The village chief said: "During the Ming and Qing dynasties, no one had this intention. Everyone was happy and willing to work. This is something that benefits the village."
Old Man Zhang also said: "Indeed, it's okay for us older generations to not have electricity, but won't our future generations also need it?"
"Zhao Guiying, Wang Mazi, what you two old people said was too harsh."
"That's right. When other villages get electricity, our village will be completely dark. We won't even have a place to cry when that happens."
"If you think about it carefully, it will benefit everyone, thanks to Ming and Qing."
"The last time I went to town, after dark, almost every house had lights on and it was as bright as day."
Everyone talked about it, and most people thought it was a good thing that would benefit themselves.
The team leader shouted sharply, "Everyone, be quiet. Let's use this time to talk it out. If anyone doesn't want to work, just tell us. We won't force them. But from now on, everyone will have electricity at home, but those who don't work won't be able to use electricity and will have to use kerosene lamps and candles."
No one spoke after this.
They didn't intend to quit, they were just complaining.
If Li Mingqing really gives them money, wouldn’t that be a profit?
Wang Mazi and Zhao Guiying had thought about this a long time ago, and now they finally had the chance to speak out.
But they didn't expect that few people were willing to accept their favor.
Li Mingqing didn't say another word. This was a village matter and naturally the village chief and the team leader would handle it.
If he was in charge, he would just do it.
If you don't understand what people say, you will be beaten and learn your lesson.
Lin Yan sat there and felt that the wound on his head had healed much better. His face was covered with blood and he opened his eyes uncomfortably.
Lin Zhaodi asked with concern: "Dad, are you okay?"
"fine."
Wang Dafeng felt relieved when she saw that he spoke as usual.
She stood there without daring to speak. She was the one who really grabbed her husband's head and split it open.
Lin Jinbao shouted as if nothing had happened and wanted to go home for dinner.
Even though Lin Yan had never hit Lin Jinbao before, he couldn't help but pat his arm now.
Seeing so many people gathered at his door, Li Mingqing prepared to close the door and let the guests go.
"Everyone, go do what you need to do. You can't find any money at my doorstep. If you have anything to say, go talk somewhere else, not at my house."
Many people left one after another.
Old Lady Xu pulled Wang Dahua forward and said, "Jiaxue, our family is going to help with the work. You have nothing to do at home, so please look after Yaozu for us."
She not only dares to think but also dares to speak.
I have never seen such a shameless person who wants to take advantage of every opportunity to become a godparent of the Li family.
Sun Jiaxue looked at Li Mingqing.
Li Mingqing then said, "Yaozu is your Xu family's child and has nothing to do with our Li family. You sit at home all day doing nothing, don't you even take care of your own grandson? How can you be a grandmother like this?"
"I just wanted to help, nothing else."
"Then tie Yaozu to your back and take him with you."
She was just talking. She was so lazy that she definitely wouldn't help.
She didn't go to work in the fields during the busy farming season, and it was even more impossible for her to do this work without any work points.
The village chief said, "Old Xu's family, it's getting dark, let's leave quickly."
At least it was the village chief who gave the order, so Old Lady Xu pulled the stiff Wang Dahua away again.
"Are you stupid? You don't even know how to say a word. You have to rely on me for everything. I really owe you in my previous life. Tell me, what's the point of our Xu family marrying you?"
Xu Dagou said, "Mom, why don't we just forget about it."
"What's the point of calculating? Just being related to the Li family means you can have a good life. If you can't succeed once, try again. If you can't succeed twice, try again three times. Nothing is difficult for those who set their minds to it. If you try hard enough, the Li family will naturally relent. I just hope Sun Jiaxue is pregnant with a girl so she can adopt a godson to complete the Chinese character 'good'."
Seeing that Sun Jiaxue was easy to talk to, Old Lady Xu thought there was still a chance of success.
But after Sun Jiaxue was cheated by Wang Dahahua last time, she no longer trusted the Xu family.
Li Mingqing is even more impossible. He will not create a burden for himself and will not give the Xu family the possibility of sucking his blood.
Seeing that most of the people had left, the village chief and the team leader said embarrassedly: "Ming Qing, we didn't handle this matter well, please don't take it to heart."
"It's okay, stumbling a bit is normal."
"Hearing you say that, we feel relieved. As for the ideological work done on the remaining families in the village, we will do it."
After saying that, the two left together.
Seeing that no one was around, Lin Yan stood up and said, "Thank you for your help. It's a good thing you came back early, otherwise I would have lost half as much blood as before."
"It's okay. It's what a doctor should do. Don't touch the water. Come back in two days to change the dressing."
"Okay, I understand."
Seeing him and Wang Dafeng about to leave, Li Mingqing said, "Brother Lin, the medical expenses haven't been paid yet."
Wang Dafeng said awkwardly: "We are all acquaintances, do we still need to give it to him?"
"One thing is another."
She wanted to say a few more words but was glared at by Old Lady Lin.
Old Lady Lin took out a dollar from her pocket and gave it to him. She asked, "Mingqing, is my son's head injury okay?"
"It's okay, nothing vital was hurt."
"You're charging a dollar even though there's no damage to any vital parts. You don't have any money at home."
Wang Dafeng muttered softly.
Li Mingqing heard it clearly and said, "You're poor and you think you're right. This is the first time I've heard of a woman nodding at her man. They don't look like husband and wife, but more like enemies. If anything goes wrong, you'll go to jail."
Lin Yan pulled her towards home and said, "I'll settle the score with you when we get back."
Don’t air your dirty laundry in public. Go home and tell everyone if you have any questions.
