Pig Killer

"There's nothing to worry about." Shen Changsheng said carelessly, "It's okay, I'm back safely."

"This nobleman didn't keep his word. He confiscated it and kicked you out. He even..." Shen Hui'e ran her index finger across her neck and said, "We are all ants in their eyes. These things should be offered as gifts, but they still want money. How audacious."

"Uh..." Shen Changsheng hesitated for a moment and said, "You are exaggerating. The county magistrate seems very kind."

"You may know a person's face but not his heart. You must always be on guard against him." Shen Hui'e said as she looked at him with her deep and unfathomable eyes.

"The money he will earn in the future will be a mountain of gold and silver. He will not take this thousand gold seriously." Shen Changsheng looked at her gently and said.

"Think of me as overly suspicious! It's better to be careful." Shen Hui'e looked at him with deep and penetrating eyes and said, "They don't have to come to rob openly. As long as they spread the news that your family has a lot of gold, it will be enough to make the desperate criminals ready to act. Let our family be destroyed directly."

"I understand the principle of not showing off your wealth." Shen Changsheng looked at her gently and said, "The county governor also promised to give us a small amount of iron lumps every ten days, so we don't have to worry about running out of iron for making iron pots."

"You actually made this request." Shen Hui'e looked at him in surprise.

"Yes! I mentioned it briefly, and the county governor asked me what reward I wanted." Shen Changsheng said honestly, "This is for the county governor. I just want him to give me some ironware to make iron pots for cooking."

"You are so bold." Shen Hui'e looked at him nervously and said, "Ironware is under the control of the court."

"There's a little bit of it between their fingers, but it's enough for us." Shen Changsheng looked at her kindly and said, "I brought back several truckloads this time, which is enough for us." He smiled and said, "I will send some more regularly in the future."

"This..." Shen Hui'e looked at him in amazement.

"Second sister, second sister." Shen Changsheng stretched out his hand and waved it in front of her.

"Oh!" Shen Hui'e blinked, came back to her senses and looked at him.

"What are you thinking about? You are so obsessed." Shen Changsheng looked at her worriedly and asked.

"It's that simple." Shen Hui'e looked at him in disbelief.

"Of course, how difficult do you think it is?" Shen Changsheng looked at her with amusement.

"Why are you going to pay a visit so casually? The county magistrate is not someone you would meet with ordinary people! And you don't even know him." Shen Hui'e looked at him curiously with her beautiful peach blossom eyes and asked.

"Of course I'm not unprepared." Shen Changsheng looked at her with deep eyes and said, "If we show up rashly like this, it would be strange if we don't get beaten out!"

"Yes! Yes!" Shen Hui'e nodded vigorously. "Little devils have always been difficult to deal with. They are even more arrogant than adults."

"So! I used some tricks." Shen Changsheng looked at her with his deep and bright eyes.

"Methods?" Shen Hui'e looked at him with interest and said.

"Aren't we here for the salt? Then the food we cook will be more convincing." Shen Changsheng said to her with his bright black eyes.

"Nobles don't easily eat food from outside." Shen Hui'e frowned slightly and looked at him and said, "Aren't you afraid of being poisoned?"

"I know that it's not a good deal to rush in." Shen Changsheng looked at her with a smile and said, "The county magistrate has a hobby, he likes to observe the customs of the people under his rule."

Shen Hui'e looked at him with a knowing look and guessed, "You're not going to have a teppanyaki on the way here, are you?"

"That's right!" Shen Changsheng looked at her proudly and said, "The aroma of teppanyaki is so tempting that no one can refuse it."

"In this way, I have met the county magistrate as I wished and presented him with clean salt." Shen Hui'e looked at him with bright eyes and said.

"Yes!" Shen Changsheng nodded with a smile.

"It seems that the county magistrate is quite approachable." Shen Hui'e said with some surprise.

"You are not as high and mighty as other nobles." Shen Changsheng looked at her with calm eyes and said.

"You have to be careful though. You can't judge a person by his appearance." Shen Hui'e said cautiously, "Who knows if he will play dirty tricks behind his back."

"Our county is very small, and any stranger will be noticed at a glance. I will be careful." Shen Changsheng said cautiously, "I was also nervous because of what you said."

"Better be careful than be slow." Shen Hui'e looked at him with her deep and penetrating eyes and said.

"I will." Shen Changsheng nodded carefully, "This huge fortune is all your credit. This money..."

"I just came up with the idea, and it was Big Brother who ran around." Shen Hui'e looked at him with deep and penetrating eyes and said, "Going to Hedong County, a place where you are unfamiliar with, taking risks, and earning a thousand gold." Looking at him intently, she asked, "How about one third?"

Shen Changsheng looked at her in astonishment and said, "This is too little! Without your ideas, how would I have earned this unexpected fortune!"

"Listen to me! This matter is decided." Shen Hui'e looked at him seriously and said, "Brother is still taking risks behind!"

"These are all your guesses." Shen Changsheng looked at her with a helpless look.

"There's no room for negotiation." Shen Hui'e said firmly.

Shen Changsheng had no choice but to say, "Then I'll get it for you later." He stared at her and said, "Don't show off your wealth. Don't spend money lavishly."

"I understand, big brother too." Shen Hui'e smiled and raised the corners of her lips.

"Yeah!" Shen Changsheng nodded vigorously, "My life won't change much. I still have to go to the fields to farm."

Speaking of farming, Shen Hui'e frowned again, feeling a headache!

Shen Changsheng looked at her worriedly with amusement and said, "It's just farming, what are you afraid of?"

"There's no one here! How can I not have a headache?" Shen Hui'e pinched her eyebrows and looked at him and said.

"We are here! We will definitely help you farm." Shen Changsheng said to her with a smile on his face.

"There are so many lands, and some of them are your own." Shen Hui'e said with a frown.

"You have seen this since you were a child. You have never been so panicked before!" Shen Changsheng scratched his head and said, "You have never been to the fields before." He smiled and said, "Now you have money to hire someone."

"Aren't they tired?" Shen Hui'e pursed her lips and looked at him.

"Farming is hard work, and our ancestors have been doing it this way for generations!" Shen Changsheng looked at her with amusement and said, "If you can make money, you won't feel it's hard work anymore."

"What do you think about every day?" Shen Changsheng looked at her with a raised eyebrow and said, "Aren't you tired of killing pigs? Day after day."

"Not tired! I don't feel tired at all when I make money." Shen Hui'e looked at him with a smile and said, "Every night when I hold the earthenware pot and shake it, listening to the crisp sound of copper plates colliding, all the tiredness is gone."
