What Siyu didn't know was that everything he said to the village chief was heard by the people who were taking shelter under the big tree, and they were all whispering and talking to each other.

What? This damn girl actually stepped on ginseng and killed prey. Oh, this girl is so selfish. She had such a good thing, but she didn't tell everyone. She should have helped us. It's a pity that we all helped them.

They will not be left without a place to live when they are kicked out of their homes. We have really let down our efforts and have forgotten the kindness we have shown them.

Fourth Grandma came over and shouted, "Old Yang, Widow Hu, Old Lady Yang, you're so shameless! Why should you tell me when someone dug up ginseng? Your family caught rabbits in the mountains and gathered some wild delicacies, why don't you share some with everyone? And you, Old Lady Yang, your daughter-in-law is so good at making plans, why don't you teach the villagers a lesson? They've picked ginseng, why should you share it? You're so shameless! You're really just a toad pretending to be a frog, ugly and playful."

No wonder your son can’t find a wife. The old lady of the Yang family was so angry that her lips trembled and she cursed, “You old bitch, who are you talking about?”

Old Lady Yang

My son wants to marry a girl from the city.

Fourth Grandma curled her lips

I started arguing with a few gossips. Why do you have to care about us? You are just sitting there doing nothing. You are always picking on other people and licking their faces, but they don't pay any attention to you. Why didn't they invite you to dinner?

Fourth Grandma Road

How do you know you didn't call me? I'm happy to hear it, regardless. I'm telling you the truth. They found ginseng, so why should I tell you? They even asked you to go to the mountains, and there are so many wild animals, so why didn't you go on your own? A little girl painstakingly dug a ginseng plant, and now she's sharing it with you. It's like red rain from the sky, all sorts of weird things are happening. Who the hell are you? Hey! You're just pretending to be something you're not!

The eldest son of the third house, Fang Yaozu, and the youngest son of the first house, Fang Yaozong, who were playing behind the tree, heard that the fourth house had dug up ginseng and had game, and was also treating guests. No, they hurried home to tell their grandmother and aunt.

Fang Yaozu

Grandma, grandma

Fang Yaozong

Grandma, grandma

That bitch, the money-loser, dug up ginseng, hunted game, and even exchanged it for silver. She even treated us to a meal when she caught a roe deer? She didn't even treat us to a meal.

When Mrs. Li heard

She simply didn't take him, her mother, seriously. Furious, Mrs. Li called her eldest and third daughters-in-law, and rushed to the thatched house with all the family members.

On the other hand, Siyu was still busy, asking everyone to sit around the table and prepare to eat.

Siyu shouted

Great-grandfather, great-grandmother, aunts

Grandpa Lizheng, Grandma Lizheng, Aunt Qingya, my brothers and sisters

Grandpa, grandma, aunts, brothers, younger brothers, and sisters, it’s time to eat!

Siyu didn't know yet that trouble had come again, and a group of people were rushing towards her aggressively.

While they were chatting and laughing, the door of the shed was kicked open again. Everyone was startled and looked up to see a group of people walking into the yard of the old house.

Siyu secretly complained

It really is a haunting ghost! I was beaten and fled yesterday, and it's back again today. It's really an indestructible cockroach.

Old Lady Li entered the yard, sat down on the ground without saying a word, and shouted loudly, "Oh my God! Open your eyes and look! Chop these bastards to death! I raised him with all my heart, and now he has money but he doesn't even honor me, his mother. He didn't even give his mother some of the prey he hunted. He has younger brothers and sisters who need to be taken care of, and these nephews haven't eaten a bite of meat for almost a month. He didn't even invite me and his brothers to a meal. He has no conscience!" The villagers who followed the old house also looked at Old Lady Li sitting on the ground singing, chanting, and performing.

Fourth Grandma and several village women happened to hear the noisy noise and came over.

At this time, the chatterbox Aunt Fang said.

Oops! I'm not saying that! Fourth Brother, your mother, brother and sister-in-law, niece, and nephew are all here too, so let's eat together!

Pancake-faced man pretends to be righteous and says

We're all family, so why hold grudges? Let them all come in and eat at the table!

Er Laizi said

It's just right that we're all here, so let's get some meat too. It's been ages since we last had meat. Your life is getting better, Siyu? You can't forget your fellow villagers.

At this time, Widow Hu said

Fourth Brother, our Tieniu has helped you a lot, right? Why didn't you invite our Tieniu to dinner? You're so ungrateful!

Old Lady Yang said, "That's right. They're even relatives. Now that they've earned money, they don't care about the villagers. They just eat all the food for themselves. They don't even bother sharing some of the meat with us."

Siyu stood up and spoke loudly. "First of all, our family has severed ties with the old mansion family. Secondly, we have been adopted into the family tree and are now the family of Grandpa Baiwen, the second branch. As for you, you have no relationship with us anymore."

Second, Aunt Fang, are you going to disregard the clan rules and the laws of the Yulong Dynasty?

I remember your grandson had to buy two meat buns and cook a meal of meat every day, right? Since you're so generous, why not give your buns and meat to Old Lady Li?

And Mrs. Yang, I remember that your daughter-in-law is the best embroidery expert in the surrounding villages. Why don’t you let her teach the skills to everyone in the village?

And your Aunt Hu, you said that your second son stays at home every day, just like a pig, eating and sleeping. You said that you let him help the villagers with some work and earn a good reputation, but you never know when anyone will even look at him in the future.

Siyu sneered, "What's the matter? You want to take advantage of me when you have the meat, but you retreat when you are in trouble. That depends on whether I, Bai Siyu, agree or not. Let me tell you, as long as I, Bai Siyu, am here, you will never bully my family again. If anyone dares to bully my family again, I will do it to you!"

Siyu picked up a stone and weighed it. She squeezed the stone hard and it turned into powder. She kicked it and broke the stone as big as a bowl. The troublemakers and the people in the old house were frightened and retreated one after another, not daring to say a word. Siyu stared at them with a sharp look. Who would dare to cause trouble in the future?

I don't mind crushing a few of them and sending some food to the tigers in the mountains. Several people nodded repeatedly and said they didn't dare anymore. They were trembling with fear. Siyu felt that they were almost frightened, so she slapped them in the face and gave them a sweet date. I won't hide it from you today. I dug up a ginseng and sold it for some silver. I want to build a house to live in. I have to live without a house, so I have to buy some more land. I have already told the head of the village and the clan leader that I will build a house on this homestead and ask the villagers to help when the time comes.

The wage is 15 wen a day, including one meal. I'm hiring workers, and I'm looking for hardworking, capable people who don't cheat or act slacker. Those who cheat or act slacker aren't welcome, nor are those with relatives who are looking for trouble. Please spread the word, and sign up tomorrow by contacting the head of the village, the village head, or the clan leader. The villagers thought, this doesn't require leaving the house; they can earn money right at their doorstep. And at the old house, since arriving, two people have been staring at the same spot. These two people are none other than...

It was Bai Zhenzhu and Bai Shuya who were staring at Zhou Tingxuan. Their staring eyes were so intense that it was unbearable to look at him. Zhou Tingxuan had never taken his eyes off Bai Siyu since they entered the yard.

When he felt that several eyes were staring at him, he looked up inexplicably and saw two shy girls looking at Zhou Tingxuan shyly.

Zhou Tingxuan raised his head and looked at those sharp eyes. Seeing their eyes, he knew that they were the same as those girls in Beijing who looked at him. So he glared at them with disgust.

Siyu found it funny when she saw Zhou Tingxuan's disgusted look. Good looks are good, and as long as you have a good appearance, you will be popular wherever you go.

Okay, is everyone dismissed? We've said everything we need to say. Starting tomorrow, everyone should go around and tell each other. If you need work, please sign up and find Li Zheng, the village chief, and the clan leader. We still need to eat, so everyone should go home and do whatever they want!

So everyone dispersed in groups of three or four, and the farce ended just like that.

Siyu easily resolved the situation, and everyone gathered in the living room, watching Siyu chatting and laughing.

Zhou Tingxuan's heart began to get agitated and his face started to turn slightly red. He knew that something was wrong with him, but he couldn't tell what was wrong. He just wanted to see her laugh.

In Siyu's eyes, Zhou Tingxuan is like a person in a painting. She knows that she is now someone else's lover and soul in the painting.

Siyu went to reheat the dishes, and everyone ate and chatted, having a great time.

Siyu asked about the farmland again.

, Grandpa Chenglizheng

When does our village plant?

Village Head

Siyu only has five acres of high-quality paddy fields and more than ten acres of ordinary arable land. If you want more land, you have to go to the foot of the mountain, where there are 500 acres. It has not been sold because it is too close to the mountain and there are wild animals.

Siyu thought, "Great! No one dares to buy it, but he dares to do that!" He was not afraid of asking the village head.

The village head asked, "How much silver is one mu of this mountain land?" The village head said, "These 500 mu are mountain land, and I need to open it up myself. The price is one tael of silver per mu."

Siyu said, I understand!

The head of the village advised Siyu that with the 500 taels of silver, you could buy some good farmland. There was no need to spend so much manpower and resources to reclaim the good irrigated land. There were still wild animals on the hillside.

Siyu said, "Grandpa Village Head will give you something good later and you will know how easy it will be to open up the land."

Bai Qingyuan was calling everyone to try the new dishes. At this time, everyone noticed the black stuff on the table and asked curiously, what is this thing and why is it black? Is this edible?

Lan Niang said, this is called wood ear mushroom. It was Yu Yatou who found it and told us that we can eat it. It can also enrich our table and is very nutritious. It is easy to store, and we have it in the back mountain.

Siyu said, when the time comes, I will bring some back. If I can cultivate it, I will teach the method to the villagers.
