If you keep making noise, I won’t stand it anymore!

That afternoon, Village Chief Liu was invited by Mei Ying into the Liu Mansion and sat in the main hall in the north courtyard.

"Uncle Village Chief, please sit down and have some tea." Meixiang greeted him hurriedly when she saw Village Chief Liu enter the house. Village Chief Liu clasped his fists and bowed to the beautiful woman sitting at the upper seat and Meixiang before sitting down on the chair at the lower left and thanking Nanny Chen for the tea bowl she brought him.

Village Chief Liu picked up the tea bowl in front of him and took a sip of tea. He glanced at the beautiful woman and Meixiang at the top and asked, "Miss, did you call me here today because of the issue of who to plant the trees?"

"Did Brother Dazhuang tell you about this? Does he have any good suggestions?" Meixiang asked with a smile. She guessed that Liu Dazhuang and the others would definitely tell their families about what happened this morning after they returned, but this was also the effect she wanted.

Village Chief Liu had a slightly ugly expression on his face. He looked at Meixiang embarrassedly and said, "I am ashamed that there is not even one person like you in Liujia Village."

Meixiang touched her nose and looked a little embarrassed. If the trees could not be cultivated, many things would be difficult to carry out in the future. After thinking for a while, she asked the village chief Liu: "Uncle, if, I mean, if I invite people from other villages to come to Liujia Village to plant trees, will you be embarrassed?"

"Miss, don't worry, as long as they are willing to come, there will be no problem. Our villages only have an unwritten agreement regarding the back mountains. Individuals cannot go to the back mountains of other villages to dig herbs or pick fruits without permission. Other things are not so particular. Most of the villagers have good relationships with each other." Village chief Liu explained quickly after hearing Meixiang's words. Now he wished Meixiang could invite more capable people back to teach the men in the village and help them improve their skills.

"That's good. I'll trouble you to ask around and if there are any talented people in this field, I'll invite them back. The potatoes outside the yard will be ripe soon, and Brother Dazhuang will have a lot of work to do. By the way, there's also Liu Yuan. If you have nothing to do, please go and help Brother Dazhuang and the others." Meixiang thought for a while and said.

Village Chief Liu nodded his head. The changes brought about by the Liu Mansion over the past month or so were huge. The villagers were making money in the dyeing workshops and in the back hills, and their families were busy with logistics. Their lives immediately became better. The village chiefs and elders from nearby villages were always poking their heads around the village and passing on information through various connections. For this reason, he was much more confident than usual.

After Village Chief Liu left, Meixiang took Meiying and Xiaosan to Liu Daniu's home in the next village while it was still early.

Hearing the knock on the door, Old Man Liu walked out of the house and looked at the three people outside the yard with a questioning look on his face: "Who are you looking for?"

"Uncle, we are from the next village. Last time we asked Brother Danniu to help us dig potatoes. Is he at home now?" Meixiang asked with a smile.

"Ah, it's Miss Liu, please come in. Go to the back hill to look for your father, he said Miss Liu from the next village is here! Go quickly." When Old Man Liu heard that the lady from the next village had dug potatoes, he immediately remembered what his son had repeatedly asked him to do. While inviting Meixiang and the others in, he shouted to the little boy who was hiding in the house and peeking out.

After hearing his grandfather's instructions, the little boy secretly glanced at Meixiang and the other two, then ran towards the back mountain.

After Meixiang and the others sat down on the benches next to the table outside the yard, Old Man Liu knelt down in front of Meixiang and was about to kowtow. Meixiang was startled by his action. Her consciousness had been in the modern world for so many years, and influenced by the thoughts of the 21st century, she was not used to Haoyue's habit of kneeling at every turn.

"Uncle, what are you doing? Get up, get up quickly." Meixiang quickly asked Meiying to help him up.

Old man Liu insisted on kowtowed to Meixiang three times before he stood up and said, "Thank you very much, young lady, for saving my life. I would feel uneasy if I didn't kowtow to you a few times in person."

Meixiang looked at the simple but clean courtyard in front of her, and the old man Liu who had a weather-beaten face but a simple and calm heart. Her heart was filled with a faint sense of happiness, and she chatted with the old man Wang about family matters.

Soon, Liu Daniu and Liu Erniu, the two couples, and their five children hurried back home. Seeing Meixiang and others sitting in the yard, Liu Daniu was extremely happy. He put down the basket in his hand, took his brothers' wives and began to introduce them: "Old Er, Zhi'er, and sister-in-law, this is the Miss Liu who saved Dad that I mentioned to you. Old Er, you still remember her, right?"

"Remember, remember, Miss Liu, we haven't thanked you yet. If you hadn't helped us that day, my father would probably be dead. Come, let's kowtow to you, Miss," he said, and called his wife and children to kneel down. Meixiang quickly asked Meiying and Xiaosan to stop them.

"Brother Erniu and sisters-in-law, please don't be polite. I'm still young. If I keep kneeling like this, I'm afraid I'll shorten my life. Besides, uncle and brother Daniu have already thanked me." Meixiang said as she asked Xiaosan to hand the backpack to Daniu's wife. "This is food for the children. Share it with the children quickly."

"Oh, Miss Liu is too polite. What should I do?"

"Thank you very much, Miss Liu!"

At the same time as the two female voices sounded, Liu Ersao stretched out her right hand towards the backpack, "Second son's wife." Seeing the petty behavior of the second son's wife, Old Man Liu yelled at her with a little anger.

"Oh, Miss Liu said it was for the children, so Daddy, you shouldn't be polite anymore, right, Miss Liu?" Erniu's wife turned around and asked Xiang Meixiang indifferently.

Meixiang looked at the angry old man Liu, the blushing Liu Daniu and his wife, the bewildered Liu Erniu, and the fearless Liu Erniu's wife. She sighed inwardly and changed her original intention when she spoke: "Yes, this was originally meant for the children. Let's share it with them."

The five children looked at the food in their hands happily. Although it was not something expensive, ordinary families would only give it to their children as a treat during the New Year and other festivals.

Led by their eldest brother, three of the children came forward to thank Meixiang and the other two: "Thank you, Miss. Thank you, little brother and little sister." The youngest girl, who was about the same age as Xiao Shiqi at home, also echoed incoherently.

Meixiang looked at Liu Daniu who was standing next to her, "Miss, these are my three useless children. The oldest is eight years old, the second brother is four years old, and the youngest sister just turned two this year."

Meixiang smiled and waved to the little girl, pulling her into her arms and hugging her gently, watching her eat happily. Then she looked at the two children in Liu Erniu's family who were fighting over the food, shook her head secretly, and became more determined in her thoughts.
