"You..." Jiang Yue didn't expect that Mu Heng would come to return the money.

She did not refuse, and she respected Mu Heng enough.

"Come to our shop and have a bowl of noodles."

"Let's go." Jiang Erni also nodded. This beggar was different from other beggars. He seemed to be quite strong-willed.

Mu Heng did not refuse and followed them quietly.

He was just near the stall, but because of his tattered clothes, he did not go closer and just sat far away on the stone steps at the end of the East Street.

At the shop, Jiang Erni started helping as soon as she arrived.

Jiang Sanni was busy as hell, and she didn't forget to serve noodles to Jiang Yue first.

"Where is Xiaoliu?" she asked Jiang Erni.

"In..." Jiang Erni looked around and finally her eyes fixed on the stones at the end of the alley.

"There it is."

"Is it him?" Jiang Sanni took two bowls of noodles at once and walked to the end of East Street.

Jiang Yue was asking Mu Heng about what had happened in recent days. She looked up and saw her third sister, so she took the bowl of noodles.

Mu Heng looked up at the thin noodles with a fried egg and a hint of oil, and couldn't help swallowing.

"Eat." Jiang Sanni put the noodles directly into his hands and trotted away to work.

Mu Heng was embarrassed, his face felt a little hot, and he started to chew with chopsticks.

"Xiao Liu, you want me to follow you to do business, so why not come to your small noodle shop to do odd jobs?"

Jiang Yue shook her head, slurped a mouthful of noodles, and after swallowing it, she said:

"I want you to be a peddler and also a bodyguard."

"Peddler? Escort?" Mu Heng's face was full of confusion.

Jiang Yue: "Yes, that's what you understand. I'll pay you every day."

"However, our current business is not very big and is still in the development stage, so we may have less work at the beginning."

Mu Heng probably understood a little bit.

In the afternoon, Jiang Yue went to the martial arts gym again and practiced basic skills just like in the morning.

That night, Jiang Yue told her grandmother that she wanted to hire someone to help with her family's business.

After listening to this, Liu Chunfeng thought it was feasible.

"Xiao Liu did help grandma out of her urgent need. But is the boy you mentioned who sold our livestock reliable?"

Liu Chunfeng didn't look down on beggars, but she really didn't understand Mu Heng.

"Whether he is reliable or not, we have Brother Lin with us." Jiang Yue's words temporarily dispelled Liu Chunfeng's doubts.

After a long period of contact, she knew that Lin Guo was a reliable person.

"Okay, grandma, I'll invite someone to come to our house to kill the pig tomorrow, and then sell the pork."

When it came to slaughtering pigs, she didn't quite trust Lin Guo.

But the next morning, after Lin Guo learned of his grandmother's decision, he volunteered.

He said that he would be responsible for slaughtering the pig and he guaranteed that there would be no mistakes. Liu Chunfeng agreed because of his promise.

...The next day, Jiang Yue and her second and third sisters were on their way home in the car.

Mu Heng, who had changed out of his beggar's attire, was driving the car in front, driving it steadily.

In the car, Jiang Erni and Jiang Sanni looked at each other, and finally, they both turned their eyes to Mu Heng.

You know what, after changing his clothes, he seems like a different person.

Jiang Sanni: "Brother Mu, have you really decided to work for my family?"

Mu Heng turned around and smiled heartily, "From now on, leave your family's business to me."

He just wanted to feed his little brothers.

Jiang Erni: "This is fine."

Jiang Yue: "My two sisters, it's time for our family to hire more help. However, Brother Mu may not be very good at doing business at first, so let Brother Lin accompany him."

Jiang Sanni also thought so. After all, Mu Heng couldn't even tell the difference between a donkey and a horse.

As Jiang Yue spoke, she looked not far behind her at the eight beggars who were following her cautiously.

They are all young, ranging from about ten to fourteen years old.

Their faces were sallow due to long-term hunger, but that did not affect their good mood at the moment.

As for why Mu Heng brought them along, he had just gotten back his money and also beat up another group of beggars who bullied them so badly that they couldn't get up for several days and nights.

So, because we are afraid that they will seek revenge, we will be beaten if we don’t bring them with us.

"Brother Mu, how old are you?" Jiang Yue suddenly became curious.

Mu Heng: “Fourteen years old.”

Jiang Erni thought to herself, she is the same age as her older sister.

She said, "Brother Mu, our family already has two long-term workers, and you are the third one."

"The... third one?" Mu Heng thought of Lin Guo and Cheng Yuchu. "They all live in your house?"

Jiang Sanni: "They all live on my ranch."

Mu Heng was surprised after hearing this.

When they got closer to the village, Mu Heng did not go to the pasture immediately, but went to the mountains with his beggar brothers and found a secret place for them.

Then, we went to the ranch.

...In the ranch, only Lin Guo and Cheng Yu were feeding the grass. Jiang Sini and Jiang Wuni were cooking at home and were not here.

As soon as Mu Heng arrived at the ranch, he received puzzled looks from Lin Guo and Cheng Yuchu.

Then, Lin Guo pulled Mu Heng aside to ask the reason.

After asking, they all looked at Jiang Yue at the same time. How could Xiaoliu, who is so young, have so many ideas?

Thinking about tomorrow's business,

Jiang Yue, together with her second and third sisters, boiled a pot of water.

Then, there was a scene where three young men worked together to kill a pig...

Lin Guo and Mu Heng are together, dragging pigs out of the pigpen...

… Then, Mu Heng and Cheng Yuchu were in charge of fixing the pig, while Lin Guo stabbed the pig’s heart along its neck…

The second and third sisters looked at it at the same time and covered their eyes at the same time.

Jiang Yue had already taken the wooden basin and placed it under the pig's neck.

Today was the first time that Lin Guo slaughtered a pig. The pig died with a painful wail.

Cheng Yuchu's scalp numbed when he saw it, and he endured the discomfort and helped remove the hair.

Finally, Lin Guo cut open the pig's belly, Mu Heng cut off the pig's head and tail, and dug out the pig's internal organs...

As soon as Liu Chunfeng and Jiang Dani returned home, they saw this scene...

That night, Mu Heng had a meal of meat.

Before leaving, Liu Chunfeng heard that Mu Heng was going to stay in a cave tonight, so she kindly let him and Lin Guo stay for the night.

But after hearing that Mu Heng had many beggar brothers, he gave him a bowl of fresh meat soup mixed with meat chunks, along with a few steamed buns.

At night, in a cave at the foot of the mountain, beggars were lying all over the place on a thick pile of straw.

"Get up and eat."

One person wakes up,

"There's meat to eat!" It was the beggar who once carried Mu Heng to the pharmacy, Hu Er.

A few short words, and the beggars smelled the scent and stood up one by one.

"smell good."

"I'm right, aren't I? Follow Big Brother and you'll have meat to eat."

"..."

"..."

The day after slaughtering the pig, Lin Guo and Mu Heng drove a donkey cart to the West Market of the county town and set up a stall to sell meat.

At the same time, they also did not forget to bring chickens, rabbits and eggs to deliver goods to some wealthy families.

The first time, Jiang Dani also went with them. They first went to a restaurant and left 20 kilograms of pork, as well as chickens, rabbits, game, eggs, etc.

Then he took him to those relatively stable wealthy families.

Because Liu Chunfeng had asked several times for a long time, those stable and wealthy families would ask her to send them a chicken, a rabbit, and a few pounds of eggs every now and then.

This is also the reason why Jiang Yue wants to use Mu Heng.

After delivering the chickens and rabbits, Mu Heng noted down the places one by one, and to sell pork, they went to the West Market again.

As soon as I got there, I met an old man who came to ask for the price, "Give me two pounds of pork."

After all, the county town is much larger than the town, and selling meat is just a matter of time.

"Okay." Lin Guo raised his knife and cut it, and Jiang Dani followed to collect the money.

After Lin Guo followed him for a few days, Mu Heng was able to complete the task independently.

From then on, he brought his younger brothers with him to train together.

...In the autumn, the Jiang family's corn is gradually ripening.

Jiang Yue knew that her family was harvesting corn. She was not even as tall as the corn, but after school she joined her fifth sister, stretching her arms and picking corn.

The corn harvest is good, and Liu Chunfeng is busy in the fields every day.

Except for the second and third sisters who went to Qinghe Town to do business, the rest of the sisters were also busy all day long.

Jiang Yue didn't want to see her grandmother overworked, so she suggested that she hire a few more idle men in the village.

This time, Liu Chunfeng listened to the advice and harvested the 18 acres of corn quickly.

All the harvested corn was taken to the vacant space in the pasture.

After dinner, the family sat around a pile of corn and picked leaves.

Jiang Yue was certainly not idle either. Under the moonlight, she worked with her grandmother and sisters.

The experience of working at night was really not good. I felt uncomfortable all over due to mosquito bites.

So, when she returned home the next day, she and her fifth sister went to the mountains to find some mugwort to repel mosquitoes.

The husked corn was piled up into small hills and left to dry in the pasture.

Anyway, there are people watching over the ranch, so they are not afraid of losing it.

After drying, they are temporarily piled up in the newly built thatched house, and there is no plan to sell them.

The Jiang family planted 18 acres of high-quality farmland. One acre of land required two kilograms of seeds, and the yield per acre was about 400 kilograms, which was much higher than that of wheat.

The average farmer only produces two to three hundred kilograms per mu. The Jiang family is able to make money thanks to their own farm manure mixed with some wood ash.

After the autumn harvest, the food for the family’s livestock and poultry improved greatly.

The business gradually expanded day by day.

Jiang Yue grew up while learning literature, medicine, and for a short time, martial arts.

In a blink of an eye, two years later...
