But what frustrated them was that Li Xiaobao required too few people, allowing only one person per household.
"What's too few? It's not few at all, do you think you're here for retirement?"
Li Xiaobao looked at the crowd and harrumphed, "You are called here to work, to work for the better future of Kao Mountain Village!"
"Some of you don't think I can't see through your intentions, those who are too old just don't meddle, but if you want to meddle, you can sit in the village courtyard and bask in the sun, I'll definitely provide enough tea!" Li Xiaobao's words provoked a burst of laughter from the crowd.
"Another thing, don't think you can just show up and slack off, thinking it'll be fine. We're all villagers here, and if you don't pull your weight when it's time to work, don't blame me if I turn my back on you!"
Li Xiaobao knew there were quite a few such people in the village, so he gave them an early reminder.
"Don't worry, village chief, we won't!"
