In the past, in the eyes of these villagers, being alive was the most important thing.

When they were alive, they had something to eat and something to wear, which was the greatest happiness.

But what about now?

When they thought of Gu Yanzhang's family, who had become a wealthy family after raising pigs and could eat pork every day, they were envious all day long...

As the saying goes, the poor are the most vicious.

The poorer the family is, the more uncomfortable they will feel when they see people in the same village or their relatives living a good life.

People with bad character and vicious minds may even feel hatred.

Some darker people may even think in their hearts, "If I can't live a good life, others can't live a good life either!"

"Why can his family eat meat every day? Why can't I?" If their

minds are a little more unbalanced, they will go to extremes.

They would steal at night.

If they couldn't steal, they would break into other people's homes and rob.

If they couldn't rob, they would think, "I might as well kill their whole family!"

They always felt that if they killed the whole family of those who lived a better life, they would be able to live a better life...

However, as early as last winter when the sausages were just made, Chen Xuanxuan asked Gu Yanzhang to take dozens of kilograms of sausages and send them to her mother's house.

She took out dozens of kilograms of sausages and went directly to the county town to find Captain Huang's home.

Captain Huang was old, and he had seen the world. He thought that he had lived to this age and had tasted all kinds of delicacies.

He ate everything he could find, including flying things in the sky, swimming things in the water, and running things on the ground.

However, when the stir-fried sausage entered his mouth, he felt something amazing and unusual.

This thing smelled so good! It was

completely different from the pork he usually ate!

You know, in their place, the pork cooked in many hotels, no matter how much seasoning is added, as long as it enters the mouth, the sensitive diners can feel a faint smell of savory.

But the sausage he ate had no such smell at all!

So, Captain Huang, who was excited to see the prey, presented all the dozens of pounds of sausages he had on hand to the county magistrate.

The county magistrate who lived in seclusion was actually a glutton who loved to eat and play.

When he got such a good thing, he praised it endlessly.

The county magistrate and Captain Huang never got tired of eating sausage rice every day. They

had been eating it for a whole winter, but if they didn't eat it for a few days, they would miss it in their hearts.

Captain Huang had no choice. At the beginning of this spring, he sent his housekeeper to drive a donkey cart to Gu Yanzhang's house.

He asked Chen Xuanxuan to buy 200 kilograms of sausages.

Moreover, they had agreed that her family would send dozens of kilograms of sausages to the yamen every half a month. The county magistrate would definitely not let them down in terms of money.

However, every time Gu Yanzhang delivered dozens of kilograms of sausages to the county government, he did not take the money. Instead, he repeatedly said that this was a gift from a common man like him to honor the great Lord.

As a result, Gu Yanzhang, who sold sausages, also made a good impression on the county magistrate.

Gu Yanzhang was clear-headed.

He felt that as long as he, a common man, had a good impression on the county magistrate, it would be more convenient for him to go to the county magistrate to ask for help in the future.

What's more, he had a relative named Huang!

With Huang's help in pleading, he would not have to worry about not being able to grow crops on the swampland upstream of Xiaoyue River in the future.

…

People in the surrounding villages of Gujiagang now know that the pigs raised by Gu Yanzhang’s family are basically raised for the county magistrate.

Because the sausages produced by his family are basically sent to the county government!

Some idle people with ulterior motives always thought that this was a rumor at first.

It was Gu Yanzhang who was lying.

However, they often followed Gu Yanzhang and his friends. They

found that every time they went to the county government to deliver sausages, they were not allowed to enter the door of the backyard of the county government.

After the things were taken away by several gatekeepers, Gu Yanzhang didn’t even get a big money.

Combined with what they heard and saw, those who originally wanted to do some stealing and looting finally gave up the idea.

Because they were thinking in their hearts, if Gu Yanzhang's family really raised pigs for the county magistrate, and he secretly instructed the Gu family to make sausages.

Then, once these people started to rob, or even kill Gu Yanzhang's family, the county magistrate would definitely be the first to not spare them.

After all, blocking someone's money is like killing their parents.

If the county magistrate has been using the Gu family to make sausages to make money for himself, then they are running into his knife.

Here, everyone knows the saying that has been passed down through the ages.

That is, "The prefect who ruins the family, the county magistrate who destroys the family."

No matter what, the county magistrate is an official!

They are much better than the powerless common people like them.

They can't even afford to offend the ordinary runners in the government office. Not to mention the unusually noble county magistrate.

What's more, Gu Yanzhang married a good wife.

His wife's family is related to Huang, the head of the police in the government office...

Based on various considerations, those who are ready to make a move on Gu Yanzhang's family still dare not make a move.

After all, they are also people with families and fields.

Here, once a person commits a heinous crime, his relatives will be punished as well.

...

Chen Xuanxuan, who hides at home every day, has no idea that her family has helped her a lot invisibly.

If her family had not had some connections with the government, just because her family raised so many fat pigs and earned so much money,... people in and outside the village who were jealous would have taken action against them long ago.

Either by robbery, or by stealing.

Or by murder.

...

Chen Xuanxuan ate a bowl of steaming glutinous rice chicken this morning.

Her family was lucky yesterday.

Gu Yanzhang caught seven or eight rice chickens in that field.

Chen Xuanxuan had never heard of this kind of chicken before. Not to mention eating it.

Gu Yanzhang roasted the chicken himself and handed it to her, and then she knew about these chickens.

Because this kind of chicken is too small. The legs are too long. There is not much meat on the body.

However, its bones are crispy and delicious.

After finishing breakfast with satisfaction, Chen Xuanxuan was in a particularly good mood.

She asked with concern, "Boss, didn't you tell me yesterday that your cousins' families have built new houses?"

"What's the matter? Are they planning to find a wife for their son?"

Gu Yanzhang listened, smiled and nodded.
