In the eyes of the disaster victims in Kaoshan Village, Qingpingzhuang is a good place.
Xiao Wuzi said proudly: "I am a disaster victim from Kaoshan Village, and Miss Kang is the boss of our Qingping Village." He classified himself as a member of Qingping Village, so the boss should not be angry.
County Magistrate Cheng was so shocked looking at Kang Yueran that he was speechless. "What? You are the head of Qingping Mountain, Kang Dadongjia?"
After the Tiger Gang was eliminated, everyone dared to go out again, and news spread quickly. The story of Kaoshan Village spread throughout Anzhou, and the Kang family became quite famous.
Kang Yueran nodded and said, "Yes, Qingping Village has been renamed Qingping Village. We are now doing legitimate business and making a living by our own strength and ability."
Although people are strictly prohibited from entering Kaoshan Village and are not allowed to go out at will, there is news that County Magistrate Cheng has a good impression of the great Kang family who has been helping the victims.
So he was not only afraid of Kang Yueran, but also sternly warned Liu Lizheng that he must hand over the 20,000 kilograms of grain.
When he got to Qing Pingshan's head, Liu Lizheng wanted to slap himself twice. He didn't dare to say no and quickly nodded in agreement.
The matter was resolved smoothly. Wang Xiaoqi and his companions were not seriously injured and they would recover in a few days.
Liu Lizheng returned to the village and told County Magistrate Cheng about his decision, saying frankly that people from Qingpingzhuang would come to collect grain in two days, and those who did not want to give grain could go and talk to the bandits themselves.
No matter how powerful they were, they didn't dare to act in front of the bandits. They didn't dare to resist, but they were unwilling to accept it both in words and in their hearts.
Those who were timid would just scold them at home and forget about it, while those who were brave would leave the village and tell their relatives that people from Qingping Mountain came to their village to steal food.
The surrounding villages were all frightened, and Lijiaji Village and Sanhe Village also heard the news.
The people of Lijiaji Village didn't believe it at all because Li Mao had gone to Qingping Mountain to exchange rice twice and they knew that the people of Liujia Village were always unreasonable.
It was different in Sanhe Village. They guessed Kang Yueran's identity based on the two key words: a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl and the boss.
Bai Lizheng brought many people to find Bai Yun and asked him about Kang Yueran's identity.
Bai Yun, seeing that he could no longer conceal the truth, confessed directly and acted as a guarantor for Kang Yueran to the villagers. However, Bai Yun's family was too poor and no one was willing to believe his guarantee.
Some people in the village began to blame Bai Yun, "You are from Sanhe Village too, why are you siding with outsiders? Bai Yun, go tell the bandits in Qingping Mountain that we will not rent our village land to them for farming."
Bai Yun, unwilling to be outdone, reminded them, "You have already accepted the rice from the big boss."
"Let's return the rice to her. We are all honest farmers in our village. We can't have anything to do with bandits."
Bai Shengren was honest. "My dear uncles, when Bai Yun and I went hunting in Wild Boar Ridge, it was the eldest master who saved our lives and gave us a wild boar. That's how our family didn't starve to death. The eldest master is such a good man."
"She saved your brother, so of course you say she's a good person."
Bai Yun was so angry that he jumped up and down. "If you don't trust us brothers, you should trust Uncle Li, the head of Lijiaji Village. When Qingping Mountain was harvesting mint, Uncle Li led the villagers to pick mint and bring it to Qingping Mountain. He traded 400 kilograms of mint for 400 kilograms of rice."
Bai Lizheng was stunned. "Is there such a thing? How dare Brother Li go to Qingping Mountain?"
Bai Yun continued, "Uncle Li took his men out hunting and happened to run into the big boss. Seeing that the big boss had a lot of men, he approached and asked if he could go with them, and the big boss agreed.
After we went up the mountain, the boss rescued my brother and me, and asked the people from Lijiaji Village to help carry the wild boar. After we came down the mountain, we gave Uncle Li two wild boars, one big and one small.
And this time when we were planting radishes, most of our villagers wanted grain, but most of the people in Lijiaji Village wanted silver, because they trusted the big boss. The big boss is such a good person!
Old Man Bai was worried, but no matter how worried he was, he had to stand by his son. "Village head, that big boss has helped many disaster victims, so he's definitely not a bad person. Besides, we all know that the people in Liujia Village are always unreasonable."
Bai Lizheng was very hesitant. "How about I go to Lijiaji Village tomorrow and ask Brother Li about it? He has been the head of the village for more than ten years. He is better than Bai Yun in judging people, speaking and doing things."
The decision of whether to continue renting the land was a major one for the villagers. Someone urged, "Let's go now, before the sun sets, rather than tomorrow. Bring more people with us so we don't have to worry about returning after dark."
Everyone agreed, and a group of more than 30 people went to Lijiaji Village together.
So many people came to Li Mao's house, and many people from the village came to watch the fun.
After a few simple pleasantries, Bai Lizheng quickly got to the point, "Brother Li, I've only met the eldest lady once. What do you think of her?"
He grabbed Li Mao's hand and said, "Brother Li, you know, we in Sanhe Village are all honest people. Just tell me the truth and don't hide it from me."
Li Mao replied, "That day, when we left your village with the master, I told him on the way that we would choose silver over grain. If we have too many radishes and can't sell them, we can keep them for ourselves. Radishes are also food, so we won't lose out."
Li Sangen continued Li Mao's words, "Yes, yes, yes." The eldest lady laughed and said that if we choose grain, she can at least earn twice as much money.
He also said that we were right to choose silver, so only a few households in our village who were really short of rice chose half grain and half silver, while the rest of the people chose silver.
Bai Yun, with a look of disappointment, said to the people of Sanhe Village, "I told you to choose the silver."
Bai Lizheng was surprised and asked, "Did everyone in your village choose silver? Brother Li, you're also an old farmer, so you should be able to see that next year's harvest won't be good. Why don't you stock up on more food?"
Li Sangen said first: "My father also asked, and the eldest lady said that she planted several hundred acres of sweet potatoes, which were the same ones that were wasted in Liujia Village.
The eldest lady told us to go to Qingping Village to get sweet potato seedlings next March. The yield of sweet potatoes is 2,000 kilograms per mu, and planting two mu of land is enough for the whole family. For those families with more land, she will buy the sweet potatoes that cannot be eaten with money.
After hearing this, the people of Sanhe Village felt very regretful and said, "Baiyun, why didn't you tell us these things? If we knew, we would also want money."
How did it become his fault? Bai Yun was very angry, "Can you believe me if I tell you?"
Bai Lizheng tightened his grip on Li Mao's hand and said, "Brother Li, can you please tell the boss to return the grain and we want the silver as well?"
"Yes, yes, yes. We'll hand over the grain and you'll give us some sweet potato seedlings next year."
Li Mao pulled his hand back from Bai Lizheng's grasp and said, "Brother Bai, it's not that I don't want to help you, but none of us can change the boss's decision. If I can see the boss again, I will speak well of you and ask for some sweet potato seedlings for you."
The sweet potato seedlings will have to wait until next year, but the radish issue is right now. Bai Lizheng is extremely anxious. How can he convince Li Mao?
