Chapter 126 No One Is Begging You
There was booing going on in the temple. Old Qian couldn't stand it anymore and shouted, "What are you booing for? Gu Xixi hasn't even finished her words yet. Let's see how capable you are!"
A bold young man laughed and said, "Uncle Qian praises Gu Xixi so much, isn't it because he wants to make a lot of money with her? I'm afraid that if he doesn't make any money, he will have to lose all his family assets!"
Amidst the laughter, the old bachelor in the village shouted, "What future can you have by following a woman? She's a spendthrift woman! Anyone who listens to her is a fool!"
Mu Nanzhao looked at the old bachelor with cold eyes.
The old bachelor was enjoying the rare attention of the whole village, and he didn't notice the dangerous gaze at all.
"Women are women, just take care of your own family. You can't run such a big stall!"
Shi Tou was getting angry when he suddenly received a cold glance from Mu Nanzhao.
It was like a flash of lightning, a sudden enlightenment.
Shitou sprinted forward a few steps, pointed at the old bachelor and cursed, "Who are you calling the spendthrift woman? You are the spendthrift! You are old, your house is leaking and you have no money to fix it, you can't have meat to eat during the New Year, and you still have the nerve to look down on my sister Xixi!"
Gou Wa and Shi Tou stood together, making faces at the old bachelor, "That's right! What's wrong with being a woman? Tell us, are you better at making money than my aunt Xixi, or are you better at farming than my aunt Xixi? Otherwise, no woman would bother with you, and even matchmakers would avoid your house!"
Shitou folded his arms and nodded, "This kind of person is what the gentleman said, he is incompetent at everything he does, and he looks down on this and that day by day."
Gou Wa helped add, "The teacher said that this is called being too ambitious, having high aspirations but poor skills, and is the ultimate waste."
The old bachelor's face had turned red.
He was so angry that his whole body was shaking. He kicked the ground hard with his bow legs and rushed towards Gou Wa and Shi Tou.
"Who taught you to talk to adults like that? I'm going to teach you two little bastards a lesson today!"
How could Shitou and Gou Wa be so stupid as to stand there and suffer?
Without waiting for the old bachelor to come over, the two of them ran away.
Shitou ran while laughing and shouting, "Besides being useless, you are also ugly! I'm not talking about your ugly appearance, but your ugly heart! You just can't stand seeing others doing better than you!"
The old bachelor was almost mad with rage. He was panting and his eyes were blazing with anger as he chased and beat the two children in the yard.
The adults present laughed continuously and no one stood up for the old bachelor.
It was a bit hurtful for the two kids to sing the same tune, but what they said was true. We have lived in the same village for many years, so everyone knows each other!
The reason why the old bachelor is the only one in the village is because he has too many bad habits.
He is unwilling to work on the farm properly. He is lucky if he can work in the fields one day out of three days.
He was unwilling to take care of his home. Ever since his mother passed away, his yard had become almost like a pigsty. When the weather got warm, mosquitoes and flies came here, and his neighbors suffered from it.
He hangs around all day, likes to flirt and take advantage of others, and his mouth is always annoying.
Gu Xixi nudged Mrs. Qin and asked, "Shouldn't we take care of it?"
Mrs. Qin almost couldn't hold back her laughter several times, and whispered, "What are you afraid of? Anyway, these two brats won't suffer any loss, just think of them as warming up the scene for you."
At this time, everyone was busy watching the fun and no one was booing.
There were several other kids present, all of whom were good classmates at the village school.
How can you bear to see an old bachelor chasing after you?
The old bachelor stretched out his arm and was about to grab Gou Wa's back.
Just as he was grinning with a look of vicious success, someone quietly stretched out his legs from the crowd.
With a scream, the old bachelor fell forward and fell flat on his face.
The villagers clapped and laughed again. They felt that today's excitement was a good thing!
By the time the old bachelor struggled to stand up and started cursing, there was no sign of his children.
The excitement was over for the time being. Mr. Gu closed his mouth and turned his attention to Gu Xixi.
"The village chief said you were going to do good things for everyone."
"Then why can't you guarantee that you will do what you say? Isn't this cheating people?"
"Fortunately, no one was fooled by you. Otherwise, we would not be implicated by you. All of us with the surname Gu would not be able to hold our heads up high in the village!"
Mrs. Qin snorted coldly and said, "You can guarantee a bumper harvest every year when you farm the land yourself, without drought, waterlogging or insect pests? How can you be so unreasonable after living for most of your life?"
Master Gu Er looked unhappy and said, "Gou Wa's mother, you are going too far."
Mrs. Qin always looked down on such people. "What am I saying that is wrong? Please enlighten me!"
Master Gu couldn't say it.
Mrs. Qin rolled her eyes and continued, "Xixi didn't ask for money. She lent us the saplings and taught us how to plant them. She also guaranteed that there would be other outputs in the fields before the trees bore fruit."
"In the end, you only want the benefits, but you are not willing to take any risks. There is no such good thing in the world! You still want to make money? Eat your ass."
Mr. Gu's face was blue and red, and he looked stern and didn't say a word.
Lao Qian gave Mrs. Qin a thumbs up and said loudly, "If you want to listen, be quiet. If you don't want to listen, leave now!"
"Xixi, please continue."
Gu Xixi faced everyone with a faint smile on her face, neither anxious nor impatient.
"I have made it clear what I need to say. If you want to do it, do it. If you don't want to do it, forget it."
Old Qian had strained his throat today and was drinking water. When he heard this, he spit out water all over the floor.
The villagers thought that Gu Xixi would give some advice or list some more benefits to convince everyone.
Who knew it was just a matter of whether you like it or not? !
Mrs. Qin laughed and said, "Let me make it clear that my family has decided to follow Xixi's lead."
Old Qian barely stopped coughing and raised his hand to signal, "There's me too."
Everyone looked at each other, and a few more villagers began to waver.
"You said she was so stubborn, could it be possible that growing fruit trees could really make money?"
"Even someone as smart as Lao Qian is following suit, so it seems like there are real benefits."
Gu Xixi was too lazy to listen to what these people were discussing. She finally said in a deep voice, "Anyone who wants to plant trees should come to my house to sign the deed, the day after tomorrow at the latest. No one will be accepted after the deadline."
It's that simple, why complicate it?
After Gu Xixi finished speaking, she was about to leave without even looking back.
Master Gu rolled his eyes, quickly stopped him, and said, "I've thought it through. My ancestors have been growing crops for generations, so I'll still grow crops."
"Since Xixi wants to do good things for the village, why don't you tell everyone your secret recipe for growing corn?"
This statement caused the crowd to stir again, and people whispered and nodded in agreement.
Gu Xixi stopped, looked around, and a sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth.
"Why?"
Quiet.
Gu Xixi asked back, "Or, if I tell you how to increase corn production, what can you give me?"
"I probably never said that if I wanted to do something good for the village, I would have to suffer at my own expense, right?"
Damn old man, deliberately said it in front of so many people, trying to blackmail people? Dream on!
