Chapter 15: Little Six
The three of them spent most of the night cleaning up the house until it was habitable. Afterwards, they simply washed up and went back to their own rooms to sleep.
The next morning, not long after dawn, he saw a person standing outside the yard. Who else could it be but Erzi? Jiang He walked out while putting on his clothes.
"Ah..." Gao Youhui on the other side yawned and walked out, followed by Lu Mingfeng.
"The village chief asked me to take you over." Erzi left this and turned around.
"Got it." Gao Youhui saw that the man still had a deadpan expression, so he didn't get angry. "What's wrong with this kid? Why doesn't he talk to us? How much does he dislike us?"
"You can't tell, he's almost showing his unhappiness on his face." Jiang He shrugged, "Let's go to the village chief first. I guess he's still not very happy."
"Oh, then hurry up." Gao Youhui urged hurriedly.
The three of them hurried to Grandpa Liu's house. As soon as they walked in, they heard Grandpa Liu squatting on a stone as big as a millstone smoking a pipe. After seeing the three of them, he said, "You just came here and can't light a fire yet. Eat at my place for the next two days. I'll ask my second son to build a stove for you."
"Thank you, Uncle Liu." No matter what, since the other party didn't give them a cold shoulder, Jiang He and the others didn't want to break up with him.
After the three of them finished breakfast, they saw a few people sitting in the courtyard. Dozens of people came one after another, including both men and women. They all looked like villagers. Even Zhao Xiaoxue and her two daughters followed.
"Ahem! Everyone knows about the higher-ups sending people down. It's been so long since that happened, so bringing it up now is not a big deal." After saying that, Uncle Liu took a few puffs of his cigarette before speaking again, "I brought you here this time to ask if any of your families are still short of labor. Let's match them up today."
As soon as Grandpa Liu said this, the whole circle of villagers exploded. Everyone looked left and right, and soon a burly man came out. He glanced at Jiang He and said, "Village chief, I'm going to say this in advance. If these people have any ideas that they shouldn't have, don't blame me then." As he said this, he glared at Jiang He. I've been annoyed with this little guy for a long time.
"I..." Seeing the man's unfriendly eyes, Gao Youhui was a little angry, and was about to reply, "Do you have something that makes me interested?", but was suppressed by Lu Mingfeng.
"This..." Uncle Liu turned his gaze to the three people, and Jiang He said directly, "I don't know what the predecessors did here, but I also want to say something. What if someone commits a crime? What if we are blamed?"
"What are you talking about? Everyone in our village is honest." As soon as Jiang He finished speaking, a man rushed up from inside. The man's eyes were red and he almost bit him to death.
Jiang He looked at the man's appearance, recalled some fragments he heard last night, and combined with the man's reaction after he just said this, suddenly an incredible idea sprouted in his mind.
His face changed into an expression. "There are good and bad people in this world. Some people are honest on the surface but cunning and deceive everyone. Some people do nothing but are hated by everyone. Do you think this is fair?"
