but--
Before the clan elder could even tap his pipe down, Uncle Agan blocked it.
Grandpa Tang also hurriedly tried to stop him.
Ah Chen grinned and said, "Grandpa, do you still want to continue this conversation? Besides, I didn't say anything wrong. What Miao rule did I break by calling my wife 'wife'?"
"You...you...you're driving me crazy, driving me crazy!" The clan elder really wanted to hit Mu Achen.
"Ah Chen, watch your mouth," Uncle Dong reminded him, but Mu Ah Chen asked him, "Uncle Dong, don't you call my aunt 'wife' anymore?"
"Don't be ridiculous, these are different."
“What’s the difference? This is my home, Mu Achen’s home. I only have my wife here, not the Holy Maiden.”
Forehead---
The uncles were taken aback; it seemed there was some truth to it!
Grandpa Tang was furious, "Mu Achen, you have such a foul mouth."
hey-hey--
Mu Achen grinned and said, "I'm busy today, let's get down to business! Two chieftains, I'm giving away money to two chieftains for free, do you want it?"
"That depends on how you deliver it, you bastard!"
Forehead--
My patriarch is so angry.
Mu Achen stopped joking and said, "I'd probably not understand if I told you anything else! I'll just put it simply: even if we have two harvests a year, these 300 acres of orchards aren't enough. They're far from satisfying the appetites of those rich people who have money to burn."
"So, I plan to expand."
Expand the orchard?
Both chieftains were stunned.
Even the three uncles were stunned and dizzy!
You should know that the orchards in Quedong Village and Heiwu Village earn more than 100 million yuan a year.
If this expands further, then--
That would be terrible.
After a moment, they finally came to their senses, only to be stunned by Mu Achen's words.
"Another 300 mu."
thump--
The two village chiefs lost their balance, but luckily the uncles helped them up, otherwise they would have fallen even harder.
Mu Achen smiled.
"Ah Chen, really?"
"Ah Chen, I thought you were just joking when you said you wanted to expand."
The two village chiefs were excited, and the three uncles were also flushed and breathing more rapidly.
Ah Chen said, "If you're willing, you can expand the scale; if you're not, you won't."
Only a fool wouldn't expand the scale!
Neither of the two villages knew what to do. After all, after a year, the core Miao people in the orchard knew that the key and decisive factor was the secret elixir given by Mu Achen.
But they were also worried that their two villages were taking up too much of Mu Achen's territory, and that the other branches would be dissatisfied.
After all, although everyone usually disagrees with each other, they are always connected at heart.
"Ah Chen, do you have any ideas about the other branches?" Grandpa Tang asked.
"Don't worry about it, I have a plan!"
Ah Chen said, "If you're willing, you can do it the way I taught you before, around the New Year. After all, you've all done it before."
"But let me make this clear from the start: because of this expansion, the land in Heiwu Village is not only their own village, but also that of other Hei Miao villages."
"In addition, the newly added 300 mu of land belongs to the Black Miao branch much more than the land in Que Dongzhai."
"Therefore, in order to facilitate the unified settlement of fees by Shengtang, of the 600 mu of orchard, 20% of the original share of Quedongzhai will be transferred to Heiwuzhai, with each side holding 15%."
"Anyway, you don't need to answer me so quickly. Just do the math in your heads first."
"If you think it's feasible, contact Jiang Ya of Shengtang. I've already given him instructions. If you don't think it's feasible, then let's drop this matter."
"I'll go take care of things in the fields now. You two clan elders, take your time to think it over."
As soon as he finished speaking, Mu Achen slipped away.
The two village chiefs and three uncles in the pavilion in the sky were stunned and didn't know what to do!
after all--
Adding 300 mu of orchards is a tremendous boon; other branches would beg for it but not necessarily get it.
But the problem is--
They still had questions: Mu Achen had actually run away.
"What should we do?"
"How should I know? I'm completely dazed right now!"
"Two chieftains, time is of the essence. If the other branches find out about this, they will find Ah Chen first, and this big piece of meat that was about to be eaten will fly away."
"Yes, yes, let's finalize this quickly. Let's go find Amo."
Ten minutes later--
When the two village chiefs and three uncles found Amo, Amo was moving things in the orchard greenhouse.
This time, there were not only the five people from before, but also twenty or thirty Miao people from the two villages.
But after listening to the two chieftains, Amo said dejectedly, "Grandpa, I am now Achen's wife and I'm in charge of the candy. How can you let a married girl make decisions for Quedong Village?"
“And Chief Heiwu, even though I am a Miao woman from your village, I cannot show favoritism.”
Upon hearing this, the two village chiefs and the Miao people were stunned for a moment. Then, an old woman from Quedong Village said, "Holy Maiden, it is true that you are a girl from Quedong Village who has married out, but you are still the Holy Maiden. We will only feel at ease if you make the decision."
Everyone looked at Amo, who was still busy.
They'll do whatever the saintess says is okay.
Amo didn't know what to say, but she felt sorry for Achen's good intentions.
This is wonderful!
So, Amo, who hadn't intended to say anything, stood up after a moment's thought and asked, "Two chieftains, what was Achen's first sentence when he told you about this?"
He said he would give money to our two villages.
