After Xiong Xiong drove the carriage back home, although he felt disgusted in his heart, he still wanted to move the seeds to the warehouse, but he did not want to hear Su Jian's order to move all the seeds to her yard.
Moldy seeds were piled directly in the corner of the yard, and soybeans and discolored soybeans were moved directly to her room.
To be honest, Blind Xiong couldn't understand Su Jian's series of actions. So much so that he couldn't help but think about this issue on the way back to his room.
"squeak."
"Bang."
The door was locked just as soon as it was opened.
Blind Xiong noticed that there was someone in the house, and turned around to chop his hands. As he watched his hands rise and fall, he saw Xiong Er smiling innocently at him. He paused with his raised hand, and then looked inside the house. He saw that Xiong Er's three brothers were all there.
When Xiong Da saw Blind Xiong sitting on a table nearby, he quickly stepped forward and said, "Brother Xiong, please tell us quickly. Are you not going to run the village anymore?"
"I think it must be no longer in business. Look at how many things Madam bought today. She must enjoy it by herself." Xiong Er thought of something as he spoke and smacked his lips: "I just don't know if Madam will do it this time."
Kindly send us some food." No meat, even if it smells of oil, it's fine.
Blind Xiong looked at Xiong Er and saw that Xiong Er was swallowing his saliva in dissatisfaction. He didn't know how to describe him for a moment: "What Madam bought here are all seeds."
"So Madam is planning to continue running Zhuangzi. What she said yesterday is true!"
"It's all seeds? It's not meat."
"That being the case, should I instruct my men to not just pull up the weeds but also the seedlings? This would save a lot of effort."
The three bear brothers spoke at the same time, with different expressions.
Blind Xiong looked at them, opened his mouth, and said after a while: "It is true that Madam wants to continue to manage Zhuangzi, but I do not advocate pulling out all the wheat seedlings."
"Why?" Xiong Da finally breathed a sigh of relief. Madam was not interested in managing Zhuangzi on a whim. Hearing what Blind Xiong said, there was doubt in his words: "Brother Xiong, didn't you tell us to listen to Madam?"
Blind Xiong hesitated for a while, and finally told them about Su Jian's purchase of moldy corn seeds.
The corner of Xiong Er's lips twitched: "Moldy seeds are not suitable for use as fertilizer or seeds. Madam, this is not reliable."
"Yes, and the shopkeeper said so, but Madam didn't listen to her advice," Xiong San said.
"Is it possible that Madam has some difficulties?" Xiong Da thought about various possibilities. Although he didn't know Su Jian well, intuitively, Su Jian didn't seem to be that kind of person: "Is it possible that Madam is actually just like us, she doesn't have any problems?"
Money, but we think Madam is rich?”
After Xiong Da finished speaking, he saw that everyone's eyes were on him. He felt that his guess was confirmed: "We all know that the madam has a large dowry, but we don't know what the madam's dowry contains. So,
Did your wife just settle for the next best thing and buy moldy corn seeds?”
Everyone looked at Xiong Da, thinking about the possibilities in Xiong Da's words.
On the other side, Su Jian returned to the room. After she put away the soybeans and other items, she was not idle. She first laid out the things she needed on paper and gave it to Gohuang to be responsible for purchasing. Then she found Liniang and told
Liniang told Liniang that she wanted to build a small kitchen.
Although Liniang was surprised when she heard this, she also understood that there was only one kitchen in the general's mansion. Madam was delicate, so her food must be different from theirs. If she ate something good every time, it would attract many people. Madam couldn't eat it every time.
All her food was contributed.
"Yes, I will immediately find someone to help Madam build a small kitchen in the yard."
Seeing Liniang's willingness to agree, Su Jian nodded: "I saw that the yard next door is also vacant. I'm looking for someone to open up the wall between the two yards. I can use the open space in that yard."
Liniang looked at Su Jian with disapproval in her eyes.
Su Jian noticed the changes in Liniang. She wanted to build a small kitchen, but Liniang was not surprised. She wanted to open the walls of the two courtyards, but Liniang expressed her objections.
"Madam, the yard next door is the general's yard."
"I know."
"You know? Then you should know that the general's yard cannot be tampered with."
"When the general returns home, he lives in a room in the courtyard, not in a house. Although I have connected the two courtyards, I will use the open space in his courtyard."
"..."
Su Jian saw that Liniang was unmoved and had no intention of letting go. She had just entered the general's mansion for the first time and was not completely familiar with it. Even so, she did not want to use force to suppress others, so she continued: "I am the general.
Husband, there is harmony between husband and wife
, Only a government can prosper, and the general is a kind man. He is willing to ignore himself and endure hardships with you for your sake. I think... knowing that it can improve your lives, he will definitely be willing to contribute his yard.
."
In fact, Su Jian said it euphemistically. What she meant in her heart was that Zhan Zhan was so brainless and kind-hearted that he should be willing to contribute not only the yard but also his own room.
It's not that Zhan Zhan is not good, but people like Zhan Zhan are only suitable for admiration, but not suitable for being a husband or even a friend.
Liniang's eyes when looking at Su Jian were still hesitant, but obviously not as firm as before.
"Then...ma'am, are you really sure?"
Su Jian did not answer Liniang's question: "If you tell me, go ahead and give me two days at most. I want my small kitchen and the fence to be completed."
"Madam, two days is too much, isn't it? It's spring plowing now, brothers..."
"Those who help me build the kitchen and take care of the courtyard walls are given one chicken drumstick a day." Su Jian noticed the change in Liniang's eyes: "If the work is done well, half a chicken is not a problem."
Liniang's eyes suddenly opened wide and she looked straight at Su Jian. She knew very well how greedy the brothers were. In fact, it wasn't just the brothers. The female relatives were also greedy for meat. If it weren't for her, there would still be some.
Reason, chicken legs... She wanted to agree without hesitation.
"If the government really can't allocate manpower, then I will ask Ge Huang to find someone outside." Su Jian showed that she did not want to embarrass others.
"No!" Liniang said quickly, meeting Su Jian's eyes, she saluted: "There are many people in the mansion, if we want to force them to be transferred, it should be feasible."
"Forcibly transferred?" Su Jian frowned, then shook her head: "Don't be embarrassed, just find someone outside the house."
Liniang panicked in her heart: "Madam, don't be embarrassed. I remember, Zhang Da and the others have recruited new people, so they should have extra manpower."
Su Jian took a deep look at Liniang, and when Liniang looked hesitant and struggled, she said, "Okay."
When Liniang heard this, she felt relieved. Fortunately, her brothers did not miss the opportunity to eat meat: "It's just materials for building the kitchen..."
"I have already made a list for the goose yellows. Just find the manpower and start work tomorrow." Su Jian had already anticipated Liniang's change of words. She knew very well how tempting meat would be to them if they had not eaten meat for a year.
..
It was very important to her to build a small kitchen and open up the yard. She could have ordered them directly without giving them anything, but she wanted to use this small matter to show the people in the house that they were really helping her.
