Rebirth in Famine: She Thrives by Lucky Space

Chapter 1171: Chapter 1171: Xiwang

The two of them listened to this and didn’t care at all, laughing as they ran outside.

"Those two are really a handful."

"They’re still young, I heard from the kids that Doctor Liu said the two of them are the smartest, but they don’t use it in the right places."

"Sigh, those two kids are too mischievous. Cheng Lin always thinks this way; I estimate that once our household head finishes up his work, they’ll get a spanking."

Everyone laughed; right now, Village Chief Li truly doesn’t have any leisure time.

Then they heard Li Xue in the yard educating the two of them.

"Xue seems gentle, but those two rascals didn’t dare talk back."

"My daughter is precious."

"Truly envious, Xiao Li, I’ll definitely raise my Xiao Shuang well, then offer her to your family."

"Haha, Da Jiang’s wife, your Xiao Shuang is only ten years old, isn’t that too eager?"

"Isn’t Xiao Shuang a good match for Changhe? My Xiao Shuang often receives praise from Teacher Jiang.

My family may have two daughters, but they’re just as precious. Both sisters study well; I don’t let them do heavy work and make sure they learn proper conduct from Teacher Jiang."

Da Jiang’s Xiao Shuang is a twin and has a twin brother. He’s indeed a good child, especially sensible, just like Li Xue.

Qu Xiaoli simply laughed, "In the future, we’ll see if the two children are meant to be; let’s not worry too much as their elders."

Da Jiang’s wife smiled, understanding that the kids are indeed too young; but it made her feel better to express her intentions, and after all, she really does spoil her daughters without making them spoiled brats.

All six of them were exceptionally quick; by the time the clock struck to signal the end of work, they had already finished four bed covers.

They each went home for a while, since even though lunch for the family was arranged, they felt uneasy without going back to check.

Guodong can now drive the cart on his own. Once you get the knack, it’s really nothing. freёwebnovel.com

Li Yungui is currently lying in the cart bed, lazily stretching.

"Second Uncle, shall we start collecting money from Jin Family Village?"

"Yes, we’ll start from Jin Family Village.

We’ll have lunch at Wang Shulin’s place. That old fellow has been hosting us multiple times, so today we’ll take him up on it."

Guodong just chuckled, thinking to himself that his second uncle is really something. If the family hasn’t prepared a meal for them, it could be awkward. Nowadays, folks usually prepare meals for just their household members.

"Guodong, from now on collecting money will be your job alone."

"Second Uncle, I don’t feel confident on my own."

"What’s there to be afraid of? I was just like this on my first try too and needed Uncle Wei beside me. Now it’s second nature, isn’t it?"

"Second Uncle, I really can’t do it alone. I’ll have to find someone to accompany me in the future."

"Alright then, arrange it yourself. I’m getting older and don’t want to run back and forth anymore. This one-off trip doesn’t leave me with idle time either.

Guodong, your Uncle Yang and Uncle Wei suggest using the educated youths. What’s your take?"

"Second Uncle, to be honest, I only nod to say hi to those few male educated youths, never assigned them tasks. Can’t say much about their character, but educated youth Tao should be quite capable. Plus, educated youth Xu is an honest man."

"What about the newly arrived ones?"

"I think they’re all fine, better than the female educated youths." freewёbn૦νeɭ.com

"For goodness’ sake, those female educated youths are not young anymore, why aren’t they thinking about settling down? They should hurry up and get married."

"Haha, Second Uncle, no one can bear to leave our village."

"By the way, Guodong, have you heard if any of the young lads in our village want to marry an educated youth?"

"Nope, their intention seems to be finding a partner in the city."

Well, it’s understandable, most regular job posts are for young people. They have these thoughts as expected.

"Are those female educated youths wanting to marry into our village?"

"That I’m not sure about, I haven’t heard Jing Chu talk about it, she doesn’t like associating with them.

But presumably, many have this in mind, however haven’t seen any promising leads.

If they find someone from another village, and if you can bring them to settle in Li Family Village, they might quickly get married."

The tradition is still that way: the girl must go to the boy’s home, thus they interpret it as not staying in Li Family Village once married.

"Won’t they marry those few male educated youths?"

How could Guodong answer this? What should he say about those few male educated youths already being quite fed up with the female ones?

"Developing feelings while together all day long but not even forming a couple?"

"Probably because they’re too familiar?"

"Nonsense, familiarity is a good thing! Surely it’s because those female educated youths aren’t appealing enough, and the young lads don’t fancy them?"

"Yeah, probably. I’ve heard them talk about not liking the first batch of four educated youths, whereas the second batch of two females is alright, but still haven’t heard anyone with concrete plans."

"Really a headache."

"Second Uncle, you don’t know, but on the day my big brother got betrothed, that Yan Zhiqing even questioned him vehemently, which has become a joke at the educated youth spot."

"Didn’t your big brother mention it? Does he know that female educated youth?"

"Not at all. Everyone thinks she’s a bit off in the head.

Especially after that incident, she talks less, doesn’t work, and they all say she gives off spooky vibes."

"I really haven’t noticed, but it better not be like the female educated youth from Jin Family Village."

"They now avoid Yan Zhiqing."

"I’ll pay attention once I return. If something’s truly wrong, we’ll send her away in no time."

Guodong sighed internally, feeling like he’s done a duty entrusted by the educated youth.

They had no idea Yan Shuping had already lodged a complaint at the county’s Revolutionary Committee.

Upon arrival at Jin Family Village, Wang Shulin was aware they came to collect money, and thus directly asked the accountant to find the cash keeper and prepare the thirty-six hundred yuan.

"Having lunch at my place today?"

"I already discussed with Guodong en route that we’ll have lunch at your place."

"You’re just lucky. Yesterday I caught a wild rabbit, and today you drop by. Head over to my place."

After lunch, Li Yungui realized why his son and nephew had always complained about Wang Shulin’s family’s cooking; had it been made at home, it would definitely taste better than theirs.

"Let’s go, we still have three more villages to collect money from."

"Go then, don’t mention collecting money to me."

The pair didn’t return home until past seven in the evening, having secured more than ten thousand yuan.

Li Yunqiang recorded the accounts, while Jiang Xinyu received the money.

Just as they had finished, Cheng Lin’s call was heard.

Li Yungui frowned and stepped out.

"Dad, hurry up! A bunch of people arrived at the chicken farm and livestock pen claiming they’re from the inspection squad."

Li Yungui got heated up instantly.

He felt certain it was those scoundrels from Tang Manyin’s family who stirred this trouble. He didn’t beat them last time, and they clearly forgot the pain after healing.

He stormed over to the chicken farm in anger, while Li Yunqiang headed to the pigsty.

The villagers were blocking the chicken farm’s entrance, looking like they wanted to break in.

"What’s going on?"

"Someone reported your village’s illegal chicken and pig farming, saying it’s capitalist ideology."
