Chapter 14: Early Grain Harvest

Chen Yu'an originally wanted to see what the way to inform the news was like, so he came with Mrs. Shen. He was hearing that many people in the crowd pointed the finger at her father.

Old Mrs. Shen also heard the words slandering Chen Rong, and immediately shouted in a loud voice: "What's wrong? My son put a knife on your neck and forced you to collect food or not."

The old lady who was criticized by Mrs. Shen spoke up. She was of the same seniority as Mrs. Shen. Who is afraid of the quarrel?

The old lady pinched her waist and said, "Who asked your son to spread rumors about what kind of locust plague is going to happen? We have lived here safely for a lifetime, and have never heard of this incident at any time."

Chen Yu'an looked calm and had no big fluctuations in her heart. However, the Shen family was willing to tell the news because they were considering that she could not let them spread rumors.

She said: "We are just speculating on this matter and cannot guarantee the villagers any guarantee. However, we are willing to say it because of the friendship between neighbors and neighbors. It is just that ugly things are ahead. If something really happens, we can come to us to borrow food, so don't say that our family is cold-blooded and ignores the friendship between the countryside."

Chen Lizheng originally wanted to enjoy the fruits of his life and let the villagers lead the fire to Chen Rong, but he didn't expect that Old Mrs. Shen and his girl came.

I could only add in awkward manner: "The girl from the Shen family is right. We just told everyone about this. I would like to watch everyone. We don't force it, don't force it."

Chen Yu'an looked at him coldly, don't think she didn't know, what she just said here was to lead the finger to their house.

The crowd was silent for a moment, and someone said, "The girl from the Shen family is right. Shen Xiucai told us this matter well. As for whether he is willing to accept it or not, it is not your business."

Some people thought he was right and quickly agreed.

Ma and Lin Chunyan stood on the edge of the crowd. When they heard that everyone began to praise Chen Rong, they felt very upset because the incident a few days ago, the villagers avoided her and her daughter like snakes and scorpions, and they hated them.

Mrs. Ma said: "Then we collected the food in advance and this loss will you have to give it to everyone?"

Ma's words hit the minds of most people, and they were also hesitant. They were afraid of locust plagues if they were not collected, and they were afraid of no locust plagues if they were collected. If Ma said this, wouldn't it be avoided?

A few people immediately agreed. Wu Cuihua couldn't see it. She pointed to those who asked the Shen family to compensate for the losses and said, "Everyone said that people are shameless and invincible in the world. I think you are shameless and shameless. Why do you have the nerve to say such things? Why do they have to pay you for food?

Do you like to collect it or not? Anyway, my family will collect it. If there is a famine, you will regret it."

After Wu Cuihua finished speaking, she walked over and took Old Mrs. Shen's hand and walked out of the crowd together. She had to ask more and see when their family would collect food. She had to follow suit.

Chen Nian, the son of Wu Cuihua family, also studied with Chen Rong in the town school. Every time he came back, he praised Master Chen for being so powerful. She had a good relationship with Song again, and she had already believed what she said just now.

...

The sisters-in-law of the Shen family also went back to their parents' home to tell them about this. Chen Yun accompanied Xiao Zhang to the next Zhang village early in the morning.

The Song family and Xiao Zhang family were quite smooth, and they were both willing to gamble with the Shen family, but Zhao was very angry at her parents' home.

Song's mother's family...

"I haven't come back for eight hundred years, so I'll get such a little thing when I come back." Li Jinhua reached out with a mean look and snatched the basket Zhao's shoulders, lifted up and saw a lot of eggs and dozens of fruits that could not be seen, and said dissatisfiedly.

Old Mrs. Shen thought that the three sisters-in-law, Song and the others, might have not been home for a long time, so she took the same number of eggs and loquats to take with her.

When Song and Xiao Zhang's parents received the gift, they both felt that their daughter was living well in the in-laws' house. Only Li Jinhua, who sold her daughter as goods, would dislike the few things she brought back.

Although that was said, Li Jinhua still let Zhao enter after collecting the things.

Li Jinhua walked behind with a basket on her back and asked, "What are you doing when you are back?"

"We have been drought for a long time. My man's brother is afraid that there will be a locust plague next, so he asked him to come back and tell you." Zhao said lukewarmly.

If she hadn't been concerned about that little bit of love, she wouldn't want to come back at all. She married into the Shen family but was half-married. In order to ask for a few taels of silver, she even forced her to sign the contract for her to sell her body.

However, Zhao was very glad to have this contract for sale. After she got married, Li Jinhua and her son came to the door to fight Qiufeng every now and then, which made the Shen family stubbornly blocked her from the grounds of selling her contract.

In the end, she asked for ten taels of silver from the Shen family, and her second sister who was sold to the town's official mansion was only thirteen taels of silver.

She knew that the Shen family almost spent most of her family possessions at that time. After Shen Rong failed the exam, she missed the second chance to participate, so most of the reason for her good deeds in Shen Yu'an was that she wanted to compensate her for the big house.

"I'm kicked by a donkey, and there's a locust plague. Why didn't he say that there would be silver in the sky?" Li Jinhua mocked.

Seeing that Zhao had nothing to say, Li Jinhua started to chase people: "Okay, you can leave if you have nothing to do. Have lunch here and waste food. Remember to get more eggs next time, your brother loves to eat this."

Zhao's eyes were red with anger, and he clenched his fists and rushed to Li Jinhua. He grabbed the basket from her hand, and didn't care whether the eggs inside would break, so he fell to the ground.

"If you like to eat eggs, let your good son earn it by his ability." After that, he walked out of the yard with a basket in his hand.

Li Jinhua didn't expect that Zhao, who was beaten and scolded in the past, dared to come up and grab the basket. She was really easy to get it. After reacting, she wanted to hit her like before. But when she saw the broken eggs on the ground, she quickly squatted down to hold the eggs and kept shouting and scolding them. Zhao also took the opportunity to walk out of the yard.

"You damn little girl, I don't beat you to death next time, I should have strangled you to death when I was born to you."

Zhao walked out of the yard and heard Li Jinhua's screams echoed in his ears.

Zhao felt that her good luck in her life would be used to meet the Shen family, a family member. Fortunately, her mother-in-law was rational at the time. When she heard about her mother's reputation, she wanted so much money, so she decisively asked for a letter of quit and wrote a contract to sell her body, saying that it had nothing to do with the Zhao family anymore.

Poor her second sister, she lost her life not long after being carried to the official's house. When Li Jinhua heard the news, she felt that she could not get more benefits.

No longer thinking about it, Zhao wiped away tears and left angrily, and then pretended that he had no such mother in the future!

In Shenjia Village, not long after Wu Cuihua and Old Lady Shen left, the crowd gradually dispersed.

Some people hurriedly went home to discuss, while others disdained and felt that this was absolutely impossible.

The Shen family didn't care about everyone's opinions, rolled up their sleeves and started to go to the ground to harvest. When Zhao returned to Shenjia Village, he adjusted his emotions and took the sickle to help.

The wealthy family worked together and worked hard. The people who were watching could no longer sit still. They saw that the Li Zheng family had started to harvest, and many people ran home to get sickles.
