Liudou and Goudan have been busy with two things these days.

Aoli has successively established lime factories and brick factories, and now it has started to run cement factories, and the scales are one after another. Repairing factories, building yards, digging soil to make bricks, and digging mountains and chiseling stones all occupy the villagers' places. Moreover, all the funds in the early stage of the village factory were also jointly raised by the whole village. For these, Aoli's unified regulations are as follows: the entire land to be occupied is evenly distributed to each household, which is considered a part of the shareholding, and the factory takes out a certain proportion of profits every year as dividends for these shares. Aoli people can go to the factory to work or not, but if they don't go to the factory, they will not enjoy the various benefits of the village factory, and can only be divided into the equally distributed part of the surplus.

The whole Qianjiaao does this from house to house. No one can say that it is difficult. Except for Xiaobao's mother, this famous witch, according to the rules agreed by the village collective, Xiaobao's family should also divide two acres of paddy fields, three acres of dry land and six acres of stone forest for the village collective use. However, Xiaobao's mother doesn't care about these things, does not sign an agreement, does not enter the factory stocks, and does not divide the factory reds, and does not say that she is jealous of everyone's interests.

Previously, Xiaobao's mother was unwilling to cut the land, and Liudou tolerated it. But this time, Xiaobao's family had a piece of land just on the construction site of the cement factory. Xiaobao's mother did not give in any way, and she refused to cut the land. Liudou said that it would be fine if she didn't cut the land, and agreed to transfer the land. Liudou agreed to coordinate a piece of land with Xiaobao's family from the village collective, and then the price difference of 400 yuan per mu was added every year. No one was farming the land, and her mother was away all year round, and the land was deserted for two seasons a year. This method of adjusting the land can be said to have changed tiles to porcelain. But Xiaobao's mother just refused and cursed Liudou, saying that his destruction of the Feng Shui in the valley would definitely harm his descendants, and he would be the only one who had lost his descendants.

"Liudou, Xiaobao's mother is just for face. Can you just apologize to him?" Mr. Qian saw Xiaobao growing up since childhood, and couldn't bear to see her and her mother, so she always wanted to help them reconcile.

"Uncle Fifth, how could I apologize to her? I've been so angry with her for so many years, so I'm pretending to be a fool!" The veins on Liudou's neck bulged out one by one.

"Isn't it that I remember the incident when you arrested her in the township government that year? There must be some time to resolve this conclusion." Mr. Qian advised Liudou.

Liudou was speechless. He sat obliquely on the chair, lit a cigarette, stretched his legs and feet, and stretched his arms.

"Actually, it's no big deal for me and my mother. The villagers in the country have been around for decades. If she is willing to follow the village collectively, I have nothing to do with it. Uncle Wu, you would advise her."

"Oh, it's Xiaobao who suffered." said Mr. Qian, "Look at that room, it will fall down next time the wind blows."

"Yes, this child has suffered."

"She is my sister-in-law. For the sake of the old man's arrival, you promised Uncle Wu that he would never lose his temper next time. He beg her in a humble manner and let her take this into consideration. Just think of Xiaobao's future life." Mr. Qian asked Liudou.

"Uncle Wu, you are really like a Bodhisattva. Why don't Shu Jiazi have a promising future? Don't worry, my nephew listens to you, I beg her next time."

Liudou agreed for the sake of Mr. Qian's face. But Xiaobao's mother usually rarely shows up after returning to the awning. She stayed alone in the house and no one knew how she could pass the life. Liudou wanted to talk to her well, so she had to go to her house. Liudou specially scooped out two kilograms from her own brewed medicinal wine and carried it to Xiaobao's house.

Seeing Xiaobao sitting outside in the sun, Liudou guessed that Xiaobao's mother was not at home.

When Xiaobao saw Liudou calling "Uncle" affectionately, Liudou asked with a smile, "Is your mother out?"

"My mother, she took a compass out early in the morning and went to the reservoir. Uncle, please sit down, I'll go find my mother to come back."

Xiaobao got up and gave it to Liudou's chair, "No need, I'll go find it myself, and discuss something with her by the way." Liudou asked Xiaobao to sit down, "It's okay, you sit down, uncle just go by yourself."

Liudou went to the reservoir and looked at the blue water surface under his feet. Thinking about the changes that Qianjiaao had taken over the years, he couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion and pride in his heart. Qianjiaao poured Liudou's sweat, hard work, all his experience and wisdom.

Liudou didn't see Xiaobao's mother on the dam, so he came down from the dam and found Xiaobao's mother by the canal. She was holding a compass with both hands and looking very seriously. When she saw Xiaobao's mother's appearance, Liudou was angry without any trouble.

"Sister-in-law." Liudou shouted.

The little mother didn't say anything and left Liudou there. Liudou had long guessed that there would be such an embarrassing scene, but she didn't care much. She thought that as long as she could convince the little mother today, it would be worth it to be angry with her.

"Sister-in-law." Liudou called out again. The little mother couldn't pretend to be deaf and dumb again, so she had to respond reluctantly.

"Discuss something with you?"

"Tell me quickly if you have something to do, I have something to do." The little mother seemed very impatient.

"It's no big deal." Liudou realized that today's things were not easy to deal with, "I brought you some rice wine." Liudou lifted the wine in his hand up so that the little mother could see it.

"What is my identity? I can't afford it." The little mother didn't care where Liudou's face should be put.

"Why do you say that?" Liudou was a little angry again, "What was there before? Today I came with wine..."

"Okay, if you have anything to do, I was in a good mood today. Don't let me down." The little mother waved her hand impatiently and interrupted Liudou's words.

Liudou held back the anger that was about to rise, "Okay, then I'll tell you directly. The cement factory run by the village collective, because of land use, wants to use the dry land in your home, and they will do things according to the rules agreed upon by everyone."

"That's the rule you set, it has nothing to do with me. If you want to make a decision, don't think about it." The little mother's tone had no room for negotiation. She threw the compass into her backpack, "Even if I starve to death, you won't get that piece of land. I'd rather throw it in there."

"You!" Liudou was so angry that his beard was shaking, "Why are you fighting with me?" He threw the wine pot in his hand to the ground. The wine pot was broken and the rice wine splashed the back of his shoes.

When the little mother saw Liudou's angry look, she felt very happy and snorted Liudou and threw it away.

Liudou's negotiation ended in failure. Not only did he feel embarrassed in front of his old enemies, but he also wasted two kilograms of high-quality medicinal wine in vain.

According to the rules, if the invitation and land transfer are not successful, for collective interests, a village meeting must be held to discuss whether the land transfer should be forced. As soon as Liudou returned to the village headquarters, he asked Goudan to call other village cadres in the lou area, and everyone discussed how to deal with this tricky "witch". After everyone discussed for a long time, they finally decided to draw up an agreement in the name of the village committee. After all the village cadres signed, regardless of whether Xiao Bao's mother was willing to sign the agreement, the land would be used by the public after giving the agreement. Whether Xiao Bao's mother was relocating the land or investing the shares, it was up to her to decide. If she didn't want to, the village would supply her according to the market grain price.

Liudou decided to talk to Xiaobao's mother before showing this agreement to her. If the decision of the village was affected by the personal grudge between the two, he would feel uneasy. Before going to talk to Xiaobao's mother, Liudou did one thing first - to recruit Xiaobao into the factory to do things, and it was a very relaxing job. Xiaobao was very happy, and she also hoped that her mother could calm down and stay in the valley to do something, and no longer do rituals outside every day.

Xiao Bao's mother is a nail in the eyes of Qianjiaao village cadres. All the village cadres want to pull this nail, but everyone knows that this nail is not a fuel-efficient lamp. Although no one has seen a ghost with his own eyes, he still has some concerns about the masters and witches who are said to be able to catch ghosts. As long as they don't ride on their heads, no one can make a fuss about him. Xiao Bao's mother is a famous witch, and catching ghosts and exorcising evil spirits is her lifestyle. But now there are fewer and fewer people who believe in this set, and there are even fewer people willing to spend money on it. This is a very interesting thing. When people are poor, even if they are too poor to lose their money, they are never stingy in their feudal superstitions. Now they have a few money in their pockets, but they forget all that set.

When Liudou arrived at Xiaobao's house, the door was open, and Xiaobao's mother was meditating in the house. Xiaobao's mother always used to decorate the storefront. Every time she meditated, she would always place herself in the center of the main hall facing the door, fearing that others would not see it.

"Sister-in-law" Liudou called out very normally.

When the little mother heard Liudou call her, she was thinking about how to deal with him. She didn't speak, and quietly waited for what he wanted to say next.

"Sister-in-law, I know there are many conflicts between us, and it is difficult to explain who is right and who is wrong for a while." Liudou sat down with a stool and prepared to fight a protracted battle with the little mother.

The little mother was very calm and was about to spend time with Liudou first. In this way, Liudou really couldn't help but feel angry, "Sister-in-law, don't be so embarrassed with me, as this will not be good for you." Liudou said in his words, using both soft and hard.

The little mother was smiling in her heart, "Liu Dou, Liu Dou, even if you are always treacherous, see what you can do to me."

"Sister-in-law, the village has decided to study it." Liudou took out the agreement, "I advise you to think clearly, think about Xiaobao, think about your family, and think about it. It is best to discuss and solve the problem."

"There is nothing to discuss between us."

"Okay, since you said so absolutely, I can't do anything about it." Liudou put the agreement on the table where the little mother was meditating. "The village has decided that no matter whether you sign or not, the village collective will do things according to the terms of the agreement." After that, Liudou was about to leave.

The little mother didn't even look at it, and grabbed the agreement and tore it to pieces, "You bastards will get retribution sooner or later."

"Actually, I didn't need to look for you anymore. But I felt uncomfortable when I looked at Xiaobao. Have you ever thought about Xiaobao? Has she lived a good life with you, the bastard mother?" Liudou could no longer bear it when she saw Xiaobao mother tearing the agreement.

"That's my business, you don't have to worry about it. Xiaobao lives well with me, and she has never been unhappy."

"That's Xiaobao's sensible. You should cherish such a daughter."

"Xiaobao is my daughter, why do I have nothing to do with her? Get out of here!"

"Okay, I'm done. No matter what you think, for the collective benefit, the land area will be settled." Liudou knew that it would be in vain to continue talking. Before he came, he had expected such a result. This trip was just for peace of mind for himself.

"Get out!" The little mother issued the order to expel guests again.

Village chief Liudou had to leave.

Chapter completed!
