After her fate was taken away, she was favored by her five brothers.
Chapter 40 Leading the Villagers to Pick Chestnuts
"Grandpa Village Chief, let me take you to the foot of the mountain for a walk."
"Okay, okay, then I'll trouble you to come with me."
So, Yun Zhiqian brought the village chief to the chestnut tree where they picked chestnuts yesterday.
"Isn't this a thorn tree? How can it be a chestnut?"
Yun Zhiqian kicked the tree trunk, and several thorn balls fell down. When the village chief looked up, one of the thorn balls fell on his face, causing him to grimace in pain.
Yun Zhiqian stepped forward and pulled out the thorn ball from the village chief's face. In front of him, he peeled the thorn ball open to reveal the chestnut inside.
The village chief no longer cared about the pain, he also picked up a thorn ball, broke open the outer skin, and indeed, a brown chestnut was revealed.
His old face suddenly wrinkled with joy.
"Okay, okay, I'll notify the villagers to come and pick chestnuts."
The village chief immediately returned to the village and rang the gong to notify all the villagers.
After gathering the villagers, he, under the leadership of the village chief, led them to the foot of the mountain.
To be fair, each chestnut picker can only send two people to pick chestnuts.
In order to pretend, and to prevent the villagers from saying that the Yun family was eating alone, Liu and Yun Zhiqian also joined the chestnut picking team with sacks and backpacks.
Liu was worried about Yun Fu staying alone at home, so she asked Yun Fu to go with her.
Some villagers are still skeptical.
They have lived in Xiling Village for half their lives and have never seen chestnuts. The Yun family has only been here for two years and they have already discovered chestnuts?
Zhao Ergou asked, "Village Chief, could it be that you made a mistake?"
The village chief looked unhappy: "I went to see it myself, how can I admit my mistake? If you don't want to go, you can go back."
Zhao Ergou wouldn't agree to that. If it turned out to be a chestnut, he would be at a great loss.
If there were no chestnuts at the foot of the mountain, wouldn't it be a wasted trip for him? He was already hungry, and this trip would waste a lot of his energy.
Thinking of this, he glared at the Yun family.
He didn't dare to do anything to the village chief. If he knew that the Yun family dared to tease others, he would drive the Yun family out of the village.
The Yun family had no idea what the villagers were thinking, and even if they did, it had nothing to do with them.
As long as you don't mess with them, everyone will be fine.
The village chief led everyone to the foot of the mountain. At first, the villagers didn't believe it until the village chief peeled the thorn ball in front of everyone. Then the villagers believed it.
The villagers cheered, and some even took sticks to try to knock the thorn ball down.
In a corner, Zhao Ergou said to his elder brother Zhao Youcai, "Brother, let's go pick up the chestnuts quickly, or else others will grab all of them."
But Zhao Youcai grabbed his second brother and whispered in his ear: "Why are you panicking? Don't worry about them. Wait until they pack the chestnuts..."
Zhao Ergou's eyes lit up: "Brother, is this really possible?"
"Humph, are you still not confident in your brother's work? Listen to me, we don't have to pick up any of them. When the time comes, all these chestnuts will be ours."
Zhao Ergou gave his elder brother a thumbs up in admiration.
Big brother is still the best!
When Mrs. Sun saw three people from the Yun family coming, she immediately refused to work.
She still holds a grudge against the Yun family for the loss she suffered last time, and has not yet found an opportunity to take revenge.
"We are both two people, why do you have three people in the Yun family?"
Grandma Sun's voice was very loud. The villagers didn't notice it at first, but her voice immediately attracted their attention.
When everyone saw Yun Fu squatting on the ground to pick up the thorn balls, they immediately stopped.
"Yes, there are only two of us here, why should the Yun family eat more?"
"Yes, yes. It's a pity that the village chief said last time that they should be treated as villagers. Since they want to be Xiling villagers, they don't follow the rules of Xiling Village."
"Let her pick up as much as a six-year-old can."
"What's wrong with a six-year-old? Then I'll call all the kids in my family to come pick up chestnuts."
……
Yun Zhiqian frowned. These people really had no conscience at all. These chestnuts were discovered by their Yun family. If they wanted to eat more, would it be their turn?
Liu explained, "My daughter is too young, and I'm worried about her being alone at home, so I let her go. Fu'er, go over there and find a big tree to cool off, don't run too far."
Yun Fu had no intention of picking it up at first, she was just pretending. Her mother's words just suited her wishes, so she decided to go to the mountain to look for saltpeter.
"Okay, mother."
When Granny Sun saw Yun Fu leaving, it seemed that Liu and Yun Zhiqian were picking chestnuts faster. She said indignantly:
"That's not right, Yun family. This is our Xiling Village's territory. This chestnut tree also belongs to our Xiling Village. Do you outsiders have the nerve to covet our Xiling Village's things?"
Grandma Sun’s words reminded the people of Xiling Village.
In the face of interests, even family ties may turn against each other, not to mention the Yun family, who have only lived in the village for less than two years.
Some people don't want the Yun family to take advantage of this, but they also don't want to be the first to take action.
When Mrs. Sun came forward to bring up this matter, some people immediately resonated with her.
Before he could agree with Grandma Sun, he heard the village chief say:
"The chestnut tree was discovered by the Yun family. If the Yun family wanted to keep it all for themselves, they could just pick the chestnuts and take them home secretly. Why did they have to tell the whole village about this secret?"
"If the Yun family didn't tell you, would you know that this is a chestnut tree?"
The village chief's words woke everyone up, and the villagers realized that they had been taken away by Grandma Sun.
"Mrs. Sun, if you don't want these chestnuts, don't pick them up!"
After the village chief said this, Mrs. Sun shut her mouth and never dared to say a word about the Yun family again.
Yun Fu didn’t know what happened next. She realized that she couldn’t pick up all the chestnuts in a short time, so she walked towards the mountains.
In her previous life, she sent people to find saltpeter in the mountains, but in this life, with her small body of six years old, if she went into the mountains, she might encounter wild beasts and the gain would be more than the loss.
She walked around the cliff and searched for a while, but didn't see the so-called saltpeter, so she had to come back.
If she's been out for too long and her mother and elder brother can't see her, they'll definitely be worried.
When Yun Fu came back, Liu and Yun Zhiqian were still picking chestnuts.
Yun Fu has always been very well behaved, and Liu knew that she would not run far. Besides, this is the territory of Xiling Village, not like Xie Mansion, so Liu did not watch her so closely.
Fortunately, Yun Fu was only away for a short while, and Mrs. Liu didn't know that her daughter had gone far away.
There were a lot of people in the village, so the chestnuts from the trees were picked up quickly.
Each family only picked up half a basket, which was not even a few pounds of chestnuts. Many villagers felt a little regretful. If they had discovered earlier that the chestnuts grew on the thorny tree, they could have picked all the chestnuts back home, and could have carried the leftovers to the town to sell.
But they didn't want the Yun family to have the whole thing, after all, this was the territory of their Xiling Village.
Seeing that all the fruits on the trees had been picked, the villagers all picked up their baskets and wanted to go home, but were stopped by Zhao Youcai and Zhao Ergou.
"You can go if you want, but leave all the chestnuts in your baskets behind."
"Zhao Youcai, Zhao Ergou, you are so lazy that you don't even pick any chestnuts. You even want others to walk for you, but you want to snatch the chestnuts picked by others. What do you want?"
Zhao Youcai smiled with a face that looked like he deserved a beating: "I know you have worked hard to pick chestnuts for our Zhao family. How about this, you take half and you keep the other half."
