MTL - After Dressing Up As a Stepmother, I Transformed the Whole Family Into Working In the Fields-Chapter 552 Ashamed of oneself
Chapter 552: Feeling ashamed
Liu Ji drove the fully loaded ox cart slowly and leisurely into the village.
Within a few days of leaving home, he had completed all the affairs assigned by his wife. Now he is also a Liu Juren who owns three thousand acres of land!
Of course, the land still belongs to the family, he only has a name.
However, the thirty acres of hills planted with pineapples, the small courtyard on the outskirts of the county town that can be rented for ten taels of silver per year, and the small shop in the city that rents for thirty taels of silver per year, really belong to him.
Oh no, it belongs to his majestic lady.
Looking back at the baskets of pears on the oxcart, Liu Ji gently patted their cute yellow heads and smiled with satisfaction.
These baskets of pears were all picked by him from the mountains with his own hands, and the ones he picked were the largest and roundest. With the rent money in his pocket, Liu Ji could already imagine the bright smile blooming at the corner of his wife's mouth.
When the wife is happy, he is happy, and the whole family has a better life, and they are a neat family.
As for the little mistake he made before, the lady is busy with everything and will not remember it again.
Liu Ji felt very happy and urged Qing Niu to walk faster so as not to delay him from going to the table to share dinner with his wife.
After a while, I turned around and touched the pear basket, and I felt that the mountain scenery in front of me was extremely gorgeous.
Autumn has passed, and the mountains are full of leaves that are dyed golden. Under the reflection of the setting sun, a layer of warm light shines through. They fall one after another with the breeze, as if there is a golden rain.
Qing Niu knew the way and took his master into the village. When he saw the familiar scenery, Qing Niu couldn't help but screamed "Mo".
Haunted by the setting sun, the drowsy Liu Jideng suddenly woke up.
Sit up straight and take a look, it turns out that we have arrived at Liujia Village.
The ox cart drove past the gate of the stationery factory. Liu Ji was surprised to find that at this time when he was supposed to be preparing dinner at home, the villagers were not at home, but instead lined up in a long line in front of the gate of the stationery factory.
Everyone was smiling and looking forward eagerly, wondering what happy event they were looking forward to.
Some people saw Liu Ji driving over, and they all nodded and said hello, "Master Juren is back!"
I don’t know if it was his imagination, but Liu Ji always felt that the villagers looked at him with particularly affectionate eyes.
He stopped the car and asked curiously: "What are all the people doing here?"
Sister-in-law Zhou asked him cheerfully: "Don't you know, Master Juren? The business of ladies' boxes has started in the capital, and the village chief is paying dividends to everyone!"
Speaking of this, Sister-in-law Zhou was so excited that she clasped her hands and shook them again and again, "I didn't expect that the dividends could be received so quickly. Fortunately, I listened to the village chief's words and invested in the shares. Otherwise, we wouldn't have encountered such a good thing. , sitting at home doing nothing, just getting dividends.”
As he was speaking, the names of the Zhou family were suddenly called out. Sister-in-law Zhou quickly responded loudly: "Yes, I'm here!"
"Oh, I can't delay you any longer. I'll go in first." Sister-in-law Zhou didn't even have time to smile at Liu Ji. She picked up her skirt and passed the villagers lining up and ran towards the factory.
Others were envious, but when they thought that their own family also had a share, they restrained themselves and waited for someone to call their name.
After a while, Sister-in-law Zhou came out happily. The villagers asked her hurriedly: "How much did you get?"
"Five taels!" Sister-in-law Zhou's answer was so resounding that it spread throughout the entire team and also reached Liu Ji's ears on the roadside, which shocked him all over.
"Five taels? You got your money back in one go!" The villagers couldn't believe it, but when they saw Sister-in-law Zhou spreading out the silver coins in her hand, there were indeed five taels of silver nuggets inside, and their eyes shone brightly.
Someone tapped Liu Gong on the shoulder and asked him if he had invested in several shares. Liu Gong nodded modestly, "It's not much, I just invested ten shares."
Sister-in-law Zhou exclaimed exaggeratedly, "Oh my god, this breath is worth fifty taels of silver!"
Liu Gong smiled lightly and said, "My father voted for it, and we stopped him in the beginning."
“Dafu is amazing.” The old people admired and envied him, but they only regretted that they didn’t bite the bullet and invest more.
But it’s good now. This is the first wave of dividends. The village chief just said that there will be another dividend at the end of the year. This year, the villagers will definitely live a prosperous life.
Liu Ji, who was watching, almost cried with envy as he watched the villagers take out the money.
“Hello, Master!”
A figure suddenly appeared beside the bullock cart at some point, and Liu Ji barely escaped being startled by him.
Turning around to look, he saw a neatly dressed young man of similar age to him, with a thin-faced boy beside him.
Liu Ji frowned, "Who are you?"
Has there ever been such a person in Liujia Village?
Perhaps because he didn’t expect that the Juren Master didn’t recognize him, Liu Feodan said a little embarrassed: “I am Liu Feodan, Master Juren, don’t you recognize me? We used to pick up cow dung together when we were children.”
Liu Ji was secretly shocked. The young man in front of him, who was neatly dressed and had an upright appearance, was actually the poorest Liu Shidan from Liujia Village?
Sensing Liu Ji's surprise, Liu Shidan himself was a little embarrassed, "Didn't Mrs. Zhou say she wanted to see a girl for me, so she took care of it so that other girls wouldn't come over and look at me and dislike us."
The boy pulled his father's sleeve and reminded him not to talk too much. Only then did Liu Shidan realize that he was not here to greet his childhood friend. He was here to deliver eggs to the village chief.
“I brought a few hens to raise at home. These are the eggs laid by the hens. I heard that the village chief likes to eat pastries made from those eggs. Could you please take the trouble to make more for our village chief?”
With that said, Zigu placed a basket of eggs on the empty space of the oxcart, smiled at Liu Ji again, and then led the baby to go home.
Liu Jiwei opened his mouth slightly and stared at the basket of eggs for a full quarter of an hour before closing his mouth stiffly.
Looking up at the sky, then at the bustling gate of the stationery factory, and then at the father and son walking away, Liu Ji couldn't help but pat his face gently.
He has only been away from the village for five days, right?
How does it feel like I have been gone for five years?
Liu Shidan, the poorest man in the village, has become more and more human-like, yet someone actually wants to marry him?
There are also villagers in the village who have money delivered to their doorsteps when they are sitting at home. They all have at least five taels of silver. What kind of fairy life are they living like this?
Looking at the small village in front of him, Liu Ji felt strange. Is this still the Liujia Village he knew?
Yes and no.
The village is still the same village, and the people are still the same, but the village chief has become Qin Yao.
Liu Ji stopped at the gate of the stationery factory and watched each villager leave happily holding silver coins in their hands. Until the sun set in the west and dusk came, the woman who was respected and appreciated by the villagers appeared stretching.
“Back.” She smiled at him, and it was obvious that she was in a good mood, even though her eyes were a little tired.
Liu Ji nodded, pointed to the empty seat next to him, waited for her to sit on it, and drove back home together.
“You’re so awesome.” He suddenly murmured.
A little envious, and a little ashamed of myself.
