Koi baby helps his mother farm and becomes the richest man

Zhang Jinzhi frowned when he heard this, feeling that this old man was really taking things too far.

Uncle Chen Jiu hurriedly said, "Master, to be honest, there is no shortage of food in our village now. I am not greedy for the wages and food you give me."

He said worriedly, "The truth is, the Zhao family's situation is special. I'm afraid that over time, some bad rumors will spread about them.

"If there were a few more people mixed in, it would probably be better."

Zhang Jinzhi didn't dare to make a decision and just looked at Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu smiled and praised, "Tongshu Village is blessed to have an elder like you! Okay, I agree. You can choose the candidates, but no more than five, and they must be strong."

"That's no problem!" Uncle Chen Jiu smiled. "As long as we farmers are not too young to learn to walk or too old to walk, we all have plenty of strength!"

He also specifically promised: "We will never send anyone with bad character to you!"

Zhou Yu nodded, and Uncle Chen Jiu immediately went back to consider candidates.

In fact, Tongshutun was quite puzzled as to why Zhou Yu asked Qin Ying for help.

Although they benefited a lot from the Zhao family, the idea of favoring boys over girls was deeply rooted in their minds. They always felt that most of the Zhao family's good luck should come from Zhao Hu.

Not long after Qin Ying arrived in Tongshu Village, her mother died. Then her husband was drafted. Then, a severe drought struck Heishan, and her parents-in-law died one after another. Her sister-in-law was also taken away...

No matter how you look at it, he looks like a jinx.

If she hadn't been capable and the Zhao family mother and son hadn't been so determined to protect her, the villagers would have driven her out long ago.

Although her reputation has reversed somewhat now, what help can she bring with a little kid to the grown men?

Some people also gradually recalled Qin Ying's appearance in the past - fresh and tender, with a lively complexion. There was no girl prettier than her in the surrounding area.

Could it be that he is so conceited that he thinks Guo Wen must be dead since he has not been heard from since then, so he wants to find a future for himself?

She could forget about that old master. He was so capable and handsome at such a young age. Why would he want a second-hand girl with a baby?

Well, I still have to have a good talk with the Zhao family. Farmers should live an honest life and not think too much about things that are not theirs.

It's just that with Uncle Chen Jiu keeping an eye on things, no one has stepped forward to cause trouble yet.

Now that Uncle Chen Jiu is selecting people in the village, the villagers are excited and are scrambling to sign up.

Uncle Chen Jiu called everyone to the threshing ground.

The old man had a sullen face and walked around the villagers twice.

In the first circle, the villagers were still chattering and talking, but in the second circle, they gradually fell silent, and everyone's face showed some uneasiness.

Uncle Chen Jiu stood in front of everyone with his hands behind his back, and said coldly, "Now you can all drink water, right? You can all eat, right? You don't have to wait to die, right? You're not afraid of being dug out and eaten right after you bury it, right?!"

The villagers were shocked and asked, "Uncle Jiu, what do you mean?"

"Master Jiu, why do you speak like that?"

"That's right, if you point out what we did wrong, how can we not correct it?"

Grandma Wang said quietly, "When you're alive, you need to accumulate virtue. Otherwise, you'll go to hell when you die. Even if you're reincarnated, you might be reborn as an animal."

She looked up at Uncle Chen Jiu and curled her lips slightly, "Brother Jiu, you're getting old and you can't speak clearly anymore!"

“You brats,” she turned and gave the villagers a scornful smile, “who doesn’t know that I’m the one who’s playing crickets behind your back?

"How big is our village? If you fart loudly in the east, you can hear it in the west!

"After receiving a favor from someone, you still gossip about them behind their back. Isn't that bad manners?"

The villagers looked at each other, some lowered their heads in shame, while others looked unconvinced.

"You're still not convinced?" Uncle Chen Jiu sneered, "Have you forgotten who found and dug out the water we drink?

"Yingzi can't do it alone, and one person from the Zhao family can't do it. Can a young boy like Huzi do it?

"Who found the food that the Feng family found? Yingzi! It was almost dark at that time. If she hadn't said anything and sneaked it back to the Zhao family at night, would we have known about it?

"There haven't been many winds in recent years, and the grain we planted isn't filling well. Who's braved the scorching sun with a feather duster to help us fill the grain?"

He spat on the ground. "I, an old man, still remember that some people laughed at them for working for nothing! After the grain was harvested, you saw what happened to other villages and what happened to our village, right? You can tell me if it's someone else's credit or not?

"This idea was thought up by Yingzi alone!

"How much more food can we eat! And you still have the nerve to talk about others behind their backs? Are you really eating with your bowl in hand and cursing after putting it down?"

The villagers all lowered their heads in shame, not daring to breathe.

"And when we find pine nuts, hazelnuts, and grain in the mountains, how often do we keep them all to ourselves? Don't we always think of sharing them with the whole village? If we hide them secretly, we can eat them three times a day and fill ourselves up for three years!

"You've also imitated others and went up the mountain to look for mountain products, but when did you find any? You don't have the time, but you still can't stand seeing others have good luck?

"I didn't tell you before because I didn't want to make it public. Now I'm telling you the truth. The Mr. Zhou who lives in my house is our county lord!

"Mr. Zhou heard that we had discovered water here, so he came to see it. We all know what he did for us afterwards.

"Why did you ask Yingzi and Huzi to help? Isn't it because you think these two kids are lucky?

"Wouldn't it be possible to dig a new well if someone went out?

"Who among us could do that? If we can't do it, we'll just make up stories about others behind their backs. What do you call that? Is that called having red eyes?

"You received a favor from someone and didn't remember it, but instead spread rumors about that little girl. What do you call that? That's just a dirty heart!"

"If you have the ability, don't drink water, don't ask for food, do whatever you want, no one will care!

"If you don't have that ability, then keep your mouth shut! Bullying orphans and widows, see how capable you are!"

The woman with shallow eye sockets has begun to cry.

Grandma Wang said sarcastically, "I've hit you right in the gut and you're already pissing yourself, don't forget it the next time you turn around.

"People, if you lose your conscience, you're worse than pigs and dogs!"

Some of the villagers began to sob.

Uncle Chen Jiu couldn't help but give Grandma Wang an appreciative look, "Great job, sister!"

Grandma Wang raised her chin proudly.

After a while, Uncle Chen Jiu said, "I have already told Mr. Zhou that now that the busy farming season is over, we are all free. Farmers may not have much else, but they still have a lot of strength.

"We're not that lucky, so can't we help with the moving and lifting?

"Master Zhou has also agreed to select a few people from the village to help. They will be provided with three meals a day, and there may be some rewards after the work is completed."
