Chapter 490: The Fisherman's Benefit
A night of revelry did not allow the people of Yuancheng to relax.
Instead, before daybreak, everyone started to get busy again.
While busy, he was recalling the sweetness of the corn buns in his words.
They all want to finish the work as quickly as possible and dry the corn so that they can collect the fruits of their labor over the past few months.
They had already harvested the crops they had grown on their own land and piled them up in their own small yard to dry.
They just wanted to know how much food they would have this year and whether it would be enough to last through the winter.
Old Song put the corn stalks he had cut on the ground, then stood up and breathed a sigh of relief.
There are still a lot of them, and it looks like it will take a few more days to cut them.
Old Sun walked to Old Song's side and lowered his voice:
"Have you heard? Yesterday, the people from Zhaojia Village and Beijia Village almost got into a fight."
Seeing Lao Song looking at him with a puzzled expression, Lao Sun frowned, "You don't know?
Because of that vacant lot.
I heard they wanted to grab the land and use it to cultivate corn next year.”
He was now only glad that they had listened to Madam Xu Shao's advice and gone to open up wasteland and get some land of their own whenever they had time.
As soon as they cleared the land, they planted corn. Although the land is barren now, the corn is growing well.
Although the corn cobs are a little thinner than those here, the harvest is generally good.
Thinking about the corn cobs piled up at home and the corn that would soon be distributed, Old Sun couldn't stop smiling. He decided to stay with Mrs. Xu and have a meal.
Old Song glanced thoughtfully into the distance, then lowered his head and continued working:
“Hurry up and get to work.
The work here is done, and there is other work waiting for us to do.”
During the lunch break, Old Song found Lin Mo.
He talked about the dispute over land between the two villages.
He is now worried that when the people of these two villages see that they can harvest corn after reclaiming the wasteland that no one wants, they will unite to take back the wasteland they reclaimed.
After all, it is the lives of the people that are at stake.
When it is useless, no one wants it, but once it is useful, everyone will rush to grab it.
When they first started to open up the wasteland, people from these two villages often came to ridicule them, saying that they had nothing to do and that they were wasting their time here and would end up with nothing.
Now that I see that crops have been grown, I naturally feel jealous.
Some shameless people will try to take it for themselves.
Lin Mo nodded, indicating that she already knew about this matter and she would handle it.
In fact, she knew about this yesterday and had someone investigate.
Thinking of the greenhouse, Lin Mo told him about winter planting.
"Can vegetables really be grown in heavy snow?" Old Song doubted.
Once the snow falls, the ground will freeze. How can vegetables still grow?
Are you sure you won’t be killed by the snow or frozen to death?
He hesitated and shook his head, "Young Madam, aren't you being a little too fanciful?
In winter, only in the south, where it doesn't snow and the weather is relatively warm, can some vegetables be grown.
But here, where the winter is so cold that people can freeze to death, it’s impossible to grow any vegetables or fruits.”
The only green you see here in winter is preserved pickles or home-grown bean sprouts.
Even fresher is the cabbage harvested when the snow falls.
Lin Mo shook his head, "How can we know if we don't try?
What if it succeeds?
Do you know what success means? "
Old Song was stunned for a moment, then nodded seriously, "I understand.
I will clear out a piece of land as quickly as possible in the next two days and then turn it over."
After Old Song left, Lin Mo asked someone to invite Jia Kun, the village chief of Beijia Village, and she also went out.
When we arrived at the edge of the field, many people from the two villages were already confronting each other.
Lin Mo took his people and found an inconspicuous place to watch the show.
When no crops can be grown on these fields, no one will even bother to look at them even if they grow weeds.
Once it was discovered that crops could be grown, these unowned, uncultivated lands became popular.
"Bullshit, this piece of land is on our side of Zhaojia Village, so it naturally belongs to our Zhaojia Village."
"What do you mean it's in your Zhaojia Village? It clearly belongs to our Beijia Village."
"No, they are from our Zhaojia Village!"
…
After this argument, the two sides almost came to a fight.
In the end, Zhao Dashan from Zhaojia Village got angry:
"You people from Beijia Village, please don't go too far. This land has always been under the jurisdiction of our Zhaojia Village. You are just relying on the power of the Xu family to occupy it. I tell you, it's impossible.
We in Zhaojia Village will never yield to evil forces."
Jia Liu stood up, his face full of contempt:
"This piece of land has always been a no-man's land, so how did it become the property of your Zhaojia Village?
And the wasteland they reclaimed, which had no owner, had always belonged to whoever reclaimed it. "Why, are you people from Zhaojia Village so shameless that you want to take everything for yourselves?"
An unnatural look flashed across Zhao Dashan's face, "Who said that?
They didn't ask us when they reclaimed the land, and they didn't pay us. So what's the problem with us taking the land back?"
Jia Liu smiled and said, "You people from Zhao Village shouldn't eat in such an ugly way.
What do you mean you want to take it back?
What you are saying is the most ridiculous thing in the world. What qualifications do you have to take back the unowned wasteland that someone else has reclaimed?"
Zhao Dashan was proud, "Why?
With the Li family doing business in our village, I tell you, our Zhaojia Village will soon surpass you.
We will be rich and powerful by then, so what if we want to take back these lands? Money makes you the boss, so what?"
Jia Liu grinned, greedy.
If word gets out to the Xu family, won't they punish him severely?
He suddenly thought of reaping the benefits.
Jia Liu looked at the villagers of Beijia Village nearby with excitement and said, "Let's go. Stop arguing."
The villagers of Beijia Village were stunned. The next second, they all frowned and spoke unhappily:
"Why don't you fight for it? Such a large piece of land can produce a lot of food."
"That's right, how can I not give it up? I can't leave!"
…
Jia Liu rolled his eyes and said, "Think about it yourself. Zhao Dashan not only wants this piece of land, he also wants the land reclaimed by the Xu family.
Haha, they are so greedy, are you sure the Xu family will agree?
When the Xu family takes care of them, won't this land be ours?"
So, are they going to grab it themselves?
There's no need for that.
…
Lin Mo rolled her eyes. You're talking so loudly, do you think you can't hear?
He does use his brain.
Is it really possible to reap the benefits while sitting back and reap the profits?
The abacus beads all jumped onto his face.
besides……
Lin Mo narrowed her eyes. Is Li Xianlie making moves again?
At this moment, Jia Kun came hurriedly.
He was so anxious that he was sweating profusely and didn't even bother to wipe it off. He looked around for Lin Mo.
Jia Liu and others also discovered Jia Kun.
Without waiting for Jia Kun to speak, they immediately surrounded him and started talking at once.
"Village Chief, are you here to help us seize this land?"
"Village Chief, we've discovered it. We don't need to do anything. Just sit back and reap the benefits."
…
Jia Kun didn't pay any attention to what they were saying, but looked around for Lin Mo.
When he saw Lin Mo, his eyes lit up.
At this moment, he just happened to hear that they wanted to use Madam Xu to seize the land. His face darkened and he couldn't help but yelled in a low voice:
“What nonsense are you talking about here?
If you want to die, don't drag other people in the village with you.
"How can you possibly plot against Madam Xu? I warn you, you'd better not even think about this kind of thing, or you'll die without knowing how."
After saying that, he hurriedly pushed Jia Liu and others aside and walked towards Lin Mo who was not far away.
Jia Liu is such a fool. He has suffered so much but still hasn't learned his lesson. He is even plotting against Madam Xu Shao. He really won't cry until he sees the coffin.
Is Madam Xu so easy to scheme against?
Also, I don’t know how long Madam Xu has been here, and how much she has heard?
So when he was only five steps away from Lin Mo, Jia Kun stopped and smiled bitterly:
"Mrs. Xu, please don't listen to Jia Liu's nonsense. Don't worry, I will never allow such a thing to happen. If it does, I will give you an explanation."
Jia Liu and other fools are short-sighted.
If the Xu family is angered and they withdraw, the people of Beijia Village will suffer the greatest losses.
Anyone in Beijia Village who is diligent is working for the Xu family, and everyone has made a lot of money in the past few months.
Having enough food to eat and wearing new clothes has become simple, considering that they might not have been able to afford a new piece of clothing in the past two years.
There are so many people in the village now that all the hardworking people want to rebuild their houses, but unfortunately there is no one to help.
And all these changes were brought about by the Xu family.
Therefore, if Jia Liu and his bastards dare to take advantage of Madam Xu Shao, their families will be the first to beat them to death.
The ones causing trouble now are just a few lazy hooligans, who brought with them a group of old women who can't work.
No, we have to hold a clan meeting in the ancestral hall tonight.
Anyone who dares to cut off the clan’s financial resources should be beaten.
Lin Mo glanced at Jia Kun, who looked nervous. "Don't worry, I don't take it to heart. I'm still confident in you."
I called you here so that you can take care of them."
After saying that, Lin Mo walked slowly towards Zhao Dashan:
"What did you say? You said you wanted these lands back?"
…
