After being jilted, the entire neighboring village was filled with deep regret.

Chapter 32 The Eldest Uncle's Family

After talking for a while, seeing that it was completely dark, Su Yu and Su Chuan returned to their master's side to serve him. Su Chunsen was the groom, and there was usually no need to find him at this time, so he led Su Chunlin and his daughter to find an inn to stay in.

The next day, Su Chunsen arrived just as dawn was breaking.

"Chunlin, I've prepared all the food you requested and placed it at the back door of the inn. A caravan from the Chenshi Escort Agency is on a long journey and will pass through Moshi Town. You should hire an oxcart to follow them to avoid any mishaps on the road."

Su Chunlin had just woken up and was still groggy. Upon hearing this, he instinctively pulled out all his travel money from his pocket. "Brother, this is all my possessions. It's all yours."

Su Chunsen impatiently pushed the things back, "I don't need your little bit of money, hurry up and pack your things and leave."

As he spoke, Su Chunsen turned to Su Tai, who immediately became kind and approachable. “Xiao Tai, your cousins ​​have to work and can’t come. They asked me to bring some things for you and your siblings.”

Su Chunsen handed over two large bundles, which Su Tai quickly took. "Uncle, what are these?"

Su Chunsen pointed to the pink bundle and said, "This is for you. Inside are some clothes that your cousin can no longer wear, some that are about 70-80% new, and some hair accessories for little girls."

"This is far too valuable!" Su Tai exclaimed, somewhat apprehensive.

Su Chunlin also declined, saying, "Children from the countryside can't wear such good material. Let's give it back to Xiaoyu."

Su Chunsen immediately glared at him, "What do you mean 'give back'! The Bai family makes clothes for the servants all year round. Xiaoyu is the eldest young lady's head maid, and she gets four new outfits a season, two different patterns. She has a lot of clothes. She saved up the ones she couldn't wear in previous years, and now she can give them all to Xiaotai."

Su Tai is a year or two younger than Su Yu, but much thinner and weaker. She can wear all of Su Yu's old clothes that she used to have saved up.

Su Chunlin was already afraid of his elder brother, and when Su Chunsen changed his expression, he immediately fell silent.

The father and daughter, carrying large bags and a cartload of wheat seeds, followed the caravan. Along the way, they encountered some malicious followers, but fortunately, Su Chunlin struck up a conversation with the caravan members, thus escaping danger. Upon reaching Moshi Town, they dared not linger, and immediately hauled the wheat seeds home.

When Han saw the wheat seeds, her heart finally settled down. But after examining the seeds, she became dejected again. "Honey, these wheat seeds don't look plump enough. I don't know if we'll get a good harvest."

Su Chunlin sighed, "I only managed to get this with my older brother's help, and he didn't ask me for any money. Let's not be picky and choose, let's just get through this year first."

Upon hearing this, Su Tai immediately went to the Wood Dimension to buy seeds. "Boss, I'd like to ask how much your wheat seeds cost?"

Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper raised an eyebrow and asked, "How many do you want?"

Su Tai conservatively estimated, "Two hundred catties."

The shop owner's eyes lit up, and he immediately began to enthusiastically introduce the varieties, "I have no fewer than twenty or thirty kinds of wheat here. Some are suitable for the drier north, some are suitable for high-altitude planting, and some are even extremely drought-resistant. These wheat varieties also have different tastes."

The shopkeeper explained everything, and in the end, Su Tai chose the most suitable one according to her requirements. The seed cost eight yuan per pound.

Su Tai didn't have that much money, so she had no choice but to go back first. After thinking for a moment, she walked out of the room and asked Han Shi and Su Chunlin, "Father, Mother, when I was in the county town, I heard people in the city say that soaking wheat seeds before sowing can increase the harvest. Why don't we give it a try?"

"Will this work?" Mrs. Han asked doubtfully, unsure of what to do.

Looking at the subpar wheat seeds, Su Chunlin gritted his teeth and said, "Let's take some to try! Come on, let's get some water!"

The couple quickly called their two sons over to help.

While they were out, Su Tai took all the wheat seeds to the Time-Space Gate transfer station and sold them to the automated trading counter. The counter offered four yuan per jin (0.5 kg), so the 160 jin of wheat seeds sold for 640 coins. Adding the 200 coins she had just earned and her previous balance, she had a little over 1,000 coins, but was still a little short. Helpless, Su Tai had to sell two more sets of clothes and haggle with the seed shop owner to barely scrape together 160 jin of wheat seeds.

Not long after she unearthed the wheat, Su Chunlin and the others returned with water.

To prevent the Han family from noticing anything amiss, Su Tai thoughtfully told them to rest and took over all the work of soaking the seeds.

Catching her breath, Han came over and took a look. She exclaimed in surprise, "Honey, look how big these wheat seeds have gotten! Did they absorb water?"

Su Chunlin nodded repeatedly, "Definitely!"

It was already dark, and they couldn't figure it out.

After the wheat seeds in the pot actually sprouted, the two completely believed Su Tai's words.

Hurry up and get busy with spring plowing.

Su Tai thought of Shen Yi, wondering how he was doing.

Just then, Su Changfu arrived at the door.

"I heard your family has already started planting!" Su Changfu sat down with an envious look on his face.

Su Chunlin was exhausted after a long day, but he smiled and said modestly, "Luckily, my older brother helped us, otherwise we don't know what we would have done!"

Su Changfu nodded and sighed, "You don't need to worry about your family. I'm really furious with those bastards in Ximen Village. I have to go to Shenjiazhuang tomorrow."

When Ximen Village was mentioned, Su Chunlin's face immediately fell, and he sneered, "They're so capable! You don't need to worry about them!"

Su Changfu was speechless. "I really don't want to worry about it! But those troublemakers have been digging a well for more than half a month and haven't even dug a hair out. That old bastard Gao Zhi still has the nerve to come to me for help. Bah!"

"What? You actually agreed?" Su Chunlin stared wide-eyed in disbelief.

Su Changfu was so worried that several strands of his hair turned white. "Can I really just ignore it? If someone dies, I'll be responsible too! But I'm not someone to be trifled with. Before, Shen Yi helped them find a well site, and they didn't give him a single penny. This time, I won't tolerate them either. I directly asked Gao Zhi for two taels of silver."

Tomorrow I'll take these two taels of silver to Shen Yi and talk to him properly to see if he can make the trip again.

Su Tai quickly said from the side, "Uncle, will you take me with you to find Shen Yi?"

"What do you want with him?" Su Chunlin asked instinctively, sounding somewhat anxious.

Su Tai quickly explained, "It's spring planting season! I wonder what the situation is like in Shenjiazhuang. Does Brother Shen have any seeds? I'll go ask on behalf of our family, okay?"

Su Chunlin was speechless, and muttered, "Girls really are more outgoing!"

As soon as Han entered the room, she slapped Su Chunlin and said to Su Tai, "Don't listen to your father's nonsense. It's good to go and see. Shen Yi is the only one in his family, so he might not be able to manage. You can go and help him with some work."

Madam Han was quite satisfied with Shen Yi as her son-in-law and hoped that Su Tai would be diligent so that she would be respected by her husband's family after marriage.
