Chapter 15 The trouble is coming
Su Chunlin was said to be unable to refute.
Shen Yi stepped forward and advised, "Auntie, my uncle also wants to earn more money to buy food. Don't blame him."
Su Tai asked: "Did you buy these with the money you earned from digging wells?"
Shen Yi nodded, "The price of food has increased again. A pound of wheat is thirty-five cents. Seeing that the autumn harvest is coming soon, this year is more difficult than last year. After winter, it may rise to sixty or seventy cents. Who can afford it?" ? It’s a little bit if you can save a little now.”
Su Tai didn't expect the situation to be so serious. While they were talking, Han had already taken the food into the house and locked it up.
She could only focus on Shen Yi's bag of grain.
Seeing that she was hesitant to speak, Shen Yi was so sincere that he waited until no one was around before asking: "What do you want to say?"
Su Tai smiled sheepishly at him and asked, "Can I borrow some food from you?"
Afraid that Shen Yi would not agree, she immediately promised: "Don't worry, I will pay you back twice as much."
A trace of confusion flashed in Shen Yi's eyes. Seeing that Su Tai was not going to say anything, he nodded slightly and said, "How much do you want?"
The bag of grain that Shen Yi brought back was almost ten kilograms. She wanted it all, but was too embarrassed to ask.
Seeing her like that, Shen Yi simply gave the whole bag to her and said, "I have been outside during this period, and I still have food stored at home. I will give these to you first."
Su Tai looked up in surprise, only to find that Shen Yi had changed his gaze and stood up to leave.
She quickly held the bag of grain in her arms and whispered to him: "I will pay you back as soon as possible, but it will take a few months. Also, I want to ask how to grow wheat?"
Shen Yi: "."
Shen Yi spent a lot of time talking to let Su Tai understand the theoretical knowledge. He probably guessed the purpose of Su Tai borrowing grain. He reminded: "It is not the season for sowing. Wheat will not be harvested if it is sown, and there is not enough irrigation water." , even if you plant it, it will be in vain.”
"I know, Brother Shen, don't worry, I won't mess around." Su Tai responded seriously.
Seeing this, Shen Yi could only choose to believe her.
After Su Tai returned to the house with the seeds, she immediately went to the Gate of Time and Space Transfer Station and spent one virtual coin to buy a large shallow media tray. Then she took some water from Water Time and Space and soaked the wheat. This process can screen and accelerate the seeds. Germinate, wait for the seeds to germinate and then transfer them to the ground in the soil. The environmental conditions here are the best in all aspects. You don’t have to worry about soil moisture, pests and other issues. The land will adjust itself according to the plants of the seeds to ensure that the plants grow vigorously.
But one thing is that she has to do all the work herself. The vending machine does provide an auxiliary planting animal called a gopher. Two gophers must be hired to work on one acre of land. Hiring a gopher costs one thousand virtual dollars a year. Coins, currently even if I sell her, I can’t get so many virtual coins, I can only covet them.
Two days have passed since Su Tai planted all the wheat seeds.
Su Chunlin had experienced the incident in Panlong Township and had a long memory. He did not dare to take the job of digging wells anymore and would find excuses to shirk anyone who came. Shen Yi was invited to help by the town official Liu Tiechui and was no longer in Dongmen Village.
Su Tai didn't go out for two days and wanted to go to the village to see the situation. As soon as she reached the yard, she saw Han rushing back in a hurry, shouting: "Quick! Take the broom and stick at home and go to the well. The horseman in the town has received a thousand cuts." There’s trouble coming from outside!”
"Outside the horseman?" Su Tai looked surprised. There was no such person in the memory of the original owner.
Han ignored the explanation and said while taking the things: "He is our big landowner in Moshi Town, who is famous for his iron rooster."
"Why did he come to our village to cause trouble?" Su Tai didn't understand.
Ms. Han urged her to run out, "Ma Yuanwai has several wells in his hands. He has been selling water in ten miles and eight villages for a long time. Originally, his family was the only one. Unexpectedly, our village dug its own wells and dug two. We have two buckets. Water sells for one penny, and a bucket of water outside Ma Yuan costs two pence. People who know the situation would rather go further to our village to buy water than buy his water. He must not be in a hurry. "
When Su Tai heard this, she was inexplicably worried. Since ancient times, she had not fought with officials. Although Ma Yuanwai was not an official, he had a big business and he could not afford to offend the local snake here.
"Mom, do you really want to fight him?" Han nodded firmly, "Jing belongs to our village originally, and he has no reason to cause trouble. If we don't fight, anyone can step on our Dongmen Village in the future."
While talking, mother and daughter arrived at the well.
The horsemen only brought six people over, but they had an arrogant attitude. They blocked those who were queuing up to buy water and warned loudly, "If you dare to buy water from Dongmen Village, let me know. Don't even think about renting my land in the future. We The Ma family won’t accept your food either!”
Most of the people in line were from Ximen Village.
When Xiong Kai heard this, he lost his composure and said, "Outside Ma Yuan, it's the mayor's wish that we come to Dongmen Village to buy water. If you don't agree, you have to tell the mayor."
Su Tai followed the sound and looked over, finally seeing Xiong Kai's true face.
Han was a little worried on the side, "How about you go back?"
She was afraid that her daughter would feel uncomfortable when she saw the bear.
Su Tai shook her head, "Why are you going back? Mom, this Xiong Kai looks much worse than Brother Shen. He doesn't look like a good person."
Seeing that she could still comment on the bear, Mrs. Han lost all her worries and stood silently watching.
Ma Yuanwai didn't expect anyone to dare to bargain with him, so he glared at him in displeasure, "What's your name?"
Xiong Kai was not that stupid. He immediately changed the subject and said to other villagers in Ximen Village: "Do you think what I said is right?"
"That's right! Why should we spend money to buy your water? We might as well pay for the well ourselves!"
"You can make such shady money without fear of retribution!" an old woman cursed fiercely.
If there is one, there will be two, and soon everyone in Ximen Village began to attack Ma Yuanwai.
Su Changfu had been arriving for a while. After seeing that the situation was almost over, he pushed aside the crowd and stepped forward: "Ma Rencai, this is Qingsha Township, not Moshi Town. When will it be your turn to dictate matters in our township?"
Others were afraid of horsemen, but he was not afraid.
When Ma Rencai saw Su Changfu, he immediately changed his face, "Hey! Chief Su! You came here really fast! What? My son-in-law has finished talking to you?"
Ma Rencai's son-in-law is Liu Tiechui, the town official of Moshi Town. He also wanted to warn Su Changfu by saying this.
Su Changfu smiled and nodded without any trace of panic, "The discussion is indeed over. It has nothing to do with you. If you don't want to buy water, please leave. Don't delay everyone's work."
Ma Rencai gritted his teeth in anger and smiled, "Su Changfu! You really have the guts! You are just a little township leader but you really treat yourself like a dish! I want to see how arrogant you can be!"
The horsemen returned without success, and their faces turned dark as they left.
The villagers looked at each other, waiting for Su Changfu to express his position.
He waved his hand impatiently, "Why are you still standing there?"
Everyone woke up from a dream, those who should queue up queued up, and those who should carry water carried water.
