"This is easy. Didn't you see me do it this morning? I'll explain the process to you and you'll get it. It's very simple..."

Pan passed on the steps of making egg pancakes to Yang Xiuxiu bit by bit.

There is someone who will try hard to remember your preferences. At this moment, Lin Ting is happy.

"Lin Ting, my brother-in-law wants to go see Ningjiang Manor later. Do you want to come with him and see how your corn is growing?"

Several people looked at Lin Ting. They had been busy recently and Lin Ting hadn't been to the farm for a long time.

"Go ahead, and take our carriage with you later."

Yang Yongnian doesn't like to laugh, but he is really good to Yang Xiuxiu.

"I'll go take a look this morning. The child's mother and I should go back this afternoon. Only my cousin Qingzhou and his family are taking care of Mom at home. If we go back, they will be less tired."

It's been so long since we last met. Yang Xiuxiu wanted to keep her brother for two more days, but thinking of her mother, she had no choice.

"Brother, can't you stay for two more days?"

Yang Yongnian: "Next time!"

After breakfast, Lin Ting drove the carriage and took Yang Xiuxiu, Shen Dali, and his uncle and his wife to Ningjiang Manor.

Shen Qingzhou had difficulty walking, so he stayed at home to review his lessons with Shen Wanyi.

It didn't take long for the carriage to arrive at Ningjiang Village. The first thing Lin Ting saw was the thirty acres of corn fields.

The corn stalks were already very tall. Part of them had been cleared of weeds, but Shen Dali had not had time to deal with the other part.

"Brother, this whole area is our Ningjiang Manor. The large area in front is planted with one hundred acres of mung beans.

This plant over here is the corn that Lin Ting wants to plant. This is the first time I've seen it too."

Yang Yongnian looked at the corn field. The leaves were long and looked like grass for cows to eat.

"What can be grown from this thing?"

Yang Yongnian turned to Lin Ting and asked, he finally saw that his sister was going to live a good life, but he couldn't let his family waste the land and not have food to eat.

"This is also a kind of food and can be eaten."

He had never seen it before, but when he heard it was food, he felt relieved as long as it was edible.

Ningjiang Manor is so big that it takes half an hour to walk around it, not to mention that several people have to look at the crops in the fields while walking.

Yang Yongnian had heard Shen Dali explain to him why Ningjiang Village did not grow rice. He could understand, but he was very puzzled why Shen Dali and his team grew one hundred acres of mung beans.

"You grow so many mung beans, they're hard to sell."

The price of mung beans is indeed not high.

"I'm not selling these mung beans. I have other uses for them."

After hearing Lin Ting say this, he stopped asking. Lin Ting was capable. If he gave so many mung beans to Shen Dali.

If you don’t finish eating it, it will get worms.

As for the rest, he took a quick look and thought that such a big farm, if they planted rice next year, would sell for a lot of money, which would definitely be enough to support his nephew's studies and a career in politics.

My sister has suffered for most of her life, and now she can finally live a good life.

……

In Wushan Village, the villagers at home were chattering. Shen Qingzhou thought something big had happened, so he walked out to take a look.

It turned out to be the Lu family's betrothal team, which included a matchmaker, many people carrying rice, and some gift boxes.

The matchmaker had a big red flower on her head and held a big red handkerchief in her hand. She asked the villagers with a smile how to get to Shen Jizu's house.

After the villagers pointed out the way, they also learned from the matchmaker that this was someone from the Lu family, and they were here today to propose marriage to Shen Rou.

"This Lu Cailiang is quite quick to act. He actually married Shen Rou after saying he would, and came to propose marriage so quickly. Maybe he really wants to marry a wife, and he's not the gay man he's been rumored to be."

"Who knows? I heard the Lu family has a lot of land. I don't know what kind of luck Shen Rou has gotten."

Some people in the village envy her, while others are jealous. They wonder why Shen Rou can marry so well.

Everyone had heard yesterday's gossip, and today they followed the betrothal procession all the way to Shen Jizu's house.

Shen Jizu studied at home and usually didn't go anywhere. Xu didn't do any other work except cooking.

The whole family was at home. When Shen's mother saw so many people entering the Shen family's mud courtyard, she immediately came out of the house.

I saw that the middle of the yard was filled with things, baskets of golden rice, cloth, and some things in boxes.

Seeing this, her inverted triangle eyes instantly widened. For their rural area, no family would offer such a heavy betrothal gift to marry a girl.

The rice alone must be seven or eight stones, right?

"Mrs. Shen, Mr. Shen is from the Lu family in Wenzhu County. They've come to propose to Mr. Lu, your granddaughter Shen Rou. Congratulations."

The matchmaker's voice was very penetrating, and her voice and laughter were clearly heard by the people outside who were watching the fun.

In the main house, Shen Rou knelt anxiously in front of Shen Jizu and Xu and cried.

"Dad, Mom, I don't want to marry Lu Cailiang. I told you yesterday what kind of person he is. Even if his family is a landlord, marrying him will be no different from being a widow."

When she came back yesterday, Shen Rou told Shen Jizu and Xu about Lu Cailiang's deeds. They also felt that Lu Cailiang was not the right man for Shen Rou.

But then they thought of the Lu family, which was wealthy and powerful. If Shen Rou married into the family, she would have a life of luxury, so they were both tempted.

"Rou'er, get up first. I'll go see what's going on."

When Shen Jizu went out and took a look, he was also surprised by the betrothal gifts in the yard.

Although he was a scholar, he had never seen any good things and did not know that a wealthy family would not use rice as a betrothal gift.

Only those who have a small property and have nothing else to offer at home would use rice as a betrothal gift.

But food is the most important thing for people. At this time when no one can afford to eat, so much rice really makes Shen Jizu very tempted.

"Master Shen, congratulations! Master Lu is so fond of your daughter that he specially asked us to come and propose marriage. The Lu family is also very sincere."

When Shen Jizu saw the cloth, calligraphy and paintings, and the sixty taels of silver, he couldn't stop smiling.

The Lu family is indeed rich, and they are not called Landlord Lu for nothing. It would be a blessing for Shen Rou to marry into such a family.

Originally, Shen Jizu didn't take Lu Cailiang's words yesterday too seriously, thinking that as a rich young man, he would not really come to marry Shen Rou, but he didn't expect that he would keep his word.

"Look, Master Shen, there are all these cloths, silks, and satins, as well as this silver. This is just the betrothal money.

Master Lu is an only son. When your daughter marries him, she will be his legal wife, and everything in the Lu family will belong to him from now on.

It will also belong to your daughter in the future. Just think about the huge assets of the Lu family. The fields alone are enough for you to enjoy a good life."

Shen Rou was in the main house and did not hear Shen Jizu's answer. All she heard was the matchmaker praising Lu Cailiang.

She couldn't sit still any longer. She didn't want to marry that homosexual Lu Cailiang.
