The young widow turned her head and looked at Cao Lingyun.
Cao Lingyun just lowered his head, holding a pen and writing down the time in a small notebook. He looked like he was oblivious to the outside world and was only focused on reading the books of sages.
The young widow then asked Yang Wenyao in a low voice,
"Did Yuebai mention that when the working hours are increased, we can provide them with some necessary rest and physical replenishment?"
Yang Wenyao shook his head.
"Yue Bai didn't say anything about this. She just asked us to implement the rules that have been issued now."
The young widow took the baton in her hand and said to the wailing man in front of her,
"You heard it too. There's no provision for you to eat or rest. Now get to work."
"Of course you can continue to curse here, I don't care. Anyway, I will keep watching you here until you finish all the working hours."
The people in the foundation cursed much less.
But there are still some people who are muttering and cursing in low voices that no one else can hear.
But they underestimated Cao Lingyun.
After all, Cao Lingyun had been raised for such a long time by Shi Yuebai's crops and red ganoderma that were full of spiritual energy.
He is now very sharp-eyed and sharp-eared.
Even if those people were muttering and cursing, he could hear them.
Cao Lingyun lowered his head and wrote frantically in the small notebook.
I don’t know why, but the remaining people who were still clear-headed felt their scalps tingling when they saw Cao Lingyun lowering his head and writing frantically.
We are of the same root, so why are we so eager to fight each other?
I really don't know why Cao Lingyun abides by these rules and regulations so well?!
These rules are simply not something that a normal person can come up with.
They could understand why they should be punished for committing murder, arson, or stealing food.
But swearing and using bad words makes no sense at all.
However, no matter how much they object.
The young widow was ruthless and strictly enforced the rules and regulations posted on the wall.
There was nothing they could do. In order to avoid increasing their working hours, they could only start moving stones and digging soil on an empty stomach.
In fact, during this period, everyone had three meals a day and two snacks. Although they were doing heavy physical work, their bowel movements were much smoother because of the regular diet.
I am very tired during the day, and I sleep in a warm tent at night, so I don’t have time to think about anything else.
Fall asleep quickly.
With better sleep quality, you will naturally feel energetic the next day.
So it doesn’t matter if you skip a meal.
The young widow was holding a baton and wearing a police uniform.
Yang Wenyao and Cao Lingyun stood at the other end of the foundation, walking back and forth along the edge.
There were six pairs of eyes in total, staring straight at the people in the foundation.
It was like three magnifying glasses, waiting for these hundreds of people to make mistakes so as to increase the laborers' working hours.
The rest of the people looked at the person whose name Cao Ning had written down with sympathy.
About half an hour later.
Several old men came out from the second wall, each pushing a cart.
The cart was filled with a lot of ready-made foods, including potato chips, biscuits, canned food, mineral water... beautifully packaged candies, chocolates, hash browns, and so on.
Although these finished foods are expired, they are not spoiled.
Many of them even have their packaging intact when they are dug out of the ground.
The young widow stood on the foundation holding a baton and said to the coolies who were taking a break,
"Anyone who doesn't swear can come up and get their food. After eating, we can continue working."
Some people responded with their mouths, but their eyes rolled around in their sockets.
They neither ran to the open space nor lay down by the door of the second wall, peeking inside.
No swear words or uncivilized speech.
But I want them to finish their food and work hard.
There is no way they can be so honest and dutiful.
When receiving the finished food, many people exchanged glances that could only be understood but not expressed in words.
After they had eaten and drunk their fill, others went to work one after another.
But these sneaky people gathered in groups of three or four.
Although it looks like they are working, they are holding work tools in their hands.
But if you look closely, you will find that their digging movements are weak and feeble.
When moving stones, only pick up the smallest ones.
They would pile up those large stones in the same place and wait for others to come and move them away.
Even more so, because now the length of the foundation is stretched.
The people who were building the wall were still slowly building the three-meter-high wall in the back.
So Cao Lingyun, Yang Wenyao, and the young widow walked back and forth on both sides of the foundation.
It takes a long time for the three of them to pass through once.
These people calculated the timing of the three people's movements.
While the young widow, Yang Wenyao and Cao Lingyun are away.
They dropped the tools in their hands and sat down on the ground.
When Yang Wenyao and others were about to come over, they hurriedly pretended to be busy.
The young widow is a very experienced person.
She passed by this group of people several times and noticed their strange expressions.
To be honest, these people’s acting skills are good.
But because I was too serious, I was pretending that I was working hard.
So they are more prominent.
Until the fourth time, when the young widow passed by the group.
She frowned, turned around, and ran out into the open space with her baton in hand.
Go through the second fence and then cross the ditch.
The young widow found Shi Yuebai breathing in front of the public toilet.
"Are there any penalties to stop those who slack off?"
Because of the young widow's occupational disease, she thinks this is extremely unfair to the rest of the people.
Because everyone eats the same food and does the same work.
If these people slack off and hand over their workload to others, they will have it easy.
But other people's workload has increased invisibly.
The young widow had been disgusted by this phenomenon when she was building the city walls.
Now she works as a supervisor and keeps an eye on those people, wanting to do her part to change the current situation.
The young widow clenched her fists and said to Shi Yuebai,
"Among these hundreds of people, there are also those who are willing to reform themselves and want to live a good life."
"I can see that they are working very hard while eating."
"Yuebai, they haven't broken any of the rules you set out."
"Although there aren't many people like this, those who occupy the toilet without doing anything are lazy and are humiliating those who work hard to live a good life."
Shi Yuebai held a pen in his hand and wrote a rule on a piece of white paper:
[Slacking is prohibited. Anyone found to be lazy will be punished by having their work hours increased by one week.]
