During the famine, a sack of grain was traded for a little girl. Everyone thought the family had lost their minds.
But ever since they adopted little Qingtian, it was as if their lives had be...
Because the land allocated to the Ye family by the village chief was relatively large, even though the three main rooms plus the porch were almost as wide as the five rooms of other people's houses, the five courtyards side by side still did not appear crowded.
Ye Dongkui worked with Boss Ye, pulling the line to determine the position while nailing wooden nails in the ground and tying the rope to it.
The two of them quickly determined the locations of all the rooms in the five courtyards.
After Ye Dongkui hammered the last wooden nail, he stood up and looked at all the rooms that had been confirmed, with an envious look on his face.
I don’t know how much it will cost to build so many brick houses at once.
I don’t dare to think about it myself.
"Uncle Dongkui, thank you so much. I'm sorry to bother you since your hand is injured."
"Well, why are you saying that? It's not like you won't pay me."
Ye Dongkui said this, found a place to sit down and rest, and filled himself a pack of cigarettes.
While smoking, he chatted with Boss Ye about where to buy various materials and what the current prices were.
After hearing what he said, Boss Ye knew that he had found the right person.
"Uncle Dongkui, I'm leaving the construction of my house to you. Please don't do it by yourself and don't tire yourself out.
"All you have to do is keep an eye on it for me. If there's any work you need done, just ask my second son and Qing Gang next door to do it."
"Don't worry, I'll be eager to work for you!"
Although Ye Dongkui said this, Boss Ye was still afraid that he would not accept his age, so he thought that he should give more instructions to Ye Laoer and Ye Qinggang, asking them to help him keep an eye on the old man.
After the two of them rested for a while at the foot of the mountain, Ye Lao Da was just about to ask Ye Dong Kui to go home with him for dinner when Ye Lao Er came running over breathlessly and said, "Uncle Dong Kui, big brother, hurry to the grain drying ground! The village chief said something's going on and asked the whole village to go there!"
Ye Dongkui and Ye Lao Da looked at each other and thought it must be about Wang Po.
Sure enough, when the three people arrived at the threshing ground, most of the other villagers were there, and Wang Po and Wang Rongfa's family were standing opposite the villagers.
Only after seeing Ye Dongkui and Ye Lao Da arrive did Wang Guangping step forward and tell the villagers what had happened the night before.
The villagers were immediately in an uproar.
"No wonder the Ye family's crops are growing so well, it turns out they stole the Spring Ox Horn!"
"His sunny luck is really good!"
"Wang Po actually dared to think this way, isn't she afraid of being blamed by the heavens?"
"They have a guardian deity, maybe it can resolve the problem!"
"She's not stupid. She doesn't dig it herself, but instead drags others into it."
Mrs. Wang has been talking nonsense all her life, and not all the villagers believe her, so at this moment there is a lot of noise and people are saying all kinds of things.
In the end, it was Wang Guangping's loud shout that made everyone quiet down again.
“The reason I called everyone here is because I felt I couldn’t start something like this.
"Today, seeing that someone's fields were well planted, I went to dig up the spring ox horns that they had buried.
"Then if you see other people's crops growing well tomorrow, will you still destroy their crops?
"This incident happened today at Ye Qingchen's home, but who can guarantee that it won't happen to their own family in the future?"
As Wang Guangping spoke, he also pointed to several people in the village and said, "Qingyuan, your family's peanut crops are better than others every year.
"Yiping, your family's corn harvest has been the best in the village for several years in a row, right?
"And Qinggang, I remember your family's rice yield per mu was the highest in the village last year, right? I personally reported your family's yield per mu to the county government.
"Everyone has their own strengths. Who knows which cloud will bring rain? Who knows whose family will get it this year?
"If you run into someone like that who's jealous of others, and they do something bad to you in the middle of the night, you won't even have a place to cry!"
With just a few words, Wang Guangping successfully angered everyone in the village.
When this kind of thing happens to someone else's family, most people tend to just watch.
But when everyone thought about what would happen to them, they couldn't remain calm anymore.
"If anyone dares to tamper with my land, I'll kill him!"
"That's right. No one can predict the future of crops. Who knows whose crops will do better this year?
"If people get jealous and take action just because someone's family is better-looking, the whole village will be in chaos!"
Suddenly, someone in the crowd said angrily, "Po Wang is always doing this kind of trickery. She must have seen Ye Qingchen's family burying spring ox horns at the beginning of spring, and now that she sees their crops growing well, she's started to do something bad.
"It was she who insisted that my daughter-in-law's pregnancy was not going well and that if the baby wasn't aborted, it would bring disaster to the family.
"As a result, my silly daughter-in-law, impulsively went to the pharmacy in the city to buy abortion pills without consulting her family, resulting in two deaths!
"People like this should be kicked out of the village. We can't let her continue to harm others."
After someone took the lead, someone else came forward to continue accusing Wang Pozi.
As Wang Guangping listened to the villagers' complaints, he became more determined to drive Wang Po out of the village.
He had thought about this after his son ran away from home, but at that time most people in the village supported Wang Po, and he had no evidence to prove what Wang Po had instilled in his son.
But over the past few years, his hatred for Wang Po has only increased.
Wang Guangping had not expected that he had only wanted to use the Chunniujiao incident to give Wang Po a good scolding in public, but it would cause such a big reaction among the villagers.
