During famine years, I had a divination slip in hand, and my whole family ate chicken, duck, fish, a

"Giggle giggle..."

Ye Guangliang shook his head with difficulty, his face turning a deep purplish-red, as if his neck was about to break.

If you're going to fight, then fight. Can't you at least put some air on it?

He raised his arm to hit, but the force on his neck suddenly increased, and he felt a buzzing in his head, his vision went black, and he knelt on the ground with a thud.

"You're too kind, Uncle Guang?"

Ye Qingqing glanced at him, then smiled sweetly at Ye Dazhuang, "Brother Dazhuang, killing someone is not good... half-dead is enough."

Ye Guangliang, "..."

I think I'm kind of dead already...

That old bastard village head, he was all talk and no action when he was trying to fool him, but the moment he kicked the steel plate, he didn't utter a single word!

"Uncle Village Head, may I ask if my analogy is correct?"

Ye Qingqing turned to the village head, arms crossed, "Could you please explain this to me?"

"Cough cough..."

The village head's face turned ashen, and he frowned deeply, not daring to utter a sound.

You brat, I was wondering why you agreed to provide grain and silver so readily back then!

So that's what they were trying to do to me!

"It's just a piece of paper with fingerprints on it, no writing! You're saying your people are hired, so what?"

The village headwoman couldn't hold back any longer and said sarcastically, "I could have said we were helping you build a woodshed! What does building a woodshed have to do with hunting wolves, don't you all agree?"

"Tsk!"

The village head's heart skipped a beat. He quickly glared at her, "You idiot, what business is it of yours? Get the hell out of here!"

"Hahaha... Auntie has finally hit the nail on the head."

Ye Qingqing was just waiting for this question, but the village head didn't answer. Instead, his wife said it for him: "Then let's open your eyes."

With a flick of her slender fingers, she knocked off a piece of Xuan paper that was tightly attached to the back of the original paper, revealing the back side of the handprint, which she then thrust in front of the village head's nose.

"Uncle Village Head, can you read? Look at this, what is it?"

The village head couldn't help but gasp, and after reading a few words, his face fell instantly.

"Employer: Ye Youliang"

Employees: Based on the worker's fingerprint.

Witnesses: Village head of Kaoshantun and all villagers of Kaoshantun.

Young men and women from Kaoshantun were temporarily employed by Ye Youliang's family to form a wolf-prevention team to guard the village and fight wolves. Ye's family provided lunch and dinner, and each person was paid 50 copper coins per day.

All prey harvested during the anti-wolf period will be solely owned by Ye Youliang and will not be related to anyone else. Those who press their fingerprints agree to this condition.

Note: If any member of the anti-wolf team suffers injury or death, it is their personal responsibility and they must bear the consequences themselves. The host may provide moral compensation at their discretion. Those who press their fingerprints are considered to have agreed to this condition.

If there is any dispute, this shall serve as a covenant.

Date: Year of Jiazi, Month of Yiwei, Day of Bingshen.

When we registered and put our fingerprints on the form, there was a blank sheet of paper on the back, so we could write whatever we wanted.

It's just that she was kind-hearted and didn't write the paper as a contract of servitude to sell herself to the old Burmese!

We're just giving them a brief glimpse into the harsh realities of society; otherwise, things could get really interesting!

The village head readily agreed to her father's request that the wolf he hunted belong to him. But since words are not enough, Ye Qingqing wrote down all the conditions she could think of, just in case he didn't keep his word.

"Village head, what does it say here?"

Seeing his face turn even blacker than the bottom of a pot, Ye Laolan leaned over and asked anxiously.

"Get lost!"

The village head, seething with resentment and nowhere to vent, kicked Ye Laolan in the chest, sending him sprawling to the ground, cursing under his breath.

"All you do is cause trouble all day long, you worthless piece of trash! You're nothing!"

Old Ye tumbled to the ground, writhing in pain as he clutched his stomach.

"Ouch, oh my god, that hurts so much! Village head, what are you doing? Didn't you call me...?"

A piercing gaze shot over, and the village head raised his foot to kick him again.

"What nonsense are you spouting! I'll kick you to death, you little bastard..."

"No, no, I didn't say anything!"

Old Ye scrambled to his feet, clutching his head, and ran faster than a rabbit.

We've missed out on getting a good deal. If we don't run now, the village head might kick us to death!

"Uncle Village Head, I remember you promised my father that if you killed a wolf, it would belong to my family. Do you still keep your word?"

Ye Qingqing looked at the village head with a half-smile, "If you still hold any authority, please tell everyone to stop coveting my few wolf skins."

Li Zhengqi's face turned green with anger. His lips twitched, and he squeezed out a few words, "It's settled. The wolf is yours."

After saying that, he turned and walked away dejectedly.

"Second Girl, you're really something!"

His wife glared at Ye Qingqing fiercely, then quickly followed after her.

"Pah! It's no good!"

Li Chunyan spat in satisfaction, clutching her pounding heart to catch her breath, and said to Ye Dazhuang,

"My goodness, I was so scared just now I almost choked!"

Our second daughter is really amazing, otherwise we would have lost a fortune!

Ye Dali chuckled foolishly.

"I told you, Second Sister, we can't let our family suffer. Why are you in such a hurry?"

"You think you know everything!"

Li Chunyan pinched his arm, making him howl in pain, louder than a wolf.

Those who pressed their fingerprints on the paper were all initially there for the fifty coins' wages. But when they saw the writing on the back that they didn't recognize, they all panicked and started asking questions all at once.

"Second Girl, what's written on this? We're all uneducated bumpkins, you can't be trying to fool us!"

"You're not thinking of not paying my wages, are you?"

"Yes, we've been freezing here most of the night. We've certainly put in the effort, even if we haven't done anything particularly meritorious!"

"Putting everything else aside, at least when the wolves came, everyone fought them off!"

……

When we were putting our fingerprints on the paper, we were only thinking about making money off them. Nobody knew there were words written on the back of the paper!

Moreover, Er Ya Tou said that she would pay him by pressing his handprint, and those guys, blinded by the promise of 50 copper coins, were scrambling to press their handprints.

Now that they've produced a written agreement, everyone feels like they've been tricked by this girl, but no one dares to mention it or ask any questions!

Ye Qingqing glanced at the group of people who had joined in the commotion to divide the money, raised an eyebrow indifferently, read the words on the paper to them, and sneered.

"It's okay to be blind, as long as your heart isn't blind. Don't worry, my family doesn't need your 50 yuan wages. Tomorrow, my family will kill and skin a wolf. If anyone is free, don't forget to come and lend a hand. We'll stew wolf meat for dinner later."

As soon as he finished speaking, those who had started the commotion immediately wilted more than the radishes in the cellar.

They tried to take advantage but failed, and even got scolded by Er Ya. Who would have the face to eat wolf meat at that place?

But Uncle Shuanzi and Aunt Shuanzi, those villagers who only wanted to help but didn't even bother to put their fingerprints on the paper, were all smiles and chattering away.

"Okay! We'll all come over then!"

"I've never actually eaten wolf meat before. Everyone should head over early!"

"Don't worry, Er Ya, everyone will go and help."

"I heard wolf meat is tough and dry, so everyone should bring some firewood tomorrow..."

……

"Okay! Thank you all for your help!"

Ye Qingqing said with a smile, "My dad said that after we're done with this, he'll cut a few pounds for everyone to eat at home."
