, after all, as the saying goes..."He didn't say the last word, but the old woman understood. 。She didn't understand how the winds of change worked in the imperial court, but she had also heard from p...Zhang San's daughter-in-law's face flushed red and white, red and white, with shame and anger, she retorted.
"The guy inside is too careful, there aren't that many bad people around here! I was just being kind and helping out, how did it turn into doing something bad!"
"Hmph!" Li Zheng let out a cold snort, refusing to reason with her. He simply stated his point plainly.
I won't waste your time talking. Just remember, our village is about to follow the new village in raising pigs and chickens, and the money will be flowing in like water.
"At this moment, if you dare to cause trouble in the village and endanger everyone's livelihood, I will drive your entire family out!"
At this moment, seeing the commotion and women coming over to watch the show, hearing this, they became anxious and chimed in one after another.
"Third Sister-in-law, come back quickly, please don't let a hairpin ruin everyone."
"That's right, we made some money! How many hairpins could that buy"
"There are many influential people in Xincun, it's best not to bring outsiders there!"
"If we bump into someone important, we're all going to be in trouble."
Some people pushed the peddler and urged him away in a hurry.
"Little brother, you can't harm us, please leave quickly."
"Yes, yes, we can't help you. You should go look somewhere else."
Zhang San's daughter-in-law was also scared. She took off the hairpin from her head and shoved it into the peddler's arms.
"Little brother, just pretend your sister-in-law didn't say anything, hurry and go. There are many people in the city, you try, you'll definitely be able to sell it."
The peddler's face twisted into a wry smile, as if deeply disappointed.
Actually, the fists clenched inside the sleeves were so tight that I wanted to beat these stupid fools to death...
Seeing the peddler leave, and the women dispersing at the shopkeeper's call, something felt amiss.
Although their village was close to the city, outsiders rarely visited.
These days, for some reason, the other day a woman who took a wrong turn said something about villagers recognizing relatives in the new village. She asked about things in the new village for quite a while before finally saying she had gotten it mixed up.
Another peddler popped up today, wanting to sell goods in the new village...
He hesitated for a moment, then lifted his foot and walked towards the new village.
Whether it's useful or not, just tell Wu lao ge. In case someone plots against the new village, it'll be a great achievement!
Even if nothing is wrong, talking too much doesn't make sense.
At this moment, over at Xin Cun, the village head and a few elders like Zhao Shu are gathered around the pigpen, where they've just caught a litter of little piglets, grinning with delight.
Although the big white pig in the sty was a good father, contributing countless children to the village.
But its offspring, when they grow up to be pigs, also need to find a like-minded partner to eat, sleep, and reproduce with. They live their lives eating and sleeping, passing on their legacy and contributing their "strength" to the villagers' dinner plates!
So, every year the pigsty welcomes some new members who have traveled far.
Uncle Zhao threw a handful of cabbage and laughed, "These piglets will be fed with cooked food from now on. They'll probably grow to over 100 kilograms by the Chinese New Year!"
The village head knocked on the pipe pot and laughed, a deep chuckle.
"Certainly! The county princess is currently brainstorming feed recipes. She had the household fleet transport a lot of fish meal back from the south."
"These little piglets, the ones ready to eat soon are going to be better than humans, they'll definitely grow plump and fast!"
Just as the conversation was getting lively, Xiao Wang arrived at the scene.
Seeing the ceremony, the village head invited everyone to a three-room hut on one side for tea.
This small house was for raising pigs and provided lodging for villagers who kept watch at night. It was very clean.
Xiao Wang was in the little village, sipping water and moistening his throat before he started telling what had just happened.
Finally, he was afraid that the villagers would think he was making a fuss over nothing, so he quickly explained.
Maybe I'm overthinking it, but lately I feel like there are a lot more outsiders in and out of the village. There have been unfamiliar faces coming and going for several days, but I don't want to stop them and question them.
"Only this kind, the ones who want to visit our new village, can I stop."
The village head listened, his eyes narrowing. He took two puffs from his pipe and then spoke to Zheng Dao, a resident of Xiao Wang Zhuang, expressing his thanks.
"Old brother, thank you so much for making this trip today. As you said, it doesn't matter if it's overthinking, it's a good thing that everyone gets along and communicates often.
"
"Now that we're making more and more money at Suijin Beach, life is getting better. It's inevitable that some people with ill intentions will want to learn from us and steal our way of making a living."
"Not to mention anything else, just our pig sty and chicken coop. If we build them, in half a year, we can raise pigs weighing 200 kilograms each, and even in winter, we can still sell eggs. But it's much more profitable than farming!"
"Oh!" Little Wang's courtyard suddenly dawned. "I said, why have there been so many outsiders lately It turns out they are all coming for our pigsty and chicken coop!"
"These damn things, we haven't even started making money yet and they're already after us."
The village chief nodded and continued to deceive.
"That's right, there are always people in this world who don't want to work hard and just covet what others have. After you go back, don't tell the villagers too much, lest they end up doing more harm than good."
But you'll definitely have to work hard. Spend more time walking around the village and its surroundings. If you encounter suspicious people, don't act rashly; be careful not to get hurt.
Just send someone to tell our village, we have many veterans in our village, so we won't be at a disadvantage against bad people.
Xiao Wangzhuang was listening with a warm heart and quickly replied, "Big brother, rest assured, I will definitely take this matter to heart."
The village head patted him on the shoulder and gave him another round of praise.
“Old brother, you always handle things carefully. I'm most at ease with you around. With your help and care, I sleep much more soundly.”
After some idle chatter, it was time for Xiao Wang to bid farewell.
The village head persuaded him to stay a while longer, then ordered the villagers to gather a basket of preserved fruit from the cellar and another basket of eggs.
Finally, Xiao Wang was sent back happily from the village by Zheng Gao.
Having seen that Xiao Wang's house was now empty, the village head immediately rushed to Li's house.
It so happened that Li Zhensheng and Li Laoer were returning from the city together, and they ran into the village head at the gate. They quickly invited him into the house.
Jia Yin was playing games with Xing Xing and Yue Ya. Seeing this, she also asked Shui Ling to take the children down for a snack.
The village head knew the truth, after all, the safety of the whole village was in the old man's hands.
To prevent some people from taking advantage, Li Lao Er spoke at length with the village chief a few days ago.
At this moment, the village head blurted out: "Someone is planning to make a move against our family, and they've already sent people to scout us out!"
Li Zhensheng and Li Laoer both sat up straight, straightening their faces.
Li Lao'er feared that the old man was getting too excited and quickly soothed him.
"Take your time, sir. No matter how urgent things are, there's no need to rush."
The village head took a deep breath and slowly recounted the events.
Li Zhensheng and Li Lao'er exchanged glances, both nodding.
Li Laoer said, “Uncle is right, these people must be spies from the Wu family. I just don't know what they are trying to find out about our village and what they plan to do.”
Li Zhensheng couldn't figure it out either.
Jia Yin was completely bewildered, utterly distressed. She couldn't understand how she had gotten herself into this mess!
She said helplessly, “Are these people’s heads filled with water There are so many of us in our village. Even if they understand the situation, they dare to come and arrest me”
"This isn't the city, this is Suijin Beach, my territory, my domain!"
Li Lao'er laughed, just about to speak, but a flash of inspiration struck him, and he suddenly remembered a possibility!
Here are three more chapters ~~ndoff, Jia Yin realized she had to fight back. She red-eyed and started to sob dramatically, "No, other people's mothers are pretty too! My mother has to be pretty!"As expected, Li Laotai and Tao Hon...
