After packing their bags, Jiang Tietou and his family happily left Dashui Village the next day, heading off towards what they considered a good life.
*
More than half a month passed by unhurriedly, and today was the auspicious day for Jiang Wanwan's family to move.
On this day, to express their gratitude, each household invited two people to their housewarming celebration. This did not include the families of Jiang Dali and Jiang Dayong.
All the elderly people in the village were invited over for a housewarming celebration.
Jiang Wanwan's family spared no expense on this meal.
There were five tables set up in total, with four dishes on each table: two meat dishes and two vegetable dishes, plus flatbreads made from a mixture of wheat flour and cornmeal.
This display of power was absolutely unprecedented in Dashui Village. So much so that many years later, whenever someone recalls this event, they still lick their lips and sigh with admiration.
The house is also the widest, largest, and brightest in the entire village.
It's the envy of many.
From then on, each of the five sons of the Jiang family had their own room.
Each room now has matching wardrobes, tables and chairs, as well as dressing tables, desks and other furniture, no longer as bare as before.
Jiang Wanwan felt very safe and secure living in her own spacious house. She no longer had to worry about waking up in the rain.
Moreover, she no longer had to worry about slipping into the latrine when using the outhouse. She had improved the old outhouse, transforming it into a modern bathroom...
The old house was converted into a workshop specializing in mosquito coil production.
During this period, many merchants, including Boss Bai and Zhen Duoqian, placed large orders for mosquito coils. The Jiang family alone couldn't possibly fulfill all the orders, so Jiang Wanwan decided to hire two people from each household in the village to help make the mosquito coils.
Wages were still paid at 15 cash per day.
This made the villagers of Dashui Village extremely happy.
They thought that once Old Jiang's house was built, the family would lose an income source. But who knew that they would now hire people to help make mosquito coils? From now on, every household will have an extra thirty coins a day.
How could anyone be unhappy about this?
Thanks to the Jiang family, in these times when other villages are short of food, every household in Dashui Village has surplus grain, enough to last for two or three months.
When the potatoes in the field are ripe, we won't have to worry about food for the second half of the year.
For this, the villagers of Dashui Village were very grateful to the Jiang family, especially Jiang Wanwan.
While the villagers of Dashui were enjoying a carefree and joyful atmosphere, the families of Jiang Dali and Jiang Dayong were having a miserable time.
The two families had almost no food left, and could only afford one meal a day of thin, watery porridge.
Before long, even the thin, watery porridge will be too much to eat.
The two families disliked each other, often cursed at each other, and even frequently fought.
The village chief, seeing this, didn't bother with the two families of Jiang Dali and Jiang Dayong. He'd let these two wicked families fight it out; as long as they stopped their petty theft, he'd pretend he hadn't seen anything.
The next morning, a group of tall and strong men arrived at Dashui Village, led by Xiao Hei, a thug from the town's money exchange.
The villagers of Dashui Village looked at Xiao Hei, whose face was full of menacing energy, with fear and apprehension. Why was this evil spirit here again?
Could it be that he brought Boss Bai to find Wan Yatou?
But didn't Boss Bai just recently visit Wan Yatou?
Could it be that Xiao Hei has come to collect a debt this time?
