Farmhouse vicious stepmother, she is super fierce

Chapter 28
I don't know how Lizheng taught Wu Dahui and Zhao Chunhua a lesson at home. Early the next morning, Mrs. Lizheng came to the door with the two couples, two loads of rice and two baskets.

First press the couple to make amends to Shen Jiayan, and then explain the purpose of coming. He only said that last year's harvest was mediocre, with two acres and four quarters of paddy fields. Last year, a total of [-] catties of millet were harvested. According to the [-]% rent, you have to pay [-] It's just the grain of rice.

It's just that their family has a large population, and there is only enough food to eat. Now it is the time when the crops are scarce, and there is really not much food left in the family, so I first picked a hundred catties of millet.

The remaining three hundred catties were converted into silver coins, a total of one tael of silver, plus half a basket of eggs in the two baskets, and a basket of soybeans, mung beans, and sorghum, each filled with a small cloth bag.

Although there are not many, it is also a little thought from Wu Dachui's family, and I hope Shen Jiayan will not be disgusted.

Mrs. Lizheng was here to say good things for Wu Dachui's family, but Wu Dachui and Zhao Chunhua could still see the pain on their faces.

One hundred catties of millet and one tael of silver were gone all at once, and there were so many good things, it was as if they had cut their flesh, how could they speak nice words or show a good face.

The old woman was so angry that she rolled her eyes. If her man hadn't told her to, she wouldn't have wanted to come.

Enduring his anger, he comforted Shen Jiayan with a few words, reassuring her that the Lizheng family remembered her well, and naturally they would not treat the Mu family badly if anything happened in the village in the future.

Shen Jiayan also followed suit with a few words of politeness, happily collected the things, and sent the person out of the gate.

When I turned around and went back to the courtyard, I saw the three siblings of the Mu family looking around at the rented child sent by the Wu family.

The three of them, brothers and sisters, were raised pampered in the city before. Even if they came to the countryside and never worked in the fields, how would they know the yield of an acre of paddy fields?

It's just that Mu Tianze vaguely knew something. The Wu family hadn't sent a renter to the Mu family in the past few years. Looking at such a few things, he knew that the Wu family had made a lot of money.

But Shen Jiayan happily accepted it, and canceled all the previous rent.

If it was before, he would definitely feel that Shen Jiayan had no knowledge at all, and his eyes were shallow, so he bought her off with such a little thing.

But thinking of what Shen Jiayan said yesterday, he probably guessed that this Wu Dachui is Li Zheng's brother-in-law, and Li Zheng naturally wants to protect his family and talk, if it is true, even if Li Zheng can force Wu Dachui's family to pay all the rent Hand it in, it's too easy to trip up the Mu family in private in the future.

It's better not to do everything right before you are sure that you can completely crush people to death.

Didn't you say that you should stay on the front line so that we can meet each other in the future?

I just couldn't help but think in my heart, if my father was still alive, how could a little Lizheng dare to treat them like this?Now that he has bullied their family like this, he just wiped it off in such an understatement, but because he knows that there is no one in Mu's family now, and he is still young.

Thinking of this, I miss the time when my father was still alive. At that time, even if my father was far away at the border, as long as he was alive, he was their reliance.

Lowering his head, Mu Tianze's eye circles were a little red.

When Shen Jiayan came in, he didn't look at them much. He took a general look at the items, thought about it, and directly pushed the one tael of silver to the three brothers and sisters of the Mu family: "You are going to travel far away, so it is more appropriate to bring money. I will give you the silver! I will keep the grains and the coarse grains."

Mu Tianze hesitated for a moment. They are penniless now. Although they have things left by their father, they are not in their own hands now. When they go to the city, they will have to spend money. This tael of silver will be able to be paid by then. Come in handy.

Therefore, she was shy for a while, and put the money away, and said in a low voice: "Wait, when we get to the city, get my father's things, and the one we agreed to give to you, we will definitely not renege on it! When the time comes, I'll ask someone to bring it back to you—"

Shen Jiayan waved her hand, she didn't want to touch anything left by the original owner's dead cheap husband.

If possible, she doesn't want to get involved with anything in the Mu family, but the dowry of the original owner is almost all attached to the three brothers and sisters of the Mu family. Makes sense.

At that time, she will go to the mountains to collect mountain products, and there will be rents to collect, and then she will find a way to start some business to earn some money. With money in hand, where can she go?
Shen Jiayan thought happily, and moved the millet, coarse grains and eggs back to her house. With these things, she wouldn't have to worry about running out of food for at least a month or two.

Mu Tianze did not expect that Shen Jiayan would refuse to accept what his father left behind. That attitude, fearing that he would avoid it, made it very clear that she did not want to have any more contact with the Mu family.

For a moment, I couldn't tell what it was like, there was anger, relief, and a little bit of panic and panic.

But Shen Jiayan can't take care of their siblings anymore, with the compensation from the Li family and the tenant from the Wu family, the three siblings have enough to eat and drink, so naturally she doesn't have to worry about it.

She continued to go up the mountain to pick the mountain products, and the bamboo shoots in that bamboo forest were almost broken by her. Even if the bamboo shoots were dried, they would not be worth much.

Instead, on a small hillside, a piece of Morinda officinalis, also known as Jichangfeng, was found in traditional Chinese medicine.

Shen Jiayan is fairly familiar with this medicine, and once helped someone buy wine.

In modern times, there is a folk saying that "there is ginseng in the north and Morinda officinalis in the south", which can only be found in tropical or subtropical forests and is extremely valuable.

I didn't expect it to exist in this mountain, but it was a surprise.

This Morinda officinalis vine is quite common, but it is not easy to dig out its underground roots.

Even if inexperienced mountain people know this medicinal material, it is not easy to dig it out, because although there are many vines on the ground, but when digging along the vines, nine times out of ten they will not be able to dig out the roots below.

However, Shen Jiayan happened to know how to judge whether there is Morinda officinalis below based on the vines on the ground.

The best harvest season for Morinda officinalis is autumn and winter, and it's already spring now, but it doesn't prevent Shen Jiayan from digging up a little bit first, drying it in the sun, and taking it to the town to ask the price.

If the price is right, it will be an income in the future.

The vines of Morinda officinalis like to climb on the bushes in dense forests. You have to follow the vines to find the roots, and then see if the vines are hollow, then there will be Morinda officinalis underneath.

If the vine is solid, then naturally there is nothing underneath.

Just drilling around in the dense forest and shrubs is extremely hard. There are many thorns in the dense forest and shrubs. If you are not careful, you will be covered with bloodstains on your hands and face.

That's all, the hardest thing is that you search for a long time in the bushes, maybe this piece of vines is solid, there is no Morinda officinalis underneath, it is completely useless.

But this is not bad, at least it is better than digging up the hillside to find nothing.

Shen Jiayan's luck is pretty good, probably because the villagers around here don't know how to gather herbs, and they don't know how to judge whether there are roots under the vines of Morinda officinalis.

In this small piece of Morinda officinalis, there are seven or eight vines that are hollow underneath. Follow the vines all the way down, then dig up the soil, and slowly dig out along the direction of the stem.

Fortunately, I dug out more than a dozen plump Morinda officinalis, one by one, like chicken intestines, so it is also called chicken intestine wind.
