Chapter 316: Going into the Mountains to Work 1
In the afternoon, Ziyi drove Han Youfu and Han Youfu to the foot of the mountain, and then walked them to the small hut in the mountains. Accompanied by Yike, he went to pick them up again.
Wang Feng, his girlfriend, her younger brother, and some beggars set out from another direction and finally met up at the hut.
Liu Bing brought his two close cousins and three cousins, the youngest of whom was only eleven years old. He also found some beggars. He led everyone around a long detour before entering the mountain at the side of an unknown mountain.
Dong Guoqing brought five little kids with him, all of whom were his cousins. This is the child of his cousin who has always taken care of him. His cousin just separated from his parents and left the house with nothing.
His cousin never had a son and only had eight daughters in total. The two youngest died, both of them starved to death.
My cousin was never liked by his parents at home and was even abused, otherwise his two little daughters would not have died. Finally, my uncle couldn't bear it anymore and asked the brigade cadres and the elderly in the village for help, and he was finally able to leave the house with nothing.
Dong Guoqing thought that making dried fruits in the mountainous countryside would earn more for more work, so he thought of bringing his older cousin into the mountains. He would let his cousin make as much as she could, and if it was not enough to pay for food, he would help out a little. Besides, life in the mountains is really good. My cousin can eat enough and good food when she goes in, so she can grow up well and there is no need to worry about her dying young.
Dong Guoqing had thought about giving food to his uncle. He had given food to his uncle when he just separated from the family. Then, when his uncle and aunt went to work, she went to his house and rummaged through the drawers and cabinets, taking away most of the food and leaving only a little.
When her cousin came back, he made a big fuss. The last word "filial piety" forced him to bow his head. The main reason was that she didn't dare to say that the grain was given by Dong Guoqing, for fear of tracing Dong Guoqing's speculation.
Later, Dong Guoqing didn't dare to give more, and at most he could only give enough food for one or two meals. When Yi Ke said he wanted to bring in a large number of people from outside the mountain this time, he thought of his cousin.
Although his cousins are young, they are all hard-working and can take care of themselves, so he dared to take them into the mountains.
Although Wang Feng, Dong Guoqing, Liu Bing and Ma Youcai all brought their closest relatives into the mountains, they also signed a confidentiality agreement.
Although this agreement has no legal effect, those people don’t know that if they really dare to violate the terms of the agreement, Ziyi has his own means of punishment.
Ma Youcai was generous this time. He not only brought several uncles, but also his aunt.
Yi Ke asked in surprise: "If you don't let your uncle and his family leave someone at home, what will happen if something happens at home?"
"My uncle gave the captain five yuan a month and asked him to help take care of them. Besides, the captain is their cousin."
"Was it your idea? Your uncle would never think of giving money."
"Yeah, you said money makes the world go round."
"Well, my brother-in-law is smart and will put his knowledge into practice."
"Hey, it's all because of your sister's good teaching."
"Knowing how good my sister is, I must treat her well."
"That's right. I'm very hardworking now. I don't even want to let your sister do the housework."
Ma Youcai already knew that Yi Ke had heard what he had said when he urged the boss not to favor her. Afterwards, Yi Ke caught him doing this and took advantage of the situation to get a severe beating.
He also listened to what his grandmother and uncle taught him about how to be truly good to his wife, and then listened to what his elder brother Ziyi said about how couples should get along, and finally he learned how to be truly good to his wife.
Ma Youcai was very grateful to Brother Ziyi. Without his guidance, he would have almost failed again.
Ziyi went to Wang Hongjun to help pick up someone. Wang Hongjun was in the provincial capital and couldn't leave, so he sent the person to his brother in the city and returned to the provincial capital.
Ziyi drove to pick them up and took everyone to a place where there were no villages around. He dropped everyone off on the roadside and Liu Bing, who was waiting there, led everyone into the mountains to meet at the agreed thatched hut in the mountains.
Li Haoran also brought people from Beishan Village to the straw hut. Among the people from Beishan Village were several sons and daughters-in-law of the team leader Wang Guoqing. Also coming were Wang Tietou and his children - eldest daughter Wang Pandi, sons Wang Jindan and Wang Yindan, and Wang Lihua, the daughter of the women's director.
The straw hut is a temporary base for hunters and cannot accommodate so many people.
But today the weather is fine, and everyone is sitting in groups of three or five in the shade under the trees.
Everyone watched quietly. Although they were very nervous, they did not dare to speak loudly.
Ziyi parked the car at Ma Youcai's house outside the mountain. When he walked to the thatched cottage, Li Haoran and Yike had already taken the pulse, examined the bodies, and registered the identities of dozens of people there.
Thirty-four of these people were relatives of Ma Youcai and Liu Bing, and the rest were beggars.
This time, most of the beggars were men. Ma Youcai quietly explained: Generally, the women who were healthy and could have children were married.
Yike sighed in his heart, in any era, there is never too many women.
Li Haoran led everyone into the mountains, and everyone carried a quilt, which Ziyi had bought for these people to cover themselves with when they entered the mountains.
In Ziyi's words, they can carry them themselves and use them as covers at night, and we don't have to get them. There are so many quilts and we don't have enough manpower.
Also brought into the mountain this time were things that Bu and Ziyi bought for Mr. Su for research purposes, and Ma Youcai and Liu Bing followed to escort them.
Seeing that he did not go into the mountain, Dong Guoqing became anxious, and hurried over to find Yi Ke. He told Yi Ke about the situation of his cousin's family and his plans, and repeatedly assured Yi Ke that if his cousin did not make enough money for meals, he would make up for it himself. Finally, she requested that he be allowed to accompany her into the mountains so that if her cousin couldn't walk fast enough, he could carry her on his back.
Yike looked at him as if he was a fool, which made Dong Guoqing feel uneasy. He quickly turned his gaze away to look at Ziyi, hoping that Ziyi could help him and say something good to him.
All the brothers knew that he had the final say on all matters in the mountains. Unlike that idiot Chen Shengli, who thinks Li Haoran is in control of everything.
Seeing that this "idiot" didn't understand what he meant, Yi Ke patiently said, "You must not have listened carefully during the meeting. Didn't I say that I would provide food and accommodation? When did I ever ask for money for meals?"
"I heard it, but my cousin is so young——"
"Stop, you've grown so big, why hasn't your head grown as well?"
Dong Guoqing: “???”
"I still don't understand, really. As long as you work and don't slack off, you will be provided with food and accommodation. If you are small and do less work, you will eat less. Even if you eat more, as long as you work hard, there is no problem."
