The pretty widow is addicted to money, and the little wolfdog asks for a hug

He Jinrou thought that Gu Qinghuai would be very angry about this and attacked her on the spot, so that Zhao Xiaoshi could see that Gu Qinghuai was an uneducated and bad-tempered woman.

But what she didn't expect was that Gu Qinghuai seemed to be completely unaware and didn't even look at her.

This made her feel a little frustrated, and she felt like a fly jumping in front of a ferocious beast.

The iron tower-like woman behind Gu Qinghuai glanced at her unkindly, took out a beautiful teapot and teacup, and poured tea for Gu Qinghuai.

The teapot and teacup were obviously very expensive porcelains. They were white, delicate and lustrous, making the rough tea sets she had placed look as if they had rolled in a pile of mud.

A hint of sadness flashed across He Jinrou's eyes, and the next moment she saw Zhao Xiaoshi push the tea she had just poured far away, as if he disliked it being in the way.

No one noticed these little actions except He Jinrou and a few people involved. At this moment, the villagers' attention was focused on the good looks of Gu Laosi's family.

"If the father is ugly, the mother is ugly too. Look at the two old ladies over there. One is tough and the other is elegant. No matter which one, they both have good looks."

Zhu Meijun and Nangong Yun sat under a big locust tree, chatting and laughing about something, unaware that they had become the subject of discussion among the villagers.

"That's true. But Gu Guangzhi is also handsome, so all the children in the fourth branch of the Gu family, whether boys or girls, are so good-looking!"

"When my son and daughter marry in the future, they should still look for good-looking women. Just looking at them will make them feel good, and the babies they give birth to will be even better looking!"

"That's right. Good-looking people have better lives. Daughters can marry into wealthy families, and sons can marry rich girls. They can bring honor to the family."

A group of women gathered together, chatting one after another, with saliva flying and emotions flying.

The men nearby also listened with great interest, chuckling from time to time.

"You guys only see the surface, haven't you noticed that our village is going to change?" Old man Kang took a puff of his pipe, and a gleam of light flashed in his narrow eyes.

"Change? What's changing?"

Many people are puzzled.

Widow Liao glanced at Old Man Kang, then pulled Kang Damei and Kang Mancang to sit farther away.

Old Man Kang was her husband's uncle. After her husband died, Old Man Kang and his family wanted to wipe out her family. If He Lizheng had not stepped in, her family would have lost their house and several acres of land.

This old man and his family are all very shrewd, and Widow Liao doesn't want to have anything to do with him.

Old Man Kang pointed to the stage and said in a low voice, "Look at the stage. Except for He Lizheng, aren't all the people sitting there from the Gu family? Our village will be ruled by Old Fourth Gu's family from now on!"

When everyone looked, they found it was true.

"The fourth Gu family has finally made it. They are now in charge of village affairs. If you don't know them, you would think they are the head of the village."

"Alas, it's true that things change. A few months ago, Gu Laosi's family was the poorest in the village. They were looked down upon everywhere. Everyone was skinny and looked shabby. But look at them now, who isn't glamorous? They have all become the richest people in our village."

"This is all the blessing brought by Gu Qinghuai! That girl looks very lucky!"

"I remember when Gu Qinghuai first returned to her parents' home, everyone in the village said she was a widow who brought bad luck to her husband, a plague god, a bad ghost, and a slut. Who could have thought that she would bring such good luck to the family?"

"If my daughter was so capable, I wouldn't want her to get married."

There was a flash of disdain in Old Man Kang's eyes, "It's not a good thing for a woman to be too strong. Look, Gu Qinghuai is almost overshadowing He Lizheng, and she will definitely cause unrest in the village."

"Tsk, He Lizheng is about to be deprived of power, you don't have any objections, right?"

"Tsk, even if He Lizheng has no objection, how can his wife Luo be willing? Haven't you seen it every day? She always thinks she is the wife of the head of the village, and her nose is always upturned when she looks at people. I think there will be more trouble in the future."

"Who cares? As long as we live better and better, Gu Qinghuai has increased our income a lot. This year, my family sells wood ash and worms, and the money we earn is enough to buy coarse grains for half a year. We won't go hungry this winter."

"My family is the same! I heard that this big rally is to discuss the new way out that Gu Qinghuai has come up with for the village. He Lizheng is a good man, but he didn't lead us to a prosperous life. Gu Qinghuai is a good man. He Lizheng listened to Gu Qinghuai, and that's why we have a good life."

"That's right. I found that as long as you don't act like a jerk and don't take the initiative to provoke Gu Qinghuai, she is still a very easy person to talk to."

……

The villagers gathered in groups of three or five, talking among themselves. The meeting place was as noisy as boiling water.

He Lizheng took out the loudspeaker that Gu Qinghuai had prepared for him, coughed lightly, and his loud voice echoed throughout the entire venue.

"Everyone, be quiet! I asked you all to come to the meeting today because Ben Lizheng has something important to say. Anyone who makes a noise and disrupts the meeting will miss out on all the good things!"

As soon as the horn sounded, the scene became quiet. Even the children were suppressed by their parents and dared not say a word.

He Lizheng was also startled by his own suddenly louder voice. He straightened his face and continued, "Today I have three main things to talk about. The first is that our village plans to open a brick kiln factory and a charcoal factory. The initial investment for these two factories is about 200 taels of silver each."

"Two two hundred taels, that's four hundred taels! My God, who has so much silver?"

"He Lizheng won't let us pay for nothing, right?"

"My family has no money. If you force me to pay, you'll kill me!"

"The key is who knows how to make bricks and charcoal? These are hard technical jobs. If you do it carelessly, it will be a waste of manpower and resources!"

He Lizheng raised his hand, signaling the villagers to be quiet: "Everyone, please be patient and listen to me. If this wasn't a good thing, I wouldn't have asked you to come here.

For these two factories, Huai Yatou will provide half of the capital and all the technology, so she will take half of the profits, and the other half of the capital will be raised by the villagers, and the remaining profits will be divided according to the proportion of the invested capital. "

"What? Gu Qinghuai knows the techniques of making bricks and charcoal? Who are you trying to fool?" Ding Honglian curled her lips and didn't believe it at all.

Old Man Kang also nodded. "I have lived for decades and have seen many kiln firing masters. Everyone says that kiln firing techniques are difficult to learn and it is difficult to control the temperature. Even experienced craftsmen cannot guarantee that every kiln will be fired successfully. When did Huai girl acquire such skills?"

"That's right. If a teenage widow has such great abilities, where would those masters with decades of experience put their faces? These words don't sound credible!" Yuan Zian's mother, Mrs. Ji, rolled her eyes.
