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

In the open space in the center of Guojia Village, people who are still in the village are arriving one after another.

Some young sisters-in-law are doing needlework in nearby homes, some elderly ladies have just finished watering the backyard, and some older men are walking slowly out of the house on crutches, tremblingly. Walk.

Chang Pingning noticed that almost all the people who came here now were older, and then he remembered that the slightly younger people were probably still working outside the village at the moment, and there was no way to notify them.

More and more people gathered in the open space in the center of the village, and everyone was noisy. Several older men were asking, why doesn't the village chief come?
Meng Xia waited for a while and found that no one else would come.

So he took the initiative to walk up to the center and shouted loudly: "Please calm down, everyone. I, Meng Xia, have two things I want to discuss with you."

Unexpectedly, Meng Xia's words only made everyone's questions even louder.

"Where is the village chief? Why didn't the village chief come?"

"Why are there just you little girls?"

Everyone had a look of distrust on their faces. Even the aunts who initially listened to the three of them and went to call for help had puzzled expressions on their faces and asked Chang Pingning, who was further away.

"Bomer's wife, what's going on? The village chief isn't coming?"

Being asked this way, Chang Pingning looked a little embarrassed.

She couldn't say that the village chief wanted the three of them to hand over the money to him, but the three of them didn't agree and had not reached an agreement with the village chief, so they came directly to find them, right?

Fortunately, Liu Qingwan, who was standing next to Chang Pingning, took the initiative to come to Chang Pingning's rescue.

"Auntie, what we want to discuss with you is related to the interests of the entire village. The village chief cannot make the decision alone and agrees for everyone. Then we thought of calling everyone in the village over and let everyone Let’s all listen.” Liu Qingwan said.

Unexpectedly, after hearing Liu Qingwan's words, the expectations on the faces of several nearby aunts and uncles were not as high as before. Some even offered to go back after hearing that the village chief was not coming.

More and more villagers wanted to leave. Chang Pingning and Liu Qingwan wanted to stop the people in front of them who were getting up to leave. At the same time, they looked nervously at Meng Xia, who was standing in the center, and wanted to remind Meng Xia to speak quickly, otherwise these people in front of them would People are leaving.

Meng Xia also saw that the villagers standing in the outermost circle were leaving, and she shouted loudly in front of them.

"Are you really going to leave? I want to discuss business with you, but no one wants to listen?"

Meng Xia shouted the four words "Business at sea" long and loud.

Sure enough, after Meng Xia shouted several times, the people from Guojia Village gathered around again.

"You three are not fooling us, are you?"

Meng Xia smiled at the man who asked the question: "This is how the three of us make money, how could we fool you?"

Meng Xia said, pointing to Chang Pingning who was standing aside: "Some people in the village went to make trouble in front of Mrs. Chang's house before, and we noticed that many people in the village were jealous of our sea-going business.

"In this case, instead of the three of us making money from this business, why not let us make money together with everyone!"

When Meng Xia said "let's make money together", there was a burst of cheers from the crowd in front of him.

But soon, I don’t know who said it.

"Give way, the village chief is here."

The crowd spontaneously made a way for the village chief to walk to the center of the open space.

Chang Pingning and Liu Qingwan looked at each other. Chang Pingning saw Liu Qingwan smile disdainfully and shook her head.

Both of them, including Meng Xia, guessed that the village chief must have arrived early in the morning, but he was hiding nearby and did not come out early, just to add some obstacles to the three of them for no reason.Unexpectedly, it was resolved by Meng Xia's "making money together", so he had to come out and pretend to be in charge of the overall situation.

Sure enough, as soon as the village chief walked to the center, he explained to everyone apologetically: He had something to do at home earlier and was late. He didn't expect Miss Meng to be so fast.

The implication was that he was blaming Meng Xia for starting without waiting for him.

Meng Xia smiled: "I thought of a way to make money with the villagers, so naturally I wanted to tell everyone about it earlier. But we are at your house..."

"Just tell me your plan, Miss Meng." The village chief quickly stopped Meng Xia's words. He was worried that Meng Xia would tell some old men in the village that he still had an account book that "cannot be shown to everyone."

Meng Xia actually didn't intend to say it. She knew that the village chief's account book was the best tool to use to manipulate him. If it was used too early, it would be a loss for her.

Moreover, if it is used in this situation, although it will have some influence on the village chief, it will also make the entire Guo Village become disorganized, which will not be of any benefit to what they want to do next.

Meng Xia thought clearly and did not want to overpower the village chief. Instead, she followed the village chief's words and told everyone about their two plans.

One is to enclose a piece of land on the beach near Guojiacun specifically for outsiders to catch the sea, and the accounts will be recorded by each household in the village in turn.The income is divided half among the village.

The second is that every household in the village processes seafood at a uniform price. Except for the eleven specially selected households, the processing fee can be set at a price higher than [-] cents.

After Meng Xia finished speaking, he raised his chin and looked at the people in front of him.

She thought this would be a great thing for the people in the village, but she didn't expect that everything was quiet.

After a while, voices gradually started to sound.

Some old men didn't understand and wanted the village chief to say it again; some aunts were quiet, but their expressions were a little confused; some sisters-in-law frowned and repeated what Meng Xia had said to the elders in the narration, and from time to time there were old men rebutting.

The village chief looked at the scene in front of him and glanced at Meng Xia proudly. His eyes passed over Chang Pingning and finally stopped on Liu Qingwan.

Chang Pingning felt awkward being looked at by the village chief like this, so he turned his head away impatiently.

Liu Qingwan heard people nearby asking what it meant, and took the initiative to explain to the people around her.

Meng Xia, who was standing in the middle of the open space, looked at everything in front of him and asked loudly again.

"What is unclear to everyone? I can say it again to make it easier for everyone to understand."

Unexpectedly, the villagers only raised their heads and glanced at Meng Xia when they heard Meng Xia speak.

After Meng Xia finished speaking, they gathered together again to discuss.

The village chief next to him smiled proudly at Meng Xia: "It's better for me to explain to them."

Then, Chang Pingning heard the village chief say the same words as Meng Xia, and the content was almost exactly the same.

Everyone in Guojia Village seemed to have listened carefully and looked towards the center of the field.

Meng Xia wanted them to ask if they had any questions, but to their surprise, they kept looking at the village chief.

Meng Xia had no choice but to ask the village chief to come forward.

"If you have any questions, just ask the village chief directly." Meng Xia said very loudly, almost like shouting.
