Guide to raise my cutie husbands

Chapter 973: My sister is mineAfter Yu Dong succeeded in selling the vegetables for a high price, she decided to earnestly work harder for the villagers. She couldn't tell them that there was going to be a locust plague lest the matter was spread all over the town and other villages.



If everyone found out that there was going to be another plague, then it might lead to another round of hoarding something that Yu Dong did not wish to happen.

She carefully considered everything and thus started loaning out money to the villagers to create greenhouses to protect their crops. She couldn't stop them from growing vegetables, which was why she held a meeting and announced that if they wanted to sow the seeds then they needed to build a greenhouse over their fields.

Though it created a bit of havoc, now that Yu Dong was looking at the greenhouses that were scattered all over the village, she could finally heave a sigh of relief. With this, they did not have to worry about anything for the time being.

She then turned to look at Shen Li and asked, " Did the mers finish sewing the mesh curtains?"

Mesh curtains were something that Yu Dong came up with, she taught the mers how to use strips of bamboo poles to make curtains with minimal space which was too small for even a locust larva to enter. Since plants needed air, she couldn't trap the crops inside the greenhouse as the material with which she created these greenhouses was nowhere as good as the one in the modern labs.
Thus, they needed to make windows which would allow a continuous flow of air. But if those windows were left open then the locusts would chew down their entire crops! Thus, Yu Dong came up with the idea of mesh curtains that would both block the locusts out as well as protect their crops while allowing fresh air to flow inside the greenhouse.

" They are done with a hundred curtains for the time being," Shen Li replied as he looked at the small book that he carried everywhere with him. Now that he was getting on with his pregnancy, he needed to take walks thus he decided to follow Yu Dong and help her in developing the village.

" Great, then tell those who are done building their greenhouses to come and bring those mesh curtains with them," Yu Dong stated calmly while staring at the villagers who were working hard. " Once they are done placing the mesh curtains on their windows, send Liu and Aunt Wang to check half while leaving the rest to Mi and Sister Junfen."

" If they clear the inspection hand them the seeds and allow them to start farming," she added.

While she was talking her gaze fell on Yu Tong who was returning from the docks, behind her were three burly women which made Yu Tong look like a meek wife who was getting bullied by her in-laws.

"What's going on?" She mused while Shen Li also turned around and looked at Yu Tong while covering his belly, he only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that those three women were not his mother and sister.

Though Shen Hanxing and Mother Shen had been quiet for a few months, Shen Li was well aware of their nature. The two will not sit quietly for long and will sooner or later come looking for Ning Yu and Shi Xi!

" Ah Tong?" Yu Dong called her cousin whose eyes almost turned glassy upon hearing Yu Dong's cry. It was still her sister who cared the most about her!

After eating the vegetables grown by the Yu family, the other vegetables and fruits could not even match up. The tomatoes which were sold in the market started to taste blend and the cucumbers and leeks lost all flavour in the eyes of the three women. When they ate dinner at their house, they felt like they were eating pig's feed, which made them quite annoyed.

Sadly, the prices of those vegetables that were sold by the Yu family did not go up, they did not fall either. The more they couldn't have it the more they wanted to eat those vegetables but Yu Tong learned her lesson, she no longer brought tomatoes and cucumbers to the dock nor did she sell those vegetables at a lower price.

Therefore, the three women decided to chase after Yu Tong when she was going back home and invited themselves to a free meal and because one of the women was her boss, Yu Tong couldn't say no!

As the four of them entered the Big River Village, they were greeted with the sight of greenhouses which caused the women to be filled with awe. They thought that these buildings were the secret of those vegetables, they believed that if they built something similar in their village, they might be able to eat vegetables that tasted as good as Yu Dong. n0vELUSb.C0m

But Yu Tong squashed their thoughts as she told them that the greenhouses were only there to protect the corps and nothing else, the taste of the vegetables came straight from the skills that her sister had!

Sister Kang looked at the scenery around her and sighed, " Sure enough, those who are smart are different from the rest. No wonder you are so witty, Tong'er."

" She is not as witty as her sister though," chimed Sister Gong as she looked at Yu Dong whose aura was something else. " If she did then she too would be the owner of a village instead of working in the town while trying to save money to buy land."

Yu Tong: "..." You know you just called yourself idiots as well!

Yu Tong simply rolled her eyes and then said, " Yes, I am not as good as my sister. She is much smarter than me."

Her three colleagues nodded and then Sister Hou said in a sly voice, " Then she might not be as petty as you, right? If we ask her to stay at the village and have dinner once in a while she might agree right?"

Yu Tong: "....."
