"Sister-in-law, is the village chief here?"
Jiang Xueying asked politely and found out that the village chief was really nice to her family.
"Yes, come in and sit for a while. I'll go call him out."
The village chief's wife welcomed her in warmly and handed Jiang Xueying a cup of tea.
Then the village chief came out.
When a man has been away for three days, he will be looked at with new eyes.
The village chief was also surprised when he saw Jiang Xueying's appearance, but he was more worldly-wise than his wife, and his expression soon returned to normal.
"Daughter-in-law of the Ye family, why are you here today..."
"Village Chief, I am sorry to bother you again. I want to ask if there is any vacant land in the village. I want to buy a piece of it."
What? Jiang Xueying wants to buy land?
The village chief and his wife couldn't help but look at each other, and both saw surprise in each other's eyes. After all, the Ye family's house was burned down overnight and nothing was left. How could she, a woman with a child, have so much money to buy land?
So why are French fries so profitable?
Apart from making money from selling French fries, the two really couldn't think of any other ways Jiang Xueying could make money.
"village head?"
Seeing that the village chief didn't say anything, Jiang Xueying called out softly. She naturally knew what the village chief and his wife were surprised about, but there is an old saying that wealth should not be revealed. She naturally would not say how much money she really earned, but she still had enough money to buy the land.
"Oh, of course there is."
The village chief suddenly came to his senses when he heard the voice, and said with a smile, "In the past few days, many people in the village have gone to the dock to help, so a lot of land in the village has been idle, and some people's land is basically not cultivated. I will take you to have a look later, you can pick a piece."
Jiang Xueying immediately smiled gratefully, then took out a piece of fine pork from behind her.
"Village Chief, thank you for your help."
"Oh, that's impossible. I didn't help you much, so how can I accept your things?"
The village chief quickly refused.
Jiang Xueying forced the pork into his hands, her attitude not allowing for refusal. After all, the village chief had really helped them a lot, so this little bit of pork was what he deserved.
"Village Chief, just keep it. I'll ask you to take care of it when I transfer the ownership later. I may need your help with many things in the future."
Since Jiang Xueying said so, the village chief had no choice but to accept the pork.
Soon, under the guidance of the village chief, Jiang Xueying selected a suitable piece of land and negotiated the price. The village chief also helped her transfer the ownership as quickly as possible.
The news spread quickly in this village. When the villagers heard that Jiang Xueying had bought land, they discussed it curiously for a long time. Many people knew that she sold French fries, and they speculated that Jiang Xueying had made a lot of money.
Jiang Xueying looked indifferent when she heard these words, but what she was thinking about in her heart was how she should grow potatoes. She had also looked at the soil here. The original and pollution-free land was very suitable for growing potatoes. She believed that the harvest was only a matter of time.
A few days later, Jiang Xueying cut the potatoes in the space into tubers. She hired a few helpers and planted the potato tubers in the ground in just three days.
As the days passed, the weather gradually became cooler. Jiang Xueying often took the children to the town to buy things, and the two children were very happy.
Jiang Xueying narrowed her eyes slightly, her expression unchanged. She pretended to glance casually at the figure following her stealthily, then picked up Ye Xiaojin and let Ye Xiaoyu walk in front!
The two children had already heard what Jiang Xueying was thinking. They knew someone was following them but they did not say anything and cooperated with Jiang Xueying as if they did not notice anything.
Niang San walked in front, and the person behind followed slowly.
Seeing Ye Xiaojin's nervousness, Jiang Xueying couldn't help but smile slightly, wiped the tiny beads of sweat from his head, and said softly, "What's wrong?"
Ye Xiaojin secretly leaned close to Jiang Xueying's ear and whispered, "Mom, that person behind us has been following us for a long time!"
This kid!
Jiang Xueying sighed, "Are you afraid?"
"Mom, I'm not afraid. I will protect you and my sister!"
The childish tone of the little child didn't sound convincing at all, but it made Jiang Xueying feel warm in her heart.
"Mom, I will protect you and your brother too!"
Before she could finish being moved, Ye Xiaoyu had already grabbed her left and right and said something with a sincere look on her face, which made Jiang Xueying pause.
The child is only seven years old now. She has a thin body and a delicate face full of responsibility. She is obviously a weak girl, but she insists on holding up her shoulders to protect her younger brother.
"Be good, just be good to your brother. Don't try so hard. Mom will protect you."
Who would want to shoulder responsibilities at a young age? Who wants to live in the open and go hungry? Who wants to be the child who is forced to grow up?
Ye Xiaoyu looked up, her clear eyes contained too many emotions, and she could hear clearly what Jiang Xueying was thinking.
Isn't this how she has been through all these years? She has lived her life to the fullest, using all her strength to protect her brother, and she has never thought of giving up even when life was difficult.
Her mother told her to protect her younger brother, her father told her that she had too many responsibilities and expectations, but now her stepmother told her not to try so hard.
Does she really not need to work hard?
Jiang Xueying had been used to the peaceful days and had originally thought that the person behind the scenes would not resort to any tricks, but she did not expect it to happen today.
It was initially estimated that there should be three people behind them. Judging from their strong and muscular bodies, they should be the thugs in the town. When the three of them just walked to a remote and deserted place, the three of them quickly approached and pounced on them directly.
However, before their hands touched the child, there was a crackling sound, and the leader and the man who wanted to catch the child fell to the ground, screaming in pain.
Another person was stunned for a moment, and the next moment he felt a numbness in his legs and fell straight to the ground. His mind was unusually clear, but his limbs were numb and he couldn't move at all.
"Who are you and what have you done to us?"
"What's going on? Why can't we move?"
The three men opened their eyes wide and looked at the woman who was holding the child in one hand and looking at them coldly. There was fear and panic in their eyes, and they couldn't understand why it suddenly became like this.
"You asked me who I am, but I haven't asked you who you are yet."
Jiang Xueying smiled coldly. She put Ye Xiaojin down, inserted the hairpin in her hand back into her hair, and walked leisurely towards the three people. Every step she took seemed to be stepping on the hearts of the three people.
They are all hooligans in the town. They usually rely on supporting the rich and powerful people. They look big and strong and can scare others. They have really done something. They don't know that the person in front of them is the top killer of modern times. It will be a matter of minutes to control them.
"Please spare us, we are just trying to scare people, we have never done anything to harm others!"
