105 Signing Contracts With The Villagers
Little Ah Yu brought the pancakes to look for Qin Huai and deliberately emphasized that this pancake was fresh and that Ah Yu had never bitten it before.
Qin Huai originally would not eat these things, but now, he ate calmly.
Eating a few more types of food before death could be considered a special achievement.
Qin Huai thought as he nibbled on the pancake.
“Big Brother Ah You, are you still practicing martial arts today?” Little Ah Yu already knew that Qin Huai wanted to practice martial arts.
Her small hands waved twice, and she bent her legs and squatted down with a grunting sound.
It was a perfect imitation of Qin Huai.
Looking at her indecent appearance, Qin Huai turned his face away and pretended not to see her.
How could he be so ugly?
Chi Jia clapped his hands. “Ah Yu, you’re learning well.”
Little Ah Yu puffed out her chest proudly. “Ah Yu is also very strong!”
Qin Huai: “…” The pancake in his hand suddenly no longer smelled good.
Third Aunt Hu rushed back and saw Ah Yu in the courtyard. She hurriedly asked her, “Ah Yu, is your Grandma at home?”
Little Ah Yu: “Yes.”
“Quick, quick, quick, what are you waiting for? Hurry up, all the land is almost gone!” Third Aunt Hu turned around and urged. Hu San made a sound in his throat as he hurriedly walked out.
The two of them were originally helping to bake the bricks. When they heard that the Wang Family had become rich and had a lot of land, everyone swarmed towards the Wang Family. Third Aunt Hu and the others could not sit still and immediately followed them over.
“Lichun, don’t follow me. Go play with Ah Yu.” Third Aunt Hu turned her head and shouted at a little girl.
The little girl was only eight or nine years old. She was wearing patched clothes and her eyes were timid.
Hearing this, she felt even more embarrassed.
“This useless thing!” Third Aunt Hu didn’t like her appearance and shouted at her other granddaughter, “Bian Dan, go.”
The granddaughter called Bian Dan was already 10 years old. When she heard her Grandma’s words, she immediately handed the thing in her hand to her sister and slowly walked towards Ah Yu.
“Little Sister Ah Yu, what do you want to play? I’ll play with you.”
Third Aunt Hu had three sons and two daughters.
Her daughters had long gotten married, and her youngest son was away all year round. Only her eldest son and second son were by her side.
She also has three grandsons, two granddaughters, and one more in her second daughter-in-law’s stomach.
Seeing that someone was accompanying Ah Yu, Third Aunt Hu hurriedly walked towards the Wang family.
Along the way, Hu San asked, “Didn’t you say that you don’t like to let the kids at home play with Ah Yu? Why did you let them accompany her again? Wouldn’t others accuse you for malicious flattery?!”
“Flattery my foot! Look at the descendants you left behind. They’re all crooked. How dare I let them play with Ah Yu! Ah Yu is our Hu Family Village’s blessed child. What if those brats accompany her and bring her down? Donkey Zhang will fight me to the death!”
At the thought of Old Madam Wang’s combat strength, Third Aunt Hu felt pain all over her body.
That donkey was extremely stubborn.
“Then what now?”
“Now, it’s apparent that Ah Yu’s luck is really good. There are so many children in the village who brought her around, but the Wang Family still rose to prominence. What does this mean? It means that no matter how unlucky a person is, she can still bring them along. I won’t expect much from you idiots anymore. Just dabbing some of her good fortune will already be a blessing!”
At the end of the day, Third Aunt Hu did not believe in the words that the Wang Family had suddenly become rich. Even if it was true, it was definitely luck brought by Ah Yu.
In the past years, the Wang Family had only become poorer and poorer. It was said that their family still owed a huge debt. Although they did not see any creditors coming to their door, the Wang Family did not save much.
Now that they had picked up Ah Yu, not only did she not make them lose money, but she also made them rich.
If she didn’t hurry up and get some blessings from her, what was she waiting for?
Hu San: “…”
So she just wanted to benefit from her good fortune.
It was him who was too narrow-minded.
When Third Aunt Hu arrived at Old man Wang’s house, a large group of villagers had already arrived. Their goal was to rent Old man Wang’s fields.
Everyone was very tactful and did not ask how the Wang Family got rich.
Old man Wang’s family wanted to leave 20 mu of land for themselves to grow. They originally had 15 mu of second-rate fields themselves, but now, they could let the villagers use them.
In other words, they had a total of 25 mu of land to distribute.
Everyone in the village wanted to use this bit of land, especially the fertile fields.
Third Aunt Hu naturally wanted it too, but she had just angered Donkey Zhang two days ago. She didn’t know if she was willing.
Everyone was afraid that the Wang Family would talk about friendship. The villagers had all more or less helped the Wang Family before.
However, this help was also divided into big and small favors.
Old Madam Wang said, “We’re all neighbors. We see each other often. Our Wang Family is just lucky. In the future, everyone’s lives will become better and better.”
Seeing that everyone was anxious for the results, Old Madam Wang said directly, “I won’t pick who we’ll rent the land to. When Widow Zhou came earlier, she had already taken two mu of land. There are only 23 mu left. You can draw lots.”
Everyone was speechless.
They could actually do that.
In the end, everyone really came to draw lots. The materials used were the bamboo pieces that Old man Wang usually knitted. They were placed in a basket. Whoever drew the short lots would obtain half a mu of land. If they drew the long ones, they would obtain a mu of land. If they drew the medium-lengthed ones, they would obtain nothing.
Each family could only draw once. There were a total of 50 to 60 families who came, and all the land was soon distributed.
Under Old Madam Wang’s cold gaze, Third Aunt Hu was lucky to obtain an acre of land, and it was even fertile land.
As usual, Old Madam Wang let them choose whether they wanted to split 30-70 or 50-50. Basically, everyone chose 50-50.
Third Aunt Hu chose the 30-70 split. With her understanding of Donkey Zhang, she would never give a random option for no reason.
The Wang Family would not offend the villagers, so the 30-70 split should be the hidden better option.
When the work of writing the contracts was handed over to Wang Chuangui, everyone realized that the second son of the Wang family, who had been paralyzed for five to six years, actually knew how to write.
In the past, they had never seen him write.
Wang Chuangui’s leg had just been broken and he was in great pain, but Old Madam Wang did not pity him at all.
He could only endure the pain and turn his body to write one contract after another.
The villagers looked at the documents for a long time and whispered, “This looks similar to stuff that the chickens crap out at the village entrance.”
“No wonder this second son of the Wang family never said that he could write. Compared to Old Master Hu’s words, his is much uglier.”
“Keep your voice down. Don’t let others hear you. It’ll hurt people’s hearts.”
Wang Chuangui: “…”
If you take two more steps away and don’t say it beside my bed, I won’t hear you. Thank you.
After distributing the land, Old Madam Wang said something that everyone was curious about but did not dare to ask. “I know what you’re all curious about. We didn’t steal or rob this money. We exchanged for it with mountain goods.”
Then, Old Madam Wang told them about the truffles and reminded everyone, “These are just things that the children accidentally found. Doctor Hu should also know. You can ask where it’s easier to find them.”
When everyone heard this, they felt that the Wang Family was really kind. If others knew about this, they would probably hide it for the rest of their lives.
At most, they would move out of this village after earning money. It would be better to make a fortune silently.
“Can we get your Ah Yu to accompany us?” Third Aunt Hu could not help but ask.
The respond she received was Old Madam Wang’s murderous gaze. “Jiang Dahuan, come over. I’ll tell you if you can.”
Third Aunt Hu did not wait for Old Madam Wang to continue and fled.
“Husband, you sign the contract. I remember that we haven’t fed the pigs at home yet!”
Hu San: “…”
Of course not, because they hadn’t bought any yet.
