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

A cold wind blew through Guo's yard.

Guo Bomo's heart felt as if it had been taken out of cold water. He did not expect that his kindness would turn out to be a huge grievance from the perspective of his wife.

And he just had a temporary experience of how his wife was hiding something from him.Guo Bomo somewhat understood how his daughter-in-law felt when her family kept things hidden.

Guo Bomo hurriedly stepped forward to calm his daughter-in-law's mood, telling her that he wanted to keep it simple at first, but he just didn't want the Liu family to know from their family that the village was orchestrating their family's backstory. He had never considered Chang Pingning's mood.

After listening to Guo Bomo's words, Chang Pingning glared at Guo Bomo angrily: "If the Liu family really leaves quietly one day after the new year without telling the villagers, I won't have the chance to say goodbye to Meng Xia and Liu Qingwan."

"No." Guo Bomo answered immediately, and then felt that his wife's words seemed to imply that the Liu family was leaving. He looked at Chang Pingning curiously, "So, the rumors are true?"

Chang Pingning rolled his eyes at Guo Bomo: "No."

Then Chang Pingning walked away from Guo Bomo, ignoring Guo Bomo's questioning behind her.

In the next few days, Guojiacun basically discussed the news about the wealthy people in the town investing money. Most people had no good impression of the rich people in the town and felt that they had evil intentions.

After the village chief unified the opinions of the villagers, he went to Liu's house to call Liu Qingwan and asked her to go to the open space in the center of the village to listen to everyone's thoughts.

Meng Xia appeared in the open space in the center of the village with Liu Qingwan. The two of them also saw Chang Pingning in front of the crowd.

As soon as the villagers saw Meng Xia and Liu Qingwan, they all protested loudly against the proposal of the rich man in the town, trying to get them to refuse. Guojiacun did not accept that the rich man in the town also participated in collecting money, as long as they gave them Just use the money to catch the sea.

Speaking of other things, as far as the period after the New Year is concerned, no one from other places has come to the village, and everyone's income is not as stable as before.

Fortunately, some diligent villagers can still go to the sea by themselves and pick up some seafood to sell in the town as usual.

If all the beaches were now surrounded by wealthy people in the town, their village, which relied on the sea, would not be able to survive.

Among the villagers' shouts, not one of them agreed.

Facing everyone's protests, Meng Xia and Liu Qingwan looked at each other, and then Meng Xia stood up.

"Although everyone disagrees now, what if the rich people in the town are willing to give more money to buy your agreement?" Meng Xia asked.

The villagers hesitated and began to discuss.

When the village chief heard Meng Xia's question, he was a little moved. He happened to be standing in the center, very close, and walked up to Meng Xia and asked, "Miss Meng, how much money do the gentlemen in the town plan to give us to agree to it?"

Meng Xia smiled at the village chief: "We haven't discussed it in detail yet. Miss Liu and I want to know what everyone in the village thinks first. How much money does the village chief want?"

The village chief did not expect such a response from Meng Xia, so he was stunned and did not speak.

But the surrounding villagers started making noise again.

"You want to buy our village's beach if you give us a sum of money? What will happen to our village in the future? Will everyone survive on the previous patrol fees and sea driving fees?"

People in Guojia Village assume that the "ticket fee" for catching the sea is the "ticket fee" for catching the sea. However, the Liu family comes from the capital, so this is probably the name in the capital, and some villagers are not used to it.

"Brother Dashan, you are mistaken. The money given by outsiders who come to catch the sea will eventually be divided between the town's gentlemen and the Liu family. In our village, we can only get patrol fees." The village chief said, looking at Meng Xia, "Really, Miss Meng?"

Meng Xia nodded and added: "But don't worry, patrol fees will definitely be higher than before."

"Aren't you worried about this?" Someone in the crowd protested, "Everyone only gets the patrol fee. There will be no way to pay the village's seafood tax in the future."

"Yes, if you do this, everyone will have no money left to pay taxes."

"Forget it, forget it, let's just do it as usual after the new year. Those of us who go to the sea will go to the sea, and those who sell sea fish will sell sea fish." "That's right, that's right, you nobles, please don't disturb the tranquility of our little place. Anyway, your family If you are going to the capital after the new year, you don’t have to worry about our life or death."

"Yes, you can just go back to the capital and enjoy your glory and wealth."

"What did you say?" Liu Qingwan was shocked.She didn't understand why people in Guojiacun were suddenly talking about the Liu family's return to the capital, and subconsciously looked at Chang Pingning and Meng Xia.

Meng Xia was also shocked and looked at Chang Pingning subconsciously.

Chang Pingning noticed the gazes of the two people, and felt that there was obvious surprise in their gazes, especially in Liu Qingwan's eyes. It was as if this was the first time she had heard the news about returning to the capital, and she had never known it before. .

As for Meng Xia, it seems more like an accident?Unexpectedly, even the villagers like them knew such a strict news.

Chang Pingning couldn't understand the two people's reactions to the news of returning to the capital, but he still walked to them and explained in a low voice.

"There is this rumor in the village, but I only heard about it a few days ago. Haven't you two heard of it?" Chang Pingning said.

"Hmph." Liu Qingwan laughed contemptuously after hearing this, and whispered to Chang Pingning to explain to her later. Then she looked at everyone, "Please don't worry, our family can't leave for the time being. We have to continue to treat everyone as Neighbors for a while.”

Although Chang Pingning could feel that Liu Qingwan's contempt was not directed at her.But there was still some fear, the fear of being found out about what he had hidden.

Chang Pingning looked at Meng Xia for help, wanting to know how to deal with Liu Qingwan's anger, but found that Meng Xia was staring at Liu Qingwan, his eyes full of scrutiny and inquiry, a look that Chang Pingning couldn't understand.

After thinking about it, Chang Pingning walked towards the crowd again, but was stopped by Liu Qingwan.

"Ms. Chang, wait a minute." Liu Qingwan said, then motioned to Meng Xia with her eyes.

In Chang Pingning's view, Meng Xia became the same as before.

"Since no one wants to cooperate with the rich people in the town, then Miss Liu and I will convey this intention to you." Meng Xia said, "I wonder if you have anything else?"

"I want to ask, are you sure the Liu family won't leave after the new year?"

“When will Lady Meng’s school continue to teach us how to read?”

"When will our village go to the seaside stall to collect sea fees?"

The villagers had more and more questions, but Liu Qingwan didn't seem to want to answer, so she took a step forward.

"I want to know where the rumors in the village that our family is going back to the capital came from?" Liu Qingwan's tone was calm, but it made people shudder.

For a while, the villagers were pointing fingers at each other, saying it was the people next to them who said it. In the end, everyone said they had something to do at home and wanted to go back first.

The village chief also made excuses, saying that his grandson should be crying now and he wanted to go back to comfort the child.

For a time, only Chang Pingning, Meng Xia, and Liu Qingwan were left in the central open space of the village.

Chang Pingning stood next to the haystack near the open space, looking as if he had merged with the haystack.

And Liu Qingwan was looking coldly at the villagers who were leaving.

Meng Xia looked at the noisy crowd around him and asked softly: "Don't you want to go back to the capital?"

Liu Qingwan suddenly turned her head to look at Meng Xia.

"Who sent you?" (End of Chapter)
