The rural doctor bought a husband who was very treacherous

Chapter 60 They Should All Be Behind My House

When looking for people to open up new land, the most lacking thing is manpower.

In order to speed up the work, Su Tang asked Old Man Su to find Village Chief Liu and tell him that he only wanted honest and hardworking strong laborers, regardless of quantity.

This made Village Chief Liu very happy.

He also has three sons, so when the village collects grain, his family is of course at the front of the line.

Fortunately, the children did not go to the city to find work.

I was thinking of taking a two-day break.

After all, it is better to work at home than to go to the city. Not only is the daily commute far, but the people in the city don't provide meals, and they can't save much money every day.

Although the Su family's work was to open up wasteland in the mountains, the wages were high enough, and the village chief knew that once the job opening was announced, it would definitely attract villagers.

"Doctor Su's family needs a lot of people. As long as everyone is not lazy, they want all the strong laborers for his family's work this year. The daily wages are calculated according to the wages of each family in the village for building houses in the past. The daily wages are 30 coins, and the Su family will provide lunch every day."

After hearing this, the several families who came to see Village Chief Liu were very satisfied. Working in the city only paid ten to twenty cents a day, and it was not certain that they could find a job.

Every year after the busy farming season, many people go to the city to find work, and the competition is fierce.

The Su family's work is now only available to people from Dahe Village, and they don't limit the number of people, which is a great thing for the people of Dahe Village.

"The Su family has become rich. First they bought the mountain, and then they hired people to reclaim the land. This must have cost a lot of money." The people who came to see Village Chief Liu discussed in a low voice.

"Why do you care about others? We don't have to go out to find work this winter. Isn't that good?"

"Yes, I can go home and be with my wife every day..." This man's words immediately drew laughter from the people around him.

A group of men get together and tell some dirty jokes from time to time.

"Okay, those whose names are on the list can go back first. Once the grain in the village is harvested, everyone can start working."

Going to the mountains to open up wasteland is not only unsafe but also inconvenient if there are too few people, so the Su family plans to go together after the busy farming season in the village is over.

"Village chief, is the mountain where the Su family works far away?" someone asked with some concern.

"Doctor Su said the land to be reclaimed is not far from his home and can be reached in an hour's walk."

This is when the road is not cleared yet. It will probably take less than an hour to clear it.

"Oh, that's fine. My wife told me before that it's not safe to go into the mountains."

"The mountains that the Su family bought are the ones close to the village. Didn't I tell you about that before?"

"Oh, how can my brain remember all this?" The man scratched his head and laughed.

...

During the harvest days, Village Chief Liu's family was the busiest. Many families had already started to sign up at the Village Chief's house before they had finished harvesting their crops.

Of course, not everyone in the village is good. There are always a few lazy people who want to take advantage of the situation.

"Village chief, doesn't the Su family need a lot of people? Why can't my son be accepted?" After Li Fuxiu's son was rejected by the village chief, Li Fuxiu personally went to the village chief's house to ask for an explanation.

Looking at Li Fuxiu standing in the yard with his hands on his hips, with an expression on his face that said, "If you don't register my family today, I will not leave your house."

Village Chief Liu slammed his palm on the table angrily. "What's the matter? Don't you know what your son is like? The Su family said they want people who can work, but they don't pay people for nothing."

Li Fuxiu had a bad reputation in the village. She loved to gossip about other people. Even if she heard something about the village chief's family, she would tell everyone in the village about it.

Sometimes they will even exaggerate things that didn't happen and make them sound extremely outrageous.

Her husband is a well-known lazy man in the village, and he mainly relies on his women to work in the fields.

This family often had conflicts with villagers. If they had not done anything too outrageous, Village Chief Liu would have wanted to drive this family out of the village.

It's really disturbing.

"My house is next to the Su family, so it should be our turn first. If the seat is full, everyone should line up behind our family..." Li Fuxiu slapped her thigh, stiffened her neck and yelled, acting like a quarreling shrew.

"You are rebelling! I am the village chief and I have the final say on who should be ranked first. If your man is more capable, he won't be looked down upon by others." The village chief roared.

Village Chief Liu turned around and looked at his sons. "She's throwing a tantrum and she's coming to my house! Big brother, second brother, kick this bitch out."

There were still many villagers who came to register in the village chief's yard, and the village chief was not afraid that Li Fuxiu would really rely on his family.

Just kick him out. As for the chance to work at the Su family, it depends on what Li Fuxiu did today. Village Chief Liu won't give his family a spot.

"In broad daylight, the village chief is going to beat someone up." Li Fuxiu was still planning to make a scene, but when he saw someone coming to beat him up, he sat down on the ground, kicking the ground with his legs.

"Then let's report to the police and let the officials come and see if your family is polite." Village chief Liu frowned as he looked at Li Fuxiu who was making a scene in his home.

This Li Fuxiu is really getting more and more outrageous!

"No need!" A man ran in from outside the village chief's house. It was Li Fuxiu's man.

Li Fuxiu was so frightened by the village chief's words of reporting to the police that he stopped crying. However, he was still in a state of sobbing and only made sobbing movements without making a sound.

"No need, Third Uncle. I'll go back and teach my wife a lesson." Li Fuxiu's man reached out and slapped Li Fuxiu. The crisp sound brought the onlookers back to their senses.

Li Fuxiu was so stunned by the slap from her man that she even forgot to cry.

In the eyes of these peasants, the government officials are all protecting each other, and the village chief is also an official in their eyes.

So when he heard that the village chief was going to report to the police, Li Fuxiu's men, who were hiding outside the yard, immediately rushed in.

If the village chief reports the matter to the authorities, they will probably have to pay a lot of money to deal with the officials.

"Come home with me quickly and don't embarrass yourself outside." Li Fuxiu's man dragged Li Fuxiu out of the village chief's yard.

A long trail was left in the yard.

Seeing the annoying family leave, Village Chief Liu was a little angry. How could such a family appear in their village?

"Humph! If you have the energy to make such a fuss, you should just be more diligent on weekdays and not be despised by others. Instead, you do this!"

"Yes, there's an old saying that goes, marrying a bad wife will ruin the whole family."

"That's called marrying a virtuous wife, who will bring prosperity to three generations." The village chief's son, who also received a few years of education, echoed the same statement.

"Yes, yes, that's the truth. Hehe, Dahu is really knowledgeable." The villagers in the yard quickly followed up with a few compliments.

Liu Dahu is the eldest son of Village Chief Liu. Although he did not achieve any honors through the imperial examinations, he is one of the few people in the village who has received a few years of formal education.
