Chapter 299 Return to the village
Xie Jiaojiao looked at them: "Oh? That's not what you meant. If you don't agree with Wang Qiushi, why didn't you say anything just now?"
Everyone pursed their lips and said nothing.
Xie Jiaojiao looked at them and said, "Alright, stop talking nonsense. I always keep my word. I won't take it back now that I've said it. Didn't Wang Qiushi just say that I asked you to grow sugarcane because you are helping me and doing me a favor? Then I don't need what you grow in the future. Since you think she is right, you can sell it to her. After all, to be honest, my husband's family also has several farms in Jiangbo City. Even if you don't grow the sugarcane, my family can grow it ourselves! It also prevents you from saying that you grow the sugarcane for me..."
Everyone waved their hands hastily, trying to explain, but Xie Jiaojiao didn't want to listen...
He turned around and said to the person who had just helped to speak: "Don't worry, I will still buy your sugar cane at 70% of the price. Do you want food? If you don't have any silver with you, we can use it to offset the price when we collect the sugar cane!"
When the families heard this, they were instantly delighted. The man whose parents had not come out said sullenly, "Ms. Xie, I want to get two pounds. I want to live and go back alive to collect the bodies of my parents!"
Xie Jiaojiao felt a little uncomfortable when she heard this: "Cuizhu, scoop some food for him!"
Once there is a chance, there will be a second one. These families bought food and went back to cook. Two families had run out of food a few days ago, and they had been eating wild vegetables and tree roots these days. Now that they had food, they started cooking immediately!
The others smelled the food and their stomachs growled, but if they wanted to buy food from Xie Jiaojiao, they had to give her silver. They looked at the families that had already cooked with envy and wished they could slap themselves in the face. They had no idea what they were thinking just now!
The rest of the people looked at each other, and finally had to pay for the food with their own money. Some people still said nice things to Xie Jiaojiao, but Xie Jiaojiao just picked her ears and didn't say anything. After a few times of being bored, everyone didn't dare to say anything anymore.
Wang Qiushi pushed Chen Shouren and asked him to buy some food. Chen Shouren glanced at Xie Jiaojiao and then at Wang Qiushi. He felt that Xie Jiaojiao was not giving face to him as the village chief. But when he turned around and saw Wang Qiushi, he became even angrier and felt that this woman was unacceptable!
Chen Zimo spoke up at this time: "Dad, let's buy some food too, Xiaohong is pregnant!"
Chen Shouren had no choice but to hold the bowl and the bag and walk up to Xie Jiaojiao.
Cuizhu asked directly: "How much do you want?"
Chen Shouren said: "Five pounds..."
After saying that, he looked at Xie Jiaojiao, but Xie Jiaojiao didn't say anything. She sat next to him, talking and laughing with Sun Ruhua.
Chen Shouren gave the silver and went back with the bag and bowl.
Sun Ruhua looked at Xie Jiaojiao and said, "Jiaojiao, it would be bad to break up with the village chief and the villagers like this."
Xie Jiaojiao pinched the loose hair on her forehead and tucked it behind her ears: "What are you worried about? These heartless and ungrateful people, no matter how good you are to them, they won't remember us. I can help them make money, but I can't help them with ungrateful people!"
Sun Ruhua nodded in agreement: "It's fine as long as you know what's going on. Mother thought you would go with your son-in-law today!"
Xie Jiaojiao hugged her arm and said, "What are you talking about? You are still here, how could I have any idea? And about Zhiyi, it is said that his master took him to seek refuge. When the water recedes, we will go find him then."
"Okay, okay, I'm glad he's okay!"
Many people in the village bought food. Niu Fusheng watched and smelled the food that others were cooking. He swallowed his saliva. The little boy in his arms looked up at Niu Fusheng and said, "Dad, Erbao wants to eat porridge!"
Niu Fusheng pursed his lips and finally walked up to Wang Po, Niu Er and Wang Xiuer.
Mrs. Wang was resting with her eyes closed.
She has been in poor health recently, and her complexion looked much worse. She just held on for her last breath and spoke up for Xie Jiaojiao.
Niu Er looked at Niu Fusheng and said, "I'm not feeling well. Tell me if you have anything to say."
Niu Fusheng looked at Mrs. Wang lying on the ground with her eyes closed, thought for a while and finally asked: "Niu Er, do you have any silver? Lend me some. I was in a hurry when I went out and I didn't bring any silver with me. Look, your brother is crying with hunger, I..."
Niu Fusheng felt ashamed at the end of his speech.
Niu Er listened and glanced at the baby in his arms. He had taken care of the baby for a long time at the beginning, but he didn't have much affection for him. After all, when Li Lihua was around, she was very precious to him. When he wanted to hold her, Li Lihua felt that he was trying to harm her...
However, Niu Erbao was brought up by Wang Po for a while, so at least for now, he hasn't grown up...
Niu Erbao looked at Niu Er timidly in Niu Fusheng's arms.
Niu Er finally couldn't bear it anymore and called out "Xiu'er".
Wang Xiuer walked up, took out a dime from her bosom and gave it to Niu Er, who then handed it to Niu Fusheng.
Niu Fusheng's eyes were red, holding the silver coin, he said: "Dad will definitely pay you back!"
Niu Er nodded slightly.
Niu Fusheng turned around and hugged Niu Erbao, saying with a smile: "Erbao, we have food to eat."
He turned around and went to the nearby Cuizhu to buy some food.
Niu Erbao was dancing with joy.
Niu Er looked at him enviously.
Wang Xiuer pulled him and said, "Brother Niu, it's time to eat."
Only then did Niu Er withdraw his gaze.
With the food from Xie Jiaojiao, everyone no longer had to go hungry. The weather was getting better and better in the following days.
In the middle, Xie Jiaojiao went out and caught a rabbit!
The smell of the roasted food made the kids in the cave cry with greed.
That day, the water in the village finally receded.
Everyone packed up and prepared to return to the village.
Chen Ada and a few others walked up to Xie Jiaojiao and said that they wanted to go back and see their families!
Although they were in the cave these days and had food and drink, they were always worried about their families in Zhuangzi.
Of course Xie Jiaojiao understood, so she asked Cuizhu to pack some of the remaining food for each of them, and then took out some change from her bosom and divided it among them.
"It's better to go back and take a look. At least my family is safe, and I feel relieved! There's not much silver here, and I don't have much on me. You guys go back and take a look first. If you need help, just tell Manager Wang."
Several people were so grateful to Xie Jiaojiao that they wanted to kneel down and kowtow to her. Xie Jiaojiao hurriedly helped them up and urged them, "Okay, don't waste time. It's rare that the flood has receded. Go back and take a look. If there is nothing wrong at home, you can come back quickly and help me with the work!"
Several people nodded with red eyes, then put on the bags that Xie Jiaojiao had asked Cuizhu to prepare for them and set off back.
Xie Jiaojiao and the others were also preparing to return to the village. They didn't know what the village looked like now that the water had receded. From a distance, it looked like there was nothing there anyway...
