After the separation, the family had a lot of fish and meat every day, and the best was furious

After Lin Ting left, another interesting thing happened in the Shen family compound.

Shen Zhuang and Shen Cong handed all the silver to Liu Shiying, and Shen Jizu, who had been absent all the time, also came out from the main house.

He stood up straight and acted like a gentleman.

"Second brother, a harmonious family brings prosperity. I'm already preparing for next year's Autumn Examination. Do you also want to be like third brother, with a broken family and no longer wanting to share the glory and wealth with me?

We are brothers, and you are my most valued younger brother. Are you willing to be mediocre for the rest of your life?

Second brother, as the eldest brother, I bow my head first. Let's live a good life together and support each other. From now on, if I have a bite to eat, you will definitely be indispensable."

Brother Shen Zu looked at Liu Shiying. Shen Jizu had said these words so many times, whether in the past or now.

More than 20 years passed before he finally came to terms with it and decided to let it go.

"Brother, since we have already divided the family, I don't ask for anything. I just want to earn more money to marry my two sons. I don't have the mood to care about other things."

Liu Shiying sneered. Shen Jizu didn't mention this matter earlier or later, but he brought it up now. Wasn't it because he saw Lin Ting paying their family wages?

In addition, the rice fields of their family and their aunt were not weeded or managed, and the weeds were almost as tall as the rice grains.

It would be foolish to reconcile with them and live with them again.

Not only did she have to cook for their family, but the money would also be taken away by Shen's mother, and she and her two sons had to do the work in the fields.

They didn't care when Yang Xiuxiu and Shen Dali did it before, but now they won't do it if they can't get any benefits.

Even if Shen Jizu passed the imperial examination, he might not be able to become an official, and even if he became an official, he might not have money, and even if he had money, he might not help them.

Shen Zhuxiong and Liu Shiying are not going to take advantage of this fake pie.

"Shen Jizu, now that we have food and drink, we should enjoy it while we can. Who knows what will happen in the future?"

"you……"

Shen Jizu moved, raised his arm and pointed at Shen Zhuxiong and Liu Shiying with an ugly look on his face.

"You guys...ah...are so short-sighted, so short-sighted..."

Mother Shen also looked at Shen Zuxiong's family with a look as if they were fools.

"You two have hooked up with Lin Ting. Sooner or later, he will harm your two sons."

Liu Shiying covered the silver on his chest, protecting it well so that it would not harm anyone.

"Aunt, if you support my eldest brother, Shen Zuxiong and I have no objection, but I will live our own life, so please don't interfere.

That's all, everyone lives their own life, I think that's fine."

Shen Jizu and his mother felt like they were being held captive by something. After being beaten by Lin Ting, they did not dare to report to the police.

I also have to ask others to help me buy medicine, and now I don’t have any money at all.

If it weren't for the fact that Brother Shen Zu had more than one or two taels of silver in his hand, he wouldn't have bothered to say this. He really doesn't know what's good for him.

"Stupid... so stupid! All other pursuits are inferior except for studying. I will only say this once. One day, you will surely regret it."

After saying this, Shen Jizu was so angry that he threw his sleeves and went back to the house.

He was a scholar and it was impossible for him to work in the fields. As for Xu, she and Shen Rou were beaten so badly that they couldn't get out of bed yet, so naturally they couldn't work either.

Shen's mother is old, and it is not easy for her to cook for him, and none of his brothers can help him.

When he succeeds in his official career, he will never pay attention to these short-sighted people in the Shen family who try to lower his status.

Shen's mother also felt that Shen Zuxiong had been led stupidly by Liu Shiying, and did not know that only by following Shen Jizu could he have a good life in the future.

Her stepfather was the best and smartest son in the world, and everyone else was as stupid as pigs.

……

When Lin Ting returned home, Shen Qingzhou was still awake. He was sitting under the oil lamp, still writing an article.

"Why don't you rest? You finally have a day off, go to bed early."

After hearing this, Lin started to count the money he had paid out that day.

"You should clean up and go to bed first. You've been tired all day."

Shen Qingzhou looked at Lin Ting's busy figure. He had missed too many lessons over the years, so he had to force others to work harder to catch up.

Lin Ting: "I'll go to bed after I finish my accounts."

It is Lin Ting’s habit to finish today’s work today. If she doesn’t finish it, she will feel uncomfortable and unable to sleep.

Get out a pen and paper and start calculating.

Today we are paying wages to the villagers, including the village chief, a total of thirty-one people, at nine hundred coins per person, which makes twenty-seven thousand nine hundred and thirty coins, or twenty-seven taels and nine hundred coins in total.

There were twenty skilled workers, and each was paid 1,500 coins, which amounted to 30 taels of silver.

For the cooks, each person earns 300 wen a month, so for three people that’s 900 wen.

He gave Master Wu twenty taels as an initial settlement, five taels to Yang Xiuxiu and the others, and one tael and three hundred and thirty coins to Shen Zhuang and Shen Cong, totaling eighty-five taels and sixteen coins.

Including a month's food, it would cost almost fifteen taels of silver.

And he still had more than two hundred taels of silver in his hand, which was enough.

After Lin Ting finished packing, Yang Xiuxiu and Shen Dali brought Shen Wanyi back.

It's been a long time since we last met. Shen Wanyi insisted on sleeping with Yang Xiuxiu tonight. She had been with Yang Xiuxiu since she was a child, and she couldn't live without her in her heart.

Lin Ting was also happy and relaxed. He washed up and went to bed.

Shen Qingzhou had already finished writing the article, but Lin Ting was still doing the accounts, so he stayed quiet and didn't disturb her.

Seeing Lin Ting sleeping alone, he tactfully walked to his bed, opened the quilt and lay down.

After the lights were turned off, the whole room was dark. In the silent air, Lin Ting suddenly spoke.

"Shen Qingzhou, are you asleep?"

Shen Qingzhou opened his eyes from the darkness, turned around, and spoke in a low and magnetic voice.

"not yet!"

Lin Ting hadn't gone to bed yet. She was very tired, but after lying down she couldn't fall asleep. She kept thinking about the farm she had bought.

All the crops on the farm have been burned. It’s early August now and the weather is hot. What should we plant?

She has also been using her memories to consider the climate of Wushan Village. The changes in this area throughout the year are a bit like the Jiangnan region of China in her previous life.

Anyway, as far as I can remember, the winter here gets cold very late every year, so it should be no problem to plant crops for two seasons.

"Shen Qingzhou, I haven't told my parents-in-law about buying the manor, but there should be nothing left in that manor.

You said that in such a large farm, besides rice, what else can be grown at this time?"

Two hundred acres! Lin Ting not only needs to grow crops, but also needs to sell them. Otherwise, just growing them and keeping them at home is not a good idea.

Food will go bad, and she needs to hire people to farm, so she certainly can't do business at a loss. So it's not just a matter of planting, she also has to think about what to plant?
