After the evil sister took over, all the best went crazy
Chapter 215: The Su Clan Regrets
Su Manman had already prepared the gongs and drums, and upon hearing the words, she started to beat them hard.
The sound of "clang-clang-clang" echoed throughout Sujia Village.
The villagers who were originally hiding in the basement couldn't help but climb up one by one, and then looked out curiously.
From a distance they saw Su Rongrong. They all put on their hats and walked under the big banyan tree that was wilted by the sun.
"Rong girl, I heard you went to the capital city. When did you come back?"
"Rong girl, you came back this time for that thing called watermelon, right?"
"Rong girl, are you ready to collect it? Don't worry, we didn't dare to move, we are just waiting for you to collect it."
"Yes, Master Baili came by a few days ago and said it's almost ripe, so he'll collect it when you come back."
Facing the chattering crowd, Su Rongrong, who was feeling extremely hot, stood on the shaft of the cart and stretched out her hand to signal everyone to be quiet.
After everyone saw her gesture and stopped talking, she said:
“I just got back yesterday, but because I was too tired and too hot, I rested in the city for a night.
Look, he came back early in the morning, thinking about everyone’s crops in the fields.
The price was written on the contract you signed with Brother Zheng, so we will charge according to that.
Ringing the gong now is to tell everyone that you can harvest the melons in the evening and send them all to my house.
I will take whatever you have. We pay and deliver, no credit!"
Everyone in Sujia Village who grew watermelons smiled when they heard this.
No matter how many they planted, the watermelons were really big.
They estimated that the yield from planting half an acre of land would be more than 3,000 kilograms.
Eight cents per pound is equivalent to an income of about twenty-four taels of silver.
Of course, that’s for people who plant more.
Even though they plant only one mu of land, the yield can still be 600 to 700 kilograms.
Even if it is only 600 kilograms, it would still cost 4,800 coins.
It's just one mu of land, but the money is almost four or five taels. How can you make so much money by growing rice?
If they can plant one or two acres next year, even if they only earn four cents per pound, they will still make a fortune.
According to this year's calculations, the yield of watermelon per mu should be about 6,000 to 7,000 kilograms, or even more.
Two acres of land weighs more than 10,000 kilograms. Even if it's four cents, that's still 40 or 50 taels.
And taking care of a watermelon field is very easy, completely different from taking care of rice!
If we talk about the family in the village who will make a fortune this year, it will be Chen Dashan's family.
His daughter gets along well with Rong Yatou, and the land they rented is all from Rong Yatou, so they planted more than anyone else this year.
Others had to rely on robbery to grow one mu of land, but his family grew a full four mu.
Not only that, it is said that even the daughter-in-law's family also cultivated two mu of land.
Not to mention the Chen family's other income this year, the watermelons from the four acres of land alone can bring in more than two hundred taels.
What is that concept?
This is a number that even these people cannot earn in their entire lifetimes combined.
Thinking of this, everyone felt extremely excited.
I just hope that I can leave a good impression on Su Rongrong, and that if there is anything good in the future, she will think of them.
Tao Ya and Liu Miao, who were also hiding in the cellar, heard the noise outside.
The two of them were usually too hot to go out, but when they heard the noise, they didn't even bother to put on their hats and hurried out.
When they saw Su Rongrong waving a fan vigorously on the mule cart, they all smiled brightly.
"Rong Rong!"
Su Rongrong quickly waved to them, and then patted the shaft of the cart.
"Let's go to my house and catch up with each other!"
"Okay!"
The two men responded, then squeezed into the crowd and climbed onto the shaft of the cart nimbly.
Seeing this, the people of Sujia Village dispersed.
Those who grow watermelons at home are wondering when is the best time to pick them and how much they can be sold for.
Will they keep one for themselves to taste, or sell them all?
Those who didn’t plant any land regretted why they didn’t use it to plant in the first place.
Now, I can only watch others get rich.
Those who regretted even more were the Su family.
Originally, these watermelons and the opportunity to make a lot of money should have belonged to their Su family.
Now, all of this has nothing to do with them!
What’s worse, Su Jinhong’s future honors of passing the imperial examinations, becoming a juren or a jinshi, had nothing to do with them.
This makes them regret now as much as they were happy when they got the clan land before.
Obviously, everyone used to think that Rongrong was a beautiful and spiritual girl, and that she would have great fortune in the future.
Also, everyone knows that Su Jinhong is a good student and will be better than his father sooner or later.
But they only saw the benefits brought by the clan land, bullied them because of their young age, and offended them.
No wonder the wealthy masters in the city always say, "Don't despise the poor young people!"
Just like Su Ye back then!
Regret. At this moment, everyone in the Su family, regardless of gender, age or status, regretted deeply.
They wish time could go back. Then, they would definitely protect these siblings unconditionally.
Unfortunately, there is no medicine for regret in this world, so no matter how much they regret, it is useless.
As a person, you always have to pay for what you have done...
Su Rongrong doesn't care what those people think.
After her mule cart had gone a long way, she suddenly remembered something, so she stopped and stood on the shaft, not caring about the heat.
He shouted to the Su family members who had not yet reached their homes: "Oh, I forgot to tell you Su family members.
I had the honor of going to Lucheng with Brother Zheng before, and I found out that Su Ye was there, and he was dead!"
After saying this, she drove away.
Tao Ya, who was in the mule cart, didn't care about the heat because they were about to arrive. She walked out directly, sat next to her, and asked curiously:
"Rongrong, is Su Ye really dead?"
Could it be that Master Baili took Rongrong there specifically to find someone to kill her?
She used to think that there was no possibility between Master Baili and Rongrong.
Firstly, Rongrong looks like a child, and secondly, there is a huge gap between the identities of these two people.
But with the arrival of Baili's family and the longer she stayed in the county, it seemed more and more possible.
Rongrong's body began to grow taller and her appearance also matured, becoming more and more delicate.
Besides, the county magistrate’s wife was not the kind of person who looked down on others, and she liked Rongrong very much.
Also, Master Baili’s attitude towards Rongrong has always been consistent.
No, it's more familiar and natural than anyone else.
She felt that these two people might really be able to get together regardless of their social status.
The most important thing is that Rongrong doesn't look like a girl from the country at all.
She is literate and has a quick mind, so she can help the Baili family when they need help.
Well, it can be said that she and the Baili family seem to be complementing each other.
This alone is enough to make her equal to thousands of ladies from wealthy families.
Rongrong may not be the most beautiful, intelligent, capable, kindest, or most far-sighted girl in their Daque Dynasty.
But she must be the one who is most suitable for Master Baili!
