Xiao Ming quietly told Xiao Han about making money and asked him to look out for suitable land and shops in the town.
After so many things, Xiao Han was very calm about the sudden addition of so much money to his family. He had already settled the account. Nearly 500 jars of fruit wine, almost 6,700 taels of silver income, but he did not think of the money. It will come so quickly.
It's a pity that he was late when he went to the village chief's house to buy land. The wasteland had been secretly bought a few days ago, and no news came out.
When Xiao Ming found out, she just said it was a pity. That piece of land was almost more than 200 acres, which was larger than the land they bought. If they bought it, it could be connected with her current land.
In the blink of an eye, more than a month has passed since Xiao Ming's moving party, and the shock it brought to the villagers has just passed.
After several women in the village finished their housework, they chatted and did some handwork under the big locust tree in the village as usual.
The third grandma looked up at the scorching sun and said anxiously: "It's only the beginning of June, and it's getting hotter day by day. If God doesn't rain, it will be difficult to harvest this year."
"That's right. From the beginning of spring to now, it has only drizzled a few times. The rain is so pitiful that it can't even water the ground." The eldest Wang said and sighed.
"If this continues, we will have to carry water from the river to water the fields." When it came to carrying water from the river, she was a little worried. It really came to the point of carrying water from the river. These eight villages in ten miles share a river, and their village still has It's easy to say that it's close to the river and convenient, but villages without rivers outside will also come to carry water for their crops. If they carry it, there will be less water in their village. There will definitely be constant disputes. In previous years, several villages often came to carry water for a little water. Fight.
"Otherwise, what else can we do? This year has been good. We have made a few taels of silver from the Xiao family's house repairs, which is much better than in previous years." Mrs. Wang nodded and said excitedly as if she remembered something important: "You guys still I don’t know, the rest of the wasteland in Qiaodong has been sold. "This is still a formality that his old man helped with, but his old man told her not to talk nonsense, and she kept covering it up, but Today the land buyer came again and was preparing to build a house.
"Who bought it? Is it the Xiao family?" Ms. Li asked hurriedly, looking a little confused.
"No, it's an out-of-towner. He used to be a manager in a wealthy family. Now he wants to go back to his hometown for retirement, but there is no one in their family anymore, so they came to us. They said that our Liujia Village has good feng shui and can raise their children." people."
"It's not like Feng Shui is good. Within three years of Xiao Ming moving here, he made a fortune. Not only did he build a big house, but he also bought a large piece of land." Mrs. Li was indescribably envious. Today, they are the Xiao family. Unreachable.
"And at the moving banquet, even the lords and ladies from the town came, and the county magistrate's wife sent people. The good feng shui of our Liujia Village was taken over by their family. "In the past, beasts were rampant in Qiaodong, and they often He went down the mountain to hurt people and destroy crops, so he didn't dare to live in the house at all. Unexpectedly, the Xiao family had not heard of encountering wild animals for two years.
"Ouch, whose vinegar jar has been overturned? There's a sour smell." Wang joked, pretending to fan it with his hand, as if to get rid of the unpleasant sour smell.
"You're not jealous, are you? If you're jealous, just move here." Ever since the Wang family learned about Li's thoughts, the two of them didn't like each other when they met, and they would often quarrel if they didn't agree with each other.
"You dare say you're not jealous." Mrs. Li said angrily. Now that the Xiao family has become rich, isn't she also rushing to curry favor with Xiao Ming?
"Stop arguing, my ears hurt." Grandma San frowned. Now that the Xiao family is having a better time, who is not fawning over his family?
Xiao Ming is also a good person, and often gives things to several families with whom she has good relations in the village. She is also kind and does not offend anyone. She still has fruits from Xiao Ming at home.
"Yesterday, the Xia family came again, and asked our head to help find someone to repair the house. The salary is 20 cents a day. If any of you want to go, please come and sign up." Wang interrupted the topic and mentioned the new family again. people.
"Really, then I'll sign up a few of my family members." The third grandma said happily, and quickly signed up a few sons and grandsons at home. She has a large family, and Xiao Ming's family earned dozens of dollars from repairing their house last time. two.
"My family also signed up. If you still need someone to cook, I will help with the cooking." Wang continued.
Several people present, including Mr. Li, signed up. The wages for building a house are high, which is much more cost-effective than finding temporary workers in the town or city.
"By the way, what's the surname of the new arrival? How many people are there?" Wang asked. It's been a long time and I still don't know what the surname is.
Mrs. Wang thought for a while and said, "It seems that the surname is Xia. I just don't know how many people there are." She heard this from her old man.
Everyone was calculating how much money they could make this time, and suddenly they saw Liu Daya running over in a panic.
"Da Ya, where are you going?" Wang hurriedly pulled her.
"Baogen is ill. I'll go ask Aunt Xiao."
"Baogen is sick again. Go and ask Miss Xiao to come. And be careful with your brother, don't let your mother-in-law get beaten." said Wang anxiously.
Wang's words reminded Liu Daya of the experience when she and her brother were beaten because of Liu Baogen's illness a few months ago, and she couldn't stop trembling all over. Because of the village chief's warning, even though Mrs. Liu scolded them every day as losers, They didn't give them food, but they didn't beat them again.
"Let's go take a look quickly." The third grandma said and went to Mrs. Liu's house.
Liu Baogen's illness was the same as last time. He was foaming at the mouth, convulsing all over his body, his face was blue, and he was unconscious. He looked really pitiful.
Poor people must be hateful. Mrs. Liu would rather believe the doctor in the town than take the medicine Xiao Ming bought and let Liu Baogen get sick again.
Mrs. Liu was very angry after waiting for Xiao Ming for a long time. Last time, she spent twenty taels of silver in the town because she didn't believe in Xiao Ming's medical skills. The doctor guaranteed that his medicine was very powerful. It is said that Xiao Ming is a child with a yellow mouth who prescribes medicine indiscriminately, saying that taking his medicine will make her feel better.
Now that Liu Baogen was ill again, she cursed the doctors in front of her for talking nonsense a thousand times in her heart.
The villagers who were watching were talking a lot and pointing at Mrs. Liu’s house.
"How is Baogen? Hurry up and put a chopstick in his mouth, don't bite his tongue." The third grandma remembered what Xiao Ming once said and asked Wang Xiaohua to get a chopstick out quickly.
"What's the use of biting chopsticks? Why doesn't this damn girl come?" Mrs. Liu said anxiously. She didn't stop her, but was worried that Xiao Ming wouldn't come.
"Coming, coming." I don't know who shouted, and from a distance I saw Xiao Ming carrying a medicine box and Liu Daya walking from the field.
"You damn girl, it takes so long to treat someone. Why are you so worried about letting Baogen die?" Mrs. Liu let out a sigh of relief. She looked at Liu Daya and slapped her hard.
"It's all your damn parents. They don't want to die well, and they want to harm my treasure root. If there is no treasure root, I will let you two lose money and be buried with them." Mrs. Liu said cruelly, and wanted to hit people again to vent her anger, but she Was stopped by Xiao Ming.
