Happy pastoral event: a wonderful wife

Chapter 142: A Timely Delivery of Charcoal

"What's the matter, Ling'er, are you upset about something?" Shen Yunjin asked with concern.

Zhou Ling'er's eyes dimmed, and she nodded disappointedly, "I'm indeed a little bit bothered, and it's all because of our vegetable field."

Shen Yunjin was puzzled, "What's wrong with your vegetable field, isn't it fine?"

Mentioning the matter of the vegetable field, Zhou Linger couldn't help but sighed softly, "The vegetable field is pretty good now, but it won't work in the near future. When our family was building this vegetable field, it actually occupied The Hou family’s two acres of land, because the aunt of the Hou family had a good relationship with our family at that time, she was afraid that our vegetable land would not be enough, so she generously let us use the two acres of land of the Hou family first, so We use it."

Hearing her talking about Aunt Hou's family, Shen Yunjin immediately thought of that kind and honest woman. Aunt Hou's family was very kind, and almost no one in the village said anything bad about her. It's a pity that Aunt Hou He had a serious illness and didn't survive it, and he passed away not long after.

Zhou Ling'er continued, "We have used the two acres of land of the Hou family for a long time, and we have nothing to repay them. We can only send a lot of vegetables to Aunt Hou every year. But yesterday, people from the Hou family came to look for it. My mother said that now that Aunt Hou is gone, the rest of the Hou family don’t want to lend us the two acres of land anymore. After we have finished harvesting this season’s vegetables, we are not allowed to use their land anymore. We have to return the land to the Hou family."

After listening, Shen Yunjin understands why Zhou Linger's mood is so low. The Zhou family's land is not big in the first place, and if they want to return these two acres, the remaining land will become even less.

That small vegetable patch was almost the entire source of income for Zhou Ling'er and Aunt Zhou. With fewer vegetable patches, their mother and daughter's life would of course be even more difficult.

But the two acres of land originally belonged to the Hou family, so it was understandable for them to want to return their own land. Zhou Ling'er and Mrs. Zhou were both reasonable people, so naturally they would not mess around.

Shen Yunjin comforted softly, "Fortunately, the people of the Hou family are willing to let you return this season's vegetables after harvesting, which is considered reasonable, Ling'er, don't worry too much about this matter, you still have to worry about it." Fortunately, it’s only two acres of land, not too much.”

"Actually, I have nothing to complain about. After all, the land belongs to the Hou family. It is already a kindness for them to lend us the land for such a long time." Zhou Ling'er smiled slightly, which was considered comforting. Own.

At this time, Shen Yunjin remembered her original intention of coming here. Didn't she come to Zhou's house to tell Zhou Ling'er that the three mu of land in her family will be used by Zhou Linger's mother and daughter in the future?

Shen Yunjin was overjoyed, telling Zhou Linger about this at this time would definitely solve Zhou Linger's troubles and make Zhou Linger happy.

"Look at me, I was so busy talking to you that I almost forgot important things." Shen Yunjin slapped his forehead and said with a happy smile, "Ling'er, I want to tell you something. Our family has three acres of land. , the one next to Wu’s house, the fence has been installed around it, it’s very suitable for growing vegetables, so I’ll give you that piece of land, and you can use it as you like in the future.”

Hearing this, Zhou Ling'er was taken aback, she shook her head quickly, "Yunjin, you don't have to do this, although our family has lost two acres of land now, it doesn't matter, my mother and I just need to plant the vegetables more densely." A little bit, then our own vegetable field will be enough."

Shen Yunjin took Zhou Ling'er's hand and explained, "That's not the case. I didn't say this on a whim because your family wants to return the land of the Hou family. In fact, I came to your house today to tell you You, the three acres of our family's land will belong to you and your wife in the future."

Zhou Ling'er opened her eyes wide and asked suspiciously, "Is this really the case, but your family only has three acres of land, so what should you do if you gave it to us?"

Although she knows that Shen Yunjin is richer now than in the past, after all, the field is very important to farmers. Even if they don't rely on the field for a living, they can grow some fruits and vegetables to eat by themselves. It is good.

Shen Yunjin replied, "Ling'er, didn't I tell you last time, Li Yi and I have already bought a shop in the town, and it is currently being renovated. In two months, our family can If I move to live in the town, the land in the village will of course be useless. I also don't want to give this land to Dafang and Erfang for nothing, so I made an agreement with Li Yi to give this land away. A piece of land is given to you."

Hearing what she said, Zhou Ling'er believed that she didn't do this because the Hou family wanted to take over the land. Zhou Ling'er was very grateful and very happy.

"Yunjin, thank you, then I won't be polite to you." Zhou Ling'er smiled gratefully, "My mother and I were still worried, but with your three acres of land, we can compare What used to be there will be one more acre, and there will be more vegetables that can be grown. If my mother finds out, I don’t know what success will be like. When my mother comes back, I will go to your house with her to thank you .”

Now that she knew that Shen Yunjin really didn't need that piece of land, she happily accepted it.

Shen Yunjin hurriedly waved his hands and said, "You said you were not polite to me just now, but now you say you want to come to my house with my aunt to thank you, so you should be polite to me again? We have such a good relationship, so there is no need to repeat it again and again. Thank you again and again, you'd better let the aunt rest, don't let the aunt thank me in person, or else I will feel embarrassed."

Zhou Ling'er couldn't hide the joy on her face, "Okay, you have the final say."

But she then said again, "But, Yunjin, I thought about it, we can use your land temporarily, but we only use this land, but don't, this land is still yours. When you don't need it We will use it to grow vegetables, but if one day you need it, we will return it to you.”

The land is very important to farmers, Zhou Ling'er is really embarrassed to accept the three mu of land completely.

Seeing that she persisted in this way, Shen Yunjin also agreed, and she didn't want to add too much psychological burden to Zhou Ling'er.

"Okay, then you can use it first." Shen Yunjin nodded and said, "When the aunt comes back, you two can discuss it, you can use this land to grow vegetables now, and you can grow whatever you want. "

Zhou Ling'er happily agreed. Seeing that the weather was fine today, she asked Shen Yunjin to accompany her for a walk. She couldn't wait to go to the vegetable field to tell her mother the good news.

So the two of them left the house, talking and laughing all the way to Zhou's vegetable field.
