When Su Li saw Su Ze coming back angrily, she asked, “What’s wrong?”
He was fine when he went out. Why was he so angry when he went out?
When Su Ze heard Su Li’s question, he told her everything he had seen and heard.
Su Li smiled and said, “What’s there to be angry about? Just walk your own path and let others say what they want!”
Su Ze said, “They’re just making things up out of nothing. What clearly didn’t happen, when they say it out loud, it sounds like it’s real!”
Su Li patted his shoulder and comforted him. “Alright, alright. Don’t be angry. It’s not worth it to be angry. Their mouths are on them. If they want to say something, let them say it. I won’t lose a piece of flesh!”
She did not care what others said at all. There was basically nothing wrong with the Exquisite Pavilion’s business. She just had to sit down and collect the money.
The most important thing now was to grow her chili business. When she manages to achieve some scale, those who were discussing would naturally shut their mouths.
Soon, the construction of the He family’s house began. Although the people at the old residence were gnashing their teeth in hatred, they did not dare to come over and cause trouble. After all, Su Li was no longer the Su Li from before. Now, she would take action both openly and secretly. After suffering a few losses, they could only curse in secret or go around ruining Su Li’s reputation.
However, this did not hurt Su Li at all!
What was reputation?
Was it edible?
Since she couldn’t eat it, why did she care about those things?
He Yufeng had just returned from hunting on the mountain. He looked at the lively little fox in his hand and was very happy. He thought to himself that he couldn’t sell this little fox and keep it for Su Li to raise as a pet. When he was free, he could use it to relieve his boredom.
In order to capture this little fox alive, he had spent a lot of effort.
He Yufeng hugged the little fox tightly and quickened his pace to rush home. He was already fantasizing about how Su Li would look when she received the little fox.
“Yuenfg!” An old voice called out to He Yufeng.
He Yufeng turned around and looked at the person who called him. “Village Chief, what’s the matter?”
As the saying goes, one doesn’t visit without a reason.
The village chief coughed and said, “I heard that your family is building a house?”
“Yes!” He Yufeng nodded.
Seeing that He Yufeng was a little cold, the village chief looked a little embarrassed. However, when he thought of the purpose of his visit today, he had no choice but to smile and continue to maintain this situation.
“You also know that we’re poor here and can’t grow anything in the fields. The food planted every year can survive but it won’t be possible to exchange them for silver!”
“If anything happens to anyone, they won’t be able to fork out a single cent!” After saying that, he looked at He Yufeng and saw that He Yufeng’s expression was still indifferent.
He Yufeng understood the village chief’s intentions, but what did what he said have to do with him?
“Village Chief, I can’t do anything about what you’re saying. Look, our family is having a hard time too. We haven’t had a meal yet. If there’s nothing else, I’ll leave first. My family is still waiting for me to go back for dinner.”
With that, He Yufeng was about to leave.
“No, no, no, I haven’t finished speaking!” The village chief hurriedly pulled He Yufeng back.
He continued, “It’s like this. The villagers don’t have much income. Your family must hire someone to build a house, right? Do you think you can use the villagers? That way, they can increase their income a little.”
“Although their mouths are a little broken, they are kind-hearted. Usually, when anyone is in trouble, the strong laborers in the village will help. If they have offended you in any way, I’ll get them to apologize to you!”
The village chief grabbed He Yufeng and rambled on, almost pulling out their ancestors.
“Yufeng, you’re a good child. Your wife is also a good child. What do you think about this?”
He Yufeng pondered for a moment and said, “Let me think about it!”
He had to go back and discuss this with Su Li. If Su Li had a grudge against the villagers, he didn’t want to see an unhappy scene.
“Good, good, good!” The village chief was all smiles.
Since He Yufeng did not reject him, it meant that there was still a possibility of this matter. Moreover, a village cannot be formed with just two people. He did not believe that He Yufeng and his wife would be so heartless.
When He Yufeng returned, Su Li was still teaching. When she saw the little fox in He Yufeng’s arms, she immediately ran over excitedly.
“Ah! This little fox is so cute!”
When He Yufeng heard the flowers, he immediately handed the little fox in his arms over. “This is for you.”
“Thank you!” Su Li smiled until her eyes curved.
When He Yufeng saw her like this, the corners of his lips curled up.
“Father, what about us? We want the little fox too.” He Qingyao and He Qingmu ran over and asked.
He Yufeng squatted down and coaxed, “I only caught this one this time. I’ll give it to your mother first. I’ll catch it for you next time, okay?”
He Qingyao and He Qingmu nodded sensibly. “Okay.”
His father had said that they could not compete with their mother. They had to treat her well and give her good things first.
After dinner, He Yufeng told her about the village chief looking for him. Instead of answering, Su Li asked, “I want to hear what you think of it?”
She did not have a good impression of the people from the He Family Village, but this was the place where He Yufeng grew up. Their family still had to live here. It was not good to do some things too badly.
He Yufeng said, “Some people are not bad-hearted. They just like to gossip!”
He remembered that when he was young, he got lost in the deep mountains. It was a hunter in the village who found him and brought him back. Otherwise, a weak child like him would definitely die in the deep mountains and forests.
“Then let’s invite the villagers! But don’t invite the people who talked about us the fiercest and the most previously,” Su Li said.
It wasn’t like she was sick. Someone else had treated her so badly, yet she still wanted to hire them to work and earn money from them? Dream on!
He Yufeng nodded in agreement. “Of course. I’ll explain it to the village chief.”
Su Li continued, “However, there are still some things that we have to agree on. We only provide the salary and not the food. If gossip spreads, we’ll ask them to leave immediately. If anyone dares to cheat, we won’t give them a single cent!”
They would have to plan ahead or they would be the ones at a disadvantage.
Su Li told He Yufeng the specific requirements. She didn’t want to care about the rest and left everything to He Yufeng.
The villagers knew that Su Li and the others were going to hire someone. Those who had bad-mouthed them in the past all came to apologize, afraid that Su Li would not want them.
Su Li didn’t want to see those hypocritical faces, so she found an excuse to go out and let He Yufeng deal with them!
Su Ze didn’t want to stay at home either and followed her out.
As she walked, she reached the field. The chili peppers in the field were growing very happily. Su Li would go to the field to take a look every day. Every time, her eyes would sparkle.
When Su Ze saw so many chili peppers, he said excitedly, “Sis, we’re rich!”
