Chapter 443
"Did you hear that the Deaf Old Lady was rated as a Five Guarantees household?"
An older woman from the neighboring courtyard asked.
"Yes, the First Elder announced it at the general assembly."
The Third Elder's wife replied.
"Another general assembly?"
"I find your courtyard quite strange; how can there be so many general assemblies?"
"In our courtyard, unless the subdistrict office requires it, to study the spirit of the superior's documents, or for safety education, we never hold general assemblies."
"Even if there is something, we just gather the people involved."
The older woman from the neighboring courtyard didn't understand.
Holding a general assembly was too much of a waste of everyone's time.
"Besides, being a Five Guarantees household isn't something glorious; is it worth holding a general assembly to notify everyone?"
Another older woman chimed in.
Jia Zhangshi was very surprised; the Deaf Old Lady became a Five Guarantees household?
"The Deaf Old Lady is an old thing, why should she become a Five Guarantees household?"
"Damn old thing, curse her, choke to death, fall to death, choke to death on water, get hit by a car when going out, fall into the latrine pit and drown."
Jia Zhangshi's resentment was sky-high.
The Deaf Old Lady relied on her old age and seniority to hit her with her cane several times.
Don't look at the Deaf Old Lady as frail; it really hurts to be hit with a cane!
Whoever gets hit knows!
The Deaf Old Lady became a Five Guarantees household; when she hit her with the cane, she dared not resist even more, so how could she not hate her?
Jia Zhangshi didn't notice that the person behind her had a dark face.
It was the Deaf Old Lady!
She was preparing to go out for a stroll and get some activity; just as she walked to the front courtyard, she saw a group of older women gossiping and wanted to join in.
Just as she walked behind Jia Zhangshi, she heard Jia Zhangshi muttering curses at her.
Slap!
The Deaf Old Lady didn't hold back and hit her with the cane.
Ouch!
Jia Zhangshi was hit and it hurt.
"Which old turtle..."
Jia Zhangshi was furious.
Turning around and seeing it was the Deaf Old Lady, she shivered on the spot.
Oh no!
She realized it.
She had been muttering just now, cursing the Deaf Old Lady in a low voice, and she must have heard her.
"Zhang girl, weren't you cursing me to go die?"
"Why don't you continue?"
The Deaf Old Lady hit her with the cane again.
Jia Zhangshi turned and ran.
Slap!
The Deaf Old Lady's cane landed on Jia Zhangshi's butt, and Jia Zhangshi let out another miserable scream.
The older women all laughed.
They were all happy to see Jia Zhangshi get hit.
The Deaf Old Lady pursued relentlessly, chasing Jia Zhangshi all the way to the Jia family door, hitting her six times until Jia Zhangshi fled into her house!
"Zhang girl, if you dare to wag your tongue again, I'll break your dog legs!"
The Deaf Old Lady warned.
Six-mu plot.
Wan Ping'an checked the crops he had planted.
No problems.
Growing well!
Just after checking, Director Wang arrived.
"I have good news for you; your fish farming request has been approved!"
"Take a look at the document, and if there are no problems, sign it."
Director Wang gave Wan Ping'an a document.
Wan Ping'an took it and looked; the cooperation method had changed.
The document clearly stated that as long as Wan Ping'an raised fish, he would have indefinite exclusive use rights to Gourd Lake and the surrounding land.
In exchange, he had to turn over one-tenth of the net profit.
Wan Ping'an signed on the spot!
Director Wang was very happy; the profits turned over from the fish farming were prepared to be used for some new agricultural research projects.
Director Wang left.
Qin Huairu approached, a bit coy and embarrassed.
"Do you have something?"
Wan Ping'an asked proactively.
"Ping'an, can you let my brother come to work at the six-mu plot too?"
Qin Huairu had been at the six-mu plot all along and knew its development prospects very well.
It was just that the reputation hadn't spread yet; if it did, many people would sharpen their heads to get in, fighting for any position!
"Alright, have your brother come tomorrow!"
Wan Ping'an nodded.
From their brief contact, Qin Huairu's brother, Qin Dayong, seemed like a decent person!
"Huairu, it's fine for your brother to come to work, and your younger brother can come too, but one thing must be made clear first to avoid problems later."
"When they come, I can take care of them a bit for your sake."
"However, they cannot mess around; do you understand what I mean?"
Wan Ping'an gave a warning in advance.
"I understand, rest assured, I will make it clear to my brother; if he comes to the six-mu plot, he will be like everyone else, with no special status."
Qin Huairu was a smart woman.
As soon as Wan Ping'an spoke, she knew what he was worried about.
She was also a bit worried.
If Qin Dayong caused trouble, it would affect her relationship with Wan Ping'an.
She decided to go back and have a good talk with Qin Dayong; if it really didn't work, she wouldn't let him come.
Otherwise.
Once something happened.
Wan Ping'an would absolutely not be soft-hearted.
She had a certain understanding of Wan Ping'an; he was sentimental and righteous, yet ruthless, two contradictory characteristics appearing in him at the same time.
The next afternoon.
An unexpected person came to the six-mu plot, specifically asking for Wan Ping'an.
"Why are you here?"
Wan Ping'an looked at Zhang Laizi with surprise.
Some time ago.
Zhang Laizi took Yi Zhonghai's money and spread rumors about him, almost causing him to suffer heavy losses.
"I have a very important piece of news about Yi Zhonghai; do you want to know?"
Zhang Laizi looked greedily at the chickens not far away, then at the pumpkins and golden rice planted in the six-mu plot; his saliva was almost flowing out.
