Allure of a Country Maiden

Chapter 149 What to do if the seeds can’t be planted?

Things must be given, but they don’t just have to give them what they want! Help them take care of everything in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation, and give Mr. Shen and Shen Zhuang an extra ten taels of silver as pocket money. Whether it is enough or not is none of their business!

The leadership must be in their hands, and her purpose of doing this is just to bet on Youyou's public opinion!

"Master, grandma, you can rest assured to stay here. Although our families have separated, or you have broken off from us, since you are living in our house, you will be indispensable for food, clothing, housing and transportation. Not only will food and accommodation be provided, but also We will also give ten taels of silver to the three of you as pocket money. You can use this money to buy whatever dowry my sister-in-law wants. You are here as a guest, the second uncle’s family, so don’t worry, you will also be provided with food and accommodation.”

"Ten taels of silver, are you going to send the beggar away? Such a little silver is worth buying salt!" After hearing this, Mrs. Shen Zhuang jumped in anger!

"Don't we have any money? There are more people in our family! It should be more than ten taels!" Mrs. Li was dissatisfied when she heard that they only provided food and housing!

"I usually only give a penny to beggars! The salt sold in that shop is not salty for ten taels of silver? Mom, you should report him to the government!"

Mrs. Shen Zhuang said in a different way, "...Ten taels of silver can buy you nothing but a good head and face! You, a loser, have so much dowry, how can your sister-in-law have less than you?"

"My family has given me a pearl before, which is worth hundreds of taels! My family has been extremely kind to my sister-in-law's dowry! Whether the remaining dowry for my sister-in-law is more or less is up to my grandparents to worry about!"

"How can that be counted! The pearls are all gone!" Thinking of the pearl, Shen Zhuang cursed the pearl thief in her heart! Ouch, her heart, liver, spleen and lungs started to hurt again!

"That's your own business. My family doesn't have that much money to prepare!" By the way, who stole the pearl? It was really a steal! But he is tolerant enough! No one in the village has suddenly gotten better.

"I have a classmate whose family is not so kind to relatives who have been separated from each other. Not to mention providing food, accommodation and pocket money, even when we meet, they don't even say hello!" Jingrui was extremely annoyed. , the human heart is not enough and the snake swallows the elephant!

"Does it count as breaking off a kiss once? In this imperial city, if anyone has no eyesight and offends a noble person, won't this and that be affected again? Will this kiss need to be broken off multiple times?" Pun? He can also say it! Jing Hao added in his mind.

Mr. Shen turned red at the noise.

"Food and shelter are not enough to satisfy some people's appetites, and my family's money is not brought by the strong wind. Let them eat what they have! I won't wait on you anymore!" Mrs. Liu was also angry. Not enough money yet? In the village, ten taels of silver is enough for a villager to marry a wife in style!

"Stingy, if you don't give it, you won't give it. You are always digging up old bad debts!" ​​Mrs. Li muttered softly.

"I'm not as generous as my second uncle. I'm so old that I haven't even eaten a piece of pig hair from my second uncle's family, let alone pork!" Xiaoer still heard it with the tips of her ears.

“I don’t have pork at home!” Since the last illegal salt incident, my sister-in-law no longer gives her any meat to take home when she returns home! Every time I go back, I don’t look good, but I come back very angry!

"The second uncle's family sells pork, right? You used to go back to your parents' house to get the meat and cook it for yourself and your family to eat secretly. I never saw you generously eating it for the whole family!" I really don't want to discredit you. Just talkative on the side!

Li is not stupid and dare not speak out anymore. They can eat as long as they can. The food at Lao San's family is even better than what they eat during the Chinese New Year. I really wish we could still live together before we separated.

Mr. Shen coughed and changed the subject: "Did the Third Emperor say anything else when he was summoned?"

"The emperor rewarded me with thousands of hectares of fertile land."

After hearing this, Mrs. Shen Zhuang, Mr. Shen,... and Shen Chengzong's family were all stunned. Thousands of hectares of fertile land? How big is the field? Looking from a distance, can you see the edge?

"The third child..." Shen Chengzong rubbed his hands and was so excited that he didn't know how to ask for some. He wasn't greedy either. Just give him a hundred acres!

"It's not for nothing. I have to provide the imperial court with the rice seeds we need next year."

Shen Chengzong stopped talking after hearing this and provided the imperial court with the entire country's rice seeds? Isn’t that all the hard work in vain? Isn’t it just helping the emperor farm for free? The third child is too pitiful, farming couldn’t be more tiring! It’s so thankless! The food we got was not from our own family! How could this emperor take advantage of Yum!

After hearing this, the old man thought further. Farming depends on the weather. What if the crops are not planted?

"Did the Emperor tell me what to do if it's sown?"

Yes, it’s grown! Will the emperor give money to buy it? Why didn't he think of that! How could the emperor take advantage of the people! Shen Chengzong's eyes lit up after hearing this.

"The emperor said that if it is done, there will be many rewards." Shen Chengyao didn't value those rewards in his heart. He also wanted to plant them. He used to farm and knew how much farmers looked forward to a good harvest. Even if this One year's harvest is one pound more than the previous year's, and I can be happy for a long time!

He will never forget his joy on the day when his family’s rice was harvested, and he also wants to share this joy with more people.

The most beautiful smile is the smile of farmers during harvest.

"Did the emperor say what to do if this doesn't work?" Mr. Shen asked anxiously. Farming is all about good weather and the weather will tell! Don't jump into the pit, silly son!

"I didn't mention it, and I didn't think of it at the time." He felt that it would definitely work.

Mr. Shen held his forehead, and Shen Chengzong's heart skipped a beat. How could he have forgotten that crops can't be grown just by you? The third child is indeed unreliable! He was able to have such a share of the family fortune only by luck. If one day his luck passes, it will definitely be over!

"Lao San, what if there is a drought or flood, or the crops fail?"

"This is not something I can control. The emperor is a wise king. He will definitely not blame him." Just do your best and obey fate.

Mr. Shen shook his head. Who dares to vouch for it? The Sacred Heart is unpredictable! If it is planted next year, the emperor will definitely ask for it to be continued the next year. Year after year, he is putting his head on a broadsword! I can only hope that God will reward me! But life is too long, how can everything go smoothly every year? !

"You, third brother, shouldn't be responsible for such a big thing." Mr. Shen felt that his son did not consider the matter carefully.
