Chapter 16 Betting



"Mom, you have to distinguish right from wrong. The crying child will not get candy. If you soften your heart because of a few words again, I will cry to you every day in the future."

Ye Wangshu knew that his mother-in-law's character was a little confusing, and he was afraid that one day when he was not at home, Li Xiaoxia would just say a few words and make her stand against him.

After leaving these words, Ye Wangshu went to the kitchen.

It's getting late now, time to make lunch.

"Mom, look at her!" Seeing Ye Wangshu go out, Li Xiaoxia opened her red and swollen eyes and looked at Zhou's mother.

Zhou's mother thought about what Ye Wangshu had just said, and when she looked at Li Xiaoxia again, she felt something was wrong.

It is true that the eldest child does more housework, but he also gets more!

Ye Wangshu had just finished cooking and was hesitating whether to call Zhou Jincong to bring people back for dinner when Zhou Jincong had already returned with his people.

Early in the morning, the villagers were attracted to the fields by the noise of the excavator.

At this moment, the man came back driving the excavator, attracting a lot of people again.

The two groups talked at once, and everyone knew that this strange-shaped cart was used for digging.

"I can smell the fragrance from so far away. Brother Zhou is so lucky to have married a wife who is such a good cook."

"That's right, my wife is the best wife in the world."

Thinking of Ye Wangshu's bright appearance, Zhou Jincong's dark eyes shone with light, and his whole body seemed to be enveloped in happiness.

"Brother Zhou has become a completely different person since he got married!"

"That's right!" Zhou Jincong didn't blush at all when he heard the joke.

He also felt that he had changed, but in fact, it was Ye Wangshu who had changed more.

"This is Xiao Li, right? You've worked hard today. Without you, I don't know how long it would take to dig this field!"

"Auntie Zhou, you're too polite. Brother Zhou has also helped a lot! This is nothing to me, not to mention that he paid for the gas."

"It's what you should give it to me. Come and sit down. We'll be eating soon." Mother Zhou asked Xiao Li to sit down, and urged Zhou Jincong to help Ye Wangshu serve the dishes.

The two of them brought the last two dishes to the main hall. Xiao Li immediately went over and took the dishes from Ye Wangshu's hand.

"This is my sister-in-law! She's as pretty as a fairy. No wonder Brother Zhou's smile never fades when he mentions you!"

Xiao Li only glanced at Ye Wangshu and immediately looked away.

"Sister-in-law, this is too expensive. Why do you need to cook so many dishes?"

"It's my duty. You've helped me so much, so it's only natural that I cook some delicious food for you."

After dinner, Xiao Li drove the excavator away.

Ye Wangshu was eager to see how his field was being dug, so he pulled Zhou Jincong out.

Li Xiaoxia waited for the two men fiercely, and did not forget to pack up the leftovers on the table.

"I should have let you take a look before letting Xiao Li go. If there's a problem, I'll have to dig it out myself."

Seeing Ye Wangshu's excited look, Zhou Jincong suddenly slapped his head in annoyance.

"I believe you. I've told you so clearly. You're not stupid. Do you dare to make a bet? I bet there's no problem."

Facing Ye Wangshu's bright eyes, Zhou Jincong agreed without hesitation, "Sure! What's the bet?"

"If I win, you have to listen to me no matter what I do from now on. How about it?" Ye Wangshu smiled cunningly and lay directly on Zhou Jincong. "Husband, do you dare to bet?"

"Let's make a bet. If I win... I'll punish you by commanding me for the rest of your life. How about that?"

Ye Wangshu never expected Zhou Jincong to say such a thing. She nodded in a daze, then suddenly woke up from her dream, "Is what you just said true?"

"Isn't it right to listen to your wife?"

Zhou Jincong couldn't help laughing when he saw Ye Wangshu's reaction.

"You said it, so you'll do whatever I tell you to do from now on!"

"We haven't reached the fields yet!" Zhou Jincong reminded, then took Ye Wangshu's hand and went to the fields.

"It's all the same!"

Ye Wangshu replied softly. She now felt that she was surrounded by happiness.

Both the width and depth were exactly as Ye Wangshu required. There was even a pile of green bricks next to it, waiting to be used for paving the floor.

"It's perfect, but..."

It is far inferior to the breeding bases in later generations.

But this is already the best effect in this era.

"But what? Anything else to add?"

"I'm thinking about how to expand it when it gets bigger."

Not wanting Zhou Jincong to worry, Ye Wangshu squeezed his hand and told him another problem that he had been worried about.

"It's easy. If there's unowned land, go to the village and buy it. If there's someone else, buy them or exchange them. As long as you have the money, you don't have to worry about not getting the land."

"That makes sense. We should stockpile more land."

Ye Wangshu nodded and made up his mind to make money to buy land.

After all, land will be very valuable in the future.

At night, when the family had finished their meal and were about to go back to their rooms, there was a sudden knock on the gate.

Zhou Jincong went to open the door with a puzzled look on his face, but saw many village cadres and respected people in the village.

"Village Chief, why are you here?"

"Jin Cong! Your family made such a big commotion today, so as the village chief, of course I have to come and ask about it. Whatever you do, you have to report it to the village. How could you forget?"

The village chief's tone seemed unhappy, but his expression was flattering.

Everyone knows that Zhou Jincong is a very capable person. With so many people in the army, he can be a small leader.

"I was planning to wait until everything was done before telling you, but since everyone is here, I'll tell you now."

Zhou Jincong welcomed everyone to the main hall, and then called Ye Wangshu who was washing dishes over.

Li Xiaoxia heard such a loud noise, so she naturally didn't want to be outdone and hurried over.

"Don't be nervous, we're here to ask you what you plan to do with this field..."

"If you ask me, this is just looking for trouble. Instead of planting the good land, they actually dig a hole! You might as well dig your own grave. You live too happily and are just looking for trouble!"

Li Xiaoxia leaned against the door frame and looked at Ye Wangshu with disgust.

"Village chief, don't listen to my sister-in-law's nonsense. My wife is doing this because she's thinking of a way to make money. Didn't she go to the secretary to get a lease agreement not long ago?"

"Making money? Anyone can boast like that! How much money can you make just by digging a ditch? Make some money first, then you can boast like that!"

Li Xiaoxia didn't believe that Ye Wangshu had any ideas to make money, and even less that she believed that she could make money.

After hearing what Li Xiaoxia said, most of the village chief and others agreed, and some even nodded.

Zhou Jincong couldn't tolerate his wife being looked down upon, so he said directly, "Village Chief, I believe my wife. Don't be anxious, listen to what my wife has to say first."

Should a profitable business be made public?

Ye Wangshu had some doubts in her heart, but she was not a selfish person. She had thought before that once she opened up sales channels, she would bring money to the whole village together.

It's just a matter of saying it earlier now.
