From the time Zhuang Sheng was driven out until now, a huge change had occurred. This huge gap from heaven to hell made Chen Guihua and Zhuang Qiang feel extremely unbalanced. The more unbalanced they felt, the more they hated Liu Ruonan and Zhuang Sheng. The more they hated them, the more they felt that they shouldn't be living such a carefree life.
Isn't this what the saying "raising a son to provide for one's old age" is all about? Zhuang Sheng is a boy, so it's only natural for him to be filial to his father. Even though there was some unpleasantness between them, it's only natural for Zhuang Sheng to provide for Zhuang Qiang's old age and see him to the end, isn't it?
When the village meeting was held, Liu Ruonan did not attend the meeting, but went to Chen Wanglong's home to talk with the old couple.
The old man learned from Chen Lei that Liu Ruonan was going to build a road for the village. As an old man in the family, he naturally felt sorry for his child. After learning the truth, he complained to Liu Ruonan.
But even though she was complaining, Tian Ni's tone was filled with heartache. She said, "Girl! Although you've made some money outside, it didn't come from the wind. The village roads are owned by the villagers, and they're unwilling to pay for them. Just let them walk on the dirt road. How can you afford it all by yourself?"
At that time, Tian Ni was still trying to find the village chief to get the money back for Liu Ruonan. Finally, Liu Ruonan finally calmed her down. She persuaded her that this would be good for her factory, and Tian Ni gave up.
When the villagers learned that Liu Ruonan had come to Chen Wanglong's home, many villagers came to Chen Wanglong's home in groups, under the banner of wanting to thank Liu Ruonan. In fact, they just thought that Liu Ruonan was doing very well now and wanted to see if they could find a job under him.
Everyone gathered together and talked for a while, all praising Liu Ruonan for not forgetting the villagers, and also expressing gratitude for the road construction.
Before leaving, a neighbor walked up to Liu Ruonan, rubbed his hands, looked at Liu Ruonan and said, "Ruonan! Uncle has a request."
Liu Ruonan looked confused. Their family and Uncle Liu's family didn't have much contact on a daily basis. What kind of unreasonable request could he make to her?
"Uncle Liu, what's the matter?" Although Liu Ruonan was confused, she still responded politely.
"I heard you opened a large garment factory in the city. I wonder if you're short of workers? Could I come and work there?"
As expected, someone had already spoken up. Uncle Liu was clearly embarrassed. There were so many people, and no one had spoken up beforehand. He was the first. They'd clearly all discussed it beforehand, but when it came time to get down to business, no one spoke.
Everyone knew what they were thinking, and it was nothing more than wanting to leave a good impression in front of Liu Ruonan. After all, someone as successful as Liu Ruonan was not to be offended easily, as she might be able to help them in the future.
Liu Ruonan frowned slightly, unsure how to respond. Most of the villagers were honest farmers who had no experience with machinery. If they were asked to work on the machines, they wouldn't understand them at all.
But as soon as Uncle Liu finished speaking, the villagers who were about to leave gathered around him, looking at Liu Ruonan and saying, "Yes! Ruonan, since we all run factories, we will definitely need workers. Instead of hiring other workers, we might as well give this benefit to our own villagers."
"That's right! Ruonan! The people in our village all know each other well, so you can use them with confidence. They won't give up their responsibilities in the factory."
"That's right! We've all watched you grow up. Instead of giving this benefit to others, why not help our entire village become rich together?"
Everyone started to persuade Liu Ruonan.
Liu Ruonan was also filled with melancholy. She also had her own concerns. If she hired people from the village and used strict rules to restrict them, would they think that Liu Ruonan was putting on airs?
It's not impossible.
It's true that Liu Ruonan is doing better than before. However, her good life is earned through the hard work of herself and Zhuang Sheng, step by step. No stealing, no robbery. Everything is honest and aboveboard.
But if Liu Ruonan helped them out of kindness, would they develop a habit of thinking that if they refused Liu Ruonan's help, she would be ungrateful and forgetful?
"Our factory uses the most advanced equipment, but I'm afraid you may not be able to use it!" Liu Ruonan couldn't refuse directly, so she said so.
They say you can't feed a wolf you don't tame. This is true for some people. No matter how good you are to them, they will think you're entitled to it, rather than feeling grateful.
There are too many people in the village, and she has no way to balance fairness to everyone. She is afraid that if someone is not careful enough or too careful about something else, unnecessary conflicts will arise.
In fact, Liu Ruonan didn't want to help everyone get rich together. However, these factors must be taken into consideration.
Everyone understood the meaning of Liu Ruonan's words, which was nothing more than a rejection. Some people began to wonder in their hearts, thinking that Liu Ruonan was just unwilling to help.
"It doesn't matter, everyone can learn from it! Don't you think so?" Uncle Liu spoke first. Since he had already taken the lead in this matter, he would continue to take the lead!
"Yeah! If we don't know how, we can learn."
"That's right! No one is born knowing how to do something. We can learn."
Liu Ruonan saw everyone was in high spirits. After everyone quieted down, she said, "Have you thought it through? Going to work in a factory means leaving your family behind, leaving your career behind, and leaving your wife and children behind. I'm afraid you won't be able to spend much time with your family in the future. If you really want to work in a factory, there are some things we should be clear with you upfront."
By then, I'm afraid I won't be able to rely on you for the farm work at home. You know, the farm work at home needs you, but once you really start working, my factory will also need people. If you think we are from the same hometown and it's easy to talk to, you can ask for leave and come back to your hometown to work. Sorry, my factory can't afford workers like you.
Also, my factory operates in three shifts, with 24-hour shifts. Unless there are special circumstances, the workshop cannot stop production..."
"We all understand this. Isn't it the same for people who work in large factories?"
Before Liu Ruonan finished speaking, some people started to respond impatiently.
