Rich Peasant Girl: The General's Wife Has Space

After the excitement of the village head's wedding was over, Zhao Lizheng always remembered his responsibilities and quickly put the issue of selecting people for work on the agenda.

The first thing is to choose a wife who is hardworking and willing to work hard, and at the same time take care of those in need at home. Women understand women in this regard.

Although the village head's wife was still angry about what Zhao Lizheng had said to her before, she eventually changed her mind, especially when she saw the wealthy families from Jiyun City surrounding Xiao Wan and trying to get close to her and pay them respects.

She no longer dared to have any condescending thoughts.

Zhao Lizheng and his family have a new understanding of the Xiao family's current strength.

After all, the headman's wife has lived in the village for forty or fifty years, so she knows which women in the village are diligent and hardworking.

She recommended two people to Zhao Lizheng, both of whom were good at work, diligent and clean.

Zhao Lizheng was thinking about these two people and felt that they were good, mainly because one of them was Xiao Wan's aunt and the other's family was not well off. The man in the family took medicine all year round and could not do much work, so the family relied on the wife alone to take care of everything at home.

"But she has to go to work in town every day. What will she do with the family affairs?" Zhao Lizheng frowned slightly, obviously worried that his daughter-in-law would be away all day and there would be no one to take care of the family.

"You're stupid. You've forgotten that her eldest daughter is already thirteen or fourteen, and her second daughter is almost ten. They can still cook and do farm work. It's not like her husband can't dress and feed himself. Why can't he leave home for a day?"

"Besides, going to the city to work is such a good opportunity, and the wages are so high, only a fool would not go."

Sun rolled her eyes at her husband and cursed him in revenge for yesterday's scolding.

Zhao Lizheng didn't hear it, but instead praised his wife. He really didn't know much about his wife's situation. He only knew that her children were still young and her husband took medicine all year round.

So there are two options for now. Zhao Lizheng decided to go around the village more often.

After Zhao Lizheng found an excuse to investigate the situation of the two women, he basically made up his mind.

Otherwise, even if she is a relative of the Xiao family, if she is difficult to get along with, Zhao Lizheng will not choose her.

Otherwise, it would just cause trouble for Xiao Wan.

The decision was almost made. Zhao Lizheng chose a time after lunch and rang the bell under the big locust tree in the center of the village, preparing to select the young man to deliver the food. The villagers rushed over when they heard the sound.

When Zhao Lizheng told the villagers about the selection, they immediately became excited. When they learned that eight people would be selected to work, everyone was a little excited and wanted to compete for a spot.

The benefits and wages for those who previously went to work at Banchengxian were extremely high.

When people learned about the wages and benefits, the village was in an uproar for a while, and everyone wished that their sons and grandsons could be sent to work in Banchengxian.

The wages of the waiters at Banchengxian are several times higher than those in other hotels. Who wouldn’t be jealous?

The waiters who came from the mountain village had paid leave, but when they returned to the village, the burning gazes of the crowd seemed to burn them through.

Even matchmakers flocked to their house. Apart from anything else, the young man who was chosen must have good character first. Everyone knows that the Xiao family's selection criteria are first character, and then other things.

Several young men from Banchengxian couldn't resist it, and their parents were also very proud.

Now Banchengxian is recruiting again. If we don’t fight for it now, when will we fight for it?

Zhao Lizheng cleared his throat and raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet so that he could talk.

The villagers soon quieted down. Zhao Lizheng still had great prestige in the hearts of the villagers. He was doing practical things for the village, and everyone believed in him, not to mention that the headman's eldest grandson was now a juren, and his prestige was even greater than before.

But everyone is not afraid. As long as they don't commit crimes, the scholar master of the Zhao family and the county lady of the Xiao family will always help and protect them. Everyone has a scale in their hearts.

At this time, Kaoshan Village has undergone great changes, and the quality of life has surpassed that of the villages within dozens of miles. All of this is because of the Xiao family!

They also listened to the advice and kept Zhao Lizheng's warnings in mind at all times.

It is necessary to listen. Whenever someone gets carried away, Zhao Lizheng’s beating will come as expected.

As soon as they started to float up, the headman's pipe hit them, and their little thoughts were strangled in the cradle.

But no one holds a grudge against him, because Zhao Li is their backbone. He never seeks personal gain and is dedicated to working for the village. Therefore, the current atmosphere in Kaoshan Village is still very good.

This made the girls and boys in their village particularly popular, and those who worked for the Xiao family were much more respected than others.

When the granaries are full, people will know etiquette. Although people in Kaoshan Village are not rich now, the customs and atmosphere are very different from before.

"Everyone knows the Xiao family's requirements for selecting people. The first one is good character, and then other things." Zhao Lizheng glanced at everyone before speaking.
