Chapter 235

From the beginning of winter last year to now, there have been a few light rains, with a few snowflakes floating, and the ground is not soaked. The wheat seedlings and rapeseed in the ground lack the supply of rainwater, and their growth is much worse than in previous years. Even if the weather is good for the next period, the output may be much worse than in previous years.

The Sang family has not much land. After harvesting, the tax grain was paid. If the remaining grain was replaced with coarse grains, it would be barely enough for the family to make a living. Since the autumn harvest of the previous year, the Sang family has never changed the coarse grains. The grain was not enough for half a year, so they need to buy grains in the town.

The money spent on buying grain is nothing to the current Sang family, but if a drought really occurs, wheat and rapeseed may not be able to be collected, so they must store grain in advance. If God is willing to live a way for the farmers and eventually the rain will relieve the drought, it is okay to keep or sell these reserved grains, which is more cost-effective than buying high-priced grains after a drought.

Mulberry leaves have discussed with the ancient locust before whether there will be drought. The ancient locust said that there will be a winter drought in the adjacent prefectures and will affect it. It cannot guarantee that it will only remind the mulberry leaves to be prepared for drought, and there will be no harm in being prepared for any eventuality.

Sang Ye thought so too, so he took advantage of the fact that his mother and her family were all there today to mention the matter of storing grain.

The drought caused the originally relaxed atmosphere to become tense, especially Mu's family stopped eating melon seeds, and asked nervously: "It won't really cause drought, right? Forget the crops in the field, the seedlings in the flower fields must not die of drought, otherwise all the efforts spent before will be in vain."

When the people who had never thought of this before heard this, their faces became a little serious. They looked at Sangye at the same time, hoping that she could come up with an idea. As Mu said, the crops in the fields could die of drought, and the seedlings in the fields could not be in trouble. That is the hope for the Sang family to prosper!

"There is little possibility of severe drought. Those flower seedlings will not die. Besides, the wells dug are not decorations. Even if there is no water in the pond, the water in the well will be a little bit." Mulberry leaves are not very worried about the flower seedlings. She is even more worried that a drought will affect the yield and quality of wild flowers, and then affect the flower sauce.

"That's good, that's good. As long as the seedlings are fine, other problems will be easy to deal with." Others were not thinking about Mulberry Yeyuan. When they heard that the flower seedlings had little problem, they felt relieved and decided to spend more time on those seedlings before the winter drought crisis was lifted.

Sang Lin said again: "Do we still need to do the business of bitter intestine grass? Before, someone in the village asked about the use of bitter intestine grass. I am afraid that after the beginning of spring, our family would not have to hire someone to dig it, so someone would dig it and sell it themselves."

Mulberry leaves had long anticipated this situation and said indifferently: "Most bitter intestine grass grow in the deep mountains. Even if someone dares to dig, they must first know the effectiveness of bitter intestine grass and open up the sales. Otherwise, even if they are dug into mountains, they will be just a pile of weeds."

Speaking of this, Sang Ye looked at his family and continued: "The effect of bitter intestine grass will spread sooner or later. It can block those people inquired again and again. If the number of times is too many, it will arouse the dissatisfaction of most people. Instead of doing this, it is better to let them dig it. Let's buy the bitter intestine grass in their hands and hand it over to Dr. Zhao to make the difference in the middle."

"No!" As soon as Sang Ye's words came out, they immediately received opposition from everyone. Sang Lin stood up excitedly and unconsciously raised the volume: "Bitty sausage grass earns more than flower sauce. If the villagers were asked to snatch the business away, our family would only make the difference, and the loss would be huge."

Sang Ye glanced at his second brother, picked up the teacup and drank a sip of water, and said slowly: "Bitty intestine grass grows in the mountains. Even if our family realizes its effectiveness, the villagers will not think that this is our business! Seeing that our family made a lot of money with a bunch of weeds, they will only feel unbalanced and then become resentful. When this resentment accumulates to a certain level, it will be when our family is in trouble!"

This is not an exaggeration, it is different from flower sauce. Even if the villagers have ideas about flower sauce, they see their own workshops and flower fields, and subconsciously think that this is their own unique business, and they cannot make the secret recipe for flower sauce.

But bitter intestine grass is a homeless thing, and you won’t buy land to plant it. In the eyes of the villagers, you can make a lot of money with it, and they can do it too. If you dominate the business of bitter intestine grass, it will only arouse the villagers’ disgust.

As long as you want to gain a foothold in Lijia Village, you can only give up the business of bitter intestine grass. After all, the effect of bitter intestine grass

It is impossible to keep the effect hidden all the time. Instead of doing this, it is better to give part of the benefits to the village.

This seems that my family has suffered a great loss, but in the long run, my family has taken advantage of it.

Sang Ye put down the teacup and looked at the thoughtful second brother, reminding him: "Businessmen should look at it longer-term. Second brother should know that only the business of flower sauce is the foundation of our family. Abandoning some of the people next to him will not shake anything, otherwise it will only cause big trouble."

These words made Sang Lin fall into deep thought again. After a while, he breathed a sigh of relief and said to Sang Ye: "Listen to you. I will tell the truth next time someone asks me."

Sang Ye shook his head, feeling that his second brother was still a little tender: "Our family has a contract with Dr. Zhao, and the villagers know that the effect of bitter intestine herbs will be sold to another family. In this way, our family will breach the contract! If someone asks you later, just tell the contract and then propose to purchase bitter intestine herbs at a high price. It is best to inform the village chief of this matter, and the village chief will arrange it uniformly."

The village chief cannot refuse things that can bring benefits to the village, and will only arrange them better than they imagined!

Sang Lin's eyes lit up and he nodded repeatedly: "Okay, when the Chinese New Year is over, I will go and talk to the village chief."

After finalizing this matter, Sang Ye asked about buying land again. When he learned that his second brother had inquired about it before the New Year, he had no suitable land to buy for the time being, so he reminded him to be more alert and take down the land once he encountered an opportunity.

On that day, Sang Ye and Zheng Lin stayed at Sang's house until the sun went down, had a sumptuous dinner, and then took Huan'er back home with the stars all over the sky, and brought back the fat group, the follower.

The coward, Fat Group, may know that it would cause riots when he appeared alone, so even if he knew where the Zheng family was, he had never gone back and forth alone. Especially when the Sang family had black group gray group to accompany it, he could only make trouble in the yard at the Zheng family, so he was more willing to stay in the Sang family.

This time I was about to go to the Zheng family. Maybe I haven't seen the shoveler for too long, so I followed me after I couldn't bear it.

The return of the Fat Group was immediately warmly welcomed by Duohua siblings. Even Niu Niu changed her previous fear and took the courage to touch the Fat Group's big head.

In contrast, the naughty child Fu Xiaoqiang was much more cowardly. He suddenly saw the big guy, Fat Group, so scared that he hid behind Zheng Chunxiang and shivered, and he didn't dare to come out no matter how hard he pulled it.

There was no way. The fat group tidied up Fu Gui and others who had rushed to their home last time. After hearing about it, Fu Xiaoqiang had a huge shadow on the fat group. Now it was good to see it with his own eyes and not crying.

Today, Zheng Chunxiang is still here to pay New Year's greetings with two children alone, and Sang Ye is not surprised. Seeing that her sister-in-law is in good spirits, she asked a few more questions. When she learned that no one in the Fu family was sorry for her, she felt relieved and talked with her for a while until she was sleepy and couldn't sit still. She was urged by Zheng Lin and Meng and others to go back to her room.

Zheng Lin and Zheng Chunxiang had no topics to talk about, so they followed Sang Ye back to the room. The two of them simply scrubbed their bodies and got into the quilt. Sang Ye was nestled tightly in Zheng Lin's warm arms like before, and soon their eyelids narrowed.

But before she could fall asleep, she remembered something again, and asked with her eyes wide open: "It's the fourth day of the New Year tomorrow. When will your friends come to pay New Year's greetings?" She was still a little scared, and she was afraid that those people would suddenly appear at home, and she showed off her feet without preparation.

Zheng Lin understood his wife's uneasiness and stroked her head and said warmly: "No surprise, I will come on the sixth day of the lunar calendar! Don't worry, they won't recognize you, there will be no problem."

"Yeah," Sang Ye nodded, wanting to ask something, but his mind was in chaos and he fell asleep without turning around.

Zheng Lin was still waiting for her next words, but she didn't hear her voice for a long time. When she looked down, she realized that she had fallen asleep completely. She couldn't help but shake her head and laugh. She took a kiss on her forehead and put out the oil lamp at the head of the bed, hugged the person in her arms and fell asleep deeply.

The Zheng family has not many close relatives. In the past two days of the fourth and fifth day of the lunar month, they should have gone to the houses of Meng's sisters to pay New Year's greetings, but they were all too far apart and didn't walk around for many years. There was no need to pay homage to this year. Sang Ye and Zheng Lin stayed at home and did not go out.

On the fourth day of the lunar month, the third wife of the Meng family returned to worship. But for some reason, Xu Meizi, who had no direct relationship with the Zheng family, came. The name of the arrival was particularly unique, and she said she was thinking about Sang Ye.

I couldn't help but come to visit me with my cousins.

Although I don’t believe this reason, the visitors are guests and the New Year is celebrated. Mulberry leaves welcomed the arrival of plums.

However, when Meizi greeted Meng's New Year, Sang Ye sensitively found that her mother-in-law's expression was not right. She suppressed her doubts and took this matter to heart, and planned to ask her mother-in-law carefully after she left.

As the master, Sang Ye naturally had to entertain several cousins ​​from the Meng family. Fortunately, the few of them were of the same age and had common topics to talk about, and the atmosphere was quite lively for a while.

Zheng Lin is a man, so it is difficult to stay with a few cousins ​​and wives, so he took a few cousins ​​to another yard. Old Man Zheng knew that his eldest son was talking less, so he followed him without thinking that the atmosphere was too awkward.

Meng cooked dumplings in the kitchen, and spent a few more to take her cousins ​​to play in the yard. Even Huan'er was pulled as a "strong man" to greet a few boys of similar age.

Huan'er was humble and polite. Meizi looked at it for a while and said enviously to Sang Ye: "Sister Sang can teach children, but it looks different from those slanderous children."

When several sisters-in-law of the Meng family heard this, their faces were not very good. The children were all good at home. Although they knew that Mei Zi was telling the truth, they felt uncomfortable when they heard it. This is also a natural thing for human beings.

Sang Ye felt this keenly. She looked at Mei Zi deeply, and there was no joy in her face after being praised: "Sister Mei Zi has never raised a child. I don't know that children are so pretty. I wish Huan'er was as lively as a few nephews, so as not to stay at home all day without a child, and I can just be worried."

Mei Zi changed her face when she said this, especially the word "I haven't raised a child". It was like a knife stabbing her heart, and she felt bloody when she moved.

"Yes, is it? I really don't know this!" Mei Zi's face was a little stiff, she said with a smile or not, as if someone was bullying her.

Several sisters-in-law of the Meng family shouted "happy" in their hearts, especially the three daughters-in-law in the big house. Mei Zi, who had been used to pretending to behave, was disliked, but with the Xu Buddha, the big Buddha, they dared not show dissatisfaction.

Now that Mei Zi was criticized by Sang Ye, the few of them were only happy. How could they stand up for Mei Zi to say that Mang Ye was not?

Sang Ye seemed not to see Mei Zi's abnormality, and secretly stabbed her again: "It doesn't matter, Sister Mei Zi is still young and will give birth sooner or later. When Sister Mei Zi raises the child, you will understand."

Mei Zi's face turned green and her eyes were red, as if she had been bullied. She looked at Sang Ye and suddenly said aggrievedly: "What Sister Sang taught her is that I said the wrong thing, I'll apologize to you."

As she said that, she was about to stand up and apologize to Mangye.

"What's going on?" At this moment, Zheng Lin came over and frowned and asked his wife, following him were the Meng brothers.

Sang Ye glanced at Mei Zi meaningfully. She shook her head at her man, and her defense line for Mei Zi was slightly higher.

Meizi stood up and blocked Sang Ye, and said in tears: "Brother Zheng, it's me that said the wrong thing. It's not about Sister Sang's business. Don't blame her."

When Zheng Lin heard this, his brows frowned deeper, and he went over Mei Zi and asked his wife with a bad face: "Have she annoyed you when she said the wrong thing?"

Meizi was delighted and hurriedly lowered her head to hide her pride and ambition in her eyes.

Sang Ye's eyes rolled, and he opened his eyes and told lies: "Sister Meizi said that Huan'er was not solid enough. I felt uncomfortable when I listened to it. I was always worried that Huan'er, the child, would be a nerd."

Mei Zi's lips curled up suddenly stiffened on her face. She raised her head and looked at Sang Ye in disbelief. She couldn't believe that Sang Ye dared to turn black and white in front of so many people. She was clearly praising the scoundrel. When did she say that the scoundrel is not solid enough?

Thinking that he might be trapped by the surname Sang, Meizi hurriedly looked at his cousin's wife, hoping that his cousin's wife could speak fairly for him and prove his innocence.

Unfortunately, the sisters-in-law of the Meng family were eager for her to fall in love with melons. Even if they knew that Mangye had misinterpreted her meaning, they would never open the mouth. They turned their heads and pretended not to see it.

Zheng Lin already thought Mei Zi had ulterior motives, and her face suddenly became darker.

His sharp eyes seemed to penetrate Meizi: "You are not your turn to be an outsider to say that the child of the Zheng family said, don't let me hear you say these things you shouldn't say again!"
