After a night of sufficient sleep, the young women looked much healthier. At nearly two in the afternoon, three vehicles finally drove into the village. As Zhuo Ya stepped out of the car, she was immediately surrounded by a bunch of small white dogs. Soon after, Da Huang and Xiao Huang approached, bringing along the large Hu Tou, which startled the little girl, causing her to dive back into the vehicle. "Why are there two tigers at home?"
"No, there are three!"
Xu Li chuckled as he got out of the car and whistled. Accompanied by a loud Tiger Roar, Dahua came running from the backyard fields, affectionately rubbing against Xu Li's thigh and purring softly.
He brought a collar and slipped it around Dahua's neck, leading her to the front of the passenger vehicle and pointing at the frightened group inside. "They will be villagers from now on. You and your children cannot attack them, understand?"
Dahua stretched lazily and lay down by his feet. Xu Li waved at the women in the car. "It's fine; come on out."
Seeing that the girls were hesitant to exit, the driver mustered his courage and stepped out of the vehicle. Dahua glanced at him but ignored him. With someone taking the lead, it became easier for everyone else to follow suit. Soon, one by one, the girls got out of the car, grabbed their meager luggage, and instinctively formed two lines in front of the vehicle.
Ivan approached Xu Li with a grin as he looked at the tiger on the ground. "I remember your Tiger Cub is white, right?"
"This is its mother; I've adopted her to help guard my home."
Xu Li led them into the house. If there wasn't enough space to sit down, they could use the guest room or entertainment room. Looking at all the women filling up his home, Xu Li felt overwhelmed and shot an annoyed glare at Brother Ivan. Ivan just grinned foolishly in response. "Hey, Brother Ivan came to your place; you should at least treat us nicely."
"How shameless can you be?"
Xu Li huffed in annoyance and called Andreev. "Is everything ready in the house?"
"Not a single room is fit for anyone to stay in."
Andreev set down what he was working on. "Your place is big enough; let them stay with you for now. We'll figure out how to rebuild over here since we have construction workers available. Once they're done with their current tasks, they can help build new houses."
Xu Li paused for a moment before responding. "Do you really think my house can accommodate everyone?"
"Have you switched careers to become a trafficker?"
Andreev exploded at that remark; if these women started working for wages, Xu Li would undoubtedly share profits with them at some point, meaning he would end up with less himself. Was he going to be happy about that?
"Stop giving me useless excuses! Have your wife go door-to-door to find rooms for them! Tomorrow we’ll redistribute labor; all you men will chop wood and build houses!"
After hanging up, he glanced at the anxious crowd and forced a smile onto his face. "I’m Makarov; from now on, I’ll be your boss and also your village chief. I know what you’ve been through; here you will have endless work but also your own little courtyards that you will help build yourselves. If you have any opinions or suggestions, feel free to voice them."
The newcomers were too intimidated by their new surroundings to express any dissent; however, one young woman raised her hand timidly. "Will we have enough food to eat?"
