Chapter 164 The Abacus Crackles
These villagers not only built Yue Niang's house, but also Shen Yitian's and Song family's second branch's houses. With the help of these people, they were almost finished building them in one day.
If we are talking about paying, Shen Yitian and the others naturally have to pay as well.
Looking at the enthusiasm of these villagers, Shen Yitian was indeed moved.
But when she thought about how they said yesterday that they wanted to capture her and sacrifice her alive to the Dragon King, she felt very uncomfortable.
If she let them go like this, she would feel very unwilling.
But from this perspective, these people are also very simple...
"Thank you all for your hard work. Let's have dinner together tomorrow." She stepped forward and said to everyone.
Although the villagers had been talking to Shen Yitian, no one thought she would actually respond.
After all, they knelt at the door for so long last night, but the Dragon Queen didn't come out to say a word to anyone.
But Shen Yitian just said it.
Not only did he tell them, he also invited them to have dinner together tomorrow.
Lady Dragon, please invite everyone to dinner!
After everyone was stunned for a moment, a burst of cheers broke out from this side.
They screamed and ran around to tell each other, as if they had made an agreement. Everyone kept shouting that the Dragon Girl had given her blessings and was going to treat everyone to a meal.
Shen Yitian was so embarrassed. She had never thought that one day she would become a god in the eyes of others.
Everything is for self-protection!
Everyone dispersed happily, but Shen Yitian looked at the house in front of her, which had already been beamed and tiled, and she was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
I originally just wanted these people to stop talking about living sacrifices, but who would have thought that they would actually come to help build the house.
But it's not bad after it's built. Although the courtyard over there was rented by Grandma Li, it was someone else's house after all. Shen Yitian always felt hesitant when living in it, for fear of damaging something in someone else's house.
Even Grandma Li was a little confused, as it had been planned to take a few more days before the roofing of the house could be completed.
The furniture she ordered will take a few days to be delivered, and she can't move in immediately even if the house is completed today.
But now that the house is ready, she can go to the furniture ordering place tomorrow and take a look at the ready-made ones.
Lao Xu's catch today was the same as before. Shen Yitian and Yue Niang just paid for their share and he sent it to Maidong.
What’s different from the past is that today, not only Yue Niang and Shen Yitian bought fish, but people from the second branch of the Song family also bought fish from Lao Xu.
They actually bought fish before, but they bought it from the fisherman who taught them, but today it was Lao Xu.
And today, Lao Xu’s harvest was indeed good.
Fortunately, they used a large fishing boat, otherwise he would have worried about whether he would be able to catch the fish.
After paying the shares required of several families, Shen Yitian also bought up all the remaining fish.
Since I was going to treat everyone to a meal the next day and I needed food anyway, I just bought all of Lao Xu's stuff.
Lao Xu was so excited that he ran back home and brought back another big bag of things.
When Shengsheng opened it, she saw that it was filled with kelp and some dried fish, shrimp and other things.
The bag that Lao Xu gave them in the morning actually contained a lot of dried shrimps, but those could be eaten directly, while the ones sent this time needed to be cooked in a pot.
Shen Yitian smiled embarrassedly: "You guys are saving these things to eat when it's cold, right? Bring them all here. What will you eat when it's cold or windy?"
Old Xu waved his hands repeatedly: "Don't worry, Dragon Lady, we have food to eat. Besides, you bought most of the fish we caught these days, so our family will have enough money to celebrate the New Year this year."
He was grinning from ear to ear, looking happy and excited.
Yes, it is easy for ordinary fishermen to catch fish, but it is difficult to sell fish.
Many times they could only keep the fish they caught for themselves, which was barely enough to fill their stomachs.
But it would be different if Shen Yitian bought everything. The fish became money, and they could buy rice, oil, and even more things.
Seeing that his smile didn't seem fake, Shen Yitian accepted the package.
But when he left, he asked Xiao Wei to stuff a few coins into his pocket.
Dry goods are not weighed, and if you really want to buy them, these things are worth a few cents.
She didn't intend to be a good person in the village, but she also didn't want to take advantage of anyone.
The next day was a rainy day.
We agreed to treat everyone to a meal, but it was raining heavily outside and we couldn't even set up the tables and chairs.
Shen Yitian was worried, and Lao Xu told her that there was an ancestral hall in the village and she could go to the ancestral hall to handle any important matters.
However, the traditional rule in the village is that people outside the village are not allowed to enter the ancestral hall.
Shen Yitian and others were exiled here. Although they lived in Maoer Village, they did not belong to the village.
Of course they couldn't enter the ancestral hall casually, but Lao Xu said that Shen Yitian was inviting villagers from the village to dinner, so it was not against the rules to prepare the banquet in the ancestral hall.
But whether or not one can enter depends on the village chief Maidong.
Well, I have to deal with Ophiopogon japonicus again.
Shen Yitian was very reluctant to see this person, always feeling that he was full of bad intentions.
She didn't want to see Maidong, and why would Maidong want to see her?
He originally wanted to incite the villagers to kidnap Shen Yitian, and then he would come forward to help Shen Yitian, so that he could take the opportunity to bring this rich lady back to his home to be his daughter-in-law.
In this way, his son would no longer have to struggle in this remote village like himself.
Who knew that everything did not develop according to his plan. Not only did Shen Yitian not need his help, she even turned into a dragon girl.
The Dragon Girl, ah, was chosen by the Dragon King himself.
These fishermen are so afraid of the Dragon King. If Shen Yitian becomes a dragon girl, doesn’t that mean her status in this village will be higher than theirs in the future?
He couldn't allow such a thing to happen, even if the other party was the Dragon Girl.
In this cat-ear village, he is the only one who can command the villagers.
He was feeling upset at home when he heard Lao Xu's voice outside.
"Is the village chief home? The Dragon Lady wants to see you about something."
As soon as he heard the name of Dragon Girl, Maidong felt his head buzzing.
However, there were several villagers following Lao Xu. Maidong didn't want to go out, but with so many people coming, he couldn't just leave them there.
He walked out reluctantly, and his stern face turned into a smiling one as he stepped out of the door.
"Hahaha, the Dragon Queen has arrived. What advice do you have for me?"
He smiled in a flattering way, and although it was not sincere, it was acceptable on the surface.
He cannot confront Shen Yitian head-on now, so he has to find a way to pull her down from the position of Dragon Girl first.
When she is down and out, my family will lend a helping hand. Are you still afraid that this weak woman will not enter my home?
Maidong was calculating in his mind while inviting everyone to come into the house. He also asked his son to make hot tea for everyone.
Outside, the sea breeze was howling and the rain was pouring down. Everyone was almost soaked after walking this distance. They really wanted to have a cup of hot tea.
