Poor Family: I reached the top by marrying a wife

After Mu Qingqing heard Jiang Chen's words, her face instantly turned extremely cold!

Jiang Chen even felt that Mu Qingqing's body was shaking!

This was really unexpected for Jiang Chen!

Could it be that Mu Qingqing hates the grassland people so much?

"Miss Qingqing, are you... okay?"

Jiang Chen asked nervously.

He did have the idea of ​​testing Mu Qingqing just now, but Mu Qingqing's change made Jiang Chen dare not continue to test her!

This... If Mu Qingqing gets angry...

"I'm fine!"

Mu Qingqing took a deep breath and looked at Jiang Chen intently.

When Jiang Chen saw Mu Qingqing's direct gaze, he felt uncomfortable all over.

He felt the same gaze from Mu Qingqing, and he seemed to have felt it on General Luo and Eunuch Zhang!

Could it be that Mu Qingqing's status is so high! ?

"Jiang Chen, I came here today to talk to you about the school!"

"Since you promised me, you have to do it!"

"I wait for your news!"

After Mu Qingqing said this, she left without looking back.

Jiang Chen looked at Mu Qingqing's receding back, feeling extremely confused.

Mu Qingqing’s performance just now was truly horrible!

However, he really needs to start preparing for school matters!

Jiang Chen found Zhou Bo, and after discussing with him, Jiang Chen asked Zhou Bo to go to the next village to find people to work.

This time, Jiang Chen not only wanted to build a school, but also put the expansion of the workshop on the agenda.

Afterwards, Jiang Chen found Zhou Si.

"Fourth brother, I have to trouble you to find some more veteran soldiers!"

"The more the merrier!"

"This...Brother Jiang! Don't worry, I will definitely find him!" Zhou Si was extremely excited when he heard Jiang Chen's words!

After all, the old soldier has no worries about food and drink when he comes to Zhoujia Village.

Isn't this also rescuing those old soldiers?

……

Under Jiang Chen's arrangement, Zhoujia Village became lively again.

Jiang Chen originally planned to arrange these things after the first month of the year.

But now, he has to move things forward.

After all, his battle with the Qu family is about to begin!

In the next few days, the news that the court would pay tribute to the grassland spread throughout the streets and alleys.

When the people heard the news, they were all dumbfounded!

They finally survived the cold winter, and soon spring would come and their lives would be better.

But now the imperial court wants to pay tribute to the grasslands and ask them to hand over annual cloth. Isn’t this... a threat to their lives?!

"Wow, wow, wow, this damn imperial court won't let anyone live!"

"We finally managed to survive the winter, and now... we need New Year's cloth again. Where can we find it?"

"Woo, woo, woo, we can't survive this!"

"The court is trying to kill us!"

The people cried and wailed bitterly.

However, this will not change the court's mind.

Not to mention the people outside, even the villagers in Zhoujia Village had ugly expressions.

They worked in Jiang Chen's workshop a few years ago, and just had enough food to eat and some savings.

But now, they have to pay the New Year's cloth!

This... isn't this drinking their blood?

"Alas~ This imperial court really doesn't allow people to survive~" Bai Yan sighed helplessly as he looked at the depressed mood of the villagers.

Now that she is married to Jiang Chen, she naturally doesn't have to worry about not being able to pay the annual cloth.

But if she hadn't married Jiang Chen, she would probably have been caught by the bailiffs and sold to a pawnbroker, right?

After all, according to her previous situation, it was impossible for her to have the money to pay the New Year's cloth!

Thinking of this, Bai Yan hugged Jiang Chen's arms tightly.

……

"Don't be afraid, lady. I'm here."

Jiang Chen felt Bai Yan's nervousness, and gently patted the back of Bai Yan's hand to comfort her.

"Husband, I'm not afraid of anything as long as you are here, but... everyone..."

Bai Yan looked at the people with sad faces, her face full of pity.

Even though these villagers hated her before and even called her a jinx, Bai Yan still felt sympathetic towards these villagers.

Jiang Chen looked at Bai Yan, then at the villagers, and then walked out.

"Fellow villagers, please stop what you are doing."

"Ok?"

When the villagers who were working heard Jiang Chen's words, they hurriedly stopped their work and looked at Jiang Chen.

"My fellow villagers, I know everyone is worried about the issue of the New Year's cloth."

"Today, I have made a decision. That is... the New Year's cloth that everyone needs can be purchased at the workshop, and... I will give it to you at cost price!"

"What!?"

When the villagers heard Jiang Chen’s words, they were all stunned!

"Give it to us at cost price... this..."

"Village Chief, are you...are you serious?"

"Woo woo woo, if it's the cost price, then you're losing money, aren't you?"

"Yes, you provide us with meals and pay us when we go to work..."

"village head……"

All the workers in the workshop are women.

After they heard Jiang Chen's words, they couldn't stop crying.

"Okay, everyone, stop crying. We are all from the same village. I can't let you suffer. Besides, the fabrics were made by you. I'm selling them to you at cost. It's not a loss!"

"However, I can only give it to you, not to others~"

Jiang Chen said with a smile on his face.

That's all he can do.

No matter how much more he has, his current ability is not enough!

"Thank you, village chief!"

"Thank you, village chief!"

"Woo woo woo, we will definitely work like slaves to repay you!"

"village head……"

The villagers were so moved that their eyes filled with tears. How could they not see that Jiang Chen was helping them!

Without the pressure of the New Year's Eve, their future lives will be much better!

Jiang Chen couldn't stand the crying of these villagers.

He smiled at everyone, then turned and went back to the yard.

"Hmm? What are you doing...?"

Jiang Chen had just entered the yard when he found that Bai Yan, Qin Ruyue and other girls were looking at him with shining eyes!

"Husband, you are so nice~"

"Yes, husband, you are helping everyone~"

"Husband..."

The girls spoke with great emotion, but their infatuated eyes made Jiang Chen unable to contain himself.

Otherwise, let's go to the study together?

On the other side, in the county town.

Qu Yuan was sitting at home, drinking tea leisurely.

However, the housekeeper walked in with an anxious look on his face.

"Master, it's been five days. Is there still no news from the government?"

"Haha, what are you panicking about?"

When Qu Yuan heard what the housekeeper said, he laughed disdainfully: "It has only been a few days since the tribute was confirmed, and the county magistrate is not in a hurry."

"When he gets anxious, he will naturally come to us. Why are you in such a hurry?"

"This……"

When the housekeeper heard Qu Yuan's words, his face was filled with helplessness.

He always had a bad feeling in his heart.

Now all of the Qu family’s real estate has been mortgaged!

This...if something goes wrong, the Qu family will be finished!

Moreover, Qu Yuan still has this nonchalant attitude, this...

The butler's eyes turned cold and he made a decision silently in his heart!
