In the year of disaster in the book, the villain girl is the real winner

The next morning, He Qiudi went to the village entrance to find Yan Shi.

She said that the He family wanted to buy a house, and asked someone to go to the city to find an intermediary broker to introduce them during the banquet. She mainly wanted to buy the small house and shop that the He family had sold, as well as the courtyard that He Huaizhang was currently renting.

When he heard He Qiudi say that he wanted to buy back the He family's grocery store and small house in the city, as well as the courtyard where He Huaizhang currently lived, he knew that things were not that simple.

But he still arranged for Yang Er to go back to the city and ask the broker to come to Shiliu Village.

He Qiudi strolled around the village entrance and returned to the He family.

Old Mrs. He was already directing He Huaiping, He Huaian, He Huaibi, and He Huaijin to spread out the harvested wheat and millet and dry them in the front and back yards.

Wei and Mrs. Lin were preparing breakfast in the kitchen.

Xu took He Qingya to pick vegetables in the vegetable garden.

He Sanlang and the other younger ones were not there. I guess Grandma He thought that they were young and growing and needed to have a good rest, so she didn't let them get up so early.

When Old Mrs. He saw He Qiudi coming back from outside, she was stunned for a moment, but finally she managed a little smile.

"Nannan, are you going out for a walk together?"

He Qiudi nodded slightly: "Yes. I went to the village entrance to take a look. The water level in the reservoir has risen a little after a night of recovery."

She went to the entrance of the village and released a small amount of water.

During the banquet, he and his men camped not far from the pond. If too much water was released at once, it would arouse their suspicion.

During the period of suppressing bandits, they should make more trips every day.

Old Mrs. He looked towards the direction of the village entrance and smiled with relief.

"That would be great if that were the case."

There should be a harvest this year.

I bought another five mu of good farmland and fifteen mu of dry land from the Li family, plus the original twenty mu of good farmland and thirty mu of dry land at home, a total of seventy mu of land, and I will definitely be able to save a lot of money and food this year.

"Qiu Niang." At this time, Wei came out of the kitchen and said to her with a smile, "You are back. Go wash your hands and wait for breakfast. Mrs. Lin and I made your favorite omelettes."

He Qiudi smiled gently: "Then thank you, sister-in-law."

After breakfast, Grandpa He led He Huaiping, He Huaian, Jin and Dalang to work in the fields.

Old Mrs. He stayed at home to take charge.

He Qiudi took He Sanlang and prepared to go for a walk in the mountains.

Yesterday she released water into the mountains, and there must be a lot of mushrooms growing on the hillside where the water was released. She wanted to take advantage of the time when the villagers were busy sowing and had no time to go into the mountains to pick more mushrooms and sell them to Yanshi to "exchange" for corn from Yanshi.

Seeing He Qiudi was about to go out, Wei had to stop her: "Qiuniang. Don't rush out. I have something to tell you."

Old Lady He called He Qingya over and said, "Er Ya, take San Ya and San Lang with you to help your mother wash clothes."

Although Xu didn't have to do heavy work in the fields, she still had to do housework at home.

He Qingya walked to He Qiudi and took He Sanlang and He Qinglu away.

He Huaijin and He Huaibi stayed.

He Qingshu and He Erlang were both in the room and did not come out.

After the younger generation had left, Old Lady He came straight to the point and said, "Wei, you want Huaibi and Qiudi's money to help your eldest son find a future. I have relayed this to you, but Qiudi has her own plans and did not agree. You can talk to her yourself."

Wei knew.

Even Old Lady He failed to convince He Qiudi, so it would be difficult for me to persuade He Qiudi.

But she had to take the risk.

This concerns the future fate of the eldest wife, so she has to fight for it.

Wei had no choice but to bite the bullet and said, "Qiu Niang, this is what happened. Your elder brother has been a teacher for seven or eight years and has always wanted to be promoted, but his family has no money, so even if there is a vacancy, it will not be your elder brother's turn."

Hearing this, He Qiudi thought that this Wei was quite good at PUA.

He Huaizhang couldn't become a county magistrate, is it because the He family didn't have the money to donate one to him?

"Now the positions of county magistrates of Lan County and Wei County are vacant. I want to borrow the reward money from you and your sixth uncle, as well as the Dongzhu and gold hairpin given to you by Lord Yan, to help him get the position of county magistrate. Once he becomes the county magistrate, your eldest brother will be considered a real official, and our He family will be considered a real official family."

County magistrate.

It is indeed the entry point to becoming an official.

Once they get started and can achieve results, countless wealth and glory will be waiting for the He family.

This is a very tempting carrot.

He Huaiping and He Huaian just wanted to take advantage of the situation, so they tolerated He Huaizhang's demands.

Wei said these words after racking his brains and speaking from the bottom of his heart.

She had already rejected Old Lady He yesterday, so Wei pulled He Huaijin and He Huaibi to testify and asked for the loan. She was very arrogant and was determined to get the Dongzhu and gold hairpin in her hands.

Seeing that He Qiudi didn't say anything, Wei swore, "If Qiuniang is worried that I will take the things and not admit it, I can swear here that I will repay you with gratitude. Mother and my fifth and sixth uncles are my witnesses. If I break my promise in the future, I will be punished by heaven."

In ancient times, such an oath was very solemn.

They believe in ghosts and gods.

When I swore, I really meant it.

He Qiudi knew that Wei was forced into a desperate situation and swore sincerely, using the oath to gain his trust.

But once He Huaizhang really becomes the county magistrate, Wei is afraid that he will still break his oath.

Before He Huaizhang became the instructor, he might have made such an oath to Old Lady He.

But He Huaizhang's word "poor" was enough to soften Old Lady He's heart and no longer let He Huaizhang fulfill his old promise.

He Qiudi asked with a smile: "Sister-in-law, can you take my place and make the decision for me?"

Wei was stunned.

He Qiudi added: "You asked for so much money from the family to help your elder brother get the position of county magistrate, but you didn't even tell your elder brother? Then when you are at home, no matter how big or small the matter is, it is your elder sister-in-law who makes the decisions?"

Old Mrs. He's expression suddenly changed.

In the past, Huaizhang said he had no money.

Did he really have no money, or did Wei tell him that his family had no money?

If Wei told Huaizhang that the family had no money, then where did Wei save the two hundred taels from?

Wei explained quickly, "My husband is the one who makes the decisions on all matters at home. I am just a woman, how can I make decisions for him? But I know the money this time is not trivial, and I am afraid that my husband will be embarrassed to talk about it. My husband has been a little teacher and is in a bad mood. I just want to do this well and give him a surprise."

Old Mrs. He's expression eased a little.

Seeing that Old Lady He's face looked better, Wei laughed dryly and said, "If Qiu Niang feels that my words are not strong enough, then I will ask Mrs. Lin to go back to the city and call my husband back to borrow money, gold hairpins and Dongzhu from you and Uncle Liu in person? Even if it means writing a receipt, I can do it."

He Huaizhang has not returned these days to avoid suspicion.

He had already told Wei what he meant.

Wei's words are his words.

He Huaizhang is really hypocritical. He wants to use the money from the He family and his younger brothers and sisters to buy himself an official position, but he doesn't want to bow to his younger brothers and sisters, and doesn't want to owe her and He Huaibi, so as not to be unable to hold his head up in front of them in the future.

Old Mrs. He was reluctant to let He Huaizhang come back and bow to his younger brothers and sisters.

She finally relented.

"Nannan, your elder brother is your elder brother after all. He has become very successful. I guarantee that he will never forget your kindness. It seems inhumane to write a written agreement, so let's forget it."
