"what!"

Liao screamed and felt a sudden pain on her head. She was completely unprepared and did not expect Huang Jinhua to tear her hair.

Huang Jinhua pulled out a clump of his hair and Shengsheng quickly covered his head with his hands, looking painful.

Gu Dong looked anxious and quickly pulled Huang Jinhua's hands away: "Aunt Huang, let go!"

Huang Jinhua was still not satisfied, so she slapped Liao's face twice more and cursed in a hoarse voice: "I'm telling you, you're taking advantage of your age, I've tolerated you for a long time, but I'm not like Dachun who gives in to you."

The Huang Jinshu brothers watched the two people fighting and quickly stopped the car. Huang Jinyin ran over and said, "Third sister, stop it!"

"Murder! This big fat pig killed someone!" Liao was still stubborn and howling like a ghost.

"Mother~"

Seeing that his mother was so harsh with her words, Gu Dong was afraid that Huang Jinhua would do it again, so he whispered to her to persuade her.

With a slap, Liao slapped Gu Dong in the face: "What's the point of giving birth to you? You can't even say a word when you see me being bullied."

Huang Jinhua shook her fist and said, "Liao, do you still want to get beaten?"

"Third sister, stop messing around!" Huang Jinshu also spoke.

Gao looked at Gu Dong being beaten and asked with a distressed look on her face, "Boss, are you okay?"

Liao was even more angry at this time, and she yelled at Gao: "How can you be a daughter-in-law like this? I got beaten up, and you didn't even ask about it. I taught my son a lesson, and you actually felt sorry for it."

"You deserve it!"

After saying this, Gao pulled Gu Dong into the house.

She had been patient for a long time and didn't want to endure it anymore. Now her mother-in-law had offended even the village chief and Shen Ping.

"Ha ha……"

Huang Jinhua smiled coldly: "Liao, you should accumulate some blessings for your descendants. Even your son and daughter-in-law despise you. Be careful that no one will take care of you when you are old."

"you!"

Listening to Huang Jinhua's words, Liao was so angry that she was shaking all over. Her son was also dragged away by his daughter-in-law. Normally, her daughter-in-law didn't dare to be so rude to her, but today she didn't give her any face at all.

"We're leaving, so don't cause any trouble!" Huang Jinshu reminded.

"Don't worry!" Huang Jinhua smiled contemptuously: "With your sister's physique, who dares to touch me?"

As he said this, he shook his fist at Liao again, and the onlookers giggled.

"You big fat pig, I won't bother with you!"

Liao saw that her son and daughter-in-law had gone home, and that outsiders were waiting to laugh at her, so she said this and quickly ran away from the house.

The crowds of onlookers dispersed when they saw that there was nothing interesting to watch.

Huang Jinhua beat Liao up and finally got rid of the anger in her heart. Like a rooster that had won a battle, she walked back to the workshop with her head held high and humming a little tune.

After this incident, no one dared to collect tolls anymore, considering that since the workshop was opened, there were more horse-drawn carriages and ox-drawn carts passing through the village.

In particular, the chili workshop was opened, which not only purchased chili, but also cassava and other products, and now rice is also purchased. The number of loaded ox carts has increased.

The village road was originally a dirt road, and it rained some time ago. With the passage of these heavily loaded ox carts, the road became even more bumpy.

To get rich, you must first build roads. Shen Ping understands this truth.

In fact, what Liao said was not wrong. With so many ox carts carrying heavy loads going back and forth, the road would indeed deteriorate quickly.

For now, the road outside can be left alone, but the road inside the village must be repaired. This decision has been agreed by everyone.

"I think what mom said is right!" Dachun nodded repeatedly: "But it would be better if the road to the county town was repaired as well."

The mountain road was not very flat and was very bumpy. My butt was sore from the bumps. I went back and forth twice a day and was scared every time I got on the carriage, but there was nothing I could do.

Of course Shen Ping knew this, but she had no choice. The road to Heyang County was more than ten miles long, and it would cost a lot of money to repair it completely.

If there is no funding from the court, it would be unrealistic for an individual to do this.

It would take a lot of money from the money he had on hand just to purchase the rice. He didn't know whether the imperial court would be willing to spend money to buy it in the future. It all depended on what happened with Xu Mingchang.

So now the money in her hand can only be used to purchase rice and stockpile it first.

Shen Ping shared this idea with the village chief, who strongly agreed. The road in the village should have been repaired long ago.

Shen Ping meant that not only should the road be repaired, but it should also be expanded so that two cars can meet each other. It cannot be as small as before, without even a place for two cars to meet.

As the business of the workshop improved, more cars came in and out, and making the road wider would benefit both others and ourselves. The village chief certainly understood what Shen Ping meant.

However, it is actually quite difficult to implement because there are rice fields on both sides of the road. If you want to expand the road, you must occupy the rice fields.

Seeing the village chief looking embarrassed, Shen Ping spoke up: "Village chief, what are your concerns about this matter? Tell me!"

Since Shen Ping asked, the village chief did not hide it: "Building the road is a good thing, and I agree with it, but if it is expanded, it may be difficult.

After all, the road is already so wide. If it really needs to be expanded, the villagers’ rice fields will have to be used. I’m afraid everyone will not agree.

Shen Ping had also thought about the issue that the village chief was considering a long time ago. She knew that if the villagers were asked to give up their land to expand the village road, everyone would definitely not agree.

But if we expropriate part of their rice fields and give them some money as compensation, then perhaps the villagers will agree.

It is the same as the land acquisition by developers in modern society. Besides, this is a road in the village, and if it is repaired, everyone will benefit.

Everyone's life will get better and better in the future, and you never know when you might buy a horse carriage or an ox cart.

Shen Ping thought for a moment and said to the village chief, "How about this, I will compensate them for the part of the field they need. Village chief, if we need to expand this village road, you will be responsible for gathering the people and we will discuss the plan with you tomorrow."

"Okay! Let's do it." The village chief nodded. Dachunniang said that she would use money to compensate, which was a good idea. If the price was reasonable, he believed that everyone would agree.

The next morning, 12 villagers gathered at the village chief's house. These were the villagers who needed to use each other's rice fields.

They didn't know why the village chief had called them here. They thought that every household had sent a representative, but after they arrived, they found that it was not the case.

"Why are there only a few families like us? Where are the other villagers?" Uncle Zhuzi looked around with a puzzled look on his face: "Why didn't so many people come? Hey~ Do you know what's going on?"

"I don't know!" The villagers looked at each other, they didn't know what was going on.
