The Transmigrated Farm Girl's Journey to Wealth

But he's agreed now! Oh no, what am I going to do? His eldest grandson can't stay a bachelor forever!

“My dear in-law, let’s discuss this properly. There’s no reason to get a divorce just because of a fight.”

Cui Daniu sneered, "Is this a fight? You used to beat your wife half to death when you had a fight with her, you old bastard. You didn't stop her when she was beating you, and now you want to smooth things over. You're so immoral. No wonder your grandson can't pass the exam."

Old Wang had no choice but to endure it for the sake of his eldest grandson.

"Village chief, please tell me, given my daughter's current condition, is it reasonable for our family to request a divorce?"

Village chief: That makes perfect sense. If it were his daughter, he would have grabbed a weapon and fought the Wang family to the death last night.

But he couldn't say that. After all, it was best for him to stay out of other people's family affairs.

"You two should discuss this carefully and come to a conclusion before contacting me, okay?"

Cui Hehua was determined not to let him go. "Village chief, you must stand up for me!"

The village chief was in a difficult position.

"I won't get a divorce! I absolutely won't get a divorce! Cui Hehua, give up on that idea. If you have the guts, go ahead and sue me at the yamen. Without my approval, you can forget about leaving the Wang family!" Wang Defa roared angrily from inside the house.

Wang Defa refused?

It's over!

If the Wang family doesn't agree, they really can't get this done. There are plenty of cases of wives being beaten; at most, the wife's family will scold or beat her, then take her home for a few days.

Hit him? Ha, with Wang Defa in this state, would he dare to touch him?

Scolding is pointless and ineffective. This is a tricky matter!

"village head?"

"Grandpa Wang, I'll head back now. You two families can sit down and have a proper talk." The Wang family was clearly not going to back down, and even as the village head, he couldn't force someone to divorce. This matter, like marriage, required mutual consent.

After finishing his speech, the village chief ignored the Cui family's attempts to persuade him to stay and simply ran away. Don't blame him for being unethical; he genuinely couldn't control the situation.

Upright officials can hardly break housework!

Finally, it was said that Wang Defa apologized and promised not to hit anyone again. The Wang family compensated Cui Hehua with two hundred coins and moved her to another room, thus settling the matter.

The village chief also made a special trip to the Wang family again, and stated firmly that if such a thing happened again, he would make the two of them divorce and send Wang De to the government.

Regardless, he had to stand up for Cui Hehua, since she had come to his house for help.

What the village chief didn't know was that Cui Hehua not only didn't appreciate his kindness, but also resented him, feeling that he had let her die.

After the workshop was built, they started preparing for recruitment. The village chief handed the list to Song Feng, saying, "You and Xiao Ning discuss how to select the candidates since there are more than half the applicants."

Song Feng nodded. The number of people was much smaller than they had expected. It was said that many people, upon hearing that they would have to sign a contract and that they would have to pay a lot of money in compensation for their work in the workshop, gave up and didn't want to continue.

"Xiao Ning, how do we choose from so many people?"

"Have them come to the workshop tomorrow, and I'll interview them one by one."

"Okay!" Of course, it's best if my wife chooses it herself.

Everyone who wanted to work arrived at the workshop early in the morning. Xia Ning looked at each person individually and then divided them into two groups. "The aunties on the left can go home first, and the ones on the right can stay. I'll talk to you about starting work."

The one who was eliminated protested, "No way, you're from Song Feng's family! You just glanced at us and said we're no good? Is hiring so casual? What's wrong with us? Tell me!"

That brat, she's too arrogant just because she makes a few bucks. She thinks she can just decide someone's fate after one glance? I'll give her a piece of my mind today, or she'll give me a piece of her mind.

"Auntie, we're in the food business, and cleanliness is paramount. Your fingernails are full of filth, how can you work?"

The woman blushed. "Wouldn't it be fine if I just washed it?"

Fang Xiaoning shook her head. "It's a matter of personal habits. Habits are sometimes ingrained. When we hire people to cook, we definitely choose those who are clean and quick."

Those who were rejected were somewhat embarrassed by the criticism. They took a closer look at those who were selected; their clothes were clean, their hands were clean, and even their hair was neatly combed.

Compared to them, they are indeed much cleaner and more efficient.

Having said all that, they couldn't press the matter any further and could only go home dejectedly. Sigh, back home, she didn't know how to tell her family. Could it be that because she wasn't clean, they didn't want her anymore?

As women, they also have a sense of shame.
