Several families came to the village on their own initiative, but were turned away by the village chief.

Several people were dissatisfied: "Why can other people in the village participate but we can't?"

When the village head's wife saw that they had a bad attitude, she raised her voice louder than theirs: "If you want to blame someone, blame your own gossipy wife! If you have time, please criticize her. If you don't have time, please stay out of other people's business!"

These people thought about it and figured out the reason. They shouted that they should ask their wives to apologize to Xie Jiaojiao.

But Xie Jiaojiao also said that she didn't need to apologize or anything like that. They wouldn't have a share this year anyway. If she was in a good mood next year, maybe they would...

Several people clenched their fists, helpless...they could only go back.

I heard that on that day, in addition to the He family, several other families also beat their wives at home...

Through this incident, everyone also understood that Xie Jiaojiao was a person who would never give up revenge! It was not that she would not take revenge, it was just that the time had not come yet.

I felt in my heart that no one should mess with Xie Jiaojiao, because she is capable and can make money with everyone!

Last year, Xie Jiaojiao's family planted four acres of land, plus the village chief's two acres, Wang Po's two acres, and the other five families' two acres each, which adds up to more than ten acres of sugarcane.

There will be no shortage of brown sugar this year. According to the contract signed between Xie Jiaojiao and them before, all the brown sugar boiled from the sugarcane grown in the village can only be sold to her!

She can make a lot of money just by being a middleman and earning the difference!

Before gathering everyone together, Xie Jiaojiao told the village chief that if he wanted everyone in the village to grow sugarcane, then they must follow her instructions. Otherwise, she would rather give up this lucrative business than let others take advantage of her and make trouble with her.

The village chief understood what she meant and immediately said that he would take care of the matter and guaranteed that such a thing would not happen!

With the village chief's assurance, Xie Jiaojiao nodded.

Everyone has been envious of others for a long time last year, and this year it is finally their turn. Now is the slack season for farming, and everyone wants to earn some money for the New Year. Moreover, if they plant sugarcane, they can make more money next year. Look, Xie Jiaojiao's family has built a blue brick and tile house to sell food. Even if they don't talk about building a blue brick and tile house, it's good to be able to buy more meat.

The village chief stood in front of everyone and repeated what Xie Jiaojiao had worried about before.

"Miss Xie is willing to bring out this profitable business and help us make money together. We should thank her! Don't take advantage of others and then talk about them!"

Some people in the crowd lowered their heads when these words were spoken.

The village chief continued, "There is also the problem of this seedling. If I knew which household had leaked this seedling, I would never let it go easily. Not only would I drive that person out, I would also report to the government office with Miss Xie! Let him compensate for the losses of our villagers! So... everyone must supervise each other! Take good care of your own wife and mother, don't be reluctant to leave your mother's family or your daughter, and secretly leak out our village's livelihood, let alone let one person ruin our livelihood! Miss Xie also said that if we do well, it won't be a problem for anyone to have wine and meat. If we do this for a few years, it won't be a problem for every household to build a blue brick and tile house!"

Xie Jiaojiao: ………The rest is something he made up himself…

However, when these words came out, the villagers reacted greatly, and many people showed their expectations for the future...

Someone immediately asked, "Miss Xie, don't worry, as long as you can help us make money, we brothers will guard the entrance to the village for you and will not let this stuff get out!"

The person who spoke was a sturdy man. I heard that he used to travel with cargo merchants, like a bodyguard. He came back because he injured his leg. He has several brothers in the village, and they all look very sturdy!

Seeing how strong he was, Xie Jiaojiao believed his words a little and nodded, saying, "If it's as you said, I can give you one or two taels of silver a year, as long as you protect our livelihood!"

The villagers looked at him with envy. He had never expected that a casual remark of his would have such a reward. He immediately said firmly: "As long as Miss Xie trusts me, I will live up to your trust!"

One tael of silver!

He had an injured leg, and although it was no problem for him to walk, he had trouble working in the fields, and it was not convenient for him to go out to earn money. With this tael of silver, his wife and children could live a better life with him.

Seeing that he agreed, Xie Jiaojiao didn't say anything else, and said to the villagers: "Also, if any of you want to grow sugarcane, you must sign a contract with me. Last year, everyone signed it."

Several people from last year nodded.

Xie Jiaojiao added: "We signed the contract not for anything else but to constrain each other, so that the sugarcane you planted can be sold."

Everyone who signed last year signed, and no one had any objections.

"If everyone agrees, then that's it. Those who are willing to work can stay, and those who don't want to work can go back first. I will notify everyone after the seeds are out."

Xie Jiaojiao didn't mention wages, so many people thought they were working for free, so most of them left. As for the rest, Xie Jiaojiao said, "You help us harvest sugarcane, and I'll still give you ten cents per person per day. When the time comes to plant sugarcane, you'll be the first to plant it!"

The people who stayed behind instantly felt that they had gotten a great bargain and were very happy!

Most of the people who left felt regretful, thinking that the girl from the Xie family was too scheming. If she had said she wanted money, who wouldn't want to stay?

That was settled, and the remaining few people helped to harvest sugarcane.

After Niu Fusheng's own thinking and Xie Jiaojiao's guidance, he finally managed to make the tools before the sugarcane harvest. Xie Jiaojiao went to the field to cut a few sugarcanes and tried it. This method was like the sugar press of later generations, and it was much more efficient.

After paying the deposit, Niu Fusheng hurriedly made a few more units. It was the first time that Niu Fusheng received such an order personally. He was very happy and promised Xie Jiaojiao that all of them would be made before they harvested the sugarcane!

The two acres of flat land near the new house has been built.

When they were renovating the house, Xie Jiaojiao asked them to build the dam first because she was in a hurry to use it, and now it comes in handy.

We first collected the fruits for Xie Jiaojiao’s family. Since there were many people this year, we finished collecting them in just a few days!

Sun Ruhua, along with Tian Hu's grandmother and Wang Po, set up several stoves in the warehouse, specifically for making brown sugar.

When the new people who joined this year found out that this sugarcane was actually used to make brown sugar, they were shocked. This thing can be used to make brown sugar!

One of the people who helped last year said with a smile: "Miss Xie kept it very secret. Last year, each of us took one back home, but Miss Xie said we couldn't tell anyone about it, so none of us said anything."

"I mean, why when I greeted you, I saw you holding something in your arms? Your belly was so big!"

The person who said this smiled and continued working.

This is brown sugar! What a precious thing! I regretted why I didn't go with him last year, otherwise his family would be able to sell this brown sugar this year!

When I thought of this, I looked at my neighbor with envy and really wanted to slap myself a few times!
