Running with the ball in the lean years, the evil mother-in-law and the whole family regretted it

"That's right." All the villagers agreed.

Chen Liu, who was lying on the ground, suddenly got up from the ground after hearing this. Now my head doesn't hurt anymore, my legs and feet are strong, and I don't dare to make a fuss anymore. I just go back to where I came from.

"Okay, don't let this kind of person ruin your mood. This will make her run faster. Let's continue." Granny Chen stamped the crutch in her hand, turned around and looked at Bai Taotao and said, "Youyi Wife, don’t care what the old woman says, this money was given voluntarily by the fellow villagers, just accept it.”

"Yes, that's right." The villagers agreed.

Bai Taotao kept in mind the sincerity of the villagers towards her and saw in her eyes the villagers' protection for her. She knew that the villagers took out the money voluntarily and very happily.

Although Mrs. Chen Liu just said so many unpleasant things, and anyone who said he didn't want the fifty taels of silver must be a fool, Bai Taotao was really determined to be this fool today.

So he said: "I know that these fifty taels are what the villagers want, but if I accept them today, wouldn't I be letting down the care and help that the villagers have given me during this time?"

"Otherwise, I have an idea. Last year, whether our county saved crops because of the water and windmills and successfully completed the autumn harvest and winter planting, or whether we failed to sell the grain because we took precautions in advance, these situations will definitely happen in other places. You know, now every household of ours has food in reserve, and the Chinese New Year is about to begin, so I’m thinking about whether our village should set up a village protection team on its own to maintain the safety of the village."

"This money will be used as the cost of establishing this team."

When Bai Taotao said this, the villagers started talking about it.

"I think Mrs. Youyi's suggestion is a good one. I heard that many places in the north have suffered due to snowstorms this year, and the situation in the south is not much better because there has been no rain for a whole year. The situation in our county is currently hearing It’s the best, and after paying taxes, we basically don’t sell any grain, so we always have surplus grain on hand, so we’re afraid of being targeted.”

"That's right. This year our village has a bumper harvest. It's easier to be targeted than other villages. It's really necessary to set up a village protection team."

"But we are all idiots. If we set up this village protection team, if bandits really come, we won't be able to defeat them."

"You're stupid. You can't even fight but you don't know how to shout. When you shout loudly, the whole village will fight with them. You can't just watch them take away the harvest we have worked hard for all year."

"Youyi's wife can make such a suggestion today. She must have a reason. We have to believe her, so I think the village protection team must be organized as soon as possible."

"That's right, that's right."

Li Zheng also nodded at this time and said: "Yes, Mrs. Yi is still thoughtful. Especially if the situation does not improve after the beginning of spring, then we should be more careful. The village protection team must hurry up and come up with a charter, and then The only thing is to hurry up and establish it. Do you have any good suggestions for Mrs. Youyi?"

Bai Taotao replied: "Because currently many folks in our village have gone to the military camp, and many folks are working in the workshops, the personnel to form the escort team can only be selected from the existing candidates. Everyone can sign up voluntarily, no There is an age limit and then physical deletion.”

"At that time, I will find a way to buy a few more skilled people back, and let them lead everyone, do regular training, and teach you a few useful moves. At least they can have some effect. The remaining specific regulations are waiting for you We will decide after hand selection.”

"In addition, our village will spend some money to build an iron clang. If anything happens, we can knock the clang. It will be more useful than running from door to door and shouting."

Chen Lizheng nodded after hearing this: "Okay, then I'll do as you say."

After saying this, Chen Dekuan said: "If this is the case, even if she doesn't want the fifty taels given to Youyi's wife, I'm afraid it won't be enough by then. Then why don't we split the money from selling the bamboo shoots this time and take care of the care first?" Let’s talk about it after the village team matter is finalized?”

Chen Lizheng: "This time, this money should be distributed to everyone first. Previously, Yi's wife bought wasteland, and the money from the wasteland has not yet been distributed to everyone. The funds for the village protection team will be used first. We will see the rest later. .”

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Chen Lizheng: "In that case, if any villagers want to join the village protection team, please come to me and sign up first. When Mrs. Youyi arranges for the manpower to come over, I will notify everyone to delete the selection."

"to make."

"to make."

The villagers nodded in agreement. Chen Lizheng: "Okay, there's nothing else to do. You guys will just line up to collect the money."

After finalizing the establishment of the village protection team, the big guys started to collect money.

Some families have family members who have gone to the military camp for several months now, and they also have a lot of money, plus a few taels of silver from selling winter bamboo shoots, which adds up to a lot of money.

The guys don't know how happy they are.

They had a bumper harvest this year.

Basically every household has a lot of money in their hands.

In the coming year, those who should marry a wife can get a wife, and those who should repair the house can also repair the house.

After being assigned to Chen Youyi's name, Bai Taotao was not polite this time. After receiving the money, he went home and continued his work.

Because he wanted to buy manpower and set up a village protection team as soon as possible, Baitaotao went to the county the next day.

When I came back in the afternoon, I brought back six young adults in their mid-twenties.

Because it is necessary to maintain everyone's safety, and in the future, it will also be necessary to maintain the safety of the workshop and the mountains, so Baitaotao naturally buys top-notch masters.

But the price was really expensive. Fifty taels per person, and it cost her three hundred taels of silver to go out for six people.

But she felt the money was worth spending.

Having them around is also a guarantee.

She gave the names of the six people on the way.

She didn't bother to think about it and just called Zhang Yun, Zhao Hu, Chao Chao, Ma Han, Ling Su, and Ling Feng.

They were brought back manually and arranged to stay at the workshop, so that the security of the workshop at night could be left to them with confidence. After all, the warehouses and other things were all over there.

After the accommodation was arranged, they were handed over to the village chief, and the village protection team was also directly organized by them. They were all capable people, so there was no need for her to do everything herself.

Nowadays, any chairman still does everything himself, and just arranges it directly for the people in charge to handle it.

She just counts money at home.

Chen Youyi is also busy during this period. Sometimes he only comes back after a day or two when he goes out.

Bai Taotao didn't ask him what he was busy with, but she would help him without hesitation when he needed help.

I was busy and busy, and it was the end of the year in a blink of an eye, the twenty-eighth day of the twelfth lunar month.

In the past few days, the village protection team has been successfully formed. The next step is training, but Bai Taotao doesn't have to worry about it anyway.

It's the 28th of the new year, and today is the last day of work for the workshop this year. (End of chapter)
