After dinner, it was getting dark, but it wasn't too late yet.
Taking advantage of the dim light, Fan Jin went to the old village chief's house and told him everything.
Then he also mentioned Shuiqing's suggestion.
The old village chief's eldest son, Li Wen, said anxiously, "Dad, Jin Di is right. Once these rabbits are released into the wild, people in other villages will also raise them. Will we still be able to sell them for a good price?"
“There’s so much of it everywhere, even the city couldn’t possibly eat it all, could it?” Wang Guifen, the eldest daughter-in-law, echoed with concern.
The second brother, Li Wu, said angrily, "This Sun Jinhua is outrageous! She's already thinking of sending people out to live with her before anyone in our village has even started raising them."
If everyone keeps giving away a few, our village will never become wealthy.
The third brother, Li Gang, agreed, saying, "It absolutely cannot be allowed to flow out! Dad, you have to step in on this matter, and you also need the villagers to vouch for it."
The later the money flows out, the better off our village will be.
When the whole village prospers and life becomes better, everyone will unite to avoid being bullied by outsiders.
They are also better able to cope with problems.
The old village chief understood the reasoning. He looked at Fan Jin and said with certainty, "Your wife is a knowledgeable person, and her suggestions are very pertinent."
Eldest daughter-in-law, go to Changlin's room and fetch paper, inkstone, and brush.
Wang Guifen hurriedly ran to her son's room.
Li Changlin studied at the Fucheng Academy, taking a break every ten days. His room was mostly empty, but he still had paper, ink, brushes, and inkstones.
The old village chief placed the paper and pen in front of Fan Jin and continued, "I say, Jin boy, you write."
The general idea is that anyone who wants to exchange rabbits can only raise them at home and cannot leave Shanshui Village.
Rabbits that leave Shanshui Village, whether sold or given away, will only be dead!
Violation of this rule will be considered as voluntarily moving out of the village.
Those who disagree may choose not to make the change, but if they do, they must accept the above regulations, sign and affix their fingerprints in front of the entire village, and cannot go back on their word.
The two of them worked together to write it.
The old village chief said, "Eldest brother and second brother, you two gather the whole village tomorrow."
Li Wen and Li Wu responded loudly.
Fan Jin breathed a sigh of relief.
With the old village chief in charge, things are much easier to handle.
The villagers are not afraid of the law as long as they do not break it, but they dare not disregard the village rules.
Especially things that have the unanimous consent of the villagers.
Once violated, there will be no place to stand.
They returned home in the dark and told Shuiqing what the old village chief had done, which put their minds at ease.
In the days that followed, everyone was preparing for the Chinese New Year.
This year's Lunar New Year was much more lively than in previous years!
First of all, everyone has become much wealthier.
Picking water chestnuts, gathering mushrooms, and doing odd jobs to earn money have made life much better for most families in the village.
Secondly, after most families helped Fan Jinshui build his house, they also started making adobe bricks to build their own houses during the winter off-season.
Those with large populations and fast-moving populations have already moved into their new homes.
Then there's Aunt Zhang's family, who, although they haven't moved into their new home yet and the new house isn't finished, were delayed by burning charcoal.
Burning charcoal is a way to make money!
With money, you can eat well, and eating well makes you feel good.
So even without moving, he was still full of energy and enthusiasm every day.
With food reserves at home, the end of the year is no longer a difficult time, and every household is paying extra attention to the New Year.
