Chapter 343 Stupid Things
These words made the village chief open his eyes wide, his dark eyes full of surprise, and he looked at Mrs. Wen again.
"We really shouldn't go to Beijing to develop our careers. We have to go out and explore the world. Otherwise, if we get old and still haven't seen the world, it will be a joke if people get out."
Mrs. Wen nodded and agreed with a smile, giving the answer without thinking.
There are a lot of people in the village who have hardly ever been out.
"That's fine. Young people should go out and explore the world. Let's take a look at these mountain products first. They should all be good stuff."
The village chief stopped talking, just smiled awkwardly and took the things over.
He didn't want to suffer any more blows, so he might as well help look after things. At least he had something to do here, and he could also do Chen Zhuyi a favor.
Just as the village chief said, the quality of the remaining mountain products is very good, and you can tell they are good just by touching them.
"Now that we've chosen it, let's send it back as soon as possible and let the elderly at home try it. If they think it's good, we can make the final decision."
"As for those hand-woven knitted items, Village Chief, have you found the women to do it? They can come in for a trial run tomorrow. I'll pay them fifty cents each."
Gongsun Mei smiled and selected a part of them, planning to find someone to transport them back to the capital, and also began to arrange for the female comrades to go to work.
When the village chief heard this, he could not suppress the smile on his face. The palace servants in the city probably didn't even make one dollar a day, but they could get fifty cents a day working at home!
Just take some thread ends or something and mix them together. It’s not difficult. Any girl who has never been to school can do it directly!
"Okay, I have prepared more than a dozen people. If you think it's appropriate, they can all come tomorrow." The village chief carefully reported a number.
Not everyone really needs this help. Naturally, some of them have good abilities, so they can seize this opportunity.
"Okay, then let them prepare their own tools." Gongsun Mei didn't mind the large number of people and agreed easily.
Her attitude was too casual, which made the village chief feel relieved. He then went out and arranged for several people to guard near the Cai family and take turns standing guard.
"Don't let them disturb Miss Gongsun again. Our village's hope for prosperity lies here. If anyone tries to stop us, then... send them all to the farm cowshed!"
The village chief said this with a stern face.
Those who were selected to return had nothing to say about these things. Today, only some suffering female comrades were able to come here to work.
But tomorrow, nothing can be certain.
Maybe they could get their wives or even their children to work, and everything would be fine.
Boss Cai noticed that the people guarding the door had only dissatisfaction in their dark eyes, which overflowed a little as they stared at the useless women in front of them.
"You mean... you guys made such a big fuss, but not only did you not resolve the matter, you also caused trouble at home, right?"
It doesn’t matter if I’m not accepted by Chen Zhuyi.
At that time, they can use all their connections to find a trustworthy aunt for help. In any case, it is much better than not making any money at all.
However, because of the previous behavior of Cai Da's wife and others crying at the funeral, many people have become resentful.
After all this entanglement, the Cai family’s reputation in the entire village will probably be ruined, and they will have no chance of making money!
"We... just want to fight for ourselves by any means necessary. If we can earn a living through our own abilities, people will take the initiative to send us gifts in the future."
Cai's wife spoke in a low voice, but there was a hint of nervousness in her tone.
Obviously, she was not the culprit of all this, and it was Boss Cai who acquiesced to the implementation of their plan.
But if something goes wrong, the responsibility will fall on the sisters-in-law!
Boss Cai slapped his wife directly on the face with his backhand. There was no tenderness in his eyes, but a hint of disgust.
"You mean I made the wrong decision? Did I tell you what to do?"
"You're a bunch of useless people who are only capable of causing trouble. You don't have to pack your things. Let's go straight into the city and go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get a divorce!"
Those words, which were full of certainty and confidence, startled the young wives.
Boss Cai didn't care what his other brothers and sisters thought. He grabbed his wife's hand and walked outside. For a moment, screams and crying were heard one after another, and there were also frightened looks in the eyes of several young wives.
"Can you please stop making such a fuss? Even if we divorce, we might not get what we want. Why put you in the middle and make things difficult for us?"
Cai's wife spoke quickly, her eyes rolling around.
Wang Ling went to the hospital at the expense of Chen Zhuyi, and the third brother's wife hasn't returned yet, so she probably met some kind-hearted person.
They might be able to break through from here.
"Instead of going to the city to get a divorce, let's go visit my third and fifth brother's wives first." Cai's eldest daughter-in-law tugged at her husband's clothes, trying to please him.
Boss Cai narrowed his eyes and realized that this was indeed a good idea. He nodded gently and said, "Let's go and see. If there is really no other way, then we can all get divorced."
The tone that sounded like an order made Cai's wife feel relieved. She nodded quickly and followed her husband, planning to go into the city overnight.
The others looked at each other in confusion before immediately following.
As soon as the door opened, they saw a group of men with unfriendly expressions standing outside, as if they had stayed there specifically to guard them.
Boss Cai's expression immediately showed some dissatisfaction: "Who do you think you are? Why are you staying at our doorstep?"
His eyes kept drifting towards the next room, and he felt strange.
Is it true that just based on the achievements of those women next door, they are worthy of being specially assigned a militia?
The young men in the family all have things to do. Why don’t they earn proper work points and stay here to guard the house for the women?
The disdain in his eyes was about to overflow. Uncle Wang, the leader, reached out and knocked him on the head: "Watch your words, little brat. It's the middle of the night. What are you and your family doing out here?"
The words, which were obviously a warning, made Boss Cai take several steps back in pain. His expression became even colder: "Do I need to tell you what our family is going to do?"
They just wanted to take a stroll around the hospital and check out the situation, so they didn't need a letter of introduction or anything like that, so they wanted to go there as soon as possible and come back as soon as possible!
"Yes, considering your family has a long history of bad deeds, the village chief has asked us to keep an eye on you, fearing you might do something foolish again."
Uncle Wang nodded slightly, not hiding his suspicion, his eyes were always on them, as if he was guarding against thieves.
