He Xiangxiu watched as the fourth son's family happily carried their two children into the house, and only then did she slowly withdraw her envious gaze.
Fang Qiaolan was cleaning up Liu Yun's mess, and when she got impatient, she couldn't help but peek outside.
Apart from the second son's family, the mother-in-law and the fourth son were nowhere to be seen in the yard.
He immediately stood up and shouted at He Xiangxiu, "Second brother's wife, why are you so lazy? Hurry up and help your fourth sister-in-law wipe herself down and then help her into the house."
Remember to clean up the woodshed when you come out. Ugh, I'm exhausted.
After giving He Xiangxiu her overbearing instructions, Fang Qiaolan patted her shoulder and walked away.
Anyway, Liu Yun is still unconscious, and her mother-in-law isn't there, so she didn't see anything. We can just say that we did it ourselves.
When He Xiangxiu heard her sister-in-law give such instructions, her envious gaze immediately dimmed, and her whole demeanor darkened.
However, she was always like this, and Fang Qiaolan didn't take it to heart at all.
As long as the second son's family does their job well, who cares about the rest!
Time flies, and a month has passed in the blink of an eye.
With the Lunar New Year approaching, the village is counting work points for compensation.
After each household receives a sum of money, they can have a prosperous New Year.
Of course, there were also those who lived hand to mouth and even owed money to the team.
Tan Dingguo called the accountant, who calculated the amount quite quickly.
After distributing the money, he tapped the table with his pipe and said to everyone, "Besides calling you all here to share the money, there's something else I need to announce."
Now that the government has issued regulations, each household and each person can only raise one chicken or duck; any additional chickens or ducks must be culled.
Upon hearing this, the people below, who had been happily holding their money, immediately erupted in uproar.
They have seen firsthand the benefits that the farm brings.
The daily income of the farm is now the envy of everyone.
Therefore, almost every household secretly caught more chickens and ducks to raise at home.
Although it can't compare to a farm, the money from selling the eggs laid by these chickens and ducks is all theirs.
Some families are reluctant to feed their chickens and ducks rice bran, so they drive them outside during the day to find their own food, and they never starve.
Even if they don't lay eggs when they grow up, they're still meat.
A chicken can be traded for a good amount of grain!
Many families were tempted to spend money and supplies to acquire these chicks and ducklings because the farms were doing well.
These chicks and ducklings are only half-grown, not even fully grown yet, and they have to be cut off. That's not just cutting off chickens and ducks, that's cutting off their flesh!
"Village chief, how can this be? We're raising chickens and ducks, what's it to anyone?"
One of the disgruntled women jumped up and shouted angrily at Tan Dingguo.
The others nodded in agreement.
When Tan Dingguo received this notification, he was also very unhappy.
Moreover, he was very fortunate that the village's breeding farm was collective property, otherwise it would have been harvested as well.
While some are dissatisfied, others are naturally gloating.
In the village, there were poor bachelors who couldn't even afford to eat, the kind who only needed to feed themselves to support their families.
Lai Chunsheng, who lives in a thatched hut on the north side of the village, is one such example. He is already in his thirties, but he is lazy and loves to eat.
Because he had scabies on his head, people were used to calling him "Scabies Man".
In this division of labor and money, he received a little over 2 yuan. What can he do with that money?
Before, he could have followed Wang Laowu around and freeloaded off him.
But now I hear that Wang Laowu did too many bad things and got struck by lightning.
Lai Zi felt uneasy upon hearing this, knowing that he had done many unethical things while following Wang Laowu.
