As soon as the village heads left, the villagers in the yard gathered around. They came to ask what kind of things would be suitable to sell at the stall.

"My dear grandparents, please listen to me."

Everyone gathered around and started talking, so Qing Ning had to ask everyone to be quiet.

"No matter what's on sale at the market, it has to be neat and tidy. It's best to pick up the rich's novelties. Even if they aren't novel, they're still creative and they're looking for a bit of fun. Rich families usually have their servants do their shopping, so they don't go there in person. Isn't the market a chance for them to experience the lives of ordinary people? So, no matter what's on sale, they're sure to be happy to take a look."

In a word, it should be clean, refreshing, exquisite and novel.

"Oh, after hearing what you said, we feel relieved. We were thinking that there must be something they haven't seen before. Now we feel relieved and we will definitely clean up the things." One person in the crowd spoke up, and the others agreed with him as well, feeling that this was the truth. No one was nervous at the moment, and everyone had a smile on their face.

After everyone dispersed, the yard suddenly became much emptier. The village chief did not leave yet, looking as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

"What's wrong, Grandpa Village Chief? Do you have anything to say?"

"Qing Ning, Grandpa really wants to discuss something with you."

Qing Ning saw that the village chief was hesitant and did not urge him.

"Look, Chen Xiang came to me (Chen Xiang is Chen Laoguai), and his family wanted to book a stall. I was afraid to let him go because of the feud between him and yours. But I also thought that they still live in Chenjia Village, and the mushroom business would be confiscated from them. If I leave them alone for a long time, I'm afraid they'll become resentful and cause trouble."

The village chief's idea was actually not bad. Everyone in the village had money to earn, so it would be okay if they were ignored once or twice. But if it happened too many times, they would inevitably feel resentful. Besides, that family was not a reasonable family.

Qing Ning listened to this and lowered her head in thought, not knowing whether to let go or not.

Seeing Qing Ning's hesitation, Qing Yu spoke up, "Grandpa Village Head, you can give them the stall, but they must abide by the rules, and the stall owner that day can't be a savage like the old Jiao family mother-in-law and daughter-in-law."

When the village chief and Qing Ning heard this, they were stunned for a moment.

Seeing this, Qing Yu explained, "Just like you said, Grandpa, if everyone has a way to make money, but their family is left alone, they will definitely feel resentful after a long time. If that happens, I'm afraid they will really do something. Losing some money is not a big deal, but if they have the intention of killing us, it will be a matter of life and death."

But we must not underestimate the darkness in people's hearts caused by jealousy. Anything is possible. If you drive the dog into a dead end, it will definitely backfire. Either you nip all these hidden dangers in the bud, or if you can't, leave a way out.

"Yes, I'm worried about that too. Don't worry, I will definitely make sure they behave themselves and not mess around. I'll also let them know that this is because of your family's kindness and we won't bother with them."

Qingyu smiled but said nothing. Qingning took over and said, "Well, I don't want to have anything to do with their family. As long as they don't come near my house, it's fine. I'll just tell you about the village affairs. As for the rest, it's all up to you, the village chief. I can't just let it go. If I do, I'm afraid my grandfather will jump out of the underground and scold me for being a scoundrel."

"I know that you two are good kids." The village chief smiled and said in a loving tone.

After receiving the letter, the village chief left without saying anything. Qingyu watched the village chief leave and asked, "Little sister, do you blame me for making decisions on my own?"

"Brother, I don't blame you. I know your concerns are justified. If they weren't from the same village or surname, it would be fine. Just let them do whatever they want. Besides, if this continues, and they develop harmful intentions, how can we prevent them? As the saying goes, there's no such thing as a thief who steals all day long. Given the current situation, they'll definitely find a loophole if they really want to do something bad. It's better to give them a little leeway. If they're still not satisfied and develop malicious intentions, then the villagers won't let them off."

Seeing that his younger sister understood the key points, Qingyu touched her head with satisfaction.

The two turned around and saw Old Lady Chen standing under the eaves. She must have heard the conversation with the village chief. Qingyu was afraid that she would be angry, so he wanted to explain and comfort her.

"Stop talking, Grandma just heard everything and understands your worries. There's nothing that family can't do. You're right, we're all from the same village. If we don't let them get any benefits, something bad will definitely happen. Grandma isn't angry, I'm just worried that family won't be satisfied and will still not learn from their mistakes."

Old Mrs. Chen selfishly didn't want that family to get any advantage, but she also understood that the village chief and his men were right to be concerned, so she understood and wasn't angry. But she was also worried that by then their appetites would become bigger and they would look down on these small favors, which would be even more annoying.

"Don't worry, when the time comes, we'll let that family see if they agree with our fists." Qing Ning showed her little fist and raised it hatefully.

A few people chuckled: "What are you doing? Are our family bandits?"

"What should people be afraid of? They are afraid of officials, power and strength. We don't have the first two, but our family is not afraid of this strength. If the time comes, we will use our fists to speak." Qing Ning didn't think much of it. There was nothing to worry about.

"Yes, I'll beat them up with you then."

"You two clever guys, who can you beat with your little arms and legs?"

Old Mrs. Chen laughed and said angrily.

"Grandma, you are so kind and generous. You are the best old lady." Qing Ning saw that Old Lady Chen had calmed down, so she walked up to her, hugged her waist, and started to act coquettishly and praise her, making Old Lady Chen laugh and cry.

"Did you make your grandma angry again? Are you hugging her and acting like a spoiled brat?"

Chen Changjiang's teasing voice rang out. The three of them looked up and saw Old Lady Chen asking, "You're leaving work so early today?"

"Father" Qingyu and Qingning were very happy to see their father come back.

"Mom, the old house over there has been repaired. I'll be back soon after I've paid the wages."

As Chen Changjiang spoke, he put the things in the shed and washed his hands with water.

"Qing Ning, my father doesn't have any work to do right now. If you need my help at home, just tell me."

Chen Changjiang was half serious and half joking.

"Okay, don't worry, Father. There are a lot of things to do at home, and I will definitely not let you sit idle."

Qingning responded playfully. Chen Changjiang came over, picked up Qingning, threw her up and caught her, which made Qingning laugh.

"Qingyu, the meal is ready. Come over to eat with your aunt and the others."

"Okay, grandma." Qingyu ran away. Because many families helped before, they were provided with meals until the workshop officially started. Now that it is gradually getting on track, they no longer prepare lunch for the workers, and only one family is left with Mr. Ma and his group.
