Traveling through ancient times, the spy princess had everything going smoothly

The head of the village gave the money to Lao Chutou and gave two documents of severance of relationship to Lao Chutou and Chu Laoer respectively.

"Now that the money has been paid, you are two families with no relation to each other. Do not have any further involvement. Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude. If you cause trouble again, I will drive the troublemakers out of Shangao Village. Do you understand?"

After saying that, he looked specifically at the Chu family and their group. Their minds were now filled with money. They all smiled and said "I understand, I understand" and turned around and left.

The remaining witnesses said a few words of comfort and then went about their own business.

Everyone in the Chu family who received 1,000 taels had their own plans. After returning home, they sat together to discuss how to deal with the money. Liu meant to put all the money in her own pocket.

But the two sons and daughter-in-law had never seen so much money before, and they all wanted to give some to themselves so that they would have some money in their hands.

Old Chu decided to divide ten taels of silver between the two families, and told them to keep it well and spend it as they wish.

"Your mother and I will keep the remaining money for Ran'er's studies and exams. This money will probably be enough to last until Ran finishes the exams. We can still live our lives as before and not show off our wealth."

Little did they know that their story of breaking off an engagement in exchange for money would soon spread throughout the village and the surrounding villages.

Seeing that no one was considering their own affairs, Chu Qingmei pulled her mother's clothes.

When Zhou saw her daughter, she suddenly remembered that Qingmei had been sent back home, so she said to Old Chu:

"Dad, in order to support Ran's studies, our family snatched Qin from Qinghe. We agreed that the dowry would be thirty taels of silver, but in the end, they only took five taels. The Lin family was very unhappy.

Now that Mr. Lin and his son are both lying in bed, and the family has no source of income, doesn't it ask Qingmei to come back and ask when the dowry money will be paid?

My daughter-in-law thinks that Ran Ge and the father and son of the Lin family will be able to take care of each other in the future. We have money now, so why not give Mei girl some dowry money to avoid the child staying in her parents' home for too long and causing gossip? What do you think? "

Old Chu pondered for a while, felt that what Zhou said made some sense, and nodded:

"That's right. I'll give Qingmei 40 taels of silver, 30 taels as a dowry, and the rest will be kept by Mei girl as a private possession. No one can tell anyone. Your mother-in-law is not easy to deal with. Take the silver and go back this afternoon. You still have health, so don't run around too much in the future."

Chu Qingmei didn't expect that her grandfather would give her the silver so easily. Now she could go home to see her husband. After lunch, Chu Qingmei took 40 taels of silver and Chu Qingran took 10 taels. They left the house together, one to her husband's house and the other to the academy, and then they separated.

At Chu Laoer's house, after everyone left, Qin held the jade tablet in her hand and rubbed it while crying.

“Is this the jade token my family gave me?

When your father brought me back, it was still on me.

Later, your grandmother took it away. When I asked her for it back, she said she would sell me to a brothel. At that time, I was so scared that I could only let her bully and humiliate me and take away my things without saying a word. "

Chu Laoer watched his wife crying and could only lie on the bed, anxious, with red eyes.

Seeing her mother crying like this, Chu Qinghe knew that it was due to her dissatisfaction, grievance and pain in her previous life, as well as her longing for her family and her joy of seeing them soon.

She hugged her mother and waited for her to stop crying, then said to Qin: "Mom, grandma said your name is on it, let's see what it says? Mom, do you still remember your name?"

Qin wiped her tears embarrassedly, picked up the jade token and looked at the words on it. After searching for a while, she found the two words "Wanyun".

"Wanyun, is this my name?"

Chu Qinghe smiled and said, "Yes, grandma said your name is Qin Wanyun, and you and your siblings all have a jade plaque with your name engraved on it.

If Liu had told the truth when the Qin family came to visit more than a decade ago, you wouldn’t have been separated for so many years and endured so much pain.”

"Yes, I only knew that my jade token was important, but I didn't know that my name was engraved on it. It's my fault for being so stupid."

Chu Qinghe suddenly realized that her mother could read! "Mom, can you read?" she asked curiously.

Qin said sadly: "Yes, I can read. When I first came here, your father learned to read from me. Your grandma even beat and scolded me because of this.

After that, I didn’t dare to show the fact that I could read in front of others, so I taught your father to read in secret.

I taught you when you were young, but later on, there was so much work to do every day that you gradually gave up."

Chu Qinghe really didn't remember this happening. So she comforted Qin:

"Don't worry, mother. The suffering we have endured over the years will not be in vain. Good will be rewarded with good, and evil will be punished with evil. The Chu family will not have a good life."

"Well, mother believes you."

After comforting Qin, she led everyone to make clothes at home and took care of the two brothers Chu, who continued to lie down and rest.

Chu Qinghe used a large backpack and carried a basket of sweet potato seedlings grown in the space to the newly opened field.

When we got to the field, we found that there were a lot more wastelands reclaimed here. It turned out that using oxen to plow the land was really effective!

Looking around, the corn planted during this period has also sprouted seedlings, some of which are as tall as a foot.

Chu Qinghe put the things at the edge of the field and found Sun Hu. Since his fourth uncle needed rest recently, he gave the task of planting sweet potatoes to Sun Hu.

When Sun Hu saw Chu Qinghe, he ran over quickly.

"Master, you are here."

"Well, Brother Sun, these are sweet potato seedlings. Today you are responsible for leading everyone to plant these sweet potato seedlings."

It was the first time that Sun Hu saw sweet potato seedlings. He was curious about what kind of crop it was and what it could grow.

"Boss, what kind of crop is sweet potato? What can it grow? I don't even know how to grow it." Although he was good at planting, he couldn't pretend to know something about a crop he had never grown before, so as not to ruin his boss's plans.

Chu Qinghe smiled and said, "Brother Sun, sweet potatoes are a kind of crop. One acre of land can grow at least thirty dan, and at most fifty dan of sweet potatoes. They can be eaten as food and can also be used as vegetables. So we want~~~"

Sun Hu's eyes widened and he said, "Boss, what are you talking about? One acre produces 50 dan. If we all plant sweet potatoes, then we won't have to go hungry in the future, right?"

Sun Hu was so excited that he wanted to cry. If he had had sweet potatoes earlier, his family would not have died on the way to escape famine!

Chu Qinghe knew what happened to Sun Hu and said to him:

"Yes, if everyone starts planting in the future, many people will not go hungry or freeze, and no one will starve to death. So, this important task is handed over to you."
