Who cursed you

"That's right!" Liu Dalin straightened his back, supporting his daughter at any time. "Your grandma's sauced pork leg is a must in the whole village! Young Boss, eat more later, and I guarantee you won't be able to stop eating!"
"Heh-heh-heh… I must, I must, must…" Lifting the corners of his mouth, Qian Wanjin gritted his teeth and swallowed his anger.
What could he say? That he was bullied by a little girl? Did that make any sense?
He couldn't afford to lose to this girl!
On the Village Chief's side, hearing Grandpa Liu explain the situation, that a wealthy nobleman wanted to build a winery in their village, and that once it was completed would directly hire Xinghua villagers to do the work; the village chief, Liu Jinfu, put on his shoes with Grandpa Liu and headed back to the Liu's.
Along the way, his mouth never closed.
"Brother Liu, is this true? Are you sure? The nobleman really wants to build a winery in our Xinghua Village?"
"And this is something that Nannan negotiated?Whoa, you've got an amazing granddaughter there! I know that baby is blessed!"
"When we turn around, would we not hear from them? This matter must be determined first. Otherwise, it would be a huge joke if things spread out and ended up being a total bust."
Grandpa Liu endured the croaking the entire journey, "Yeah, yeah, I should have informed you yesterday, but I just wasn't sure. That's why I came over to invite you today when he came back, so rest assured."
The luxurious carriage parked in front of Liu's house enriched the Village Chief's knowledge, and the small Maitreya sitting in the house made his head swell.
The rising generation is to be reckoned with!
The future of the village is in the hands of a child
After a round of pleasantries, a group of people went out, looking for a suitable location.
At this time, people were heading to their work in the morning and when they saw the party composed of the village chief, Grandpa Liu, Liu Dalin, Liu Erling and Nannan, and a fat little boy dressed in magnificent golden finery, looking like the moon surrounded by a myriad of stars, they all came to exchanged words, asking for information.
The village chief always waved his hand and chuckled with a face full of wrinkles, "Nothing, nothing, the Young Boss of Wanjin restaurant wants to take a stroll in our village, to see if we can find a suitable place to build a winery. Go get busy first. I'll tell you everything later. Go, do your work. Get busy, all of you!"
Build a winery in Xinghua Village?!
How can they work with such explosive news? Nothing is more important than this!
Many villagers didn't immediately go to their fields and followed behind directly, carrying hoes and pickaxes. The team grew, and in the end almost half of the villagers trailed behind – even the children joined, running around and making a cacophony of noise.
Xinghua Village wasn't large, with a hundred or so families and a population of over a thousand. The location of the village was situated surrounded by mountains and near the river with an excellent scenery. There was countless vacant land around the village, which could be used to build a workshop.
In the end, Qian Wanjin finalized the site near the Qinghe River, which was about 10 acres or so in size – enough for a small workshop.
Even if they wanted to expand, the area could still be extended out, plus it was close to the Qinghe River, so it was convenient to use water.
The liveliness of nearly half of the village has attracted the attention of the villagers on the opposite bank of the river.
One after the other, they approached the river and looked in the distance to see what Xinghua Village was up to.
At this hour, they didn't go to work. What had them bustling with noise and excitement in one place?
There were sharp-eyed people who immediately saw the little fatty in golden brocades surrounded in the crowd. His figure plus his dress couldn't be ignored. Of course, the little child beside him that an old man was carrying in his arms arrested their attention.
Liu Yusheng! The Blessed Baby of Xinghua Village!
"Have you seen her, the Blessed Baby? Xinghua Village must be up to something again!"
"What's going on? It can't really be that mysterious, can it?"
"Mysterious? What was Xinghua Village like two years ago? What's it been like for the last two years? Especially the Liu's! I heard they made a fortune on the fruit wine they sold the other day. They kept their mouths shut, but they amassed wealth while keeping a low profile!"
The Xiapo villagers tried to perk their ears up as they watched, trying to hear something from the commotion on the other side of the river. There were also others who gave their full attention to the Blessed Baby, who really gave some indication of what was going on.
"Hey, look, look! That rich kid in the brocade is very familiar with the Blessed Baby! He's talking to her! See, I'll bet! He definitely must have been recruited by her. Even Liu Jinfu accompanying them has the look of someone looking at the Bodhisattva. They're definitely up to something big!"
"Quickly, find someone to go back and tell the village chief, so he can ask around to find out what Xinghua Village is doing. Our two villages are just across the river. We can't let Xinghua Village take everything good. In the future, will we still be able to raise our heads in front of the Xinghua villagers?"
"To put it mildly, can luck be robbed? If you really have the ability, just get that Blessed Baby to our village first and let's get a taste of that luck!"
Across the river, Xinghua villagers couldn't hear their talk, but they could read their envy, jealousy and hatred. They simply raised their eyebrows!
How many years did the two villages fight over river irrigation? Just because the Xiapo Villagers were all upstream the Qinghe River, how many stumbling blocks have they put in their way? How many disgraceful tricks have they used?
Now that a nobleman has chosen them to build a winery in Xinghua Village, the Xiapo villagers could only look on with jealousy!
So the saying was true: Reap what you sow. Wickedness wouldn't go altogether unpunished!
"Blessed Baby, what do you say? How about here? If it's okay with you, we'll really finalize this site." Qian Wanjin walked out of the enclosure in sweat, especially that he was surrounded by the crowd. He couldn't even breathe smoothly. Two sweat towels alone were already soaked.
Seeing that he was about to lose his cool, Liu Yusheng nodded, "Young Boss must be hungry. Let's go back and eat, shall we?"
At the same time, she secretly signaled Grandpa Liu, who immediately caught on. He faced the villagers, who were blocking them tightly, "It's been a long morning, and it's delayed everyone from getting to work. Let's all go home and have lunch. As for the matter of the winery, Young Boss's words definitely count, so everyone waits patiently. After everything is settled, the village head will find an opportunity to explain it to everyone. Okay, okay, let's all disperse."
Liu Dalin and Liu Erlin also helped in persuading them to scatter.
Only then did the crowd gradually disperse, making way and watching Grandpa Liu carry the Blessed Baby and lead the nobleman back.
A long way later, Qian Wanjin heavily gasped, "Blessed Baby, the people of your village are too enthusiastic. I almost couldn't breathe with them following you from beginning to end. I can't do this kind of thing myself anymore. I'm dead tired that my young life is half gone."
"Young Boss, let me tell you something very serious." Liu Yusheng pursed her small lips. "If you keep on getting fat like this, even if you don't have to do anything, your little life hangs in the balance."
"…" Qian Wanjin dragged his heavy steps and grinned, "Little imp, I'm at least a nobility in Xinghua Village, right? Why are you still cursing me?"
She rolled her eyes, "Who's cursing you? I'm telling the truth. I've been studying medical science with Aunt Wanrong. She's very good at it. If you don't believe what I say, you'll know if it's true or not when you go back and see a doctor."
