Cutting off someone's livelihood is like killing their parents.
They felt wronged, but they didn't want to blame Cheng Qingyan.
At this moment, they naturally turned their anger directly on Meng Changbei and Meng Xinyi, shouting and cursing to vent their dissatisfaction at losing their jobs.
The reason for saying this is to let those who are wavering know not to be easily provoked.
Following her and the village chief is the right way.
We need to gradually unite the scattered villagers into a cohesive force.
We must unite as one against external forces, expose those with malicious intentions, and be doubly vigilant against their underhanded tactics.
The crowd was furious, and Meng Changbei and Meng Xinyi were pushed and shoved around, looking quite disheveled.
This feud has now been definitively established.
However, Meng Xinyi had already been given a chance before. Unexpectedly, he showed no remorse and targeted them again this time.
Seeing that the desired effect had been achieved, Cheng Qingyan continued, "But! My wife is beautiful and kind-hearted. She just told me that what I did was wrong. We all live in the same village and should help each other."
"Moreover, people may have been misled by some people with ulterior motives."
“I think my wife is right, so those of you who worked at the chicken farm and fishpond before can come back to work tomorrow.”
"I just hope everyone remembers that we are all from Mengjia Village. No matter how I, Cheng Qingyan, have behaved in the past, the village chief and the village head will never harm anyone."
The village chief smiled and nodded. This kid Cheng San not only gave those restless people a warning, but also made the villagers of Mengjia Village more united.
He feels very gratified now, as he has not let down the village meeting he convened.
Moreover, Cheng Qingyan specifically mentioned Ye Lingyu's plea, which boosted his wife's popularity among the villagers.
Indeed, a person should be viewed with new eyes after three days of separation.
Moreover, after spending so much time together, he felt that Cheng Qingyan had indeed completely changed, inside and out.
Finally, five people were selected from the audience to form a patrol team, which patrolled day and night.
Cheng Qingyan agreed wholeheartedly, but felt that five people were still too few.
“Village chief, why don’t we select a few more people? The patrol team’s wages will be paid by me, not by the village.”
"It's like I'm employed, but it's not just about patrolling the factory every day. I also patrol the chicken farm and fish pond, and I'm also responsible for the village's security."
As soon as Cheng Qingyan said this, the villagers started to gossip.
What does this mean? Wasn't the purpose of calling a meeting with the villagers today to discuss who would pay the patrol team's wages?
If Cheng Qingyan had said she would pay from the beginning, they wouldn't have ended up like this!
Some villagers pointed at her and whispered among themselves.
Meng Xinyi stared at Cheng Qingyan with resentment. Perhaps it was because his gaze was too vicious, but after a chill ran down Cheng Qingyan's spine, he turned and glanced at him.
I was taken aback by his gaze. Was it really necessary?
She didn't say it was targeting Meng Xinyi or telling him to get out of the village.
Some villagers said it, but it has nothing to do with her, right? Why would anyone hate her over such a small matter?
His eyes looked at her as if he wanted to kill her.
One should always be wary of others, especially a petty and malicious one.
It's always good to remind Ye Lingyu and Jiang Jiang to be more careful.
The village chief picked and chose from among the able-bodied men, and finally settled on a patrol team of ten.
Meng Xinyu squeezed through the crowd, wondering if this patrol team was a bit over the top.
"Brother Qingyan, do you really need so many people to be in charge of patrols?"
"Of course, Brother Xinyu, do you have any other ideas?"
Meng Xinyu scratched his head and tentatively said, "Look, one person's salary is seventy coins a day, so ten people would cost seven hundred coins a day. Over time, that's quite an expense."
"Besides, I'll have someone keep an eye on the soap factory; there shouldn't be any problems."
Cheng Qingyan said seriously, "Brother Xinyu, you really need to put more effort into the safety hazard investigation at the soap factory."
"But it's better to be safe than sorry. I believe most people are kind-hearted, but we must also guard against the possibility of one person harboring malicious intentions."
Meng Xinyu could completely understand this.
Meng Changbei, who led the commotion today, is a notorious scoundrel from the nearby villages.
Having only been back in the village a few days ago, she actually got together with Meng Xinyi today. Who knows what kind of trouble these two will cause in the future? We definitely need to keep a close eye on them.
You can trust someone's good intentions, but you should be even more wary of someone's inexplicable malice.
Seeing that Meng Xinyu seemed to be deep in thought, Cheng Qingyan knew what he was thinking about and continued with what she had left unsaid earlier.
"The patrol team not only patrols during the day, but also needs to patrol at night."
“Chicken farms cover a large area, require extensive patrols, and take a long time to inspect, so they need to be closely monitored.”
"Specialized tasks should be done by specialized people. Only when the workers are well-rested at night can they concentrate on their work during the day. Brother Xinyu, we cannot lose sight of the bigger picture for the sake of small gains."
On that hillside, some chicks are now being raised in enclosures.
Because it's far from the village, feeding the chickens is inconvenient, so a wooden hut has been built for the people who work at the chicken coop to stay in.
Because of its proximity to the mountains and forests, it is easy to attract wild animals, so some traps were also set up near the chicken coop.
According to Cheng Qingyan's plan, in addition to chickens, other animals will be raised on the mountain in the future.
As the types of livestock and poultry increase, the size of the farm will also increase.
It is simply impossible to ensure the safety of a chicken farm day and night with just a few workers.
Meng Xinyu didn't say anything more about the patrol team.
The village chief was quite familiar with the villagers' abilities, so Cheng Qingyan immediately decided on the ten patrol team members he selected.
That concludes the matter.
The excavation of the fishpond is progressing smoothly, and the chicken coop already has chicks, so the construction of the chicken coop needs to be accelerated and improved.
On this day, Cheng Qingyan and Ye Lingyu took Jiang Jiang and Hongyu to the town, as a way to give themselves a break from their busy schedules, and also to the furniture shops in town to prepare some furniture for their new home.
They've been busy with things in the fields, fishponds, chicken coops, and other things lately, so they haven't been to town for a while.
Jiang Jiang's previous stock of snacks has run out several times already.
It was only when Ruan Banxia and Shen Ziyu came that Jiang Jiang brought some things with her; otherwise, Jiang Jiang would have already started making a fuss.
Sure enough, as soon as she arrived in town, Jiang Jiang unleashed her foodie instincts, happily wandering among her favorite snack stalls.
The weather in May is already like summer; you can feel the sun's heat as you walk down the street.
The summer heat has already quietly crept into the breeze, silently bringing with it a sweltering atmosphere.
While accompanying Jiang Jiang to buy food, Cheng Qingyan couldn't resist buying a folding fan when they passed a fan stall.
When I was a child, I watched period dramas and thought that folding fans were a standard accessory for scholars, along with long robes, wide sleeves, and a refined and elegant demeanor.
This is a scholar.
