Chapter 110 The Mountain Protection Project of Dongdong Mountain
Zhao Taohua sensed the deep hostility Pan the widow harbored towards her, and she also saw a red aura of jealousy emanating from her.
Zhao Taohua didn't know what she was jealous of, but she wouldn't tolerate being insulted like that.
If landslides and mudslides were to occur in all the mountains surrounding Zhao Family Village, it would certainly not be possible to complete the construction in three months with only a hundred or so people.
Therefore, she later used her spiritual energy to perform another precise calculation to ensure that the manpower of Zhao Family Village could be used in the right places.
Finally, she used all her spiritual energy to calculate that the landslide would occur on Dongdong Mountain and Guanguan Mountain.
Before Zhao Taohua could speak, the village chief rushed to speak on her behalf:
"Peach Blossom's Taoist magic is top-notch, how could it be inaccurate?"
If it weren't allowed, you would have frozen to death long ago, and your dozen or so acres of medicinal herb fields would be ruined!
As for which specific mountains the mountain protection project will cover, Peach Blossom has already told me. The project will precisely protect Dongdong Mountain and Guanguan Mountain, ensuring the safety of our village's medicinal herb fields and houses.
When everyone heard that all that was needed was to build protective works on Dongdong Mountain and Guanguan Mountain, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
When Grandma Sun heard that Zhao Taohua had helped the whole village again, she felt incredibly proud and exclaimed:
"My Tao Hua is really amazing; she can even predict things three months from now."
Zhao Xiangping's great-grandfather nodded repeatedly: "Our village was able to survive two natural disasters without serious incident thanks to the peach blossoms."
Hopefully, this time we can get through it safely too.
Zhao Shengan looked at Zhao Taohua with eyes full of admiration and praised her:
"Peach Blossom Sister, you are so amazing!"
When Widow Pan heard everyone praising Zhao Taohua, her expression turned sour.
She never expected that Zhao Taohua would be so capable, even predicting which two mountains in the mountains would experience landslides and mudslides.
It's infuriating that Zhao Taohua has become the center of attention in front of the whole village.
The key point is that when she looked at Shen Ming, she found that his gaze was fixed on Zhao Taohua, as if he couldn't see anyone else at all.
She really couldn't understand what was so good about Zhao Taohua, a girl who hadn't even grown up yet.
Unlike her, who has a voluptuous figure with curves in all the right places!
A charming woman is more attractive.
What's so good about someone as slender and petite as Zhao Taohua?
Suddenly, she noticed that Zhao Shengan's gaze was also fixed on Zhao Taohua. As someone who had been through similar experiences, how could she not see the fervor and joy in his eyes?
A mischievous thought popped into her head, and she said:
"Sheng'an, you're sixteen this year, and you're still not married, are you?"
I think you and Peach Blossom are quite a good match. You're about the same age, your families are neighbors, and you grew up together. You're truly childhood sweethearts!
Zhao Shengan already liked Zhao Taohua, and upon hearing what Widow Pan said, he immediately blushed with embarrassment.
He then secretly glanced in Zhao Taohua's direction and whispered:
"That depends on what Peach Blossom Sister thinks. She is very outstanding, and many people like her. Her doorstep has been worn down by Matchmaker You lately."
Especially today, when Shen Ming sent Matchmaker You with sixty taels of silver to the Zhao family, he was terrified when he learned that Shen Ming wanted Matchmaker You to go directly to propose marriage. He was afraid that Peach Blossom Sister would agree to Shen Ming's proposal right away!
Fortunately, Uncle Ershu rejected Shen Ming's betrothal offer, which prevented Peach Blossom from marrying Shen Ming!
After the village chief's meeting, his mother will go to find Matchmaker You to discuss the betrothal to the Zhao family.
Shen Ming had excellent hearing, and upon hearing what Widow Pan said to Zhao Shengan, his face immediately darkened.
He needs to hurry up and win over Uncle Ershu, otherwise Zhao Shengan might really snatch Peach Blossom away.
In Shen Ming's eyes, Zhao Shengan was always a formidable rival.
She is younger than him, closer to Peach Blossom Sister than him, and has a better family background than him.
Moreover, Uncle Ershu had a very good relationship with Aunt Zheng and her husband, so Uncle Ershu probably preferred Zhao Shengan.
After the village chief finished explaining the matter, Zhao Taohua discussed with Zhao Ershu and Qian Shi that they would send their family's argumentative member to carry out the mountain protection project.
Gang is energetic and perfect for this task, saving Zhao Ershu from having to suffer on the mountain.
Zhao Ershu said, "Okay, let's go with the contrarian. I'll go register with the village chief."
After everyone registers with the village chief, they can go back.
Widow Pan saw that Zhao Guanggeng was also about to register, so she grabbed him and whispered:
"Father, everyone is busy building the protective barrier on the mountain. It's okay if you're not here; no one will notice."
Zhao Guanggeng was used to being honest and law-abiding, and he felt a little flustered when he heard what Widow Pan said.
"is this okay?"
Zhao Guanggeng felt a little guilty as he watched everyone go to the village chief to sign up.
Upon hearing this, Ge also felt guilty.
The couple had never done anything so dishonest or cunning in their entire lives.
Widow Pan glanced at the villagers standing around the village chief, then whispered to Zhao Guanggeng and his wife:
"Of course it's possible, why not? Some families with many members will sign up more than one person to take turns doing the job."
When the time comes, the village chief will be so overwhelmed by all the names on the paper that he won't even realize someone from our family is missing.
After saying that, Widow Pan didn't give Zhao Guanggeng and his wife a chance to speak again, and directly pulled them back.
Zhao Shenglin followed behind Shen Ming, and after Shen Ming gave his name to the village chief, he followed closely behind.
Just as Shen Ming was about to leave, he quickly stepped forward and called out, "Shen Ming!"
Shen Ming turned around and saw Zhao Shenglin. He asked, "Is there something you need?"
He didn't have much contact with Zhao Shenglin on weekdays. When they met on the village road, they would just nod to each other and rarely spoke.
Previously, he thought Zhao Shenglin was idle all day long, not going out to work and earn money, and just living off the meager harvest from the fields. He looked down on Zhao Shenglin.
However, ever since Zhao Shenglin's mother, Xu, was crushed to death by a roof in the heavy snow, Zhao Shenglin has become a different person.
I've become more diligent and hardworking, and I've also come to believe what Peach Blossom Sister said.
Later, Peach Blossom Sister said that there would be a big hailstorm and a sharp drop in temperature, and Zhao Shenglin obediently did as she said.
"Shen Ming, I want to ask you something. Now that you've gone to build the mountain protection project, what will happen to your five mu of medicinal herb fields? Who will harvest the herbs? Who will manage them?"
This is what I was asking.
Shen Ming replied, "I'll hire someone to help pick the herbs, and I'll ask Sister Peach Blossom to come and look after my herb garden when she has time."
Zhao Shenglin's puzzled mind suddenly cleared up.
He immediately laughed: "Thank you, Shen Ming, I know what to do now."
He could also hire someone to pick herbs for his family's medicinal herb field, and ask a fellow villager to help look after it.
Who should we choose?
The first people that came to Zhao Shenglin's mind were the village chief and Grandma Yang next door.
However, he felt he couldn't keep troubling the two of them.
Suddenly, Zhao Shenglin saw Zhao Lianhua in his line of sight, and a sense of guilt immediately arose in his heart.
Previously, if he hadn't played dirty tricks and spread rumors in and around the village that she harbored evil intentions and instructed a fool to ruin other people's reputations, she wouldn't be unable to find a husband now.
He walked towards Zhao Lianhua and asked, "Lianhua, do you want to make money?"
