"It was Lu Yatou who told us that we could eat those wild vegetables, otherwise we would still be eating bitter herbs!"
"That ungrateful old hag! Last time she took the most cabbage, she doesn't appreciate the kindness others showed her, she only remembers what she brought out, and she doesn't even consider whether others would even look at her measly two ounces!"
Qian was humiliated by the villagers' words, but she couldn't swallow her anger. Her eyes lit up when she saw Zhou Yi, and she started attacking him, "And the six Zhou brothers, you can't just work for Dahai's family all day long. If you ask me, the six of you brothers should help the whole village with their work. That's fair."
On Monday, Qian's words left him speechless. He had received favors from Lijia Village; the money for his brothers' homestead had been paid on their behalf by the village chief. But ultimately, it was still the village's money, a point he couldn't deny.
Lu Qiqi had truly broadened her horizons this time. It was rare to encounter such a difficult woman, but it didn't matter, she was prepared.

Lu Qiqi handed the written pledge to Zhou Yi, then looked at everyone and said, "Although Lu Qiqi and Liu Tong and I are from other villages, we did contribute to killing the Tartars. Chef Liu almost lost his life. We are perfectly justified in getting a plot of land for one tael of silver in Hua Village. If anyone brings this up in the future, let them come! I want to see if they have any conscience!"
When Lu Qiqi said this, everyone in the room was stunned. They had seen Lu Qiqi kill ruthlessly and act decisively, but they had never imagined that she would have such an aura. For a moment, everyone felt that the Lu family girl was different from others and should not only make a living in this mountain village.
