The eldest sister-in-law became rich by farming in the mountains

But in just two quarters of an hour, the drying dam was crowded with people, including hundreds of villagers.

Chen and Xie Daniu arrived one after the other.

The reason why they didn't speak to each other was that Xie Daniu took the initiative to give food to the second house the day before.

That day, Chen was forcibly dragged into the house by Xie Daniu, who flew into a rage and threatened to divorce her if the fifty kilograms of grain was not returned.

In the past, whenever she went crazy and threw a tantrum, Xie Daniu would always humble himself, admit his mistakes, and seek peace. But this time, the usually honest and simple man seemed to be pushed into a corner and said that he wanted a divorce, so it was no big deal.

Chen was struck by lightning and ran back to her parents' home crying and making a fuss. The next day, she was sent back by her brother-in-law.

In short, the brother-in-law persuaded both parties again and again, and Chen reluctantly stopped making trouble.

But she was determined that if Xie Daniu didn't get the food back, she would never speak to him again.

When they heard the gong sound, the two of them had stern faces and ignored each other, and they arrived at the drying dam one after the other.

Chen didn't care at all about what Village Chief Zheng was going to announce next. At the moment, she was thinking about how she would tear the second branch's face off in front of everyone later.

Otherwise, she would never be able to swallow this!

Unlike Chen who was full of calculations, the people on the drying dam were completely confused at this time.

Under the yellow poplar tree that had grown for hundreds of years, several tables had been placed there at some point. The two brothers of the Zheng family were carrying several wooden barrels back and forth from the foot of the mountain, and the four grandchildren of the Zheng family were carrying hundreds of bowls from their home.

The villager standing in the front asked curiously: "Village Chief, are you inviting us to drink water?"

Everyone couldn't help but burst into laughter, instantly diluting the uneasy and tense atmosphere.

Village Chief Zheng did not respond, but just smiled and said, "Everyone, look around and see who is missing, and quickly send someone to call them."

Everyone looked around and suddenly heard a woman shouting, "Xie Erjia hasn't arrived yet!"

From Xie's family?

The villagers were a little dazed for a moment, and it took them a while to remember which family Xie Er's family was.

Now everyone was even more confused. Someone asked, "Aunt Wang, I remember that your family had no dealings with the second branch of the Xie family. Both of the Xies are dead. Why are you still thinking about them?"

The person who asked the question had a somewhat obscene tone. He was Xu Erlai, a scoundrel who was hated by everyone in the village.

Xie Daniu's fists were clenched so hard that they made a creaking sound. He was just about to rush through the crowd to beat up this foul-mouthed man when he heard Aunt Wang spit at him fiercely.

"Bah! You really think that other people are just like you, with black faces and even blacker hearts. The eldest daughter-in-law of the Xie family risked her life to jump into the river to save my youngest son. I am thinking about my benefactor, so how can I also think about the mistakes I made?"

Seeing that Aunt Wang's husband was not there, Xu Erlai was about to continue insulting her when he heard a gong suddenly explode beside his ear, making him dizzy and with tinnitus for a long time.

When he turned around, he saw Village Chief Zheng glaring at him: "If you dare to talk shit again, I will hit your head with this hammer instead of the gong!"

Xu Erlai didn't dare to act rashly in front of the village chief. He gritted his teeth and suppressed his anger. He just glared at Aunt Wang fiercely and stopped talking.

It was at this time that Xu Yingtao appeared in everyone's sight.

She, her whole family, and Mrs. Zhou and her group put the backpacks on the table, smiled and nodded at Village Chief Zheng, then stood aside, waiting for the old village chief to speak.

The villagers looked at each other in surprise. Most of them did not know Xu Yingtao, and they were even more confused when they saw that Mrs. Zhou and her family were extremely friendly to her.

Seeing that everything was ready, Village Chief Zheng cleared his throat, stood on the big rock under the yellow poplar tree, and said with full energy: "Fellow villagers, I called you all here today because I have great news to announce! The eldest daughter-in-law of the Xie family, Xu Yingtao, is going to lead our entire village to make money!"

He briefly explained the plan he had discussed with Xu Yingtao, and the discussion on the drying dam immediately exploded.

Some were surprised, some were delighted, but most simply didn't believe it.

This is really a huge joke. Although the second branch of the Xie family has lived at the foot of the mountain all year round and rarely interacts with the village, almost everyone in the village knows what the situation of his family is.

It is simply laughable to say that a family that can't even afford food can lead the whole village to make money.

Xu Yingtao and Village Chief Zheng had already anticipated this scene. They looked at each other, and the latter picked up the gong and struck it hard again.

"Boom-"

The scene suddenly became quiet.

Village Chief Zheng stroked his beard and said slowly, "I know you guys don't believe me, but it doesn't matter. Yingtao has specially prepared a lot of food today. Please try it. After tasting it, it won't be too late for everyone to express their opinions."

After saying that, Xu Yingtao led Zhou Pozi and her group, opened the lid of the wooden barrel, and swiftly took bowls to serve green jelly and fried tofu spicy strips.

There are not many slices in each bowl, only four or five, but it is enough for everyone to taste.

It was then that everyone realized that the barrels were not filled with water, but food.

Although they didn't know what those were, they couldn't help but drool just by looking at the green, oily and red appearance.

After everyone tasted it, they were amazed.

Oh my god! This smells so good!

A woman took a small bite and couldn't bear to eat it anymore, so she wanted to take it home for her elderly and children to try.

The Chen family members were all numb.

Ever since the old village chief announced that the second branch would lead the entire village to make money, her brain seemed to have rusted and she could no longer think about anything.

She ate the jelly and spicy strips bite by bite, wanting to save some for her younger son, but she just couldn't stop eating.

It was not until I uncontrollably finished all the jelly and fried tofu in the bowl that my maternal instinct gradually returned, and I suddenly felt a little regretful.

Seeing her husband holding the bowl and unwilling to eat, she ignored the cold war between the two and stepped forward with a smile: "Boss, are these all for our son?"

Someone who was quick to react finally came to his senses and asked loudly, "Village Chief, why do you only want 30 households? What about the rest? My niece's jelly and spicy noodles are really delicious, and 30 households are not enough to sell them to!"

Previously, I called Xu Yingtao a yellow-haired girl, but now she has become my niece. This transformation can be said to be very fast.

Everyone agreed.

Village chief Zheng was very satisfied with the change in everyone's attitude. He analyzed the pros and cons according to Xu Yingtao's previous remarks, and promised that this month was just a transition period, and he would strive to make every household make money next month.

Everyone was finally relieved.

But making money a month earlier means having income a month earlier. Especially since they had just lost a large amount of food and silver in the past two days, no one was willing to give up this opportunity, and they all volunteered to do so.

For a while, the drying dam was filled with chaos and chatter.

Village chief Zheng had to strike the gong again before he was able to control the situation.
