Chapter 195 The Abandoned Child
Only then did Mr. Niu realize what he was doing, and he burst into tears again, scolding Mo Chunxiang several times, and had to accept the reality.
On the Shen family's side.
Shen Yi fulfilled his previous promise to the villagers, went into the mountains to set traps, brought back a wild boar, some pheasants and hares, and set up a flowing banquet in front of his house, inviting the villagers to come over and have a good meal.
Spring plowing was about to begin. Everyone thought this was a good sign and became more and more satisfied with Shen Yi. Before, some people were taboo about his identity as a person crossing the river, but now no one mentioned it.
Su Chunlin's family helped entertain the villagers, and after they were done, they discussed the arrangements for spring plowing.
After Su Tai found out, she asked Shen Yi to call her parents into the room to talk.
"Mom and Dad, our family has a lot of land. I'm afraid we won't be able to get a good price if we grow food this year. Besides, we don't have the means to sell food. It just so happens that Shen Yi can get some fruit seedlings. You can plant some fruits this year." , What we don’t have here can definitely be sold for money.”
Su Chunlin's eyes lit up instantly, "Good girl, what kind of fruit are you talking about? The kind from the mountains?"
Mrs. Han kicked him, "What nonsense are you talking about! What kind of wild fruit girl is there in the mountains? Why are you telling us this!"
Su Tai liked to see the two of them bickering, and the corners of her mouth turned up unconsciously, "They are not fruits from the mountains, but fruits called watermelon and strawberry. These two fruits can be grown in places like Longxia Kingdom when summer first comes." The harvest here is late, but we can sell it in time for the hottest time. The melons are large, sweet, and juicy. They are very delicious, and they are definitely the first we have here.
At that time, you can ask the uncles in Fucheng. If they want to do this business, they can also buy goods from us and sell them. Or ask Shen Yi to take some people to Fucheng, and he will definitely earn more than growing food.
However, strawberries are not easy to transport over long distances and are only suitable for trading in our Zhaohua County. However, they can be made into snacks or jams, which I believe some restaurants and inns will like. "
Su Chunlin and the other four couldn't imagine what that fruit would be like, and they were looking forward to it.
"Good girl, just say how much you want to plant. Dad believes you. Even if you really don't make any money, I will admit it!" Han clenched his fists fiercely.
Su Chunlin was very surprised, "My dear, when did you become so impulsive?"
Mrs. Han rolled her eyes at him and said angrily: "Think about why our family can make money? It's not all because of our son-in-law! If you follow them, you will definitely succeed. Even if you don't succeed, it doesn't matter. At most, we will lose a little. Anyway, we I can afford the gamble.”
The Su family has accumulated thousands of taels of property in the past few years. Even if the whole family doesn't work for more than ten years, they will still starve to death. It only takes one year to take risks, which is nothing.
Seeing that his daughter-in-law said this, Su Chunlin gritted his teeth and slapped his thigh, "Okay! Then I'll listen to you and plant fruits."
As he spoke, he looked at his two sons and said, "As agreed before, each of you will get half of the sixty acres of wasteland, and you have the final say on what to plant."
Su Zhan and Su Ming all looked at Su Tai, "Sister, you can plant whatever you want."
Su Tai: "."
Since she, a married woman, can still be the head of her natal family, she is really grateful to these two living ancestors.
She was helpless and said, "If I had to decide, I would plant ten acres of grain, ten acres of watermelon, four acres of strawberries, and six acres of peanuts."
"Sure! That's how I arranged it." Su Ming decided without even thinking.
Su Zhan also nodded.
Now that her parents' family has decided, Su Tai has to help them arrange the fruit seedlings immediately. The watermelon seedlings sold at the Mu Shikong Fruit Seedling Store cost one virtual coin, and two strawberry seedlings cost one virtual coin. One acre of land requires at least 800 watermelon seedlings. Six thousand strawberry seedlings.
Just buying fruit seedlings for my parents’ family cost me 32,000 virtual coins.
There are also fruit seedlings that their family needs, as well as some people who are inspired by the news and want to grow fruits with them. Some people were brave and wanted to take a chance and bought a lot of fruit seedlings, while some were more cautious and planted only one or two acres. Su Tai spent another hundred thousand virtual coins to buy fruit seedlings.
There are so many fruit seedlings that we have to wait for the boss to arrange the goods.
It just so happens that we haven't plowed the ground yet, so it will take about ten days to actually plant the seeds, so there's no rush.
It's just that Su Chunlin and the others have to rush back.
After knowing the county government's verdict, Mrs. Han felt much more at ease. Seeing that there was no shortage of people to take care of her daughter, she followed Su Chunlin back.
Spring plowing began, and even though Shen Yi was so busy that he didn't dare to leave Su Tai and the child alone at home anymore, he spent money to do things that could be solved with money.
When the child was one month old, which was the busiest time for spring plowing, the couple did not make any big fuss. They only sent some bread and cakes to every household in the village as wedding cakes, and then decided on the child's name.
However, Mrs. Xu and the others took time to come over in the evening after finishing their farm work. This family gave them some red eggs, and that family gave them a piece of red stuff. The things were not expensive, but they were all thoughtful.
Su Tai happily accepted it.
After finally taking a nice hot bath, I could finally walk out of the room.
The newly named Shen Congrong seemed to feel her mother's joy, lying in the cradle in the yard and dancing happily.
It made Su Tai laugh.
Shen Yuezhang kept looking around his brother curiously. Sometimes he said that his brother was young, and sometimes he asked Su Tai to play with her.
It actually added a lot of laughter to the quiet courtyard.
Shen Yi climbed the ladder and sat on the wall to install the iron thorn balls. He glanced down from time to time, with a satisfied smile on his face.
But he didn't know that not far away there was a woman with disheveled hair holding her child and staring at him. There was regret and unwillingness in her eyes, but more importantly, jealousy and resentment.
She glanced at the child in her arms and said with an expressionless face, "If you want to blame me, I blame you for being a girl, and for not being able to support me in giving birth to a good time. I really can't support you, and I don't want to support you. If nothing happened to your father, you would still be able to do it." Stay at home. Now I can only throw you away. Everything depends on your fate. If you lose your life, don't come to me. It's all caused by those two people from the Shen family. Go find them. !”
After Mo Chunxiang said that, she put the child on the ground, turned around and left without looking back.
At this time, everyone in the village was in the fields, and no one noticed that a child had been thrown into the village. It was not until the child was so hungry that he cried loudly that the elderly people nearby were summoned.
"Hey! Who is so wicked!" The old lady was so shocked that she ran over and picked up the child.
As soon as Su Tai went out with her child to watch the villagers working, she heard Huang Xinghua and the others muttering about something.
She stepped forward curiously and asked.
Huang Xinghua immediately told what happened, "Shen Laizi's mother in the village picked up a female doll near their house this morning. It seems to be less than six months old. Everyone went over to watch the fun."
"Cripple Shen?" Su Tai racked her brains and couldn't figure out which one it was.
Seeing her like that, Huang Xinghua reminded her kindly: "It's the house closest to your house."
