It's really hard to just farm peacefully.

Chapter 289

Whether or not one can go out to work is not decided by Jiang Ying and Jiang Yan. This matter must be coordinated with the defense arrangements of Dongshan Village.

Jiang Wang counted every person in the village who was between thirteen and sixty, and after eliminating those who were in poor health or were on business trips and could not return, he found that there was one less person available than two years ago.

Jiang Wang put his hands behind his back, and a sudden worry appeared under his increasingly serious face.

He knew that the boys were quite strong after being ordered around, and they would occasionally fight behind the adults' backs, so he had some experience in fighting.

The girls were young before, so they were protected and not allowed to stand in the front row. But this time, the people who stayed in the village to lead the team don’t have much experience. Will it be okay to suddenly let them take over?

Jiang Wang looked around and wondered why, except for Jiang Yan and Jiang Ying, Jiang Fu, Jiang Ai and Jiang Yun seemed a little weak.

They all worked in the fields together, so their strength wasn't much different. But if a fight broke out, would swinging a hoe or a stick really scare anyone?

Jiang Wang looked at Jiang Fu and the other two and said, "Come on, pick up some sticks and hit the rock hard. I'll take a look."

Jiang Fu and the others did as they were told, swinging the batons with considerable force. Jiang Yan felt pain in his flesh and bones just by listening to it, but Jiang Wang still felt it was not enough.

What is the specific difference?

Wang Juhua stood aside and watched the fun. Jiang Ai and Jiang Yun were her granddaughters, and although she was usually most proud of their quiet and well-behaved nature, she also clapped loudly and enthusiastically when the two sticks came down.

Seeing Jiang Wang frowning and remaining silent, Wang Juhua felt a little unhappy. "What's the problem? We used all our strength, not even a penny saved."

"The strength is fine, but it's not impressive enough." Jiang Wang figured something out and said to Jiang Yan and Jiang Ying, "You two try it too."

Jiang Yan was the last one. When she swung the fire poker, the stick and the stone could not withstand the multiple rounds of blows and broke together.

Jiang Wang tilted his head and said to Wang Juhua, "You see, they are all about the same strength, but these two give people a fierce feeling, especially Jiang Yan. She looks like she is trying her best."

Wang Juhua silently digested this feeling and soon realized that it was just a competition of who was more ruthless. This was something she often did when she was young.

When she first got married, her family wasn't as harmonious and worry-free as it is now. That old man, who changed his attitude after the birth of a child, and his unreasonable mother wanted to take advantage of her physical discomfort and set rules for her, and if she didn't obey, they wanted to punish her.

Wang Juhua immediately got up from the kang, picked up a carrying pole and a stick, and said that it didn't matter and she could just kill him and his mother and run away to start a new life. But after two or three times, she completely broke their thoughts and made them submit.

The same principle applies when fighting with outsiders. First of all, you cannot be timid in terms of momentum.

When Jiang Yun and the other two were taken aside for emergency training, Jiang Ying winked at Jiang Yan, and Jiang Yan responded with gritted teeth.

In the end, the two of them asked for a basin of water from Grandpa Jiang Quan's house nearby. After looking left and right, they really couldn't see whether they or the other party had the life-and-death temperament that Grandpa Jiang Wang talked about.

But that wasn't important. Jiang Ying and Jiang Yanzhu were whispering behind Jiang Wang about the county pharmacy hiring workers and how they wanted to try their luck in the city.

Jiang Wang was puzzled at first, "Does the pharmacy still recruit girls?" He then asked Jiang Ying, "Do your grandparents know about this?"

Jiang Ying quietly pulled her neck into her collar.

Jiang Wang was somewhat helpless: "The village is still counting on you two for protection... Forget it, if you want to go, just go and give it a try."

"We will go with Jiang Yuan and Jiang Nian tomorrow and come back after getting the results." Jiang Yan responded quickly.

Finally, knowing that it would be bad to desert at such a critical moment, he added, "The pharmacy only needs one person. Don't worry, one of us will definitely be able to come back."
