Chapter 869 Shouldn’t we ask you about this?
The person who was talking next to her saw Tian Caihong lowered her head, and thought that she didn't want to talk to him, so he also shut his mouth consciously.
The oxcart heading to Dahe Village was slowly filled with people. The driver cracked the whip and drove forward.
"The village chief is going to lead everyone to do something big. Have you heard?"
“Isn’t it just about raising fish?
This morning, our village head returned with his men."
"Why is this girl from Defu so good?
Not only does he live a good life, he also helps us live a good life.
I heard that she buys all the fish from the fish pond in our village."
"Are you serious?"
"You forgot, my son stayed outside with the village head for a few days, and he came back to tell us."
"I'm just wondering, why does this girl from the Defu family collect so many fish?"
"You don't know this, right?
There is now a fish restaurant in the county town. I heard that it is always packed with people every day.
Do you know who owns this restaurant?"
"Who is it?"
"That's hard to guess, of course it's the daughter of the Defu family!"
"Oh, now I understand. The fish raised in our village are also sent to the restaurant of Defu's daughter."
"I remember Defu had two daughters. Which one are you talking about?"
"Of course she's her own daughter! What's her name?"
"Defu family, what's the name of your Defu family's daughter?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone on the ox cart looked at Tian Caihong.
Even if Tian Caihong didn't want to pay attention to anyone, she had to speak up, "You are talking about Jue Xia, right?"
"Yes, Juexia! Before I got married, I had no impression of her at all.
I really didn't expect that this girl is so successful now.
Do you know what the headman said?
He said that the fish pond we are planning to build in our village belongs to all of us.
At that time, every household will take turns to serve, and the money earned will be divided according to the number of people!
Just thinking about it makes me wake up with a happy smile. If I raise these fish well, I can exchange them for money.
When the New Year comes, every household will get some money."
When the people on the ox cart heard that there was silver to be shared, they all grinned.
"To be honest, I'm still a little unsure about how our village head will handle things.
But when I heard that it was Jue Xia who was helping him from behind, I instantly felt relieved."
"Why do you say that?"
“You guys don’t know this?
Yejia Village, where Juexia married, is located deep in the mountains and forests. You all know how poor it was in the past, without me having to tell you.
But things have changed since Juexia got married. Now every family is very rich.
I heard that the girls in Yejia Village are now looking for husbands.
There are also some young men who are not yet of marriageable age, but the matchmaker comes to propose marriage to them.
Even the girls in the town want to marry into Yejia Village!
Just think about it, if the people in Yejia Village didn't have a good life, who would rush to arrange marriages for them? "
"Well, that's exactly the case!"
Tian Caihong felt very annoyed after hearing this and lowered her head even more.
"Defu family, your daughter is so capable, you are really lucky!"
The woman next to him pushed the man who was speaking and whispered in his ear, "I wanted to remind you just now that she is Jue Xia's stepmother and has never liked Jue Xia very much."
"Ah, how could this happen? No wonder she was upset when I asked her a question just now!"
"Everyone in our village knows this, how come you don't know it?"
"My boss and I have been doing business outside for a long time. We only returned home last year."
"I see! I'm telling you, stay away from her from now on.
No one in our village likes her very much.
If it weren't for her, maybe Jue Xia would have helped us earlier."
"That's exactly what happened."
After finally arriving at Dahe Village, Tian Caihong was the first to jump off the ox cart and trotted all the way home.
"Defu family, why are you back?
Aren't you going to enjoy your life at your daughter's house?"
Tian Caihong forced a smile and said, "No matter how good my daughter's home is, it's not as comfortable as my own home."
"I believe that!"
Tian Caihong was about to continue walking when she heard someone say, "Our village has started to build a fish pond. How many people are you going to send?"
"Of course the more the better."
"Have you ever thought about what would happen if the fish pond couldn't be built and the workers weren't paid?"
"Bah, how can you talk like that? Everyone wants a good start. The fish pond hasn't even been built yet, and you're saying such discouraging things.
Believe it or not, if the village head hears this, he will definitely punish you."
The man who was speaking tilted his head and said, "Even if the head of the village came, I would say the same thing."
"If you want to say so, then say so!
Anyway, anyone in our family who can work will go."
“It’s the same in our family.
My boss just came back from Cuiliu Manor. I asked him about it just now and he said Cuiliu Manor is very good.
Every household lives better than us.
Think about it, Cuiliu Manor was the manor bought by Juexia, and life there was so good.
We are her family home, she will definitely do her best to help us."
"Then everyone in our family who can work should go. We're just sitting around doing nothing anyway."
"Yes, that's right.
I heard from my boss that as long as there are fish in this pond, Juexia can help us exchange them for silver.
If we don't take this good thing that comes to our doorstep seriously, we would be fools.
The most important thing is that if we do this well, Jue Xia will definitely think of us if anything happens to her in the future."
Tian Caihong had been listening at the side, and she was getting more and more impatient. "We want to raise fish in our village?"
Only then did everyone discover Tian Caihong's existence, although no one liked her very much.
But when she thought that she was still Zhang Defu's wife after all, she kindly told her about the things happening in the village.
"You guys from the Defu family don't have to worry about anyone being involved. After all, it's Defu's daughter who's helping us.
When the village head finally divides the money, he will definitely give you some for Jue Xia's sake."
Tian Caihong nodded randomly. "I just heard that Jue Xia opened a fish restaurant in the county town. Do you know what it's called?"
Everyone shook their heads and said, "Defu family, why are you asking us about this?
Shouldn't we ask you?"
Tian Caihong lowered her head in panic, her eyes unfocused. "Well, nothing much. I'll go back first."
Tian Caihong didn't know how she got home.
When I got home, the house was cold and deserted.
Zhang Defu was not at home either. Seeing that the whole place was in a mess, she bent down and started to clean it up.
The more she cleaned, the more confused she became, but her mind was full of thoughts about raising and eating fish.
She raised her head and looked at the sky, wondering whether she should tell Zhang Qiuye the news.
