Chapter 110: Baoshan (2)
Everyone has seen how Ji Xiaomu has become rich. Now she has money and a shop, all she needs is a husband. They have long wanted to know her secret of success, but no one has noticed her taking any action.
"How long do you want to lease the mountain?" A villager looked at Ji Xiaomu and asked with raised eyebrows.
"I really don't know the time limit, Village Chief, how about we just buy the mountain? How much would it cost directly?" Mother Ji thought for a long time about how long to rent it, and in the end, she decided to just buy it.
"...I thought three hundred taels was the purchase price!" The village chief glanced at Ji Xiaou and whispered in her ear.
"We have already leased the mountain. What's the difference between buying and renting it?" Uncle Li said calmly, "Whether we leased the mountain or bought it has nothing to do with you. You just need to say whether you agree or not." Uncle Li stepped forward and said, "Think it over carefully before you speak. Otherwise, I won't give you the six taels."
"Yes, yes, yes! Don't be a fool if you have money! Anyway, my family won't go up the mountain. There are big insects on the mountain. They have bitten many people in the past. Only ghosts will go up the mountain!" The lady was anxious, "You jealous people should stop staring at Ji Xiaoniang. She can make money because of her ability. What's wrong with staring at her? You are jealous of this and that all day long. You will never get rich in your life. You are too greedy!"
"What are you talking about!" someone asked anxiously.
"Don't you understand what I'm saying? Stop being jealous. If you have the ability, go and make money on your own. If someone is willing to share the money with us after contracting the mountain, it means she has a conscience and knows how to do her job. If she really wants to go to the government office to contract the mountain, it has nothing to do with you. How can you expect to share the money?" The old lady's words made the villagers look at each other in confusion.
Indeed, if Ji Xiaowu went directly to the government office and asked for a mountain contract, all the surrounding villages would definitely welcome it. There would be no need for the village chief to call them over. Whether they agreed or not was none of their business.
They are now getting these six taels of silver for free.
"That seems to make sense." Some villagers nodded immediately after hearing what the old lady said. Anyone who doesn't accept the money is a fool, not to mention that the things are not theirs in the first place.
"I don't agree. Why should we give her the mountain?" A sharp voice sounded. The villagers looked back and rolled their eyes.
Liu's mother came over at some point. After hearing that Ji Xiaomu wanted to rent a mountain, she felt that it was time and she couldn't let Ji Xiaomu succeed. "She must have some conspiracy. Otherwise, why would she rent a mountain and raise chickens? It's obviously to divert our attention."
"...Mr. Liu, if you don't agree then just don't say anything. What's the point of diverting your attention?" The village chief felt that Liu's mother was inexplicable, not to mention the other villagers. Looking at Liu's mother's jealous look, he understood everything in his heart.
This is too sour and a bit spoiled.
"After being divorced by your Liu family, Ji Xiaomu opened a shop and built a house to make money. Are you jealous? Do you regret divorcing her?" An old lady laughed and despised what Liu's mother did. "You say the grapes are sour because you can't eat them. I agree even if you disagree."
"Aunt Liu, it's okay if you don't agree. If other people disagree, and the number exceeds 20%, I won't want this mountain anymore." When Ji Xiaomu saw her ex-mother-in-law, the villagers were all staring at this scene, wondering what kind of sparks the two would create.
When Liu's mother heard Ji Xiaomu calling her Aunt Liu, she suddenly felt as if something was stuck in her throat, unable to go down or up, and she felt extremely uncomfortable.
How dare Ji Xiaomu look down on her like this?
