Dressed as a farmer's widow, she brought her daughter to stock up on food and reached the top

Chapter 258 Young Master's Experience

"Do you think you can do whatever you want here just because of your father's low official position? That's just wishful thinking!"

Yang Qingfeng became more and more excited as he spoke, and his voice became louder and louder.

"Even if your father came here in person, he would still have to follow the rules and would not tolerate you guys acting recklessly like this!" Yang Qingfeng puffed out his chest, full of righteousness, leaving Liu Yingying speechless for a moment.

Chen Zexi's face was stern, and he gave an order: "Throw them out!"

After receiving the order, Shi Liu and A Fan immediately took action. They grabbed the silk ribbons that bound the group of people tightly with both hands, and then threw them at the same time.

The silk ribbons that bound everyone seemed to turn into a giant dragon, and with a whistling sound, it threw the group of people out.

This group of people were like thrown sandbags, drawing an arc in the air and then falling heavily to the ground.

"Ouch!"

"It hurts me so much!"

The person who was thrown out let out a scream like the howling of ghosts and wolves.

They rolled on the ground, looking miserable, their previous arrogance had long since disappeared without a trace.

Liu Yingying and Luo Jingan took advantage of the chaos and fled in panic like two frightened mice.

Liu Yingying was pale and her hair was disheveled, while Luo Jingan staggered with a look of fear.

They didn't care about their image and stumbled through the crowd. Liu Yingying's skirt was torn and Luo Jingan lost one of his shoes. They ran desperately towards the distance.

Liu Yingying kept looking back as she ran, her eyes filled with fear and unwillingness. Luo Jing'an was panting, sweating, his legs heavy as if filled with lead, but he didn't dare stop. He kept going until the two of them disappeared around the corner.

Lai Fu, beaming, deftly accepted nine large, fat chickens. Their feathers were bright and their combs were red, showing they had been carefully raised.

He carefully placed the fat chicken in place, then took out a bag of silver from his purse and respectfully handed it to Yang Qingfeng with both hands. Lai Fu bent his waist to 90 degrees, and the smile on his face became more humble.

"Mr. Yang, please keep this. This is seventy or eighty copper coins." Lai Fu's voice was full of flattery and respect.

Yang Qingfeng took the silver, weighed it in his hand, nodded with satisfaction, and said to Lai Fu with a pleased smile on his face, "Thank you, Uncle Fu."

……

Xiuying tied an apron and skillfully led Taohua in the kitchen, busy cooking dinner.

The kitchen was steaming hot, the stove was burning brightly, and the sounds of pots and pans colliding were intertwined.

Taohua was absent-minded, almost dropping the dish in her hand, and asked in confusion: "Mom, why did you let Shiliu and Afan carry Brother Zexi on their backs and go to the provincial capital behind Uncle Qingfeng and the others?" Taohua blinked her big eyes, her face full of confusion.

Xiuying smiled, still chopping vegetables with her hands, and patiently explained, "Taohua, think about it, Zexi will take over the Chen family business in the future. The situation is chaotic now, and Master Chen is not at home, so naturally there will be people with ill intentions who want to take over the Chen family business. This is a good opportunity for Zexi to gain some experience and go through some things, so that he can better deal with various situations in the future." Xiuying's eyes were filled with wisdom and expectation.

"Besides, with Shi Liu and A Fan by his side, they can look after each other." Xiuying added another handful of firewood to the pot and continued, "This is a rare opportunity for Zexi to grow."

The mother and daughter were chatting animatedly when suddenly, the familiar sound of a gong rang out rapidly at the entrance of the village.

The sound of "clang clang clang", three long sounds, is an accepted signal in the village, indicating that people who have gone out of the village have returned.

When Taohua heard this, a happy smile instantly blossomed on her face, and she excitedly shouted, "Mom, I'll go take a look!" Before she finished speaking, she ran out like a happy little rabbit. Her steps were light, and the hem of her skirt fluttered in the wind. In the blink of an eye, she disappeared at the door.

Taohua trotted to the village entrance. Before she could catch her breath, she found a crowd of people gathered there. The crowd was bustling, everyone was talking at once. The village chief was among them, listening intently to Yang Qingfeng and Li Shenghui's conversation.

Yang Qingfeng wiped the sweat from his forehead and told the village chief loudly: "Ma Ergun worked very hard to sell the chickens this time!"

Li Shenghui also echoed, "That's right, Village Chief. The chicken given to the housekeeper of the He Mansion will be deducted from the proceeds of the chicken sale. If it weren't for Ma Ergun's help, this matter would not have been so smooth."

"Ma Ergun not only helped us bargain with the buyers, but also ran around to move the goods. He really worked hard," Yang Qingfeng continued, his eyes full of admiration for Ma Ergun. The surrounding villagers also nodded in recognition of Ma Ergun's efforts.

Finally, after a heated discussion, everyone decided to take out another twenty cents from the money from selling chickens as a reward for Ma Ergun.

Everyone expressed their agreement with the decision and believed that Ma Ergun's contribution deserved the reward.

"It's settled. Ma Ergun has really made a great contribution this time. He should be paid the twenty cents!" An elder with high moral character was the first to express his opinion, and everyone agreed.

"That's right, Ma Ergun deserves it!"

"Give it to him, give it to him!"

After deciding on the reward for Tsuma Ergun, the village chief cleared his throat and said loudly, "The remaining silver will be distributed fairly according to the number of chickens in each household."

The village chief's voice was steady and powerful, so that everyone present could hear it clearly.

"Is everyone okay with this?" The village chief looked around at everyone.

"No problem, that's what we should do!"

"Listen to the village chief!"

The villagers all expressed their agreement, their faces filled with joyful smiles, looking forward to getting the money they deserved.

Yang Qingfeng and Li Shenghui took out the registration booklet solemnly and carefully checked every record.

They first placed the silver they earned from selling chickens neatly on the table in front of them.

Next, Yang Qingfeng began calculating each family's share, following the records in the booklet. His brow furrowed slightly, he muttered to himself, his abacus clacking loudly. Li Shenghui assisted him, checking the numbers to ensure there were no errors.

After a busy and orderly period of intense work, they finally distributed the money from selling chickens accurately to the villagers.

Ma Ergun tightly grasped the silver in his hand, his face beaming with joy, his eyes almost narrowed into slits, his mouth wide open, revealing a row of uneven yellow teeth.

He said to his wife Wang Fuping, who had hurried over to pick him up, with a beaming face: "How is it? Wife, I really made our daughter proud this time!"

Ma Ergun proudly raised the silver in his hand, his face full of pride.

"Qingfeng is a really good guy, he's reliable. If he hadn't led us, we wouldn't have had this great opportunity to make money."
