Chapter 118 Negotiating with the Village Chief
Chapter 118 Negotiating with the Village Chief
"Just the fact that you two siblings saved my aunt's life is already a huge favor. If we can help you, that would be great."
The village chief stroked his beard and said, "Keep this money for yourself and use it later!"
An Yue always felt that she was being unfair if she asked people for help but didn't give them corresponding compensation.
The village chief took a sip of tea, put down the teacup, and said, "Then when the weather clears up, I will go and run some errands for you to see which man is willing to work."
An Yue smiled playfully and said, "Hehe...Uncle, you can ask my eldest uncle's brother An Qing first. He works away from home all year round."
Qin smiled calmly and said, "Yueyue wants your brother Anqing to come and help. You live in the same courtyard, so why don't you just go and ask him to help you? Isn't that right?"
"Auntie knows that my uncle and auntie are not on good terms with Yueyue. If Yueyue goes directly to Anqing, he will definitely not accept the money. Secondly, my auntie and the others will definitely complain non-stop. Wouldn't that put Anqing in a dilemma?"
"So my uncle will help me find another person to work with Brother Anqing. We will pay them every month according to their daily work."
"That way, my uncle and the others will definitely not say anything, so I won't have to listen to any annoying words in the future."
Qin said lovingly, "You! You are so young, but you always think things through."
An Yue stood up and bowed, saying, "Yue Yue thanks uncle and aunt for their help."
"Yueyue, get up quickly. Why are you saying these polite words?" Qin quickly helped An Yue to stand up.
It's almost noon, so you can't stay in someone else's house for long.
An Yue added: "Uncle, Aunt, please take care of this matter!"
"It's getting late, so Yueyue will go back first."
Qin said politely, "Yueyue, can you stay and have lunch with us?"
"Aunt, no, no, Yueyue has other things to do at home."
The village chief handed the straw paper to An Yue, who took it, folded it and put it in her arms.
After saluting, she turned and walked towards the gate of the courtyard.
"Yueyue, it's still raining outside! Please wait a moment, I'll get you a bamboo hat."
After Qin finished speaking, she walked towards the west room to get her hat.
An Yue shouted as she ran, "Aunt, no need! Yueyue runs fast and will be home in no time."
By the time Qin came out with the bamboo hat, An Yue had already run away and disappeared.
"This child really comes and goes without a trace." Qin couldn't help but mutter while holding her bamboo hat.
The village chief Li Huairen, who was standing at the main house door, smiled and shook his head, saying, "Little boy, you should come and go freely like this!"
"Yes, yes, I'm just worried that she'll catch a cold and there won't be an adult to take care of her."
After Qin finished speaking, she turned around and went to the west room to put the hat away.
After An Yue walked out of the yard, she trotted back home the same way she came.
As she ran, she thought that if she dug a septic tank and fed some livestock, it would not be long before there would be fertile water to irrigate the land.
But after raising livestock, one will only be more tired in the future.
At this time, the drizzle on the road was gradually stopping. An Yue thought about going to the wasteland to dig some herbs after the rain stopped in the afternoon.
When she returned home, she looked at the herbs in the basket on the stove and felt them, and found that they were all dry.
With a look of joy on her face, she put the dustpan aside, covered the iron pot and prepared to cook lunch.
While making lunch, An Yue couldn't help but think back to the black shadow from last night, but unfortunately she couldn't see the specific shape of the black shadow clearly.
But she clearly remembered that when her father and mother were assassinated that day, the daggers held by the criminals had a common feature on them.
There was an icon similar to a snake head on the dagger. According to An Yue's judgment, those criminals were all professionally trained and had a very clear target for assassination.
Until now, An Yue still doesn't know what gang organization the icon belongs to.
There is no clue at all, so I have to give up!
For now, we should solve the current problem of farming and let An Nian go to school well. When things are stable, we will find out why our father and mother died.
Lunch was ready, and I was sitting alone at the table eating. The rain started to fall outside again.
It seems that the plan to dig herbs in the afternoon has been ruined.
Since she had nothing to do at home anyway, An Yue thought about figuring out where to dig a manure pit and set up a shed to feed the livestock. It would be best if there was also an independent space for taking a bath.
Thinking about this, it was extremely inconvenient for three families to go in and out of one yard on weekdays.
In addition, although we don’t know who the black shadow was last night, it is obvious that the gate of the An family has been targeted by someone.
For example, if the yard was separated, there would be no reason for the false accusation made by my uncle and aunt last time.
An Yue decided to plan carefully to open another gate.
But if I do this, I'm afraid I'll have to use up the money my grandmother has saved.
Wash the dishes after eating.
Just like in the morning, he placed the winnowing basket on the stove and roasted the herbs.
Then she walked out of the gate and walked along the vegetable garden outside the wall, intending to investigate it carefully.
She remembered hearing her mother say that this vegetable field belonged to the old lady who lived next door to the west.
An Yue thought that if she could buy this piece of land, it would be perfect, but she didn't know how much money it would cost.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and An Yue hurried home.
After entering the house, she found that her clothes were a little wet. She was about to change her clothes, but then she felt sleepy. She simply changed her clothes and took a nap.
Perhaps it was because of the rain, or perhaps because she was too tired from digging in recent days, when An Yue opened her eyes, it was already noon.
An Yue thought that since she was just sitting there doing nothing, she might as well go to the mountain and cut some bamboos.
So she changed into her wet clothes again, took the machete and went out.
She planned to weave a big cage. If the cage was successful, she would buy some poultry from the town and raise them.
Anyway, there is tender grass everywhere in spring, and they won’t starve to death if you feed them some grass.
If you can't weave a cage, just weave something random to use as a container for the herbs.
After walking along the main road, we came to the wasteland where we had dug herbs before. Climbing up the hillside, there was a bamboo forest.
Dang Dang Dang!
With a few quick moves, he chopped down two bamboos, cleared away most of the bamboo branches, and headed back home.
After arriving home, she hurriedly changed her clothes and then put on a coarse apron.
An Yue removed all the branches and leaves from the bamboo poles, leaving only two bare bamboo poles.
She first cut a bamboo into two-meter-long pieces, and then split it in the middle into bamboo strips one finger wide.
Then separate the bamboo strips into two thin layers.
In this way, she tinkered under the eaves for the whole afternoon.
It is almost You time.
At this time, An Nian came back.
As soon as An Nian entered the yard, he called out, "Sister."
