stingy landlady

Chapter 192 Leading the Villagers to Prosperity (2)

The village chief sighed and said:

"What else can we do! We'll leave him here! The child is about five or six years old! He's quite sensible! He knows to eat and live at our maternal grandparents' house because he's afraid his uncles and aunts will look down on him. No matter if he can't do it or not, he always volunteers to help with chores!"

Sigh! It's so pitiful to see this child lose his father at such a young age!

Guizhi listened and hesitated slightly before saying:

"Grandpa Village Chief! Then let my second aunt take the child with her tomorrow! My uncle's daughter, Fangcao, right?"

They're all going to see my fourth aunt tomorrow morning, everyone's going together! One car can't fit so many people, Dad! You'll have to ask Brother Pan Qiang to help send them off!

Dazhu agreed:

"What's the big deal? Pan Qiang and his wife go to town every day, just to pick up a few more people and make more trips!"

The village chief asked worriedly:

“My granddaughter’s name is Fangcao! Guizhi! Don’t make things difficult for me just because I’m the village chief! How is my second aunt supposed to work with a child?”

Guizhi said casually:

"It's alright! Don't worry about it!"

Grandpa Village Chief said the child was sensible! It just so happens that my fourth aunt's little brother also needs someone to help take care of him. My fourth sister is also going to learn to recognize a few words; they're both still quite young.

The children can learn to read and study together in the future! And help take care of my fourth aunt's little brother!

Oh! My Aunt Xu is about to give birth too, and there are a few other pregnant women in the village, all probably a year along. Looks like I'll have to find a caring woman to look after the babies!

That way, the adults can be free to do chores! We'll also need to hire a tutor to teach the children to read, write, and understand things!

The village chief was surprised:

"Where is Guizhi talking about? Such great treatment? I want to go there! Hahaha!"

Dazhu honestly said:

"Uncle Village Chief! Those female workers are working in Huanghua Village! Guizhi is just daydreaming! There's no such opportunity now!"

The village chief praised:

"It's no wonder Guizhi dares to dream! She might just realize them all in the future!"

Guizhi! Your Huanghua Village has the resources to run a school like this! Don't forget, our village still has many children who run freely all over the mountains and fields every day!

Guizhi frowned and smiled bitterly:

"Grandpa Village Chief! I don't have that ability! But..."

Upon hearing that there was a chance, the village chief hurriedly asked Guizhi:

"But what?"

"Grandpa Village Chief! Once everyone in our village has made money, we can build a school in the village, and everyone can chip in to hire a teacher. It shouldn't be a problem!"

"Any family with a child who wants to go to school should pay tuition! Once we have enough to eat and some spare money, who wouldn't want their child to be educated and sensible?"

"That's right! In the end, we still need to make money first! Guizhi! Grandpa Village Chief will now call on everyone to grow and sell vegetables to make money!"

"Grandpa Village Chief, we can also plant fruit trees! We don't have any saplings here, but we can get some from other places! We can go to another village and ask for a few fruit tree saplings, and they'll bear fruit in a few years!"

My own kids can get a snack! And if they're good-looking, I can sell them! It's a win-win situation!

The village chief took his leave and went outside, and the old man also went back to his own home. The two of them came and went together, and the house suddenly felt empty.

Gui Zhi asked the narrow-minded pillar:

"Dad! Where are you staying tonight?"

Dazhu is also troubled by this problem! He said irritably:

"You brat! What business is it of yours where your father lives?"

"Hehe! Dad! Isn't Mom behaving herself? Go and comfort her, okay?"

Dazhu, seemingly preoccupied with some mischievous thought, grinned wickedly. He waved his hand...

"Go away! You little brat, always meddling in adult matters! Dad's going to check if your mother's been behaving herself!"

Guizhi agreed and ran off. Dazhu went into the inner room; Li was still lying on the kang (heated brick bed), sulking. Dazhu approached her and asked:

"Still angry? Now you'll behave after a beating, won't you? You never want to have a good life, you just have to ask for a beating!"

Dazhu looked at Li Shi lying on the kang (a heated brick bed) in her home clothes, her chest high and round. Li Shi wasn't acting aggressively anymore. Her honest and obedient appearance had a unique charm.

Dazhu said Li Shi deserved to be taught a lesson, but his hands were anything but honest. He climbed onto the kang (heated brick bed), slipped his hand under Li Shi's clothes, and began kneading her breasts, asking her:

"Honey! Tell me! Do you still dare to lay a hand on us? You've got some nerve! You even dare to defy your own husband! Tonight, I'll see who holds him back!"

Startled, Li tried to get up, but Dazhu had already pounced on her, lifted her clothes, and kissed her. While kissing one breast, his other hand was forcefully kneading the other.

Li couldn't break free, yet dared not hit back forcefully! She feared being beaten again, with no one to help her. She felt humiliated, yet also strangely sweet! With Dazhu's force, Li finally melted into a pool of water. Dazhu, too, displayed his virility, achieving male satisfaction!

In the morning, Dazhu got up and dressed. Seeing that Li was awake, he asked her:

"Behave yourself today! Stay home and let your butt heal properly, or I'll give you a good beating tonight! I'll make sure you can't walk for days!"

Li, blushing, burrowed into the quilt. Dazhu ignored her and reached in to fondle her again until she was panting, her eyes glazed over, staring at Dazhu with watery eyes. Only then did Dazhu stop.

"Hmph! This is your punishment! I'm off to work! Hahaha!"

Li was unsatisfied, but had no choice but to get up. She pounded the kang (a heated brick bed) and got up to get off.

Feeling refreshed, Dazhu went to the pigpen to check on the piglets. And sure enough, the sow and her piglets were frolicking around in the vegetable garden, all lively and energetic.

Guizhi's method is really effective!

Dazhu went to check on the wheat field again, and Zhou Mingzhi came running over, bowed, and said:

"Master! The wheat will be planted this morning! Shall we help the old man plant for half a day this afternoon? We'll start building the pigsty tomorrow morning!"

Dazhu felt like he heard magpies chirping today, and everything felt wonderful!

"Alright! Mingzhi, after we finish planting our fields today, with so many people helping my dad plant wheat, his family will definitely be done by the afternoon!"

Once the pigsty is built and the pigs are locked up, we can tidy up the vegetable garden and start planting sweet potato seedlings!

Zhou Mingzhi inquired with Dazhu:

"Sir! Is it sweet potato? That stuff has a high yield! It's filling and delicious! I've been here for years and I've never seen it before!"

"Yes! It was your third young lady who had it transported from the south! You know what sweet potatoes are?"

"I know, I know, sir! We've eaten them before! Oh, sir! I heard that during the famine years, many people survived entirely on sweet potatoes!"

Sweet potato leaves can be stir-fried, and sweet potatoes can be eaten raw! I once heard people in the village say that they fed sweet potatoes to pigs!

Sweet potatoes really do make pigs grow really fast! It's even better for sows to eat sweet potato leaves, so they don't get too big of a belly and can't poop!

"That's great! We've found a wonderful thing with this cassia branch! The leaves, stems, and even sweet potatoes are all edible! Not only can people eat it and be full, but pigs can eat it too, and they'll grow fast and well!"

"This sweet potato is a treasure from head to toe! Hahaha!"
