On the wedding day, I was broken off, so I remarried his uncle

When the couple led a large group of people to Songjia Village, the villagers were shocked to see such a scene.

Although they were informed by the clan leader early in the morning that the girl from the Song family would bring people over today, they were not required to stop them.

But when he saw so many strong laborers coming, he still had some concerns in his heart.

One villager asked worriedly, "Girl, what are you doing bringing so many people to the village?"

Song Xile also understood that he couldn't let anyone have any grudges in their hearts, and he hoped that both sides could live in harmony.

So she simply stopped and her uncle from the same village explained: "I bought a hill in the back mountain. I am leading people to clear the dead branches and weeds on the hill and plant medicinal herbs on it."

When the villagers heard this, they were inspired. "Child, if you have work to do, come find us. There are people in your uncles' families who can do this kind of work."

Song Xile did not refuse directly, but explained: "These are all uncles in my husband's family who lost their land. It just so happened that they just needed to hire people to open up the wasteland. Now there are enough people. When the medicinal herbs are harvested in the second half of the year, I will definitely ask the uncles in the village to help. Don't refuse when the time comes!"

"Okay, okay, okay, uncle will definitely go when the time comes!" The villager who asked the question agreed with a smile on his face.

Song Xile's words were very appropriate. He not only explained why he didn't hire the villagers, but also promised to hire them next time.

The villagers felt relieved when they heard this. Ben also mentioned it casually. The tribe leader said that the pumpkins would be harvested in the next few days, so they would not have the time to help others open up the wasteland.

After greeting the villagers at the entrance of the village, the couple returned home with their people.

At this time, the Qiao brothers had already arrived and were sitting in the yard chatting with Old Song.

When they saw Song Xile and his group coming, the people in the yard quickly stood up and went out to greet them.

Old Song had never expected his daughter to bring so many people with her. He opened his mouth in surprise, "This... so many people, isn't it too many?"

Song Xile smiled and said, "Dad, it's not much. It happens that in a few days, my family will have to pick pumpkins and sell pumpkins, and these things all need manpower."

When Old Song heard his daughter say this, he agreed and said, "Then I will take them there now?"

Song Xile said, "Dad, there's no rush to open up the wasteland. Divide them into groups first, and then build sheds for each group so that they have a place to rest at night."

Old Song was surprised, "So we can eat and live here?"

Song Xile nodded, "The pumpkin field is about to enter the harvest season, it would be safer to have more people guarding it."

Old Song nodded, "Okay, let's do it as you say!"

So Song Xile divided the forty-five people into five groups, each with nine people, and selected a team leader to manage the team.

Song Xile also promised them that as long as they completed the assigned tasks well, they would be rewarded with extra high-yield pumpkin seeds.

Everyone was very excited after hearing this.

On the way to Songjia Village, Song Xile told them that in addition to asking them to reclaim the mountain, they also needed help in harvesting pumpkins.

They had never seen a pumpkin, but after hearing the description that pumpkin was a high-yield crop, everyone was fascinated.

Now they can also get pumpkin seeds, which makes them more motivated.

Song Xile agreed with everyone, and then he and Old Song led the people to the back mountain.

Standing at the foot of the mountain, looking at the fence wall that stretches for several miles ahead, you can vaguely see the green branches of vines inside. Some people couldn't help but stand on tiptoe to see what's inside.

Song Xile didn't care about everyone's curious looks. He pointed to the empty space at the foot of the mountain and said to everyone, "Let's build a thatched hut here first!"

Everyone immediately got busy. Some went up the mountain to cut wood, some laid the foundation, and some followed Old Song to get straw to cover the roof.

After everyone left, Song Xile said to the Qiao brothers, "Two big brothers, I will leave the patrol here to you. If anyone causes trouble, you don't have to worry about it. Just arrest them without mercy!"

Qiao Da bowed, "Don't worry, Madam Song."

Song Xile had just arranged the people in the back mountain when Second Brother Song came running back panting.

"Little sister, little sister, go back quickly, the county magistrate has brought people to the village!"

When Song Xile heard this, she immediately turned around and walked back. She didn't expect the county magistrate to act so quickly.

When Song Xile returned home, he saw County Magistrate Zhou talking to Yun You, and the head of the Song clan, who was standing nearby, was also pulled aside to talk.

Behind the county magistrate, there was a large group of people following him. They seemed to be the heads of the villages or the elders of the clan.

When Chen Yunyou saw his wife coming over, he suggested to County Magistrate Zhou, "Hearing is believing, seeing is believing. Since you have brought all the headmen of the villages here today, why don't you take everyone to have a look now?"

County Magistrate Zhou had just that in mind. He turned around and said to the village headman who was talking to Chief Song, "Since everyone is here, let Chief Song take us to see the high-yield pumpkin!"

Patriarch Song was being asked questions that made his mouth dry. He heaved a sigh of relief and nodded repeatedly, "Everyone follow me, follow me!"

The group of people eagerly followed the pace of Patriarch Song and headed for the pumpkin base. After they saw with their own eyes the endless pumpkins on the vines, they could no longer remain calm.

If their village could also grow this pumpkin, the people would not have to worry about going hungry.

"Sir, I wonder how much this pumpkin is for? Our village wants to buy some!"

"And our village. Our village also wants to buy some, but we only want pumpkin seeds. Can the price be cheaper?"

“…”

Some village heads who are familiar with the head of the Song clan have already pulled people over to start bargaining.

County Magistrate Zhou was also shocked by the scene before him, and he did not come to his senses until he was surrounded by the village head's pleading voice.

He tried his best to suppress the excitement in his heart, and said to the group of village heads who were praying: "This is not the place to talk, let's find a place and sit down to talk!"

Chen Yunyou immediately led County Magistrate Zhou to his father-in-law's house.

Because there were so many people, the group led by County Magistrate Zhou sat down in the courtyard of Old Song's house.

"It's like this. This pumpkin was grown with great effort by Songjia Village. I have already been the matchmaker for you. As for the price that the people of Songjia Village will sell it for, it's up to them to make an offer."

The village heads and elders who were present felt a jolt in their hearts.

Such high-yield seeds obviously wouldn't be cheap, and the face of the not-so-wealthy village chief looked visibly ugly.

Everyone's fiery gazes fell on Patriarch Song.

Patriarch Song couldn't stand such expectant looks, so he quickly waved to Song Xile to tell everyone about her plan.
