next door was looking forward to it.
This is a group of shameless old people from the Cai family using women to threaten other women.
"If we don't have this job, we won't be able to go back, and even our children will be without a father. Please, for the sake of our many years of being neighbors and the fact that your children still call you Grandma, please be kind to us."
Cai Da's wife's tears began to fall.
The sisters who followed her also started wailing, and for a moment, the sound of grief was deafening.
Some villagers who were unaware of the situation hurriedly put on their clothes and came over. They saw someone kneeling at the door of Mrs. Wen's house from a distance and began to wail as well.
"Grandma Wen, why did you leave so early? We wanted to take better care of you!"
The first person who didn't know the truth started shouting at the top of his lungs, and the others followed suit. For a moment, it seemed as if Mrs. Wen was really dead.
She stared stiffly at the ignorant women in front of her, wishing she could eat them alive.
It's all these women's fault. Instead of sleeping at home, they came here and acted like crazy. Even if she really died, her own grandchildren would take care of her!
"Bullshit, I'm alive and well!" Mrs. Wen's voice was like thunder, suddenly exploding at this moment.
The people around who were ready to kneel down and cry looked at each other, with a hint of surprise in their dark eyes, and were speechless for a moment.
"Is it... haunted?"
A woman shouted tremblingly, and the people around her scattered like birds and beasts, fearing that they would be haunted by ghosts.
Even though people are told not to be afraid of these fictional things, people who have heard many horror stories since childhood are still afraid in their hearts and will naturally run away if they can.
The sky brightened, and the sunlight penetrated the clouds and fell on Mrs. Wen. Her face was as dark as ink, but she did not look like a dead person.
"Are you satisfied with the consequences you have caused?" Mrs. Wen continued to warn with a stern face.
The Cai family's wives didn't dare to say anything. They didn't expect these villagers to be so ignorant that they started crying without asking anything.
The village chief came even slower. When he saw the shameless attitude of the Cai family, his eyelids twitched violently. He then saw Chen Zhuyi and Huo Jinzhi coming out.
Huo Zhao brought Jinhua with him, and even Zhaodi looked at the people in front of them with a confused look on her face.
Gongsun Mei glanced at the village chief with a half-smile, and that expression made the village chief's face even uglier. He wished he could find a hole in the ground and bury all the fools from the Cai family in it!
"If you want a job, you should compete honestly, not resort to such despicable tactics and whine all the time."
"Besides, that female comrade yesterday already said that she doesn't want anyone from your Cai family. You should all give up on this idea!"
He scolded with a stern face. The smart villagers had already understood what was going on, and their eyes were full of displeasure.
"Since you are unwilling to abide by my rules, then we can only find some obedient ones."
Almost as soon as Chen Zhu finished speaking, a man riding a bicycle carrying a lot of gifts rushed over.
His handlebars were full of stuff, and he felt like he couldn't put anything down. When he saw the pregnant Chen Zhuyi, his eyes lit up.
"You are the female comrade sent by the higher-ups to build a factory in our area, right? We can completely follow your arrangements!"
Village chief Huang is from the next village. Last night, someone came to his house under the cover of darkness to report the news. It was the young wife who came over to the village who spoke up.
He didn't have time to pack up and found some good things to send to the door overnight.
Although malted milk and the like are not luxurious enough for the bigwigs from Beijing, it is still a sign of their sincerity, so it is not a bad thing to send them over.
"We also have some local sausages and bacon. They're all good stuff that's been stored for a long time. If they weren't sent to you, we wouldn't touch them easily."
Village Chief Huang was very sincere. He took the initiative to give them all over with a straightforward smile in his eyes.
After hearing this, the village chief nearby became a little anxious. He stretched out his hands to push and pull his old friend, preventing him from passing.
"Nonsense, since Comrade Shen chose us, it must mean that our products are more up to standard. You can only make these things in winter. Don't you sell them at other times?"
The village chief was still eager to discredit the brothers around him.
Bacon and sausages can be preserved for a long time. You can make a large batch in winter and sell them slowly later.
"The young wives in our village are all very skilled in weaving, and they are no less skilled. I even brought some here specially, and they were all packed up overnight."
Village Chief Huang relied on his fatness to push away the village chief next to him with his butt, and pushed the things in front of Chen Zhuyi more eagerly.
A faint fishy smell wafted over, which was not too pungent and felt quite good. Chen Zhu took a closer look at it, and Huo Jinzhi accepted it and took out money from his pocket.
"At the beginning, we all tried the food at our own expense, so no one needs to break the rules." Huo Jinzhi's voice was light, but he seemed to have taken Village Chief Huang's things into consideration.
