It is difficult for the farmer's sister

Chapter 387 Contempt for Wang Fa
When Meng Mingzhou came back, he saw Su Rui's siblings holding corn kernels and sniffing them vigorously. He was very curious.

"What are you doing?"

Su Chenrui didn't raise his head, and blurted out without even thinking, "The corn kernels that Master Huang sent to my family this time are delicious..."

Meng Mingzhou was confused, "Master Huang???"

"・・・"

Su Ruixin said, my silly brother, you just revealed the secret of the family?
It was only after Su Chenrui finished speaking that he felt that he had made a slip of the tongue, and hurriedly corrected him, "No, it's not Master Huang, it's yellow corn, yes, it's yellow corn, it's very fragrant."

"This corn kernel is very big, so I call it yellow corn..."

Meng Mingzhou raised his eyebrows, "Oh? Really?"

Su Chenrui nodded sharply, "Well, yes, yes!"

The Su Rui sisters cover their faces and don't look at Su Chenrui's foolishness...
Meng Mingzhou looked at the corn kernels, stepped forward to grab a handful and smelled them, and said, "It's quite fragrant!"

After a pause, he continued, "However, what is this going to do?"

Seeing that Meng Mingzhou was not holding on to Su Chenrui's words, Su Rui hurriedly said, "Isn't this the patriarch's grandfather calling for a meeting this morning?"

"It is said to ask the family to donate at least [-] catties of grain. Any kind of rice, wheat, corn, or sorghum is fine. Rice and wheat are scarce outside. Although our family has them, we can't donate them. That's too eye-catching."

"As for sorghum!"

"Our family has never grown it, and it is impossible to go to the grain store to buy it. Of course, there will be no more!"

Spreading his hands, he said helplessly, "At the end of the day, only corn can be donated!"

Meng Mingzhou nodded, "That's right."

Su Rui was about to be proud, when she turned around and heard Meng Mingzhou continue.

"but·······"

Su Rui answered subconsciously, "But what?"

Meng Mingzhou threw the corn kernels in his hand back into the grain bag, and said lightly, "However, this corn kernel cannot be donated!"

"Even the corn kernels in the warehouse cannot be donated!!!"

"why·······"

Su Rui wanted to ask why, so she suddenly remembered the quality of her own food, and knew that Meng Mingzhou had discovered that the corn kernels in these two bags were different from those in the warehouse and outside!

That's right, it must be different. The corn kernels in the warehouse are directly sown and harvested by her without soaking the seeds in Lingquan water for the sake of efficiency and high yield.

Although it is not as good as soaking in Lingquan water and the fragrance of carefully selected seeds, compared with ordinary corn outside, it is still too good.

In order not to attract the attention of people with ulterior motives, such good corn must not be taken out, it is too eye-catching...
"what!"

Su Rui rubbed her forehead with a headache, thinking painfully, the corn at home cannot be donated, what should I do?Could it be that the corn in a warehouse is not donated, and the bad ones are being bought separately?

At this time, Su Chenrui turned into a silly Baitian, completely unable to hear the meaning behind Meng Mingzhou's words, but looked at Meng Mingzhou strangely and asked, "Cousin Mingzhou, why is this? Why can't you donate it? How good is this corn?" !"

Meng Mingzhou said lightly, "It's because the food at home is so good that it's too conspicuous to take out, so I can't donate it!"

Su Chenrui blinked, and said foolishly, "Oh...so that's how it is!"

Su Qiao covered her face in despair, and said to Su Ying who was beside her, "Second Sister, is he really my brother with the same birth? Why are you so stupid?"

"・・・"

Su Rui didn't expect that her eldest brother would ask such a stupid question.

It is impossible to buy sorghum, let alone corn, Meng Mingzhou thought about it and looked at Su Rui.

"I went to find someone to exchange for these fifty catties of corn!"

Su Rui thought about it, and realized that this was the only way to do it, so she hurriedly said, "Remember to find acquaintances!"

Meng Mingzhou nodded, "I know!"

After finishing speaking, he went out and called Su Cheng, and he carried a 25-jin bag of corn kernels and left.

Three days later, early in the morning, just after dawn, the yamen arranged for four yamen servants to the village.

Because Su's old ancestral hall was located in the very center of the village, the yamen servant asked Su Zheng to open the door and collect grain in the old ancestral hall.

Not to mention the Su family, even though they have a lot of minds in normal times, they quarrel with each other a lot!But in terms of business, it is absolutely unambiguous. After Su Zheng notified that he would donate food, although he was unwilling, even the families whose food was not in short supply gritted their teeth and handed in the food on time. It is very clean and there is no fake.

The Su clan is united to the outside world and does not fall behind, but it does not mean that other clansmen are also united!
The yamen servant who inspected the grain opened one of the grain bags of the Li family in Sujia Village, his face turned dark, and he took the grain bag away without saying a word!
Li's food delivery person watched in bewilderment as the yamen servant carried the food bag, walked up to the leader next to the recorder, whispered in his ear for a while, and then opened the food bag for him to see.

The head of the yamen servant saw that there were countless small clods of different sizes mixed in the good corn, and his face suddenly became gloomy.

He patted the table and shouted, "Where is the person from the Li family who delivered food? Are you gone?"

The members of the Li family, who had been paying attention to the actions of the yamen servants outside, hurriedly responded loudly, "I'm here, I'm here, I haven't left! I haven't left!"

The head of the yamen servant shouted angrily, "Come in quickly if you haven't left!"

The men from the Li family who delivered the food looked at each other, and they all saw confusion in each other's eyes. They didn't understand what the yamen servants told them to do?Obviously, those from the Su family who delivered the food left after delivery, and even the members of the Lin family also left!

However, since the yamen servant called, they still went into the room obediently.

"My lord, what do you want the little people to order?"

The head of the yamen servant threw the grain bag containing the soil clods in front of several people.

"Look for yourselves! What is this handed in?"

Several people looked at each other in blank dismay, at a loss, and wanted to say, what they were asked to hand over was food, so it must be food!But looking at the unwavering faces of the yamen servants, one of them carefully opened the mouth of the grain bag, and they saw the clods inside in a blink of an eye, and there was nothing they didn't understand.

Several people were so frightened that they all knelt down!

"Officer, it's none of our business, we're just responsible for collecting and sending over."

"That's right, sir, we are only responsible for picking up the food at the door, and we haven't opened it to look at it."

"My lord, you have to trust us!"

"My lord, we..."

The head of the yamen servant waved his hands impatiently, "What are you talking about? You dare to openly lie. Even if you don't despise the king's law, it is also the negligence of your Li family. In short, let me go to the yamen. Explain it in front of you!"

When they heard that they were going to see the magistrate, they were so frightened that they fell to their knees and hurriedly kowtowed, crying, "Please forgive me, please, please forgive me, please."

"Officer, we didn't do it!"

"My lord..."
