Siheyuan (traditional courtyard house): 52 years of farming, producing hundreds of millions of tons

"Has the deaf old lady you're looking for been approved as a recipient of the Five Guarantees?"

An older woman from the next courtyard asked a question.

"Yes, it was announced by an old man at a hospital-wide meeting."

The three aunties answered.

"Another hospital-wide meeting?"

"I find your department quite strange; why do you hold so many department-wide meetings?"

“In our institute, unless it’s required by the subdistrict office to study the spirit of documents from higher authorities or for safety education, we never hold a general meeting for the entire institute.”

"Even if there is something going on, it's just a matter of gathering those people together."

The old lady from the next courtyard didn't understand.

Holding a general meeting for the entire college is a waste of everyone's time.

"Besides, being a recipient of the Five Guarantees isn't something to be proud of. Is it really necessary to hold a hospital-wide meeting to announce it?"

Another older woman chimed in.

Jia Zhangshi was very surprised that the deaf old lady had become a recipient of the Five Guarantees (a government-provided social welfare program for the elderly).

"The deaf old lady is an old woman, why should she be a recipient of the Five Guarantees?"

"Damn old man, I curse him to choke to death, fall to his death, choke on water, be hit by a car when he goes out, or fall into a cesspool and drown."

Jia Zhangshi was filled with resentment.

The deaf old woman, taking advantage of her age and seniority, hit her with her cane several times.

Don't let the deaf old lady's frail appearance fool you; when she hits someone with her cane, it really hurts!

Who gets picked, only they know!

When the deaf old lady became a recipient of the "Five Guarantees" (a government-provided social welfare program for the elderly), and someone used a cane to hit her, she dared not resist even more. How could she not hate them?

Jia Zhangshi didn't notice that the person behind her had turned pale.

She's a deaf old lady!

She was about to go out for a walk and stretch her legs when she saw a group of middle-aged women gossiping in the front yard. She thought she would join them.

As soon as she walked behind Jia Zhangshi, she heard Jia Zhangshi muttering curses at her.

Snapped!

The deaf old lady didn't hold back and slapped her cane down.

Hey!

Jia Zhangshi was hurt by the beating.

"Which old bastard is it...?"

Jia Zhangshi was furious.

When I turned around, I saw it was a deaf old lady, and I immediately felt a chill.

broken!

She reacted.

She must have heard her muttering and cursing under her breath at the deaf old woman.

"Zhang girl, didn't you curse me to die?"

Why did you stop talking?

The deaf old lady couldn't pull her cane down again.

Jia Zhangshi turned and ran.

Snapped!

The deaf old woman's cane landed on Jia Zhangshi's buttocks, and Jia Zhangshi let out another scream of pain.

The older women all laughed.

They were all very happy to see Jia Zhangshi being beaten.

The deaf old woman chased after her relentlessly, all the way to the Jia family's door, hitting Jia Zhangshi with her cane six times until she fled back home!

"Zhang girl, if you dare to gossip again, I'll break your legs!"

The deaf old lady issued a warning.

Six mu of land.

Wan Ping'an inspected the crops he had planted.

There were no problems.

Growing well!

Dean Wang arrived right after the examination was completed.

"I have great news for you. Your request to raise fish has been approved!"

"Take a look at the document, and if there are no problems, sign it."

Dean Wang gave Wan Ping'an a document.

Wan Ping'an took a look and noticed that the cooperation method had changed.

The document clearly states that as long as Wan Ping'an raises fish, he will have an indefinite and exclusive right to use Hulu Lake and the surrounding land.

In exchange, he has to hand over one-tenth of the net profit.

Wan Ping'an signed on the spot!

Dean Wang was pleased, as the profits from the breeding and handover would be used to conduct research on some new agricultural projects.

Dean Wang has passed away.

Qin Huairu came closer, a little shy and embarrassed.

"Is something the matter?"

Wan Ping'an took the initiative to inquire.

"Ping An, could you let my brother work at Liu Mu Di too?"

Qin Huairu has always been involved with Liu Mudi, so she is very clear about its development prospects.

It's just that the reputation hasn't spread yet. Once it does, every single position will be highly sought after, with people scrambling to get in!

"Okay, have your brother come tomorrow!"

Wan Ping'an nodded.

Qin Huairu's brother, Qin Dayong, seems to be a decent person from our brief interactions!

"Huai Ru, your brother can come to work, and your younger brother can come too. But there's one thing we need to make clear first, to avoid problems later."

"Since they're here, I can take extra care of them for your sake."

"But they can't do anything reckless, you understand what I mean?"

Wan Ping'an took preventative measures in advance.

“I understand. Don’t worry, I will explain it to my brother. He’s asking for six acres of land just like everyone else. He has no special status.”

Qin Huairu is a smart woman.

As soon as Wan Pingan opened his mouth, she knew what Wan Pingan was worried about.

She was also a little worried.

If Qin Dayong causes trouble, it will affect her relationship with Wan Ping'an.

She decided to go back and have a serious talk with Qin Dayong; if that didn't work, she would simply stop him from coming.

otherwise.

If something goes wrong.

Wan Ping'an will absolutely not show mercy.

She knew Wan Ping'an to some extent; he was loyal and righteous, yet ruthless and cruel—two contradictory traits that coexisted within him.

The next afternoon.

An unexpected person came to Liu Mu Di and specifically asked to see Wan Ping An.

"How did you come?"

Wan Ping'an looked at Zhang Laizi with surprise.

Some time ago.

Zhang Laizi took money from Yi Zhonghai and spread rumors about him, almost causing him heavy losses.

"I have some very important news about Yi Zhonghai. Do you want to know?"

Zhang Laizi glanced greedily at the flock of chickens not far away, then at the pumpkins and golden rice planted in the six mu of land, his mouth practically watering.
