Every village has a few bad apples. Kang Yueran said, "I'll tell Song Zhao that when the Wang family comes to collect the cloth next time, let Song Zhao personally inspect it. If it's not suitable, he can return it. Not only will he not accept it, but he will also make them pay for the materials. I wonder if there are still a few who dare to mess around."
"Yes, they should be made to pay compensation, so that they won't be so dissatisfied."
"What's wrong with Grandma Hong? She's so angry."
Kang Yuanchen put down his chopsticks. "I know about this. It was Kang Erbao from the village who came to Heshun Wharf looking for work under your name. Master Mu kept him in the restaurant to do odd jobs for you. But he was unwilling to do odd jobs and often ran to the customers.
"Master Mu wanted to fire him, but he yelled at you to help him vent his anger. When I found out, I took him away from Master Mu and sent him back to the village. I also apologized to Master Mu, but Master Mu didn't get angry at all."
Everyone was very quiet, looking at Kang Yueran quietly.
Kang Yueran smiled and said, "It's okay. Every village has a few disobedient people."
Kang Hong chuckled and said, "I will take good care of the people in the village in the future and won't cause you any more trouble."
"They can't give me any trouble."
Kang Yanshun took a sip of wine. "I'm glad you're not angry. When the villagers saw that you and Yuan Chen had made a name for yourself in the capital, they thought life there was easier, and everyone wanted to send their children there. Alas! It's not that easy to get by in the capital."
Kang Yueran continued, "So, as long as no one is killed, it's only right to let them suffer a little more. Brother Yuanchen, if they don't dare to look for me, they will definitely look for you. Don't be soft-hearted."
Kang Yuanwu snorted, "There are six people in our village working as clerks in the cart dealership. They are all arrogant and incompetent. When they see Brother Da Yan, they are more friendly to him than to me and my brother.
Moreover, the youngest of them is eight years old, and the oldest is only twelve. They are incapable of doing heavy work, so they can only sweep the shop."
Kang Yuanchen was embarrassed, "Brother Da Yan also agreed."
"Big Brother Yan is embarrassed to offend Sister Yue Ran and you. Big Brother Yan used to smile in front of them and roll his eyes when he turned his back. Now he is too lazy to even pretend and doesn't give them a good face at all."
Kang Yanshun lost interest in drinking. "Yuanchen, don't let them come to work for you after the New Year."
Kang Yuanchen also disliked those six people, "I know, Great Grandpa!"
"Let them have a good New Year first. After the New Year, when you return to the city, I will go door to door and tell them not to go to work anymore."
Kang Yuanchen is very similar to Xu Jiushi in this respect. Many times, he is clearly unwilling in his heart, but he can't bring himself to refuse for various reasons.
Kang Yueran said, "Grandpa, you don't have to worry about this. After the New Year, when Brother Yuanchen comes back from visiting relatives, have him go door to door and talk to everyone. He has to support the family in the future, so he can't be too soft-hearted."
Kang Yuanwu agreed, "I'll go with my brother after the New Year."
Kang Yuanchen didn't want to be outdone by his brother, "Okay, after the New Year, Yuanwu and I will go talk to him together."
Wang raised an eyebrow at Huang, "You have these two sons, you can enjoy a happy life for the rest of your life!"
"No, they are still young." Huang's mouth curled up, her eyes full of pride. She agreed with what Kang Yueran said and was willing to let Kang Yueran help her teach her son.
The next day, everyone in the village knew that Kang Yueran and his friends had returned for the New Year celebrations. A few young men came over and asked Kang Yuanchen to go hunting, but Kang Yuanchen didn't go. Since Kang Yuanchen didn't want to go, the others didn't dare to go into the mountains, and the hunting trip ended in vain.
Kang Yuanchen and Kang Yuanfeng brought back wine, meat and snacks as holiday gifts to several elders and Kang Hong's family.
On New Year's Eve, Kang Yueran and Kang Yuanfeng went to Beiguan Village and gave a holiday gift to the village head Guan Jishan.
Guan Jishan was flattered and said, "It's us in Beiguan Village who should thank you. How can we accept your gift?"
"I paid you and you worked for me, so we don't need to thank each other."
The villagers of Beiguan Village were very hardworking, so Song Zhao decided to keep some of them to continue working after the wasteland was tidied up. They were also Kang Yueran's employees, so they also received annual gifts.
Guan Jishan was very nervous, "Boss, our village..."
"I heard you've also opened up a piece of wasteland west of your village. That's great! If you want to grow sweet potatoes, you can go to Kaoshan Village and find Manager Xu Jiushi after the New Year and ask him to help you grow some sweet potato seedlings. If you want to grow cotton, you can sell it to the Wang family after the cotton is harvested."
Kang Yueran interrupted Guan Jishan. She liked the hardworking villagers of Beiguan Village very much, so she made her attitude very clear. She believed that reclaiming land was a good thing.
Aren't you here to call for justice? "Boss, what?"
He hardened his heart and said, "Because of the land reclamation in our village, we have had several conflicts with the people of Fengtou Village. Did you know that?"
"I heard what Song Zhao said, so I came to you today to tell you that the court encourages land reclamation. If anyone dares to stop it, you can go to the government office and sue him. Fengtou Village has many people and they have a lot of gossips, so don't take it to heart."
Several villagers from Fengtou Village came over to clamor, but Kang Hong always came to persuade them to go back. "Kang Lizheng and Manager Song were very good to us. Oh, Manager Song also helped with the matter of Guan Lao Si's family. He said it was the order of the eldest master."
It is precisely because of Kang Hong, Song Zhao and Kang Yueran that Beiguan Village has always been tolerant of Fengtou Village.
"Most people in Fengtou Village are surnamed Kang. It's inevitable that the village head wouldn't be cruel to his own family, but he's kind-hearted and fairly handles things. If you have any problems in the future, you can go to him. Don't be too tolerant. I'll make it clear to him in advance."
Guan Jishan had a difficult year. Some people in Fengtou Village always felt that they were superior to the people in Beiguan Village and often bullied the villagers in Beiguan Village.
When the villagers of Beiguan Village were bullied, they would go to Guan Jishan to complain, but many villagers needed the work of clearing wasteland, so he had to repeatedly persuade the bullied villagers to be patient.
Later, the villagers of Beiguan Village reclaimed wasteland on their own, but some people from Fengtou Village mocked them for overestimating their capabilities and did not allow them to grow cotton. It was Guan Jishan who mediated the situation.
Guan Jishan felt aggrieved and touched, "Thank you, Master."
"No need to thank me. As a Fengtou Villager, I should be the one apologizing to you. Guanlizheng, you have managed Beiguan Village very well. I believe that the villagers of Beiguan Village will be able to live a good life."
"Thank you for the compliment, Boss!"
Kang Yueran said sincerely, "I won't be wrong, Guan Lizheng, work hard, your good days are ahead. If there is anything you can't solve, you can also go to Song Zhao."
Song Zhao looked fierce, but he was actually quite good.
On the way back, Kang Yuanfeng asked, "Sister, is our Fengtou Village really that bad?"
Kang Yueran touched Kang Yuanfeng's head and said, "Human nature is very complicated. Some people are bad because they are forced by the situation. Some people are bad just because they are bad. You have to learn to distinguish them yourself!"
After returning home, Kang Yueran called Kang Yuanchen and the other three over and told them to find out what bad things the families in the village had done and why they did them.
She asked the four to write down the information after gathering it and give it to her before returning to Anzhou after the New Year. After the four accepted the task, they all looked for their former friends.
