Chapter 73： One word difference makes a world of difference!

Chapter 73 A difference of one word makes a huge difference!

"Your family...your family actually wants to distribute food to the people in the village?"

“It’s not about sharing food, it’s about borrowing food.” Mrs. Li responded with a smile.

The village chief's face turned red with excitement.

“Whether it’s sharing or borrowing food, it’s a great thing! Every family is worried about not having food in the autumn! Your family is really the reincarnation of a living Bodhisattva. This saves the lives of the whole village!”

Li Laoer quickly comforted the old man and wanted to help him sit down.

But the village chief couldn't wait for a moment and waved his hands repeatedly.

“Wait a minute, I’m going to call all the families in the village.”

After saying this, the wind blew under his feet and he ran away.

In less than a moment, more than a dozen families in the village gathered in the Li family yard.

Since it rained, the wells in the houses have water again, and they are busy replanting, but everyone has not been here for a long time.

At this moment, they were suddenly gathered together, and everyone thought that the village chief was taking them to thank the Li family for delivering water earlier.

Unexpectedly, the village chief said that the Li family would lend food to each family in the autumn.

This is simply a great joy!

Some people shouted at that time, "Seriously?"

“This is great, we don’t have to buy food in the autumn.”

“It’s okay if your family has money to buy it, but my family can’t even afford it.”

Everyone is complaining non-stop. They are worried if it doesn’t rain, and even more worried if it rains.

The village chief banged his pipe and pot and shouted loudly to everyone.

“Shut your mouths and listen to me. During the previous drought, we all relied on the Li family’s well to survive. Now that there is no food, the Li family has offered to borrow food in the autumn.

Such a good family settled in our Qingshui Village. Our Qingshui Village is simply lucky, we can’t let people down! "

He coughed twice and continued.

"In this case, I will make the decision and ask Mr. Li Er to write a receipt. Each family will write their name and fingerprint the amount of grain they borrow. Next year, each family will pay 10% more as interest if they borrow grain.

Because food will definitely be as expensive as gold this year. They don't sell a single grain, but lend it all to everyone to survive. You can't pay back the same amount next year. That's so heartless!

Do you agree? "

“Agree, agree!” The villagers nodded quickly.

No one is stupid, and everyone settles accounts quickly.

Even if the price of food has tripled, it would be a good idea for the Li family to ask them to pay back double the amount next year.

Unexpectedly, the Li family asked for 10% more talent, which was just like borrowing for nothing.

Someone was grateful and said loudly.

"From now on, when you are pulling weeds and harvesting in the fields, you will all call me one. Since my family also needs to eat food, I should work harder."

“Yes, me too, call me for work.”

For a while, everyone else responded, and the village chief nodded with satisfaction.

"That's it, the matter is settled. Don't be greedy and borrow too much! The Li family can only allocate fifteen acres of land. After all, there are many people in their family, and there are six of them, Lao Zhao, who will all eat together. Woolen cloth."

With fifteen acres of land, a family can get almost one acre of food, plus the radish and cabbage replanted in the field.

Even if we tighten our belts a little, we can barely survive until next spring.

For a while, Li Laoer rewrote the deed.

The village chief is the guarantor, and the heads of each family come forward and put their thumbprints on their names.

Their names are written with the amount of grain borrowed and the amount of grain returned.

Clearly, plainly.

Everyone in the Li family stood under the eaves and watched quietly.

Jiayin hugged her grandma’s neck and really admired this old lady.

With just two words of borrowing food, the entire village became allies of the Li family.

After all, the Li family’s grain must be harvested successfully before they can borrow grain.

In the next two months, the whole village worked hard to help the Li family pull weeds and patrol to guard against wild beasts in order to obtain rations for the winter.

Be more prepared to beware of other villagers coming to steal and destroy...

From a family fighting against all coveting dangers, to a village united as one.

It’s just one word, but it’s a world of difference.

Sure enough, the villagers had hope, as if they had been given a shot of blood. Early in the morning, the Li family rushed to the field, and there were already more than a dozen villagers pulling weeds...

The things in the field have come to an end, and Mrs. Li is in a good mood.

While the house was quiet, he closed the door and took his granddaughter to count the money on the kang.

In the past, when selling vegetables, the most I sold in one day was fifteen taels. Even the least one day is twelve taels.

Sold for fourteen days and earned one hundred and eighty taels. Get rid of the eighteen taels allocated to Manager Zhou. The twenty taels used to treat guests to dinner left exactly one hundred and sixty taels.

Even with Mrs. Li’s strong temperament, she couldn’t help but have red circles in her eyes.

Thinking about it, the family was worried about the eldest grandson’s education. The whole family had to mobilize to spend one or two a month before they dared to decide.

Nowadays, let alone one tael a month, even ten taels can be afforded.

And the good news is already rolling on the piles of silver.

This is silver!

She worked hard to plant and pull vegetables, and received the money in return.

Mrs. Li was amused by her granddaughter. She hugged her granddaughter and kissed her twice.

“Grandma’s lucky girl, my family will enjoy the blessings with you! Grandma will give you whatever you want!”

Jiayin immediately grabbed two silver coins.

Mrs. Li smiled even harder and tapped the tip of her granddaughter's nose.

“This is all what you earned, you can take as much as you want. Just leave some money for your brother to study.”

Jiayin just likes money and plans to save some slowly. Be prepared for what flowers will be used for when you grow up.

Of course she won't be all round.

So, with a flip of her hand, she threw two pieces of silver into the space.

She began to nibble the fruit and had no intention of taking any more money.

She is teething recently and her mouth is always itchy and uncomfortable. The fruit tastes good when chewed, and it can also grind your gums.

She would take a few bites almost every time she had time.

Old Mrs. Li couldn't help but feel a little surprised when she saw her granddaughter being so sensible.

After I had collected my money, as soon as I went out, a carriage stopped outside the door.

It turned out that Liu Biaotou was the guest.

This is a distinguished guest!

Soon, Li Laosi came back from the fields, and Tao Hongying also started to prepare food and drinks.

Biaotou Liu is easy to get along with, and everyone in the Li family, young and old, likes him.

Talk about gossip, eat and drink, and it was already dusk when it was time to send him off.

Li Laosi returned to the house, his expression a little hesitant.

Mrs. Li was busy bathing her granddaughter. Jiayin stepped up her calves and played with the water beside her, making trouble.

Jia An's family liked to have a water fight with his sister and help her take a bath, but Mrs. Li drove her away.

Jiayin stuck out her tongue at her brother, causing Tao Hongying, who brought the water in, to laugh.

“This girl is really smart. She is not yet one year old, and she is already shy.”

“We are grown girls, and we know that being shy is a good thing.”

In Mrs. Li's heart, her granddaughter is very good.

Even if Tao Hongying is her mother, she can't say a word.

Tao Hongying was so dumbfounded that she stretched out her hand to help her daughter take off her clothes.

At this time, Li Laosi walked in and said, "Mom, I have something to say."

“What’s the matter?” Mrs. Li was confused. Jiayin also stopped patting the water and looked over curiously.

Li Laosi hesitated for a moment and whispered.

"The **** agency picked up a escort, which is very expensive. It's not easy to let too many people know about it, so not too many people can go there. Mr. Liu wanted me to go with him."

There is also family righteousness, so it’s best to help as well. Go and come back quickly, I should be back in twenty days. "

 Before Mrs. Li and Tao Hongying could respond, Jiayin's heart skipped a beat and she struggled to spit out a single word.

"No!"
