Chapter 262 Wait and See
"No, Grandma Chen, you misunderstood. The reason why Master Qin accepted Second Brother Chen as his disciple was because Second Brother Chen was talented. It has nothing to do with me." Shen Qingqian waved her hands repeatedly.
Even if she recommended him, if Chen Er himself had no ability, how could Mr. Qin accept him?
Old Mrs. Chen refused to listen to Shen Qingqian's explanation and said stubbornly, "That's because Chen Er mentioned your name, Sixth Miss. Otherwise, how would Old Qin know him?"
Last night, Chen Er came back and told his family the whole story. Old Mrs. Chen originally wanted to wait until the matter was settled before thanking Shen Qingqian, but now that she had come to this point, she naturally said thank you first.
Seeing her like this, Shen Qingqian didn't know what to say, so Wu turned to ask about the Wang family.
"Wang family," Old Lady Chen frowned. "Logically speaking, it wouldn't be a big deal if we didn't take their family with us. However, if things go on for a long time, rumors might start to spread, and if they get to Chief Lu and the others, that wouldn't be good for us. I think we should just follow the three rules you mentioned and wait and see!"
The so-called rumors are spread over time, and if the rumors are spread for a long time, they may be completely inconsistent with the facts.
Old Mrs. Chen had the same idea as many people: just wait and see. If the Wang family dared to make trouble again, she couldn't blame them.
In the evening, the heads of more than a dozen households gathered at the Shen family, and the Wang family was naturally there too.
Wu proposed the three rules, and everyone supported it. From that moment on, the Wang family had once again joined the collective.
As the head of the family, Mrs. Wang bowed to everyone with tears in her eyes, "Thank you, thank you everyone. My Wang family will definitely live up to your trust in the future."
She couldn't help blushing when she said this. The Wang family was really too strict in the past. From now on, she must keep her family members under control!
"You can work with us, but your family didn't participate when we built the brick kiln before. What about building the house later?" someone suddenly said.
What is important in collective life is fairness. The Wang family did not participate in the construction of the brick kiln. If they now join in and directly enjoy the results, of course some people will have objections.
"Don't worry, everyone. We will never take advantage of you. Our family didn't participate before, so starting from tomorrow, we will be responsible for firing the kiln. There are many people in my family, so we can definitely take turns!" Old Mrs. Wang said hurriedly.
It was impossible to ask her to give up building a brick house, and her family had no money or things to exchange, but this incident could be used to test the changes in the Wang family.
"Can you handle it?" Ma Laosi stood up and questioned, "Don't forget, we don't just fire the kiln, we also have to prepare the ground, make bricks, and make clay barrels. There's so much more to it!"
No wonder he was so suspicious. It was because the Wang family was too lazy in the past. Everyone was afraid that they would suddenly quit halfway through the work. Then they would have to make new arrangements, which was troublesome just thinking about it.
"I can handle it, I definitely can!" Old Mrs. Wang didn't dare to say no and nodded in agreement.
At this time, Shen Qingqian suddenly spoke up, "Firing a kiln is a technical job, not everyone can do it, Grandma Wang, you should just follow my instructions."
The person who burns the kiln does not just light the fire and call it a day. He also has to watch the temperature and judge whether the bricks and tiles inside are burned through based on the temperature and burning time. Not just anyone can do this.
Shen Qingqian also had only a vague understanding of this, so she had already planned to make a deal with Wu Laoliu in the opposite yard.
