Parents are busy farming

She turned to Fang You's daughter-in-law, Liu Meng'er, and said calmly: "As for the food, we need to write some contracts for hiring workers. You should prepare a dozen copies first, and then go to that tent with me and let The kids there signed it.”

When Liu Meng'er heard this, she couldn't help but frowned and asked doubtfully: "Are all the children inside going to follow us?"

Ye Zifen shook her head slightly and explained: "Not all, we only need one child from each family. After all, we cannot accept too many children."

When Liu Meng'er heard this answer, she felt relieved.

She understood that the lady's shop and the village were actually not lacking in clerks. What was really scarce were talents who could manage affairs.

Despite this, she also knew that once the young lady made a decision, she would not change it easily.

But facing so many children, she still couldn't help but want to give a few reminders.

These details were all seen by the attentive wife Fang You. Her eyes wandered back and forth between Ye Zifen and Liu Menger, as if she was thinking about something.

At this moment, Ye Zifen had turned around and left the tent, leaving behind a lively discussion.

The originally silent tent suddenly became noisy, and people began to discuss everything that had just happened.

Some people praised Ye Zifen's decision and considered it a kind act; while others were worried that so many children would be a burden to them.

However, no matter how much everyone discussed, Ye Zifen had already walked out of the tent and continued to arrange the next matters.

Taking the family as a unit, a boy's family atmosphere can be considered calm, without too many disputes.

But if there are two sons in the family, the whole family will be involved in endless entanglements.

After all, people's hearts are unpredictable, and elders will inevitably be partial deep in their hearts.

While everyone was hesitating, someone suddenly stepped forward and said loudly: "You should think carefully about what Miss Ye said, especially the last few sentences! Under the current situation, the children who are sent away must be smarter. In this way, If you come, you will be able to achieve success, earn a lot of money, and be of great help to your family of origin. Don’t be short-sighted because of temporary gains!”

This person is none other than Luo Xu.

At this moment, everyone in the tent suddenly realized, but even so, their hearts were still... This is often the case in matters involving emotions.

When Ye Zifen stepped into the tent, some people had not yet discussed how to come up with Chou Yinmao.

As sensitive as she was, she immediately noticed that the atmosphere in the tent was different, but she didn't say anything.

She raised her lips slightly and said slowly: "Are you ready? If you are ready, then we can start signing the agreement."

While speaking, Luo Xu walked up to Ye Zifen and whispered to her in a low voice: "Some families seem to still have some disputes, and the suitable candidate has not yet been selected."

Ye Zifen nodded understandingly, indicating that he understood the reason.

Then, raising her voice, she shouted, "All children between the ages of eight and fifteen, please stand before me."

Everyone was puzzled by this move, but since they were currently in the stage of being dependent on others, they could only act according to Ye Zifen's words.

After everyone gathered nearby, Ye Zifen whispered: "From now on, none of you are allowed to make any noise. Go get some water quickly. Everyone will eat later, so you must wash your hands first." "

When the children heard this, they all looked at each other and seemed a little confused for a moment.

But since it was Ye Zifen who gave the order, they obeyed it obediently.

Afterwards, Ye Zifen opened the tent door and turned to Liu Meng'er and told her, "Go over and tell Ziwei that you don't need to pay attention to those children and let them solve the problem on their own."

Obviously, Ye Zifen wanted to take this opportunity to test these children.

There is no doubt that what she really wants to test in her heart is actually the elders of the children in the tent to see how they will treat their children.

Sure enough, when some women learned that their children needed to be sent to work, they walked over and dragged their children back to them without a second thought.

However, Ye Zifen acted as if he had not heard anything about what was happening in front of him.

After all the children had walked out of the tent, she turned to everyone and said, "You may have never been an apprentice to others, but you must have heard of it. You know, becoming someone else's apprentice or buddy, Then you must always listen to the instructions of the master and the person in charge. There is a lot of knowledge in this! Not to mention just heating water for washing hands, sometimes you may even have to wash people's feet!"

It can be said that "the sharp edge of a sword comes from sharpening, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold", or as the ancients said, "When heaven is about to entrust a great responsibility to this person, he must first work hard on his will, his muscles and bones...".

The "suffering" mentioned here is by no means limited to physical suffering, but also covers self-esteem, face and many other spiritual levels of suffering and torture.

After listening to what Ye Zifen said, the people in the tent finally realized and understood the good intentions of her arrangement.

The two women who had just pulled their children back became more determined to prevent the children from taking another step.

The reason why they do not need to be drafted into the army is precisely because the family has lost the backbone of their family. It would be unbearable to let their children endure such suffering at this time!

However, they seem to have forgotten that the family has long been out of food. At this moment, Ye Zifen has become the last glimmer of hope for the family's survival.

It is true that maybe someone in the village will help them, but after Ye Zifen's intervention, there must be absolutely no one in the village who will pity this family anymore.

At that time, they will have no choice but to leave the village. Once such a fragile family leaves the shelter of the village, they will undoubtedly end up in such a difficult situation.

The old people understood the situation and hurriedly went to dissuade them. They even explained and analyzed the stakes in detail before they loosened their grip on the children's hands.

In fact, Ye Zifen did not take a fancy to the two people in front of him. They were neither smart enough nor independent enough, and they even had no sense of responsibility.

Even if they followed her, it would be difficult for them to get ahead.

People's vision is limited. Since he has been irresponsible since he was a child, he can still mess up things even if he is placed in a good position.

A family like theirs is not the kind of family that wants to inherit a title. Raising children like this is really a matter of great ambition and a life as thin as paper.

Despite this, Ye Zifen did not finish the matter and did not stop them from leaving.

They also saw Ye Zifen's face one after another and secretly shook his head.
