Mrs. Bai was the first to be unhappy. She threw the dustpan in her hand to the ground, splashing a cloud of dust. She put her hands on her waist and shouted angrily, "When did you hear that the girl from the Song family needed dates? I never heard of it. She is only three inches tall and has yellow hair. Why does she need so many dates? At least the dates can be kept at home to satisfy your mouth. If you give them to her, how many copper coins can she give you? Don't be fooled. You will be beaten to a pulp and never come back."

Her voice was loud and sharp, as if it could shake the entire ancestral hall to pieces. Her eyes were wide open, full of disdain and contempt.

Everyone else was frightened by Mrs. Bai's madness, and the ancestral hall suddenly became quiet.

Mrs. Bai continued to shout proudly: "Look at her attitude towards her grandmother, you will know that she is a cruel person. She is so cruel to her own family, let alone you. I advise you to be more careful. What else can she not do!"

This sentence reached the ears of every villager, as sharp as a needle tip, piercing straight into people's hearts, and some villagers nodded in agreement.

The Song family's old house was completely destroyed and in a mess.

Song Youcai reunited with his father Song Jiawu in the county government office. Old Mrs. Song and Chen Cuihua are still lying in bed unconscious, with several women taking turns to take care of them. Yesterday, the village chief sent someone to the county to notify Song Jiawen, the eldest son of the Song family, and his family to return, but now there has been no reply and no sign of him.

Alas, what a pitiful family!

Tian Danniu stood up, her face full of anger, pointing at Mrs. Bai and cursing, "You old hag who confuses right and wrong, you are talking nonsense. Everyone in the village knows how the Song family treated the third branch. Do you need to defend them here? Their family has fallen to this point because they are not human beings. Even God can't bear it. How could a healthy person suddenly fall down? Tell me, is this reasonable?"

Her words were like beans pouring out of a bamboo tube, making many villagers lower their heads and dare not look directly at Tian Danu. They all knew in their hearts that Tian Danu was telling the truth. Everyone knew that the old Song family was mean and unfair to the third house. And now, Song Jiawu and Song Youcai were arrested and taken to the county government, and Old Lady Song and Chen Cuihua suddenly fell down. All this seemed to be God's punishment for the sins of the old Song family.

Mrs. Bai was so frightened by Tian Danniu's aura that she was speechless for a moment. Her lips trembled slightly, and a trace of panic flashed in her eyes.

"You...don't talk nonsense!" Mrs. Bai tried to refute, but her voice sounded so weak.

"I'm talking nonsense?" Tian Daniu sneered, "Then tell me, how did the Song family treat the third branch? Who in the village doesn't know? Do you think you can hide it from everyone?"

Aunt Wang pouted at Mrs. Bai and said, "Yes, you can do it. Keep making it up!"

The villagers have sharp eyes. No matter how you argue, it will be in vain!

Mrs. Bai fell silent again. She didn't know how to argue, so she could only lower her head silently, hoping to avoid the anger of Tian Danniu and Aunt Wang.

The village chief stood on the stage and saw the scene clearly. He waited until the matter was settled. Then he struck the gong, cleared his throat and shouted: "Everyone, please be quiet. Please be quiet. For the matter of the dates, everyone is willing. For the matter of cultivating mushrooms, everyone is willing."

There was a hint of helplessness in his voice. He had thought that the villagers would strongly agree to this great thing, but he never imagined that these people combined had eight hundred minds. If he tried to persuade them one by one, they might point at his nose and scold him for being old and confused, and for planning something bad to deceive them.

Why would he do something disgusting?

"I understand your concerns. So, I hope everyone can participate voluntarily. If someone doesn't want to participate, I won't force them. After all, it's everyone's own choice."

The villagers in the audience began to whisper. Some still didn't believe it, thinking that such a pie-in-the-sky thing would never happen to them, some seemed eager to try, and some stood aside waiting to see what others decided...

At this time, a man squeezed in from the back and said, "Village chief, including me, You Eryong, what is there to hesitate about? The girl from the Song family has already said that we will give you dates in one hand and money in the other, and the mushrooms, did you spend a penny? If you don't do such a good thing, I will!"

The men who had gone to Song Jixiang's house to build the wall also squeezed through the crowd and agreed, "Yes, isn't it just signing a contract? I'll do it!"

"Me, and me..."

"Count me in too..."

Song Jixiang asked them to embed the broken porcelain pieces on the wall, which made them earn a lot of money. They haven't thanked the girl properly yet. Now this girl wants to lead their entire village to become rich. They would be stupid not to follow her!

Aunt Wang's family was naturally willing too. Only a fool would be unwilling to agree to such a good thing.

Finally, the village chief struck the gong and shouted loudly: "Villagers who are willing to participate, come here to sign the contract. I'm going to make it clear that the technology of cultivating mushrooms is the secret of our village and must not be spread outside. This is a major event related to whether our entire village can live a good life. Every household must keep their mouths shut. If anyone leaks it, I will not only drive his entire family out of the village, but also make him pay a large sum of money as compensation. Think about it carefully, I won't force you!"

The village chief's words stopped many people in their tracks.

Mrs. Bai had long planned to teach her married daughter the technique of cultivating mushrooms, and there were many people who shared the same idea as her.

This is how to do?
