Reborn as an Ugly Wife in the Countryside-Chapter 1335 - 1337: Someone Leased Our Mountain
There’s no denying, Chuntao’s mother’s words had an impact on the villagers’ hearts.
Before it was even dinner time, the whole village became lively, with many people starting to head towards the Village Chief’s house.
The Zhong Family was particularly interested in this matter. Every one of them was keeping an eye on the road to the Village Chief’s house, even Xiaoxiao’s mother wasn’t an exception. From time to time, she would go to the door to take a look, sitting under the big tree at the entrance to cool down.
The villagers near Xiaoxiao’s house, if they wanted to go to the Village Chief’s house, would inevitably pass by Xiaoxiao’s place. When they saw Xiaoxiao’s mother on the road, they greeted her, "Auntie Zhong, resting here, huh?"
"Ah, yes, nothing much, just resting here under the tree, it’s cooler. What are you guys up to?"
"We’re headed to the Village Chief’s house, getting ready to lease Bao Mountain."
Upon hearing this, Xiaoxiao’s mother was overjoyed, waving her hand, "Hurry up, then."
"Alright, we’re off then."
A group of people passed by Zhong Family’s door, heading towards the Village Chief’s house.
Xiaoxiao’s mother went to the road again to take a look, noticing many people heading towards the Village Chief’s house, which delighted her greatly. She hurried back inside, "Husband, husband, someone is going to lease our mountain. I saw many people going towards the Village Chief’s house."
"Yes." Old Zhong responded with a simple acknowledgment, but he was quite pleased indeed.
Seeing that Old Zhong did not react much, Xiaoxiao’s mother felt uninteresting, "Not gonna talk to you then, I’ll go talk to our daughter."
Such delightful news had to be shared. Hearing her mother’s chatter, Xiaoxiao said, "Mom, I knew it, this will definitely work out."
This was indeed the happiest thing that had happened in a while. Xiaoxiao’s mother was so happy that she prepared dinner, thinking it should be properly celebrated.
Days like this are not ordinary. Everyone hadn’t started eating yet, waiting for Zhong Dalong to come back to eat together and hear about the details he brought back.
This wait lasted until it was dark. Unlike the day before, Zhong Dalong entered the house with a smile. Even before the family could ask, he spoke up, "Dad, Mom, sister, someone is going to lease our mountain."
The family nodded, they already knew. Old Zhong spoke, "Go wash up quickly and come to eat."
"Okay." Zhong Dalong agreed, quickly washing up before sitting at the table.
Seeing Zhong Dalong back, Xiaoxiao was the first to ask, for the family couldn’t wait, "Brother, how many people are leasing the mountain?"
"Sis, about a few dozen. But for sure more will come tomorrow, don’t worry." Now that people have taken the lead, Zhong Dalong’s confidence had greatly increased. After all, this is an opportunity to earn Silver; surely more people will come.
"Yeah, brother is right, more will come tomorrow. When this finishes in a few days, we’ll go find more people in other villages, let’s eat quickly."
"Yes, yes, let’s eat quickly." Xiaoxiao’s mother echoed.
The family then started eating. At the table, Zhong Dalong talked much about what had just happened at the Village Chief’s house, who was leasing the mountain, who was partnering with whom, and Old Zhong nodded repeatedly.
For those households they mentioned, Xiaoxiao didn’t know them as she wasn’t familiar, she just listened from the side, occasionally chiming in.
She also told Zhong Dalong that everything might take half a month to get ready, allowing time for farming tasks, and not to interrupt Chuntao’s family’s busy time, as Chuntao’s mother had been a big help this time, and people should have integrity, the family couldn’t fall short on this matter.
