Farmhouse Golden Phoenix

Chapter 54

Su Qinghe was not happy for a few days, and then something happened again - the corn in the field was secretly broken away again.

Looking at the corn plants with only the stalks left, and the trampled plants in the middle, the mouths of the Su family members almost crooked. Fifty corn plants were torn apart just like that!The person who stole the corn was quite smart, he only broke it from the middle of the ground, and never touched the edge at all.

If Su Jingsen hadn't thought of counting the total number of corn plants in the field on a whim before, he would never have found it!
"I originally thought that since the elders said that, no one would come to steal the corn again. I didn't expect that the thief would still be thieves!" Su Jingsen said viciously, Su Qinghe pursed her lips, her face darkened for a long time before she said: " Dad, the senior elder said before that if we caught the people who stole the seeds, we would make them compensate according to the price of our corn. I guess they were calmed down at that time, but shopkeeper Yang took a lot of corn from our house a few days ago. Someone must have seen it at the time, and then they were jealous, maybe they came to steal our corn, and wanted to sell it in the town secretly!"

Mrs. Su Zhang also nodded: "That must be the case. Two days ago, many people came to ask me how much our corn sold. I just fooled it. I didn't expect that these people are so wicked!"

"Otherwise, let's let Lao Wu pay attention to see who else sells corn in the town besides the Yang family?" Su Zhang paused, then turned to look at Su Jingsen, Su Jingsen waved his hand: "They will definitely not be in Dafeng Town It might be sold to Taiping Town, or Tonglin Town a little further away. We have no proof, even if we catch someone, I'm afraid they will bite back."

Su Qinghe also nodded: "That's right, they can also be said to have bought it from shopkeeper Yang's shop, and then sold it elsewhere."

"Then what should we do? Let's forget it?" Su Zhang frowned and asked very annoyed. Su Jingsen frowned and looked at it for a long time, then turned and walked outside: "I'll go to the elder's house to say something, if it doesn't work, call the elder brother Third brother and the others, let’s patrol at night and last for half a month. If we can catch the person who stole the corn, let the elders give us justice. If we can’t catch it, say that our corn seeds are not for sale Let’s see who in the village dares to cover up the corn thief.”

Mrs. Su Zhang thought for a while, and could only nod her head: "I will tell others later that our corn has been stolen, so we don't have enough seeds. We won't sell corn seeds this year. There will always be people who want to buy them. Somebody told us who stole the corn."

Su Qinghe was useless at all, her parents decided on the method with a few words, and she could only run errands to deliver food to the fields every day.Fortunately, the peanuts are not harvested yet, so the field is not very busy.

However, the uncles, the second uncle, and the third uncle could not be allowed to help in vain, so Su Jingsen promised that when the peanuts in the field were harvested this year, the day laborers hired by the family would also help them.It can be regarded as worth the fatigue of these days, just in line with Su Sanbo's wishes.On the contrary, Uncle Su and Uncle Su even declined, but Su Jingsen insisted on accepting it.

"The fourth family, are you here?" Just after Mrs. Su Zhang talked to Mrs. Su and Mrs. Su, someone came to the door. Mrs. Su answered while opening the door, and saw the aunt who had come to their house to ask for corn seeds before. Stand outside the door.

"Auntie, do you have anything to do?" Mrs. Su Zhang let people into the yard with a smile, and ordered Su Qinghe, who was standing next to her, to bring boiled water from the room.As soon as the body sat down, he asked, "How is your corn production this year?"

"The yield is pretty good. Although I haven't weighed it yet, I have planted more than sorghum, and the seeds produced are bigger than sorghum. It is estimated that the yield is higher than that of sorghum." Su Zhang said with a smile, The aunt immediately asked: "Before you said that you would sell the seeds to the people in the village when the corn was harvested, is that true?"

"Hey, auntie, we also want to take it seriously. Think about it, our old Su family has lived in Liucun for generations. In our Liucun, less than half of the people have the surname Su, and we sell the seeds to everyone. , how can our family form a good relationship, right?"

Mrs. Su Zhang said, and the aunt nodded quickly: "That's what I said. Your Su family is prosperous. I see that your two sons are also very clever and clever. They will be high officials in the future, so they must I asked my family to help with things, and if you have a good relationship now, it will be easier to find someone in the future."

Su Zhangshi nodded, and then, the circles of his eyes were a little red, and he grabbed the other sleeve and pressed the corner of his eyes with one hand, with an angry and sad face: "That's what I said, but, that damned thief..."

The aunt immediately became a little anxious: "Thief? What's wrong with the thief?"

"Grandma, don't ask, my mother is very sad." Su Qinghe immediately stepped forward, her face full of resentment: "I don't know whose thief broke away a lot of our corn. I have already signed a contract with shopkeeper Yang, and sold all the corn except seeds to shopkeeper Yang. Now that the corn has been stolen, shopkeeper Yang is indispensable, otherwise our family will have to sue In this way, the shopkeeper Yang has enough management, and the seeds are not enough."

The aunt's face changed several times: "You said the seeds are not enough?"

"Yeah, Grandma, you know that my father went to the elders the day before yesterday, right? The elders went with my father to look in the field. The corn in my house was broken away, and it was ruined in the middle." A large piece of land, it’s a pity that the corn hasn’t grown yet.”

Su Qinghe said angrily: "In this way, there will not be many seeds left, and we will not be able to sell them to people in the village, my grandfather's, my uncle's, my second uncle's, my third uncle's, and my uncles and aunts. Auntie, I said before that I was going to give away some of the seeds, but this is not enough, where did the seeds come from and sold to the people in the village?"

The aunt's face was tense, as if Su Qinghe's family owed her 100 taels of silver, it was ugly to death.

"Your family really doesn't have enough seeds? Can't shopkeeper Yang be considerate?" After a long time, the aunt asked, and Su Zhang pushed Su Qinghe: "Go to the backyard to see your cotton, my lord Talk, children, don't make trouble."

After Su Qinghe retired, she heard Su Zhang say: "How can shopkeeper Yang be considerate? My aunt also knows that all the shops in the town now have to increase tax money, and shopkeeper Yang has no money, so he just waits. I want to sell the corn so that I can turn around the shop. Besides, the contract is clearly written, but no one can fake it. If we don’t make up the amount, we will definitely face a lawsuit in the future, and maybe we will have to be locked up By then, this corn field will probably belong to the government."

At that time, I wanted to get corn seeds again, it was a dream.

"The person who steals the corn is really abominable. If you don't steal anything, you have to steal the grain! We haven't had such a sneaky thing in our village for many years, and now this kind of person suddenly appears. It's really too much." It's outrageous!"

The aunt looked angry, and cursed endlessly: "This matter can't be left alone, let me tell you, the fourth family, this matter must be investigated to the end, and who did it must be found out, and he must pay for it! Good corn The seeds are all ruined, let him lose money! Can your family still get this corn seed?"

Su Zhang was in a dilemma: "I can't say for sure, even if we can get it, we probably won't sell it." Su Zhang sighed: "He stole my corn and wanted me to sell the corn seeds. How can there be such a good thing!"

The aunt immediately became anxious: "From the fourth family, there are only a few people who steal corn. Don't you plan to sell it to others? Others don't steal corn, just like mine, half of the corn can be sold. Did not steal."

"Auntie, I know who you are, how could you steal this corn?" Mrs. Su Zhang patted her hand and smiled, "It's just that I can't get over my anger. If I catch the person who stole the corn, let me vent my anger." , I may still be able to vent my anger, but right now, I really don't want to sell this kind of seeds, not to mention that there are not enough seeds, but enough..."

Mrs. Su Zhang said angrily, she didn't finish, she just shook her head, paused for a long time, then forced a smile and said: "If someone asks about my aunt, you can say that this kind of seed in our family is not for sale anymore. Come and steal four times, do you really think that everyone in our family has a good temper?"

The auntie persuaded him a few more words, and Mrs. Su and Zhang only had to agree with one sentence—I was so angry that the seeds would not be sold.At this moment, no one thought of the reason of not having enough seeds. Anyway, Su Qinghe put this in front, just in case, and also set a trap for the person who stole the seeds.

After sending the aunt away, Su Qinghe sneaked back from the backyard again: "Mother, it's terrible, my cotton has grown aphids again, I just looked through it, this time it's not a little bit, there are a lot of aphids .”

It was so dense that her scalp felt numb.

"Really? Let me see." Su Zhang quickly got up, and followed Su Qinghe to the backyard to look at the cotton. Sure enough, he opened the leaves and took a look. There were layers of black bugs underneath, which made him sick to look at.

In the past few days, Su Qinghe was furious because of the stolen corn, and didn't come to the backyard for two or three days.When I came here once today, I discovered this kind of thing, and I felt even more depressed: "Mother, what should I do about this? You can't pinch the leaves anymore, right?"

If you pinch any more, her cotton will be gone.

"Get some garlic water and flush it." Mrs. Su frowned and thought for a while, then went to the front yard to find garlic: "When your father comes back, I will think of a way. I said, what is your cotton for? I picked a cotton boll in two days, it’s not edible at all.”

Su Qinghe looked at the cotton bolls hanging on the cotton, and the corner of her mouth twitched, Mother, how did you decide that this thing is not edible?Could it be...

Shaking her head, Su Qinghe hurriedly followed Su Zhangshi's footsteps: "I don't know, but I will know when it is done. Anyway, if it can't be sold for money, it will be regarded as a year of white farming. However, I think, It will definitely sell for money.”

Although Su Zhang said he didn't believe it, but when he thought of corn, he felt that it might be possible.After thinking about it, I was a bit confused, so I simply didn't think about it. Anyway, my daughter is just messing around in the backyard, and there is no shortage of her bit of land at home.
