Song Ruan returned home and immediately told her family about Zhang Caihong's affairs.
"Sister-in-law, you better be careful recently. Who knows what Zhang Caihong will do if she gets crazy."
Zhang Caihong's words and deeds showed the greatest hostility towards her sister-in-law. In addition, except for her sister-in-law and the children, everyone else in the family was a tall man who was not afraid of Zhang Caihong, so what she was most worried about was her sister-in-law.
"Yeah." After hearing this, Wu Xing nodded seriously.
She was not afraid of Zhang Caihong. If they really fought one-on-one, it was hard to say who would beat whom.
But she has a child now, a small and soft baby, which is her weak spot.
Mother Song also frowned and thought for a long time before coming up with a solution.
“How about this, during the coming autumn harvest, my sister-in-law and I will stay at home to take care of the children and cook, and you men will go to the fields. Then, at noon, I will not deliver the lunch, and you can send someone back to get it.
Anyway, the land is now distributed to each household. Except for the eldest son who has to take care of the team's work of recording the work, everyone else works in the fields at home, so only one person needs to come back to get meals.
It’s just that going up the mountain is a bit troublesome…”
Ever since their last pastry making skills were stolen by someone else, they have become much more careful when making food privately.
In order to conceal their tracks, they directly built a shed on the contracted hilltop and hired people to help with the work there. They only did some of the key steps, such as proportioning and adding ingredients, which were all done by their own people.
So the family always needs to send someone to the mountain from time to time, and each visit takes a long time.
"And me, I can deliver the food, and I will also protect my sister and my little nephew." Wu Lei on the side raised his hand and stood up.
"Yes, yes, yes, look how I forgot about our Xiao Lei." Song's mother quickly explained, "You usually go to school in town with your sister Song Ruan, I forgot about it."
Wu Lei was a thoughtful person, and Song Ruan was afraid that he might have some thoughts in his mind because of her mother's momentary neglect, so she quickly looked at him.
Unexpectedly, Wu Lei looked normal and even seemed happy.
He counted on his fingers and said, "In addition to delivering water and food, I can also look after the children, wash diapers, and go out to collect firewood and pick wild vegetables."
Wu Lei counted the things he could do one by one. His eyes, which had been somewhat dark before, were finally filled with bright light, allowing him to see a broader landscape.
Song Ruan breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the decision to let Xiao Lei stay away from the rumors in the village and go to school in town was the right one.
"Our Xiao Lei is really capable. Okay, then it's settled." Song's mother made the decision.
After the arrangements for the autumn harvest were finalized, Song Ruan reached into his trouser pocket, pulled out a piece of paper, and handed it to his family.
"What is this?" Song Wu asked curiously.
"Guess." Song Ruan curled her lips.
This aroused everyone's curiosity, and Song Wu quickly turned over the folded paper.
"Name: Zhou Liyi, postal address: Xiangshan Food Factory, Xiangshan City..."
Song Wu read out the words one by one, "Who is this person?"
Song Ruan raised her lips, remained silent and mysterious, with a somewhat smug expression.
The look of this villain's success made everyone laugh.
Song Wu was impatient and said quickly: "Oh my dear little sister, please stop keeping us in suspense and tell your good second brother what this person is used for."
In Song Wu's opinion, his younger sister always did things for a reason. She gave someone her contact address for no reason. It couldn't be that she was introducing a wife to him, right?
But this name obviously belongs to a man!
"It should be related to food." Song Wen looked at the contact address above and speculated, "Can this person help us solve the problem of food packaging?"
The peanut crisps they now mass-produce are all wrapped in cut greaseproof paper. Packaging is a big problem they face, after all, good packaging can greatly extend the shelf life of food.
"Big brother is still the smartest." Song Ruan praised.
"You can ask Brother Zhou for advice on food packaging, but don't trouble him too much. Just summarize the problems you encounter and write to him for advice."
As for things like opening a factory and buying production and packaging machines, they were not necessary now, so she didn't tell her brothers.
"That's great! If we can improve the packaging and extend the shelf life of food, I'm confident that we can get more factories to buy our food."
Song Wu spoke excitedly, and there seemed to be sparkling money symbols flashing in his eyes.
Seeing this, Song Ruan immediately took over the conversation, ready to be a hands-off boss, "Then second brother, you should summarize the problems during this period of time, and I will leave the communication with people to you."
Song Wu didn't realize that he suddenly had more work to do, but instead he couldn't wait to take action.
He patted his chest and said, "Okay, leave it to me."
"..."
After the discussion that night, everyone became more careful when going out.
But since then, Zhang Caihong has never appeared in front of them again. It was as if she had disappeared and she rarely appeared in the village.
As time went by, everyone gradually calmed down and focused on the autumn harvest and cooking.
In Dongshui Village, after experiencing a locust plague, the villagers welcomed their first autumn harvest, so everyone was very enthusiastic.
Especially since everyone secretly has their own land, they have endless energy.
Song Jin lost his job in the city and had no allowance, so he had to return to the village to work in the fields.
"Dad, why are we so scattered for the autumn harvest? Is it because I haven't been to the fields for so long that I don't remember how big the changes are?"
In the past, in order to facilitate supervision, everyone would concentrate on harvesting one area of the fields, and then move to the next one after harvesting one area.
But what about now?
The people in the entire village are scattered in various places, basically covering the fields of the entire village.
Not to mention supervision, sometimes you may not be able to find someone even after going around in circles.
What's even more bizarre is that the labor force is allocated based on the family unit, and the allocated areas are of different sizes. Doesn't this make it easier to steal women?
I don’t know what the village chief is thinking.
But what is strange is that almost no one in the village has any objection to this.
It really is weird everywhere.
Uncle Song straightened his back and said lazily, "How should I know? We can do whatever the village chief divides it. Anyway, every work point we can get counts as one."
If he hadn't been forced to work in the fields by that evil daughter-in-law, he would have been drinking and bragging with his brothers in town.
"If I had known this would happen, I shouldn't have married such a thing!" Thinking of Zhang Caihong's unreasonable and domineering behavior at home, Uncle Song felt so angry that his teeth were itching.
Song Jin paused and wanted to say something, but when the words came to his lips he didn't know how to say them, so he had to lower his head and work in silence.
Uncle Song didn't notice his son's strange behavior. He continued to mutter to himself and work.
