The little ancestor of the family

The villager looked dazed: "I, I can't count!"

The head of the village patted him on the shoulder and said, "That's right, I can't count either.

Because the money allocated each day is too little!

That’s why I said you got a great deal!”

"Uncle Lizheng is so awesome!"

"You still need to study more. Look, the village head has studied for two years, so he knows a lot!"

"That's right. Such a huge amount of money makes my head dizzy just by hearing it."

I was enjoying one of the few bright moments in my life, thinking happily:

"I calculated this for seven or eight days, working day and night. How can it not be amazing?"

Zhao Fusheng listened for a long time with a frown, but still couldn't figure out what was going on.

Just don't think about it anymore.

"Okay, it's just one or two taels of silver! I agree!

But I gave you the money, and you must allow us to dig the canal immediately. Farming time does not wait for anyone, and if we delay any longer, this year's harvest will be ruined!"

"to make!"

The head of the village also agreed very readily.

That afternoon, Zhao Fusheng sent someone to deliver the money.

However, problems arose when taking people up the mountain to dig a canal.

The people of Donggou Village looked at Milu Mountain, which was seven or eight miles away from the village, and began to make their own plans.

"Village head, my family only has two acres of land. Can we use one less person when digging the canal?"

"Village head, my family's fields are the last to use water, so let those who use water first do more work!"

"The grass in the field has grown taller than the seedlings. I am the only one in my family. How can I have the time to dig the canal? Uncle Lizheng, please have pity on me and don't let me go!"

Zhao Fusheng didn't expect that the humiliation he had suffered in Yunbian Village would be exacted back on him by the villagers in his own village.

"You guys, at this time, are you still arguing about these things, about who works more, who works less and who loses a piece of meat or something like that?"

"Village head, we have to be fair in everything. If we want to use this water, we have to work, right? Why are there still people trying to fish in troubled waters?"

"Touch your uncle's fish!"

"I think you're asking for a fight!"

……

There was a lot of noise in Donggou Village about the canal digging, but by sunset there was still no progress made.

In Yunbian Village, as soon as Ye Xinran and her friends arrived home, the village head came running over happily.

"Niece, let me tell you, our village received one or two taels of silver today.

Although you were told that you own half of the mountain, your share will have to wait until you pay off the money you owe to the county magistrate.

I'm telling you, don't be anxious!"

Ye Xinran smiled and said, "I understand, Uncle Lizheng. I'm not in a hurry!"

"Hey!" The head of the village pinched his beard.

"How can I not be anxious about making money? Look at you guys, you bought so many things.

I'm not saying anything bad about you, niece, but you should be more frugal in your life!"

"Ok!"

Ye Xinran smiled and did not refute.

Having never enjoyed the love of her parents in her two lifetimes, she feels that having the nagging of elders is a very happy thing.

"Uncle Lizheng, I have to go to the mountain to plant herbs later, so I won't have time to greet you."

"Growing herbs?" The village head looked at Ye Xinran in confusion.

In the past, I have only heard of people who make a living by collecting herbs, but I have never heard of people who grow their own herbs.

"Where do you grow these herbs? In Dongshan?"

The head of the village asked.

"Yes, otherwise why would I buy a mountain!" Ye Xinran smiled.

"You little girl, I told you not to buy it, but you said you wouldn't do anything! I really thought you were going to open up wasteland and plant crops!"

"I'm not good at farming, but I can grow herbs."

Ye Xinran answered.

"Uncle Lizheng, how about you help me plant the crops?

I give 20 coins per person per day, but today I only have half a day left, so I will give 10 coins. I need two people."

"Are you going to do this job just this once or often?"

The village head became interested when he heard this.

"There will be more often in the future!" Ye Xinran replied, "As long as I can dig up herbs, I will plant them on the mountain."

Village head: "What kind of herb? Let me see!"

Ye Xinran took out the Ice Spirit Flower and showed it to the head of the village: "It's like this, it must have roots and soil, otherwise it won't survive!"

"If someone digs up herbs like this, would you collect them?"

There was a gleam in the eyes of the village head.

Seeing him like that, Ye Xinran couldn't help but complain: "Uncle Lizheng, you just told me to save money, and now you want to make money from me?"

The village head chuckled.

"Isn't this also to help you find a solution?"

Ye Xinran also smiled and said, "Then I'll take it. Two cents a tree. How about that?"

"Okay!" The village head clapped his hands. "Since you said that, I will find a solution for today's matter! I guarantee you will be satisfied."

Before Ye Xinran understood what the headman meant by satisfying her, she saw him call the villagers to hold a village meeting again.

The village meeting was held in front of Xiao Huaian’s house.

The village head took out the medicine that Ye Xinran was going to plant and showed it to everyone.

"Everyone, take a look, take a closer look!

This grass is a medicinal herb.

Now the Huai'an family needs this kind of medicinal material,

We are all from the same village, and we all help to keep an eye out when we go up the mountain.

If they see it, they will dig it up with the roots and soil, and plant it on the mountain for future use."

"Okay, Uncle Village Chief, it's just a medicinal herb, and it doesn't take up much space. If we see it, we'll bring it back."

Several women who often went to the mountains to find food said.

Others were distracted.

Anyway, they are not going to the mountain, so this kind of thing should have nothing to do with them.

Who knew that the next moment the village head said, "The people from Huai'an said that they don't want it for free. If you dig one, you will be paid two cents!"

"what?"

"Two cents for each tree! If I dig up ten, that would be twenty cents!"

"Isn't it convenient to look for it while I'm picking up mountain products?"

"Yes, that's great!"

Mrs. Zhang came forward to look at the Ice Spirit Flower and sneered:

"I have rarely seen this grass. If it was so easy to find, how could I give you two cents for one plant? It must be that she couldn't find it herself, so she asked you for help!

It's only two cents, and you're tempted by such a small benefit. You really haven't seen the world!"

"Who has seen as much as you! Not only did you steal people's meat, you also stole their medicine. Of course you don't care about even a few cents.

People like us who live an honest life cannot afford to underestimate these two cents.

I can buy two eggs with three cents, and half a bushel of rice with ten cents!

If you don't think highly of this money, don't go to the mountain and fight with us for it!"

Erzhu Niang made a sarcastic remark.

Someone immediately echoed, "That's right! You can go if you want!"

"Uncle Lizheng, please show me that grass again. I will take my daughter to the mountain to look for it tomorrow!"

Everyone moved forward again.

He also deliberately pushed Mrs. Zhang out of the crowd.
