Reborn peasant girl: I became rich overnight by traveling to sea

Facing the aggressive inquiries from the neighbors in front of her, Chang Pingning subconsciously took half a step back. Fortunately, Guo Bomo stood behind her and stretched out his hand to support her.

"Are you okay? Why don't you go back first?" Guo Bomo's face was full of worry. Someone like Chang Pingning who married from another village could easily become a target.

Chang Pingning shook his head at Guo Bomo.She thought simply. If she left like this, she would be easily bullied in the village in the future.

However, Chang Pingning's retreat was seen by other villagers, who thought she was scared, and cheerful voices came from the crowd in front of Guo's house.

"Bomer's wife, it's okay if you're scared. Don't worry, we are all from the same village. Whoever is standing here has watched Bomer grow up. Just admit your mistake..."

Chang Pingning listened to the arrogant talk of an aunt in front of her, and glanced at the child she was holding beside her, who looked to be about the same age as the third child of the Guo family.

I still have the nerve to say, "The people standing here have watched Guo Bomo grow up."

Thinking of this, Chang Pingning was very disdainful of the lady speaking in front of him.

"...If you ask me, Bomo's wife, don't hold on, apologize to everyone, and the family will give you one or two silver coins as compensation. From now on, let the processing business you receive be done by the elders in the village. .We won’t trouble you anymore.”

After the aunt standing at the front finished her request, her eyes turned into slits with a smile, and her face was full of wrinkles.There was a sound of praise coming from behind her, and when she heard it, she turned around and waved back.

"One tael of silver?" Chang Pingning glanced at the aunt who was speaking, "It's really easy for aunt to ask for money. She came to me for a tael of silver as soon as her upper and lower lips touched."

The aunt in the crowd said excitedly: "If you hadn't brought outsiders to catch the sea, there wouldn't be these moths. What's wrong with your money! You have to give up the seafood processing business!"

Guo Bomo said sarcastically: "My aunt is so simple. She not only wants our family's money, she also wants my wife's business."

The sound at Guo's door became louder and louder.

Sitting in the yard, the Zeng family's mother and son also heard the commotion outside. In addition to wanting to get the seafood processing business from Mrs. Guo, someone also mentioned the price of processed seafood.

Mrs. Zeng heard a price that was even higher than the current price. She was about to go out and say a few words to Chang Pingning when she saw her son asking if the seafood in the future would taste more delicious. He seemed to be a little interested in the new dishes. Tempting.

Seeing that her son was interested in the new dishes, Mrs. Zeng quickly walked out of the yard.

"Madam Guo, please don't promise them. I came here specifically to eat the seafood you cooked." Mrs. Zeng stood behind Chang Pingning, but while speaking, she looked at the group of people at the entrance of the yard.

"Since everyone wants to steal Mrs. Guo's business, you should also think carefully about whether your craftsmanship can match hers." Mrs. Zeng said, "We did not spend this money in vain."

Chang Pingning did not expect that Mrs. Zeng would actually stand up for her.

Others in the village did not expect that the noble lady in the town would like the food cooked by the eldest daughter-in-law of the Guo family.

For a moment, the people gathered at the door of Guo's house felt a little bored and dispersed one after another, heading towards their own homes.

After Chang Pingning saw the crowd surrounding him disperse, he turned around and thanked Mrs. Zeng.

Guo Bomo on the side was about to thank Mrs. Zeng when he saw Guo Songqing and several other brothers of about the same age gathered together not far from the door of his home. They seemed to be talking about something and looked in his direction warily from time to time.

Guo Bomo wanted to step forward and listen, but after seeing him coming, the group laughed and sarcastically said something like "he relies on his wife" and then dispersed.

Just when Chang Pingning thought that most of the people in the village gathered in front of her house to beg for business, it was over.Within a few days, Chang Pingning discovered that there were far fewer ladies coming to see her recently.

At first, Chang Pingning thought that the New Year was approaching and people in the town needed to prepare for the New Year. Even Guo Bomo had not had any overseas work to come to him recently because of the New Year.

Besides, even if the people in the town are rich, they can't go to their remote village to catch the sea every day.

Chang Pingning didn't think much about it. One day when she went to the port to sell a stall, she saw a familiar lady bringing her child to the stall to eat sea urchin fried rice.

Chang Ping was surprised, and after asking, he found out: It turns out that some young men in the village recently ran to the village to maliciously block the road, and wanted to take the ladies on the carriages to where they were going to sea. All they had to do was give them money.

However, this behavior was too much like robbery, and many ladies had no intention of going to Guojiacun after experiencing this.

Only then did Chang Pingning understand why fewer and fewer ladies came to see her recently.

Only the lady in front of me happened to follow her husband to the port for business, so she met Chang Pingning at the port and told Chang Pingning about this.

Chang Pingning thanked the lady in front of him gratefully. He hadn't charged her for the sea urchin fried rice, so it was given to her.

After returning to the village in the afternoon, Chang Pingning noticed that other people in the village were looking at her with evasive eyes.

Chang Pingning couldn't help but sneer in her heart: These people had the courage to stop her, but none of them had the courage to look at her.

And since they came here, no outsiders come to Guojia Village now. It's not like a few days ago, when people from nearby towns, rich or poor, would come to Guojia Village when they had free time.

Now they don't have much work to do, whether it's processing seafood or taking people to catch the sea.Because a small group of people in the village have completely blocked the people in the town from outside.

After Chang Pingning lost the job of taking people to the sea, he gradually felt that the money he had recently received was much less.

In the courtyard of the Guo family, the wind blowing around Chang Pingning, who rarely had time to relax, became leisurely.

Guo Bomo looked at his daughter-in-law's figure under the tree and felt that she was somewhat idle and melancholy.

"I saw some new things in town recently. Let's go take a look tomorrow?" Guo Bomo took the initiative to walk up to Chang Pingning.

Chang Pingning was surprised: "I have to go to the stall tomorrow..." She didn't have time tomorrow.

Guo Bomo didn't care very much: "After finishing the work at the stall in the morning? I saw a carriage and a house. Let's go to the town together?"

Although these are what Chang Pingning wanted before, Chang Pingning lost interest in them because he heard about people in the village maliciously blocking people.

"If they behave like this, there's nothing we can do, and we can't follow them and beat them up." Guo Bomo said.

Chang Pingning couldn't help laughing.

Seeing the smile on his wife's face, Guo Bomo felt that his heart became much brighter: "Don't worry, we are not the village chief, they will listen to whatever we say. Besides, even if we are the village chief, they may not always listen."

Chang Pingning listened to Guo Bomo's words nonchalantly, and then his eyes lit up.
