Several people arrived home safely.

Yi Mingxue slept soundly and got up early in the morning to pick watermelons.

She took out two eggs from the jar and went to Li Cong's house first.

Li Cong also got up.

But there was no smoke coming out of the chimney, and the family was sitting on the threshold eating multigrain cakes.

Seeing her, Li Cong stood up quickly: "Why are you so early? But you have something to do with me?"

Yi Mingxue handed him the eggs and said straight to the point: "Liu from the town has ordered five hundred kilograms of watermelons for my house. You can help me find some helpers in the village to pick the melons. I'll pay twenty wages for each person."

As soon as he heard that he was getting paid, Li Cong immediately became energetic.

"Who can't be hired with a salary of twenty cents? Just wait for me for a while, and I'll go see if Ge Da and Ge Er are here."

With that said, he picked up the basket and hurriedly called for people.

After a while, several people were called over.

With help, Yi Mingxue immediately felt much more relaxed.

She is only responsible for selecting, and then there will be someone else responsible for picking, framing, and even transporting.

In this way, the villagers saw a group of people early in the morning.

Picking the watermelons one by one, they transported them to the yard of the second room of the Yi family.

I ran back and forth dozens of times without stopping.

Such a big move naturally attracted the attention of the villagers.

Someone grabbed Li Cong and couldn't help asking.

"Li Cong, this is Yi Daya's melon? Why did it ripen so quickly?"

"What's the point of picking so many? Is it possible to find a buyer now?"

This news excited many villagers.

"The harvest in Yi Daya's melon field is really good, weighing several thousand kilograms at least."

"Her melons are easy to sell, and ours will be just as good. Are we going to give them away too?"

Everyone unconsciously began to think about the future.

The village chief hunched over and hid behind the crowd.

Hearing this, his eyes flashed and his beard raised proudly.

Fortunately, ginger is still spicy.

If he hadn't been planting crops in Yi Daya's melon fields, he might have missed this great opportunity to make money.

Seeing that Li Cong and others were busy, the village chief slowly came over.

He pretended to stop him casually: "Li Cong, Yi Daya asked you to pick so many watermelons. Where are you going to sell them and what's the price?"

Looking at the village chief's sinister eyes, Li Cong knew that he had evil intentions.

There was heat in his chest, and he said angrily: "Village Chief, you have already fallen out with Daya, and you still come to me to inquire about melon sales. Are you trying to steal Daya's business?"

When his words hit home, the village chief's face instantly sank.

He became a little angry and said: "What are you talking about? I'm chatting with you because I want to steal Yi Daya's business? She is just a girl, so she can't find any good buyers. I'm afraid she will be sold at a low price so I don't dare to say anything!"

He stroked his beard and never missed any opportunity to belittle Yi Mingxue.

Suddenly, a cold scoff came from behind.

"Village chief, if you want to know the price of melons, why don't you come and ask me directly? What's the use of making trouble here?"

Yi Mingxue walked over leisurely with a big round watermelon in her hand.

She put the big melon in her hand into the nearest basket.

A total of twenty loads and forty baskets.

Five hundred pounds is just a little more.

She did not shy away from her selling price and said straightforwardly: "Today, the five hundred kilograms of watermelon I had was purchased by Liu Yuanwai, the richest man in Fengyun Town. He gave me eighty cents per kilogram."

"Eighty, eighty cents?!"

The few losers who followed the village chief were stunned when they heard this.

Even the village chief himself was stunned by this shocking news.

It took him a while to come to his senses, and he scolded angrily with a sullen face: "Do you think I'm an old man who's easy to cheat? Your watermelon is rimmed with gold, and one pound costs eighty cents. You're bragging without making a draft."

"Besides, what kind of stomach does Mr. Liu have? Can he eat 500 kilograms of watermelon? I think you are seriously ill and you are talking in your sleep. Don't let the watermelon end up rotting in your hands!"

Hearing this, the people who had stood with him all year round also agreed.

Even the few people who helped Yi Mingxue harvest the melons shook their heads in disbelief.

For a moment, jeers and jeers arose.

They all say that Yi Mingxue is crazy about wanting to get rich.

Originally, Li Cong and the Ge brothers were firmly on Yi Mingxue's side.

Hearing this, he was a little shaken.

Eighty cents per catty? And they took away five hundred catties at a time.

This is simply a fantasy.

Yi Mingxue doesn't care whether they believe it or not.

Just counting the watermelons on one side.

At the same time, he asked Yi Changle to settle the wages of several melon pickers.

…

Within half an hour, everyone in Dahe Village knew the joke about Yi Daya's idiotic dream.

But just when everyone was gossiping.

In Dahe Village, several magnificently decorated carriages really came.

Everyone stuck their heads out to look at it curiously.

The carriage and his entourage stopped at the entrance to the courtyard of the Yi family's second room.

A chubby figure came out and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Miss Yi, are you at home? I'm here to get the watermelon. Are you ready for the five hundred pounds?"

Hearing the roar outside, Yi Mingxue quickly walked out of the house.

She didn't expect that Yuan Wai Liu would come in person.

When a big customer came to the door, Yi Mingxue quickly opened the door and welcomed Mr. Liu into the courtyard.

She uncovered the straw from the basket.

Five hundred kilograms of melons were piled neatly against the wall.

There is also an extra layer of soft straw underneath to prevent the watermelon from being bumped.

Yi Mingxue smiled and said: "The ones picked this morning are still fresh. Knowing that your family is busy, the Yi family has packed them in baskets and can just put them in the car and take them away."

I was very satisfied with her considerate work, and Mr. Liu was very happy to pay for it.

"You're a very reliable girl, eighty cents per catty, five hundred catties, a total of four..."

At this moment, Li Chunlan dragged her husband over and hurried over.

When he saw Yuan Liu, he licked his face and started to make friends: "Brother-in-law, why didn't you tell us that you were coming? It's better to ask the family to prepare to avoid a poor reception."

Her man, Hu Zhouquan, was also extremely bad-tempered, and he grinned widely.

"That's right! It's troublesome for you, brother-in-law, to make a special trip at this hour. As long as someone delivers a letter here, we can help you finish it beautifully."

The elder brother-in-law of the two men and the younger brother-in-law made Liu Yuanwai very confused.

He didn't show it on his face, but there was a layer of anger in his eyes.

"Wait a minute, who are you two? Who is your brother-in-law? I don't know you at all. Someone come and take these two liars away."

Immediately, two guards in rough clothes came forward and dragged Li Chunlan and his wife out.

Li Chunlan was so frightened that she quickly changed her words: "Executive member Liu, we are not liars. I am Li Chunlan, Li Chunxiang's sister."

At this time, Li Xianglan, who insisted on following, hurriedly raised the curtains and said, "Master, these are my sister and brother-in-law."

Only then did Liu Yuanwai remember that there seemed to be such a person.

His face became a little brighter, and he waved his hand to let the servants let them go.

But the perfunctory look in his eyes was clear at a glance.

Just as confused as Li Chunlan and his wife, was the village chief.
