Chapter 211: Barren Land Becomes Blessed Land

Chapter 211: Barren Land Becomes Blessed Land

"Village chief, I'm afraid to pass by that wasteland at night, for fear that the wronged souls inside will come out."

One of the younger hired workers backed out.

"What's there to be afraid of? As the saying goes, every wrong has its perpetrator, and you said it was a wronged spirit, so it will naturally seek revenge. In all these years, have you seen a wronged spirit seek revenge on anyone's family? Besides, the Gu family has lived here for so many years, and not only is there nothing wrong, but their lives are getting more and more prosperous. Jingzhe is the first student in the village, and your aunt Da Jiao opened the first shop in the village." Liu Tiejian spat and said, "This shows that the wronged spirits also know who the enemies are and who the neighbors are, and they know how to provide free shipping to neighbors."

Tong Huaqiong's mouth twitched.

"You're afraid of something that's in your heart. If you haven't done anything bad, why would you be afraid of ghosts knocking on your door in the middle of the night?"

"Some of you are young and don't know what happened back then. Those who sought refuge in our village were hacked to death before they even arrived. It wasn't the people of Qinghewan who killed them, but those rebel soldiers. Now Mr. Qian from Fengle Building in this town is going to build a house in the back, and he is willing to pay for the salvation of the souls of those who were hacked to death. This is a good thing for both them and us. Why do I say that? For the souls in the ground, they can rest in peace and enter reincarnation soon, and for us, we don't have to worry about the souls coming out anymore. In this case, if we make a contribution and the souls are able to transcend soon, they will definitely thank us and protect us."

Liu Tielian continued to do ideological work for everyone.

Gu Dahan said, "Uncle Liu is right. Think about it, why would they come to us for revenge when we have no grudges against them? If they wanted to take revenge on us, our entire Qinghe Bay would have been a deserted village. Let's put ourselves in their shoes. They died in vain under the swords of the chaotic army and have not been buried or worshipped yet. If we let them bury themselves properly, they will only thank us instead of causing trouble for us. Anyway, I don't know about others, but I'm definitely not afraid."

Liu Tielian and Gu Dahan's words brought about a big change in everyone's mentality.

When I think about it carefully, it is true that everyone says that there are wronged souls buried in that piece of land, but have we seen any of those wronged souls harm anyone in all these years?

Everyone avoided the wasteland simply because they were afraid.

The Gu family has lived on the wasteland for so many years and has had no problems at all.

Let’s not talk about anything else, let’s just talk about Tong Da Jiao. She used to be a bully in the village. After her husband died, she became more and more energetic and even opened a shop in the town.

Thinking of this, an older hired worker said, "What the village chief said is right. We haven't done anything wrong, so what are we afraid of? It's a good thing to let them rest in peace. Boss Qian is not afraid and wants to build a house on the land, so it must be fine. Think about it, Boss Qian is a businessman, and business people pay the most attention to feng shui. Can he just build a house there casually? He must have calculated that the wasteland is a blessed land before building a house."

Tong Huaqiong: “…”

She hadn't thought of this angle.

The experts are among the people.

The logic of these words is extremely self-consistent. Even Tong Huaqiong couldn't think of a more perfect reason than this.

Sure enough, the hired workers were incited by these words and felt that the land was a blessed land.

He rolled up his sleeves and followed Gu Dahan to dig up the remains.

Some people even thought that this was a good thing. If the owner of the remains knew about this, he would definitely be grateful to them.

"Okay, let's go dig it up. It's a good thing to let the family rest in peace."

"If they are not afraid of the Great Cold, what should we be afraid of?"

"That's right. There have been dead people in every dynasty. There are countless dead people buried under every household."

......

Once one person takes the lead, others will follow.

Seeing everyone's relaxed expressions, Tong Huaqiong added fuel to the fire and said, "Since everyone is so kind and righteous, I will not treat you unfairly. The wages will be the same as working in my house."

"There's a large piece of wasteland behind there, so let's start digging the area around the locust tree today. To be honest, the remains of my shopkeeper's wife's parents are buried under the locust tree. There's no rush to dig up the other remains. It won't be too late to do that after you finish your work on my corn field."

When they heard that they were the remains of the owner of Taohua Dessert's parents-in-law, what else was there to say? They were not even afraid at all.

What's more, you can get paid.

Everyone picked up their tools and started digging.

Tong Huaqiong thought that Mrs. Hong must be anxious to bury her parents, so there was no time to waste. If they were to dig them out early and bury them early, Mrs. Hong would also be able to put her worries to rest. So she asked Gu Dahan to take everyone to the crooked tree.

He Chao took a hoe and took Hong with him.

Mrs. Hong wanted to see her parents' remains see the light of day again.

Tong Huaqiong did not go with them as she had to meet the second group of people at home.

After Liu Tielian went to the crooked tree and gave some work instructions, he estimated that every household in the village was preparing dinner. While there were people at home, he could just notify everyone to go to Tong Huaqiong's house to get disinfectant and insecticide.

Every year when corn is about to mature, almost every household’s corn will become sick and infested with insects, resulting in a huge reduction in yield.

Corn happens to be the main crop in Pingchuan County.

Even the county magistrate was worried about the problem of corn getting sick or infested with insects.

After becoming the village chief, Liu Tielian naturally hopes that his village will become better and better. For most families in Qinghewan who make a living by farming, a good grain harvest is more important than anything else.

Therefore, the promotion of corn sterilization and insecticide is the most important thing for the village chief at this stage.

Now that Tong Huaqiong has solved this problem, Liu Tielian is so happy that he wants to worship Tong Huaqiong.

Like Liu Tielian, which family in the village doesn't hope to have a good harvest of corn?

I didn't believe it when I heard that Tong Huaqiong had developed a fungicide and insecticide.

But when I saw that the corn ears were free of bacteria and the ground was covered with black bugs after the Gu family sprayed the field with pesticides, I began to believe it.

In addition, the Liu and Qin families have begun to learn from Gu Dahan to spray pesticides on the fields. The villagers are eager to get the pesticides and spray them on their own fields as soon as possible, for fear that it will be too late and the effect will not be great, affecting the harvest.

Soon, a lot of people gathered in front of Tong Huaqiong's house.

Ever since Tong Huaqiong went to the town to open a shop, she seldom interacted with the villagers. In addition, the villagers were busy working in the fields these days and rarely came to visit the Gu family.

Therefore, when Tong Huaqiong appeared, many people in the village felt both familiar and unfamiliar with her.

What was familiar was that the person in front of him was obviously Tong Da Jiao, but what was unfamiliar was that the temperament brought by Tong Huaqiong made Tong Da Jiao completely reborn. In everyone's eyes, she was no longer the sarcastic and mean image before, but an image of elegance and imposingness.

The crowd, which was originally noisy, fell silent for a moment when they saw Tong Huaqiong walking out of the yard.

Everyone was just looking Tong Huaqiong up and down.

Some people sighed in their hearts, is this still the shrew Tong Dajiao?

If Tong Da Jiao had said in the past that she had concocted an antibacterial and anti-insect drug, the villagers would definitely not have believed it. But now Tong Da Jiao is a powerful person in the village. She can open a shop and make money. She is also the unofficial godmother of the county magistrate. So everyone thinks highly of Tong Huaqiong.

Once you think highly of someone, you believe everything she says and does.

"Aunt Bigfoot."

"Aunt Tong."

"Great Summer Mother."

Everyone greeted Tong Huaqiong, and their enthusiasm turned the front door of the Gu family into a vegetable market.
