The first step to a rich country is to get rich first and then get richer

Their village is now almost entirely planted with peppers, but this is still not enough to supply Lan Ning, so she bought a lot of land and paid the villagers to plant them.

Lan Ning's family became the family with the most land in Luojia Village, and could be considered a small landlord.

As a small landlord, she did not provoke others, but some people disliked them.

A large group of people came to their Luojia Village with great momentum, and they were displeased by the prosperous scene.

The leader of this group of villains winked at his men behind him, and a burly man immediately understood what the boss meant.

The first person to come out was a man with a hostile look on his face, walking towards the farmer who was staring at them in the field.

This ferocious expression and that burly figure scared the people of Luojia Village in the fields so much that they tightly grasped the farm tools in their hands and kept backing away.

"Fuck it, why are you running? Come here."

After the man said this, he grabbed a man by the collar and pulled him over.

"Answer me honestly to whatever I ask you. If you dare to lie to me, be careful or I'll kill you."

The captured man trembled and nodded continuously.

"Big Brother, tell me, tell me, I will tell you everything I know."

The man who was caught was Zhang Hao, the second son of the Zhang family.

The Zhang family has no land to farm in the village. Before, there were some people in the village who were on good terms with them, but since they found out that they were the ones who trafficked Lan Ning, no one in the village was willing to talk to them.

They didn't care at first. They would play tricks on each other every day and beat their wives when necessary.

But they don’t know what’s going on. Maybe it’s because of bad feng shui in their house. They are always robbed, and they can’t find out who stole their things.

No matter how much my mother cried, she still had to take the family's money to buy food again and again. Gradually, all the money was gone.

So they started selling off their property.

First it was my daughter-in-law's stuff, then my son's stuff, and finally the stuff of the two old people. In the end, there was really nothing left to sell.

Thefts kept happening, even though there was someone guarding the house every day.

Even though they had nothing to sell, the whole family still had to eat, so they decided to take over their land.

They begged the village chief to let Lan Ning and his family buy their land. If they went to find Lan Ning in person, Lan Ning would not even see them. Not only that, he would also let the wolves bite them.

They were left with no other options but to ask for help from the village chief. The village chief thought that after all, the man was from their village, so he agreed to the request.

When asked by Lan Ning, Lan Ning bought all the two acres of land from their family without saying a word.

Then that night, the eight taels of silver they got from selling the land were stolen by thieves.

For a while, the Zhang family members were howling in horror, and Grandma Zhang was so angry that she fainted several times. She raised her foot and wanted to kick my aunt, but when she saw her eyes, she took the kick back.

Her eldest daughter-in-law is very strange. After they were punished by God three years ago, her temperament changed drastically and her mood became unpredictable.

The eldest son was asked to divorce her several times, but the eldest daughter-in-law refused to do so, saying that she had to take care of their family for others to prevent them from going out and harming others.

The Zhang family was crying out to heaven and earth for help, but no one answered their calls.

Zhang Qin threatened her to divorce by refusing to sleep with her.

But he didn't care at all and kicked her out of the house and occupied their original room himself.

The family was so poor that these men, who usually enjoyed their fortune at home, were forced to go out and find ways to earn money.

It is impossible for them to find a job. For people like them who have not even done farm work, how can they do such tiring work?

So they went to find Lan Ning and his family, wanting to work for them, but to their surprise, they were completely ignored by the family.

So they went to find the original resident of the village, Luo Laizi, and made a deal with him to ask him to help Lan Ning's family farm.

They gave ten cents an acre, ten cents for plowing the land, ten cents for growing vegetables, and twenty cents for a good harvest.

Luo Laizi just rested at home, and they helped to farm the land. He only needed to pay them eight cents, and eighteen cents when there was a good harvest.

Luo Lai Zi was really a liar. When they said that, he was immediately tempted, but how could he let go of such a rare opportunity so easily?

"Five cents in normal times, ten cents in good harvests."

"What? So little? No, you can just sit at home and collect the money, but we are actually working in the fields. So, seven cents, seven cents, no less."

"Four."

Luo Laizi picked his nose, dug out a lump of mosaic, rubbed it with his hands and rubbed it on the sole of his shoe.

"Five cents is five cents. You can't go back on your word."

"Even if you regret it, I won't regret it. You guys go back. I'll go find that girl and her family right away."

Although Luo Laizi is a lazy man, he is a native resident of the village after all, so Lan Ning and the others have to give him face and give him the opportunity to work on two acres of land.

After signing the contract and putting fingerprints on it, Luo Laizi became responsible for the two acres of land, and no one else could take it away.

All the land that Lan Ning bought was planted with peppers, potatoes, sweet potatoes, and corn, while the two acres of land that Luo Laizi was allocated was planted with sweet potatoes.

This season is the time to pick the tips of sweet potatoes and eat them, but they had a lot of sweet potatoes and couldn't eat them all, so they sold them to Xianyuelou.

This is a seasonal product. You can't usually eat it even if you want to. And I've never eaten this thing before. It has only become popular in the past two years.

After Luo Laizi told the Zhang family about the tasks for the next two days, he went home to sleep.

The Zhang family cherished this opportunity very much. No one dared to play any tricks at this moment. Carrying baskets on their backs, except for Grandpa Zhang, Grandma Zhang and Auntie, everyone else went to the fields to pick sweet potato tips.

The tips of the sweet potatoes were emerald green like gems, making the people working in the fields envious. They had never eaten such a delicious thing before, and now there were so many of them. They would definitely not be discovered if they secretly took some back later.

As the saying goes, people from the same family tend to marry each other. With this thought in mind, a few people glanced at each other and immediately understood each other's meaning.

They worked very quickly. In just half a day, they finished picking all the sweet potato tips from an acre of land. They secretly hid a large handful and successfully delivered the tips to Luo Laizi.

The same thing happened on the second day and the day after. No one discovered what they had hidden, which led to them becoming more and more ambitious and working harder and harder. But who knew they would fail today.

Who is this person in front of me? He looks more ferocious than Brother Biao's men. Even when I am held up by the collar and stand on tiptoe, I am still a head shorter than him.

"Tell me where your landlord is. Ask her to come out. I have something to say to her."

"Lord, I don't know..."

I suddenly exerted more force while holding him, and the fresh air I could breathe suddenly became much less.

"I, I, I know."

The hand on the collar loosened a little, and Zhang Hao breathed a sigh of relief.
