Evil Sister in Charge: As long as you are thick-skinned, you can eat meat every meal

"What? You're going to Yaocheng?"

"Then I'll go with you! I'm worried about you, a girl, going so far!"

Mrs. Zhou's focus was completely diverted, and she didn't doubt Zhou Sisi's words at all.

"Grandma, you are still needed to take charge of the rear area. You can't run around!"

"After the pond is settled, I need to clean it, find someone to weave bamboo baskets, and I need hemp ropes. I plan to have you help me complete each of these tasks."

"If you follow me to Yaocheng, I won't trust these things to anyone else. I'll just take Da Wang with me when I go. You can just help me keep an eye on these things."

This was what Zhou Sisi had planned. Da Wang was honest and easy to fool. She knew he was very experienced, so it would take some effort to fool him. She was too lazy to use her brain.

"It will take a day to get to Yaocheng, and another day to come back, and that's all based on the speed of the carriage. And you're studying, so it will definitely take four or five days. How can I be at ease?"

When Mrs. Zhou heard that her granddaughter had arranged so many things for her, and that she had three grandchildren at home, she knew that she really couldn't leave, but she was also worried about her granddaughter's safety on the journey.

"Grandma, don't worry! Shopkeeper Jiang arranged for me to go with his delivery team. It's very safe!"

"Besides, are you still worried about my strength? If I don't cause trouble to others, even if I am honest, who would dare to attack me?"

After Zhou Sisi finished speaking, she raised her arms, with a hint of banditry on her face, as if she was ready to fight as soon as she went out, which made Mrs. Zhou laugh.

That's true. Her granddaughter is indeed a powerful one. There's no need to worry about these things. Anyone who messes with her will always be tormented by her and lose half their life. Just look at the mother and daughter of the Liu family.

"Okay! Then you take Da Wang with you, so I can feel more at ease. This girl is honest, and if a fight really breaks out, we'll have an extra helper!" Mrs. Zhou finally gave in.

"Grandma, I'm going there to study, not to fight, so you can rest assured!" Zhou Sisi hugged Grandma Zhou and gave her a kiss on the face.

It feels so good that someone cares!

"How corny! Hurry up and go wash your hands and eat. I think Yue Niang has already prepared the food!"

Mrs. Zhou pretended to be disgusted and slapped Zhou Sisi in the face, with a smile on her lips involuntarily. The force of the slap was just like a tickle to Zhou Sisi.

For lunch, Yue Niang prepared a dish of spicy fried river clams and bacon, mixed wild vegetables, boiled multi-grain rice, and a bowl of steamed egg custard.

When Da Wang knew that Zhou Sisi was going to take her to Yaocheng, her eyes narrowed into slits from smiling. She had never been to such a far place before, and her little face turned red with excitement.

"Next time we have a chance, I'll take you out to play. Everyone might be very busy in the next few days."

"I will bring gifts for everyone when I come back. Please take good care of my grandma and my brothers during the days I am away. If there is anything you cannot solve, Xiao Wang, go to Songhe Restaurant in town to find Manager Jiang. He will help you."

"Miss, don't worry, I will take good care of the old lady and the young masters!" Han Yue Niang and Xiao Wang said in unison.

After lunch, the village head came with two Zhou clan elders. Zhou was a big clan in Qingshan Village, and all decisions were made by the Zhou clan elders.

Han Yue Niang was very discerning. She boiled water, made tea, and placed it in front of the three people before silently retreating.

"Sister-in-law! Your life is getting better and better! You have servants at home to serve you, you are really enjoying yourself! It's a pity that my elder brother passed away early, otherwise you could have enjoyed yourself too!"

Mrs. Zhou curled her lips. How come this old man hasn’t died yet? Every time he opened his mouth, a sour smell surged up!

The person who was speaking was the cousin of Zhou Po's husband, who seemed to be more than ten years older than Zhou Po. From the looks of his clothes, it was clear that he had not lived well, as his clothes were covered with patches!

"Haha! Yes! My old man doesn't have this blessing. Cousin, you are so old, you must be enjoying a lot!"

Mrs. Zhou is not a good-tempered person. When this cousin was young, he liked to take advantage of her old man. Now he still speaks in such a harsh tone. She doesn't have the patience to be polite to such a person!

While saying this, Mrs. Zhou deliberately stretched out her hand and showed off her gold bracelet.

Obviously, I'm telling him that I'm just enjoying myself, so what!

"What are you doing? The child is still here! Stop talking nonsense! Get to the point!" another old man in his seventies interrupted.

This old man looked very serious, and he was dressed better than the sour old man.

"Sisi girl, how much silver are you going to pay for that pond?"

"You are the younger of the family. According to seniority, you should call me grandpa! Haha!" The old man with a serious face spoke to Zhou Sisi very kindly.

Zhou Sisi: Grandpa Lobby? I’m the lobby manager! What a weird name!

"Grandpa, I'm sure the village head has also told you what I want to do with this pond. I'll decide the price. Fifty taels of silver!"

"I mentioned before that I would give money to the village to build two more wells. I am willing to do that. Do you think this is okay?"

Zhou Sisi calculated that there were only about fifty households in the village. Giving one or two taels of silver to each household would be enough to shut these people up. The price was reasonable!

"No, this amount of silver is too little. This pond is used by the village to store water to prevent drought. It must cost at least one hundred taels!" The sour old man jumped out immediately.

"One hundred taels? Then you might as well just rob him!" Mrs. Zhou got angry when she heard this and immediately stopped. If there weren't so many people around, she would have wanted to pull out the few hairs on this stinky old man's head.

"Grandpa, how much do you think is appropriate? I'll listen to you!"

"It doesn't matter if the price is not right. I can go to my aunt's village next door to raise pearls and do the same thing. There is no need to argue and lose your status, don't you think?"

Zhou Sisi threw the decision-making power to the serious old man. Seeing that the head of the village did not dare to speak, she felt that the sour old man was not the one who could make the decision. The serious old man was the one who could make the decision.

One plays the good guy and the other plays the bad guy, what a little trick!

The three of them looked at each other, and the serious old man spoke first: "There are a total of fifty-eight households in the village, and this does not include your family, so I won't ask for more, sixty-eight taels of silver."

"Fifty-eight taels, one tael per household. The remaining ten taels will be used to repair the Zhou family ancestral hall. Of course, the money you promised to pay for repairing the two wells should also be included. This way, the villagers will definitely have no objection!"

"make a deal!"

"But you have to agree to what I said to the village head before. From now on, the pond is my private property. I have the final say!"

"Grandpa, have some tea and wait a moment. I'll go get the silver!"

Zhou Sisi readily agreed, then turned and went into her room, took out silver ingots from the space, ten taels of silver each, and placed three on the table at once.

"Here is thirty taels. Once all the formalities are completed, the other thirty-eight taels will be given immediately!"

{There are two chapters on weekdays! I wish you a happy life!}
