Farmer's eldest sister becomes rich

Chapter 117 Consult with the Village Chief

An Yue thought that it would be better not to walk on the small path on a rainy day as it would be easy to slip.

So, after she walked out of the yard gate, she turned right.

She stood outside the yard and looked thoughtfully at the land near the east wall.

Then she prepared to walk to the west end of the village along the main road.

The spring breeze and drizzle moisten everything silently.

At first glance, the weeds on both sides of the road have grown much taller.

An Yue found the village chief's house based on her memory.

Arriving at the gate, the village chief's courtyard gate is tall and imposing. There are exquisite patterns carved on the two tall wooden doors, and a pair of stone lions are placed on both sides of the door.

An Yue walked forward and knocked on the door.

Boom boom boom!

"Here I come." It was Qin's voice.

After a moment, the door opened.

An Yue smiled and shouted, "Auntie."

When Qin saw that it was Anyue, she smiled and said, "Oh! It's Yueyue? Come in quickly."

After saying that, Qin pulled An Yue into the door with a kind smile on her face. After closing the door, she happily took An Yue's hand and walked towards the main house.

An Yue walked into the main house, which was very spacious and bright.

"Aunt, this is your basket." After saying that, An Yue handed the basket in her hand to Qin.

Qin smiled and said, "Just keep it for Yueyue to use."

"That won't do! You helped Yueyue a lot by bringing so many eggs and meat last time. Yueyue is already very grateful."

Qin took the basket from An Yue's hand with a smile and said, "Child, why are you saying these things? You two siblings have saved your aunt's life!"

After Qin put the basket away, she went to the table, brought a cup of tea and handed it to An Yue.

An Yue took the teacup from Qin's hand, and then she sat in front of An Yue with a happy face.

An Yue looked around and asked, "Aunt, is Uncle at home today?"

"What's the matter? Is there something wrong with Yueyue?"

An Yue smiled obediently and nodded.

"That's fine. Yueyue, drink your tea here and sit quietly for a while. I'll go and call him over."

After saying that, Qin walked towards the west room.

An Yue looked around the main room. There were several calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall, and a teacup on the table nearby. The scent of tea seemed to be faintly emanating from it, giving it a somewhat literary atmosphere.

At this time, the village chief and his wife walked into the main house from the yard.

Village chief Li Huairen looked at An Yue sitting in the main room and said with a smile, "Yue Yue is here?"

"Uncle, I'm so sorry to bother you with Yueyue's visit."

After the village head and his wife entered the house, they sat down next to An Yue. The village head smiled and said, "It's okay, it's okay. I heard from your aunt that Yue Yue wanted to see me for something, so I hurried over to take a look."

"Yes! Yueyue wants to discuss something with Uncle."

When the village chief heard about the discussion, he raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "Oh? Then Yueyue, tell me, what is it?"

An Yue took out the sketch from her pocket and handed it to the village chief Li Huairen for review.

The village chief took it, opened it quickly, and asked, "What is this...?"

"Uncle, Aunt, can you take Yueyue to the toilet?"

"This..." The village chief looked a little embarrassed after hearing what An Yue said.

Qin said, "Yueyue, your aunt will take you there."

An Yue smiled and said, "No, no, no, you two elders have misunderstood!"

"Yueyue means that we take this sketch and go to the toilet together. Yueyue can explain it more accurately."

The couple were a little surprised to hear An Yue say this.

"That's fine." With that, the three of them stood up and walked towards the toilet in the corner of the yard.

Usually the outhouse is located in the east or west corner of the yard, and the village chief's house is located in the west corner.

An Yue pointed at the toilet and said, "Uncle, you see, the manure pits in our village are all so shallow and small, but farming requires a lot of fertilizer."

"The sketch Yueyue drew is a septic tank."

An Yue pointed at the blueprint and said, "If we dig the manure pit to a depth of two to three meters, pour all the excrement into it, and let it pile up and ferment."

"If every household does this, there will be endless manure water all year round."

"Yueyue, we have tried your method before, but we didn't dig as deep as you said."

"Yes, we must dig deep."

"But, this..." The village chief hesitated.

An Yue added: "Yueyue knows that this method is risky and it is a waste of money and energy."

"So I thought I'd start with my own family first, hoping that my uncle would support Yueyue."

Seeing that An Yue was so concerned about this matter, the village chief thought that, on a small scale, this was also a way of repaying a favor. On a big scale, if this matter was accomplished, it would benefit the entire village, so he was willing to help run errands.

The village head and his wife looked at each other, nodded, turned to An Yue and said, "When do you want to start construction, Yueyue?"

An Yue said seriously: "Just one or two months!"

Although he is small in stature, he always speaks like an adult.

However, the village chief and his wife did not find it new. After all, they had seen it last time at An's house, so they were not surprised this time.

The village chief thought for a moment, then looked up and asked, "Yueyue, how do you want Uncle to help you?"

If this matter can be successful, it will benefit the whole village. If it fails, he will not suffer any loss.

"Yueyue knew that she had little influence, so she had to ask her uncle to help find two people to do the work."

An Yue continued, "Yue Yue has something else she would like to ask Uncle for help with."

Village chief Li Huairen narrowed his eyes and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Yueyue wants to buy the land on the east side of the yard. I need my uncle's help to mediate this matter."

The village chief asked again: "What are you buying the land for?"

An Yue pursed her lips and said, "Yueyue wants to start a new courtyard."

Qin reminded them, "It's a good thing for you two to have a new courtyard every month, but it will cost a lot of money!"

An Yue nodded and asked, "How much money do you think it will cost?"

Qin frowned and said, "I can't tell you exactly how much money it will cost at this moment, but just from what you said, I feel that it will cost a lot of money!"

The village chief asked, "Has Yueyue ever thought about the money?"

An Yue quickly added: "Please rest assured, Uncle, regarding the money, Yueyue will definitely take care of it."

After saying that, she took out a tael of silver from her bosom and handed it to the village chief.

The village chief looked at the silver in his hand, then looked at An Yue, and asked in confusion: "What is Yue Yue doing?"

An Yue smiled faintly and said, "Please accept Yue Yue's little gift."

Qin quickly took the silver from her husband and handed it to An Yue, saying, "Yueyue, if you need help from your uncle and aunt, we are happy to help."

"But we can't accept your money!"

"From now on, we will need your help in handling all the big and small matters. We can't let you work in vain!"

Qin held An Yue's hand and patted it gently, saying:
