Rebirth of the poor elder sister-in-law

Chapter 106
It's just that when Liu Man'er said that she wanted to plant wild rice stems and water chestnuts, Fang was not very happy about it. In her eyes, farmers should grow food well, and if they don't grow rice, why grow these messy things?
Liu Man'er didn't think of this before. Anyway, in her eyes, she can just buy the rice, and she doesn't have to grow it herself. She thinks it's not worthwhile to grow the rice. It's much easier and more convenient for her to buy rice that has been pounded by others.

It's also because she is not an out-and-out farmer, and she doesn't have the plot of such a farmer. However, if Fang did not agree at the beginning, she would not have thought of planting these. But at this time, she already wanted to plant water chestnuts and wild rice stems very much.

During this period of time, she has already rehearsed the details of planting water chestnuts and wild rice stems in her heart. She also read about these two planting methods in the book "Qi Min Yao Shu", so these days, she also specially wrote A plan, when to grow buds, when to sow, and when to transplant, she has already thought about it, and now Fang doesn't want to plant it, so what can I do.

In her opinion, there are relatively few people who plant these two kinds of food, because they need to be planted in paddy fields. Country people, who would be willing to waste paddy fields to grow these?Therefore, this is her chance. Planting wild rice stems and water chestnuts will definitely be more cost-effective than growing rice, and it will be easier than growing rice.

But, the problem is, she has no land now.

If they didn't grow any grain, Fang's family might be unhappy, Liu Man'er thought about it, and asked Ye Yuan to go around to find out who had land to sell.

It’s been a year since I’ve been here, and it’s time to buy a piece of land to reward myself, and to commemorate my life this past year.

At this time, it was already a time of starvation. Many villagers lived on sweet potatoes and wild vegetables, but Liu Man'er's family didn't have to worry about these this year. They had already stockpiled food last winter, and they had food every day.

But because of this, at this time, some people were selling fields, Ye Yuan approached Qiao Yuliang, a broker in the town, and entrusted him with this matter.

For this paddy field, one mu of land costs five to eight taels of silver, and Liu Man'er doesn't have much money now, so she decided to buy two mu first, and with the rest of the money, she plans to buy some chickens and ducks to feed them.

Last year, although some small workshops made some money from the preserved eggs, marinated eggs, hunting and selling rabbits and other odds and ends, they were basically spent on building houses, and then they kept buying trees and digging ponds. A lot of money was spent, and a lot was spent during the New Year.

Now she only has more than 20 taels of silver left in her hands. She originally planned to save some more money and buy a shop to do business, but now it is considered to please Fang's favor, so let's buy two acres of land first. .

Buying fields is still very good. After all, fields are real estate, and where there is land, there is food. This era is full of too many uncertainties. Liu Man'er also wants to buy some fields, but it's just a matter of order.

Knowing that Liu Man'er said she wanted to buy a field, Fang was also very happy, and she agreed with this matter with both hands.

A few days later, Qiao Yuliang came to Liu Man'er's house and said that he had heard about the field. There were two pieces of land, one was from the neighboring village and the other belonged to this village.

There is an old man's son in the next village who was admitted as a scholar, and now works as a private school teacher in the town, but this man is going to a higher place. The old man's son wants to use money to clear up the relationship, hoping to be a small official in the county town , so the old man is going to sell the field.

As for this Dawan Village, it is a family named Liu who wants to sell their fields. They are originally from other places, but because they escaped the war, they came here reluctantly. They bought a field and put down roots for decades. Now the owner of this family When I am old, I suddenly want to return to my roots.

Liu Man'er naturally prefers Dawan Village. After all, it is in the same village, and it is more convenient, so the head of the house asked Qiao Yuliang to lead everyone to have a look.

This field is not bad, it is a medium paddy field, the old man offered six taels of silver per mu, Liu Man'er felt that this price was quite suitable, after asking Ye Yuan and Fang's opinion, everyone decided to buy this field.

It's just a measure of the land, which is a full three acres. Liu Man'er originally planned to buy only two acres of land, but it was a whole piece of land, and Old Man Liu thought it was troublesome, so he bought it together if he wanted to.

If I bought this land, I would have no money, but thinking that I am making money every day anyway, I might as well buy it and forget it.

When she first came last year, the family didn't have a penny, so she came here like this, not to mention, the conditions of the family are much better now than last year.

They made a decision to buy the land, paid the money with one hand and the title deed with the other hand, and gave Qiao Yuliang two taels of silver as a middleman fee, invited him to dinner, and asked him to help him file a case in the county seat. That's it.

Now that there is a field, Liu Man'er is very happy, so she can grow her favorite water chestnuts and wild rice on the original acre of land at home.

It's just that it's troublesome to have a field. Liu Man'er doesn't want to grow rice in the new three-acre field. Last year, the one-acre field exhausted her. This year, she really doesn't want to work in the field.

But if she doesn't work and is afraid that people will say that unless no one in the family does it, Liu Man'er thinks about it and plans to plant this field for a servant.

This time she learned to be smart, she didn't tell her herself, she asked Ye Yuan to tell Fang.

After eating that day, Ye Yuan said straight to the point, "Mother, who do you think we will plant here?"

"What did you say?" Fang thought she had heard Ye Yuan's words wrong at first, "Who do you think our land is for?"

"Yes." Ye Yuan nodded, and said: "I may have other things to do this summer, so I'm afraid I don't have time to do the work in the field. After all, the second brother is still young, and he has to be busy feeding meals. Delivery, and I don’t have much energy to farm.”

Ye Yuan said that he had something to do and couldn't farm, but Fang felt that there was only three acres of land for his farmer's family, so there was really no need to hire someone else to plant it.

So she was stunned, and after she realized it, she said, "It's okay, Yuan'er, if you have something to do, you can do it, and Man'er and I can still do farm work at home."

"Man'er had a miscarriage last year because of this matter, and she has to take care of so many rabbits, chickens, ducks, geese, and sheep this year, she is really too busy; mother, you are still young, but we children really don't want I asked you to do heavy work, and, besides, didn’t you still help Man’er marinate eggs and preserved eggs? I also need Xiao Tianchen, I need to trouble you to take care of it.”

Although Ye Yuan didn't talk much on weekdays, Fang always heard what he said. This time, Ye Yuan's words reminded Fang of Liu Man'er's miscarriage last year, and he felt a little guilty, so he said, "Then you can do whatever you want."

"So, who do you think is better for this land to grow?" Ye Yuan said again, "Look at who is reliable in this village, and let the servant grow to whomever."

"It's not easy. I'll give it to Chunhua's family. She has a lot of family members, so it's just right for her." Fang said without hesitation.

"Okay then, when will you come over to talk to her."

"Now." Fang said and shouted outside, "Fu Lu, help me call Aunt Chunhua."

Although the farming season was busy again during this period, Chunhua still worked in Liu Man'er's small workshop. After all, she had a large family and she was not short of her. What's more, she couldn't earn so much money from farming.

The old house is not far from here, Aunt Chunhua came soon, and she brought some sachets along the way, Liu Man'er gave these sachets to Ye He, and then heard Fang talking about this matter with her.

Aunt Chunhua must be very happy when she heard this. Fang said that if their family wants to help them grow, they will give them [-]% of the land. Generally, if they want to help grow the land of the king and landlord, they only get [-]% of the harvest.

"Then I'm going to talk to my man, and let him come and talk to you now." With such a good thing, Aunt Chunhua couldn't wait to go home, about a stick of incense, Aunt Chunhua's man just come over.

Her man is also surnamed Ye, named Ye Changgen, in his forties, and since Aunt Chunhua works in Ye Yuan's house, she also knows about the land purchase by Ye Yuan's house, and he also knows about the land, it is indeed not bad, [-]% Good, so he agreed on the spot.

In their eyes, this kind of land, how much is planted is not planted?It is a great thing to be able to harvest more food if you can grow it. As for [-]% of it belongs to other landlords, they don't care at all.

Liu Man'er knew the hardships of farming, but she was actually very sad, but she was not a philanthropist, and she already had [-]% less rent than the Landlord Wang's family.

After negotiating the matter of the helper farming, Ye Yuan wrote the contract again, which is according to what they just talked about, temporarily giving the three acres of land to his helper for two years, [-]% rent, and after two years Look.

Ye Changgen knew the character of Ye Yuan's family, and he was not afraid of Ye Yuan's deception, so he pressed his fingerprints on the spot. Ye Yuan put away the contract, and it was considered a deal.

After finishing the matter here, Fang sighed, a little melancholy. Although Liu Man'er didn't speak, she was actually very happy in her heart. She really didn't want to farm, and now there is no shortage of these kinds of land. Why do you have to suffer so much for the money from the land?
It's just that Fang Shi still can't change it now, she should be fine in a few days.

Fortunately, this matter was brought up by Ye Yuan, otherwise, Fang would definitely be dissatisfied with herself.

Liu Man'er pays close attention to Fang's emotions, she is afraid that she will have thoughts about herself, although she treats herself very well now, but she can't be too ignorant, now she is no longer the silly girl she used to be, many things, Liu Man'er gradually had some disagreements with Fang's, and Liu Man'er was afraid that Fang's heart would gather complaints.

Although I was stupid in the past, although I often jumped Fang's feet angrily, Fang's decision was at least in the Ye family at that time, but it is different now. Liu Man'er's voice at home is getting bigger and bigger. What, it is still necessary to seek Fang's opinion, but this person will change, what if she is upset because of something?
The old man is like a child, she needs to be coaxed well, as long as she is calm in her heart, everything will be fine, the family will be happy, and Liu Man'er doesn't want Fang to come out to block her decision in the future.

After all, no matter how capable you are, filial piety is as big as the sky in this dynasty, and the orders of parents cannot be violated.
