Chapter 281 Are You Responsible for Giving Birth?
More than three hundred to five hundred taels of silver?
This is a considerable number. Several people looked at each other and no one spoke for a while.
Bai Dashan didn't care. If it weren't for the aunt this time, the people of these two villages would have tried their best to help, and the people working in the Baijiabao caravan would have worked hard to improve themselves, there was no way Taohua Village would have taken them.
After he finished talking about the matter, someone came to say that the things had been packed, so Bai Dashan said, "Okay, I still have a lot of things to do here, you guys go back early and distribute the things to everyone."
"The only thing is, this is our aunt's gift, you have to divide it fairly, and don't be greedy or partial."
Zhou Yang and others quickly responded that they would not, and at the same time they became curious about the things that Taohua Village would give.
They were waiting at the entrance of the village and were surprised to see the things on the cart.
The pack carts of the Baijiabao caravan were obviously specially made and much larger than those seen elsewhere. At this time, they were loaded with more than ten baskets of pork, oil, salt, and some corn.
The most important thing is that there are actually quite a few vegetables, including juicy cabbage, yam, and pumpkin.
They had never seen yam and pumpkin before following Taohua Village, but now they have eaten them several times and naturally know how to cook them.
Bai Dashan said, "The New Year is just half a month away. These things are a token of our aunt's love."
"It's been a tough year for everyone, so let's have a good New Year."
Several people were stunned at first, then they were overjoyed and hurriedly said, "Thank you, young master, Shopkeeper Bai."
"Young Master treats us so well, we have no way to repay you, we..."
These things are all important things nowadays. Not to mention the price, if you want to buy them, you have to use connections and beg for favors.
Of course, this is what Zhou Yang and others thought. The fact is, half of these things were ordered by Bai Tao from the discount and flash sale area, especially vegetables, cabbage, yam and pumpkin, with larger quantities getting better discounts.
Bai Dashan waved his hand: "Okay, it's getting late, I still have to go outside to listen to the instructions of my aunt, please be careful on the road."
Zhou Yang smiled and said, "Don't worry, Shopkeeper Bai. This is the territory of Taohua Village. No one will come here to cause trouble now."
Others also responded: "That's right."
"Yes."
Having said that, the group was still extremely careful on the road.
There was no one else on the road, so Kong Daming approached Zhou Yang and asked, "Village Chief Zhou, do you have any plans for building a house?"
Zhou Yang said without thinking: "My family will definitely sign up."
"Although Shopkeeper Bai said the price is high, if you think about it, you will know that it is expensive for a reason. As you have seen along the way, all the good things in the Baijiabao caravan are not cheap."
When the others heard this, they nodded, saying it was true.
Zhou Yang: "After listening to what Shopkeeper Bai said, I didn't expect it to be such a nice house, but you saw Shopkeeper Bai's expression just now. He was extremely proud of the house that hadn't been built yet..."
"Manager Bai has traveled a lot, and he has seen a lot of people in the world. What kind of house must it be that he is full of praise for?"
Kong Daming also nodded at this time and continued: "Yes, what Village Chief Zhou said makes sense. My family will also sign up."
Zhou Yang looked around, lowered his voice, and said, "I suggest that everyone sign up. To be honest, I think we are all getting a great deal if we sign up and follow along."
There was another sentence Zhou Yang didn't say. He had been attached to Taohua Village with a thick face. Now there was a chance to get closer to them. If he missed the chance, he would be a fool.
At this point, he cleared his throat again and said loudly: "Anyway, it depends on your own conditions. If you have money, you can sign up and build it. If you don't have money, you can build it however you want." "Didn't Shopkeeper Bai also say that this matter is not mandatory and is entirely voluntary."
Zhou Yang: "I'll just say this to you guys on the way, and you guys just need to know it."
Although no one knew what the people traveling with me were thinking, they all nodded at this moment.
The upper village and the lower village were not far from each other, on the left and right, so when they reached the fork in the road, people from the two villages took their respective portions and separated.
After returning to the village, Zhou Yang immediately gathered the villagers.
"It is a cause for celebration that the young master has returned safely."
"Taohua Village has seen how busy everyone has been these days. As the New Year is coming soon, the young host has sent us some supplies."
"In a little while, each household will line up to receive the supplies. We distribute the supplies based on the number of people, with the same number for men and women."
As soon as Zhou Yang finished speaking, the villagers were filled with joy, especially those families with mostly girls, women and children.
They were very grateful and said one after another: "The young master is a very good person."
"That's right, the young master is a very, very good person. He will definitely be safe and healthy, live a long life, and be blessed with as much wealth as the East Sea..."
Zhou Yang looked at the women who were so excited that their eyes were filled with tears, and he knew why.
Before, whether distributing things or providing housing plots in various villages, most of them were only given to males, and girls in the family were not eligible.
In some places, Dingquan Dingwu was even established, which means that only male adults are eligible to enter the ancestral hall to worship their ancestors and inherit the Dingwu.
The bottom line is that women will eventually get married, and a married girl is like water spilled.
But it’s not the same in Taohua Village. Men and women are treated the same and receive the same things. Women even get more of some supplies than men.
Zhou Yang: "The young master said that men and women are equal. This girl can go to school and naturally she will have a share of the distributed supplies."
"Let's distribute the supplies first. After that, I still have something to talk to everyone about." After saying that, Zhou Yang began to lead people to distribute things.
As they were distributing the supplies, the villagers realized something was wrong. Aren't men and women equal and have the same amount of supplies? So why did women get more things than men?
Not to mention the hairband, but the two pounds of brown sugar, two feet of plain cloth, an extra two pounds of lean meat, and some miscellaneous items, these are all things that men don't have.
So, someone couldn't help but speak up: "Village Chief, why do they have those and we don't?"
Zhou Yang took a quick look and asked unhappily, "These are all women's products. What? Are you a woman too?"
"Here's the hair tie. Do you want it?"
"Well, that brown sugar..." Except for the hairband, it seems that there are no other things that men cannot use.
Zhou Yang rolled his eyes and said, "You want brown sugar? Why, are you responsible for giving birth to the baby?"
"Uh, this, this, this..." The person who spoke was embarrassed. How could he, a grown man, have a child?
Zhou Yang didn't wait for him to answer, and said loudly: "The reason why women and children have a few more things is that they are women's supplies."
"Do you know that these are women's products? They are for women only, and only for women and children."
