It's easy to be generous with others' money when it's not in your own pocket.
The village head held great power. Who could earn how many work - points and what kind of land they could farm were all up to him.
But it was obvious that the situation was about to change. In the future, the village head would just be an ordinary village head.
Could he control how others made money?
Yun Que'er didn't bother to deal with such a despicable person and naturally wasn't afraid of him. She didn't take Ji Chengxuan's words to heart.
Ji Chengxuan was silent for a while, then suddenly whispered a reminder.
"Caution ensures long - term success. You don't want to turn a good thing bad, do you?"
"Got it." Yun Que replied impatiently. "I advise you to get prepared earlier too. Be cautious, but after all, your family is also from the village. Who wouldn't take an opportunity when it comes?"
One should seize opportunities, but one had to know when the right time was. Ji Chengxuan thought to himself.
Suddenly, Ji Chengxuan reached out his hand to Yun Que'er.
"Since we've decided to cooperate, we should share good things, right?"
Yun Que'er took a step back and guarded the seeds in her hand warily.
"What are you doing? I bought all these. Do you even want to take this small advantage?"
"Didn't you just teach me that one should never miss an opportunity?"
Ji Chengxuan stuck out his tongue playfully at Yun Que'er, quickly snatched the seed bag from her hand, grabbed a handful of seeds and ran away.
"Hey, taking without asking is stealing. Don't you even understand this?" Yun Que'er chased after him angrily.
Ji Chengxuan waved the seeds in his hand and left a handsome back for Yun Que'er.
"We're on the same side. Consider it a gift for me!"
Who would give him a gift!
Yun Que'er stopped, gasping for breath while glaring angrily at Ji Chengxuan's back.
Looking at how lively he was, he didn't look like a patient with a fractured foot at all. He could even run faster than herself!
Yun Que'er then took Yun Fujin to the blacksmith's shop. She talked to the blacksmith for a long time, telling him about the farming tools she wanted. They agreed that she would bring their old tools the next day for the blacksmith to repair.
After that, the sun became hotter, so they went home.
After lunch, Yun Que'er took a short nap. Then she immediately got up and went to the shady area behind the house to continue her business with the system.
Yun Que'er had accumulated a lot of favorability points. Now she could draw a lottery whenever she wanted, unlike before when she always had very few points.
Some of the tools she had exchanged through the lottery before were already broken. Besides having them repaired by the blacksmith, she also needed some other handy tools.
Moreover, Yun Que'er had calculated that when the land was distributed to each family and they were too busy, they would surely need to hire others to help. So she needed more tools.
If the tools were easy to use, she could also sell them, which would be another source of income.
Yun Que'er was lucky. As she wished, she only got a few useless odds and ends, and the rest were all the tools she wanted.
Yun Que'er looked at the spoils in front of her happily. After feeling proud for a while, she carried them all into the house.
She was not very strong and couldn't carry them all at once, so she had to make several trips.
She didn't notice that someone passing by outside her backyard had seen her busy figure.
Liu Kui stared in the dark for a while and couldn't help sneering.
This girl always had these strange things. She used to be more secretive, but now she didn't even try to hide them.
Maybe they stole them somewhere?
Liu Kui curled his lips, showing a strange smile.
He still remembered the losses he had suffered in her hands before. He really wanted to see what tricks Yun Que'er could come up with this time. He hoped that what she did was legal, otherwise, it would be her own fault if she was arrested and sent to the cowshed!
In the evening, the sun finally wasn't so hot. After dinner, Yun Que'er picked up the seeds she had just bought today and called on her elder brothers and sisters to carry tools to the back mountain.
"Are we going to open up wasteland and farm?" Yun Jianzhou stared blankly at the back mountain full of weeds and unknown plants. "Here?"
Yun Jianzhou stepped on the hard ground under his feet. "Not to mention that the village doesn't allow us to farm privately. What good crops can grow in this lousy place?"
"Who says they can't grow?" Yun Que'er said confidently. "Hardly anyone comes to the back mountain. We'll just open up a piece of wasteland and plant the new seeds I bought. We'll try slowly and plant whatever grows well in the future."
Yun Jianzhou was extremely surprised. He thought Yun Que'er was talking nonsense in a daze.
"Are you joking? Even if the crops can grow, they won't belong to our family. Xiao Que'er, don't forget who you are just because you've had a few good days. If the village head finds out, he'll surely label us as speculators again."
Hearing Yun Jianzhou's words, Yun Que'er burst out laughing.
The village head always talked about speculation. She wondered if he knew any other words besides these four.
"Second brother, are you afraid of the village head?"
Hearing Yun Que'er's words, Yun Jianzhou got anxious. "Who says I'm afraid of him? I just don't want to cause trouble for our family. Let's do it. If he dares to come, let him talk to me!"
Why didn't he just say so earlier? There was no need to worry so much.
Over - thinking would only hold one back.
Yun Que'er waved her small hand. "Come on, let's get to work. We'll rely on this land to get rich in the future!"
Yun Fujin and the others didn't know where Yun Que'er got her confidence, but seeing that she was so certain that they could get rich from this, they also buried their heads and got busy.
They chose a less conspicuous area, dug out the weeds on it, opened up a piece of land, and sowed the seeds in different areas.
Then, Yun Que'er took out a small bag mysteriously and gave it to Yun Fujin.
"Big brother, sprinkle this in too. Our crops will surely grow the best in the future."
Yun Fujin took it doubtfully, opened it and saw some small white stone - like things inside.
"What is this?" Yun Fujin was confused. "Where did you pick it up?"
"This is called chemical fertilizer." Yun Que'er couldn't help laughing. "Just assume I picked it up. Anyway, it will definitely work when it's sprinkled."
Yun Fujin scratched his head. He had heard of chemical fertilizer, but no one in the village used it.
They still used the most ancient method, which was farmyard manure.
But that stuff smelled really bad, and everyone suffered when it was time to spread the manure. Chemical fertilizer didn't have that suffocating smell, but could it really be more effective than farmyard manure?
