The little girl from a farm family has a big wish to make a fortune by farming and picking mushrooms

Chapter 217: The weasel comes to steal the chicken?

As soon as Magistrate Niu returned to the county town, he discussed the draft with his legal advisor.

He wants to report this important discovery to the provincial government!

"Sir, if this measure can be promoted, the crops in the people's fields can at least increase by more than 100 kilograms per mu. Although it is not much, it is better than nothing."

"You are right. Besides, every household has more than one mu of land. If this method can help the people to harvest one more pound of grain, I am happy to promote it. Please instruct that when collecting tax grain after the autumn harvest, go to Lianglin Village first. The data should be counted more carefully and compared with the weight of previous years."

"Haha, good, your Excellency is wise."

"It doesn't matter whether it's wise or not, everything is for the people."

Magistrate Niu blew on the manuscript and read it carefully two or three times before closing it.

After the weight was counted, he would send the notebook to the provincial capital as soon as possible.

Burning straw is not only to make the land fertile or to save time during busy farming season, but it can also prevent pests!

This insect pest is the main factor causing crop damage.

If we can really kill harmful larvae such as locusts in the soil, it would be a great achievement!

Magistrate Niu stroked his beard, enjoying the scene of the great harvest, with an unstoppable smile on his face.

Towards the afternoon, Wang Fugui rubbed his eyes and got out of bed.

After this good sleep, my mind feels much clearer.

Seeing the old woman cleaning the yard, I asked about the Zhou family's affairs.

"Old lady, Xiaolian and Cuifen helped us so much at noon, did you thank them properly?"

Mrs. Wang put away the broom in her hand and said, "How can I not thank you? But I haven't paid for the braised pork jelly I ate yet. I'll send it to you when you wake up."

"Okay, I'll go over there tonight. I'm sure the county magistrate will remember our Lianglin Village when he comes here. I don't ask for anything else, I just hope the county magistrate won't collect too much tax."

"That's not certain. If our harvest this year is better than in previous years, we might actually get a little more."

"You bitch, you don't know how to say something auspicious. Stop talking nonsense and cook some light meals tonight. I'm a little thirsty."

"Humph, they are just talking nonsense, but you are not. If you are thirsty, drink water and make salty soup at night."

Old Mrs. Wang is not someone who will just accept things as they come. If you keep losing your temper, I will not serve you.

You want plain soup, but I prefer salty soup.

Wang Fugui pointed at the old woman and was speechless... Stubborn! Just be stubborn! Sooner or later, he will be pissed off to death.

But he didn't know how to cook, so he had to go into the house and drink two bowls of tea.

This was the mint tea left over from the morning. After drinking two bowls, I felt much clearer.

"Uncle, are you busy?" Standing at the door was Wang Dahai.

"Dahai? Dahai, why are you here? Is there something wrong?" Wang Fugui yawned and had not yet fully recovered from his nap.

"Uncle, I have a problem. My mother and Narcissus always don't get along. You know the situation of my family. We can't make ends meet. I'm thinking of buying a piece of land so that Narcissus and I can live separately." After Wang Dahai expressed his idea, Wang Fugui was shocked.

As the saying goes, as long as parents are alive, the family will not be divided.

I don't know what his younger brother did to hurt the child so much that he even left his wife and moved out.

"Do your parents know about this?"

"I don't know. Even though we're splitting up, I'll still fulfill my responsibilities as a son. I'll give them half of the money I earn, and we'll keep the rest."

He was serious about wanting to split up the family business.

"Da Hai, I'm not against you getting a share, but if your parents don't agree, you really can't get one. Don't worry about buying the land. I'll go find out what your parents have to say when I have time. By the way, I haven't seen your brother for a while. Where did he go to fool around again?"

"I don't know. It would be better to die outside." Wang Dahai said and turned away. It would be fine if he didn't mention his brother. He got angry when he did. What's more, the matter of buying the land had not been completed yet.

"You kid..." Wang Fugui didn't finish his words before he watched his nephew turn around and walk away.

What do you call this?

While other families are trying hard to move forward, his disappointing younger brother is just dragging his children backwards and dragging them down to this point.

It was getting dark that afternoon.

The children in Old Zhou's family have all washed up and gone back to their room to sleep.

Wang Fugui came over carrying a purse.

"Mrs. Zhou, it's me, Fugui..."

"Okay, here I come." After putting down the things in her hands, Old Mrs. Zhou opened the door and welcomed Wang Fugui in.

"Fugui, why are you here at this time? What's the matter?"

"No big deal, just come over to hang out."

"Okay, okay, come with me into the main room. There are a lot of mosquitoes outside."

Old Mrs. Zhou led Wang Fugui into the main room, and several adults who heard the noise also went over.

The county magistrate just came here during the day, maybe he left some words for the village chief to convey.

After some conversation, it turned out that they were overthinking the situation.

The village chief just came to give money.

How could Old Lady Zhou not want that? It was their honor to cook for the county magistrate. Moreover, with the county magistrate as their living signboard, their business would only get better and not worse.

"Uncle, just take this money and promote our products outside. If the county magistrate praises the jelly and braised pork as delicious, I wonder how many people will be willing to buy them." Old Mrs. Zhou laughed cheerfully.

"You're right, this is a great idea. Even without you telling me, I would promote your jelly and braised pork more often at the dinner table..." Wang Fugui eagerly imitated the words of praise from the adults, making everyone laugh.

Before leaving, he insisted on handing the purse to Old Mrs. Zhou.

"Sister-in-law, the money I brought over is not much. Even if you don't want the money for the jelly and braised pork, Xiaolian and Cuifen won't work in vain. Just accept it. If you really don't want it, I'll give it to your two daughters-in-law."

Wang Fugui put down his purse and left. It was already dark when he came, and after this conversation, it was already completely dark.

Old Mrs. Zhou sent the person to the gate and locked the door only after she saw the person go far away.

"The village chief is right. This is what you two earned. You two should divide it up."

Old Mrs. Zhou handed the purse to her eldest daughter-in-law and asked them to divide it between them.

Liu and Zhu were so happy that they couldn't express it in words.

He immediately poured out the money and counted it. Each person could get twenty copper coins, which was not a small amount.

"Okay, if you have nothing else to do, go to bed early."

Old Mrs. Zhou sent everyone away and went back to her room to sleep.

But thinking about the corn harvest in two days, no matter how tired Mrs. Zhou was, she did not fall asleep immediately.

Not long after, she heard rustling sounds coming from the yard.
