There was a rustle in the peach trees.
After an unknown amount of time, the tree stopped.
Wu Runyuan lay on Zhang Dachuan's chest, thinking about everything just now, and suddenly asked softly:
"Dachuan, do you think that I am a wanton woman?"
Zhang Dachuan chuckled and said:
"Sister, I don't blame you for this. It's all because you just ate green dates."
Under Wu Runyuan's puzzled eyes, Zhang Dachuan explained:
"These green dates have the same special effects as Xiushan peaches: the peaches moisten the lungs and relieve coughs, while the green dates nourish yin and yang. At the same time, they can also stimulate love and desire."
Wu Runyuan suddenly realized it and said in surprise:
"So that's it. No wonder I couldn't control myself just now. This is amazing!"
Zhang Dachuan nodded and said:
"Now, you should believe what I say. It's not difficult for me to cultivate those peaches that Ma Hongdou regards as treasures!"
After Wu Runyuan heard this, he still said unhappily:
"But even so, the benefits should not be taken by people like Ma Hongdou."
Zhang Dachuan sneered:
"Ma Hongdou wants to take advantage of me, but I think he wants to eat shit! The so-called treasure land depends on whose hands it is. In my hands, it is a treasure land, but in the hands of others, it is a wasteland!"
"Sister, just wait and see the good show. When the time comes, I guarantee that Ma Hongdou will be left hungry!"
"But you have to keep this matter a secret for me. If it is exposed, all the hard work will be wasted."
Wu Run's round and moist eyes looked at him charmingly, and she giggled:
"Of course it's okay to keep it secret, but I have a condition."
Zhang Dachuan asked hurriedly:
"What conditions?"
The pretty widow bit her lower lip, and the blush that had just faded climbed onto her cheeks again.
She turned over on Zhang Dachuan and whispered in his ear:
"I ate too many green dates..."
…
Early the next morning, the barbed wire fence ordered by Zhang Dachuan arrived on time.
After Zhang Dachuan paid the money, he looked at the huge bundle of barbed wire, thought for a moment, and then went to Zhou Qingyu's house adjacent to his house.
In the Zhou family yard, Zhu Yuegui was washing clothes. When he saw Zhang Dachuan coming in, he hurriedly asked:
"Dachuan, is something wrong?"
Zhang Dachuan nodded:
"Aunt Yuegui, is my uncle at home?"
Zhu Yuegui smiled brightly, pointed to the tool room next to her and said:
"He's making furniture inside. If you need anything, just tell me."
Sister Zhou Qingyu’s father, Zhou Heng, used to be a carpenter, but since he was injured on a construction site and paralyzed his lower body, he has become half a disabled person. Now he can only make small furniture at home to support his family.
Zhang Dachuan knew that Zhou Heng did not want to see outsiders, so he nodded and explained his purpose to Zhu Yuegui:
"Aunt Yuegui, I'm here to ask you to do some work for me... My grandma's peach orchard is in my hands. I bought some barbed wire and want to surround the peach orchard. Do you think you are free? "
"I'll pay you two hundred yuan a day."
When Zhu Yuegui heard this, he said angrily:
"Whatever you kid said, just help me, I won't take your money!"
Zhang Dachuan shook his head and said:
"Auntie, if you don't accept the money, then I will ask someone else to help. Then I will still have to spend money. After all the trouble, I might as well let you earn the money."
After hearing this, Zhu Yuegui could only agree. While overjoyed, she said to Zhang Dachuan embarrassedly:
"Dachuan, speaking of aunt, I have to thank you... I heard Xiaoyu talk about work. If it weren't for you, where would she find such a good job? I can't even take your money for this!"
Zhang Dachuan shook his head and said with a smile:
"It's just a small matter, Auntie, you don't have to be polite to me."
Zhu Yuegui let out a long sigh and said to Zhang Dachuan with some guilt:
"Oh, Dachuan, after all, our family owes you too much. Aoxue has had her own ideas since she was a child. The marriage between the two of you..."
Zhang Dachuan said hurriedly:
"Auntie, you don't have to take that marriage seriously. In this age, arranged marriages don't work."
When Zhu Yuegui heard this, he couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.
Although she thinks Zhang Dachuan is a good kid, kind and capable, but compared with her daughter Zhou Aoxue, he is still a little behind.
Her family finally gave birth to a proud daughter of heaven. As parents, they naturally did not want her to marry a country man and live her whole life in this poor valley.
Zhu Yuegui felt a little guilty and said to Zhang Dachuan:
"I feel relieved if you think so. We have been neighbors for so many years, and Auntie knows that you are a good boy... If you need any help in the future, just come to Auntie."
Zhang Dachuan agreed.
Zhu Yuegui's help alone was not enough, so Zhang Dachuan went to the village to find Zhao Yumin and his wife for help.
Both of them are kind-hearted, down-to-earth and hardworking people.
When the village chief came to exchange land before, the couple kindly reminded him.
When Zhang Dachuan was still a fool, Zhao Yumin had helped him many times. Now that he was rich, of course he had to reciprocate the favor.
When he arrived at Zhao Yumin's house, he was very happy when he heard that he would be given two hundred yuan a day, and he agreed without hesitation.
Afterwards, the four of them came to the orchard and started getting busy.
Zhang Dachuan was responsible for hitting the stone pillars at a certain distance, while others were responsible for straightening the barbed wire and then tying it with the stone pillars.
Just when the four of them were busy in full swing, Wu Wankui also arrived at the entrance of Xiushan Village.
Ma Hongdou and his son, who had been waiting eagerly at the entrance of the village for a long time, led his gang of thugs and immediately greeted them enthusiastically:
"Welcome Mr. Wu to visit Xiushan Village for inspection!"
Wu Wankui looked at the welcoming scene with satisfaction and nodded slightly to Ma Hongdou:
"Village Chief Ma, I'm busy with official duties, so I won't bother you at your house. Let's go directly to see Taoyuan."
Ma Hongdou hurriedly agreed and took Wu Wankui to the peach orchard on the mountainside.
Because he was worried that Zhang Dachuan would send Roaring Dog to cause trouble again, Ma Hongdou was also sending Ma Fei to build a barbed wire fence in Taoyuan at this time.
