Huang Yijin and Huang Yiyin were exposed by their nephew. They knew that it was useless to refuse to admit it now, so they immediately changed their attitudes, lowered their heads, and looked guilty.
Huang Yijin: "Brother-in-law, we built this courtyard wall."
Huang Yiyin scratched his head, "Brother-in-law, did we not do some process correctly? We did it very seriously, but we were not skilled enough."
Huang Zhenzhu stepped forward at the right time and twisted their arms, scolding, "You have to be more careful if you are not skilled. Ask your brother-in-law more, and you can quickly re-build it!"
Liu Xiong's face darkened. At first, he was worried that the two of them didn't work well. Now the walls they built have collapsed. Are they unskilled or lazy?
During this period of time, he had to go to the county every day. When he returned to the village, he never forgot to check with the villagers about the two people's work. He had never heard that the two were lazy, but now, he still had doubts.
Liu Xiong frowned and asked in a rough voice, "Not skilled or not serious?"
Upon hearing this, Huang Yijin and Huang Yiyin shook their heads like a rattle, "How can you not be serious, brother-in-law, we both cherish this opportunity to work. If you don't believe it, ask the people who work together!"
Liu Xiong glanced at the villagers who were working, "To be fair, did these two boys work well?"
Everyone was silent at first, but Liu Xiong just looked at them and waited for the answer. After a while, a few people spoke and responded briefly,
"Well enough."
"good."
The others nodded perfunctorily, feeling aggrieved but not surprised.
When you go to work in the county, you will encounter some bastards who pretend to be intimidating. How can you not bow your head when you are under the roof?
Nie Qianqian sighed inwardly. Although his uncle knew that something was wrong, he couldn't find a good way, so he just asked everyone bluntly. How could everyone tell the truth if they interfered with the relationship between Liu Xiong and the Huang brothers? Woolen cloth.
Nie Qianqian thought for a while and said, "Everyone has worked hard to build a house for my family during this period. My mother and I left the Nie family and Li. Without the help of people in the village to build a new house, we don't know how we will survive the winter this year. It's very difficult. Thanks guys.”
The villagers felt warm when they heard these words. Although they came because of the good wages given by Nie Qianqian, Nie Qianqian's words still made everyone feel very comfortable.
"Qianqian, don't say thank you or not, they are all from the same village."
"Well, we should take care of each other."
"It's not easy for you two."
Nie Qianqian said with a smile, "Uncle Liu is right. My mother and I contributed the money, and the uncles and uncles helped build the house. We all earned hard-earned money and took care of each other. I believe that none of the uncles and uncles will be lazy and go to waste. Earn this salary."
These words were very targeted, and the villagers couldn't help showing their contempt for Huang Yijin and Huang Yiyin. They took the money and were lazy and refused to work. Bah, the villagers were honest and looked down on such people.
Huang Yijin and Huang Yiyin's faces were slightly red. What was this girl Nie Qianqian talking about? At such a young age, she had no right to speak.
Nie Qianqian continued, "Whether Uncle Yijin and Uncle Yiyin have worked well is not only a matter between the two of them, but also whether it is fair for our Liu family to build a house. It all belongs to the villagers. We can't accuse people unfairly. So I want everyone to vote anonymously, and I will give everyone pen and paper later. If they are working seriously, you can draw a horizontal line on the paper. If they are lazy, you can draw a circle."
These words firstly indicate Nie Qianqian's attitude towards this matter, and secondly, they remind everyone that this is building a house for the Liu family, not the Huang family.
Huang Yijin and Huang Yiyin immediately became anxious after hearing this. In front of them, the villagers did not dare to say anything and voted anonymously, but they could not say that they were selling their situation behind their backs.
Huang Yijin's expression changed, "Qianqian girl, how can you speak? You don't believe my family? What's more, you are a junior, how can you speak?"
Huang Yiyin complained to Liu Yan, "Sister Liu, who is in charge of this family? You haven't said anything yet, and that girl in your family is gesticulating."
If Nie Erzhuang heard this, he would definitely think that I would be embarrassed and would shut up Nie Qianqian.
But Liu Yan is not Nie Erzhuang. Liu Yan really loves this daughter. Nie Qianqian fights for her to reconcile with the Nie family. Nie Qianqian worked hard to make money during this period and wants to lead her to live a better life. Nie Qianqian sold Ganoderma lucidum and wants to take her with her. She lives in a new house. In Liu Yan's heart, Nie Qianqian is the backbone of the family.
The two of them wanted to provoke each other in this way, but they really found the wrong person.
Liu Yan didn't want things to get too serious because she and her sister-in-law couldn't get along with each other, but now that the two brothers were accusing Nie Qianqian, she immediately started defensive mode like an old hen protecting her chicks and changed her attitude.
Liu Yan straightened her back and tried to make her voice sound strong, "Qianqian is the one who calls the shots in this family. Whatever she says is what she says. If she says she wants to vote, she must vote!"
Liu Xiong faced his niece, "Qianqian is right, this method is good."
Huang Zhenzhu looked troubled. One side was her mother's family and the other was her man's family. She was caught in the middle and didn't want to offend either side.
Huang Pearl opened her mouth in embarrassment, "Qianqian, look, this is not a big deal."
Nie Qianqian was not annoyed and just said calmly, "Auntie, after the house is built, people will live in it. It is not a big deal if the courtyard wall collapses today, but if you move in after the construction is completed, what will you do if the beams collapse?"
When Liu Xiong and Huang Zhuzhu heard this, they broke out in cold sweat behind their backs. Yes, this is a house. If anything is not done well, people will die. If something happens to the house in the future, who can take the responsibility?
Huang Zhenzhu ignored the two brothers' desperate glances and remained silent. She could tell the difference between them.
She was very angry with her two brothers now. She had begged her husband just to take care of her natal brothers. Now something happened, Liu Xiong had to blame her. Her two brothers were really troublesome.
Now that things have come to this, we can only do as Nie Qianqian said. Soon, Nie Qianqian took out pens and papers from the old house and distributed them to more than a dozen workers.
Vote anonymously? The people in the village have not yet adopted this form, and they all look at the people around them with inquiring eyes, trying to see how to write.
"You guys don't need to look at each other. Justice is in the hearts of the people. Just write it down based on what you have observed, and put it in the bag in front of you after you finish writing it."
The villagers looked at both sides of the note. Each note was the same size. There was no mark on the note. It was finally mixed in the bag, and it was absolutely impossible to tell who wrote it.
Soon, more than ten people all wrote notes and put them in cloth bags.
Most of them can't read, but they can still understand by drawing a horizontal line or a circle.
Seeing that everyone had finished writing, Nie Qianqian picked up the cloth bag and handed it to Liu Xiong, "Uncle, you are the supervisor, so it is most appropriate for you to check the results."
Liu Xiong took it. He was eager to know whether the two of them were lazy. He quickly took out a piece of paper and opened it, and there was a big circle.
Liu Xiong's face looked ugly, Huang Zhenzhu's expression was stern, and he was lucky, wasn't he the first one.
the second is a circle;
The third is a circle;
The fourth is a circle;
······
Liu Xiong opened all the notes and looked at them. He never expected that more than ten people would all give big circles. Without exception, the zero eggs falling into his eyes were particularly dazzling.
His face was completely dark. Qianqian believed him and asked him to supervise the work. He thought that he ran in and out of the work without reservation, but he didn't expect that something was wrong with these two people. What made him even more annoyed was that he usually It's not that I haven't asked the two of them if they were lazy, but the results were very different from today.
As soon as he thought about it, he understood that the two brothers must have mentioned their relationship frequently in front of the villagers, which made them afraid to tell the truth and angry.
Although Nie Qianqian's method is simple, it is very effective because it captures the mentality of everyone who does not want to report with their real names for fear of causing harm to Chi Yu.
Liu Xiong stared at the two brothers and said angrily, "What else do you have to say!"
