After traveling through time, I led the whole village to become rich!

After all the people from other villages had received theirs, Zhang Hulan distributed them to the villagers of Daping Village.

The fifty people who first dug the fish pond earned thirty cents a day, but those who later opened up the land also earned twenty cents a day.

In fact, some people do have opinions in their hearts, but they just don’t dare to say it.

They knew that if they dared to say that the wages were too little or unfair, Zhang Hulan would definitely not hire them. There were so many people working in other villages, and there was no need for them at all.

The people who worked in Daping Village also got meat, and everyone who worked got a piece.

If both husband and wife worked for Zhang Hulan, each family could get two pieces, and they would be very happy.

The rest of the villagers were watching Zhang Hulan distributing the wages. They were extremely envious when they saw those people getting both money and meat.

Zhao Heigou was extremely jealous, but now he didn't dare to provoke Zhang Hulan again, and he didn't even dare to provoke the rest of the Zhang family.

After the wages were paid, everyone left.

Zhao Heigou discovered one thing: Zhang Hulan gave meat to everyone else except Zhao Guoliang's family.

Seeing Zhao Guoliang, Zhou Shi, and Zhao Cheng walking home, Zhao Heigou followed them. Zhao Guoliang and the others ignored Zhao Heigou and walked back on their own.

When they got home, Zhao Guoliang saw Zhao Heigou still following him, so he asked, "What's wrong?"

Zhao Heigou asked with a smile, "Uncle, Zhang Hulan gave meat to everyone else, why didn't she give any to you and Auntie?"

Before Zhao Guoliang could say anything, Zhou asked, "How do you know they didn't give it to us? Do you have to see it?"

Zhou now disliked Zhao Heigou very much. After they fled the famine, they borrowed a lot of food from her family.

Since his nephew asked for money, Zhao Guoliang couldn't refuse, so he borrowed some every time.

Zhao Guoliang said, "Black Dog, stop gossiping and just live your life well."

"Uncle, I know. I also want to live a good life." Zhao Heigou rubbed his hands and said with a smile, "Uncle, why don't you go talk to Zhang Hulan and ask her to let me work for her too?"

Just as Zhao Guoliang was about to speak, Zhou spoke first, "Why don't you ask yourself? Don't you have a mouth?"

"Aunt, I had some unpleasantness with Zhang Hulan, and I'm afraid she'll hold a grudge against me. Uncle is the head of the village, and we have a good relationship. If I go and speak for her, Zhang Hulan will definitely give me face."

Zhou said, "Do you think your uncle's reputation is that great? Every time a favor is used, it's worth less. If we spend it on you, how can we ask him for help when we have problems in the future?"

You have to clean up your own shit yourself, don't expect your uncle to clean up your ass."

Zhou didn't give any face this time. If Zhao Heigou could help him if he knew what was going on, it wouldn't be a big deal, as they are all relatives.

But given Zhao Heigou's character, Zhou didn't want to help him at all.

It's best to draw a clear line with him so that he won't come to you for trouble in the future.

Zhou's words were very harsh, but Zhao Guoliang did not stop her.

He also felt a little disappointed with his son. If he had been more capable, how could he, as his uncle, not help him? In fact, he had helped him a lot.

But if he was asked to plead with Zhang Hulan to let Zhao Heigou go to work, he would not open his mouth.

If Zhao Heigou went to Zhao Zhanghulan to apologize himself, he could still help me put in a few words on the side. But Zhao Heigou himself didn't go, so how could Zhao Guoliang go?

Zhao Heigou looked at Zhou with dissatisfaction and said, "Aunt, how can you say that? I am my uncle's nephew. When my father passed away, my uncle promised my father that he would take care of me.

I just asked my uncle to speak up for me, what's so difficult about that? Don't you have any respect for family affection at all?"

Zhao Guoliang slammed the table and said, "Asshole, how do you talk to your aunt?"

Zhao Cheng couldn't bear to listen any longer and said, "Black Dog, haven't my parents helped you enough over the years? They've almost raised you. Do you still have a conscience when you say this?"

Mrs. Zhou wasn't too angry. She snorted, "Hmph. They say a little kindness pays off, a big rice pays grudge. It's absolutely true."

Zhou then looked at Zhao Guoliang and said, "Old man, I'm making this clear today. If you give Zhao Heigou another grain of rice, we won't be able to live like this.

Our family's life is just like this. Cuifen is not in good health, and the cost of medicine is quite high. Instead of giving our things to this heartless person, it is better to buy Cuifen some good medicine. "

Cuifen, Zhao Cheng's wife, surnamed Jiang, had a difficult birth a few years ago. The doctor asked Zhao Cheng, Zhao Guoliang, and Zhou whether to save the older or younger child. Zhou wanted to save the younger, but Zhao Cheng wanted to save the older one. In the end, Zhao Guoliang decided to save the older one.

Jiang's life was saved, but her health was severely damaged, and she didn't recover even after several years of recuperation. Zhao Cheng still doesn't have a child.

So Jiang just helped cook and do some housework at home every day, and she couldn't do any physical work at all.

Zhao Guoliang took a deep breath. He knew his wife had been unhappy with him for years, but she hadn't said anything because they were relatives. It was just that Zhao Heigou was a hopeless case. If he continued like this, how would his family survive? Zhao Guoliang had a clear understanding of this.

Zhao Guoliang said, "Hei Gou, please leave. From now on, our two families will not have any contact. You live your life, and we will live our own."

Zhao Guoliang had already spoken, and Zhao Cheng didn't wait for Zhao Heigou to say anything before pushing the man out the door.

"Don't come to my house again, or I'll be rude to you."

Zhao Cheng pushed Zhao Heigou out of the yard gate and then slammed it shut.

"Uncle, why are you so cruel?"

"You don't even care about your own nephew? Are you worthy of my dead father?"

Zhao Heigou was shouting outside the yard, and Zhao Cheng picked up a carrying pole and went out to beat Zhao Heigou.

"Forget it, leave him alone."

Zhao Guoliang didn't let Zhao Cheng go out. If they started fighting, it would only make others laugh at them.

Jiang had been in the kitchen all the time. When she saw that the house was quiet, she took the food to the main room.

"Dad, Mom, let's eat."

Zhou looked at Jiang and said, "Cui Fen, I didn't have any objections to you before, so don't think too much about it."

Jiang showed a bitter smile and shook her head, "I won't think too much, mother."

She has felt guilty all these years for not adding children to the Zhao family and instead bringing burden to the whole family.

She once thought about dying, but her husband treated her so well that she couldn't bear to leave.

As they sat down to eat, Zhao Guoliang said, "We've been able to save some money over the past few months. Once we've saved more, Zhao Cheng, take Cuifang to the city to see a doctor."

Jiang said quickly, "Dad, don't waste money. My health can't be cured. Keep the money. If I..."

"Alright..." Zhou said, "Don't say such unlucky things. Your father, Zhao Cheng, and I have a combined monthly income of nearly three taels of silver. If we save up for a year or two, we can go to the capital and find a good doctor to see and get some good medicine. Maybe we can cure it."

"We are not the kind of people who are heartless. If you really can't be cured, then that's your fate. As long as there is hope of a cure, we will treat you no matter how much it costs, even if we have to borrow money."

Jiang lowered her head, her eyes moist. She felt that her life was worth it.
