Everyone was watching the fun at the farm. Seeing Song Youfu and his colleagues working hard, some villagers started gossiping.
"Have you heard? Luo Qiuju remarried."
Boss Song, who was shoveling the soil, paused for a moment, did not look up to ask, and continued to work.
Song Chu was not surprised at this gossip. How could a family like the Luo, who wanted to squeeze out all the value of their daughter, support Luo Qiuju?
She didn't ask, but others couldn't help but ask.
"Getting married again so soon? That's too fast."
"Who did you marry? From Xiaoba Village?"
"No, how could anyone from Xiaoba Village marry Luo Qiuju? If she did, she would be sucked dry by the Luo family. Everyone knows what kind of people they are."
"She married to Shanghe Village. I heard from my relatives in Xiaoba Village that the man is not only forty years old, but also has several children. However, he gave a betrothal gift of 150 yuan."
"Shanghe Village is too far away."
"Everyone in the nearby villages knows what happened before. Who would be willing to marry such a troublemaker?"
"Luo Qiuju is willing too?"
Is that woman mentally ill or stupid? The Song family is doing well, the eldest son Song is hardworking and capable, and most importantly, he treats her well.
She wanted to leave the Song family for her family, and now she was willing to marry a 40-year-old man? "What if she doesn't want to? She doesn't have the final say in her family."
"Anyway, she got married two days ago and was sent directly to Shanghe Village by her two younger brothers. She didn't even have a dowry or anything."
"The Luo family is too cruel. This is like selling their daughter!"
Someone carefully glanced at Song Chu and the other two, and seeing that they didn't react, he couldn't help but said, "Yes, it was sold twice."
"Tsk tsk, Luo Qiuju is just average looking, but I didn't expect the second-hand price is quite high, even more expensive than the betrothal gift money for a virgin girl."
"That guy has many children and no wife, so he spent money to buy a wife to take care of the children."
"What a sin!" Everyone was speechless towards the Luo family, and even more speechless towards Luo Qiuju.
She didn't want her own man and children, and insisted on supporting her parents' family. In the end, she was sold by her parents' family to become a stepmother.
The people in the village did not have much sympathy for Luo Qiuju's experience. It was her own choice and everyone felt that she deserved it.
This incident did not cause much waves for the Song family.
However, after hearing the rumors outside, Song Da Nv and Song Erwa became more sensible.
Song Erwa, in particular, is no longer just hanging out to play like before, but will take the initiative to help with things.
He was no longer selfish and domineering when it came to eating, and under Song Chu's guidance, he treated Song Danniu much better.
Many times, there is a price to pay for growing up and becoming sensible, and there is no way around it.
After the chicken coop at the farm was built, Song Chu had the chicken incubator moved over, and the machinery factory produced two more and pulled them over.
Song Chu wanted to complete the breeding farm all at once, so he planned to include the entire vacant land. He built separate areas for raising chickens, ducks, geese, pigs, and rabbits, and finally connected them into one.
The chicken farm has been built, and the rest are still under construction.
Another week later, two hundred chicks were hatched.
The ten people recruited by the farm have already arrived, both men and women, all of whom are diligent and capable or have experience in raising chickens.
Song Laosi exchanged a lot of bricks and tiles, and Song Chu also asked the villagers to renovate the oil press workshop.
After the chicks hatched, Song Chu began to organize the people in the oil press workshop to make tofu.
In addition to being able to exchange things, the main point is to feed the chickens with the dregs.
After more than a month of accumulation, the old people exchanged a lot of beans.
Song Chu recruited a lot of elderly people to make tofu.
It was also stipulated that there was no need to start too early, and everyone could come back at work time. Then there were about ten people working together, so it was much easier to share the work than working on the job, and everyone could do it.
There is no separate selection this time. All the elderly people in the village who are able to work can sign up. If they are not feeling well, they can take leave to rest at home, and benefits will be paid according to the number of working days.
For those who cannot do heavy work, oil presses and farms also arrange some light work for them, but the wages and benefits will be much less than those for other people.
But for these people, it is undoubtedly a kind of salvation, as they can finally stop being a burden to their families.
This also made Song Chu's reputation in the village rise to a higher level. Whenever the old people in the village mentioned her, they basically all praised her.
Now in Xiaba Village, anyone who says something bad about Song Chu will definitely be criticized.
The old people were very grateful to have such a job and made a lot of tofu in the morning.
"Chu Chu, what should we do with all this tofu? Send it to the city to exchange for something else?"
Song Chu smiled and said, "Let's let the villagers taste the tofu we made today. Every household can exchange work points for tofu. Let's have some fun together."
The elders were all very happy, "Chu Chu is a good person, she always thinks about the villagers."
"What should we do tomorrow? We can't ask them to exchange it with work points again." The old people were more concerned about Song Chu and the workshop.
Song Chu smiled and said, "Starting tomorrow, you can carry the tofu you make to other villages to exchange for beans, etc. If there is any extra, I will have someone take it to the factory in the city to exchange for other things."
"That's great. Let's make more tofu and exchange it with those big factories."
"Yes, yes. If the tofu doesn't keep, we can make some more tofu skin and dried tofu."
"I can make fermented bean curd. Would you like to make some in exchange?"
While working in the workshop, Song Chu was kind and caring towards these elderly people, and allowed them to express their opinions if they had any, so everyone started talking about it.
Song Chu's eyes were full of smiles. "This is good. It will be easier to make it into tofu skin, dried tofu, and fermented bean curd and sell it. It will also be easier to exchange it for other things."
"People say that having an old person in the family is like having a treasure. We have old people like you in our workshop, and you are all treasures. Your suggestions are very good, and we have adopted them all."
Many elderly people have become a burden and are even disliked by their families because they cannot go to work or do heavy work.
In addition to wanting to take care of the elderly, Song Chu does not feel that they are a burden. Although they work slowly, they are more patient and careful, have more experience, and will help with supervision, which she thinks is good.
After hearing what Song Chu said, the old people were even happier and more motivated. They decided to help her look after the workshop and get more soy products to exchange for other things.
During the lunch break, the village loudspeaker sounded, telling villagers who wanted tofu that they could go to the workshop to exchange it for work points.
There is no family that doesn’t want it. It’s actually not easy to get tofu these days.
You need a ticket to buy tofu in the city, and no one in the village would make it on their own, so we can only eat tofu a few times a year.
Now that they heard that the workshop could exchange work points, everyone excitedly took their basins and ran to the oil pressing workshop, making it extremely lively.
