Chapter 27 Autumn Harvest
Zhao Miaomiao lowered her head and took a sip of corn paste, listening to her husband talking about the uproar in the village last night and this morning.

Wu You's family is likely to be abolished. Widow Wu wants the Gao family's five acres of land as compensation. The Gao family will naturally not agree to insist that Wu You's family takes advantage of others. They deserve to be abolished. They cry out that it was Widow Wu who harmed Gao. Uncle's business.

The Gao and Wu clans were about to fight. Village chief Chen came out to make the decision. The Gao family compensated the Wu family for three acres of land. Widow Wu and Widow Gao both agreed.

But the second and third elders of Gao did not agree, saying that this matter was caused by Gao Da’s daughter-in-law, and he wanted to separate the family and let Gao Gao pay for it himself. It was so troublesome that he wanted to divorce Gao's daughter-in-law. If she divorced, it has nothing to do with the Gao family.

Then Gao Da's daughter-in-law crashed into the wall and sought death. Fortunately, the doctor rescued her. Village Chief Chen couldn't help but force her to death and scolded the Gao family and the Wu family.

He said that Gao Da's daughter-in-law had worked hard to give birth to children for the Gao family, and the Gao family could not divorce her heartlessly. He also said that Wu You's family had bullied others first. That was an accident, and Widow Wu had to stop it.

In the end, the decision was made that the Gao family should compensate the Wu family for ten taels of silver.

Widow Wu didn't want to but looked at the person lying on the bed, fearing that she would really drive him to death, and she wouldn't be able to get any compensation from her family.

Twelve taels of silver can buy three acres of land, but you can't just buy the land if you want to. The Gao family also agreed, but you have to remember that the money will be counted on Gao's boss for future family divisions.

Zhao Miaomiao sighed after hearing this.

In this result, Uncle Gao may be the reason why Widow Wu was harmed!Otherwise, if Gao Da's daughter-in-law ruined Wu You's family, Gao's family would probably not be able to protect her. After all, ten taels of silver could sell a daughter-in-law!

Chen Shouxing glanced at his two sons playing on the ground and said, "Dad said during breakfast this morning that our family will start harvesting corn in the field tomorrow."

Zhao Miaomiao nodded and said, "Then I'll get you the money later, and you go to the town to buy a few catties of meat."

Chen Shouxing shook his head and said, "I asked my mother to borrow some money, and asked someone to buy us three catties of pork by the way."

Zhao Miaomiao raised her face, stared round her eyes in disbelief and said, "Mother is willing to give you money to buy meat? What are you..."

You know, my mother-in-law often scolded my husband for spending money recklessly, and she even twisted her ears and yelled!As for why she only caught her husband and scolded her, of course it was because she was usually busy and couldn't go out. It was her husband who could buy meat.

Chen Shouxing winked at her and said, "Guess."

Zhao Miaomiao raised her eyes and said, "My husband said."

Seeing her uncooperative expression, Chen Shouxing leaned into her ear and said, "I told mother..."

"Asshole!" Zhao Miaomiao's ears turned red, she stared and bit her head, and stretched out her hand to hit him.

Chen Shouxing held her down and smiled, "Just kidding, I told my mother that if I don't want to borrow it, I will borrow it from others. It seems that three catties are not enough to eat, so I have to buy five catties."

When Zhao Miaomiao heard this, she gloated and smiled, "Goose goose... Mother is going to beat you up!"

Chen Shouxing coughed in embarrassment, stretched out his hand to pinch her bulging cheeks and said, "I don't want you to sleep more for my wife."

Zhao Miaomiao snorted and turned her head away, bit Wowotou hard and muttered, "If it wasn't for you...I could get up late!"

Chen Shouxing curled his lips and smiled.

Early the next morning, the Chen family went to the fields to harvest corn. The men quickly harvested the corn stalks with sickles, and the women and children broke off the corn cobs.

There is only one adult left in the family, Zhao Miaomiao, and Ruirui Goudan, a few younger ones.

The Chen family has 23 mu of grain fields and [-] mu of land leased to the landlord's family.

The lease was divided into [-]% and [-]%, with seeds, fertilizers, manure, and cattle tools all paid by the landlord. The Chen family only contributed manpower and received [-]% of the grain.

Three crops in two years, millet planted in February, harvested in July, winter wheat planted in September, harvested in April of the following year, corn or soybeans planted in May, harvested in September, and the weather is good. After two years, one mu of grain field can harvest one wheat Two stones of millet, one stone of corn.

The Chen family did not have cattle, and for every acre of land they cultivated, they had to pay a bucket of grain as cattle rent.

Zhao Miaomiao counted on her fingers, and if the food harvested by the family was replaced with coarse grains, it would probably be just enough.

Seeing that the pimple soup in the iron pot was boiling, she reached out and put out the fire on the stove.

Zhao Miaomiao picked up the lunch box and went out, shouting to her children, "Ruirui, you guys stay at home and don't go out. I'll go to the fields for a meeting and then come back."

Ruirui nodded, and scooped up a small spoonful of meat porridge for Xiaopangdun.

Goudan and the other little guys were holding the noodles and eating happily, without even raising their heads to respond.

"Understood, little aunt!"

Zhao Miaomiao glanced at it, closed the courtyard door, locked it, and left.
