Space at hand: Pick up a prince to farm

Chapter 82
Song Chen had been leaving early and coming back late recently. Song Dashan had something to tell her, so he was waiting for her in the living room early in the morning.

"Dad, why are you sitting here without having breakfast so early in the morning?" Song Chen was a little curious.

"I'm waiting for you." Song Dashan smiled sheepishly. Compared with his daughter, he seemed a little more impatient.

You can also say it after eating.

Song Chen's eyes turned, "Is it about Shiping Village?"

Song Dashan nodded, "Why don't you go out today? If you don't go out, go have breakfast first, and then talk after breakfast."

Song Chen had planned to go out today, but when Song Dashan said this, she changed her mind, "I'm not going out, I'm going to eat first."

Shopkeeper Cui from Huichun Hall should send someone to deliver a letter by then. She won't go there today. Things in Shiping Village are also very important.

The father and daughter came to the restaurant to eat together, and everyone else had basically finished eating.

In their house, everyone can have breakfast separately, but lunch and dinner cannot be eaten until everyone has arrived. This is the rule set by Song Dashan.

However, Li Wenyan and Wang Sunwei rarely ate with everyone. Firstly, the time for the county examination was tight, and secondly, Li Wenyan was also afraid that everyone would appear restrained when eating with him, so most of the time, Wang Sunwei served the two of them. Bring it in.

Grandpa and grandma had to go back to Wangcun two days ago for something. The Song Wang family was still making breakfast. There was no taboo about eating for a family of four. During the meal, Song Chen asked about Song Dashan.

"Dad, is it true that the mountains over Shiping Village cannot be bought?"

She hasn't gone to see it yet, but she must be relieved to leave the matter to her father. Several days have passed without any news, so Song Chen guessed that there might be a problem.

Song Dashan finished the last bite of porridge in the bowl and put down his chopsticks, "Li Zheng from Shiping Village said that the mountain is Gongshan. If you want to sell it, you have to tell the whole village. If every household agrees, you can sell it." .”

Song Chen knew what was going on as soon as he heard this, "That Li Zheng in Shiping Village is really good at planning."

"Isn't that right? Li Zheng usually has the final say when it comes to selling Gongshan in this village. The family will share some of the money from the sale and keep some in the village. No one will disagree. I have never heard of asking first. It’s up to the whole village to decide, and I think he just wants to get something out of it.”

Song Dashan felt sick when he thought of Zheng's face in Shiping Village.

Song Chen was thinking similar to what Song Dashan said, but she felt a little strange.

People here don’t know the uses of aloe vera. They call it shallots. At most, they just dig it up and plant it at home as a display. If this mountain was in another village, other villagers would be eager to sell it immediately.

Li Zheng from Shiping Village can still keep his composure. Is he too greedy or is he sure that she will buy it?
Or... is it to embarrass her?
"Dad, is there anyone in our village who often walks around Shiping Village?"

Song Chen suddenly felt that Li Zhengtai in Shiping Village was really greedy, and he was sure that she would definitely buy it, and it was more likely that he was trying to embarrass her.

If she really followed the rules of Shiping Village and gave him some money, maybe this would happen.

But Song Chen really didn't like this feeling.

"There are several girls from our village who have married into Shiping Village, and some from Shiping Village have also married into our village. What's wrong?"

"Which family are you talking about? Do we have any festivals with them?"

Song Dashan thought about it carefully, "It's not a festival. Are you asking this because you suspect someone is up to something?"

Song Dashan was not stupid either. When Song Chen suddenly asked about this, he thought of it.

"I have this feeling. Otherwise, if Li Zheng from Shiping Village wants money, can I just give you some hints? Why do you have to find such an excuse to delay me?"

Song Dashan nodded in agreement, "Then what should we do now?"

"Let's put this matter aside for now, and don't go to Shiping Village again. You will know soon, and maybe Li Zheng from Shiping Village will come looking for you."

Anyway, no one except her would buy those mountains now, otherwise they wouldn't be waiting for her to take a fancy to them.

"Then how about I quietly keep an eye on the people in Shiping Village? If someone is really behind the scenes, they will be anxious if there is no news from us."

Song He had been silent all this time, but now he suddenly said something.

But it was exactly what Song Chen wanted.

"Well, this is indeed a good idea, but brother, you don't have the time now."

Song Chen himself couldn't keep an eye on the workshop, Song He couldn't leave.

Song He ignored this question, "What should we do? I don't feel safe finding anyone else."

Song Chen rolled his eyes, "What do you think of Song Ming?"

"Song Ming? You don't want him to go, do you?" Song He still doesn't have a good impression of them.

"Is he dying? I think he is the most suitable candidate. Think about it. He is just a child. First of all, he makes people relax their vigilance. Besides, he used to run around all day, so he is the most suitable person to keep an eye on. In fact, Song Ming is not good at nature. The bad thing is that he has been suppressed by the old Song family and is timid."

"I think Xiaochen is right, Song Ming can do it." Thinking of Song Ming, Song Dashan remembered the last time Boss Song put rat poison in their wine.

If Xiaochen hadn't noticed it in advance, Song Ming's collision would have saved them.

Otherwise, all the people who drank that day will be poisoned, and their whole family will go to jail.

The separation of the old Song family is also a good thing. At least the children who are not bad can be saved.

"This matter cannot be known to others. Are you sure he won't tell others?" Song He still didn't believe Song Ming.

"Then it all depends on your ability, brother." Song Chen said with a smile.

Song He pointed at himself in surprise, "Me? Didn't you ask me to find Song Ming?" Song Chen nodded firmly, "I'll let you find it. Whatever you tell him, it's up to you to think about this matter." My father and I are not involved anymore, so I’m just waiting for the results.”

She must win Aloe Mountain, but she doesn't want to spend an extra penny that she shouldn't.

As for why Song He was asked to do this...

Song Chen also had her own considerations. After all, she was not the real Song family, Song He was. The Song family's affairs would naturally be left to the Song family to handle.

After breakfast, everyone left the table, leaving Song He sitting there alone.

He regretted it, why did he say it?

When he thought of the look Song Chen looked at him when he left, he felt as if his sister had been waiting for him from beginning to end.

Even if he didn't say that, she still had a way to get over this mountain.

But thinking about it this way, things still need to be done.

Before going to the workshop, Song He went next door to find Song Ming. Song Li was digging soil in the small vegetable garden outside, presumably preparing vegetables for the winter.

Song Ming was not seen.

Seeing him, Mrs. Song Li laughed and said, "Xiaohe, why are you here? Are you okay?"

He was used to seeing her ignoring everything, but Song He was still a little uncomfortable with her enthusiasm.

"I'm looking for Song Ming. Is he there?"

Mrs. Song Li turned her head and looked behind her, "Song Ming went up the mountain to collect dry firewood this morning, and he will be back soon."

Mrs. Song Li didn't ask him what he wanted to do with Song Ming. During the time they moved here, their family took good care of them and had no intention of harming them.

Song He nodded, "If you're busy, I'll wait here for a while."

Song Li didn't want to be polite to him. She wanted to clear out the small vegetable garden quickly and plant some vegetables. She heard that Song Chen's workshop was recruiting workers for the second time. She wanted to give it a try. If she was selected, , I won’t have so much time to bother with this in the future.

Song He didn't wait long before he saw Song Ming coming down from the back mountain carrying a bundle of dry firewood.

He picked up a lot of dry firewood, and he seemed to be struggling, but even if he saw his mother, he gritted his teeth and persisted, and did not cry for his mother to help.

This actually made Song He look at him with admiration.

Putting the firewood in the corner, Song Ming took a breath quietly before walking towards the Song River.

"Second brother, why are you here?"

Although he didn't live very far away, Song Ming knew that Song He would not come here unless something happened.

Song He glanced at Song Ming, then at Song Li who was standing aside, "I have something to ask you for help. Let's go over there and talk."

Song Ming did not hesitate and followed Song He to the side, farther away from the Song Li family.

Song He quickly told him about Shiping Village.

Song Ming didn't even think about it, "Second brother, I'll go."

"Then you have to promise not to tell anyone!" If others knew about it and it reached the ears of the people in Shiping Village, it would be considered a disgrace.

"Can't my mother say it too?" Song Ming asked carefully.

Seeing Song He's expression not looking good, Song Ming quickly added, "I don't have to tell my mother everything, but I have to go out every day and I'm afraid my mother will worry."

"If you can think of other excuses, use other excuses. If you can't think of other excuses, just tell your mother."

Song He thought for a while and gave him an answer.

Since both his father and sister think Song Ming is good, they must have a good impression of his mother now, so it doesn't seem to matter if he tells her.

Song Ming was right, he had to go out every day, and his mother would definitely be worried if she didn't know what he was doing every day.

He is also considered filial.

Seeing Song He say this, Song Ming quickly nodded with a smile, "Second brother, don't worry, I promise to take care of this matter for you."

Song He was so amused by his appearance that he couldn't help but laugh. He patted his head gently and said, "Who did you learn this from? You're so arrogant."

Song Ming touched his head and laughed.

Mrs. Song Li watched the interaction between the two from a distance and also laughed.

If Song Ming could build a good relationship with Song He and the others, his life would be easier in the future. Not to mention that he would have to rely on Song He and the others for a living, but no matter what, when something happened to him, Song He and the others would at least not just watch and ignore him.

After Song He left, Song Ming came to Song Li's side and said, "Mom, my second brother asked me to do a favor. He may have to go out every day these days."

"Well, your second brother asked you to help, so you have to handle the matter for your second brother." The other Song Li family did not ask.

"I will."
