Chapter 383: The Fisherman's Benefit



Zhou family.

Song Yuehua and Xiaobao came to visit Grandpa Zhou with some Baihua Cakes.

"Xiaobao won a lot of snacks playing chess, and he said he wanted to give you a taste of the first one."

Grandpa Zhou laughed and said, "You are such a capable kid. You can even win snacks by playing chess."

Xiaobao giggled, a little shyly. Outside, Chen Shu, Chen Lin and Chen Jiali just came back from school.

Seeing Xiaobao in her home, Chen Jiali ran in happily, took her hand and said, "Why haven't you come to the school these few days? I made straw lanterns yesterday. I'll take you to see them."

Xiaobao nodded and said, "Okay, I also brought you some biscuits, let's eat and play at the same time."

The two of them greeted Grandpa Zhou and Song Yuehua, then ran outside holding hands.

"Where is Dabao?" Chen Jiali asked.

"I went to fight with Brother Ma Hu."

“Tsk…”

Song Yuehua asked Zhou Lizheng again, "Have you felt better recently?"

"Much better. Doctor Hu works hard to give me acupuncture every day." Grandpa Zhou said as Lin brought over a plate of malt sugar.

Grandpa Zhou said, "Boil two more bowls of egg water and give them to the kids to try."

"No need, I'll go back and cook later."

Song Yuehua wanted to decline, but Grandpa Zhou smiled and waved his hand, "It won't take up space."

When Zhou Dafu came in, Song Yuehua told him the purpose of her visit.

"Baozi was frightened before and didn't dare to look for people from the village. He planned to find people from outside to come in and work. Uncle Dafu, did he come and tell you about this incident?"

Zhou Dafu said, "He didn't come to see me, it seems he went to see someone in the village."

Song Yuehua said, "You should go and talk to him about this matter. The situation is not clear right now. It's not safe for outsiders to come in, and he needs a lot of people. It's better to find women in the village to work."

"Daya, do you mean outside..." Zhou Dafu's expression became nervous.

Grandpa Zhou coughed lightly and said, "The situation outside is definitely not good. Even though it seems to be calm for a while, it is not certain that something will happen. As the head of the village, you have to consider the villagers."

Song Yuehua smiled gently, the older you get, the wiser you get.

"The women in our village are not only strong, but also meticulous in their work. The kind of thing that happened before would definitely not happen again, and it would not pose any threat to Baozi. It's a great way to kill two birds with one stone." Song Yuehua said.

Zhou Dafu suddenly seemed to have come to his senses. He stood up and said, "Daya, please sit down first. I'll go out for a while."

After saying that, he ran away in a hurry.

"Even though he's the head of a village, he still doesn't know how to be steady." Grandpa Zhou sighed.

Lin brought in some egg water. Song Yuehua took it, drank the egg water, and chatted with Grandpa Zhou for a while. Seeing that the old man was in good spirits, she felt relieved.

The two talked about the chess hall in the county for a while. After hearing Zhou Xiaohu delivering food to a few people and selling food in the chess hall, Lin asked, "Do you need help, Xiaohu? How about I go over and give him a hand?"

Grandpa Zhou said, "He has just started this business, so he doesn't need so many people. When he really wants to help, he can ask Xiaocao if she wants to go, and give her the wages."

Lin couldn't figure it out for a moment, so she could only nod her head at her father-in-law's words.

Bao family.

Baozi listened to Zhou Dafu's words and started to think about it.

The head of the village said that the situation outside was not clear. It was hard to tell whether this was true or not, but after all, it had only been a few months since the disaster ended, and it was indeed not necessarily safe outside. But if the situation before happened again...

He couldn't say for sure about that.

Zhou Dafu had a legitimate reason not to let him find outsiders to work. It was unnecessary to force him at this time. The land was in the village, and he was also a member of Taoyuan Village. He could not go against the entire village.

But a few places still have to be reserved for people from other villages.

And since Zhou Dafu had brought it up, he didn't hesitate and started looking for women. There were originally more than ten men, and now there were more than 20 women.

When men gather together, bad things tend to happen; women are not so impulsive. They worry too much and think too comprehensively, so they are not afraid.

Men and women are like white and black pieces on a chessboard. As long as women become the main force, men will definitely not accept it, and their minds are all on women.

If Old Man Ren stirs up trouble, no one will have the energy to target him as the boss.

Baozi said helplessly, "I am also from Taoyuan Village. If it weren't for what happened last time, I would not be willing to hire outsiders to work. Now that the head of the village is guaranteeing us, of course we should let the people from our village come first."

Zhou Dafu left only after getting the buns and answering the call.

Baozi was drinking tea when Yao Er came out from behind, fanning himself and asked, "We won't starve to death for a while, so why don't we plant the land later? If it's like last time, how can you continue to be the boss?"

"The indentures between the two of us have been cancelled, and our household registration has been changed to Taoyuan Village. We are now people of Taoyuan Village. In the future, if you don't give them any benefits, your words will have no weight in the village."

Baozi preached without even looking up, "Besides, who said I don't want people from other villages? There are 4 men from this village, 20 women from this village, and 6 men from other villages. Their positions are completely different. Let them fight among themselves, and I will reap the benefits. Isn't that wonderful?"

"What stance? What struggle? I don't understand what you are saying." Yao Er leaned back in his stool.

Since following Baozi, Yao Er didn't have to do anything all day. Tian was there to take care of the children and cook. She became more and more beautiful.

Baozi pulled the person over and said with a smile, "If you don't understand, then you don't understand. Just be beautiful."
