Farmhouse with a little field

Chapter 30 Laissez-faire Policy
"My son's father, if you have anything to say, just say it, I feel uncomfortable seeing you like this." This was Han Qingmei's voice.

Jiang Shouren sighed heavily, lowered his head and said, "Mother said let's go to the old house for dinner at noon today."

"Why did mother say that all of a sudden? Did something happen?" Han Qingmei was surprised, she didn't believe her mother-in-law would be so kind.

Jiang Shouren raised his eyelids to look at Han Qingmei, and his voice became softer: "Mother asked me to bring half of the rice noodles we bought yesterday, as well as the fabric and pork belly."

"Mother, are you asking us for something?" Han Qingmei's voice was a little angry.

"This..." Jiang Shouren's scalp was numb from Han Qingmei's gaze, so he could only lower his head lower, "It's also right to respect the elderly, and besides, we can't finish eating so much rice noodles at once."

Hearing this, not only Han Qingmei, but even Jiang Duyue, who was pretending to be asleep, couldn't help but sneer.

Han Qingmei took a deep breath before controlling her voice: "I said the child's father, do you really think we should do this? Do you really think it's right for mother to do this?"

Jiang Shouren choked on this question, and after a while, he hesitated and said: "But no matter what, it's our mother after all."

"But it doesn't make sense for us to take so many things at once, and I specially picked up the fabric to make clothes for the two children. Why does mother even want fabric?" Han Qingmei looked at Jiang Shouren disappointedly, and said: Trying to reason with Jiang Shouren.

Jiang Shouren was even less confident: "It's not that I'm in a hurry to make clothes, we can just tear a piece of cloth for the child some other day."

"Father, that's your mother, not mother's mother! Your grandma has raised you for so many years, you should respect her, but she has never raised your mother for a day, and even oppressed her all the time. Why do you want your mother to take care of you?" Can the money you earn go to help you fulfill your filial piety?" Jiang Duyue finally couldn't listen anymore, and sat up.

Jiang Shouren didn't expect Jiang Duyue to speak suddenly, and he was a little stunned for a while, and then his face flushed red: "What nonsense are you talking about, your mother married into our old Jiang's family, she is from our old Jiang's family gone."

"If grandma really treats mother as her own family, will she always bully her, order her, and torture her? Such a family, don't mind!" Jiang Duyue's eyes looked a little fierce, but in fact they were all angry.

Jiang Shouren was so choked that he couldn't speak.

Jiang Duyue despised Jiang Shouren ten thousand times from the bottom of her heart, and then said, "Father, from now on, we don't care how you honor your grandma and how you treat our three mothers, but you can't give away the fruits of our labor." Be your credit, so if you really want to be filial to grandma, then go make money yourself!"

"Xiaoyue, how can you say that? Aren't we family?" Jiang Shouren looked at Jiang Duyue in disbelief.

Jiang Duyue curled her lips: "A husband who only embarrasses his wife is not a good husband, and a father who only makes his children suffer is not a good father. Do you really think we are a family?"

Hearing this, Jiang Shouren opened his mouth in shock, but was speechless.

He subconsciously looked at Han Qingmei, hoping that Han Qingmei would stand up and speak for him at this time, but Han Qingmei just sat with his face turned away, without any intention of speaking.

Did Qingmei think the same way?

"Qingmei, you know me, and I don't want you to suffer, it's just that there are certain things..." Jiang Shouren anxiously opened his mouth to defend, but the words he said were too weak.

Han Qingmei finally raised her head and looked at Jiang Shouren. Just when Jiang Shouren thought she saw hope, Han Qingmei said, "I think Xiaoyue is right. We don't care what you do in the future, but I don't want to I will let myself and my children suffer, so...so I hope you will leave us alone."

At this moment, Jiang Shouren was completely stunned, and his face turned pale in an instant.

Jiang Duyue glanced at Han Qingmei and sighed secretly. Jiang Shouren didn't notice it, but Jiang Duyue could see it clearly. When she said these words, Han Qingmei's hands were shaking slightly.

"Xiaoyue, sleep a little longer, mother will go cook first." After saying that, Han Qingmei got off the kang and went out.

Jiang Duyue sighed, and hurriedly put on her coat and followed out. It is estimated that the cheap mother is not feeling very well at this time. She has to go to comfort her. Besides, the sky is already bright now, and it is estimated that Shuiyue Tower will be in the house later. People should come too.

When Jiang Duyue followed the stove, she saw Han Qingmei sitting in front of the stove in a daze, her eyes were a little red.

"Mother, are you okay?" Jiang Duyue squatted down in front of Han Qingmei with a cautious expression on her face.

Han Qingmei looked at Jiang Duyue, and suddenly curled the corners of her mouth. This action frightened Jiang Duyue. Didn't the cheap mother push herself too much all of a sudden, leading to confusion?

"Xiaoyue, mother is fine, mother is really fine. Mother just suddenly felt... It seems that some things are not so difficult to say, maybe you are right, even without your father, our mother and I can live well." There was a relieved smile on Han Qingmei's face, and her expression was soft with a hint of determination.

Jiang Duyue's eyes instantly changed from worry to surprise: "Mom, have you really figured it out?"

"What's the point of thinking about it, what can't be figured out? Before, my mother didn't dare to think about it. Now that you say that, my mother dares to think about it." In fact, after listening to Jiang Duyue's words yesterday, Han Qing Mei has been thinking about this.

Of course, Han Qingmei wasn't thinking of reconciling with Jiang Shouren, or being divorced by Jiang Shouren.

What Han Qingmei thought was that maybe it was time for her to become independent and become a safe haven for her children.

In the past, she always regarded Jiang Shouren as her own code of conduct, so she endured it for so many years, but one day, when her husband and child were put together, Han Qingmei chose her child almost without hesitation.

So she was shaken. She started to waver when Xiaoyue's marriage was robbed. After discovering the scars on Xiaonian's body, this thought became even stronger.It's just that at that time she was still very inferior. She felt that she didn't have any other advantages besides being diligent and able to work, so even if she was shaken, she didn't dare to think too much.

But just yesterday, she actually made money. Although she also knew that the money was actually earned by Xiaoyue, this incident made her gradually gain confidence in herself.Coupled with the earnest persuasion of the two children, and the growing disappointment with Jiang Shouren, Han Qingmei finally made a decision at this time.

The children are so capable, how can she, a mother, disappoint the children?

At this moment, Jiang Duyue is almost cheering. It is a great thing for Niang to figure out this matter. Not only will it be of great help to the current situation, but it may also have a huge impact on the future!

"Mom, it's great that you can figure it out! We women, we just can't live on men, so we're so useless." Once excited, Jiang Duyue spoke a little out of proportion.

Han Qingmei poked Jiang Duyue's forehead: "You're still 'we woman', how old are you?"

Jiang Duyue held her forehead and stuck out her tongue: "I'm just talking casually. Anyway, it's great that mother can figure this out! Hehe, to celebrate this, let's have amaranth gluten soup in the morning!"

"Amaranth gluten soup? What is this?" Han Qingmei didn't know that besides the 50 taels yesterday, Jiang Duyue used other methods to earn 20 taels of silver.

At this time, Jiang Duyue also thought of this, and directly whispered it to Han Qingmei's ear.

"What? You made so much money again?" Han Qingmei's eyes widened, and her voice instantly became louder.

Jiang Duyue hastily stretched out her hand to make a "shh" motion around her mouth, and said in a low voice: "Mother, this is our private money, you must not let others know, even if you are a father!"

If it was yesterday, Han Qingmei might still have hesitated, but at this moment she nodded almost immediately, and even told Jiang Duyue in turn: "Then you have to hide the money, if your father finds out, it will be terrible." That's bad."

Jiang Duyue rolled her eyes. Being in the countryside, the most important thing is to have land. Now that she has some money, it's time for her to understand the situation: "Mother, you know that the fields here are all What's the price?"

"Xiaoyue, do you want to buy land?" Han Qingmei immediately understood what Jiang Duyue meant.

Jiang Duyue has this plan, but she doesn't know how to implement it: "I have 70 taels of silver in my hand now, which sounds like a lot, but I think it's actually not enough. It's just that if the money is left like this, it won't be enough. I feel uneasy, mother, what do you think I should do?"

Han Qingmei no longer treats Jiang Duyue as an ignorant child, so after hearing this, she really thought about it for a while, and then said: "The low-grade sandy land here costs three taels of silver per mu, and the medium-sized The land is four taels per mu, and if it is a high-quality fertile land, it needs five taels of silver. In fact, 70 taels of silver can buy a lot of good land, but if you buy land, how do you plan to take care of it?"

"Mom, if I really want to buy land, I don't plan to take care of it myself. I want to hire someone to take care of it. Then I'll just wait for the rent to be collected. What do you think?" Jiang Duyue scratched her head, Although she has some knowledge about farming, it is only a half-knowledge, and it is still based on modern farming methods.

Han Qingmei thought about it again, and a look of embarrassment appeared on her face: "Buying land is a good thing, but if your grandma finds out about it, I'm afraid it's not easy to handle!"

"So even if we buy land, we have to do it in secret. We must not let my father and the people in the old house know." Jiang Duyue planned to hide this matter, but he didn't know if it would be difficult to implement. "Mom, you Do you think we can fool them?"

If he just hid the money, Jiang Duyue still has the confidence to hide it, but if it is to buy land, after all, he needs to go through some procedures and steps, so Jiang Duyue is not sure.

Han Qingmei was also a little uncertain. Although she knew the general steps to buy land, she had never bought land before, and she didn't know how to do it.

"Why don't I go to Lizheng's house later and ask, Lizheng will definitely know what to do." The only person Han Qingmei could think of who knew the specific steps of buying land was Lizheng.

"Is mother familiar with Li Zheng in the village?" Jiang Duyue asked.

Han Qingmei shook her head with a wry smile. She and Li Zheng had never spoken before, so they couldn't be more familiar.

"Then I'm afraid this method won't work." Li is a village manager who is second only to the village head in the village. Naturally, he knows the steps of this kind of thing very well, but if Li Zheng knows about it, wouldn't it be Is it equivalent to letting the whole village know?Unless Li Zheng is willing to help them hide it.

Han Qingmei also thought of this, and said with a sneer: "This method is really not good, why don't you go to the town and ask, mother heard that there are people who specialize in selling land for people."

"It's not urgent. The main reason is that after calculating the 70 taels of silver, you can only buy more than ten acres of fertile land. It seems that you have to save more." Jiang Duyue sighed, 70 taels of silver, It is reasonable to say that it is the living expenses of ordinary farmers for 70 years. How can it be so small after such a calculation?

Han Qingmei didn't think so. Before this, she had never seen even a tael of silver, let alone 70 taels, and it was 70 taels earned by her own daughter, which is simply astronomical.

"Xiaoyue, I think ten mu of land is quite a lot. If you really want to buy it, next time mother goes to town, I can ask you." Han Qingmei really thinks that ten mu of land is a lot. With so many people in the Jiang family, they only have a total of [-] mu of land, of which [-] mu is sandy land.

Before Jiang Duyue could answer, she heard Jiang Shouren's voice from outside: "Mother, Xiaoyue, someone is coming from Shuiyue Tower!"
