Chapter 217: Can a woman be the village chief?
Xu Runiang: "It's okay, I will find someone to help you when the time comes." She asked the crowd on the spot if anyone had done it before. If there was anyone who had done it, they could do it with this young man.
Unexpectedly, there were two refugees who had done it before and they signed up on the spot to join the young man.
Of course, Xu Runiang said that everything has to wait until they pass the "assessment".
"What's the test?"
"It's just to see if you work hard and whether you will cheat or not."
"No! Definitely not! We are all hardworking people. As long as we can survive, we will definitely not be lazy."
Xu Runiang nodded: "Then don't worry, as long as you are willing to endure hardships and work hard, you will definitely pass the assessment."
A refugee woman also asked in a low voice: "Girl, what can we women do?"
Xu Runiang smiled and said, "It's all right. Women can do what men can do. Just like me, I am a woman. I am not only the manager of the refugee guard team, but also the village chief of Wanjia Village."
Everyone exclaimed.
She is actually the village chief? !
Can a woman be a village chief? !
Xu Runiang emphasized: "Why not? Men are human beings, women are human beings too. As long as I have the ability, why can't I do it?"
For a moment, the women were in turmoil.
Especially for women who have no men at home, or who feel that their men are unreliable and have to do it themselves.
At this time, they don’t know that supporting themselves is much more comfortable than asking men for money.
Once you have tasted it, you can never give it up.
Work in the fields is recorded in work points, regardless of gender, only the final result counts.
Points are awarded based on work.
Work points can not only be used to exchange for food rations, but also for their future homes.
Feng Xuemei calculated her work points carefully and vowed that after the assessment, she and her mother would be able to live in a "work points house."
The so-called "work point housing" does not refer to the house allocated after settling down, but the house that can be rented with work points before settling down. It is more favorable than ordinary rental, and can also enjoy some employee benefits.
Feng Xuemei knew clearly that she and her mother could not earn that many work points, so after learning about the relevant benefits, she set her sights on the "work point housing."

After Feiba went to pick someone up, Wei Xing was worried that the two would start arguing.
Unexpectedly, they didn't quarrel.
Seeing the little girl next to Corey, Wei Xing suddenly understood why they didn't quarrel.
"She is... your daughter?" Wei Xing was a little surprised, because in his impression, Corey has always been a "playboy" who never gets involved in anything. How could he have a daughter?
Corey was also very happy to see Wei Xingze, and he went up to him and punched him: "I didn't expect you were still alive! When Feiba told me, I didn't believe it!"
Wei Xing was helpless: "Why don't you believe this? If I were still alive, I wouldn't invite you to visit my hometown. You haven't even told me your daughter's name."
"This is my daughter Della. Isn't she a nice name?" Corey smiled and pushed the little girl, who was only as tall as his waist, in front of his brother and introduced her.
Della has brown curly hair and emerald eyes, and she looks like a foreigner.
She looked a little timid, as if she was worried that her hair color and eyes were different from everyone else's and would make her look shy.
Wei Xingze took out a bag of dried sweet potatoes from his button space and handed it to Della as a gift. He smiled and said, "Hello, Della. I'm your father's friend Wei Xingze. You can call me Uncle Wei from now on. Try it. This is our specialty, called dried sweet potatoes. It's sweet. I don't know if you like it."
Feiba rolled his eyes and said, "I've given it to you, do you still need to introduce it? I also told you to give your share to Della. Della likes it very much."
There was a disaster outside and they were not in a position to waste resources, so as more and more people entered the field, several village chiefs discussed it and adopted a "share system".
For things like these that would affect filling one's stomach, they were given out according to the ration quota. If one wanted more, one had to exchange them for money or work points.
Sweet potatoes are just for sweetening the lips of aliens like them. Compared to this, they would rather use "contribution points" to exchange for weapons, equipment and other things.
For example, Weixing exchanged "contribution value" for a button space.
Feiba was extremely envious and always wanted to change one.
After Wei Xing coaxed Della aside and let her sit on a small stool and happily eat dried sweet potatoes, Corey's face suddenly became solemn.
He pulled Wei Xingze aside, his eyes full of anxiety and worry.
"Xingze, I brought Della here this time because I have something to ask of you." Corey's voice was low, with a bit of helplessness and fatigue.
Wei Xingze's heart tightened, and he vaguely guessed something, but he still asked, "What's wrong? Just tell me what's going on. There's no need to be so formal between us brothers."
Corey sighed and said, "You saw it too. Although Della is an ordinary person, she was also attacked by the black energy. We aliens deal with monsters all year round, so it's normal for us to be contaminated by the black energy, but Della is still young and doesn't understand anything. She is innocent."
As he spoke, Corey's eyes became slightly red. As a father, seeing his daughter suffer, his heart was filled with self-blame and pain.
"As soon as I heard that you were still alive after being attacked by the black energy to that extent, I immediately rushed here with Della. Xingze, I know this may be a little difficult for you, but I really have no other way. Can you tell me how to save Della?"
Corey held Wei Xingze's hand tightly, his eyes full of pleading.
Wei Xing frowned and fell into deep thought.
He recalled his experiences after being invaded by the black energy; the painful struggles and difficult process of survival seemed to be right before his eyes.
He knew the pain of being attacked by the black energy, and also understood Corey's anxiety as a father.
"Corey, don't worry. I will do my best to help you." Wei Xing patted Corey's shoulder and comforted him, "It was a coincidence that I survived after being attacked by the black energy. But for this matter... I still need to ask that adult for his opinion."
After hearing this, Corey's eyes sparkled with hope. "No matter what conditions that gentleman put forward, I will do anything to save Della. If you do, you must help me to say a few good words to that gentleman."
"Corey, don't worry. Given our relationship, I will tell you everything I need to say." Wei Xing felt that with the character of the Mountain God, there shouldn't be any surprises in this matter.
He can help Pheba, let alone Della who is just a little kid.
But Corey may need to make some sacrifices. Corey was willing to sacrifice his life, so he should just be grateful for the loss of a little freedom, right?
Corey looked at Wei Xingze with gratitude and said, "Xingze, thank you so much. If it weren't for you, I don't know what I would do."
"We are brothers, it's too formal to say these things." Wei Xing said with a smile, "Dela is a lovely child, I will definitely do my best to help her."
At this time, Della finished eating the dried sweet potatoes, clapped her hands, and ran over.
She took Corey's hand and asked innocently, "Dad, what are you talking about?"
Corey squatted down, touched Della's head, and said with a smile: "Nothing, Dad and Uncle are discussing something fun."
Looking at Della's innocent smile, Corey secretly made up his mind to find a way to save Della so that she could grow up healthy and happy.
