Chapter 197 Be Prepared
He deserves to be beaten to death.
Zhao Liya smiled and shook her head: "It's not that serious yet. It's better to be friendly and make money. After all, the county magistrate is still the parent official."
Han San and Han Si exchanged a glance, thinking, "What kind of official is this? If they really anger their master, their tenure as an official will be over."
Before Zhou Hansheng left, he had warned them to obey Zhao Liya in everything. They also knew that Miss Zhao was a person with her own ideas, so since Miss Zhao said so, they just watched and didn't dare to interfere.
"Miss Zhao is right. Let's do this first. If Miss Zhao needs any help, just let us brothers know."
"Yes, Miss Zhao, please don't let yourself be wronged."
Zhao Liya nodded and smiled: "Thank you in advance!"
Everyone went to three villages separately. Lin Mo and Yu Xiaofang went to Baijia Village, Zhao Liya went to Zaihu Village, and Hu Ling and Qu Yutao went to Bajiao Village.
The other two places were just for convenience, to prevent that despicable Mao Dexing from going crazy and launching indiscriminate attacks. The most important places were the sugarcane plantation and the sugar mill.
The sugarcane plantation is currently undergoing the first round of soiling and weeding, and the second round of soiling and weeding will be carried out in mid-June. Harvesting can begin in mid-August.
You can start planting while harvesting, and then start harvesting again around the New Year.
This year, she had planted about 1,100 mu of sugarcane, and she was counting on making a fortune from sugar! She couldn't let Mao Dexing ruin it.
It is not only Zhao Liya who hopes to improve their lives by sugarcane, but also all the villagers in Zaihu Village.
When Zhao Liya told the whole story about Mao Dexing's arrogant and domineering visit to the village head, the village head and others were furious.
"The county magistrate's brother-in-law? I know him, he's very domineering! I didn't expect he even set his sights on our village's sugarcane!"
"If this sugarcane plantation falls into his hands, there's no telling when he'll pay us our wages, and it certainly won't be that much. Miss Zhao, you must not agree to his offer!"
This statement drew the support of many villagers, and some even showed pleading and panic in their eyes.
They were really afraid that the sugarcane plantation would fall into Mao Dexing's hands. If that happened, they couldn't expect to make any money, and it would be good enough if they didn't lose money.
Zhao Liya said, "I came here today to tell you all that we will never give in. This sugarcane plantation is so huge, involving tens of thousands of silver coins. Even the county magistrate himself wouldn't dare to seize it, so who is Mao Dexing?"
"But with a treacherous villain like him, it's hard to say what shady tricks he might use. Let's discuss how to be on guard against him."
The village head and others were relieved after receiving Zhao Liya's guarantee.
"well!"
"We feel relieved with Miss Zhao's words!"
"This bastard Mao Dexing is too wicked. We can't let him succeed. Miss Zhao, we'll do whatever you say."
“.”
Everyone in Zaihu Village trusted Zhao Liya very much. With Zhao Liya's words, they really felt at ease. There was no need for Zhao Liya to repeatedly emphasize her assurances.
Zhao Liya was extremely grateful that she had found the right partner.
There was trust in their eyes, as well as a shared hatred and anger, just like his own.
Zhao Liya nodded and smiled: "If we all work together, things will be much easier."
Everyone immediately started to discuss how to arrange personnel for patrols and night watches, so that neither the sugarcane plantations nor the workshops could be relaxed.
Also, you should be extra careful about strangers coming to the village recently, including but not limited to peddlers, passers-by, hunters, doctors, etc., and even friends you don’t often interact with. You should be vigilant and not let anyone trick you into believing something.
Tell the children to be careful and not to be fooled by candies.
The village head and others agreed to all of them.
After the discussion, when Zhao Liya was leaving, the village head specially called three people to drive an ox cart to see her off. "Don't worry, Miss Zhao, we have many people in the village and can arrange everything! If anyone dares to cause trouble, we will never let them off easily."
After sending Zhao Liya away, the village head specially called all the villagers together to give them an explanation. Anyone who dared to sell out the interests of the village should get out of the village and never say that he was from Zaihu Village again.
These words were full of murderous intent, and anyone who disobeyed would be expelled from the village.
Those who were expelled from the village, without the protection of the clan, could only become hooligans and their fate was very miserable.
No one is not afraid.
By evening, Lin Mo, Hu Ling, and the others had returned, having already explained everything to the various villages. The heads of the various families and clan leaders reassured them that everything was fine, telling them to rest assured. This wasn't just the Zhao family's business; it was also their livelihood. Forget about the county magistrate's brother-in-law; even if the county magistrate himself came and tried to rob them, that wouldn't work.
Yu Xiaofang was even so excited that he just laughed and watched the fun without thinking it was too much. "To be honest, I really can't wait to see that brother-in-law make a fuss, hehehe."
Everyone looked at him in silence.
Having said that, Yu Xiaofang was still very professional. He strolled around the two houses and left some things. Lin Mo also made some arrangements.
The two dogs at home have grown up so much. They behave well on weekdays and I think they can guard the house at night.
There are two other people outside the village, Han San and Han Si. They were specially left behind by Zhou Hansheng, so they are naturally very capable.
Zhao Liya was not worried, but she was worried that Deng would be worried, so she comforted her.
Zhou Nian's situation has basically returned to normal. He had started going to school with Zhao Lixiang, Zhao Lin and others two days ago. But when this incident came out, not to mention Zhou Nian, Zhao Lixiang and Zhao Lin were also temporarily kept at home and stopped going to school.
There are many students in the school, and Zhao Xiang has to teach them. It is impossible for him to keep an eye on Zhao Lixiang and his sister, as well as Zhou Nian. They have just recovered, and it would be terrible if they were stimulated again.
Even if Han San and Han Si are at the school, what if?
It would be safer for them all to stay at home.
Zhou Nian seemed to have never been to school before. On his first day there, he came back at noon excitedly, his eyes sparkling. Everything was new to him and he loved it. When Zhao Liya came back in the evening, he pulled her aside and talked excitedly for a long time.
I didn’t expect that it’s only been two days and the novelty hasn’t worn off yet, but I can’t go again.
Zhou Nian looked up at Zhao Liya pitifully: "Aunt, I want to go to school."
Under Zhou Hansheng's tireless teaching, the child finally changed his mind.
After Zhou Hansheng left, although he seemed to be no different from a normal child, he was still the most attached to Zhao Liya. He would sit next to Zhao Liya for meals. Every day before Zhao Liya went out, she would tell him. As soon as she came back every day, he would immediately run over to rub against her, hug her arm and talk to her affectionately.
