Chapter 362 Dismissal (2)
Three days later, Ji Xiaou looked at the delayed potato field for a long time, and then asked the village chief to notify everyone in the village.
"Old Li, why did your daughter call us all here?"
"Yeah, yeah? I have a lot of things waiting for me at home."
"Old Li, please tell me, don't you know either?"
"Your girl has made so much money, do you want to make money with us?"
"..."
A bunch of familiar and unfamiliar people surrounded Uncle Li, wanting to know some "inside information" in advance.
"What could it be? If she comes to you, it must be for either good or bad reasons." Uncle Li refused to be persuaded and walked over leisurely while smoking a water pipe.
No matter what it is, he will definitely support it.
Seeing that they couldn't get anything out of Uncle Li, everyone stopped asking and gathered in front of an open space in the village, where the village chief had been waiting for a long time.
"Is everyone here?" asked the village chief.
"Everyone who can come is here. Village chief, what's the matter? Do you have to call everyone here?"
"Yeah! I have a lot of things to do at home!"
"Where is she? Why hasn't she come out yet when we asked her to come over?"
"Village Chief, is there anything important going on here?"
"I'm still cooking at home. Can I go back first if nothing else?"
"..."
Everyone started talking at once. The village chief coughed twice but no one stopped. He knocked hard on the crowbar, and everyone was startled and finally quieted down.
"Have you all shut up? Okay, old girl, you come up and talk to them." Seeing that everyone was quiet, the village chief said to Ji Xiaowu, who had been waiting for a long time, and made room for her to come up.
"Dear uncles, aunts, uncles and aunts, you all are familiar with me and know my story. Many of you have watched me grow up since I was a child. I called you here today because I have something important to tell you." Ji Xiaomu stood beside the village chief and said solemnly to everyone.
"Old girl, just say what you want to say. We all know you." An old lady responded from the bottom. Old girl Ji nodded and continued.
"Everyone knows that I married Fang Chen, and they also know that I opened a pastry shop, rented fields and leased mountains in the village... Aren't you all curious about why I did this?" After Ji Xiaomu finished speaking, everyone nodded.
"Are you going to tell us how you make money? I'd love to hear that." The lady said happily.
"Making money is a small matter. In the future, everyone's food and clothing will be the most important thing." Ji Xiaomu said to everyone, "We are a small village. Everyone may not be very interested in what is happening outside. They think that the world is far away and will definitely not affect our small place."
"But in fact, everyone knows that I have been out for a while. This time I came here to tell you the truth. The old emperor is dead, and his four sons are fighting for the throne. You may think that this has nothing to do with us, but what I want to say is this. The fiefdoms of three of the four princes are near us. Think about it, if they really fight, who will suffer? It's us!" Ji Xiao's words were like thunder out of the blue, and everyone was stunned.
"Is...we going to have a war again?" An old man's body was shaking, and even his voice was trembling.
"The old prince is dead, and he died of poisoning. Several sons are suspects. They all think that others are the murderer, and they are unwilling to recognize anyone else as the new emperor. It's only a matter of time before a fight breaks out. This is what I'm worried about. In fact, we are also in their fiefdom, but we are on the edge. This edge means that if a fight breaks out, we will definitely be the first to suffer." Ji Xiaomu sighed.
