Chapter 391 Ancient Village Old Lady 16
I don’t know who shouted “Good” in the crowd!
The villagers were already happy, and driven by this atmosphere, cheers rang out one after another.
The village head and the clan leader stood in the middle of the crowd, looking at the heartfelt joy of all the clan members and villagers, all with smiles and pride on their faces.
After listening to everyone making a fuss for a while, the village head raised his hand to suppress the noise.
"Okay, I know you're happy, now get back to work.
But please keep your voices down while you work, so as not to disturb the first batch of merchants returning from our village."
This caused another round of laughter from the villagers. Someone had already organized to bring out all the things used for wedding banquets in the village.
Each family brought out some dishes, and the clan leader also took out some money from the clan and sent people to buy wine and meat.
We plan to have a good meal together tonight to reward the caravan and make the whole village happy.
The distance of this business trip is very short. I just want to go out and explore the way to see if I can make money in this way.
Now that they have successful experience, when the caravan goes farther, they can purchase goods from other places at low prices, transport them to other cities and sell them at high prices.
This is the real profit of the caravan.
Otherwise, the goods from Liuhe Village would just be given to the caravan as a commission of profits, and the people in the caravan would not risk their lives to do this job.
From the moment Feng Erya proposed the idea of the caravan, she knew that things would develop in this way.
This is money earned by others at great risk and with great effort, and other people really can't say anything.
That evening, the whole village had a meal together.
On that day, there was no sound of parents beating their children or mothers-in-law scolding their daughters-in-law in the village. The whole village was immersed in joy.
During dinner, you can hear loud and hearty laughter and confident conversations.
Some families are already considering doing more work this winter so that they can save enough money to build a new house next year.
The young couple is also discussing with their elders about doing more work and sending their children to school.
Feng Erya was mixed in the crowd, surrounded by old ladies.
The people from Hu Si's family, Li Mutou's family, and Feng Qingyou's family all sat close to her.
When the younger generations from each family brought the prepared food to their table, they would come over and greet Feng Erya first.
This is their respect for Feng Erya.
Liuhe Village can have this profitable industrial chain thanks to Feng Erya’s early guidance and the skills she taught her.
Now that everyone is about to live a good life, they are naturally grateful to her.
Her status in the village is now second only to the clan leader and the village head.
Even the most conscienceless person would not dare to show it in front of Feng Erya.
Who knows what other skills the old lady has yet to show off? Now she dares to treat Feng Erya badly. What will happen if she excludes her family from the next good thing?
Not to mention that Feng Erya couldn't do it, the three brothers of the Wan family abandoned the old lady, and the old lady turned around and passed on the skills to the whole village.
There was a lively welcoming dinner. Some of the men were not satisfied with the wine and asked their children to bring them some good wine that they had saved at home and were reluctant to drink. In the end, some of them drank too much and were helped home by their families. The welcoming dinner was finally over.
The next day, although the villagers all knew that the village head and the clan leader were waiting for Sun Xiucai to reconcile the accounts with the accountant and calculate how much silver each family could get.
But they still gathered on the dirt road near the patriarch's house to chat.
Everyone gathered together and talked a lot, but everyone was very restrained. They were afraid of disturbing the people who were settling the accounts, so they kept their voices very low.
Everyone went to the vicinity of the clan leader's house, and Feng Erya's house was unusually quiet today.
The old lady was sitting alone in a rocking chair in the yard, with a small quilt draped over her body, basking in the sun with her eyes half closed.
What a rare comfort!
Ever since I started teaching the villagers my craft, my house has been noisy all day except at night when I sleep.
It’s rare that it’s so quiet today. I feel a sense of relaxation as if I have stolen a half day’s leisure from my busy life.
Just when Feng Erya was falling asleep from the rocking chair, Hu Sijia's voice came from the gate of the yard.
"Everyone from the Dashan family has gone to the clan leader's house to wait for news, why are you still sitting here?
Li Mutou and I came here specifically to look for you. Someone has already reserved a seat for us over there. Hurry up and come with us."
Hu Sijia's loud voice immediately woke Feng Erya from her sleepiness.
She sat up slowly and said helplessly, "You are so old, why are you still so noisy?
We're just settling accounts today and dividing the money tomorrow, so why are you in such a hurry? "
The Hu family doesn't think so.
"We won't be sharing money today, but I'll ask how much income our family has. Isn't it okay for me to have some fun tonight?
You old lady, you really look old and have no energy at all. Hurry up and move around. Stop being so unsociable."
Feng Erya still didn't want to go out. What was the point of so many people gathering together and making a mess? It would be better to just rest at home for a while.
She said mysteriously, "Knowing how much money you'll get, besides being happy in advance, there's another possibility. Do you know what it is?"
Hu Sijia was a little puzzled. Now that I know the amount of silver, I am happy. What else can I do? Is there anything else I haven't thought of?
Sitting on the stool next to Feng Erya with Li Mutou's family, they both looked at Feng Erya with confusion, waiting for Feng Erya to explain their doubts.
Feng Erya deliberately leaned close to their ears, lowered her voice, and said mysteriously: "After knowing the amount of silver, you might be so happy that you can't sleep because you suddenly know you have so much silver.
After being happy, I still worry about what to do if the money is lost and I don’t know where to hide it.
You might end up spending the entire night looking for a good place to hide your money, and you won’t feel comfortable hiding it anywhere.”
After saying this, Feng Erya lay back on the recliner.
The two old ladies were stunned for a moment, then Hu Sijia yelled and jumped up from the stool, directly pushing Feng Erya's recliner backwards, so that Feng Erya could only lie down, her hands flapping forward constantly, and she couldn't even sit up.
"You old bastard, you're making fun of us, aren't you? We were so worried that you were lonely at home that we came all the way to find you."
Li Mutou's family was not willing to be outdone, and started to tickle Feng Erya's sore spot.
"You were so naughty when you were young, and you are still like this even at your age.
Let's see if we don't teach you, the master chef of Liuhe Village, a lesson today."
Feng Erya was so itchy that she wanted to stand up, but she couldn't do it.
"I was wrong... Oh, let go, hahahaha... Don't do this, I'm going to make things difficult for you. Hahahaha...
I'm not wrong. You guys... just say that after you know you have so much money, haha... you have to be happy first, and then find a place to hide the money, and you won't feel at ease no matter where you hide it.
Hahahaha...Is it okay if I don't say anything? Let me go."
