After the evil sister took over, all the best went crazy

Chapter 52 Villagers' Ways of Repaying Gratitude

Taoya's sister-in-law, whose maiden name is Xiahua, has some complaints about Taoya always running to help Su Rongrong with work these days.

Hearing this, she said angrily: “Sister-in-law, please don’t say such things.

This was a decision made by the government, and it was made by the senior officials in the county government.

Su Rongrong is just a little girl from the country, what does she know?

You can just say this in front of our family, but don't tell anyone else.

Otherwise, it will be embarrassing for your good sister Su Rongrong!"

Tao Ya knew that her sister-in-law was dissatisfied with her, but she was so happy at the moment that she didn't care.

She just looked at her mother and said, "Mom, just yesterday, when Rongrong came back, didn't I go to her house to help her?

Then she told me about this while we were chatting.

She said she was not sure whether the government would adopt her suggestion, so she asked me not to tell anyone.

Although she didn't mention the price issue, it must be related to her.

Now that the price of food will not increase anymore, we only need to sell 100 kilograms, which is really great!

Rongrong is awesome, I knew she was so smart and kind, she would definitely think about us..."

Seeing her proud look, Xia Hua rolled her eyes in annoyance, then turned her head away with a disdainful pout.

Everyone knows who Su Rongrong is. If she had that ability, why would she live like that in Su Dashan's house?

However, Tao Ya's elder brother Jing Zhe saw her like this and pulled her aside unhappily and whispered:

"Wife, don't look down on Rongrong.

When her father was still alive, he was the first scholar in the surrounding villages and received a subsidy from the government every month.

As the eldest daughter, Rongrong has been taught personally by her father since she was young.

When her father was still alive, she was also an extremely intelligent girl.

So don’t take my sister’s words lightly. I think it is possible that this is really the case.

The reason why that girl lived like that in Suda's house was probably because her parents died all of a sudden and she hadn't recovered from the blow yet.

Now, the three-year mourning period is over.

For the sake of your own and your younger brothers and sisters' future, shouldn't you stand up immediately?

Wife, please listen to me. From now on, stay with my younger sister and get closer to Rongrong.

I think it won’t do any harm!”

Xia Hua still didn't agree, so Jing Zhe continued:

"Wife, don't forget that behind Rongrong, there is a county magistrate and his cousin.

This time, it might be that Rongrong did it through the county magistrate's son.

If you don't believe me, we can ask around when we get to the county town and find out."

Speaking of the county magistrate's son, Xia Hua had to put away her contempt and think carefully about her man's words.

It seems to make sense!

If nothing else, just for the support of the county magistrate's son, she had to have a good relationship with Su Rongrong.

If anything happens at her parents' home one day, she can directly ask Su Rongrong for help.

Otherwise, given her sister-in-law's personality, she would definitely not help her.

Jingzhe saw that his wife's expression had relaxed, and after she let out a breath, she looked at her sister.

"Little sister, is Rongrong's family preparing to dig the land and prepare firewood?

When we get back, I'll go with you to help her.

Apart from anything else, since she saved our family from having to do corvée labor by spending only five taels of silver, we have to lend her a hand when she needs it.

Not only our family, but everyone in our village should be like this!"

Tao Ya nodded vigorously: "Yes, we should repay the kindness.

Brother, when comparing five taels of silver with one stone of coarse grains, anyone with a brain would know which choice to make.

Although my family is a hunter family and has always lived by buying food, didn’t Dad already buy some in the county?

I won’t exaggerate this time, but it should be at least 1,800 kilograms, right?

Even if a pound of coarse grains costs ten cents, a stone of grain is only one ounce.

Can't we spend the extra four ounces ourselves?"

At this point, she deliberately lowered her voice and said, "We don't lack warm clothes at home, and maybe we can sell a few of them later.

Not to mention anything else, Miaomiao's family needs to send three people.

One provides food, and the other two either provide food, clothes and quilts, or silver.

Food is precious now, but we can't sell off hundreds of kilograms of it at once, right?

I’m afraid their family can’t give bad winter clothes and quilts to keep warm.

After all, Miaomiao’s father is the village chief!

But the good ones are expensive and I can’t afford them, so they are most likely to come to our house to buy them.

We can sell a few old fur clothes and make some money, right?"

Taoya's grandparents had never thought about this problem, but now that she pointed it out, their eyes suddenly lit up.

Yes, they still have a lot of old furs at home.

Although the fur color is not good-looking, most of them are patchwork sewed together with different colors.

But it’s just fur after all, isn’t it warmer than those old winter clothes?

As a hunter's family, they may not say anything else, but they definitely have no shortage of furs and old clothes.

They don't have to sell it at a high price. Even if they only sell it for thirty or forty cents per piece, that's still profit, right?

This time, Su Rongrong helped more than just their family.

Instead, thousands and thousands of families will benefit from her kindness.

As expected of a scholar's daughter, she has a bright mind.

She was so nice when her parents were still alive.

I don’t know how Su Dashan’s family took care of him. He was worn out in the past three years and has lost his spirit.

Fortunately, she has stood up now and has come up with such a good idea to help ordinary people like them.

Otherwise, on the day of performing labor service, not only Sujia Village, but the entire county would probably be filled with cries.

*

Su Rongrong had no idea about the decision made by the government, and she had no idea that because of her, the government specially sent someone to Sujia Village to notify them first.

Now everyone in the village knew that, because of Su Rongrong, they didn't have to do labor service, nor did they have to pay money. They only needed to be given coarse grains and flour or winter clothes and quilts.

So, after the people from the government office have been notified, Liu Quan will be allowed to handle the matter.

All they had to do was deliver the food, clothes, quilts or silver to the county government three days later.

Therefore, after the yamen runners left, the entire Sujia Village was in an uproar.

But this time was different from the last time when he learned that he had to perform labor service.

At this time, everyone in the village who knew the news had a smile on their face.

Although their lives were not well-off, they usually tried to save as much as possible.

But the harvests in recent years have been good, and their family has more or less some surplus food.

For them, it is not a problem to squeeze out a hundred kilograms of food and donate a piece of clothing.

The officer just now said that it was Su Rongrong from their village who proposed this to the government office.

How come Miss Rong is so nice and kind?

This time, it’s not just the people of Sujia Village who are being helped, but the people of the entire Lanxia County.

By the way, Miss Rong seems to have been busy chopping wood these past two days.

Now that they have received benefits from others, it is only right for them to carry a load of firewood from their homes and send it over, right?

There are more than one or two villagers who think this way.

So, Su Jinhong, who was recuperating at home, soon saw villagers bringing firewood to his house.

In less than half an hour, not only was the yard full of stuff, but there was also some stuff piled outside the gate.
