They've all separated, so what does it matter to me if they get poorer and poorer?

Chapter 239 Not giving in
When it doesn't concern them, they prefer to mind their own business. The people of Loujia Village are all watching the show. No matter how much they despise or look down on Lou Da and Lou Er's family, no one will easily offend their own people. But when it comes to their own vested interests, who will be polite to them?
Aunt Lou and her family were furious.

"What's it to you? Why are you all so nosy! Li San's wife, did I occupy your house? Lou Qi's mother, you try meddling and saying another word?"

"Hey, you're doing things unfairly yourself, and you don't even allow others to say it?"

"Exactly! If you don't want people to talk about it, why do you still do it? You're being completely unreasonable!"

The two sides got into a war of words, and Xu Zhichun ended up being left out of the conversation.

Just right.

Having saved his energy, Xu Zhichun simply watched the excitement from the sidelines.

She wasn't angry that the people from Loujia Village hadn't helped her before; it was only human nature. They were all worldly-wise and shrewd people, and she had no reason to expect them to favor her, an outsider.

Lou Lizheng watched the infighting with a cold eye. Seeing that Aunt Lou's family was being torn apart by the villagers and was on the verge of losing their temper and going crazy, Lou Lizheng coughed and finally stepped in to take charge.

"Ahem, alright, alright, what's with all this arguing? Stop it! We're all from the same village, even if we're not related, we're still connected. Isn't it embarrassing to keep arguing like this? Aunt Lou, I think your family is more at fault. Regardless of whether Madam Xu said those words or not, she's made herself perfectly clear. It's her place, and we can't just ignore her words, can we?"

"If you're going to give me face, I'll just treat this as a misunderstanding and let it go. If you're not willing to give me face, then I don't care. Whether Madam Xu wants to report it to the authorities or what, that's up to her."

It is unreasonable for you to forcibly occupy someone else's house.

If it really comes to the authorities, even a fool would know who would suffer.

The Lou family was both angry and resentful.

They were just taking advantage of their local power, and because they had inquired about Zeng Xiaojuan's situation before, they knew that Xu Zhichun was helpless and alone—helpless and alone but with a little money, so who else would they bully if not her?
I never expected she would have servants, including that stupid girl with incredible strength.

Great!
Things have come to this point, it's completely over.

"She had people throw away and damage our things—"

"If you're not satisfied, then you might as well report it to the authorities. I'll compensate you according to the court's judgment."

"you--"

"Out of respect for Lou Lizheng, I will not hold you accountable for forcibly entering a private residence, nor will I ask for your compensation. If you still want to push your luck, then you will have no choice but to report it to the authorities."

"."

Lou Lizheng had to close his slightly open mouth again.

He originally wanted Xu Zhichun to give him a few taels of silver to settle things. No matter how unruly the Lou family was, they were still surnamed Lou. Xu Zhichun forcefully kicked them out of the house, and the village head felt that he had hurt the pride of Loujia Village. However, since Xu Zhichun had made his position clear, he couldn't say anything more.

Even though he knew it was a metal plate and that kicking it would hurt his foot, he wasn't stupid enough to insist on kicking it.

Forget it, this family was the one who acted recklessly first, no wonder people are angry.

Lou Lizheng then put on a stern face: "Why are you looking at me? You were in the wrong first. Even if they smashed your belongings, it's your own fault. Now get back to your place."

Aunt Lou glared at Xu Zhichun fiercely: "You just wait!" "Fine, who doesn't have a temper? If you really piss me off, I'll risk everything and spend all my money to get my revenge. If you think you can afford to fight me, then come on."

The villagers of Loujia Village felt a chill run down their spines, and those who had harbored ulterior motives and were trying to take advantage of the chaos to rob others abandoned their plans.

This Lady Xu is truly a tiger!
Aunt Lou and her family left in anger.

Xu Zhichun bid farewell to Lou Lizheng and returned to the courtyard with Yang Xiaoan and Liang Chunfen.

Since the lock was lost, she decided to buy a new one tomorrow.

"You can stay here for now. Come with two or three people, and I'll show you the land and tell you how to prepare it in the next few days. I'll come back in a few days to take you to see the paddy fields and bring back a lock. You'll be responsible for cultivating and taking care of the two hundred acres of land. If you can't manage during the spring planting and autumn harvest, I'll hire some more people. Are four oxen enough to plow and harrow the two hundred acres of paddy fields?"

With so much land, we'll definitely need to buy oxen for plowing.

Zhang Quan and the others' eyes lit up, and they nodded quickly: "That's enough, Madam, four cows are enough."

Xu Zhichun nodded and said, "From now on, Zhang Quan will temporarily take the lead in managing the affairs of this farm. Both of your families should listen to Zhang Quan, discuss everything together, do your own things well, and you can visit the village more often to build relationships, but don't easily listen to other people's nonsense, and don't easily tell others about your own affairs. Also, we are, after all, outsiders, so be careful in everything you do."

"Yes, ma'am."

Xu Zhichun nodded and led his people around the courtyard.

This estate isn't actually located in the main village of Loujia Village, but rather on the edge of it. It's a spacious area of ​​over thirty acres with a small hillside. At this time of year, there aren't many crops in the fields, just some vegetables in the garden and a few scattered fruit trees on the hillside.

The paddy fields aren't here; it's about a 20-minute walk away.

Zhang Quan's wife and others hurriedly asked if it was okay to grow vegetables in the garden. Xu Zhichun nodded, "The three of you can discuss it and grow them together. There are fewer people now, so there aren't so many rules. Just get along well and discuss everything."

The three families readily agreed.

They were servants who had been bought, and naturally held a certain degree of awe in front of their masters. Moreover, they hadn't even entered the door today, yet they had already witnessed their mistress's domineering side, making them even more obsequious and afraid to act rashly.

The lady is not as gentle and harmless as she appears, nor is she someone who can be easily manipulated.
After leaving Loujia Village, Xu Zhichun asked Yang Xiaoan to drive the carriage to the county school.

Today, she specially loaded a basket of sweet potatoes and a basket of potatoes, along with some tomatoes and strawberries, onto the oxcart, intending to take them to the teachers at the county school.

After entering the city, I bought some things for Liang Mingxuan and delivered them to him at the same time.

Sweet potatoes, potatoes, snow lotus fruit, tomatoes, strawberries—who doesn't love them these days? The county college president and teachers had all heard a bit about sweet potatoes and potatoes and were quite curious. Xu Zhichun said that his family planted dozens of acres, with a yield of two to three thousand catties per acre, which was a lot. Only then did the president and the others happily accept the offer.

Liang Mingxuan was also very happy, his eyes sparkling as he looked at his sister-in-law: "Sister-in-law is amazing!"

He knew that his family grew sweet potatoes and potatoes, and he had even personally watered the strawberry seedlings in the backyard, which were growing vigorously and lushly. But he never expected that the strawberry fruit would amaze everyone when it ripened.

Xu Zhichun raised her eyebrows in triumph, gently patted his shoulder, and smiled with satisfaction: "When you come home for your day off, your sister-in-law will show you around our family's territory. Our family is quite a large household now. You should study hard at the county school and don't worry about your sister-in-law."

Liang Mingxuan smiled and nodded: "I'll listen to my sister-in-law."

Xu Zhichun left the county school in a good mood to go home, but he was stopped halfway there, and his mood was not so good.
