"Starting today, Xu Qing will be in charge of Baijiazhuang Village in Zhulin Village. You will follow his orders and move to Yubei Mountain."
Those who disobey will be sold off on the spot after the flood! The calm and decisive voice rang out in the rainy night, louder than thunder in Sun Zhuangtou's ears.
The Bai family has always been kind and generous to its servants.
No beatings, no withholding, no humiliation of wives and daughters. After the flood, everywhere is a disaster zone, who would buy people?
Among those who know how to buy people, few can compare to the Bai family.
Sun Zhuangtou knelt down with a thud, kowtowing repeatedly: "Master, I was wrong! Please spare my family for the sake of our past relationship. I promise I will listen to you from now on!"
As long as he stays, he can slowly plot against Xu Qing later. Once Xu Qing is eliminated, the position of village chief will still be his!
Bai Manshan looked at Sun Zhuangtou.
He doesn't need overly clever servants; he only needs loyal servants who obey his commands.
Clearly, Sunzhuangtou does not belong to this group now.
If he has always been a servant and has never risen to the position of head of the manor, it would be fine for him to stay.
But now, two tigers cannot share one mountain. Keeping him around will only cause trouble for Xu Qing and make things more difficult for Baijiazhuang. He must not be allowed to stay.
Bai Manshan glanced at the sky; it was pitch black. Hu Yu was stationed at the old residence in Nandu, and he had come alone, with no word from her.
His long-standing business acumen led him to smile and say, "You've always been a capable person, so it's normal to make mistakes sometimes. Try to correct them in the future. Get up."
Sun Zhuangtou immediately stood up, and the fierce look on his face disappeared.
The employer still approves of him!
His only enemy was Xu Qing.
After Bai Manshan finished speaking, he didn't linger and instructed each household to hurry back to pack their belongings and move them up the mountain.
The torrential rain had been falling for two days and one night, and the mud on the ground was so thick that your legs could sink up to your calves.
There were also elderly people, children, clothes, bedding, food, livestock, and so on. The journey of more than two hundred people was extremely difficult.
If we had followed the boss's instructions and gone to Yubeishan as soon as the weather changed, we wouldn't be suffering tonight!
Bai Manshan cursed inwardly, but showed no sign on his face, only smiling as he watched everyone leave.
He waited until Xu Qing ran over to report that all two hundred-plus people had reached the mountainside and were safe. He then asked Xu Qing if he wanted to stay.
Bai Manshan shook his head.
Xu Qing, still worried, advised, "Master, it's dark and the road is difficult to travel. Besides, I've seen the dike on Ma Duck Lake, and it might not hold until tomorrow morning. You should stay."
"I need to go to another place to take a look, otherwise I won't feel at ease."
I'll be leaving soon. It will take me about half an hour to get out of Baijiazhuang and about half an hour to get out of the Ma Yahu Reservoir area.
"By the way, keep a close eye on Sun Batou these days. Once the floodwaters recede, the Bai family will deal with him." Bai Manshan instructed methodically.
Xu Qing nodded, still feeling uneasy: "Boss, I'll see you off."
"No need, I have a horse. You go back first; the mountain needs you more." With that, Bai Manshan mounted his horse and rode back.
The crops in Baijiazhuang are doomed, but as long as these people are saved and the land is cultivated, there will still be a harvest later.
People are the most important thing.
Where there are people, there is hope.
After leaving Baijiazhuang on horseback, Bai Manshan passed by another village.
Unlike Baijiazhuang, the people in this village believed the rainstorm would end soon and went to sleep early.
The night was peaceful.
On this peaceful night, Bai Manshan heard the roar of the water upstream!
