Chapter 108 Team Ranking
As soon as Wang Fugui finished speaking, the people present had different expressions.
Zhao Mingyue was the first to jump up and cursed, "Bullshit! My Jiang family occupies four households, which is nearly half of the village. How can we arrange them so that it's not biased? Should all four households be at the front and back of the team?"
Needless to say, the head and tail are the most dangerous.
Boss Zhao frowned and scolded, "We're from the same village. Before we set out, we agreed to follow the village chief's orders. You said yours should be in the middle, so I said mine should be in the middle too. Everyone should be in the middle, so how do you expect the village chief to arrange things?"
"We agreed to form a voluntary team. If you are not satisfied, don't join. No one forces you!" Feng Meng thought of the frustration he had suffered while helping the Wang family pull the cart along the way, and he became angry and said rudely.
Whose cart could be as high as his Wang family's? Well, he had already pulled it to Yangcheng, so he could have explained what he said. Later, he would see who in the Wang family could pull a cart piled that high!
He is not a very mean person and he will not be taken advantage of by the Wang family anymore.
Zhang Heshun quickly lowered his head to hide the upturned corners of his mouth.
It would be best if Wang Fugui took the lead, as this would be a good opportunity to test the sentiments of every household in the village, so that he would know how to speak and act in the future.
According to him, Wang Fugui is also a fool. He should just say that the village chief cannot be partial and arrange positions for his own family members. This way, at least it is for the benefit of the entire village. But he has to add his own family in the middle.
So stupid and unaware.
Shen Qing's gaze shifted from Wang Fugui to Zhang Heshun, who was lowering his head.
Compared to Wang Fugui, who was stupid and bad and didn't know how to hide his behavior, she felt that Zhang Heshun, who was weak and bad, was more dangerous.
Wang Fugui originally thought that his family had suffered heavy losses from the robbers, and that the villagers would take care of his family. He thought that it was reasonable for his family to be in the middle, and that they would even take the initiative to put his family in the middle without him even mentioning it.
He also fought for them and stood up for the village chief to prevent him from being partial. Unexpectedly, instead of being grateful, they targeted him!
All I can say is that good intentions don't bring good rewards, and I can make him look like a bad guy.
He angrily said, "My kindness is being taken for granted! Then let's just draw lots. Whatever you draw is what you win. It's fair, so don't complain!"
Granny Qin shook her head, her eyes filled with disappointment: "Fugui, it's fair, but if you put us in the front, will we know which way to go when we encounter a fork in the road?
Do we all stop and wait every time we come to a fork in the road, running back and forth to ask the village chief for his opinion before setting off again?"
"Jincheng, where we are going, is quite far away. It is said that the winter is extremely cold and long. If we don't get there early to build a house, set up a kang, and store firewood, the whole family will freeze to death in winter.
"If you don't understand anything, don't make trouble and just talk nonsense!" Feng Meng said angrily.
Several carpenters at Hongmingguan nodded in unison.
Wang Fugui was being rebuked. He still expected Feng Meng to pull the cart for his family, so he didn't say anything back. Then he realized the loophole in Granny Qin's words and said, "Granny Qin, according to what you said, only the village chief and his family can lead the way?"
Grandma Qin didn't expect her to speak so long. Wang Fugui only grasped this point and took a deep breath.
Mr. Jiang, who had been listening to them quietly, suddenly said, "Our family is indeed at the front."
Wang Fugui raised his chin with a triumphant look, and the corners of his mouth turned up.
The next second, Master Jiang said, "Fugui, your family is at the end of the team."
Wang Fugui was stunned. It was dangerous to be at the forefront, but it was not safe at all to be at the back of the team!
He widened his eyes and stuttered, "Village Chief, I...
Master Jiang glanced at him and asked calmly, "Why? My family can be at the front, but yours can't be at the back?
Your family has a lot of heavy stuff, so no matter who's ahead of you, if you walk slowly it will affect the others. If you fall behind, wouldn't it be dangerous to drag down the others as well?"
The other people present hurriedly nodded in agreement!
Wang Fugui asked in surprise, "Then my family is in danger too! Wouldn't it be even more dangerous if I'm the only one left behind?"
"So you have to keep up with the team, and everyone in the family has to contribute and not delay." Master Jiang replied calmly without any panic.
He had noticed during the past two days on the road that Wang Fugui's family, relying on their neighborly friendship, knew that they would not abandon him, so they deliberately dragged their feet. If Feng Meng had not moved most of his belongings for his family, he would probably not have reached Yangcheng by tomorrow evening!
He saw that Feng Meng was really heartbroken. It was impossible for him to help in the rest of the journey. The Wang family could only be left at the end. If he could catch up, he would catch up. If he couldn't... he couldn't ignore the safety of other people in the village for the Wang family.
Sometimes we give up something in order to go further.
Shen Qing knew that Jiang Yang valued the friendship between fellow villagers, and was afraid that he would be soft-hearted because of their fellow villagers. She didn't expect that he could catch the big one and let the small one go.
That is to say, he agreed to form a team and did not forcefully not include the Wang family. However, he did not tolerate them when they acted up, and he firmly and forcefully placed the Wang family at the end of the team!
The old saying is right, kindness is not suitable for commanding an army and righteousness is not suitable for commanding wealth. The person who leads a team should be like Jiang Yang.
Wang Fugui refused to agree and immediately jumped up, stiffening his neck and shouting, "Why is my family at the end? Let alone falling behind, what if some disaster victims or refugees deliberately fall behind, rob us and run away?
I don't agree. Whoever wants to stay at the back can stay at the back. My home is not at the back anyway."
"Okay, didn't we meet people from Shili Village on the way? We will probably arrive in more than an hour. You can team up with them, or you can team up with whichever team you like. I don't care anyway." Jiang Yang narrowed his eyes and looked at Wang Fugui who stood up, and said coldly.
Wang Fugui was speechless. He looked around and found that no one spoke for him.
Teaming up with other villages? They'd either be the vanguard or the tail end, and most importantly, no one would come to help them if something went wrong!
He sat down again silently.
Zhang Heshun lowered his head even more.
The scene quieted down, and Jiang Yang continued, "My family will lead the charge, followed by Shen Qing, Guan's family, Qin's family, Feng's family, Hong's family, Zhao's family, Zhang's family, the fifth family, the third family, and Wang's family."
The fifth and third brothers can take care of each other, the Wang family cannot be relied upon, and the safety of the rear of the team still depends on the fifth and third brothers' families.
The Wang family is a problem, and the fifth brother's family cannot cope with it, so the third brother's wife Zhao Mingyue will not suffer any loss.
The Hong family and the Feng family are neighbors. They have gotten along well for more than ten years and were relieved to see their families being arranged together.
When Granny Qin thought of the strong and warm-hearted Feng family, she felt even more secure.
The Zhao family was also very satisfied, as they were in the middle position.
Although Zhang Heshun felt that his family's location was too far back, when he thought about the Wang family, which had been cut off from the rear, he felt that his family was not so bad after the comparison.
Feng Meng scratched his head and asked embarrassedly, "Village Chief, it's not good for my house to be in the middle, right?"
Shouldn't the middle be where the weakest and most in need of protection should be placed? It doesn't look right for his family to be in the middle.
