Chapter 172 Happiness is created by contrast
However, the refugees thought that the villagers of Yilan Village were overthinking it. They did not think that the mountain god was a bad person.
How good He is!
He is just about to put the food in your mouth.
If they wander outside, they will know how terrible the world outside is.
Landslides, fires, floods, all kinds of disasters.
Many villages were destroyed before they had time to escape.
"Oh... God is so cruel! He doesn't even give us a chance to live! So many people were sleeping soundly, but they are gone."
"I would rather the mountain god was God. If that were the case, everyone would still have a way out. How wonderful it would be."
…
Whether you are a man, a woman, an old man or a child, as long as you are willing to work, you can always find something to do.
Although you won't be paid, we will find a way to fill your stomach.
Occasionally, some meat would be given.
The refugees didn't know where the meat came from. They only knew that the broth and the meat patties were delicious. Before they became refugees, they were not able to taste meat like they are now.
Sometimes, they even feel like they are dreaming.
Could it be that by signing a contract to sell oneself one can live such a good life?
If that were the case, they would have signed it long ago.
"Do you want a house? If you are assigned to Qinghe Village and do a good job, you can get a house."
"real?!"
"Of course it's true. Why would I lie to you? Qinghe Village suffered a disaster before and many people died. They must have some empty houses. If you are willing to work hard and win their favor, maybe you can stay."
…
The words “maybe I can stay” made many people excited.
Although some people want to wait until the disaster is over before returning to their hometown, there are also some who have already lost their homes and loved ones and do not want to return to that sad place.
If they have the protection of the mountain god here and the weather is good, why do they have to go back to that place where they can be easily invaded by monsters and might die one day?
Wei Yiyi took on the job of "leading the way" and brought a group of refugees to Qinghe Village. She handed the list given to her by the village chief Wumu to Xu Runiang.
Xu Runiang had learned some characters in the past few days, but she couldn't recognize them all. She quickly called Huai Ting out and asked him to be responsible for the "roster" matter.
Huaixiang was very happy when she heard that her brother was given an important position.
Because it means that they are one step closer to staying.
They were first divided into four groups and assigned to the four villages of Yilan Village, Nanxi Village, Beixi Village and Longyang Village respectively, and they were responsible for different types of work.
One team is responsible for building a new mountain temple, one team is responsible for reclaiming wasteland and cultivating the land, one team is responsible for repairing or building new houses, and one team is responsible for logistics + mobility.
At the paper mill, Heqing Village didn't dare to hire outsiders at all. They only hired their own people. He would rather transfer the villagers there and let outsiders build the village than let the villagers interfere in the affairs of the paper mill.
The reason is very simple. Paper mills have technical requirements, and we don't know whether these outsiders are reliable or not. If they are unreliable, won't their technology be leaked?
Xu Runiang's brother Xu Qiang went there, and because of this, her sister-in-law started to like her more - one was a technically demanding job, and the other was just managing people, and her sister-in-law felt that the former was more reliable.
As for Xu Runiang, her sister-in-law decided to take over herself and "supervise" Xu Runiang at any time.
Xu Runiang: “…”
Let her supervise, she is not afraid of being supervised. She just hopes that her sister-in-law can wake up sooner and stop relying on her brother for everything. She is also a woman and should stand up for herself.
As for whether her elder sister-in-law would abandon her brother after she became independent, Xu Runiang had never thought about it.
After all, in her mind, there was no possibility of divorce or divorcing her husband, and she didn't think a woman could stay out of marriage.
In addition to wanting to do things, Xu Runiang is also a very "traditional" woman.
The villagers were a little uneasy at first, but with someone leading them, they quickly adapted.
Why work? As long as you can eat, it doesn’t matter where you work.
Although there is no salary, there are "work points".
Different types of work have different work intensities, work completion degrees, and work points.
Every day, someone would go to the "Work Points Propaganda Column" to count how many bars their family had and where they ranked.
They would supervise each other to prevent someone from slacking off at work without being discovered by the "manager" and being given an extra full work point.
Who wouldn't want to stay?
Even if you can't stay, you can record a few more work points so that you can exchange them for things in the future.
Those who are recruited first will enjoy it first, and those who have not been recruited yet can only wait patiently.
The person who was left behind to comfort the refugees was none other than Liang Sui, who went with Xu Runiang. The reason why we kept him was because he was a man. We couldn't leave Qu Haidong behind, right?
Liang Sui would hang out there every day to tell the refugees that his master was not running away and was still recruiting.
He seemed to be very idle, chatting with one person or another every day, but he was actually trying to find out the real situation of the refugees.
By the way, I can find out the situation of Lanwa Town through the refugees.
Unlike Yu Zhongdou who is openly a man of hatred for Qiu Li, he is a pure "migrant worker" and is closer to the grassroots.
Yu Zhongdou also has to contact Qiu Li from time to time, and bring some goods from time to time, so it is not as convenient as Liang Sui.
Of course, Liang Sui also had trouble staying in the refugee gathering area. For example, the guy named Cui Gang would bring Zhang San and Li Si to patronize him from time to time.
Liang Sui: “…”
Are you sure you want to threaten me?
Liang Sui was not afraid of him. He had been briefed before coming here and knew that this was a mission with both opportunities and risks.
It is dangerous, but if it is done, he and his wife and their family can stay in Qinghe Village.
Yes, when others were still working hard to complete the task, he took on this job. No matter what the final situation was, their family could stay in Qinghe Village. This was why he was willing to take the risk.
The way he looked at Cui Gang and others was as if he was looking at a fool.
What's the point of you making trouble with me?
I'm not a local, so I can't share your house and land.
If you want to own a house and land, you have to be "honest and decent" so that the locals will like you.
Cui Gang and others are not really stupid, they just want to take a shortcut. They are just used to solving problems with threats and violence, but they forget that not every place can be "threatened" like his hometown.
Especially when the opponent's force value is higher than yours, your threat is like a joke.
"Did you hear me? If you don't behave, I'll break your legs!"
Liang Sui shrank his neck, looking frightened: "I...I'm honest, I'm honest, don't break my legs, just ask whatever you want to ask, I will definitely tell you what I know."
"Where did that Miss Xu come from?"
"From Nibashi Village."
Cui Gang frowned: "Are you kidding me?"
Doesn’t he know about Niba Eighteenth Village? I asked around when I first arrived. Niba Eighteenth Village is a village located between Lanwa Town and Quanchun Town. It is extremely poor.
Can a place like this afford to hire people?
Haven’t you seen the gentry and wealthy families in Lanwa Town? They are not that generous. How could they recruit so many people?
"I... I don't know. They won't tell me the truth." Liang Sui saw that they didn't believe the truth, so he could only "make up" a story.
He didn't know many places, but it didn't matter. As long as it was a nearby town and a branch of a certain family, that would be enough.
As for why they were recruiting people, Liang Sui said it seemed like they were going to build a farm outside.
