258 Unkind

“These lots are good children.” Uncle Tian was extremely happy.

“If you bought cattles, you would need to build a cattle shed, right?” Chief Lu said with a smile.

Xue Dafu laughed. “It’s already been prepared. Everything is ready. I plan to build it at the entrance of the village, just like Tian did.”

Chief Lu smiled again. “It’s best to build it together. In the future, there will be people who need land to build houses. We can’t let the cattle shed take up too much land. Your cattle shed can be built next to the Tian’s. In the future, whoever has cattles can be built next to your house. If this continues, it will take up less land.”

The village chief had a point, and since the village was under the village chief’s jurisdiction, Xue Dafu and Tian naturally had no objections.

Even after Xue Dafu, Jiang Yue, and Xue Yan had left with the cattles and the pigs, and Xue Da and the others had gone home, the crowd still hadn’t dispersed.

Someone said, “Must be nice to be rich.”

“That’s right. But don’t you think it’s strange? Where did such a big family get so much silver? No matter how I calculate the labor work for that family, it doesn’t match up.”

“Yes, yes. The blind bear is only worth a hundred silver, and the caramel candy can only make that much. Everyone knows the price of each, so we can also estimate how much money that family makes from selling candy. They bought so many fields, and now they even bought cattles and pigs. Even if that family had some money saved up in the past, it’s impossible for them to have so much money. Right?”

“Why do you care so much?” Chief Lu said unhappily. He just couldn’t stand everyone talking about this. “As long as it wasn’t stolen or robbed, why should you care where they got the money from?”

“That’s true. That’s true.” Some people smiled. “But… Chief, don’t you think that they’re a little unkind? They know how to make candy, so why don’t they teach us how to do it? Otherwise, we can also earn some money too. We might not earn that much compared to them in a year.”

Before Chief Lu could say anything, Li Qingshu scolded, “Who knew that there would be such a shameless person like you? I didn’t even notice you until you spoke! Why don’t you take a look at what right they have to teach you how to make the candy? How is that rude? Let’s not talk about whether you have the capital to do it or not! We already know that it is dangerous to make candy! Using more than sixty kilograms of grain would result in arrest, which is a serious crime. They would either be beheaded or exiled if they were found out! If Dafu’s family taught it and everyone did it, then even if it was pioneered by Dafu’s family, the death sentence would be on Dafu’s family. There are so many families in our village, do you think we can get away with it that easily?! Do you want uncle Dafu’s family to be beheaded or exiled!”

“Yes, yes, you’re being ridiculous.” The others also criticized this person.

“See?” Chief Lu chided, “You’re the only one who has the nerve to ask for that!”

Although the man was not convinced, he still blushed and couldn’t get out of the situation.

Among the people present, this person was not the only one who had such thoughts. It was just that the others themselves felt that they were too shameless and did not dare to say it. Now that this person had angered the public, the other people who had such thoughts naturally did not dare to say it.

…

Xue Sifu led the cattle home, and Xue Wufu followed beside it like a monkey. He was still very excited and kept telling Jiang Yue and Xue Yan to look at it. “There are so many cattles in the market. I don’t know how to pick at all. It’s all Xue Sifu and Erfu’s work. Xue Sifu even haggled with the others. Originally, the cattle asked for six silver. Anyway, we saved three to four hundred coins, which was enough to buy the piglet.” As he said that, he glanced at the little pig that was being picked up by their Yifu, Xue Yifu.
