The billionaire girl: Daddy and Mommy, love me again

"After the flood and plague, the population of Cangwu Town and Pingyang County at the foot of the mountain has been reduced by half, and all the houses have been destroyed. Everyone wants to build a house before winter, so a large number of blue bricks are urgently needed. Our opportunity to make money has come. While the land is cheap now, we can buy more and use it to build shops and houses in the future."

Cheng Zeli continued to analyze it with everyone.

The villagers' eyes lit up and their hearts were filled with excitement. The more they listened, the brighter the light in their eyes became. They were all rubbing their hands, wishing they could go down the mountain immediately to show their skills and start their grand undertakings.

"But buying land, building brick kilns, and harvesting tea seeds all cost money. How can we afford that much money?"

Cheng Dafu's words were like a bucket of cold water, extinguishing everyone's enthusiasm. The villagers who were full of energy and enthusiasm a moment ago were now dejected and drooping their shoulders.

"Why don't we just try to get together and do as much as we can."

"Why don't we harvest the tea oil seeds first? Tea oil seeds can't wait, and they will all fall off after a while."

"We need to seize the opportunity to build a brick kiln. The sooner we build the kiln, the sooner we can sell the bricks. We can make more money. Besides, the cost of a brick kiln is lower. We only need to buy a mountain at the foot of the mountain. The soil is already available on the mountain."

"It's urgent to buy land to build shops. When more people come back in a while, the land price may go up."

“And pastry shops can also make some money during this time!”

"........"

The villagers spoke freely and expressed their opinions. After Cheng Zeli's reminder, they opened up their minds and found that opportunities to make money were everywhere.

"Okay, okay, let's get the money together first."

Upon hearing this, the villagers dispersed and went home to get money. After a while, they came back excitedly.

"Village Chief, here, these six and a half taels are all my family's assets."

Cheng Sanyue's wife, Mrs. Wu, readily handed a handful of silver in her hand to Cheng Dafu.

"Yi boy, remember this quickly. Cheng Sanyue's family has 6 taels and a half."

"Wait a minute, wait a minute, village chief, I still have 180 coins, write them all together, hehe!"

Cheng Sanyue took out an old bag from his arms and poured out a pile of copper coins.

"Well, Cheng Sanyue, you dared to hide some private money behind my back. Tell me if you have any more."

Mrs. Wu pulled Cheng Sanyue's ear, furious.

"Ouch, ouch, be gentle, old woman, be gentle, my ears are about to be torn off.

No more, no more. All the money in the family is with you. This is the 180 coins I saved for decades. I have no more. "

The men in the crowd looked at Cheng Sanyue, whose ears were twisted and whose face was wrinkled with pain. They looked at each other and couldn't help shuddering. They touched their chests guiltily and secretly glanced at their wives from time to time, wondering whether they should take out the private money they had hidden with great difficulty. They wondered whether they would be beaten to death if they took it out.

"Wife...wife, I...I have something to tell you, please come with me."

After thinking for a long time, they finally made up their minds. They tacitly pulled their wives away, hid in a corner where no one could see them, confessed their crimes, and sought lenient treatment.

Not long after, they returned with their ears red as if bleeding and their heads hung low.

After pooling the efforts of the entire village and emptying every household savings, even adding in the one or two cents of New Year's money that the children received, they finally raised more than two hundred taels of silver.

This amount of money is enough to buy a few pieces of land or collect tea oil seeds, but if you want to build a brick factory, you need to buy a mountain, which is far from enough.

At this time, Li came over with her mother Zhou.

"I have 150 taels of silver here. If you don't mind the small amount, I'll give it to you first."

Zhou placed a large bag of silver and copper coins on the table, which made a dull sound.

This money was the one hundred taels I lent to Cheng Zeli last time to buy food, and everyone paid it back to her.

"this......."

The crowd looked at each other, not knowing whether they should accept it or not.

"Why, do you think we are not from Chengjia Village? I accepted all the wild boar meat and fish that everyone shared with me without even a hint of refusal.

Could it be that in everyone's eyes, we outsiders are the kind of people who only take in but never give out, who can only share the good times but not the bad times?"

"Mrs. Zhou, you are exaggerating. It is not like that. We think that Master Li will come down the mountain to open a private school, and it will cost a lot of money to set up a family business.

What will you do if we take your money?

"Don't worry about this, everyone. Let's focus on the urgent matters first. The private school can be set up later."

"this......"

Cheng Dafu hesitated and couldn't make up his mind, so he turned to look at Old Man Cheng.

Old Man Cheng nodded at him.

"Well, then we'll take the money, even if you invest... what did you invest?"

"Buy shares!"

"Ah, yes, that's right, it means buying shares, and when the investment is recovered, we will give everyone money every six months, which is... dividends."

"Okay, let's do as Village Chief Cheng says."

Seeing that they were finally willing to accept the money, Zhou secretly breathed a sigh of relief and stood quietly aside to tease the little granddaughter in Li's arms.

The little guy is more than three months old. He is white and chubby, with big watery eyes. He always smiles at everyone he sees, and no one can move their legs away when they see him.

"There is one more thing, Madam Zhou, please stop saying we are outsiders or not. From the day you fled to this valley with us, we have been one family.

If you hadn’t lent money to Ze Li to buy food and share it with everyone, Chengjia Village might not be in its current state, and most people would have starved to death.”

"Yes, you also married your precious daughter to our Chengjia Village and gave birth to a daughter for us. You are the benefactor of our entire family."

"Yes, yes, yes, don't say such foreign words anymore, we are a family."

"Okay, okay! No more, no more, no more. We are also part of Chengjia Village. Thank you for accepting us.

I, Li Zhou, swear here that I will never betray Chengjia Village and will not do anything that will harm Chengjia Village. If I break this oath, I am willing to be driven out of Chengjia Village, have no place to live, be plagued by bad luck, and die a miserable death. "

As the oath came to an end, a loud thunder suddenly sounded in the clear sky.

The thunder falls, and the oath is fulfilled!

Together with the silver Zhou had contributed, the total was only four hundred taels. This amount of silver was just a drop in the bucket for buying a mountain.

Just as everyone was sitting together, frowning and worrying, a strong aroma of medicinal herbs wafted into their noses.

Two slightly purple ginsengs as thick as an adult's arms appeared out of thin air in Cheng Laoer's account book with their roots and leaves. There was still moist soil on the ginsengs, which showed that they were freshly unearthed.

"Ginseng, so...big!"

Everyone stared at the ginseng in astonishment, like wooden men. There was complete silence. The cave, which was crowded with people, was so quiet that not even the sound of breathing could be heard. Only the sound of the waterfall could be heard from outside the cave.

Everyone held their breath and kept their mouths tightly shut, fearing that if they opened their mouths, the ginseng would turn into two dolls and run away.

“Hehe…, yiyiyaya…!”

Everyone turned their heads to look at the little ball of milk in Li's arms.

This little guy doesn't even have the cover-up to hide his true intentions.
