The evil sister is in charge, and the mother is getting married

Chapter 110 "Wanqiu girl, can I ask what you want to use the pond for?
What the head of the village said was not a lie, and Sheng Wanqiu naturally knew it. Their Qingshan Village had a very good geographical advantage. It was backed by the Daqing Mountain, and there was a river formed by the confluence of mountain streams not far from the village. They usually went to that river to wash clothes.

The pond at the entrance of the village is not particularly large, only about 500 square meters. During droughts, the surrounding fields are irrigated with water from the pond, so there is really no say in the matter.

"Okay, then I'll trouble you, Uncle Li Zheng. If it works, I'll definitely reward you handsomely. If it doesn't, forget it. I'll go to my eldest aunt's village and buy their pond, and it'll be the same!"

"I originally thought that if I succeeded, I would bring Brother Dashan and Sister Yinye to make money together. If not, it's just not fate, there's nothing I can do!"

As soon as Sheng Wanqiu finished speaking, the eldest son and his wife of the village head began to get anxious. They all knew that Sheng Wanqiu could make money, and it was obvious that she was here to help them make money. They hoped that their father would not be so stubborn and disagree, otherwise the huge amount of money would really become someone else's.

Even the wife of the village head began to worry, fearing that her husband would make a mistake, and quietly pulled the village head's sleeve.

"Wanqiu girl, can I ask what you want to use the pond for?"

"Now that I have found out, I can talk to the elders."

The head of the village slapped his wife's hand away without leaving a trace. He knew what his family was thinking and he also wanted to make the money, but it would be better to ask clearly to be on the safe side.

"Uncle, aunt, look, this is why I bought the pond!"

Sheng Wanqiu took out five pearls of different colors from her pocket and placed them on the dining table at the headman's house. She had prepared this and was just waiting for the headman to ask.

"To be honest, Shopkeeper Jiang and I are planning to raise pearl oysters together. I'm going to study the day after tomorrow and will probably be back in about five days."

"Manager Jiang provides the money, I provide the technology, and then I need people to help with management. Naturally, I have to find people from the village to help with management. I think Brother Dashan and Sister Yinye are suitable candidates."

"Cleaning the pond also requires manpower, so the wages will naturally not be small."

The headman and his family all stared at the five pearls, secretly surprised. Although Sheng Wanqiu was young, she was very capable. Cultivating pearls was something they had never dared to think about.

"Okay! I'll ask for you right now and I'll definitely help you get this done!"

The village head stood up and was about to leave, but was stopped by Sheng Wanqiu.

"Uncle Lizheng, don't be anxious. Just listen to what I have to say first."

"First of all, if you sell this pond to me, it will belong to me alone. You can't use it for irrigation or anything like that, because it's my private property."

"As compensation, I paid for a well to be dug at the east and west ends of the village for irrigation during the dry season."

"Of course, if someone refuses to listen and still insists on destroying the safety of my pond, I have the right to bring them to justice. There should be no problem with that, right?"

Sheng Wanqiu likes to say ugly things upfront to avoid trouble later when people will say she didn't make it clear before.

"It's natural. Since you've spent money, it all belongs to you. Others have no right to draw water from your pond. That's definitely not okay!"

"Don't worry, I will explain this matter clearly! Just wait for my good news!" The head of the village patted his chest and promised!
"Then I would like to thank the head of the village first!"

"I won't bother you anymore. I'll give these pearls to Aunt and Sister Yinye to play with. Goodbye!"

Sheng Wanqiu left immediately after she finished speaking, not wanting to say anything more. If it worked, it worked. If it didn't, she wouldn't force it. She still had a backup option: the pond in her aunt Sheng Chunhua's village. It was just more convenient here. When the time was right, she could go to her aunt's house and build another one.

When Sheng Wanqiu returned home, she was pulled into the house by Mrs. Sheng and the door was carefully closed.

"Go ahead! I'm all ears and want to see if you can tell a story!" Mrs. Sheng sat down on the chair. She wanted to hear the origin of this pearl.

"Grandma, you're being too serious. I'm starting to get nervous!"

Sheng Wanqiu brought out Shopkeeper Jiang and said that they wanted to cooperate in raising pearl oysters. These river oysters from which pearls were dug out were given to her by Shopkeeper Jiang and were the test subjects of a previous successful experiment.

Then she also told him that she would be leaving for Yaocheng the day after tomorrow. Of course, she didn't say that she was going to help adjust the recipe of braised meat, but she said that she was going to learn the technology of cultivating pearl oysters.

She also told him about how she had just gone to the village head to buy the big pond in the village.

She thought that she would tell Xiao Du later and ask him not to let anything slip and not to accidentally tell about buying river clams in the morning.

"What? You're going to Yaocheng?"

"Then I'll go with you! I'm worried about you, a girl, going so far!"

Mrs. Sheng's focus was completely diverted, and she didn't doubt Sheng Wanqiu's words at all.

"Grandma, you are still needed to take charge of the rear area. You can't run around!"

"After the pond is settled, I need to clean it, find someone to weave bamboo baskets, and I need hemp ropes. I plan to have you help me complete each of these tasks."

"If you follow me to Yaocheng, I won't trust these things to anyone else. I'll just take Da Du with me. You can just keep an eye on these things for me."

This was what Sheng Wanqiu had planned. Da Du was rather honest and easy to fool. She was experienced and it would take some effort to fool him, but she was too lazy to use her brain.

"It will take a day to get to Yaocheng, and another day to come back, and that's all based on the speed of the carriage. And you're studying, so it will definitely take four or five days. How can I be at ease?"

When Mrs. Sheng heard that her granddaughter had arranged so many things for her, and that she had three grandsons at home, she knew that she really couldn't leave, but she was also worried about her granddaughter's safety when she went away.

"Grandma, don't worry! Shopkeeper Jiang arranged for me to go with his delivery team. It's very safe!"

"Besides, are you still worried about my strength? If I don't cause trouble to others, even if I am honest, who would dare to attack me?"

After Sheng Wanqiu finished speaking, she raised her arms, with a hint of banditry on her face, as if she was ready to fight as soon as she went out, which made Mrs. Sheng laugh.

That's true. Her granddaughter is indeed a powerful one. There is no need to worry about these things. Anyone who provokes her will always be tormented by her and lose half their life. Just look at the mother and daughter of the Bai family.

"Okay! Then you take Da Du with you, so I can feel more at ease. This girl is honest, and if a fight really breaks out, we'll have an extra helper!" Mrs. Sheng finally gave in.
