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

The open space in the center of Guojia Village.

Everyone's eyes were focused on Meng Xia. They wanted to know what Meng Xia would do. The villagers did not believe the recorded quantity of processed seafood.

Meng Xia smiled: "Uncle, you just said that your family entertained more than a dozen families. But according to this book, No. 11 processed 43 seafood dishes. Your family -"

Meng Xia looked at the village chief for help.

"Guo Yonghai." The village chief whispered the name of this opposing villager.

Meng Xia nodded and looked carefully for the name on the record: "Guo Yonghai, Uncle Yonghai, it is recorded that your family processed 39 seafood..."

"I don't believe it!" Uncle Yonghai interrupted Meng Xia, "I just said that the record above was changed and was written randomly!"

Meng Xia had no choice but to point out the number of words in the line recording "Guo Yonghai" to everyone: "Look, everyone, there are no traces of alteration. - Village chief, you should also take a look." As he said this, he handed the record book to the village. Take a long look.

"Then...that's what someone wrote blindly!" Uncle Yonghai looked very excited.

"That's enough! Guo Yonghai, what are you doing here!" the village chief scolded, but he looked at Chang Pingning helplessly, with a look for help in his eyes.

According to the village chief's opinion, they were all from the village. Since Guo Yonghai was making such a fuss, he might as well just agree to what he wanted.

He said that the records were wrong, so he also wanted to increase the price of his own seafood processing.Anyway, it's from a village, and you can't see it when you look up. The worst thing is that after agreeing to his price increase, he will be asked to give more money to the village next month, which will be the same.

Meng Xia turned to look at Guo Yonghai, pretending not to see the village chief's intention to calm the matter.

"Uncle Yonghai, I said before that in order to ensure that every family in the village can understand the content of this record, I can teach the illiterate people in the village to read. But I have never seen you in the school. ——I’ve probably never seen your family before?”

Meng Xia said, moving his eyes around Guo Yonghai, wanting to see if he knew anyone.

"Mr. Meng, don't look for me. No one in his family goes to school to read." An aunt's voice came from the crowd.

Meng Xia smiled and nodded to the crowd: "Thank you, Auntie. - But Uncle Yonghai, you are telling me now that you cannot record because you are illiterate, and you do not believe other people's records. Based on your memory, you want to make the next Monthly processing fee increase.

"I can only say that it can't be done. You, the one who has no record, have come up. Who will go down among the eleven families in front who have records?" Meng Xia asked, and looked up at the crowd. Sure enough, there were four or five families who had just come up. Yes, the look he looked at Guo Yonghai was very unfriendly.

Meng Xia smiled and looked at Guo Yonghai: "Uncle Yonghai, I advise you to learn how to read next month." There was no room for change. She knew that if she agreed to this uncle today, there would be more trouble in the future. Others asked for an increase in processing fees.

"And I advise everyone, even those who are illiterate, come and learn the characters." Meng Xia amplified his voice and looked at the villagers in front of him, not letting Guo Yonghai continue to speak. "Now this is only a matter in the village. If everyone What should we do if the villagers are in trouble because of their illiteracy when it comes to important matters such as paperwork?"

Meng Xia's tone was sincere.

Chang Pingning's eyes were always fixed on Uncle Yonghai. When he saw that Uncle Yonghai had no intention of continuing to argue, the big stone in his heart fell to the ground.

There were also some voices supporting Meng Xia in the crowd. Chang Pingning saw Aunt Guangying's husband who was also persuading everyone to read, and there were also some familiar aunts.

The only dissatisfied people in the village are probably Aunt Yuhua's family.Chang Pingning looked at Aunt Yuhua and her son with some humor. Both of them looked angry and did not see Mr. You.

After the episode caused by Uncle Guo Yonghai ended, the village chief came forward and distributed one penny of silver to all the villagers. After receiving the money, everyone was so happy that they couldn't open their mouths from ear to ear.

Even Uncle Yonghai, who had some objections before, wanted to crush the silver with his teeth while no one was paying attention.

Chang Pingning noticed it and held back his smile.But there's no need to hold back your smile. Now the villagers in Guojia Village are very happy and smile with big white teeth. Chang Pingning's smile will not attract other people's attention.

"Girl Ning, you are really good at it!" Ye Xiuying held the pieces of silver in her hand and praised her eldest daughter-in-law, as if she was looking after a treasure.

The village chief looked at the festive atmosphere in front of him and felt very happy.Even though everyone would say some nice things to please him before, he himself also knew that fellow villagers would inevitably do one thing to his face and another behind his back.

This time after the villagers received the money, they all looked at him with respect.

In fact, the Liu family took the lead in enclosing the land and driving the sea, and those who were busy working outside were all members of the Liu family. He was considered to have benefited from the Liu family.

The village chief also didn't expect that those three female dolls could handle things so beautifully.He even regretted that he wasted a few days because he wanted to make money from it. If he could start earlier, he might be able to make more money.

Meng Xia let the cheerful atmosphere last for a while, and then told everyone that from now on until the Chinese New Year, the business of traveling to sea will be put on hold for the time being.On the one hand, it gives everyone time to prepare for the New Year. On the other hand, it is getting colder and fewer people are rushing to the sea.

The villagers were holding the freshly heated silver in their hands, and they thought they would be able to get it next month when they heard the news. Fortunately, they all knew that Meng Xia was right.

Besides, one penny is enough for them to live a prosperous year.Therefore, when the show was over, the villagers in Guojia Village were discussing enthusiastically what meat and vegetables they would buy for the New Year this year.

The joy of giving out money lasted for a long time in Guojia Village.

Every time Chang Pingning opened the big box in the house and touched the money bag at the bottom, he felt satisfied.

Recently, the Guo family often goes to the town or the market to buy new year's goods. Since the family got a donkey cart, Chang Pingning goes to the town much more frequently than before.

It was often Guo Bomo who drove Chang Pingning to town in a donkey cart, and the two of them returned to Guojiacun with some meat and vegetables.

Occasionally, Chang Pingning would visit cloth shops and clothing stores, hoping to buy clothes for the Guo family and her natal family.But in terms of price, as my mother-in-law said, it would be cheaper to buy cloth and then find a tailor to make clothes.

Just when Chang Pingning was about to pull some pieces of cloth to send to her parents' house, she ran into Mrs. Zeng. Behind her were two or three maids, holding many things in their hands.

Chang Pingning looked at Mrs. Zeng, who had the look of a beaded matron, and was embarrassed to come forward to say hello. Instead, Mrs. Zeng noticed her, said a few words to the maid behind her, and walked towards her.

Chang Pingning then noticed that there were not just a few maids behind Mrs. Zeng, but also five or six young boys behind her.

"Mrs. Guo, long time no see." Mrs. Zeng greeted with a smile, "That boy Haorui is always craving for the seafood in your village. It's rare that we met today. I wonder if you have time to go to our house now. ?" (End of this chapter)
