Chapter 282: Continue to hold the thigh of Taohua Village

"You grown men don't care about your own women and children, that's fine, but the young master has kindly arranged it for you, are you jealous?"

Zhou Yang said with disdain: "You are a grown man, but you are thinking about women's products. Do you still have any dignity left?"

When Zhou Yang said the following sentence, he looked around and spoke in a very loud voice.

The person who had just spoken blushed and waved his hands quickly: "No, no, Village Chief, I didn't mean to take women's supplies."

"I'm just curious, so I asked."

With so many people around at this time, he was afraid that others would think he was shameless, so he hurriedly said: "Village chief, these women and children are weak and vulnerable, and they need more care. This is very reasonable, very reasonable!"

Of course Zhou Yang knew that this person was just curious, but he just wanted to take this opportunity to tell others, otherwise he would not have distributed the supplies without explaining the situation at the beginning.

Hearing this, Zhou Yang's expression eased: "It's good that you don't have such thoughts. If you don't take care of women and children, you are unworthy of being a seven-foot-tall man."

"Yes, yes, the village chief is right."

Others quickly joined in.

"As a man, no one would care about these women's products."

"Yes, yes."

Although there was a minor incident, it did not affect the subsequent distribution of supplies.

But in the end, there was still some extra pork.

Zhou Yang thought for a moment and said, "There is some pork left, not much. I thought about it and decided to give it to women and children, half a pound each."

After saying this, he looked around at everyone and asked loudly, "Does anyone have any objections?"

"No, no, no opinion."

"We have no problem with that."

After what happened just now, who would have any objections?

Especially those families without girl children answered very loudly.

After all, these supplies were originally provided by Taohua Village, and they didn't pay a penny, so they were just getting them for free.

If you still care about it and the news gets to Taohua Village, there will be no such good things in the future.

Everyone knows that Taohua Village advocates gender equality and tries its best to give preferential treatment to women and children when it does not involve major issues. If they do not follow, wouldn't that be going against Taohua Village?

Besides, although their family has no daughter, their son will get married in the future. If people think it is too harsh, no family would be willing to become relatives.

Families with girls, or many girls, will have even less objections.

Zhou Yang nodded in satisfaction, pretending to be talking to himself, but his voice was heard by many people: "I feel relieved that everyone can be so reasonable."

"If this gets to the ears of Taohua Village, everyone will say that we are the best village to live in. By then, will the young men and women in our village still be worried about finding in-laws?"

The villagers all said yes.

"Now that the supplies have been distributed, let me talk about the second thing for today."

"We must build a house after the spring. The young master will design it according to the climate here..." Zhou Yang paused and suddenly forgot how to say that word.

Scratching his chin, Zhou Yang couldn't really remember, so he could only say, "That's right, the young master found a great craftsman, who drew a great and beautiful house, and Taohua Village is going to build it according to this specification."

"It will cost about three hundred to five hundred taels of silver."

As soon as the words fell, many villagers gasped, and others were also shocked. You know, in the countryside, a few dozen taels of silver can build two nice houses.

Even if it was a bigger one, a hundred taels would be enough. Now they say it would cost more than three hundred to five hundred taels. Who would not be shocked?

However, when people think about the conditions in Taohua Village, they don't seem surprised anymore.

Zhou Yang continued, "It just so happens that we went to visit the young master today. Although we didn't see him, he also knew our feelings."

"So, let's build the house and allow us to build it together."

"This is not mandatory. It's all up to your personal wishes. You can go back and discuss it with your families. If you want to follow Taohua Village in building it, then sign up..."

After talking about houses and the start of spring farming, Zhou Yang waved his hand and asked everyone to disperse.

Yang Xianglian asked her parents-in-law to take her uncle, aunt and the children home first, while she quickly followed Da Zhou.

"Sister-in-law, I have some things that I am unsure about, so I want to talk to you about it so that you can help me analyze it."

Da Zhou smiled and said, "You want to ask about signing up to build a house?"

"Yes, my sister-in-law is amazing. You already know it before I even open my mouth."

Da Zhou smiled and said, "What's the big deal?"

"Although I haven't asked my husband yet, it is very likely that my family will sign up."

Da Zhou said, "Big sister, think about it, the Taohua Village caravan has traveled all over the country and has been to so many places, and the young master is such a smart person."

"Although I don't know why I have to settle down here, I might as well make the best of it. The young master is such a smart man, and since he specially asked someone to draw the map, it must be the best."

Da Zhou felt that there were villagers leaning in behind her to listen carefully, but she pretended not to see them and continued, "Think about it, in the past, when a rich man hired someone to draw a blueprint to build a house, did that blueprint cost money?"

Yang Xianglian nodded subconsciously: "Yes, it cost a lot of money."

"I've heard from my father-in-law before that he used to work as a farmhand in the town. When the families of the wealthy families in the town needed to repair their houses, they would hire people specifically..."

Da Zhou continued, "Yes, the blueprints for renovating the house cost a lot of money. These blueprints were specially made according to Dongzhou's climate. How can they not be good? How can they be cheap?"

Yang Xianglian immediately shook her head: "That definitely won't happen."

"So, my family will definitely sign up. This is a great bargain."

As soon as Da Zhou finished speaking, the people behind her quickly responded: "Yes, the village head's wife is right, my family is also preparing to sign up."

"My family is the same."

"That's right. Although I don't know what the blueprint looks like, it must be amazing that the young master could arrange it specially."

"It's a bit expensive, but it's for our family and our children and grandchildren, so it's the right thing to do."

"Yes, yes, I think it's right to follow along."

Many of them are farmers who work hard in the fields. Some of them had little property at home before they encountered disasters and fled. How much have they seen of the world?

If they miss this opportunity now, it will be difficult for them to build it again in the future.

After all, the appearance of a house can be drawn, but how to build it requires craftsmen. If there are no skilled craftsmen, no matter how much money you pay, it will be useless.

Yang Xianglian saw that she had asked almost all the questions and had a rough idea in her mind, so she said to the others, "It's getting late now, I have to go home and cook, see you later."

The others also looked at the sky, said goodbye with reluctance, and went home.

Please give me some votes, see you tomorrow~~~
