Chapter 32

"Qiao Xuan, come out! We have something to say."

Early the next morning, before it was time to start work, there were shouts outside the yard.

Qiao Xuan, who had just finished breakfast, opened the door and walked out, "I'm here, just tell me if you have anything to say!"

The people who came were Taoyuan Village villagers who had not participated in the road construction. They stared at Qiao Xuan angrily, "We also want to build roads! We also want to make money!"

The confident tone and command-like tone made Qiao Xuan sneer, almost thinking that he had offended these people yesterday and lost money to them.

"There are enough people, there is no shortage of people," Qiao Xuan said calmly.

"Fire the people employed in the town and replace them with us. We are all from Taoyuan Village. You understand the principle of not leaving outsiders' fields, right?"

They waited and watched all day yesterday, and it seemed that the road was really safe, so they gathered together last night to discuss it and came to block Qiao Xuan today.

After all, it is not common to earn fifty cents a day, so now that the crisis is over, it is natural to seize the opportunity.

"It's a beautiful idea, but it doesn't work!" Qiao Xuan rolled his eyes, "I was the first to inform the people in our village that I would go to the town if you didn't come. Now I'm clamoring to come. You guys will repair it."

Isn’t the road a trivial matter?”

The villagers' expressions changed when they heard that Qiao Xuan disagreed.

"Qiao Xuan, don't think that if we call you village chief, you will really be the village chief of our Taoyuan Village."

"That's right! It's really shameful for you to dare to speak to us like this."

"If you want to continue to hang out in the village, just listen to us. Let us do this job, or get out of Taoyuan Village!"

"If you don't agree to let those people take that path, then you can't even think about cultivating it."



Qiao Xuan laughed angrily, and she said in a deep voice: "Shut up, everyone!"

What the hell, I come when I want to, but I don’t come when I don’t want to. I’m so used to it.

The villagers in Taoyuan Village were silenced by Qiao Xuan's roar, and they all stared at Qiao Xuan with unconvinced expressions.

"If it doesn't work, it won't work! Get out of here! Just do whatever you have to do."

Qiao Xuan picked up the broom angrily and chased the people away. The group of people reluctantly backed away, and Qiao Xuan's slow reaction was hit by the broom on his legs.

"The road construction is an order from the county magistrate. If you have any opinions, please go to the county magistrate. Don't gather around here." Xi He walked out and said with a stern face.

Seeing that Qiao Xuan did not let go, the villagers exchanged glances and left.

"Xi He, go to Zhao Tian's house at the entrance of the village and pay some money to hire their oxcart," Qiao Xuan suddenly said to Xi He.

"Are you going to town or not?" Xi He asked puzzledly. He didn't hear Qiao Xuan say that he was going out today yesterday.

Qiao Xuan smiled mysteriously, stepped forward and whispered a few words in his ear.

Xi He's ears were red, and Qiao Xuan's warm breath disturbed his thoughts. He didn't come back to his senses until she stepped away.

"Got it!" He walked toward the village entrance in a panic.

Qiao Xuan went back and spoke to Xi Yan for a few words before going out.

"Village Chief Qiao is here!"

The villagers of Taoyuan Village who were working greeted Qiao Xuan warmly when they saw him coming, and other people hired by the town also followed them and called Qiao Xuan Village Chief Qiao.

"Well!" Qiao Xuan said hello and then started to check the road they built yesterday. Yesterday's progress was pretty good, and a small section of both sides had been built.

Perhaps because they were afraid that if they did not do well, they would be kicked out by Qiao Xuan and lose the opportunity to earn fifty coins, everyone worked very meticulously and did not do anything perfunctorily.

Qiao Xuan clapped his hands and called everyone together, "Let's have a small meeting."

A group of people put down their tools and approached Qiao Xuan nervously, wondering if the work was not done well and their wages would be deducted?

"I just saw it and everyone is doing a good job. I hope everyone can keep up and continue to work hard."

As soon as Qiao Xuan finished speaking, everyone visibly breathed a sigh of relief.

"If someone makes trouble while we are building the road, don't be polite. Control the person and I will handle it. At the same time, we must work together to protect the fruits of everyone's work yesterday."

"Got it?"

"I got it! Don't worry, Chief Qiao. If anyone comes to cause trouble, I, Chuck, will be the first to stop him." A tall man in the crowd, with a strong build, patted his chest and said loudly.

"So are we!"

Whoever causes trouble is the one who will cut off their financial resources, so they will not be leniently spared.

Qiao Xuan was very satisfied with their reaction. After scanning around, he landed on a few people in Taoyuan Village.

Those people avoided looking directly at Qiao Xuan. They understood what Qiao Xuan said and they also knew that the people in the village wanted to drive away these people from other villages.

They are now caught in a dilemma. After getting along yesterday, they have no hostility towards these people from other villages, but they cannot stand on the opposite side of the other people in Taoyuan Village.

We can only pretend to be deaf and dumb and continue to look at the situation.

"Okay! That's all I have to say, let's go to work."

Qiao Xuan waved his hand to signal everyone to get busy, and Xi He drove the bullock cart. He had an outstanding temperament and stood out among the group of people.

"Village Chief Qiao, Chief Qiao" Xi He tied the cow under a big tree. Before he could reach Qiao Xuan, he saw Xu Gui coming from the road below.

Qiao Xuan turned around when he heard the voice, "Why is Village Chief Xu here?"

Could it be that she regretted it and wanted to get back some of the money she gave her last night? She thought to herself.

Xi He quickened his pace and strode to Qiao Xuan before Xu Gui reached Qiao Xuan.

The matter with Xu Gui's grandson was settled. Now he was no longer dull and noticed Xi He's hostility towards him.

"I'm here specifically to thank Village Chief Qiao." When he said this, he glanced at Xi He specifically, as if to explain himself.

"The scene was a bit chaotic last night. I didn't have time to thank Village Chief Qiao properly. In addition, I apologize to Village Chief Qiao on behalf of my confused old woman!"

Xu Gui took out a bamboo basket behind him and uncovered the cloth covering it, revealing a piece of fat and thin meat.

"I hope Village Chief Qiao will accept it even though I am so small." He is not stupid. It is of great benefit to make friends with people like Qiao Xuan. If you have any trouble in the future, you can seek her help.

His old lady is short-sighted and only cares about immediate interests and does not plan for the long term.

How could Qiao Xuan not see what Xu Gui was thinking, he just saw through it but didn't reveal it.

"Village Chief Xu, I won't collect the things. I already collected what I should have collected last night," she said with a polite smile.

Xu Gui was anxious, thinking that Qiao Xuan was angry with Wang Cuilan, "Your Aunt Wang is just that kind of person. Don't be as knowledgeable as her. If you save Xiaobao, you are the benefactor of our family."

"Village Chief Xu misunderstood! I won't accept it because our profession can only take what we should take, and we can't touch anything that doesn't belong to us. It has nothing to do with Aunt Wang. Yesterday's matter is over, and I also took the money from Xu Village

You no longer need to remember it in your mind."

Qiao Xuan is not a greedy person.
