Group pet small peasant girls: Escape the famine with the space of merit

Chapter 169 Persecution Paranoia

Zhou An knew that Nuannuan had to cover the floor of each house with blue bricks, so he couldn't help but smacked his tongue in front of his wife: "I heard that Nuannuan, the township lord, doesn't even have a salary. How can there be so much money?"

Zhou's mother also felt pain for Nuannuan: "How much money will it cost?"

Over the years, their Zhou family's life has become more and more difficult day by day, thinking that other families are also like them.

Zhou An said worriedly: "I heard from Da Lang's father that their first room and second room will also build the same house as Nuan Nuan's house."

Zhou's mother was taken aback: "Do they have that much money?" "How can I ask?" Zhou An said.
Isn't he just worried that his in-laws won't be able to pay the money, and they will have to bear a whole body of debts, and Da Lang and Hui Niang will have to spend their entire lives to repay it?
A new house like Wen’s Sanfang can’t be built without 80 taels.

Some people just don't talk about it. The two elders of the Zhou family were thinking about their daughter and son-in-law when they saw their daughter pushing the door and walking in: "Father, mother, I'm back."

Mrs. Zhou An was surprised: "Why are you back at this time?"

The eldest family of the Wen family is building a house, and the field is also busy. When my daughter comes back at this time, will the in-laws and mother-in-law be happy? "Father and mother, my parents-in-law asked us to bring food over."

As soon as Zhou Huiniang finished speaking, Da Lang came in carrying a sack.

It turned out that when Zhou An was chatting with the Wenxing people a few days ago, he accidentally mentioned that his original field had not been cultivated for too long. The wheat and rice harvests he planted last year were not good. That bit of food can only be eaten sparingly.

Seeing Da Lang carrying two bags of grain into the house, Zhou An and his wife came to their senses: "Da Lang, your family is not easy, how can you send so much food to our house?"

"Father, our family is not short of food."

After Dalang finished speaking, he walked out again, and took three bags of grain from the carriage, which made the two elders of the Zhou family dumbfounded.

"Huiniang, did your father-in-law and mother-in-law really send this food?" Mother Zhou asked her daughter in a low voice, "You guys brought all the food here. What do you eat at home?" Zhou Huiniang also had the same thoughts as her mother at first She was worried, but after her mother-in-law took her to see the house where the grain was stored, she realized that the Wen family was different from their Zhou family.

Although the Wen family came back from Lianzhou because of an earthquake, the Wen family has a solid foundation and has a lot of food in the family.

"Mother, in the past we only knew that Nuannuan was named the emperor and the township monarch, but we didn't know that Nuannuan was helping the people find water sources in Lianzhou, and after obtaining high-yield grain seeds, they generously distributed high-yield grain seeds to The common people in Lianzhou have allowed the local common people to have a good harvest in the famine year and live a good life."

Zhou Huiniang only picked the ones that she thought were the most important. As for the other things Wen Nuan did in Lianzhou City, Zhou Huiniang planned to tell her parents when she had time in the future.

In short, Nuan Nuan, the "Le Quan Township Lord", did not come for nothing.

Da Lang and Zhou Huiniang came to Zhou's house this time not only to deliver food, but also high-yield grain seeds: "Father, this bag is the high-yield rice seed that Nuannuan gave you, and this bag contains rapeseed, peanuts, and soybeans. The seeds are all high-yielding, so if you plant all the seeds, the family will definitely not be short of food in the second half of the year."

Hearing that it was a high-yield seed, the two elders of the Zhou family were very excited: "Are the high-yield grain seeds the same as we used to plant?" Nuan told the folks in the village about the fact that Nuan has high-yield grain seeds. If you need it, you can buy grain seeds from Nuan Nuan at home, and the price is not expensive." Now in Zhongzhou, because the fields are barren and the harvest is not good, people flee from famine because they miss their hometown. The people who came back one after another regretted coming back now.

It is not a good thing if only the fields in their village are harvested well, and it may cause unnecessary troubles.

Therefore, by selling high-yield grain seeds, Nuan Nuan has gained a reputation, and the villagers will not become the target of public criticism.

Zhou's father and Zhou mother were very happy after hearing Dalang's words: "This is a great news, we will definitely pass this good news to other villagers!"

Dalang and Erlang are in charge of selling grain seeds. Erlang also teaches the villagers who come to buy grain seeds how to change the barren state of the fields and how to fertilize the fields.

Someone from Xia Huaizhang sent a letter to Nuan, saying that a sample of the sewage pipe had been produced, and asked Nuan to go to the porcelain kiln to have a look.

"I said Nuannuan, it took me a lot of work to get these sewage pipes. I traveled a lot of places just for the suitable clay, and I spent a lot of money on these utensils..."

As soon as Xia Huaizhang saw Nuan Nuan, he murmured about his difficulties.

Nuannuan listened quietly and did not interrupt him.

It wasn't until Xia Huaizhang said that he was tired that he stopped to drink water, and Wen Nuan said: "These sewage pipes are well done, so we will first make 32 sections and five three-way links according to this specification, and the rest can be made straight." Xia Huaizhang rubbed his hands and said : "That silver..."

Fudong received warm eyes and handed Xia Huaizhang two bank notes.

200 taels? !

Xia Huaizhang's peach-blossom eyes just lit up, but he heard Fudong say again: "Boss Xia, my girl lent you the 200 taels first, calculate how much my girl wants these sewage pipes, and then deduct 200% of my girl's The profit can be deducted from the [-] taels of silver at that time." Xia Huaizhang: "..."

I feel very heartbroken!

But he really didn't have any capital to turn around. For the sake of the 200 taels of silver, he endured it!

Seeing Xia Huaizhang's sullen expression, Nuan was a little speechless.

Is there something wrong with Xia Huaizhang's brain?
On the way back, Lianqiu told Wen Nuan the news he had found out: "This young master Xia is also a poor man. After the old master Xia died of illness, those relatives of the Xia family either used the excuse of helping him to beat the autumn wind, or secretly deceived him. The property of the Xia family, the Xia family with a big family and a great business, is only an empty shell in less than half a year." Xia Huaizhang, who had no intentions at first, became vigilant after being cheated too much, but he was too vigilant , I feel that everyone will cheat him.

"Except for the masters of the Xia family's Way Kiln who have been favored by Master Xia, there is no one who treats Young Master Xia sincerely." To be honest, Lianqiu has never met anyone more unlucky than Xia Huaizhang.

"So, Xia Huaizhang is suffering from persecution paranoia?" Persecution delusion?

Lianqiu thought for a while and said with a smile: "This metaphor is indeed very appropriate."

Doesn't Xia Huaizhang just think that everyone who approaches him wants to harm him?

Before returning to the village, Wen Nuan went to the tailor shop in Ningshui Town to pick up the clothes she made for her nephew (niece), three bundles in total.

As soon as the carriage arrived at the entrance of the village, the warmth inside the carriage heard Lianqiu whispering outside the carriage: "Girl, something seems to have happened in the village."
