Plane Trading: A Peasant Girl Escapes from Famine and Becomes Rich Enough of a Nation

Fortunately, they had become somewhat resilient after living in the open air, and Su Laosan arranged for the villagers to return to their respective courtyards. For those houses that were too badly damaged, the whole family built a simple shed in the yard to shelter them.

The damage to the house was not too serious, so we quickly started to repair it. There were many people in the family, so we could move in before dark.

Although the house was damaged, no one touched the firewood.

It was soaked by two days and one night of continuous rain, but it was fine after the sun came out.

Dinner can still be cooked and eaten.

However, Su Qiuyi and his two daughters were not treated so well.

The old Su's house was almost completely destroyed. The entire yard was in a mess and the third room's wing had collapsed.

It doesn't look like it was collapsed by human intervention, but rather by rain. It's a mud house and it wasn't waterproofed, so it's not surprising that it collapsed.

The bad thing was that they separated when they were fleeing, and they had no time to find a house. After returning, they had to continue living in the house that was in the same yard as the Su family.

But now, the yard is a mess, the house is full, and Su Xiaofang's family is in a similar situation, not much better.

"Dad, how about we go to Qinghe Town and rent a house to stay there first?"

Su Qiuyi didn't even enter the yard, but shook his head and spoke with disgust.

Su Xiaofang and her family of three were also standing at the gate of the old Su family's courtyard, watching with concern. Hearing what Su Qiuyi said, Yang Dachun shook his head and spoke with some disapproval.

"Your father is now the head of the village. The village is in such a state now. It's not good for him not to be in the village!"

In Yang Dachun's opinion, it is very important for his brother-in-law to become the head of the village, and he should take it seriously.

After working in this small village for half his life, he felt that being a village chief was a very impressive position.

"But how do we live here? It's so cold at night, living outside is not realistic!" Su Qiuyi felt a headache when he realized the word "lizheng".

Indeed, her father is now the head of the village, how can he just leave? But...

"How about this, we can stay in the village during the day and go to Qinghe Town at night!"

The eight people from the two families looked at each other for a while, not knowing whether this was okay.

If Su Laosan was not the head of the village, everything would be fine, but he can't do that now, as he has to take care of all the affairs in the village.

Su Qiuyi clapped his hands and said, "Dad, since there is no official appointment yet, why don't you stop being the head of the village!"

Su Wenxing nodded vigorously. "Yes, elder sister is right. Dad, why don't you stop being the head of the village! It's too troublesome!"

"That's right. When you do a good job, people don't know how to be grateful. When you do a bad job, people will complain immediately! What's the point of being a village head?"

Yang Ruchuan agreed 100% with what his two cousins ​​said. He felt that his uncle was doing a thankless job.

He also doesn't like positions or power.

I feel it's useless. Living a good, ordinary and healthy life is better than anything else.

Although he had not received much education, he was very strong. He felt that he could live the simple life he wanted by relying on his own shoulders.

My uncle used to admire this point of himself, but I don’t know when he became addicted to being an official.

"But... I feel that after my uncle became the head of the village, the villagers have become much more polite to us. No one has ever thrown away anything even if it is placed in front of people! This was impossible before! Although there are disadvantages to my uncle being the head of the village, there are also advantages!"

Yang Ruxue also talked about what she saw and shared her own insights.

They used to do the same, and never stopped their children from participating in adult conversations just because they were young.

On the contrary, if the suggestions made by children are useful, they will be adopted.

Su Laosan listened to the children arguing with each other and almost quarreling, and looked at his sister who had been silent.

Su Xiaofang just listened without saying anything. When she saw her brother looking at her, she insisted on her own opinion for the first time.

"It's up to you! What the kids said makes sense. It has both advantages and disadvantages! We are indeed facing some difficulties right now!"

After saying that, he looked at Su Qiuyi instead.

From the time she fled famine until now, she couldn't help but regard her as her backbone.

When faced with such problems, she liked to ask her niece's opinion, as it was useless for the other children to say anything.

Su Laosan also looked over.

The two of them glanced towards Su Qiuyi, and several other people who were arguing with red faces also came over.

After listening to the debate for a while, Su Qiuyi began to support her father as the village head. She learned that in the Tiansheng Dynasty, the place of household registration could not be easily changed without the approval of the higher authorities.

If nothing unexpected happens, their family will settle down in this Houshan Village.

Even if we can move out in the future, we have to wait until she is fully grown.

Although she can get anything easily, it is difficult for her to give it away without a legitimate reason.

The silver and gold in her space could only be used secretly, or left to grow mold and insects (not to be used openly...)

Therefore, she cannot leave here until she has laundered her money and has enough power to protect herself.

She could see that her father wanted to be the head of the village, and she could roughly understand why he wanted her.

She also shared the same idea on this point, so she still had to find a way to solve the current difficulties.

"It is inevitable that we will live in the town for a while, but we can live there at night and come back during the day. We don't have to worry about the hassle with a carriage. Besides, Dad, when you go to the government office tomorrow, buy a residential plot! We have to build a house! I don't want to get involved with the old Su family!"

After hearing this, the other seven people immediately felt that this was the most feasible solution.

"It's true that we can't get involved with the Su family anymore, but it costs a lot of money to buy a residential plot and build a house..."

Yang Dachun spoke up and reminded everyone that they had to face reality.

However, Su Xiaofang knew her niece, so she should be sure if she could tell the truth.

"Yiyi knows what's going on. If it's not enough, I still have a few dozen taels left. Give it back to them first! We can't stay in the same yard with the Su family anymore. Those two are disgusting enough! Third brother, don't let them get away with it. The wing you live in has been demolished!"

Although they have all gone bankrupt now, Su Xiaofang still feels uncomfortable if she doesn't vent her anger and doesn't give the Su family any benefits.

Actually, this is a good thing. Although the third brother gets less, he doesn't have to worry about his father. Moreover, the land is divided according to the population. When the third brother's family moves out, their land will come with them.

Speaking of which, the third house has only one person's land, and according to the law of the Tiansheng Dynasty, only men can be allocated land.

This is also a big part of the reason why people prefer to have sons rather than girls.

Su Lao San looked at his eldest daughter for a long time. Su Qiuyi understood what her father meant, and she nodded slightly.

"Dad, you don't have to worry about the money! Aunt, you don't have to pay back the money, your family still has to rebuild!"

Su Laosan no longer had any worries and nodded.

Although he couldn't accept relying on his eldest daughter for everything, if he wanted to become stronger and be able to protect his daughter, he had to swallow his self-esteem and take solid steps forward.
