In a year of natural disasters, the young woman had billions of resources to build a paradise.

Manager Liao cried silently for a while. Once the tingling pain subsided, he really didn't dare to say anything more.

Jiang Mianmian had already set up tasks and rewards/punishments for these thirty-four thugs. These people were specifically responsible for reclaiming wasteland, one mu per person. Upon completion, they would be rewarded with ten jin of brown rice and five jin of cabbage. Before completion, they would only receive three liang of brown rice and two cabbage leaves per day.

She smiled at Steward Liao, "And you, you need to dig a dry toilet for your team as soon as possible. If you dirty my Peach Blossom Spring, you'll get an electric shock!"

"Okay, I'll do it right away!"

Manager Liao looked at his task slip and gritted his teeth as he agreed.

He couldn't refuse, he didn't want to get shocked again! Besides, he couldn't wait to dig a dry toilet, because before the dry toilet was finished, he would have to clean and wash the makeshift latrine himself!

Huh~

Xin Xiuniang and the others were overjoyed, their eyes filled with gratitude as they looked at Jiang Mianmian.

Fortunately, they were at level two, which meant they had high status and good conditions. Their jobs were also very simple: raising chickens, feeding pigs and cows, growing vegetables, sewing clothes, and tidying up. It was even easier than the jobs they used to do at home!

The daily diet is much better than that of Level 1, consisting of five ounces of brown rice or black flour and three ounces of green vegetables. If you perform well, you will receive an extra reward—an egg or an ounce of meat! The rewards for completing each task are also doubled.

Jiang Mianmian walked around the small huts. "Each hut is still missing seasonings, cooking utensils, and toiletries. Each person is also missing clothes and bedding. Go wait at the door, and we'll come in and move things in a bit."

She ushered everyone outside, then slipped into the warehouse and retrieved all the items.

The room suddenly filled up considerably. "Come in, everyone. These are sports uniforms, one set for each person, for easy work. These are underwear and socks, to be changed and washed daily, three sets per person. You can make your own fabric according to your measurements. Don't share tableware, and..."

After explaining some points to note, everyone nodded in agreement.

Xin Xiuniang looked outside, then at the things, and asked uncertainly, "Benefactor, are you an immortal descended to earth? These things..."

“I am not a fairy, but I have a fairy master. This paradise and all these things were given to me by her. The contract you signed also has fairy power, so I confirmed it with you several times before signing. As long as you work hard here, the fairy will not treat you unfairly.”

As for the consequences of not working properly, she didn't need to repeat them again.

When Xin Xiuniang and the others saw the miserable state of Manager Liao just now, they nodded knowingly. They were not afraid at all, but instead felt safer and were very happy. "We are so lucky to be able to live in this paradise-like place."

"Isn't that right? Not only can I eat my fill, but no one will hit me anymore!"

"Then you'd better work hard, otherwise getting an electric shock is much worse than getting beaten up!"

"I absolutely will not be electrocuted!"

Everyone laughed and joked for a while.

Jiang Mianmian spoke privately with a few people from Pingfu Village, asking, "Do you want to go back to the village and vent your anger?"

Anyway, it'll be on the way back anyway, so it's just a convenient thing to do.

After a moment of silence, they refused. "They sold me out, which means they've completely severed our relationship. I held a grudge back then, but I'm doing well now and don't want to have anything to do with them anymore."

"That's okay too."

Jiang Mianmian felt that these words were very similar, but she and the Jiang family were not only sold out, but also had a blood feud from their past lives. Fortunately, everything was over, the Jiang family was all dead, and she would soon be able to avenge herself.

After leaving Taoyuan, she went straight to the second mine.

Perhaps having heard rumors, the mine manager had evacuated everyone early on, and waited for her at the mine entrance himself, his attitude extremely respectful. All the mining tools were intact, but even the miners had all left.

Jiang Mianmian was too nice to him, so she had no reason to be mean to him, which cost her tens of thousands of merit points!

After seeing the mine manager off, she went inside and stored all the mined ore and other collectibles in the warehouse. She then selected two team leaders from the Gujing Iron Mine and instructed them to recruit miners and expedite the mining process before starting her return journey.

When she arrived at **Fu Village, she saw a group of villagers gathered at the foot of the mountain from afar.

She found a slope, drove the car up it, and looked through her binoculars. She discovered that what was surrounded in the middle were two people of different heights and a flock of sheep!

There were more than thirty of them, and although they were all skinny, they were alive!

If you put them all in Peach Blossom Spring, they'll grow plump and tender in no time!

They were quite far apart, so it was hard to hear what the two sides were saying, but it looked like the people from Pingfu Village were closing in. The two tall men had red faces and were holding sickles, preventing them from getting close.

It's like they're trying to forcibly take the sheep? Tsk tsk, how despicable! I guess I have to put on my helpful nature and try taking the sheep to Peach Blossom Spring for now.

Jiang Mianmian got out of the car and tried to gather the sheep in one go, but found it was still too far.

After taking a few more steps, I simply lay down on the grass, raised my head as high as possible, and then held my breath and tried again.

At this moment, the two tall men, surrounded by the villagers, felt as if the heavens were about to forsake them.

The short man gripped his sickle tightly and roared, "These sheep belong to my family! Why should you just take them as you please?"

"Bah! These are clearly the sheep of that rich man Zuo! His whole family was burned to death, so of course the sheep should belong to the whole village!"

"That's right! You stole the sheep, which means you stole the entire village's food supply! You must return the sheep today!"

The tall man pulled the short man behind him. "What's the point of talking to them? They're just a bunch of bandits! And a bunch of cowardly bandits who bully the weak! Back then, the Zuo family was so domineering, did they dare say anything? But now that the Zuo family is dead, they've become arrogant and are searching for us all over the mountains. At first, they said they wanted to take us back to the village, but when they heard we didn't want to confiscate the sheep, they just tore off the mask and started robbing us!"

He glared at them fiercely, "I'm telling you, even if I slaughter and burn all these sheep today, I won't let you get a single bite!"

"Yes! Burn it all to the ground, then nobody will have a good time!"

The short man was so angry his hands trembled. He pulled a tinderbox from his pocket and yelled, "Come on! Come on! Let's die together!"

The villagers quickly took a few steps back, shouting, "Fatty Guo! Are you crazy?!"

"You...you...you weren't the one who burned down the Zuo family's house, were you?"

Guo Pang, acting like a madman, shouted, "Hahaha, you guessed right! He killed my whole family, and I killed his whole family. What's wrong with that? Anyway, I can't do anything right, so let's all just die together!"

He looked at the tall man and said, "Zhao Baifu, let's be brothers again in our next life!"

"Fatty Guo!"

Seeing that he had lit the tinder and was about to throw it on the ground, Zhao Baifu was filled with grief and indignation and cried out in a shrill voice.

The scorching sun of the past few days has dried up the damp mud, and the wild grass that was already dead from being soaked has been dried into mummies. If this little spark is ignited, it will surely spread like wildfire!

Knowing he was doomed, he rushed over and grabbed one villager, pulled another, and tripped one, yelling, "Nobody's getting away! We'll all die together!"
