Chapter 42: Renting Land and Hiring People

He Mengjuan looked up at him, her eyes as gentle as water.

"Well, you should also take some rest and not work too hard. The school doesn't need you to supervise all the time."

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing." Feng Runming patted her shoulder.

He Mengjuan suddenly thought of her daughter, so she asked, "Mom is taking Yueyue to the countryside to play, when will she be back?"

Feng Runming smiled gently and said, "Why are you still rushing me? Can't you just relax a little?"

"I'm worried that Mom will be tired alone. I'm not like you who don't feel sorry for others at all." He Mengjuan gave him a sad look.

He Mengjuan married Feng Runming at the age of eighteen.

They have two children, a boy and a girl, making a perfect couple. Their son is in junior high school in the city and lives on campus. Their youngest daughter is only three years old this year.

Feng Runming looked down at her, his eyes deep and affectionate, "Then I feel so sorry for you."

"Oh, the skin cream—"

……

the other side.

Jiang Moxue's laughter could be heard from the top of the mountain to the bottom.

She seems to be full of energy all the time and has a very contagious charm.

As soon as he got down the mountain, Jiang Jianhua went to the fields to help Chen Guixia spray pesticides. He carried a hand sprayer on his back and walked along the rice fields.

"It will be fine once the spraying is done over there." Chen Guixia shouted at him.

"understood!"

Jiang Moxue ran over and was one step away from Chen Guixia: "Grandma, let's go home quickly and let Dad do it alone."

Jiang Jianhua: You are really my caring little cotton-padded jacket with holes.

"Haha, okay." Chen Guixia hadn't washed her hands yet and didn't dare to hold her hand. She watched her running in front and talking to the old man next to her.

"When the crops are harvested, I will free up the land for Chuci to use. I will just grow rice on weekdays, which will be a lot easier."

Jiang Guosheng smiled and nodded: "Our family's life is getting better and better."

"That's all thanks to Chuci." Chen Guixia was in a good mood: "So, people still have to study. The more you learn, the more you understand, and the more cultural confidence you have."

Jiang Guosheng sighed: "Yes, we are old, there is not much we can do, the best thing is to try not to hold the children back."

Jiang Moxue ran home and rushed into the kitchen first: "Mom, is my sister back?"

Gao Chunling, who was cooking, responded without turning her head: "The roof is being repaired."

Jiang Moxue ran out again, holding onto the ladder and shouting, "Sister!"

On the roof, Jiang Chuci, who had a high ponytail, stood up, stepped on the tiles with her feet, then went down the ladder and looked at her sister who was holding the ladder.

In a teasing tone: "Are you thinking about me or your crayons?"

Jiang Moxue laughed: "I want both!"

Jiang Chuci didn't tease her and went to get the crayons for her: "Don't throw them around."

"I know." Jiang Moxue squatted at the door, drawing with a notebook. After a while, she looked up and said, "Sister, can I use the crayons with Sister Yanzi?"

"Sure." Sharing with friends is not a bad thing, but your friends have to be worthy of it.

Jiang Chuci knew Yan Zi. Coincidentally, she was Aunt Mo's daughter.

The little girl is a few months older than Jiang Moxue, so they grew up together.

"Ding-ling-ling--" The sound of the bicycle horn came from far away.

The postman put one foot on the ground, stopped his bike, and took a letter from the back.

"Jiang Yilin, there's a letter for you."

Jiang Chuci, who was still standing in the yard, took a look and was a little curious.

When did this postman become so nice that he even delivered letters to my door?

"Coming!" Jiang Yilin came out of the house quickly.

The postman watched him take the letter and sign before he left with peace of mind.

Jiang Moxue asked curiously, "Brother, who sent you the letter?" Jiang Yilin looked at the words on the envelope, and couldn't suppress the smile between his brows.

"It's a letter from the old gentleman."

Jiang Moxue didn't know the old man, but Jiang Chuci knew him.

The one who gave Jiang Yilin the novel before and now went to Beijing for a trip.

I didn't expect that the two of them were still in touch through letters. It's a pity that they met too late.

……

After dinner, the family sat in the yard and chatted as usual.

Jiang Chuci mentioned that she wanted to rent some land and hire a few people to help her grow medicinal herbs.

I hadn’t thought about it so early, but now Zhu Yuanyuan is no longer in the village.

Even if she contacted the Bai family in advance, she would not know what was happening in the village. By the time she came back after the college entrance examination, a lot of changes would have occurred.

Besides, Jiang Chuci also has to take the college entrance examination, so it's a good opportunity for her to go and find out the situation, and trick Zhu Yuanyuan at the same time. Anyway, she can't even harm anyone now.

Jiang Chuci still has use for Zhu Yuanyuan, but that doesn't mean she will let Zhu Yuanyuan kill innocent people.

She doesn't like killing people at every turn, so let her not kill.

Back to topic.

Jiang Guosheng paused while smoking his pipe, sat on the door frame and looked back.

"How many acres or mu of land do you want to rent?"

Seeing that he seemed to have thought of something, Jiang Chuci asked him first: "Grandpa, do you have any ideas?"

Jiang Guosheng nodded, took a puff of his pipe and said, "You know Lao An's family. Several people are gone after something happened."

"Only Lao An's son and two grandchildren are left at home. I have met those two children. Although they are young, they have good character and are very sensible."

An Jianping has been paralyzed and bedridden for many years, and the two siblings have no other relatives. The brother is ten years old and the sister is only five years old. They are miserable children.

At a young age, he relies on farming to support his family. He wants to earn money but he is too young, and no one is willing to hire him even if he wants to go out to work.

An Jianping still needs someone to take care of him and buy medicine occasionally. You can imagine how difficult life is.

If Li Guochang hadn’t secretly subsidized the herbal medicine, I’m afraid I wouldn’t be able to afford it.

To be honest, they both have dignity and don't accept anything given to them.

Chen Guixia sighed: "The brother and sister are indeed pitiful, but Chuci, you should decide which one to choose yourself, and don't make a choice out of pity for others."

After all, she runs her own business, and there are so many miserable people in the world.

One after another, no mercy came.

Jiang Guosheng put out his pipe and walked in: "I'm just giving you some advice. These two siblings are a good match. They have good character and are not greedy for money."

The main thing is not to be greedy, otherwise if Li Guochang gave them the medicine, they would not secretly return the money.

When renting land or hiring someone to do something, it is very difficult to find someone who is not greedy.

Jiang Chuci didn't comment: "I'll go take a look tomorrow."

Whether it works or not, we will have to watch it later to know.

……

The next day, Xinping Village was shrouded in heavy rain.

Jiang Chuci was holding an oil-paper bamboo umbrella with a dark earthy surface.

She remembered that the An family was near the back mountain, so she walked along the road for a while.

The An family's house was newly built a few years ago before the accident. After just a few years, it still looks quite impressive, but some places are damaged.

At this time, there was a little girl sitting on the threshold of the yard. She had sallow skin due to malnutrition, her hair was messy, and her clothes were in a mess.

Like all kinds of clothes, in different colors, and then just put them on randomly.

Her eyes are bright, clear and clean, which makes people feel good at first sight.
