Make a lot of money!I got rich in the year of famine

Chapter 61

The basket was also carried away, and the two pieces of bacon were no exception.

Shen Qing was speechless in surprise, Shen Hui came over to pull her, and teased with a smile: "You still lack the two pieces of bacon she brought!"

"There is no shortage, but I have never seen anyone give a gift and then take it back."

"Okay, let's go! There's still a lot of work in the fields!"

The two sisters went to the field carrying the farm tools.

After leaving the courtyard gate, I saw a figure already in the vegetable field, it was Uncle Huo.

Seeing them coming, the old man lifted the brim of his straw hat and greeted them with a smile.

Shen Qing smiled and said: "Grandpa Huo, this early in the morning, you don't sleep much, there is work in the field, but there is not much, the three of us can finish it in half a day."

Shen Hui has already squatted down, using a shovel to clean up the weeds among the vegetable seedlings.

Shen Qing used a hoe to clean up the overgrown weeds in the vegetable ditches.

It is close to the mountains and the climate is humid. If you don’t weed for a few days, you won’t be able to find the vegetable seedlings. If you are lazy, the weeds will crowd the vegetable seedlings to death. There is no herbicide in these years. Even if you prepare it, the price will be high. It's too high, you have to be more diligent.

Uncle Huo bent down, threw the hoeed grass to the ground, then took it outside to dry and burn in the open space. Hearing this, he said with a smile: "I am old and sleep less. Where did Huo Lin go early in the morning? I didn’t see it when I woke up.”

He had limited energy, and Huo Lin came back late yesterday, so he didn't bother to say anything.

Shen Qingdao: "We made some tea yesterday and asked him to send it to the White Horse Temple early in the morning. There will be lectures in the temple in the past two days, so we can't leave empty-handed."

"Then how many pounds did you give away this time?"

"Three catties! There are not many new teas left, and the more old teas will be picked, the price will naturally be lower."

Old Uncle Huo didn't ask this again, anyway, Shen Qing would give them a share of the silver they got for the tea leaves, no matter how they counted, they would have taken advantage of it, so he got busy whenever he was free, and he couldn't just sit idle and wait for dinner.

After a while, Mr. Huo asked Granny Zou why she came here. It was just a small talk.

After hearing Shen Qing's words, Old Man Huo was a little worried, "Oh! I'm afraid this matter is not over yet!"

Shen Hui was puzzled, "I told the truth, not a lie. She picked the tea and went back home. How could she not finish it?"

Old Uncle Huo said: "You don't know her, she is the most difficult person. If other chickens eat a few small vegetable seedlings from her house, she has to ask you to get them back. She can't take any losses. It's okay if she finds them." , if I don’t find it, I will definitely come back and blame you.”

Old Man Huo was right, but not entirely right.

In the evening, Shen Hui was cooking dinner at home, and Shen Qing was sitting in the courtyard again, taking stock, and thinking about how to do business later.

Xiao Huang squatted at her feet and slept, Huo Lin was busy in the pig pen, and Old Man Huo fetched water and took a bath in the yard.

Everything is so harmonious except...

"Boom!" The two small courtyard doors of Shen's house were knocked open, and three people rushed in, four to be precise, and one of them was carried on his back. It was Grandma Zou, her feet were wrapped like rice dumplings Yes, it seems to be a sprained leg.

Shen Qing saw it and slowly put down the pen. She already had a rough idea in her mind. It was not like she had never seen such a thing in her previous life.

"Grandma Zou, what's wrong with you?"

Among the three people who came, there were two middle-aged men and women, and a young man. It was Granny Zou who he was carrying just now.

He put Granny Zou on a small chair and stepped aside.

Shen Hui heard the noise and ran out holding a spatula, "What's going on? What's going on?"

Seeing her asking, the middle-aged woman immediately took a step forward, and shouted bluntly: "You still have the nerve to ask what's wrong, didn't you see? My mother-in-law broke her leg, and she will be a useless person from now on. What do you think?" Bar!"

Granny Zou covered her face with her palms, made a pained look, and hummed softly, as if she was really suffering.

Shen Hui looked blank, "Grandma broke her leg?"

The middle-aged man nodded miserably, "The doctor said that the bones of the old man are fragile, and if they are broken, they are broken. Even if they are well-raised, they can't do heavy work. They have to be taken care of."

Shen Hui was surprised, "Ouch! This is terrible, Granny Zou, don't worry, there are many medicinal herbs in the mountains, maybe we can cure it!"

The middle-aged woman waved her hand vigorously and said sternly: "We know whether it can be cured or not, so you just tell us what to do about this matter? Should you pay money or see an official?"

Shen Hui was even more confused, "What kind of money do you want to see an official?"

The woman pointed at her with a grim face, "Do you want to renege? If you hadn't told her that there is no tea tree anywhere, would she be able to run up the mountain alone? Can she sprain her feet? Don't even look at her." At what age do you dare to talk nonsense? Now that things are better and people are broken, you are satisfied?"

Shen Hui stopped being shocked, she was very angry, brandished the spatula, and said forcefully, "Auntie, is she going to put a pot of shit on our heads? Conscience, your mother-in-law is going to the mountains by herself, so why don't you care about us? If she is so filial, she should be allowed to stay at home and enjoy her happiness, instead of running around in the mountains, trying to blackmail people or dreaming about something happening now!"

Shen Qing looked at her sister in surprise, she was so angry, something was wrong!
Huo Lin was standing at the door with a pig food bucket in his hand. After listening to the process, he was also very angry. He turned to the boy, "Zou Liang, why are your family so unreasonable? We live on the mountain and down the mountain. If anyone has something to do, don't you just say hello?" One word, according to what you said, anyone who dares to recruit your family will have to stay away from it."

The boy named Zou Liang lowered his head so much that he almost shrank into his chest.

Seeing her son being scolded, Zou's daughter-in-law immediately pinched her waist with both hands and pointed the gun at Huo Lin.

She is a shrew, and she doesn't care whether it's decent or not when she scolds people, she can scold people harshly.

Uncle Huo listened next door, quickly put on his clothes, and rushed over quickly. He stood there with a straight face, and he was very imposing.

"From the Zou family, you are looking at these two girls who have no elders to take care of them. You think they are easy to bully, so you want to blackmail them, don't you? Is it easy, kid?"

The daughter-in-law of the Zou family took the lead, like a teapot, spitting and shouting, "It's not easy for anyone, how easy is it for our family? I heard that your grandson is a high-ranking official in the military camp. Why, now you have to Is power overpowering? Then let’s go to the county government office and ask the county magistrate to comment. It’s clear that these two girls have evil intentions and deliberately tricked my mother-in-law into going to the mountains. Poor old woman, she went up the mountain with a cane to pick tea, just to earn money. A few small coins, and a broken leg, how will I live from now on!"

The second step for a country shrew to cause trouble is to sit on the ground and cry!
Granny Zou still covered her face with an old handkerchief, Zou Liang had already gone outside, and Huo Lin followed.

Her man squatted aside, lowered his head and pretended to be dead.

Boss Fan had hired someone to work for him before, and one of them was him. Shen Qing didn't pay him less, and he paid him more than he needed. At that time, he even praised Shen Qing for being generous and kind, and said a lot of good things.

Shen Hui's face turned dark with anger and she wanted to scold her, but the Zou family's daughter-in-law cried so loudly that she couldn't hold it back.

In a hurry, she looked at her sister and asked with her eyes.

Old Man Huo also looked at Shen Qing.

Country people, country things.
