After being jilted, the entire neighboring village was filled with deep regret.
Chapter 31 Su Tai Enters the City
Chapter 31 Su Tai Enters the City
After seeing all this, Su Tai jumped up with joy and bought some seedling growing media and tools to first grow seedlings and then plant the vegetables.
For the next few days, she spent almost all her time working in the Earth Dimension. By the time she finished, it was already March.
This year, the snow cover was not thick, and the ground thawed quickly. The ditches in Zhongmen Village were almost finished, and water was successfully diverted to the fields. Zeng Kuan even brought the villagers over to express his gratitude.
The fields are full of water, and it's almost time to start sowing.
Su Chunlin and a group of villagers happily took their money to town to buy grain seeds, only to find that a pound of grain now cost sixty coins, while a pound of grain seeds cost over a hundred coins, making it unaffordable for the villagers.
A group of people were arguing with the shopkeeper outside the grain store, which attracted the attention of Master Ma.
"Get out! Get out! What are you going to do with grain if you don't have money! You're all poor beggars!" Master Ma shouted angrily, venting all the anger he had accumulated over the past year.
After a huge argument, Master Ma naturally refused to sell the grain seeds to them.
The villagers, having returned empty-handed, were all frowning and went off to think of their own solutions.
Su Chunlin returned home and made an important decision: "I've decided to go to the county town to ask my older brother for help in buying grain seeds. Who will come with me?"
Everyone was stunned.
"Father, why is that?" Su Zhan asked curiously.
Su Chunlin angrily berated Master Ma, and also let the whole family know how outrageous the grain prices were outside.
Han rushed into the house immediately and glanced at the grain jar, looking worried. "Our grain is almost gone. It costs sixty or seventy coins per pound. We can't afford that!"
Our family has eight mu of fertile land, six mu of poor-quality land, and two mu of sandy land. We need to prepare at least 160 jin of grain seeds.
Han didn't dare to think about how much these grain seeds would cost.
Su Tai thought that the wheat in the Earth Dimension would be ready for harvest in about half a month, so she wasn't in a hurry. She looked at Su Chunlin and said, "Dad, let Mom and my brother take care of the land at home. I'll go with you to take a look."
Han was the first to support her, and now she completely trusts Su Tai's abilities.
The next day, before dawn, the father and daughter went to town and took an oxcart to the county seat. If it were just Su Chunlin, he would have walked there by himself. But with Su Tai by his side, he gritted his teeth and took the oxcart to avoid ruining his precious daughter's legs.
The two arrived in Zhaohua County just as the sun was setting.
When Su Tai first arrived in the county town, everything seemed new and exciting. It was clearly more prosperous than Moshi Town, with brick and tile houses everywhere. Even ordinary people could afford to live in brick and tile courtyards, though they were a bit small.
The street is lined with two rows of shops and is quite bustling.
She silently followed behind Su Chunlin, taking in everything without saying a word.
After a long and winding journey, the father and daughter finally arrived at a large, prestigious estate.
Su Tai looked up at the high courtyard wall and asked curiously, "Dad, is this where Uncle lives?"
Su Chunlin gestured for silence, then led Su Tai to a small door. They knocked twice before someone opened it.
Su Chunlin immediately put on a fawning smile, "Young man, I'm looking for your manor's groom, Su Chunsen. I'm his younger brother, Su Chunlin."
The other person clearly remembered Su Chunlin, glanced at him twice, and nodded indifferently, "You wait here, I'll go in and look for him."
With a bang, the small door slammed shut.
The two waited for half an hour before someone finally arrived.
The man who opened the door was middle-aged and looked about six or seven parts like Su Chunlin, but he appeared more composed and prosperous. Su Chunsen looked worried as soon as he saw his younger brother, "Why are you here at this time?"
Only after he finished speaking did he notice Su Tai standing in the corner. He blinked hard and exclaimed in surprise, "This...this is Xiao Tai?"
"Uncle," Su Tai greeted him obediently.
Su Chunsen was even more surprised, "Xiaotai can recognize people now?"
"Brother, it's a long story." Su Chunlin was a little embarrassed. Last time he came to borrow money from Su Chunsen, he only talked about the bad things in order to play the victim and didn't mention Su Tai's recovery at all.
The two were taken by Su Chunsen to a side room in a courtyard behind the Bai residence to rest.
When Su Chunsen learned of what Su Tai had been through recently, he remained serious but did not show any anger.
"Since the Xiong family is so unethical, it's not a bad thing if the marriage is off! The important thing is that the child is cured!"
Su Chunlin chuckled and nodded, "Brother is right. I wasn't sure about coming last time, and I didn't dare say anything because I was afraid you'd worry. Now that Xiaotai is completely healed, of course I brought her along!"
Su Chunsen glared at his younger brother speechlessly, "Do you think I don't know what kind of person you are! Tell me, what's going on this time?"
Su Tai secretly glanced at Su Chunlin, very curious about Su Chunsen's attitude towards him.
Su Chunlin, oblivious to his daughter watching the show, hurriedly explained the situation in detail, "Brother, I had no other choice but to come to you for help. Could you see if you can buy some cheaper grain seeds in the county town?"
Upon hearing that it was such a big deal, Su Chunsen immediately slapped his thigh and pondered, "Tomorrow I'll ask the purchasing manager in the manor. If all else fails, I'll ask the master. Anyway, the Bai family has quite a few estates and grain shops, so the people in the manor can definitely buy grain cheaper than outside. I just don't know how much they can buy."
"Okay, okay, I'm sorry to have troubled you again, brother." With a huge weight lifted from his heart, Su Chunlin's words were as sweet as honey.
Su Chunsen shook his head repeatedly, clearly unable to do anything about his younger brother.
Just then, the door was pushed open, and a beautiful young woman gracefully entered.
Her every move was just like that of an ancient woman in a TV drama, and Su Tai was instantly stunned.
Su Yu greeted everyone as she entered, then turned her gaze to Su Tai with a smile, "Uncle, this must be little sister Tai! I heard that little sister Tai was coming, so I immediately asked Miss for a favor to come and see her. Big brother will probably arrive later."
Su Chunsen frowned slightly. "Who told you that?"
Su Yu smiled lightly, "Father, have you forgotten the relationship between Awang, who's guarding the back, and my eldest brother? With Awang around, how could we, brother and sister, possibly be fooled?"
Su Chunsen sighed and rubbed his forehead, wanting to say something but stopping himself.
Su Yu understood and said, "I heard that Mother was sent out on an errand by Madam today, and she probably hasn't returned yet!"
Su Chunsen secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Su Yu stopped looking at her father and instead focused her gaze on Su Tai. After looking her over for a few moments, she praised, "Little Tai is so pretty, she doesn't look like a country girl at all."
Su Tai snapped out of her daze and put on a well-behaved and shy expression, "Cousin."
"Hey!" Su Yu's smile deepened. She asked Su Tai many questions about Dongmen Village. Seeing that Su Tai spoke clearly and had clear eyes, she liked her even more. She only let go of Su Tai's hand when Su Chuan came over.
Su Tai curiously sized up her cousin Su Chuan. He was handsome, with clever eyes, and even a bit sly. He had only been in the room for a quarter of an hour, but he had already made Su Chunlin beam with joy and treated her, his cousin whom he had never met before, with great warmth and attentiveness.
