Ke's mother sneered, "Then go ask the organization whether this gender-changing drug is real or fake."
"Let's see if you can come back unscathed!"
That's perfect; each side has a weakness, so neither is afraid of the other.
Dong Youlan was somewhat unwilling, so she could only say fiercely, "You're not allowed to cause any more trouble here, or I'll call the officers from the station to take action again!"
"Did you drive this road, or did you plant these trees? Am I not even allowed to speak here?" Mother Ke sneered through her nose. "Go ahead, what am I afraid of?"
"I'll also ask your prized son-in-law if the medicine he took from my husband helped him get promoted and make a fortune!"
Dong Youlan panicked. Two days had passed, and the medicine had been delivered to several places. Although it was delivered secretly, secrets always find out. If people found out that the medicine came from the Ke family, then Ke Qingshu's plot to murder his own brother would be confirmed.
Furthermore, if those who obtained the drug were to trace it back to Old Ke's family, what chance would they have?
"You, never mind, you've yelled quite a bit before anyway, since you have a good voice, keep yelling!"
After saying that, Dong Youlan slammed the door shut, then went inside to sulk without eating.
Neither Ke Qingshu nor the timid Ke Xingyue paid any attention to her. They continued to munch on the rare white steamed buns, slurp up the egg drop soup, and eat the pickled vegetables with sesame oil. They were blissfully happy in this cold winter.
Meanwhile, Ke Meiyu, standing outside the door, couldn't help but give her mother a thumbs up.
Everyone cheered.
The women of the Ke family have started a new round of war, with Wang Di, who is not afraid of making things worse and is very good at adding insult to injury, appearing on the sidelines.
The villagers didn't return home until the sky darkened and the north wind howled.
Wangdi's harvest was quite substantial. Not only the village children, but also the wives, aunts, grandmothers, old ladies, and even the men would bring back some good things from home.
You give a piece of candy, he gives a piece of pastry, and there are plenty of homemade, fragrant dried fruits. Wangdi welcomes all who come out, and with more people, there are naturally more things to offer.
It would turn its head away bluntly if it didn't want something bad, which amused everyone and made them laugh, saying that the bird was really clever.
The more it does this, the more excited everyone gets.
When Wang Di got annoyed, he yelled at the top of his lungs, "Are you going to feed the birds or not? If not, the birds have gone home!"
Then everyone quickly offered up the delicious food they had in their hands.
After finishing their tirade, the Ke family women felt refreshed and began discussing what to eat that evening.
Just then, a young man wearing a neat blue work uniform rode a bicycle to the village entrance.
"Comrade, who are you looking for?" A few people lingering at the village entrance couldn't help but step forward and ask.
The young man smiled and said, "I'm looking for Comrade Qin Yuanjiu from your Luofeng Village. May I ask where he lives?"
"Oh, they're looking for Ke Laosi's son-in-law! I know, I know!" Everyone perked up, vying to lead the way and continue watching the next exciting event.
"Comrade, where are you from?"
As the young man pushed his cart and followed the enthusiastic villagers, he patiently smiled and satisfied everyone's curiosity, saying, "I am an officer from the recruitment office of the brick factory in Huayuan Town. I came to find Comrade Qin to discuss the recruitment of workers for your village before the New Year."
A single sentence was like a firecracker exploding in the sky, leaving everyone stunned and its echo reverberating in their minds.
Recruiting workers before the Lunar New Year means a secure job for the young men of Luofeng Village!
Their Luofeng Village is separated from Huayuan Town by two mountains. The crops in the fields are average, and it cannot be considered a wealthy place. No good girls marry into the village, and no young men can get out through connections.
Strictly speaking, Luofeng Village has never produced any workers.
They had heard Qin Yuanjiu say that he had secured a spot for the village, but when the spot finally arrived, they were still so excited that they couldn't contain themselves. By the time they realized what was happening, many of them were jumping around in unison, and some even ran home to tell others.
Before the young man even reached Lao Ke's house, a huge crowd had already gathered outside Lao Ke's courtyard. Even the village chief and the village party secretary were rushing over in a panic, wearing coats and slippers.
"What's going on?" The Ke family had only gone back to their room to rest for a while when they saw that the walls were covered with people.
Everyone was shouting, "Where's your Xiao Qin? The people from the brick factory's recruitment office are looking for him!"
"Your son Qin is really capable. Our Luofeng Village will be a different place soon. Let him help us get a few more job openings later..."
Ke Meiyu whispered to Qin Yuanjiu, "Several of my cousins are helping with the brick-making. Could they take up a few spots?"
She was very protective of her own and showed no embarrassment at helping her relatives.
Qin Yuanjiu smiled and ruffled her hair: "Brick making is hard work, and doing it for a long time can have a certain impact on your lungs. However, it is a good place to train people. Only by being able to endure hardship can you achieve great things."
Ke Meiyu nodded repeatedly: "That's exactly what I mean. Once the brothers find other jobs, the vacant positions can be filled by others."
Nowadays, jobs are all one person per position. If one person leaves, you can recruit another to fill the position.
It is currently the off-season for farming, and people in the countryside are tightening their belts until the autumn harvest.
The idea of exchanging tractor rental orders in the provincial capital for permanent jobs needs to be considered in the long run. However, the brick factory has already started recruiting, so it wouldn't be a bad idea to let my cousins go in and get some experience.
Qin Yuanjiu smiled and whispered to her, "Don't worry, the firing method I provided to the brick factory is very valuable. It can make the most of the materials and save costs, and it can also greatly reduce the pollution to people and the air during the entire brick-making process. More importantly, the bricks fired are of high quality."
