As soon as he left, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and left one after another.

No one noticed that the ripples in the center of the lake were constantly fainting, and the wind was blowing the lotus leaves on the surface of the lake to make a subtle sound.

Taoyuan Village.

Xi Yan's eyes widened, and she had an expression of disbelief, "That's a lot of money!" ”

Qiao Xuan shook the silver ticket in front of her eyes, and said with a smile: "The money for road construction is enough, right?" ”

Xi Yan nodded dumbly, "Enough, enough." ”

Qiao Xuan generously took out one and handed it to Xi Yan, Xi Yan waved her hand and refused, "No need!" I didn't do anything, I can't take your money for nothing. ”

"You cleaned up the house so neatly and tidyly, and cooked for everyone, a lot of credit, take it! You deserve it" Qiao Xuan stuffed the silver ticket into Xi Yan's hand and said with a tough attitude.

Xi Yan's heart is warm, adversity sees the truth, she only knew Qiao Xuan before as her brother's fiancée, her sister-in-law, and now she really discovered Qiao Xuan's various strengths.

Qiao Xuan poured a glass of water on the wooden chair and drank it, and Xi Yan sat down beside her.

"These silver tickets are—"

"The county lord loves the people like a son, and he was afraid that the cost of building the road would not be enough, so he rewarded some more" Qiao Xuan's throat warmed up after drinking water, and said with a smile.

Xi Yan was a little worried, "There won't be any problems, right?" ”

She once followed her father and mother to the county, and met the carriage of the county lord on the street, the battle was very large, and a bunch of entourages were like stars holding the moon.

"There will be problems, but it's not us who have problems, it's the dog officer" Qiao Xuan's fingers curled up on the low table and knocked unconsciously.

Xi Yan was puzzled, but Qiao Xuan didn't plan to say more, everyone would know when the time came.

"Where did my brother go?" After a while, Xi Yan remembered to ask her brother.

"He still has some things to attend to in the town, so I'll come back first" Qiao Xuan yawned, "I'll go sleep for a while, and when he comes back, you call me." ”

The afternoon slipped away quietly, and after getting the money and people, Qiao Xuan slept very well without worrying about it.

At ten o'clock in the evening, a quarrel woke her from her sleep.

"I disagree!" Xi Yan glared at Xi He with red eyes, "He caused us to lose our home, why do you want us to bring the body back when he dies?" ”

Qiao Xuan just woke up and sat on the bed in a daze.

The room is not soundproofed xi yan's voice came clearly into her ears, at first she thought it was the restless people from Taoyuan Village who came to make trouble, but after careful listening, she found that it was not.

She can't get involved in the affairs between the two siblings at this time, so she can only hold back in the room and pretend not to hear.

"Xiaoyan, I know your feelings, I hate the uncle as much as you do, but you also know that the uncle has no family, his body is placed in Yizhuang, and we can only contact us to take him away."

Xi He helplessly explained that when he was about to come back after running errands today, someone informed him that the body of his uncle who had run away with the money had been found.

Now the body is in Yizhuang, and Yizhuang has someone to bring him a message and ask him to take the body away within three days.

"I won't let you go!" Xi Yan hated the people who harmed their family, and refused to let go at all.

Qiao Xuan sighed for a while, there was not even a person to collect the body after his death, it was really a sloppy ending, but I have to say that some people deserve it.

"Xiaoyan, don't make trouble! The most I could do was to bring the body back and bury it in a random place on the mountain, just because he and my father were brothers. ”

Xi He can only do this to the maximum, he can't do it anymore.

"Bang!" With a bang, Xi Yan rushed into her room and closed the door.

In the courtyard, Xi He sat lonely on a low stool, holding his chin with one hand and not knowing what he was thinking.

Qiao Xuan probed and saw him in the courtyard, hesitated for a moment and walked out, "Have you got in touch with the people from Heding Mountain?" ”

"It's connected, they'll make people stare at the county government recently," Xi He turned his face sideways and looked up at Qiao Xuan slightly.

Qiao Xuan, who had just woken up, had a little messy long hair, the broken hair on his forehead was upturned, and his eyes were clear and moist.

"That's good!" Qiao Xuan showed a satisfied expression, she touched her stomach and walked to the kitchen.

The next day, someone was waiting in front of Qiao Xuan's courtyard early.

Li Yue stood at the front and said to Qiao Xuan with a smile: "Village Chief, everyone is ready!" ”

Seeing those hired from the town, their faces from the village faintly revealed a sense of superiority.

Qiao Xuan pointed to the low table next to him, "Come and sign in!" ”

said that they were signing in, but most of them were illiterate, so they could only ask Xi He to write their names on their behalf.

There are a total of 54 people in the village, and only 10 families come from the huge Taoyuan Village.

After Qiao Xuan put the list away, he raised his voice and said, "When everyone is here, then we will go!" "The Xi family brother and sister have other things to do, so they can't help her.

The team marched through the village, attracting the attention of some villagers in Taoyuan Village, but in their eyes, the person who followed Qiao Xuangan was a fool.

They felt that Qiao Xuan paid such a high salary because it was easy to have accidents on that road, and no one was willing to take risks, so they hired people at a high price.

"If you have a life to earn money, you have to have a life to spend it! Wait and see, something will happen sooner or later," said the woman under the big tree at the entrance of the village with a sneer.

"That's it! Qiao Xuan also bluffed those uninformed fools, they thought that the money was easy to earn" The others echoed.

"Those few people in our village are simply poor and crazy, and they are fooling around."

"Anyway, our family won't go, hahaha, I haven't lived enough."

……

Qiao Xuan walked over with someone, and there was a muttering sound behind him.

"Why did this tree and this grass dry like this? Was it set on fire? After walking to the road to be repaired, someone asked curiously.

The few villagers in Taoyuan Village mixed in the team and didn't say anything, but they couldn't help but glance towards Qiao Xuan in front of them.

Qiao Xuan led everyone to the middle part of the road and stopped, waving his hand to signal everyone to be quiet.

"We had fifty-four men in all, in two groups and twenty-seven men, and we started from the middle of the road.

A group of people repair one side, you divide it yourself, which group of people finish first and finally pay ten more cents per person when the salary is paid. ”

Hearing Qiao Xuan say that there may be additional rewards in the end, everyone is full of energy, full of strength, and can't wait to start immediately.

"When you are repairing, try not to take a detour, some small trees should be cut down, the river should be flat, and the length of this road should be shortened as much as possible."

"Make sure to satisfy Village Chief Qiao!" Someone shouted.

Qiao Xuan nodded, the first time he was a contractor, he was still a little excited.
