Follow my mother to remarry! The God of War Baili Hongzhuang is planning to marry me!
Chapter 7 The Shen family had a good harvest!
Sure enough, the next morning, when Shen Ruyi was still asleep, many soldiers came to the foot of the Shen family's mountain and began to help with the reclamation of the mountain.
With the help of soldiers to harvest the crops of Shen family, it instantly became a hot topic in the surrounding villages and county town.
The landlord's family in Chenjia Village is also the home of Shen Ruyi's scumbag father. The old head of the family, Chen Caiwang, returned home from the city today.
Three months ago, the eldest son in their family divorced his wife. To be honest, Old Man Chen Caiwang is a vicious person. He thinks that if his eldest son can marry into a wealthy family, their family will be well off!
Today the old man sat at home and had lunch like a guest. Although the food didn't taste very good, his family could use their daughter-in-law to order them around, so it was understandable that they didn't hire a maid!
The weather was a bit hot and humid. He looked at the sky in the distance and said gloomily, "I heard when I came back that our eldest daughter-in-law's... was on the hill of the Shen family. Today, soldiers helped to harvest it."
Chen Shengda's second brother, Chen Shengcong, was sitting there eating. He said unhappily, "Dad, don't say that she is your eldest son's wife anymore. My eldest sister-in-law and my eldest brother have already divorced. Isn't my eldest sister-in-law the daughter of a wealthy family in Beijing?"
Chen Shengjin, the third brother of the Chen family, was also somewhat dissatisfied and said, "Dad and Mom, I don't know what my eldest brother is thinking. What's wrong with my eldest sister-in-law? She has been at home for so many years. She has her own business. She also works hard to serve you at home and is very good to us...
"Brother, if you pass the imperial examination, you can come back and become an official. Why stay in the capital?"
The old patriarch Chen Caiwang threw down his chopsticks with a bang and said, "What do you know? Jingguaner Jingguaner, that's Jinguaner!
If your eldest brother can gain a foothold in the capital, won't our family also have to move to the capital to develop in the future?
It might rain today, and it won’t be light.
The second and third sons hurried to eat, and after dinner they went with their father to check on the big warehouse. The big warehouse was close to the mountain and needed to be blocked. If it rained and got soaked, the grain would be ruined. "
Chen Lao Er smiled and said, "That is our most precious treasure. If there is a food shortage this year, we can sell it to you!"
Old Mrs. Chen sighed and looked at the children sitting on the table on the ground. To be honest, she didn't like any of those children. She only liked little Ruyi, but the little girl had left with her mother!
Ever since little Ruyi was born, their family has had a good harvest every year, with good weather and prosperity. Fortune tellers all say that this child is destined to be rich!
The little girl is chubby and very cute. She always likes to call her grandma grandma. Now she has been away from me for three months, and I don’t know how she is doing now?
The old woman also wanted to divert attention, so she sighed and said, "Yes! If it rains hard, the price of food will go up. Boss, when the rain stops, we can sell the food, right?
After we sell it and get some money, when the boss notifies us to move to Beijing, we can take the money and go there!
I have thought it through. When we enter the capital, I will live with the eldest brother. I will take out the money in the house and buy a small house for the second and third brothers in the capital so that they can live on their own.
Chen Lao Er and Chen Lao San were instantly excited! Chen Lao Er: "Really? Mom, do you really think so?
If we enter the capital, we will separate from Big Brother, and then we can live on our own?"
Old Man Chen nodded with satisfaction and said, "Of course, your mother and I will definitely live with your eldest brother and your eldest sister-in-law.
You two should work hard. I think the price of food will go up after this heavy rain!
Let’s go and check out the granary. There are at least hundreds of thousands of kilograms of grain. When the price of rice goes up, it can be sold at twenty cents per kilogram!
That's several thousand taels! With that money, we can at least buy a house for you two when we go to the capital.
The rest of the family land will be sold, and we will go to the capital and buy some land for you two. You brothers can live well in the capital with the help of your eldest brother!"
After saying this, Mr. Chen took his two sons to the backyard, opened the door of the study, and pressed the mechanism to open the door to the cellar.
Their house was built against the back mountain, and the large granary dug underground against the back mountain was used by the Chen family’s ancestors for several lifetimes!
The reason why the Chen family is well-off is that they always have hundreds of thousands of kilograms of grain in stock, which can ensure that their family will remain rich and prosperous!
After the Chen family father and son entered the granary, they were dumbfounded! Looking at the empty cellar, the three of them began to doubt their lives. What was going on?
The old man wiped his eyes violently, then ran two laps in the empty cellar. Later he came over to question the culprit.
"You two bastards, did you sell the food secretly? Tell me!"
Chen Lao Er and Chen Lao San were both terrified. They looked at their father. Chen Lao San said weakly, "Dad, what nonsense are you talking about? How could we have sold the grain?"
Chen Lao Er: "Dad, this is not just a little bit of food, it's hundreds of thousands of kilograms of food! Besides, we don't have the key to this place. Before my eldest brother took the civil service exam, he studied in the study upstairs!
We haven't seen the grain here for a long time, how can it have anything to do with us? If you are the one who can sell the grain, only my brother and you are right?"
The old man stood there with his eyes closed, recalling carefully. It was indeed he who had not been here for a long time. Ever since his eldest son passed the imperial examination and became the top scorer, he had been very happy and had stayed in the rice shop in the city for several months.
In fact, Mr. Chen raised a little girl in his house in the city. The little girl was very young and tender. He stayed there for a long time and was reluctant to leave. He only came back because he wanted to harvest in autumn.
The rain is very heavy in Jiangnan Prefecture, and if you are not careful you might end up with nothing. However, their family has had a good harvest for several years in a row.
But that involves tens of thousands of kilograms, or even hundreds of thousands of kilograms of grain, he has no choice but to come back!
The old man looked at the two boys with suspicion in his eyes. After thinking about it, it was really possible that his eldest brother secretly sold the grain before leaving. Otherwise, where did the grain go?
The eldest brother was a cunning man. If he went to the capital to take the imperial examination, it was impossible for him to take the little money prepared for him by his wife. He might have secretly sold the grain and took the several thousand taels of silver to the capital.
The old man looked dissatisfied and said, "I will write to your eldest brother later to ask if it was your eldest brother who sold the grain. If so, he will divide the money between you two brothers in the future!
Our family has already agreed to support your eldest brother to take the imperial examination. He has spent a lot of money over the years, so he definitely has no share of the family's grain. You two brothers will each get half, but he has a share of the family's land."
The two brothers were both depressed, looking at the empty cellar, feeling very uncomfortable. Their eldest brother had wasted so much money studying at home for so many years? He even sold the grain before leaving. How rude!
The three members of the family, father and son, were unhappy because the grain had been sold, especially the two young daughters-in-law of the Chen family, who quarreled fiercely at home.
The old woman in the Chen family was also unhappy. She knew that her eldest son had gone too far. It was okay for him to take the imperial examination, but could he really sell the grain secretly?
But the grain was at home, so when did he sell it? The old woman had a headache because of this matter and lay in bed unable to get up.
The old man couldn't muster up any energy when he saw the old woman like this. He got on the donkey dejectedly and went back to the grain shop in the town!
On the third day, the sky began to overcast. Seeing the bad weather, many people rushed to the fields, ready to harvest the crops. However, the rice was not ripe at all!
But all the grain on Shenjia Mountain has been harvested and piled up in the barn. The top of the barn is covered with oilcloth. The Shen family has a good harvest this year, and there are more than ten thousand kilograms of grain, which makes Shen's eyes smile with joy!
Wei Zhendong saw that it was indeed going to rain today, so he came to Shen's yard and asked, "Madam Shen, it's going to rain, is it okay to leave the grain piled up?"
Shen ran out in a panic and looked at the sky. Shen Ruyi also ran out and rushed over to hug Wei Zhendong's thighs, "Uncle, it's going to rain. We have plenty of oilcloth at home. Just cover the grain ears with a few more layers!"
Wei Zhendong held the child and followed Shen to find oilcloth. Soon many soldiers came to help and packed up all the food of the Shen family!
Shen was kind-hearted and gave all the extra oilcloth in her home to Wei Zhendong, asking him to use it to build rainproof tents for his men and horses!
Wei Zhendong smiled instantly when he saw the beautiful and kind-hearted Shen family mother and daughter...
