When the three rs heard Yu Dong ntion ' The Big Stone Village,' they were suddenly alard. Wasn't this village the one whose people tried to eat their children?
" Wife, what are you talking about? How can you even help those people?" Chen Mi questioned as he looked at Yu Dong with a frown, he placed the basket in which he brought the fish from the river and then said to Yu Dong, " Those people tried to eat our children. How can we help them?"
Ye Liu nodded and agreed with Chen Mi. He helped Yu Mai from his arms and then put him on the ground before turning to look at Yu Dong as he said, " Those people almost killed us and the villagers. If they heard that you are thinking of buying their village, they might be really upset. They might even revolt."
The grudge between the two villages was too strong. If they reached out to help the Big Stone Village, it would be similar to applying ointnt to a scorpion only for the helping hand to be stung with poison.
When Yu Dong heard the concerns of her two husbands, she shook her head and then said, " The reason I asked Ke Jin to take a look at that village is that I heard from so of the villagers that the people of the Big Stone Village have long moved away and only those who have nowhere to go are left behind." She paused and added, " In fact, I think the second the villagers find out that they can now order the villagers of the Big Stone village, they might be very much willing to take that village into ours."
Yu Dong knew the villagers very well. Though they did hold a grudge against the Big Stone Village, they were also arrogant and upset with the actions of the Big Stone Village. Last ti they were not able to deal with the Big Stone Village but if the Big Stone Village was bought by Yu Dong then they would surely have a way to deal with those who tried to harm them.
There was a reason why Yu Dong chose the Big Stone Village, that village already had a criminal record thus they would take every step carefully. If she had to make a choice then she would rather choose a village whose villagers would be so careful that they would walk on eggshells around her and the villagers.
" Anyway, I am the one who is going to buy that village. It will have nothing to do with the Big River Village," Yu Dong waved her hand. She then turned to look at Gu Ke Jin and said, " Make sure to take a look at that village. If they are willing to sell their lands and beco slaves then tell them that they will get to keep their lands.
I will be in charge of handing them work and salary every month. Not only will three mbers of one family will get a job but their salary will be one tael and five hundred cents. That is to say, each person will receive five hundred copper coins. If they are willing then tell the current head to co and et ."
Gu Ke Jin thought about it and nodded. " Then I will take a look."
The three rs looked at one another before turning to look at Yu Dong. As they looked at Yu Dong, they could not help but be amazed. It had been only a year since Yu Dong ca into their lives but she had changed their lives completely.
There was a ti when they were living in a house which had a roof that leaked in the rain but now they were rich enough to buy a village!
Gu Ke Jin was about to take her leave but Yu Dong stopped her and then threw her arm around Gu Ke Jin's shoulder before saying, " Where are you going? Let's go and drink. We are going to beco proud owners of the first mall in the Big River Town. Let's celebrate."
And before Gu Ke Jin could refuse, she was dragged inside the house by Yu Dong who was rather happy with everything going according to her will.

CRASH!
" Are you saying that the rcenaries that I sent to that village failed?" Xia Xieren yelled at her trusted aide who was kneeling in front of her, the trusted aide was trembling with fear as she looked at the ground.
The trusted aide trembled and then replied, "It's not that the plan failed. The village was indeed set on fire but the villagers were able to calm down the fire as for the rcenaries, I can't reach them."
She had sent a lot of letters to the rcenaries who were hired to kill the villagers of the Big River Village but they never replied to her.
When Xie Xieren heard that the rcenaries were not replying, she clenched the teacup in her hands and then threw it at the trusted aide who did not dare to dodge it. The warm tea spilt on her head before the cup hit her on the forehead. Warm blood spilt out of her broken skin as she kowtowed in front of Xie Xieren and then said, " Forgive this one, Your Majesty. This servant made a mistake.
I will look for decent rcenaries this ti around."
" Whats the point? They will be on guard now !" When Xie Xieren thought about how Li Wan might be silently helping her half-sister regain her military power, she could not help but grit her teeth. That woman!
She was her bane and the one who was an even bigger bane was that unknown woman who handed the oil mill to Li Wan, letting her control not only the oil flow of that town but also the capital as the officials could not restrain themselves from eating the als cooked in that oil!
Just the thought of all that money falling into the pockets of Xie Zhenya left tremors down Xie Xieren's spine.
