The loudest and most enthusiastic shouts came from the men who went out!
They know best what it's like to have a knife and what they most desire; they are also not afraid of hard work.
These men were the strongest men from each household in the village, and the old village chief had originally favored them.
He selected a group of people from among them, and apart from the Fan Qian and Zhang Tuzi families, he took care of every other household, with a total of thirty people in each household.
Looking at the group of strong, dark-eyed men, the old village chief said, "The walls of Fan Qian's and Zhang Tuzi's families are not many. I'm afraid you guys can't do this much work."
"The front and back doors haven't been built yet. How about I leave the finding, chopping, and transporting the timber to you for construction as well?"
What man can't do it?
Let alone this little bit of work, they would be willing to double it!
What man doesn't love swords, guns, and clubs!
If I were to buy those broadswords myself, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to afford them even when I'm old and gray.
"Good! Don't worry, old village chief, I guarantee it will be completed quickly and well!"
The old village chief was relieved. With the two gates, the main gate and the back gate, which had been unresolved for a long time, he felt at ease and said, "The remaining twenty gates will be awarded to whoever finishes building them first."
The division between Fan Qian's and Zhang Tuzi's families couldn't be completed, so it's not included here.
There are only twenty, so it's impossible for every household to have one.
The crowd that had been watching the spectacle scattered in an instant!
They need to finish building their fence quickly so they can get one of the remaining twenty.
They discovered that cheating and shirking are the most useless things, while diligence and hard work will bring rewards!
This reward wasn't based on luck, but on Fan Jinshuiqing and the old village chief. Following them brought rewards and ensured no losses.
The crowd quickly dispersed, leaving only a few members of Fan Qian's family and Zhang Chunhua.
Fan Qiansun Jinhua's face was so dark it was almost dripping with water. She was annoyed that she hadn't gotten any benefits, and she also resented her younger brother and his wife for not helping their own family.
Fan Erzhu was filled with deep regret!
He used to have one of those big swords, but it's gone now, and he probably won't get one again.
The old village chief must have done it on purpose; no wonder he was so easy to talk to!
And then there's Grandma. He shouldn't have listened to her. If he hadn't made a fuss, the old village chief would have given his family a share no matter what.
What kind of mess is this?!
Fan Sanzhu and Sizhu are alright, but the thought of not being able to wield a big sword and show off their power makes them a little disappointed.
It doesn't look good if other stores have it and yours isn't.
As for Zhang the Bald's family, they don't have any either. How can Zhang the Bald compare to them? Their family has lived in a brick house for a long time, and their ancestors were once wealthy, while Zhang the Bald still lives in a thatched hut. He is the poorest and laziest person in the whole village!
Zhang Chunhua wasn't too concerned about knives; she simply didn't like them.
However, considering that men all like knives, my father, younger brother, and Hu Wenhua must all like them very much.
If she received it and gave it to Hu Wenhua, wouldn't Hu Wenhua be incredibly moved?
No, that's not right. These dozens of broadswords were originally a gift from his sister, so he definitely has them!
Father knows he'll be unhappy if he doesn't have one, and when he's unhappy, he'll scold and beat her. If Hu Wenhua gave him one, he'd be overjoyed...
