Traveling to an ancient peasant family: I got rich by doing business

The second great grandfather felt that his brothers were useless. They were so old but still had such simple minds.

Sighing, the second great grandfather said, "You are really stupid. You also know that Han Shui's wife and Han He's wife got the benefits. Why did they get them? Of course, it's because they are good to Xiu Wen's wife.

They know how to do good things and be good people. Wouldn't you arrange for the younger generation in your family to learn from them? When Xiu Wen's wife is in trouble, ask them to help. Over time, after many times, Xiu Wen's wife will naturally remember their kindness in her heart, and when there is a way to make money next time, she will naturally take them with her. "

The fifth great grandfather argued: "Xiu Wen's wife is from our Han family. Normally, she should take the initiative to lead us to earn money without our help."

Second Great Grandfather: "You are really...really...you didn't help them in the beginning, how can you expect others to help you unconditionally? You can't be like this, only wanting to get, not wanting to give, it doesn't make sense."

Fifth Great Grandfather: “…”

The second great grandfather shook his head and said, "Let me continue what I said just now. Let's not talk about who Xiu Wen's wife is helping to make money. Can't you see that Zheng Ge'er listens to Xiu Wen's wife? Because of Xiu Wen's wife, he can study and take the imperial examination. So even if you don't like Xiu Wen's wife, you can't cause trouble for her. Otherwise, believe it or not, Zheng Ge'er will definitely turn against you."

Fifth Great Grandfather: “…”

The second great grandfather shook his head and said, "Zheng'er passed the imperial examination and the thirty acres of land under his name can be exempted from land tax. Excluding the dozen acres of land owned by his family, there are still a dozen acres left. I have already discussed with him that we can each get a few acres of the land and put it in his name. The more we can exempt, the better. But you just spoke to Xiu Wen's wife like that..."

He sighed, "I hope Xiuwen's wife doesn't mention it to Zheng Ge'er, otherwise your family probably won't have a spot."

The color on Fifth Grandfather's face suddenly faded, "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"I was planning to tell you this afternoon, but who knew you had such a bad temper that you quarreled with Xiu Wen's wife over Han Erqian. You said that Han Erqian was not a good person and had no good reputation in the village, but you treated him as your apple of the eye. Now, the trouble he caused directly implicated you. You, you should be smarter in the future."

After saying that, the second great grandfather left, and the other elders looked at the fifth great grandfather, shook their heads, and stood up to leave. Normally, at their age, they should understand everything, but the fifth great grandfather is just a fool, it's enough.

Fifth Great Grandfather: “…” Han Erqian is a bastard, he is always doing bad things, I will scold him to death.

Li Yu knew nothing about what the elders said after she left. After leaving, she went directly to Han Sheng's house and asked him if he wanted to help with plowing the land.

Han Sheng's family had little land, so he was naturally willing and agreed excitedly.

Li Yu told him the time and arrangement for farming, and then went to the homes of several other villagers who had fewer fields but good character.

When they heard that she wanted to hire them to help with farming, they were all delighted.

"Xiu Wen's wife, don't worry, leave the farm matters to me, there will be no problem."

"I'll be there in a minute. I won't delay you."

Li Yu nodded.

After arranging the people to be hired, it was already noon when I got home. Han Xiaomei and Qi Yue were washing vegetables, and Ah Fu was lying at the door, his tail wagging from time to time.

Li Yu greeted them, sat down to rest for a while, and then got up to cook.

After dinner, Qi Yue and Afu were at home. Li Yu locked the door and took Han Xiaomei to the field to check the condition of the farmland.

Although she had hired someone, she had to check from time to time to prevent anyone from seeing that she was deliberately delaying. Although she felt that the people she hired were all good people, she had to be cautious.

On the way, Li Yu talked to Han Xiaomei while looking around.

The weather was not too hot, so everyone was seizing the time to work. The fields were full of people, some even with their entire family, and children of several years old were weeding with small hoes.

"I used to do the housework too." Han Xiaomei thought of herself, "Yang Qiuyue couldn't bear to see me rest. When it was time to farm, she would drive me and my second and third brothers out to work before dawn, while she herself would stay at home and be lazy."

Speaking of Yang Qiuyue, Li Yu thought of one thing, "I don't think I've heard any news about their family recently." Since being removed from the family tree, Yang Qiuyue and Han Xiuwu seemed to have disappeared from the face of the earth. She hadn't seen them for a while. According to Yang Qiuyue's personality, this shouldn't be the case.

Maybe something happened.

Li Yu thought this was possible, but then she put the matter behind her. What happened to Yang Qiuyue and Han Xiuwu had nothing to do with her, so there was no need to pay attention to them.

Li Yu focuses on her own family, but there are some things she can't just ignore just because she doesn't want to know.

After arriving at the paddy field, Li Yu discovered that the paddy field next to his home had changed hands.

The paddy fields here were given to Han Zheng by Zhao Yuanwai as a thank-you gift after Han Zheng saved Zhao Yuanwai's son. There were ten acres of land in total. When the family was divided, four acres of land were given to Han Zheng and six acres were given to Han Xiuwu.

Normally, Han Xiuwu should be working in the fields at this time, but surprisingly, the person working in the six acres of land today was a stranger.

"We live in the town, and we wanted to buy a few acres of paddy fields for planting two years ago, but unfortunately we couldn't find a suitable one. Until a few days ago, a woman found us and said she wanted to sell it. We thought the price was right, so we bought it directly. I have to say, these acres of land are really good." An elderly woman smiled and talked to Li Yu.

Li Yu looked at her and asked, "Did they say why they were selling the land?"

The woman smacked her lips. "It sounded like they were selling the land to save their brother or something. I heard a little, but I'm not sure what it was."

Li Yu keenly caught the key word "brother" from these sentences. Could it be that Yang Qiuyue sold the land to help Yang Qiushan?

Then she is really a good sister, but I don’t know what Han Xiuwu thinks.

With so many things to do at home, Li Yu's attention soon shifted to his own land.

In the next few days, she sold braised meat and dishes every morning, went to the fields to check on the work progress at noon, and braised meat and dishes in the afternoon. Her life was extremely busy and fulfilling.

The days passed slowly, and in the blink of an eye, the spring ploughing came to an end.

Li Yu's family's land was neither too much nor too little, but because she hired many people, it took only six days to complete it.

On the last day, Li Yu paid everyone their wages and discussed with them the weeding task.

Unexpectedly, there would be work after a while, and the hired people were very excited and agreed to do it one after another. Li Yu was a good employer. Other employers only paid her ten cents for a day's work, but Li Yu gave them fifteen cents, and they were willing to work for her.

Li Yu thought that the spring ploughing was over, but someone didn't want her to feel at ease.

One day, Li Yu and Han Zheng passed by their own paddy field. They turned their heads inadvertently and found a big problem.

Someone was actually pulling out their rice seedlings.
