Traveling through time and space to meet a replacement bride? But I’m a man!
Chapter 218 The Village Chief’s Dignity
Not surprisingly, Xu Wenyan didn't get out of bed the next morning.
He just felt sore all over, especially in his lower body, and his legs were very weak and numb.
Last night Xu Wenyan felt like he was going to die.
This bastard is really crazy when he does things randomly. Xu Wenyan supported himself and got out of bed. As soon as he went out, he saw Chen Sanlin coming in with hot porridge.
Chen Sanlin looked at Xu Wenyan with a smile, and hurried over to lend her a hand: "Wife, take a rest, tell me what you want, it's too tiring for you to walk.
"Damn it, Immortal Banban, Chen Sanlin, I really want to kick... Ouch, shit." Xu Wenyan had just raised his leg when a slight tearing sensation made him put it down quickly.
"Wife, wife." Chen Sanlin hurriedly helped him back to the bed.
Xu Wenyan stared at him, and soon sighed, "Forget it, just let it be a rebellious child. After all, they have been married for more than a year, it would be abnormal if they didn't do something."
"What about the rest?"
Seeing that his wife had calmed down, Xu Wenyan walked over and sat beside him, carefully feeding him porridge.
"I'm going to plant potatoes. Didn't you approve some land yesterday? We're going to reclaim it in the afternoon. All the potatoes at home were planted this morning." Chen Sanlin replied softly.
After drinking the porridge, Xu Wenyan rested for a while and then got up to find Chen Xingjie. Today was the day to divide the land for those villagers who did not have land deeds.
It won’t work if there is no one to support the village chief.
The two of them walked slowly on the road. Xu Wenyan refused to let Chen Sanlin carry him on his back. He let Chen Sanlin support him all the way. There was no other way. He had to be responsible for the trouble his wife had suffered.
And even if he was asked to take care of his wife like this every day, he would naturally be happy to do so, but he was afraid that his wife would beat him.
"You're here." Chen Xingjie walked towards the two of them, holding yesterday's booklet in his hand, and was obviously very nervous.
The three of them walked towards the ancestral hall. At this time, many villagers had already gathered in front of the hall.
"Everyone, be quiet." Although Chen Xingjie's voice was loud, the villagers underground had no intention of stopping and were still discussing something.
"Whoever keeps complaining will lose this year's arable land." Xu Wenyan said calmly. His voice was not loud and only the people in the front rows could hear it.
At this time, the people behind saw that the people in front were silent and only dared to ask in a low voice.
Xu Wenyan held his waist and took the book from Chen Xingjie: "You seem to have forgotten that you don't have a land deed, so this land is not yours.
Hey, what would happen if you said that our village chief didn't like someone and refused to rent land to him? "
These few seemingly soft words completely grasped the villagers' psychology.
Several people who presented Xu Wenyanqing also helped to say: "Captain Xu, what you said is true. We are all good villagers and will definitely listen to the village chief. After all, this land will not be available for purchase in a few years."
Xu Wenyan just hoped that Chen Xingjie could be more assertive. He couldn't show mercy to them at the beginning, so he could only suppress them first and then be a little nicer to them.
They will be grateful. If you are nice to these people from the beginning, they will only become more difficult to discipline in the end. Humans are very despicable creatures.
What you can't get is what you cherish the most.
It’s like a good child. If he does something bad, he will be criticized by everyone. On the contrary, if a naughty child suddenly does something good, he will be praised by the whole class and the teacher.
"Village chief, what should we do if we don't have seeds?"
There were complaints from the crowd.
After all, Wang Zeren and his team brought seeds directly when they came, and now they have left with most of the food, so there is really nothing for them to plant at this time.
Chen Xingjie looked at Xu Wenyan with some worry. Obviously, he had not expected this situation.
But in Xu Wenyan's opinion, this is a gamble and an investment.
He plans to sell potato flour for a long time in the future, and importing potatoes from the village is the most time-saving and labor-saving way.
Xu Wenyan patted Chen Xingjie on the shoulder and nodded at him: "This is indeed a problem. The village chief discussed it with us yesterday. We will provide you with seeds, and when the harvest comes, you will provide us with 30% of the harvest.
Those who agree can just sign up and bring the seeds back tomorrow, and those who disagree can just find a way out.
The village chief is not your parents. A lot of effort has been put into this land issue, and everyone now knows what the situation is outside.
When you get the house and land depends on when you wake up."
Everyone could hear the pros and cons in Xu Wenyan's words. Compared with the previous 95%, 30% was really not much. Xu Wenyan took advantage of their mentality and dared to charge such a high tax.
After all, Xu Wenyan himself needs start-up capital, so this kind of exploitation is positive exploitation. If he makes money in the future, Xu Wenyan can completely lead the entire village to become rich together.
At that time, making potato flour requires a lot of manpower, and the people in the village are slightly cheaper labor.
Chen Xingjie came over and whispered in Xu Wenyan's ear: "Brother Xu, is this okay? We don't have that much money."
This is not Chen Xingjie's fault. He has been busy with the handover work with Wang Zeren these days and didn't know Xu Wenyan was setting up a stall.
Including the previous three taels, Xu Wenyan now has more than four taels in his hand, and it is more than enough to buy seeds with three taels of silver.
"We had some money before, enough."
Although these villagers were stubborn, in the end everyone signed. They had no choice.
Chen Xingjie is going to the county tomorrow, and Xu Wenyan can take him with him. Now is the time to go back to farm.
Chen Sanlin squatted in front of Xu Wenyan: "Wife, I'll carry you."
"You have a conscience." Xu Wenyan lay on Chen Sanlin with peace of mind, still smelling the fresh scent he liked.
"Wife, I want it again today." Chen Sanlin squinted his eyes and slightly turned his head to look at Xu Wenyan.
Xu Wenyan immediately grabbed his throat and said, "Chen Sanlin, you deserve a beating."
"Haha, wife, you are wrong."
"Where is wrong."
Chen Sanlin thought for a while and said, "I should talk about it tonight."
"Hey, you kid."
Without waiting for Xu Wenyan to react, Chen Sanlin carried him and ran away. This guy ran very fast, and Xu Wenyan could only hold his neck and let his hair float in the wind.
They are still teenagers after all.
After returning home, Xu Wenyan discussed with Xiaohu about using his family's acre of wasteland to grow Houttuynia cordata.
Xiaohu agreed readily. After all, he was the only one in his family and he couldn't finish cultivating all the land. Fortunately, he had so many livestock at home.
Xiaohong eats a lot and poops a lot every day. The fields at home have been fertilized. I have made the pork bone soup today and am just waiting to sell it tomorrow.
I don’t know how business is going in the past two days.
