Mu Qiange didn't care what Liu Cuihua thought, as soon as she returned home, she got busy, fed the chickens and ducks at home, and cleaned up the house again, before she was satisfied.

When the rice is harvested and the taxes are paid, there is not much left, and the family still has to buy food.

Take advantage of this time, you can buy more and put it away, and when winter comes, it snows, and it is difficult to buy.

This buys food or something, all of them need money, and if you don't work hard to earn money, you really won't even have anything to eat.

After teaching Zhuangzi and Xiao Yang, Ah Jin, saw Mu Qiange sitting in front of the stove in a daze, and the water in the pot was already boiling.

"What is the girl thinking?" Ah Jin, who entered the kitchen and wanted to help Mu Qiange, asked out loud.

Coming back to his senses, Mu Qiange smiled faintly at Ah Jin who came in, and didn't tell him the truth, he stretched out his finger and pointed to the chickens and ducks in the chicken pen, "These chickens and poultry should be fed for half a month, and they can be sold in restaurants in the city." ”

These chickens and ducks may be because Mu Qiange is well fed, they grow very fast, they seem to be five or six pounds, and they will grow fat after feeding them for a while.

Mu Qiange glanced at the chickens and ducks crowded in a pile from a distance, squinted and laughed, and felt that he had seen a pile of money.

It's really in vain that she runs out every day to pull grass and come back to feed them, and all of them grow well.

"By the way, what are you doing in here? Have they finished writing in two big letters? ”

"I'm afraid you won't be able to do it alone, so come in and have a look." Ah Jin pulled Mu Qiange up, "I'll make a fire, you can cook quickly!" ”

Mu Qiange didn't be polite to him, he handed over the work of making a fire to Ah Jin, and he got busy, Da Yang came to help her harvest rice, so this meal should be made good, and he should be entertained well.

Ah Jin threw a piece of firewood into the stove, and then smiled lightly: "You can rest assured, the two of them have finished their homework, and they will go home." ”

Although Ah Jin was arrogant and cold, but he saw his heart for the children, Mu Qiange hummed with satisfaction, and quickly cleaned the meat and various vegetables.

Li Zhuangzi's two short-term workers and Da Yang are very capable, and they harvested the rice in her family's two acres of land in one day, and paid off the straw in it before transporting it back.

Mu Qiange was very satisfied with this, and in addition to giving them wages, he also left them for dinner.

After dinner, except for Da Yang and Li Zhuangzi, the two of them were grateful to Dade for taking the salary and went home, and both of them walked on the road and sighed at Mu Qiange's kindness.

After the rice is harvested, the people in the village are idle, and it is common practice for men to go out to do some short-term work to earn a little money and come back for the New Year, while women stay at home to watch their children.

However, somehow the news that Mu Qiange made a lot of money by buying bear paws was known to the villagers, and the men in the village came to Mu Qiange's house to ask where they went to hunt, and they also wanted to try it.

On this day, Mu Qiange looked at Ah Jin, who was drinking porridge with his head down, and asked indifferently, "The news of your last hunting came out, and it was said that I was so rich in exchange for the prey you hunted." ”

Hearing this, Ah Jin's eyes instantly turned cold, "It's impossible, no one else knows about that hunting trip, and even if we buy money, it doesn't matter to others." ”

Mu Qiange disagreed with Ah Jin's statement, she was an outsider, and if the villagers were unwilling to accept her, she would really have no place to stay.

She thought about it for a while and made up her mind, "Now that they all know, if I say that my money is borrowed at this time, they may not believe it, and besides, it can't go on, so it's better to tell them that I have it." ”

Seeing that what Mu Qiange said made some sense, he nodded, looked at her, and sighed for a while before he said: "Girl, the mountain is really dangerous, if they are just hunting on the outskirts of the mountain, it is better to say, I am worried that the people's hearts are not enough to swallow the elephant, and if something happens then, they will not forgive you." ”

Hearing Ah Jin say this, Mu Qiange was not surprised, people's hearts have been like this since ancient times.

"Forget it, let's tell them, you can still have a good reputation then." Ah Jin knew that they were offending people by saying or not saying it now.

Mu Qiange looked up in amazement and looked at Ah Jin, "Then what if something happens in the future and they find me?" ”

Hearing this, a cunning look flashed in Ah Jin's eyes, "Then it won't just find you, isn't there still a big Yang?" ”

Mu Qiange glared at Ah Jin fiercely, "What does this have to do with Da Yang, he has helped my family a lot, I can't be so ungrateful." ”

"Why don't you go to the village and find someone of high moral standing to announce this, so that you don't have to be involved."

"Respected people...... Mu Qiange thought carefully about Ah Jin's words.

"There is only Village Chief Liu in this village, but he is Liu Cuihua's father, and I don't want to go to him." Mu Qiange made no secret of her dislike for Liu Cuihua's family.

Hearing this, the corners of Ah Jin's mouth hooked slightly, "Then I will give up my life to accompany the gentleman and accompany you on a trip." ”

This Ah Jin took the wrong medicine today, so for her sake, she once again confirmed that Ah Jin saw that he didn't seem to be lying, so she readily agreed, "Okay, let's go later!" "Now that it's decided, don't put it off any longer, or the villagers will poke me in the back.

Seeing that Ah Jin responded, Mu Qiange quickly packed up the dishes and chopsticks, and the two went out of the house and went to the village chief's house.

Of course, Village Chief Liu also heard the rumors in the village, but he didn't believe it very much, after all, Mu Qiange was a weak woman, and her cousin was also a weak scholar, so how could the two of them hunt?

So when he saw Mu Qiange and Ah Jin coming to him, he opened his mouth and said: "Those rumors in the village, you can just listen to them, don't take them to heart." ”

Mu Qiange thought that Village Chief Liu would embarrass her, after all, the last time she had a bad fight with his family during the rice harvest. didn't expect him to be so sensible, but it made Mu Qiange a little surprised.

Hearing this, Mu Qiange and Ah Jin nodded, and Ah Jin told Village Chief Liu about the process of hunting with Dayang.

"Uncle Liu, we're here to talk to you about this."

"That's the end of it! You don't have to worry about such rumors in the future. Village Chief Liu thought that Mu Qiange and Ah Jin came to him for the rumors in the village, but in his opinion, this was not a big deal, seeing that the two of them talked extraordinarily, why not sell their personal affection.

Mu Qiange found out that Village Chief Liu was really different from Liu Cuihua's mother and daughter this time, no wonder he had been standing in this village for so many years, and it seemed that he was still sensible.

Ah Jin shook hands with Village Chief Liu, "Uncle Liu, don't worry, I'll make it clear to you." "This Village Chief Liu should be a person worthy of entrusting him with big things, Ah Jin feels that he will not look away.

"Okay, then you can say it!" Village Chief Liu picked up the tea on the table and tasted it slowly.

Ah Jin told the process of hunting in the mountains with Da Yang, and how he got the bear's paw.

Da Yang makes a living from hunting, which is well known in the village, and he didn't think that the weak scholar in front of him would also hunt, but it made Village Chief Liu a little surprised.

If he knew that Ah Jin couldn't help but be talented, and his martial arts were even better, he would be even more shocked.

"You really went up the mountain with Dayang to hunt and cut down bear paws?"

Village Chief Liu looked Ah Jin up and down again, and still asked uncertainly.

He knew about going hunting in the mountains, and he knew the dangers, so he couldn't help but ask.

"Uncle Liu, we won't joke about this kind of thing." Ah Jin glanced at Mu Qiange, and said affirmatively again, "We came to tell you, we just want you to tell the people in the village about this, but one thing must be made clear, there is a lot of danger in the mountains, and people with little experience are better not to go, if you lose your life, don't blame us." ”

People are greedy, and if the people of the village chase their prey into the mountains, and something happens to them, and they put the sin on them, then they will be wronged, and they will say ugly things in front of them.

Village Chief Liu thought for a moment before nodding slowly.

"Don't worry, this is also for the good of the villagers, I will make it clear, and nothing will happen to you in the future."

The people in the village who rely on the sky for food are not having a good time, they are all tightening their belts to live, and many families have a hard time smelling meat all year round.

In the past, Da Yang went up the mountain to hunt and only caught some prey on the periphery of the mountain, he mostly bought animal skins, and he couldn't buy much money, and the people in the village didn't think about hunting when they saw that Da Yang was the same, but now they see that Mu Qiange even asks someone to collect rice, and she doesn't even pay attention to the carp soup sent by Liu Cuihua, which shows that Ah Jin can really make money by hunting in the mountains.

It's just that it's very dangerous there, and if you're not careful, it's possible, and there's no return.

Thinking of this, he became worried again.

"Ah Jin, do you think that if the people in this village go up to the mountains to hunt, they can solve the dilemma of deep winter?"

This Ah Jin is a talented person at first glance, and he understands more than him.

Ah Jin smiled bitterly and shook his head, "The mountain is really dangerous, I personally don't recommend everyone to go up the mountain to hunt, if you have to go, you must not go into the deep mountains." ”

Seeing that what Ah Jin said was very reasonable, Village Chief Liu also asked the confusion in his heart, "Ah Jin, do you really know how to hunt?" ”

He didn't believe that Mu Qiange, an outsider, could live a better life than them by luck, unless Ah Jin really made a lot of money hunting.

Hearing this, Ah Jin nodded affirmatively again, "Uncle Liu, don't forget, although I don't know much about hunting, but Da Yang is a master of hunting in the village, with him, there is no problem in catching prey." ”

After listening to Ah Jin's words, Village Chief Liu suddenly patted the back of his head, "Look at me, I'm really old, Da Yang is a master of hunting, and everyone in the village knows this." ”

Mu Qiange saw that Village Chief Liu was still a good person to get along with, so he interjected: "Uncle Liu, you think you shouldn't tell the people in the village about this." ”

Village Chief Liu shook his head, "The days when the village didn't go up the mountain to hunt have passed, and the mountain is dangerous, so forget it!" ”

Seeing the village chief say this, Mu Qiange's hanging heart gradually let go, and she was really worried that this village chief Liu would approve of the villagers going up the mountain to hunt.

"If the villagers ask about ......"

Seeing that Mu Qiange was still not at ease, Village Chief Liu assured the two: "Don't worry, I will inform the people in the village not to go up the mountain to hunt, if you don't listen to the persuasion and have to go, then you can't blame others for the accident." ”

Seeing this, the big stone in Mu Qiange's heart fell, she stood up and bowed deeply to Village Chief Liu, before pulling Ah Jin up to say goodbye to him.

When they left the door of the village chief's house, they saw Liu Cuihua's mother and daughter who came back from outside, and the two of them didn't have a good face when they saw Mu Qiange.

It's just that Liu Cuihua floated to see Ah Jin behind Mu Qiange, and she still stared at Ah Jin with a pair of squinting eyes.

"Brother Jin, why don't you come to my house to sit for more."

Ah Jinzheng didn't even look at Liu Cuihua, and took the lead in stepping out of the gate of the village chief's house, and Mu Qiange also sped up his pace to keep up when he saw this.

"Brother Ah Jin ignores me, it's all the fault of Mu Qiange, a slut."

Liu Cuihua behind them stomped her feet hatefully, with unprecedented viciousness in her eyes.
