Dressed as a vicious old lady, she transformed her whole family into farming

One sentence stunned everyone.

Sure enough, looking through a layer of reeds on the shore, there were several figures hiding among them, secretly digging for horse hooves without even lighting a torch.

But this shout also startled the people who were digging the horseshoes.

There was a pop, and it sounded like someone had fallen into the water.

Lin Wan hurriedly said: "Someone has fallen into the water. They don't have torches yet. Go and have a look."

The village chief didn't want to cause trouble now, so he took a few people there.

The firelight illuminated the appearance of several people, and the village chief frowned: "Okay, you guys from Lotus Village actually sneaked into our village."

Several people looked panicked and saw more people coming around. They were at a loss for a moment. They seemed unable to get their feet stuck in the mud, and they were swaying as if they were about to fall.

The village chief looked in his heart and became even more annoyed: "Some of you have fallen into the water, why don't you hurry up and save them?"

Seeing a splashing person splashing behind them, the village chief spoke to urge them.

Several people in Lianhua Village calmed down and hurriedly turned around to fish the person out.

"This mountain belongs to Zhangjiacun. You can come here as long as you come, but you can't take the food with you, so hurry up and leave."

The village chief looked at the wet people and issued an order to expel them without ceremony.

One of the tall, strong men wanted to argue, but was stopped by one of the lean men, who raised his eyes to signal him to look at the people in Zhangjiacun.

Seeing that almost the entire village of Zhangjiacun had arrived, the tall and strong man also stopped talking.

A few people didn't say anything, turned around and left.

The village chief had measured the size of the pond alone before and had some idea of ​​the horse hoof production here. He did not ask anyone to measure again and directly gave the order.

"Let's do it sooner rather than later. Let the water go out first."

A group of men swarmed up, opened a few openings on the lower slope of the pond, and used nets to block the bottom. Maybe they could catch some fish.

After waiting for the water to drain for a long time, although there was still some water in the pond, it did not have any impact. People in the village went to the ground one after another.

Lin Wan watched the boys digging vigorously and wanted to go, but was stopped by Zhang Goudan: "Mom, just hold the torch. Don't leave any hidden injuries on your body."

Lin Wan didn't insist and just waited on the shore, which made the eldest lady working in the pond a little jealous.

If only they had such capable and filial sons.

The food had been discovered, so the guys didn't relax for a moment. Even if there were blisters on their hands and there were locusts on their legs, they just slapped them away with the sole of their shoes and continued digging.

It was not until noon the next day that the horseshoes in the pond were almost finished.

"It looks like there are none," Lin Wan said while eating the steamed buns sent by Zhao Cuixi and wandering around.

He waved to a few boys who were reluctant to come up in the pond: "Come up to eat, it's nothing, I'll go back after eating."

"Okay," the boys were obedient, pulling them up one by one, washing their hands and eating. Several backpacks at home were piled up, and there was a pile next to them.

It looks like two hundred pounds is there.

A lot of fish were caught at the drainage outlet, which was an unexpected surprise. The village chief divided the fish according to accounts. The fish in the river at the entrance of the village were almost extinct.

Seeing that some people were taking a break, others were taking a break one after another.

The village chief called everyone up, threw some horseshoes, loaches, and small fish in, and arranged for people to block the previous drainage outlet.

The species cannot be exterminated.

Everyone took a rest and prepared to leave.

But the village chief stopped everyone: "Everyone, wait."

The village chief is a highly respected person and there is nothing the village does not listen to. "There are still a few childless households in our village, and there are also some who are alone in the world. There are five households in total. After all, they are also people from Zhangjia Village. We have a total of 22 capable households here. Each household We all contribute twelve kilograms of grain and divide it among these households, so each family can share about fifty kilograms."

The village chief's serious eyes swept over everyone present. This was a common practice in the village, so naturally no one had any objections.

Lin Wan asked Zhang Goudan to take about twelve or three kilograms of grain. If he took too much and others took less, he would be resented in comparison.

Lin Wan shouldn't be such a standout.

After moving the food back home and helping the village chief deliver food to five households, the boys collapsed at home from exhaustion.

"Take a shower before going to bed." Zhao Cuixi had already boiled hot water at home.

After soaking in hot water, several boys became sleepy. After a deep sleep, they felt that their muscles and bones were more active.

At dawn the next day, Lin Wan cut the meat into slices, cut the water chestnuts into slices, and fried them together.

The scent woke up the people lying on the bed.

Their stomachs were already empty, waiting for the food to come out of the pot, holding the hot steamed buns and devouring them hungrily.

"Mom, this stir-fry is so delicious!" Zhang Xiaoshan wiped the soup in the bowl with the steamed bun, stuffed the steamed bun into his mouth, and said vaguely.

"Eat slowly," Lin Wan rubbed his bulging face.

As soon as Lin Wan put down the bowl and chopsticks in his hands, someone called out in the yard: "Sister-in-law of the Zhang family, the village chief wants to discuss matters with the villagers."

"Hey, here we come." Lin Wan responded quickly and came to the yard to see Zhang Lixin, the village chief's youngest son.

"Sister-in-law Zhang, it's at the entrance of the village. You can take your brothers there." Zhang Lixin said politely, "I have to go to the next house, so I'll leave first."

"it is good."

Several boys also heard Zhang Lixin's words and went without any further delay.

By the time Lin Wan and his family arrived, many people had already arrived.

After waiting for a while, the village chief nodded, put away the cigarette in his hand, stepped on a higher stone and said, "I'm calling everyone here today because of what happened last night."

"Horse hooves? Aren't they all dug up? What should be divided has been divided, what else can happen?"

"I don't know. Let's listen to the village chief."

"That stuff is quite delicious."

The anxious ones have already started talking.

The village chief coughed twice and the discussion stopped: "Last night I was worried, so I called a few young people to look around the village. Unexpectedly, I found people from Lianhua Village who came up to dig food last night at the entrance of the village. .”

"What! Didn't they leave?"

"You must have no good intentions if you hang around our village."

"You don't want to rob me!"

"Quiet," the village chief said in a deep voice: "I asked in detail, they just said that the hoes fell on the mountain, I gave them two handfuls and sent them away. They will definitely come again, and the goal must be food for every household! "

"Then what should we do? Only those who commit a thief for a thousand days cannot guard against thieves for a thousand days." Mrs. Li said anxiously.

"Yes, so our village has to be patrolled every night! The patrolmen come from every house! They form teams according to the number of people and take turns to work!"

The village chief was straightforward.

The villagers hesitated. The patrol team would definitely need strong men from home, which would definitely have an impact on the family's digging of wild vegetables and food storage.

The village chief looked at the silent crowd and said, "If you don't want to, it's better to send the food directly to Lianhua Village instead of waiting for others to snatch it." (End of Chapter)
