Chapter 31: Lord Jiu



Li Miaomiao insisted, and Zhang Degen had no reason to disagree, so he arranged Li Miaomiao to the group that was responsible for the new land.

The group that was reclaiming the land consisted of a few particularly capable women in the village, while the rest were all big and strong men. Pei Guosheng, who was known for his ability to endure hardships, was also in this team.

Pei Guosheng was very surprised to see Li Miaomiao come here to open up wasteland.

"Second sister-in-law, why did you come here to open up wasteland? How can you, a woman, have such strength? Why did Uncle Degen arrange it this way?"

"I came here on my own initiative. I wanted to earn more work points so that I could live a better life."

"How can this be done, sister-in-law? This job is too tiring for you to do."

Pei Guosheng couldn't bear to see his second sister-in-law suffer so much, how could his second brother in the underground feel at ease?

But no one can persuade Li Miaomiao to do what she wants to do.

Because such a thing was so rare and Li Miaomiao had such a reputation in the past, it didn't take long for everyone to know that Li Miaomiao had volunteered to go and open up the wasteland.

"Is this true? Isn't Li Miaomiao lazy and greedy, and incompetent at everything? How dare she open up wasteland?"

The women in the village usually chat about gossip when they have nothing to do. In the past two years, the person they talked about the most is Li Miaomiao, especially after Pei Guoan's accident. The affairs of the Pei family always attracted everyone's attention and curiosity, and Zhou Fang often talked about all kinds of strange things about Li Miaomiao.

"Of course it's true. How can it be a lie? You'll know for yourself when you see it."

"That's true. How come Li Miaomiao suddenly became a better person? If she can really do this, I will look up to her."

"Why are you criticizing Li Miaomiao? She's not doing anything to you."

Wang Chunhua, the village chief's wife, had heard her husband talk about the Pei family, especially Li Miaomiao's performance in the past few days, which left a good impression on Wang Chunhua. When she heard everyone gossiping about Li Miaomiao, she said a few words for Li Miaomiao.

"Aunt Chunhua, we're just curious, can Li Miaomiao really get better all of a sudden?"

"She wasn't bad to begin with, but some gossipy women ruined her reputation. If it's really like what you said, why would a woman like her go back home and do such tiring and heavy work?"

"That's true. Actually, apart from not going to work and not liking to talk to people, Li Miaomiao hasn't done anything excessive before. It's just that Guotai's wife said..."

The woman stopped talking midway, and everyone seemed to understand what she said.

Here, Pei Yifan followed a few friends to collect grass for pigs, and could earn four work points every day. When he heard that Li Miaomiao was actually going to open up wasteland, Pei Yifan's smiling face suddenly fell silent.

"Xiao Fan, your mother is really amazing. My mother said that clearing land is a job only men can do."

When Pei Yifan heard what his friend said, he did not feel proud, but his eyes were red. However, Pei Yifan also knew Li Miaomiao's current temper and did not try to persuade Li Miaomiao. His mother was fulfilling her promise, and he also wanted to fulfill his own promise.

Thinking of this, Pei Yifan worked even faster.

Even if you collect grass for pigs, the work points are calculated based on the amount. If you collect less, you will only earn one or two work points, and if you collect more, you can earn four work points.

If he earns more work points, his mother won't have to work so hard.

Li Miaomiao was also secretly complaining in her heart.

She felt so good after taking the powerful pills that she became arrogant and miscalculated her own strength.

The work she did before was not tiring, so Li Miaomiao felt that she had plenty of strength, but it was still a bit difficult to open up the wasteland here.

The main reason was that she was not very strong to begin with. Although she had taken a strength pill which doubled her strength, she was still not as strong as those men. This was embarrassing, so she boasted that she could definitely do it because everyone was watching.

She can't regret it now. Doesn't Li Miaomiao have any face?

Then you have to work harder and save up 10,000 survival points to reach level 2, then you can unlock the level 2 Strength Pill.

Thinking of this, Li Miaomiao still gritted her teeth and persevered. It was only a matter of a few days, she could do it.

Even Old Lady Pei felt sorry for Li Miaomiao when she saw her working so hard.

"My second son's wife is really working hard. I was worried that she would quit after just a few days, but now seeing her working so hard, I feel bad."

After work, Mrs. Pei even went to find Li Miaomiao and said, "Second son's wife, don't work too hard. Even though the second son is gone, we two old people are still here. We won't abandon you and your child. We will definitely help you raise Xiaofan together."

After hearing this, Li Miaomiao thought to herself that if she didn't have to earn survival points to stay alive, she really wanted to give up.

"Mom, you're old now, how can you worry about us mother and son like this? Guoan is so filial, if he knew, he wouldn't be at peace in the underworld. I have to be filial to you on his behalf."

Li Miaomiao felt that she was really smart. While Pei Guoan was not back, she tried her best to win the favor of her parents-in-law so that they would become her helpers in the future.

The system listened to what Li Miaomiao said and also complained: Pei Guoan is obviously not dead, but the host keeps calling him her deceased husband. If Pei Guoan heard it, he would be mad to death even if he is not dead.

Pei Guoan, who was being used as a tool by Li Miaomiao, woke up after being in a coma for many days and found that he had lost his memory. Because he had nowhere to go, he followed Luo Ye, whom he had rescued by chance, after leaving the hospital.

This is no different from the book.

This Mr. Luo is quite powerful in the provincial capital. He secretly controls the black market, and his identity is not simple either.

The reason why Mr. Luo invited Pei Guoan to work together was because Pei Guoan had saved his life before and he wanted to help Pei Guoan.

After working together for a period of time, he was impressed by Pei Guoan's character and ability, and truly regarded Pei Guoan as a good friend and a brother who could share life and death with him.

"Master Jiu, Boss Liang has been very arrogant recently and has been suppressing us. Should we teach Boss Liang a lesson and let him know who has the final say in Jiang Province?"

"Let's put that aside for now. Have you found out where the goods of unknown origin came from?"

"It's strange to say, this batch of goods seemed to appear out of nowhere, which makes people feel a little mysterious."

"What did Master Luo say?"

"Mr. Luo is not sure either. Let us ask you what you mean."

Pei Guoan crushed his cigarette butt and said, "Let's retreat. I suspect this matter is related to the other side of the shore. Let's not get involved in this."

"It would be a shame to give up such a huge profit like this. Besides, if we withdraw, Boss Liang will be even more proud."

"It's nothing to be proud of for a while. Although we're in this business, Mr. Luo and I have our bottom line and rules. We know we shouldn't get involved in something, no matter how big the profit is. Besides, if it's really as I suspect, getting involved with this batch of goods will cause trouble."

Pei Guoan had a hunch that this time it wouldn't be that simple. He had relied on this hunch to avoid danger several times.

"Spread my words. From now on, everyone should hold back and wait until this is over."
