Mrs. Liu is much older than Ye Yuran. If you think about it, you will know that Zhu Sanzhuang is his granddaughter. Calculating, she should be of the same generation as Mr. Zhu and Mrs. Zhu.

However, Zhu Sanzhuang's ranking among the Zhu family is relatively low; Liu Yan's ranking among the Liu family is relatively high.

In other words, one side is "small" and the other side is "big", so Mrs. Liu is several years younger than Mrs. Zhu.

Older people have more experience.

Mrs. Liu spoke with emotion about the famine she experienced as a child. She was so hungry at that time that she didn't even have the bark to chew, and she didn't know how many people died of starvation.

"It was really miserable at that time. My parents were so hungry that they were reduced to human form. My brother and I were so hungry that we couldn't even walk. We leaned against the wall every day, not even daring to move."

"Because if you move, you have to consume the contents of your stomach."

"Things like eating Guanyin soil and eating children have come up. If my parents hadn't been so cruel, I would have been replaced."

…

After talking about some sad things, Mrs. Liu turned around and praised Ye Yuran for his ability. I heard that their family had built a paddy field that could grow millet, and they also worked hard to grow sweet potatoes twice a year. If there had been such a thing back then.

With these things, I'm afraid not so many people will starve to death.

I also heard that the Zhu family is planning to bring fellow villagers to plant winter sweet potatoes together. This is something that ordinary people cannot do.

She must be the reincarnation of a Bodhisattva, a very kind and compassionate person, and a good person.

Speaking of the latter, it was obvious that what Mrs. Liu was mainly asking about was the matter of "winter sweet potatoes."

Ye Yuran heard what was going on and understood. The Liu family's conditions were obviously better than those of Zhu Laosan's family, but why did they fall in love with Zhu Laosan's family? In fact, they came not for Zhu Laosan's family, but for Zhu Laosan's family.

Came from Old Man Zhu's house.

Since they are brothers, they will definitely not miss out on growing winter sweet potatoes.

Before, Ye Yuran also arranged for her daughter-in-law to return to her parents' home, saying hello and asking her parents-in-law to give their names.

It's just that no matter how well the Zhu family prepares, the focus in the first year is still on Zhujia Village, and several villages in other places are allocated a few places.

The uprightness of each village is controlled by the clan leader. No one knows who will fall into the hands.

But Ye Yuran knew that no matter how much control she exerted, except for Li Zheng, the patriarch's family would be there, and the natal families of her daughters-in-law would definitely not be left behind.

After beating around the bush to this point, he just said clearly: "My girl will marry into your Zhu family, so our family can have a share of this quota, right?"

Third Aunt Zhu and Fourth Aunt Zhu did not dare to say anything at all.

Just kidding, the quota is decided by the sister-in-law's family. If they dare to be the boss of the old godly woman, they will not be "divided" into singles that year.

It was said that the elder sister-in-law's family was "divided" out, but there was nothing they could do about the three brothers and the old Qian woman who took advantage of the fact that she had given birth to several grandsons and grabbed an extra acre or two of land.

They are getting old and have been suffering for so many years. Who would have thought that when it was their turn for their sons to fall in love with each other, they would still take advantage of the old godly woman?!

At this point, they both seemed particularly helpless.

Liu Yan was obviously much smarter than Zhu Sanzhuang. While she was talking to Zhu Sanzhuang, she was also listening to the conversation next door.

After all, it was not Zhu Sanzhuang that her mother originally fell in love with, but another family. But there was news about sweet potatoes in Zhujia Village. There were people with noses and eyes. Even the village chief and the patriarch were interested. And that one was related to Old Man Zhu’s family.

My dear Liu Desheng's family was directly on the list, which made the family a little jealous and wanted a piece of the pie.

Liu Yan knew very well that whether her affair with Zhu Sanzhuang would work out or not would all depend on whether this "deal" could work out.

"Sigh... there is nothing we can do about it." Ye Yuran felt bright in her heart. She knew exactly what the other party had planned. She pretended to be embarrassed, sighed, and said, "Mrs. Liu, why don't you mention it?"

I'm really embarrassed to tell you about this, but since you said it, I won't hide it from you."

Taking advantage of the other party's ignorance of numbers, Ye Yuran openly and honestly calculated how many families there were in Zhujia Village, plus her own relatives, the integrity of each village, the clan leaders, and their relationships. It was not a small number at all.

However, the number that changes is only the number of households. She has to prepare as many sweet potato seedlings as each household needs.

But it was also the first year for her family to plant it, so there was no such a large amount, so they came in batches on a first-come, first-served basis, but there was nothing they could do about it.

It was just like this, and it was a bit reluctant. If there were errors or losses during the planting process, she didn't know how much each person would get.

"This winter sweet potato is not so much a winter sweet potato as it is an early winter or autumn sweet potato. It grows when the weather is hot and will not grow if it is planted late."

"My biggest trouble now is this. I can't produce so many seedlings at one time. I have to do it in batches, first and then later."

"Those who are left behind will be in trouble. They don't have enough growing time. It doesn't matter whether the sweet potatoes can grow well. If they don't even grow sweet potatoes by then, they will be in trouble."

…

It seems that he has foreseen the scene where everyone's work was in vain and the entire Zhu family was pointed at and scolded.

Mrs. Liu knows how to behave miserably to gain sympathy, and so can Ye Yuran.

What she sells is the "misery" of the past, speaking of the famine of that year, as if if Ye Yuran doesn't agree, the Liu family will encounter such misery again.

Ye Yuran's miserable sale is "the future". If everyone blames the Zhu family for this kind of thing, forcing the Zhu family to agree, it would be fine if there are gains in the future, but if everyone is "working in vain"

", the fate of the Zhu family will only be worse than "famine".

Because of the famine, there was nothing we could do about it, everyone was like this; but "working in vain" was the fault of the Zhu family.

Without this matter, everyone would be safe and sound, not worrying about the scarcity but the inequality; with this matter, all the faults would be the Zhu family's.

"I'm so worried now that I can't even sleep well. I go to the fields every day and count the sweet potatoes at home." Ye Yuran said with a regretful expression, "Originally, our family harvested some sweet potatoes.

Is it a good thing? As a result, our family and friends are no longer human beings. Sometimes I get angry and want to fight with someone with a knife."

"I can give it to whomever I want. Why should I talk to you about 'fairness'? I have never talked about fairness in my life."

He directly stated that if she really got anxious, the worst possible outcome would be to use a knife.

Anyway, she has never talked about "fairness" to others in her life.

With a few words, the atmosphere suddenly dropped from a hot spot to a freezing point, making people panic.

Mrs. Liu and Aunt Liu were both frozen there, not knowing what to say.

Of course they knew that the old godmother was not easy to "bully" and was unreasonable, but this was not the case during this period. Liu Desheng's family often took advantage of the Zhu family, so they couldn't help but feel jealous and wanted to take advantage of her.

What they ignored was that Liu Desheng's family and Lao Qianpo's family were in-laws; and their family booked a room with Zhu Laosan's family. Even if the relationship was restored and they moved around, they would live in separate rooms.

Mrs. Liu felt a chill in her heart and said with a sneer: "How could we get to that point? It's definitely not possible. Everyone says this sweet potato is easy to grow. If you water it a few times, it will grow on its own. So
