General, the lady escaped again

As early as when Ji Xiaou bought the land, the village chief had already received Ji Xiaou's approval and knew her plan.

The village chief must have been touched by Ji Xiaowu. This girl was grateful and repaid a drop of kindness with a spring of gratitude. This made his old bones tear up. God knows how much he wants to change the village. Seeing that they are poor, he can only help them temporarily, not forever...

"Be quiet first and listen to me!" The village chief's authority is still very strong in the villagers' hearts. It is much more effective than Uncle Li's shouting. Everyone immediately quieted down and looked at the village chief eagerly.

"Whether it is signing people or signing land, you must remember that this is what Ji Xiaou did for you. People should be grateful. Don't let me hear anyone talking nonsense or using dirty words to slander Ji Xiaou again. Our village cannot tolerate such heartless people!" The village chief's words were heavy, and everyone nodded heavily.

"Don't worry, village chief! If it really happens, Ji Xiaou will be the benefactor of my family. Whoever dares to say anything against her, I, Liu Cuihua, will be the first one to not let him go!" Liu Cuihua stood in the crowd and spoke loudly. She was a widow with four children. She had been struggling to make ends meet with the meager income from the few pieces of land at home, and had worked hard to bring up her four children.

If Ji Xiaomu really gave her one or two taels of silver, she would be Liu Cuihua's benefactor, and she would never go west if she was asked to go east, and would do anything.

"That's right, village chief." There were many families in the village who were living in financial difficulty, and they all gave their support and were willing to sign people.

They don't have much land or even no land at all, and they don't have regular meals, so eating becomes a problem. They can only find hard labor to make a living.

The people from the village who worked in the town only earned a few dozen coins a month, and at most a few taels a year. This time, little old woman Ji suddenly offered a monthly salary of one tael, and they suddenly had hope, but the prerequisite was that they must successfully sign a contract with her.

"Old Li, if I sign the contract with the people and the land, I really just work for her, or rent her land, and I really have to pay 30% of the crops grown?" You have to know that big landlords have to pay at least 50% when renting land. Is her 30% true?

"You don't trust my daughter, so you don't trust me either?" Uncle Li looked at the visitor and replied. "She originally just wanted to sign the people, and I suggested that she sign the land."

"Okay, okay..." The visitor nodded immediately, "I want to sign the land."

"I want to sign someone."

“I want to sign someone, too.”

"I signed the land."

Uncle Li is well-known in the village. His status is second only to the village chief. He always keeps his word and is fair without being too partial. People generally believe what he says.

Ji Xiaou spent all the money she had on hand and acquired a lot of good land, becoming a landlord in the village in one fell swoop. She also helped everyone and, with the help of the village chief, she invited many poor families to farm the land, and her reputation soared.

Everyone in the village was thinking of the good things about Ji Xiaou, except the Liu family, who gnashed their teeth and looked grim after hearing the news.

Liu's mother is almost unwilling to go out now. Once she goes out, she hears all kinds of things about Ji Xiaou. All the people say good things about her. She feels uncomfortable listening to them. It was she who made the decision to divorce Ji Xiaou. Everyone says behind her back that she is blind and that she deserves it. She divorced such a good daughter-in-law like Ji Xiaou and married a younger girl, who she still has to serve.

Liu's mother is like this, not to mention Wu Mengniang. Xiao Cui now doesn't even dare to serve her closely. She would rather go out to sweep the pigpen than get close to Wu Mengniang, for fear that she would take her anger out on her if she is not satisfied.
