Soon the village became lively. As soon as Village Chief Jin and others arrived at the entrance of the village, they saw that everyone in the village was very happy. It was also very strange. They almost lost their money last night. Why are everyone so happy today? Could it be? Because those thieves were sent to the government to be sentenced to death, but he hadn't had time to tell them yet, and it was impossible for the villagers to know.
"Uncle Village Chief, you are back."
A group of villagers were sitting at the head of the village discussing what Su Yu had said about opening a pig farm. When he saw the village chief and others coming back, Jin Duocai quickly called the village chief.
"Uncle Village Chief, don't you know? Just this morning, Miss Su proposed that our village open a pig farm, and she would raise as many pigs as she wants. Everyone in our village thinks this is feasible, uncle, what do you think? How is this going?"
Upon hearing this, Village Chief Jin quickly found an empty space to sit down.
"Tell me carefully, what's going on with opening a pig farm?"
No one in Jinjia Village cares whether the five thieves are alive or dead now. That boy Jin Daqiang is just an ignorant white-eyed wolf. When he was in his early ten years, his parents went there to have a meal at this house in the village. After eating a meal, he left the village when he was fifteen or sixteen years old. From then on, no one saw him again. They thought he was dead, but I didn't expect that he actually brought people to steal the village and wanted to take over the entire village. Everyone had it stolen. I really looked down on him before.
Here Jin Duocai told what he knew, and the people around him added one sentence and another. Soon the village chief understood what it was like to open a pig farm and felt that he could do it.
After hearing this, the village chief didn't even return home. He came to Su's house with his hands behind his back. Su Yu was writing the pig farm plan in the yard. She likes to have a plan when doing things, rather than hammering here and there.
When she heard the footsteps, she looked up and saw the village chief standing in front of her, and she was suddenly startled.
"Village Chief, why are you walking silently?"
The village chief also felt a little embarrassed.
"It's not that I don't want to disturb you because you are busy. What is Miss Su busy with?"
Su Yu could be regarded as his grandchild according to his age, but Village Chief Jin did not dare to drag him down at all. The girl Su in front of him looked like she was doing big things, so the village chief always called Su Yu Miss Su.
"I'm writing a plan for a pig farm. Would the village chief want to take a look at it?"
"Then let me see."
Su Yu handed the newly written plan to Village Chief Jin. Village Chief Jin was not polite and sat on a stool next to him to read it. The first thing I saw was the design drawing of the pig house. Although Village Chief Jin did not raise pigs, he could see that the pig house should be built like this, making it much more convenient for people to feed it, and he was very satisfied. He is even more satisfied with what is written below. At such an old age, he never knew that raising a pig has so many advantages.
"What does the village chief think?"
"Okay, it's really good, but I don't know how much money the family will have to pay?"
"It depends on how many people in the village want to support him. If he doesn't want to, we won't force him. But if we count the 40 households in the village now, each family will have to pay about 20 taels of silver."
"I'm going to call the villagers together for a discussion."
After Village Chief Jin finished speaking, he left in a hurry. His pace was not like that of an old man who was almost sixty years old.
Su Yu shook her head and was minding her own business. In fact, she dared to propose a partnership to set up a pig farm. The most important thing was that ancient pigs had few diseases, such as swine fever. Otherwise, she would not dare to do this. .
Although Village Chief Jin is the village chief, there are fewer and fewer people in Jinjia Village, and now there are only forty households left. He has nothing to do in the village and is not motivated to do anything. But this time the pig farm is different. It can be said that it is the first major event since he took office as the village chief. If this matter is done well, Jinjia Village will definitely reach a higher level, so Village Chief Jin is full of energy.
He went home and got the gong, and regardless of his old wife calling him behind him, he walked to the entrance of the village and struck the gong. All the people in the village gathered at the entrance of the village.
"Village chief, what's going on?"
Many villagers knew clearly why the village chief called the villagers to the entrance of the village, but some people who didn't know what was going on were still confused.
"The main reason I called you here today is to tell you about the pig farm that is going to be set up in the village. Although it is run by the village, if there is any family that doesn't want to give money, it can be done. But when the pigs raised in the future are sold for money, then It has nothing to do with his family.”
"How much does that family have to pay?"
Niu couldn't help but ask. She didn't want to worry about anything else. She just wanted to ask how much money she had to pay now and how many pigs she had to raise to make back her money.
"A family will first come out with twenty taels of silver. Those who want to join the family can come to me and pay the money."
The village chief didn't say anything, because he was afraid that if the money was not enough in the future, the villagers would have objections.
There are only forty households in Jinjia Village, and the total number of households, including the Su family from outside, is forty-one. The village chief can remember these households, and there is no need to write them down on a separate paper if they have paid or not.
"Village Chief, I didn't bring so much money with me when I went out. I'll go home and get it right now."
"Village chief, please wait, I'll go back and get it too."
Many people hurriedly walked home. Niu looked around and hurried back to her home.
Now, in Jinjia Village, not only the stone sellers are rich, but also the family that sold all their land to Su Yu before has dozens of taels of silver on hand, and any family can get 20 taels of silver.
Old Man Jin is the only one in his family. He sold most of the land in his family to Su Yu, leaving only two acres of land for himself. Now the two acres of land have become one and a half acres. He is one person. After eating enough, the whole family is not hungry, and the money on him is not of much use, so I just want to save some money to take care of my affairs if I go there in the future. However, seeing how lively the village is now, Old Man Jin also wants to join in the fun and go home. I brought twenty taels of silver over.
Each of the forty households in the village took out 20 taels, adding up to a total of 800 taels. Village Chief Jin took the silver and went to the Su family's house, handing all the 800 taels to Su Yu.
"Miss Su, I have never done this before, and no one else in the village can do it either. It's up to you to make the decision. This eight hundred taels of silver is just for you. You can spend it as you please."
When the village chief saw Su Yu buying the land, he knew that the little girl had no shortage of money and didn't care about the three melons and two dates from the villagers. He was relieved to have the money in Su Yu's hands.
"Since the village chief trusts me so much, I will let the money go to me first. However, I will write down how much money I spent on the pig farm every month and post it on the big tree at the entrance of the village at the end of the month. Everyone in the village can see it. You can also come and ask me if you have any questions.”
When the village chief heard what Su Yu said, he felt even more relieved. He looked in the yard and saw Erhu.
"Miss Su, where did Erhu go?"
"It has gone to the mountains and wild areas early, and will not come back until dark."
"When I went out this morning, I asked my family to cook a big pot of bones. I wanted to take it to my house to eat. But it doesn't matter if you're not here. I'll send it over later and leave it for Erhu to eat when he comes back in the evening."
Su Yu had a headache thinking about the two big pelvic bones in the kitchen. Erhu had accidentally become the favorite of the village.
