When they woke up the next day, the children of the Xu family all had dark circles under their eyes.

Because they drank too much hot water and hot soup yesterday, they woke up many times in the middle of the night and didn't sleep well at all.

While Xu Ning and his friends were eating breakfast in a daze, a group of people came into the yard.

It was none other than the village chief of Xujia Village and the villagers from the remaining families.

"Uncle Lao Gen, you are living a good life now, but don't forget your fellow villagers." The village chief of Xujia Village was very humble and called them "Uncle Lao Gen" and "Aunt" as soon as he entered the door.

Even Mr. and Mrs. Xu, who had come over to watch over their parents out of fear that they would suffer, were praised by several villagers as the best in the world.

Xu Da was flattered by the praise, but was woken up by a slap from Zhang.

Old Man Xu and Old Lady Xu didn't give him any good face. They just said a few words and sent him away.

If these people came to sincerely apologize, or to thank Li the Hunter and the Xu family for their timely reminders, Old Lady Xu might actually take their feelings into consideration and give some advice or something.

But as soon as he came, he took advantage of the situation and used all kinds of moral blackmail and flattery. It was obvious at first glance that he was a completely bad person and he was nothing.

In the entire Xujia Village, only Xu Xiaohu looks presentable.

As the village chief of Xujia Village and his men walked out of the Xu family's gate, their faces fell.

"Village chief, have you seen this? Xu Laogen has really become rich. He even has several servants!"

"I'm not blind, go back quickly and stop talking nonsense here!"

The faces of the group of people were filled with jealousy and hatred. They hated the fact that they were all from the same peasant family, so why was it that Xu Laogen's family was the only one who could rise to the top overnight?

We all have the surname Xu, so we should share the happiness!

However, they never think about why these people should share the fruits of their hard work with others.

Just because they are all thick-skinned?

As soon as they returned to the home of the village chief of Xujia Village, they began to come up with various ideas.

"Village chief, there are only a few people in Xu Laogen's family. Can't we just rob them? If we kill them, who will know?"

"Idiot!" the village chief of Xujia Village cursed!

"Er Gouzi, are you blind? Those guards are carrying knives, and they look like bloodthirsty people. If you are not afraid of death, just go by yourself!"

"I... I'm doing this for everyone's good. Xu Laogen's family is living a life of luxury, but we're having nothing to eat. I just feel bad for everyone!" Er Gouzi did not commit any murders or arson in the later stages of his escape, but other people from Xujia Village were involved. Even when he returned to Xujia Village, the rent and fields of those dead villagers were occupied by them.

"Humph! Who knows what you are thinking!"

"Hey you..."

"Okay, stop arguing. Now is not the time. Ergou, if you don't listen to me, no one can save you!" The face of the village chief of Xujia Village was not looking good. Didn't he want to kill Xu Laogen's family?

People should do things according to their abilities. For now, the Xu Laogen family can only be respected and not offended.

"It's so frustrating and annoying!" Er Gouzi came out of the village chief's house and kicked over a haystack on the side of the road.

The next second, a sack fell from the sky and Ergouzi was knocked unconscious before he could even shout.

When Ergouzi woke up again, it was already late at night. He was beaten black and blue, stripped naked and thrown into the bushes.

Ergouzi crawled back to the village chief's house. It happened that the village chief's wife got up at night and passed by and heard a knock on the door. She opened the door and saw a naked man. She was so scared that she kept screaming, which attracted several villagers from nearby houses.

As soon as Xu Ning and his companions from Xujia Village returned, they released mosquito robots to keep an eye on them. Everyone in the Xu family knew their secrets very well.

Ergouzi is a warning to the village chief by Xu Ning and his men. If they dare to do anything, Ergouzi will be their fate.

With this deterrent effect, these people were very quiet from then until a few days before the New Year.

Old Mrs. Xu couldn't resist Xu Ning's nagging and installed a kang in every room, even the one where the servants lived.

"Grandma, if you ask me, if we have enough time, we can just bury the house in the ground to heat it. It will be warmer that way, and we won't have to wear so many clothes in the house. It's so tiring!"

"I see that you are so greedy that you want more money even though you have earned a thousand." Old Mrs. Xu pointed at Xu Ning.

Xu Ning retorted: "Grandma, why should we think about ten thousand dollars? We already have ten thousand dollars! Money is earned to be spent. If we don't spend it, how can others make money? If others don't make money, how can the money come back to us? The more we spend, the more we have!"

Old Lady Xu: "According to what you said, if everyone spends money, everyone will have money?"

"It can be said that, for example, when farmers go to the street to buy meat buns, they give money to the bun seller. Does he then have to buy meat and grain? The money is then given to the butcher and the grain store. Does the butcher then have to buy pigs from the people? After the people sell the pigs, do they have money to buy clothes? Does the money eventually go to the clothes maker? Will the clothes maker buy grain or meat buns with the money? Let's talk about the grain store. Do they have to buy grain from the farmers? Can the farmers buy meat buns when they have money?"

"Second sister, I feel that the grain store is the most profitable!" Xu Feng interrupted.

Xu Ning: "Let's not talk about who makes the most money, just think about whether money will only increase as it is spent!"

"That seems to be the case!" Xu Da agreed in confusion.

"But Daya, the grain is not valuable when sold, and it is very expensive to buy it back." Zhang offered her opinion.

Xu Ning: "This is because the news is not circulated enough. If you know that others have cheap grain to buy, you won't think it is expensive."

Old Man Xu sighed: "After all, farmers still have a hard time!"

"Master, this world is a world where the strong prey on the weak." Whether it is the future generations where Xu Ning is, it is always like this, and it has remained unchanged from ancient times to the present.

Old Lady Xu: "Xiangchun family, we will help if we can, but we can't just feed food to people, be careful not to feed them hatred."

Xu An: "Grandma, Daddy is already teaching Uncle Xiaohu how to make a bow and arrow. Once he gets the hang of it, the rabbits on the mountain will make his life better."

"Well, okay, forget about the others." Old Mrs. Xu didn't want to mention those people either, so she could only talk about something else: "I heard Xiangchun say..."

It was late at night, and Old Mrs. Xu and Old Man Xu were chatting under the quilt.

"Old man, let's not come back after the New Year this year."

"Well, I'll listen to you, Chunhua. We won't come here after we meet Qiangzi."

"Alas, we are not cruel enough to say that we are cruel, but old man, we have agreed that we can only take a look and cannot subsidize their family. Do you hear me?"

"I save it." At the beginning, Xu Er followed his father-in-law without hesitation and took all his food rations with him, which showed that he was determined to sever ties with him.

"Don't promise it now. If Dayong and the others get upset, don't say I didn't warn you."

"Go to sleep, old lady. You are in charge of my money. You can't fly away."

"That's true." Old Mrs. Xu turned over proudly and fell asleep with her back to Old Man Xu.
