Spring scenery in the fields

Chapter 113 Negotiating the Price

Ji Wenhe was outside listening to his begging for mercy. Soon, Shen Rongshan came out, took her hand and put out the torch.

"Wen He, let's go home."

"Ah."

She looked back into the room. It was pitch dark and she couldn't see what was going on inside, but the two men were so scared that they collapsed on the bed and couldn't get up.

Wait until they are far away.

Zhang Mazi leaned weakly against the headboard of the bed, his clothes were already soaked, and he stared fiercely at the person next to him.

"You are such a troublesome bitch. Now I wonder if you still have the guts to go and find their family."

"I'm telling you, if you want to die, don't drag me and my son down with you. From now on, give up on that idea. If those two women come, chase them away immediately."

"If I find out that you dare to attack their family, I will break your legs immediately without them having to do anything."

After saying this, he became so angry that he kicked her hard, knocking her off the bed to the ground.

With a bang, Liu Erfang came back to his senses from his shock. He ignored the pain in his body and was about to stand up and curse.

Looking at the person standing beside the bed, she could feel her husband's eyes staring at her, and his clenched fists made a clattering sound in the darkness.

He then said, "Liu Erfang, if you want to live well, then be honest with me. If you don't want to live well, I will divorce you immediately."

With the words "I'm going to divorce you", Liu Erfang's desire to scold him immediately disappeared.

Because she knew her husband was really serious and was not joking.

After a woman is divorced, few of them have a good ending. Her parents' family cannot accept her and want to marry her off in a hurry, selling her to the old widower of her deceased wife.

Her family is not a good group of people. If her husband really wants to divorce her, her family will not stand on her side.

Zhang Mazi changed his clothes and came to the yard. He heard his son crying from the next room. He walked to the door angrily and cursed inside.

"Cry, why are you crying? How dare you cry? If you hadn't caused so much trouble, would they have come to your door?"

"Zhang Fugui, you better behave yourself. If you keep hanging out with those bad people and bring trouble to our family, I will break both of your legs."

After saying that, he walked out of the door and wandered aimlessly in the village.

After this incident, Liu Erfang was really scared, and no longer dared to have any thoughts in his mind.

On the way back, Ji Wenhe kept yawning: "Brother Shen, I'm so sleepy and don't want to walk anymore. Please carry me on your back."

Shen Rongshan squatted down without saying a word: "Sleep on my back."

She nodded blankly, her eyes barely able to stay open, and fell onto his back, falling asleep in a second.

Hearing her shallow breathing sound, his eyes softened and he took steady steps, carrying her back home.

When Shen Wenshan got up at night, he found the door was locked from the outside and his elder brother and sister-in-law were not at home.

Just as he was about to turn around and wake up Shen Yuanshan, he heard footsteps in the yard and pricked up his ears to listen outside.

Then there was the sound of unlocking a door, and he asked softly, "Is it Big Brother?"

Shen Rongshan replied: "Well, why did you get up?"

"Brother, I need to go to the toilet."

When the door was pushed open from the outside, I saw him carrying someone on his back. I knew who it was without having to guess. Without asking any more questions, I turned around and went to the toilet.

After settling her down, I waited for her to come back.

Shen Wenshan asked curiously: "Brother, what did you and sister-in-law do in the middle of the night?"

Shen Rongshan closed the door and said, "Go to sleep, we'll talk tomorrow."

"Oh." He responded.

A good night's sleep.

Ji Wenhe washed up, sat down at the table, and picked up his chopsticks: "Brother Shen, next time you go to the market, buy a pound of salt."

"Buy another pound of pork belly and lean meat, marinate them with salt, and keep them for a long time. When you want to eat them later, just take some out and stir-fry them."

"Sister-in-law, is the mouth of the jar too small?"

Shen Yuanshan looked at the wine jar under the cupboard. The whole piece of meat couldn't fit in, so he had to cut it into small pieces.

"It's not small. We can reach in with chopsticks and pick it out. Cut the meat into smaller pieces so we don't have to cut it when we take it out."

Shen Rongshan took a sip of corn porridge and said, "Okay, you can cook the pork that we didn't make last night for lunch. We won't be back at noon."

He baked a lot of wild vegetable cakes in the morning and each person took two pieces with them.

The wild celery and spring bamboo shoots were not cooked completely, so some of them were left, as well as three fish.

Ji Wenhe wanted to wait until the evening to cook: "You guys should go back early, you don't have to wait until they are all sold out. I will go to Aunt Lan's house later to ask about the chicks."

"By the way, Brother Shen, I also want to raise ducklings and geese."

Shen Rongshan nodded: "You decide. After we buy the ducklings and gooselings, we can also buy the two wastelands next to it."

The twins looked up immediately.

Shen Wenshan's eyes sparkled: "Brother, our family is going to buy land."

Ji Wenhe smiled and replied: "Yes, buy a few more pieces, I plan to build a pigpen in the future."

"The land in the east is too expensive. I don't have much money right now. If I cultivate the wasteland, the yield will be no worse than the land in the east."

She wanted to buy it as soon as possible and use it for breeding in the future, but she was also afraid that the village head would raise the price of the wasteland later.

"Brother Shen, you said we bought too much wasteland. Will the village head raise the price in the future?"

She has a big plan to buy all the wasteland in the west.

Shen Yuanshan took over the conversation: "It's hard to say."

Shen Rongshan shook his head slightly: "I don't know either."

Okay, buy two more pieces of wasteland, and buy the remaining wasteland all at once next time, and don’t give him a chance to raise the price.

After dinner, they went to the village to borrow a shoulder pole from someone else. The three of them carried the baskets and went out of the village to sell the goods.

Ji Wenhe picked up the silk net. She didn't pick up the complicated one, but the same one as last time. She also picked up a basket of scraps of cloth and needles and thread.

When they arrived at the foot of the mountain, they saw Shen Erniu, Shen Anguo, and Shen Liang. The three of them followed the three brothers out of the village.

"Aunt Lan, are Uncle Shen and his friends going to town to find work?"

Lan Qiuhua turned around and said, "Yes, I wanted to let them rest at home for two days. The three of us discussed it last night and decided to leave today."

If I had known this earlier, I would rather not have come back. Running back and forth is so tiring.

He glanced at the scraps of cloth in the basket and asked in confusion, "What are you doing with all these scraps of cloth?"

Ji Wenhe looked down and picked up a lot of fine scraps of cloth early in the morning: "Make a puppet."

He followed her into the house and said, "Aunt Lan, I want to talk to you again this time. I won't make the wooden hairpin anymore."

Shen Rongshan wanted to go with her to sell goods. He was very tired after running all day and didn't want to carve wooden hairpins for her when he came back.

Lan Qiuhua sat opposite her and said, "If you don't make wooden hairpins anymore, why are you making puppets?"

"I'll sell the dolls individually." She took out a small piece of cloth and said, "Make a small one, embroider the eyes on it and sew it on. Ten dolls for four cents."

Shen Suya on the side wondered: "Sister-in-law, how much do you plan to sell it for?"

Ten and four cents, that’s a pretty high price. I wonder if she can make any money.
