Chapter 31 Soaking Grain Seeds
  Shen Hao didn't expect that a small leech could be so particular.

Shen Jia then told Shen Zhuoyun, and the three of them cleaned the plowshare and rake together before driving the old cow home.

On the way home, I met Li Hu on a narrow road. He was returning from the fields with his two sons and several daughters-in-law carrying rice.

Sparks of hatred burst out in Li Hu's eyes, he stared at Shen Jia and the other two men fiercely, and said silently: "Bitch, I will deal with you sooner or later."

Shen Jia raised his hand and took a step forward.

Li Hu thought Shen Jia was going to beat him, so he glared at Shen Jia angrily and quickly staggered away carrying the rice.

Even if the other members of the Li family were furious and extremely angry, they did not dare to come forward to argue with Shen Jia. They secretly glared at Shen Jia and left quickly.

Mrs. Wang struggled to carry a load of rice heavier than anyone else and walked at the back. Big beads of sweat fell from her forehead. If you look closely, her eyes are brighter than before.

Shen Jia pouted and raised his middle finger towards their backs.

Shen Zhuoyun sneered, "Oh, Li Hu went to the county to hire part-time workers, but no one was willing to come to their house. Now he has to harvest the rice by himself, and he deserves what he deserves."

"There are so many people working part-time in the county, but no one comes to their home? Why?" Shen Jia asked curiously.

Shen Zhuoyun said sarcastically: "It's not just that their family has a stingy attitude and poor working hours, and the working hours are extremely long. Last year, they hired part-time workers from Li Hu's family during a double robbery, and they paid 25 cents a day, regardless of food, which is the same as their usual wages as part-time workers. There were still some people coming in the beginning. But they usually started working in the morning and finished working in the middle of the day as part-time workers.

As for Li Hu, he wanted people to start working at the beginning of the month of Mao and work until the beginning of Xu, not to mention working an extra hour and a half a day. The Li family also picked and said that one person was slow in doing things, that one was impatient, and the other was lazy. , anyway, everyone has a reason. At the end of the day, they deducted ten cents for various reasons, and everyone got only fifteen cents. I ask, who would be willing to work for such a family? "

"That's right, he worked so hard for them all day long and couldn't bear to give them even a bowl of porridge and water. Anyone who wants to work for them is a fool." Shen Hao said angrily.

"That's right. The Li family's food appearance is too ugly. The county is so big and it spreads from person to person. It's strange that they can hire part-time workers."

When the three of them arrived home, Gu had already prepared the meal.

After dinner, Shen Zhuoyun began to soak the grain seeds. Shen Jia was curious about how he soaked the grains, so he followed him.

Shen Zhuoyun directly poured the rice into a cloth bag, soaked it in water for a while, and then picked it up.

"Dad, don't you need to screen the seeds?" Shen Jia asked.

She remembered watching her mother soaking grain seeds in her previous life and picking out the immature and shriveled grains.

"filter?"

"Well, it means to sort out the immature and shriveled grains, so that you can select high-quality grain seeds, and the rice you grow will have a good harvest."

Shen Zhuoyun's eyes lit up and he asked in a low voice: "Do people in that place need to select grain seeds when farming? You can teach me how to choose."

Shen Jia smiled and said, "Soak in salt water. Use the buoyancy of salt water to pick out the immature grains. Then soak them in warm water for half a day..."

Senior Shen Jia saw that her mother had soaked grain seeds, and she curiously checked online.

Shen Zhuoyun has a strong ability to accept. He thought what Shen Jia said was reasonable, so he followed suit. It seems to have become a habit of the Shen family to hold small meetings in the study after dinner.

Shen Zhuoyun first told the results of his conversation with the county magistrate today.

Then Shen Jia took out the letter.

Shen Zhuoyun took the letter, opened it and read it. He was so angry that he wanted to eat Magistrate Meng alive.

Seeing his livid face, Mrs. Gu hurriedly took the letter and was furious after reading it, "This Magistrate Meng is so bad. He actually came up with such a vicious plan. Not only did he tell Lin Xue our whereabouts, he also exaggerated it. He said how good our life was, and now he is plotting to return to Beijing for revenge? He just wants Lin Xue to send people to kill us, and we don’t have any deep grudge against him, so why would he do this? "

A sneer appeared at the corner of Shen Zhuoyun's lips, "One is to lose face yesterday, and the other is to please Lin Xue and Zhou Shaocheng, hoping to gain their appreciation and promotion. This will be of great help to his future career."

"Dad, didn't Magistrate Meng come from a poor family? How did he know your previous identity?" Shen Hao asked doubtfully.

Shen Zhuoyun sighed quietly, "Although the name change was not widely publicized back then, all the aristocratic families who should know about it know that the person who wrote the letter to Magistrate Meng is the concubine of Uncle Zhongyi, a well-known dandy in the capital, and I once had a relationship. During the festival, he is the son of Zhongyi Bo’s concubine, and he is very favored. It is normal to know this information. I don’t know how he and Magistrate Meng met?”

"Fortunately, Jia'er got this letter back, otherwise we wouldn't have had a happy life." Mrs. Gu stroked her chest and breathed a sigh of relief.

Shen Jia raised her chin proudly, "Not only did I get the letter back, I also brought them gifts."

Everyone in the room looked over and asked, "What gift?"

Shen Jia calmly picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea, with a sinister smile on his face, "Well, it's nothing. I just wrote a letter in imitation of Magistrate Meng's handwriting, complaining about the recipient's light. He collects money but does nothing. He has paid so much money and yet he has not been promoted for so many years..."

After hearing this, Shen Zhuoyun glanced at Shen Jia disapprovingly, "Jia'er, a gentleman should act openly and openly. It's really not the behavior of a gentleman to make things up out of nothing like this."

Before Shen Jia could speak, Shen Hao retorted first: "Dad, I think my sister is doing the right thing. He is in the first grade of junior high school and we are in the fifteenth grade. He is going to deal with us. Why can't we deal with him in turn, tit for tat?" Isn’t it normal? Besides, my sister didn’t accuse him wrongly, Magistrate Meng just gave him money.”

"That is, if others want to use their swords to kill us, how can we talk about being aboveboard? Compassion for the enemy is cruelty to oneself, and it will be over when the day is irreversible. Dad, if we don't take the initiative to harm innocent people, there are people When you are trying to harm us, you must also use some means to protect yourself and the people you want to protect." Shen Jia said calmly.

Shen Zhuoyun was silent for a long time and said: "You are right, we do not take the initiative to harm others, but we cannot be merciful to those who want to harm us."

Shen Hao and Shen Jia looked at each other and smiled.

Shen Yun looked thoughtful, obviously having memorized these words.

Shen An recited this sentence softly, thinking about writing it down tomorrow.

Shen Jia thought of what Shopkeeper Mo said today and asked, "Dad, do you know Rongshan Village?"

Shen Zhuoyun looked puzzled, "Rongshan Village? I heard Wei Yuming say it a few years ago, what happened?"

"Why did Wei Yuming tell you about Rongshan Village?"

"In the early years, many people disappeared in Rongshan Village. Wei Yuming wanted to investigate, but the county magistrate sent a master to investigate. The master came back after investigating and said that the missing people were eaten by tigers. Wei Yuming did not believe it. In the end, he because of this I disagreed with the county magistrate about the matter, and was often suppressed by the county magistrate."
