General, the lady escaped again

Ji Xiaomu's acquisition of land in the village caused an uproar in the village. She had just been divorced by her husband's family and was penniless. How come it hasn't been long since then and she has money to buy land?

Under the big tree in the village, people who were resting in the shade gathered around Uncle Li and asked curiously, "Uncle Li, what is Little Ji doing now? How come she suddenly has so much money?"

"Where does she get all the money?"

"Was she...being... murdered by the young master of that restaurant?"

"How long has she been on leave? She's buying land and building a house..."

“Is selling brown sugar cakes really that profitable?”

People asked all kinds of questions. Uncle Li glanced at those poor and jealous faces indifferently. Seeing that Ji Xiaowu had gone from a divorced and penniless woman to someone who had bought land and built a new house in the village, these people were surprised and jealous at the same time.

But thinking of what Ji Xiaou said, Uncle Li looked at those weathered faces, sighed in his heart, and understood Ji Xiaou's intention.

"Cough!" Uncle Li gave a dry cough. Everyone immediately shut their mouths, waiting for Uncle Li's explanation, staring at him curiously.

"The girl bought these lands and planned to rent them out to those families in the village who are in financial difficulty..." Grandpa Li said slowly.

Everyone couldn't help but gasp, what kind of good man is this?

"Why did she do this?" someone couldn't help but ask. Although they were very surprised, they also knew that there would never be such a good thing in the world.

"The girl said that she wanted to make all of us rich and encourage everyone to make money. This is the first step. We must first ensure that the poor people in the village have a livelihood and hope." Uncle Li replied, "As for where her money came from, you know about her house. She sold the blueprint to Wang Qiang and got some money."

"When she was down and out, it was people in our village who helped her. This girl is grateful, so she came up with this idea to help those poor people and give back to the village." Uncle Li's words made everyone blush. They were just slandering Ji Xiaomu in their hearts, but she was actually thinking about the village.

"Then...what are the conditions?" After holding it in for a long time, he couldn't help but ask. His family was indeed poor, and everyone in the village knew it.

"There are no conditions. Anyone who is poor in the village can rent her land. The girl thought of two ways. One is to rent her land and pay rent every year. After paying the rent and taxes, the rest is hers. The other is to rent someone to farm the land for her and pay her monthly wages, but the crops she grows belong to her."

"The monthly stipend is one or two taels of silver." Uncle Li's last sentence caused an uproar in the audience.

"Really one tael of silver? Monthly wage?" One tael a month, that's twelve taels a year. People like them can't earn that much money in a year, right?

"Yes, but the prerequisite is that you must listen to the girl and sign a contract." Uncle Li said.

"I'll do it! I'll do whatever you ask me to do!" one person immediately shouted, fearing that Uncle Li would not hire him.

It was like a switch was turned on, and everyone started to respond. "I, I, I, I'll do it."

"I can! I can!"

"Okay, stop shouting. Those of you who want to do it, follow me to the village chief to sign a contract." Uncle Li waved his hand, signaling everyone not to shout and just follow him to the village chief to sign the contract.

The group hurriedly followed Uncle Li to the village chief's house. The village chief was shocked, but only came to his senses after hearing Uncle Li's words and took out the contract that he had prepared long ago.
