Mind reading, taking the rental house through the whole village crying

Chapter 324 Harvesting Potatoes

"Thank you for your kindness. Do you have any money left after buying such an expensive gift? If you don't have enough money in the future, just ask grandma for it, okay?"

Zhang Jinlan took the wooden box and did not refuse. Instead, she happily put the gold-plated bracelet on her wrist.

She understood her granddaughter-in-law's temperament.

Frank and unpretentious.

So, no need to pretend to be polite.

This morning was the second happiest day of her life.

As for the first one, it was the day my granddaughter woke up.

Time flies.

mid-October.

The case of Zhou Yuanyuan was finally solved. Deng Jinian ordered his servants to beat others, causing the premature death of the child. He was sentenced to fifty lashes of the cane and exiled a thousand miles away. He was ordered to compensate the Zhou family with five taels of silver and the rest of his property was handed over. Chang Ying was hanged, and Deng Wangshu was acquitted because she was pregnant.

Deng Siyuan was released without knowing the situation.

As for Ma Wuxing being beaten with twenty boards, the incident caused a big uproar and soon reached Ruling Prefecture. The prefect, who had always been honest and loved his wife, publicly denounced him as a shame to all scholars in the world.

I'm afraid I'll have to remain a student for the rest of my life.

The victim Zhou Yuanyuan also suffered a bad fate.

Everyone said that she was a shameless vixen who had an affair without a matchmaker.

The Zhou family casually married her off to a place in the mountains, took the betrothal money and compensation, and prepared to move to the neighboring Fenyu County.

After all, they are already famous in Qixi County.

No matter how thick-skinned you are, you would be embarrassed to stay here any longer.

Unfortunately, they encountered robbers on the way, who stole all their silver and beat several men half to death with wounds all over their bodies.

The future is uncertain.

It was three days later when Jiang Fubao learned about this.

She was a little confused.

The magistrate's sentence was a bit too heavy.

But on second thought, the county magistrate above did not seem to be a good official, and Deng Jinian had committed many evil deeds but had a lot of wealth. I'm afraid the county magistrate had already set his eyes on him.

pretty good.

It is a disguised way of getting rid of harm to the people.

Winter has come.

The potato harvest is beginning.

Jiangjia Village fell into a busy state.

In the fields, everyone who had planted potatoes was wielding hoes and rakes.

Due to lack of experience, some people used too much force and smashed the potatoes into pieces.

Or go through the middle.

But they were heartbroken.

After working for a long time, we finally gained the strength. The adults dug the soil and the children picked potatoes. Everyone was working.

Small potatoes are not as easy to harvest as brown rice.

So it took some time.

It took the whole village seven days to finish the harvest.

When Jiang Fubao arrived home, he happened to see them bringing baskets of potatoes to exchange for money.

"Don't push, line up, line up one by one. Whoever cuts in line will be the last one to be picked up."

As soon as Jiang Shoujia finished speaking, those who cut in line lined up one after another, fearing that the Jiang family would not accept them.

The first one is Ma Chunxia’s home.

In order to make bamboo tubes and bamboo sticks, her family only planted two acres of land, and each acre produced 1,500 kilograms.

As agreed at the beginning, one cent per pound.

Jiang Shoujia is responsible for keeping accounts.

Zhang Jinlan was responsible for distributing the money. She took out three taels of silver and handed it to Ma Chunxia.

The villagers standing in line at the back were drooling at the sight.

"Oh, it's really one penny per pound. They didn't cheat us. So, my family can earn three taels of silver today? I planted three acres of land at the beginning."

"More than that, your family's per-acre yield seems pretty good, maybe you can get four taels of silver. Fortunately, my family has a lot of land, and I planted four acres at the beginning. This year, I can finally have a good time. When I get the money, I will go to the town to buy more meat and dry it in the sun. On New Year's Eve, I will steam a bowl of bacon, which is so delicious."

"You guys planted a lot, but my family only planted one acre of land. I regret it so much. I really want to slap myself in the face. Why did I only plant one acre of land?"

"Hahaha, I have planted five acres. I told you, if you listen to our clan leader, you will reap the rewards. Look, my family can earn five taels of silver today, no matter how little it earns. My son will finally have enough money to marry a wife—"

"San Tuzi, please don't make me angry. My family only planted two acres of land, and the yield per acre is not high. If you make me angry again, I will hang myself on a rope and go to your house."

"Hahahaha, I just pissed you off."

"..."

Some are happy and some are sad.

The Jiang family was very lively in the evening.

Zhu Yingqiu has finished cooking.

Jiang Tongjin served a bowl of rice to each of his grandparents.

Let them eat while they work.

Jiang Fubao was sitting on a small chair.

Holding a bowl and a spoon, I watched them busy themselves.

Some families took good care of the potatoes and planted them in first-class fields, and the yield per mu reached 1,600 kilograms.

Because they planted six acres of land and finally earned nearly ten taels of silver, they were very happy.

There are also some that were planted in small quantities and not taken good care of.

The yield per mu is only 1,000 kilograms, plus one mu of land is planted.

He only took one or two ounces of silver.

There was so much regret on these people's faces.

There are only two families in the village who do not grow potatoes, namely Jiang Guangyi's family and Jiang Zhuzi's family.

Ever since Liu Xianger got married.

The couple's life is getting worse day by day.

From time to time there was noise coming out.

Jiang Zhuzi thinks Sun Xiaotao is lazy and does nothing but eat and sleep.

Sun Xiaotao disliked Jiang Zhuzi for being poor, unable to help her family, and unable to make money.

After selling the potatoes, the villagers left Jiang’s house and walked towards their own homes.

The voices of a large number of people mixed together.

It attracted both Jiang Guangyi and Jiang Zhuzi's families.

"What's going on? Did you exchange it for silver?" Chen Qiuju asked curiously to the woman she was playing well with.

"Yes, my family's potatoes sold for a full four taels of silver. This year I can finally have a good year, haha."

Hearing this, Chen Qiuju felt so bitter that her teeth almost fell out.

She didn't want to say another word and turned back to the house.

Jiang Guangyi had a cold face and closed the door.

Jiang Zhuzi and Sun Xiaotao both had regretful expressions on their faces.

"It's all your fault. Why didn't you grow potatoes in the first place? Now everyone else is making money, but we are so poor that we can't even afford brown rice porridge. Are you being worthy of me? If I had known this would happen, I would have rather not have had this child. We wouldn't be able to raise him even if we gave birth to him."

Sun Xiaotao was so angry that she sat on the doorstep and wiped her tears.

She had no money, so naturally she couldn't bring anything back to her parents' home.

Therefore, her family members no longer treated her well.

"Cry, cry, cry, you just know how to cry. You've cried our good family apart. I go to town to do odd jobs every day and I'm exhausted. I still have to serve you when I come back. Do you think I don't regret it? If I had listened to my mother and married a capable woman, would I be so poor now?

You only know how to go back to your shabby mother's home. Others get money from their mother's home to support their husband's home, but you are so ungrateful. You have nothing but a face, and you have spent so much money on me. If you return the five taels of silver to me, I am willing to divorce you, just give it back to me."

Oh my god, they started arguing again.

People passing by looked at them as if they were laughing at a joke.
