The evil sister is in charge, and the mother is getting married

Chapter 23 Must Pay
Sheng Wanqiu was so happy that she was beaming with joy. It was only nine taels!
It’s also very cheap.

The head of the village wrote the receipt and signed the deed, and then he would go to the government office to get it stamped tomorrow.

"Wanqiu, whose name should be written on this land deed?" The village head was a little hesitant and didn't know how to start for a moment.

Originally, the names of all the men in the family were written. Now Sheng Wanqiu’s father is gone, and her grandfather has long since turned to ashes. Should her brother’s name be written?

"Write my name. Whoever pays for it will write it!"

"If my brothers are incompetent, there's no point in writing their names. They'll all be squandered sooner or later."

Sheng Wanqiu made the decision directly.

Sheng Wanqiu looked at the warm title deed in her hand. She just needed to go to the town to get it stamped tomorrow. This would then be considered her purchase of a house and land in this dynasty.

She had already decided what to plant in the field near the back mountain. Planting medicinal herbs was only part of the goal; planting watermelons was her ultimate goal.

Wandering around Sishui town these days, she had discovered that everything was sold in this era, except for almost no fruit, and if there was any, it was at most melons.

She has the magic spring water, and if she grows fruit, she will become rich in no time.

She doesn't have other fruit seeds yet, so she'll try planting some watermelons and carrots first. When she goes to the town to get the stamp tomorrow, she'll go to the white-bearded old man's pharmacy to see if there are any other seeds.

What she didn't know was that when she walked out of the pharmacy with the silver note, Ding Dali immediately sent a pigeon message to tell her how difficult it was for him and how he spent 20,000 taels of silver to find a thousand-year-old ginseng. He even shed tears of excitement when he talked about it.

It was impossible for him to cry. The tear stain was just created by him deliberately smearing it with salt water.

This shows how difficult it is to find this ginseng. Maybe that gentleman will be so happy that he will give him more silver!
I am so happy to exchange these four thousand taels for twenty thousand taels. It would be strange if I could cry. Even if I did, they would flow from the corners of my mouth.

In the evening, the second daughter and the youngest daughter of Sheng Dashan's family in Qingshan Village came back with their eldest sister. Sheng Zhaodi's leg was bitten off by a wild boar.

The other two people were also injured. Finally, the wild boar was scared away when it heard the wolf's howl, and Sheng Zhaodi survived.

The people in the village were suddenly frightened when they saw three people covered in blood. When they saw clearly that they were the three daughters of Sheng Dashan's family, they quickly ran over to report the news.

"Oh my God! How could this person be alive after being bitten like this?" An aunt exclaimed with her hands covering her mouth.

"Liu Juan must have known that Wanqiu had dug up ginseng in the back mountain, and she was jealous! She asked her own daughters to go digging as well, and now all three of them went. Bah! They are obsessed with money!" An old lady said it all, and her words were almost exactly the truth.

"Wanqiu learned this from the one-eyed hunter before. Have you forgotten? That one-eyed hunter came from the battlefield!"

"Wanqiu must have learned a lot of real skills from him. How can an ordinary girl compare to her?"

"You really value money over life. Now that your leg is bitten off, you won't be able to find a husband in the future!"

The people in the village were talking to each other, and when the village chief came and saw this scene, his lips trembled with fear.

Tragic! It was truly tragic. The Sheng family's eldest daughter's leg bones were exposed. This leg was definitely not going to be saved.

Why go to the mountain when you can do that?!
Let’s see who dares to go there in the future.

Seeing others taking advantage of their own teeth, they always thought they were lucky, but now they know how serious it is. "Ah! My Zhaodi! What happened to you!" Liu Juan almost fainted when she saw the look on her three daughters' faces.

She bit her tongue hard to stay conscious, and threw herself on her eldest daughter and howled.

Sheng Dashan also stood behind her with a look of horror on his face. It was over now. His eldest daughter's leg could not be saved. The bones were exposed, and she would definitely not be able to find a husband in the future.

"What are you still crying about? Hurry up and hitch a cart and send her to the town clinic!" The headman's voice was almost splitting. This family just knew how to cry. Can't they see that their daughter is still bleeding?
You're all standing here like a piece of wood, waiting for your child to die before you can feel at ease, right?

Sheng Dashan finally seemed to react and followed the village head to the home of Chen Erzhuzi, the only one in the village who had an ox cart.
Soon an ox cart was borrowed, and Chen Erzhu drove the cart himself. The onlookers hurriedly carried the unconscious Sheng Zhaodi up. Sheng Dashan followed the ox cart and took the village head to Sishui Town.

"Laidi, tell mom what's going on with you!" Liu Juan then remembered to ask her daughter.

"Mom, we encountered a wild boar. My younger sister discovered it. When the wild boar rushed over, my elder sister was squatting on the ground looking for ginseng. We were too far away from her and didn't have time to call her before she was knocked down by the wild boar!"

“Woo woo woo woo! We were far away at the time, so we quickly climbed up a tree and escaped!”

"Finally, the howling of wolves was heard and the wild boar left. Only then did we dare to come down to look for our eldest sister. Woo woo woo! I was so scared!"

"My eldest sister was covered in blood and had fainted. We had to drag her back with branches. Woohoo, mother! I never want to go up the mountain again!"

Sheng Lai Di tearfully told the whole story, and Sheng Pan Di was trembling all over. She was young and had been frightened out of her wits.

When the onlookers heard that Sheng Wanqiu had dug ginseng in the back mountain, they all wanted to go and see for themselves, hoping that they could dig ginseng too.

Now it’s good, there are both wild boars and wolves, what’s the point of going there! Who would complain about having a long life?
Everyone started to back off. Compared to money, their own lives were more important.

When they heard that the three sisters of the eldest sister of the Sheng family were driven up the mountain by Liu Juan, they all looked down on Liu Juan. What kind of person is she!

He didn't go himself and let his three daughters go. He was really bold.

"It's all that little bitch Sheng Wanqiu's fault. If she hadn't dug up the ginseng, I wouldn't have been so anxious to urge you to go up the mountain!"

"I'll go find her and she'll have to pay me!"

Liu Juan hit him hard and ran back immediately.

The two daughters quickly followed, holding hands, and other villagers who wanted to watch the fun also followed.

There weren't many entertainment activities in ancient times, so it's a waste not to go here if you want to have fun!
"Mrs. Song, don't you want to go and take a look? Your husband is not here, so your words are the most effective here. Don't you want to go?"

"I'm not going! Wanqiu is not someone you can easily bully."

"I still have to go back and give my grandson a bath, so I'll leave first!"

He did the evil himself and blamed it on Wanqiu, but he behaved himself after being beaten.

As expected, good things don't work, but bad things do. When Liu Juan was kicked over by Sheng Wanqiu, Mrs. Song was already at home distributing the cakes that Sheng Wanqiu had sent in the afternoon to her grandson.
