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

"Don't argue!" Village Chief Zheng said in a deep voice, "I will first announce the ten households selling jelly!"

After the list of names was read out, everyone realized belatedly that the spots had already been decided.

The ten households whose names were called were so excited that they almost jumped up. Half of them were the ones who had lent money to Jiang.

Then came the list of people who were going to help out in the tofu workshop. They were all women in the village who were skillful and rarely gossiped.

This result left the villagers who lost the election with mixed feelings.

Thinking of the scene when Jiang came to them and they refused, they were filled with regret.

If they had known that helping others was the same as helping themselves, they would have helped the second branch of the Xie family no matter what.

After talking about the list, the next thing to do is to announce the salaries.

Village Chief Zheng gave this link to Xu Yingtao.

Xu Yingtao understood that her grandfather wanted to help her establish authority in the village.

She did not disappoint the old man's expectations. She stood on the big rock with confidence and announced the salary ratio to the whole village.

The mother and her two children looked at her standing on a high place and explaining in an orderly manner, and they felt proud of her.

After hearing this, everyone did some calculations and could only describe their jealousy towards the ten families who sent the jelly.

Even if you only sell fifty pieces of jelly every day, you can earn one and a half taels in a month!

What's more, you don't need to invest any capital yourself, just some effort. After selling all the jelly every day, you can go to the second branch of the Xie family to settle the payment. What's the difference between this and pie falling from the sky?

The women who were chosen to work in the tofu workshop were filled with gratitude. They could earn 600 coins a month without any exposure to the sun or wind. They had never dared to dream of such a good thing.

While everyone was talking, Village Chief Zheng struck the gong again.

"Don't worry if you are not chosen. I have learned some methods to fertilize the fields. Before the wheat is planted, those who have time can come to my house in a few days to learn. It doesn't matter if you don't want to learn. Next year, when other families have a good wheat harvest, you just don't be jealous."

The crowd was quiet for a while, and then exploded again.

Land is the foundation of farmers. To farmers, the words “can fertilize the fields” are even more tempting than “can make money”.

Even though most of the people expressed their willingness to learn, the remaining few were still struggling and hesitating. Fortunately, there were still a few days of preparation period, which was enough for them to sign up at any time.

Xu Yingtao was stunned. She thought that only the Zheng family would believe her, but she ended up underestimating the village chief's prestige in the village.

But I have to say, this scene where everyone’s hearts and minds are working together is really eye-warming.

Village chief Zheng rarely frowned and scolded everyone harshly.

"Cherry doesn't owe you anything. She is willing to help you out of kindness. Don't take advantage of your age to bully her. If I find out who is cheating, I will ask you to pack up and leave on the same day!"

Aunt Wang echoed loudly: "Don't worry, Village Chief, our niece is our Goddess of Wealth. Unless your head is hit by the door, no one dares to offend her!"

Her son's life was saved by Xu Yingtao, and her husband was lucky enough to be chosen to sell jelly. At this moment, her gratitude to Xu Yingtao reached its peak.

It is said that in the past few days she would go to the thatched cottage at the foot of the mountain from time to time to walk around, just to thank Xu Yingtao in person, but strangely enough, every time she went back, there was no one at home.

Only then did she come to her senses. It turned out that the other person was doing business in the town every day, so naturally they would not meet.

Chen, who had offended Xu Yingtao countless times: "..."

She didn't dare to say anything at this time, she just wished she had never come to the drying dam.

From the moment the old village chief announced the list, the Chen family knew that their family would inevitably lose, and the facts proved that this was indeed the case.

But she didn't feel any resentment towards the second wife in her heart. At this moment, there was only regret, deep regret!

People often say that things change over time, but she never thought that such a thing would happen to her.

"Boss, what should we do?" Chen lowered her voice, her face burning with embarrassment.

She felt like she had become the laughing stock of the whole village, and everyone who was whispering was talking about her.

Xie Daniu glanced at her indifferently and didn't respond.

Village chief Zheng continued to beat the villagers.

"You may not like what I'm going to say next, but I have to say it for the benefit of the whole village! Forget about the people in this village, but for those women who married from other villages, I know you want to help your parents, and I won't stop you. But you must not teach your parents anything you learn in the workshop in private!"

Village Chief Zheng's expression became more serious: "Don't think I'm trying to scare you. If your mother's family learns the craft and sells it to customers at a lower price, then the food produced in our village won't be sold, and you won't make any money. Your children, who used to be able to afford white rice, will only be able to drink grain porridge in the future..."

It’s no wonder that before he criticized everyone, many wives actually had the idea of supporting their natal family.

Especially after paying the grain tax, life was difficult for every household.

They have been brainwashed by their parents since they were young, and almost every one of them has the potential to be a brother-supporting woman. They would like to eat less so that their brothers from their natal family can live a good life.

But now the old village chief hit the pain point directly and said bluntly that helping her mother's family would mean plundering and dividing the resources of her own children. They could still distinguish between their own children and brothers, which was more important. The women immediately made up their minds and promised not to reveal a word to their mother's family!

Xu Yingtao looked at the ever-changing expressions of the women on the dam and couldn't help but curl the corners of her lips.

In fact, her original intention was not to scare these women, but she really didn't want to cause trouble before the product had formed a brand effect.

That's why she came up with this idea.

The first mobilization meeting for poverty alleviation and prosperity in Nanxi Village came to a successful conclusion with the impassioned speech of the old village chief.

As soon as the meeting was over, people from the second branch of the Xie family were surrounded, especially Xu Yingtao, who was showered with compliments.

Some smart ones even changed their words immediately and called Xu Yingtao "little boss" directly.

Xu Yingtao calmly accepted everyone's goodwill and told the jelly selling team to bring their own utensils to her house to get the jelly tomorrow.

As for the women working in the soy product workshop, they will report to the Feng family tomorrow to receive training.

Of course, there are also people who are not convinced, such as Xu Erlai.

In the peaceful atmosphere, Xu Erlai asked in a very arrogant manner, "Why does the tofu workshop only hire women? Do you look down on us men?"

Xu Yingtao learned about this kind of person from Mrs. Zhou yesterday. He was idle all day long, playing with cats and dogs, and every household was annoyed by him.

Hearing his question, Xu Yingtao said calmly: "Those who sell jelly outside are all men, and they earn more. Didn't you hear it?"

Xu Erlai picked a piece of dogtail grass and picked his teeth: "Yes, I heard it, but why are there only ten households? Can't I be included in the list?"

Just when everyone thought Xu Yingtao was going to refuse, she smiled triumphantly and said, "Okay, you can come and get it tomorrow morning, but the sales areas have been divided. You can only go to Taohua Village, otherwise there will be no jelly for your family."

Xu Erlai sucked his teeth when he heard this.
