Chapter 164 Planting Fruit Trees

Jiang Hao expressed support for this.

These two brothers were both very good, and they were not the kind of greedy people. She also thought that she could give them a try.

Nowadays, these two brothers are the only ones left in her natal family. As for her biological father, she has no intention of looking for him.

Since that person doesn't know her existence, it's better to do less than to do more.Besides, what would happen even if she was found? She is no longer the original owner and cannot play the role of father-daughter love.

Her background was criticized, and she might have already had a family, but whether she wanted to recognize her or not was another matter.

In the next few days, Jiang Hao spent time in the mall selecting fruit seedlings with a high survival rate, and a year passed in such a hurry.

The fifteenth day of the first lunar month passed in a blink of an eye.

Because of Qiuling's incident, no one in the family was smiling this year. On the night of the [-]th, she made some glutinous rice balls and ate them with Xiao Ping'an.

On the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, the Wang family came to propose marriage.

The Wang family is relatively formal. In addition to the matchmaker, the royal father and queen mother came with many gifts.

Xiao Jingshan hasn't come back yet, and there is no man in the family. Ning specially asked Xiao Ping'an to take leave and not go to the county school today. He will wait until tomorrow.

"Hey, I said last time that a thousand miles of marriage is tied by a thin thread. Your girl and the Wang family are simply destined. Look at what I said."

Even though Qiu Ling's incident was well known to everyone, the matchmaker's words were still very nice, and she didn't even mention that she came to be a matchmaker for the second eldest child of the Wang family only in the first year of junior high school.

Frankly speaking, Qiuling and the eldest son of the Wang family have a good marriage.

The Queen Mother also managed to smile, "Sister, my eldest son is a few years older than your daughter. I don't have a choice other than this, right? In the end, it doesn't mean I have wronged your daughter."

The second child was replaced by the eldest child, and the person proposing marriage was still the same woman. She was afraid that others would find out the joke.

Ning was thinking about Qiu Ling, who was still seeking life and death in the room, but she didn't answer for a while.

The Queen Mother's smile froze a little, and her face changed, as if she had suppressed the words as soon as she spoke.

When Jiang Hao saw the Queen Mother's face, she knew that she was someone she was not easy to deal with and was 100% dissatisfied with Qiu Ling.

It would be strange to be satisfied with a scandal.

The matchmaker tried to smooth things over, praising the Wang family again and again, and finally asked Ning in a roundabout way, "Mrs. Xiao, if you are willing, could you give me a few words?"

She's almost done with her saliva, can she be a little more relaxed?

"This...can you allow me to think about it for a moment?" Ning really had a headache.

Qiu Ling burst into tears and said she was unwilling to marry into the Wang family. If she agreed, Qiu Ling couldn't figure out what to do.

"Okay, girl, your family will think about it later, and let the matchmaker give you a message after you think about it."

The Queen Mother smiled on her face, but she was ridiculed in her heart.

Now that things have come to this, the Xiao family still wants to take advantage of her. A girl whose reputation has been ruined, who else can she marry if she doesn't marry her?

When the time comes, she will have to put a lot of pressure on the betrothal gift.

The Wang family left, and Mrs. Ning called to Jiang Hao. "Okay, what do you think of the Wang family?"

Jiang Hao looked calm and said, "Mom makes the decision."

She doesn't like to meddle in other people's business.

Ningshi sighed, "You know I've always had no ideas. Ping An is still young and I can't get involved in such things. Jingshan hasn't come back either. You are the only one in the family. You just have to have a word with your mother. This marriage is about to happen." How about it?"

She was so confused that she didn't even have an idea.

Jiang Hao paused for a moment and then spoke, "Then I'll tell the truth. With things like this, my mother should know in her heart that Qiuling can't find any good family except Wang Zhengguang in Yong'an Town, unless she arrives. Let’s kiss where no one knows you.”

Although the court encouraged women to marry for the second time, good families with a good family background still had to choose women with good moral character. If a woman's reputation was bad, she would end up marrying a crooked melon and a jujube at best.

Just like her reputation back then, even if she wasn't sick and was as strong as an ox, the only people she could marry would be lame, blind, widowers.

"Wang Zhengguang seems to be a good one at the moment, but her mother is afraid that she won't get along with her. To put it bluntly, she will definitely suffer a bit of injustice if she marries Qiu Ling with her temperament."

Since Ning asked, she said everything she needed to say. It was Ning's business how to make the choice.

Mrs. Ning nodded, "It's definitely not possible to go to other places. The Xiao family has already taken root here. Where can this world go?" "As long as Wang Zhengguang is a good person, that's fine. As for what you said about being wronged, which one?" If a daughter-in-law can enter the house without her mother-in-law making things difficult for her, as long as she doesn't go out of her way, even I can't tell."

"That being said, the Wang family is still okay. I'll go and try to persuade Qiuling."

Jiang Hao:......

She didn't refute Ning's thoughts, but she didn't agree with them either.

Women are already in a difficult situation, not to mention the change of this era or the future generations. There are still many women who get married and are bullied by their husband's family.

It’s okay if you can stand up on your own. No matter how powerful your mother’s family is, they will always suffer some injustice in invisible places.

She said everything she had to say.

Of course, Qiu Ling disagreed life and death. She stayed in the room every day and did not come out. The Wang family asked the matchmaker to ask again, but there was no movement.

Mrs. Ning kept thinking about why Xiao Jingshan didn't come back every day.

It is a leap month this year and it will be hot after the New Year. Jiang Hao started to hire people to fertilize the wasteland.

The land is too barren and it will definitely not work without fertilizing, and the fruit trees will not be able to grow well by then.

At this time, there was only farmyard manure, and she needed too much. It would not be enough to take out the pig pens in every household. Besides, they also had to farm, so it was impossible to give her all the manure.

She simply bought fertilizer and two thousand saplings. She also bought some fruit trees that were suitable for the time here.

The first step was to mix in chemical fertilizer. She definitely couldn't do it alone, so she called people she knew well in the village to do the work.

Tian Cuihua's youngest son couldn't help but ask, "Mrs. Jiang, what is this? It's white and gray. It looks like a sugar pill, but isn't it too small?"

"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask, and get to work quickly."

Tian Cuihua rolled her eyes at him. After finishing this pile, each person has one tael of silver. Why talk so much?

"It's the fertilizer your Brother Xiao got from outside. It's not as good as our farm fertilizer, but it should be enough for planting trees." Jiang Hao said generously.

The more she hid it, the more suspicious it became. Sure enough, no one asked after she said that.

Jiang Hao breathed a sigh of relief. The fertilizer was mixed overnight and hauled to the wasteland for fertilization.

The next night, Jiang Hao secretly placed the fruit seedlings in the ground without anyone noticing.

At dawn, she asked Ma and Tian Cuihua to help her find tree planters. Almost all the men in the village were found.

For such a big battle, of course the village chief also came.

"When did this sapling come here? It looks like it was transformed in one night. It must have cost a lot of money. Can it be planted?"

The village chief looked left and right and saw some saplings he didn't recognize.

Jiang Hao smiled and answered, "There is a way in Jingshan. Friends from outside sent it to me. I have to try to see if it can be grown."

The village chief stroked his beard and said, "Of all the women in the village, you are the most troublesome. What if it can grow and bear fruit and eat all the food? If it is sold, it will not be easy to sell. If it is shipped outside, wouldn't it all be rotten? Already?"

Just as Jiang Hao was about to answer, Ma from the side came over and lowered his voice.

"Old man, you don't have to worry about it. If you have nothing to do, just plant trees with Quan'er and pay your wages."

The village chief left angrily.

Are you kidding? He is the head of the village after all. How could he come to work for the Xiao family? It would be a loss of face.

"Niece, don't worry about what this old man says. If you need any help, just tell me." Ma smiled.

Jiang Hao also smiled and said, "Thank you Aunt Ma. Could you please boil some water and bring it over? Do you think the salary will be thirty cents?"

"They are all from the same village. They don't have money for anything. Isn't this an outsider? I will burn it right now."

Although she said this, she knew in her heart that Jiang Hao would never let her work go in vain.

Jiang Hao looked at Ma's back and smiled again. She knew Ma's thoughts, as long as she didn't go too far.

Within a few days, the wasteland at the foot of the mountain was filled with fruit saplings.
