"That's right," Zhang Rongqing added. "Brigade Leader, I think while everyone's here, any family that doesn't want to raise the cow should just say so now. It'll save us trouble later."
Liu Guozhi saw that Zhang Yazhen's face had turned green with rage and inwardly shook his head. He glanced at Xiong Jianjun. "Jianjun, what do you say?"
"I'll do it!" Xiong Jianjun snapped, then stood up and turned to leave.
"Jianjun, wait!" Liu Guozhi called out, stopping him. He took out a piece of paper. "Today, in front of me and Accountant Jin, the families who agree to raise the cow will come up and sign their names and leave a thumbprint. This will prevent trouble down the road."
Zhang Rongqing nodded. "The brigade leader's idea is perfect."
This was only the beginning. If the ox got sick later on, everyone would have to chip in for medicine. It would be a huge hassle if someone tried to back out then.
