Chapter 119: The Evil Mother-in-Law Meets the Violent and Lazy Daughter-in-Law (6)
During the busy autumn harvest season, the three members of the Yang family were busy picking corn in the fields.
Muyan was lying on the kang, and on the screen in front of her was a topographic map of the entire village. In those days, each household had little land, and the grain they harvested was barely enough for the whole family to eat.
She didn't want to continue living like this, she had to find a way to make some money.
Seeing her staring at the screen, Wanzi couldn't help but speak, "Boss, didn't you take all the money from Liu Shufen? Go to town and wholesale some things and sell them back. It's not bad to make a profit from the difference."
Muyan heard it, but didn't take it to heart. She already had her own plans in mind.
She studied the topographic map on the screen for a while, and gradually formed a plan in her mind about what she wanted to do.
She got out of bed, put on her shoes, and went out with all her belongings.
——
In the cornfield that is taller than a person's head, the three members of the Yang family each have a piece of land, and their hands that break the corn seem to be more dexterous than machines.
While breaking the knot, Liu Shufen was thinking about how to find an opportunity to go to Li Ling's parents' home and call Li Ling's mother over.
The witch said that Li Ling was not possessed by evil spirits. Liu Shufen felt that if she was not possessed by evil spirits, then she was crazy.
She just didn't believe it. No matter how crazy she was, she couldn't deny her mother.
It just so happened that she was tired from work recently and wanted to find someone to help her share the burden.
Liu Shufen looked up at the cornfield which was almost at the end. She quickly finished picking the corn and put it into the basket. She looked around and saw that the other two people were busy picking corn and had no time to look at her.
Liu Shufen quietly walked out of the field and quickly walked towards the next village.
Li Ling's parents' home and Yang Fuji's home are not far away. If you walk quickly, you can get there in half an hour.
Liu Shufen ran from the cornfield to the entrance of Li Ling's mother's village in one breath. At this time, most people were working in the fields, but Liu Shufen knew that her daughter must be at home.
Speaking of this, Liu Shufen felt a little jealous of her daughter Yang Yun. They were also exchange marriages, and she had been doing nothing but work since she married into the Yang family. Li Ling was the same before.
Only Yang Yun has never done farm work since the day she got married. Compared with her time at home, she now lives like an emperor.
When Li Ling's father was alive, there was someone in the Li family that she was afraid of. Half a year ago, Li Ling's father passed away, and the Li family was completely controlled by Yang Yun.
The Li family lived such a comfortable life that Yang Yun hadn't been home to see her for a long time.
When Liu Shufen thought of this, she couldn't help but curse him as an ungrateful person.
Liu Shufen walked to the door of Li's house, pushed it open, and walked into the yard with a swagger.
"I'm going to die! It's so late that you're back! The whole family will starve to death." Yang Yun heard the sound of the door opening and thought that Li Gang and her mother had returned from work, so she walked out of the house cursing.
"mother?"
"Why are you here?" After being shocked, Yang Yun picked up a bench in the yard and let her mother sit on it.
"Why, I can't come to your house?" Liu Shufen said unhappily as she sat on the bench.
Yang Yun knew that her mother would not come to the temple for no reason, so she poured her a bowl of water, added some sugar, and brought it to her in the yard.
"No, I mean, isn't my family busy picking corn? How come you have time to come?"
When talking about corn, Liu Shufen's face looked even uglier than before, and she drank a bowl of sugar water in a few gulps.
The sugar water tasted really good. Liu Shufen wiped her mouth with her sleeve.
"Go call your mother-in-law back and ask her to come home with me."
Yang Yun felt unhappy when she heard this. Her family had more corn than her mother's family. It had been cloudy for the past few days. Li Gang and her mother left before dawn in the morning and came back after dark at night, and they had only harvested half of it.
If her mother-in-law passed away again, it would take Li Gang a long time to get through it alone.
After a while, Liu Shufen saw that she didn't move, and she became even more angry. "What's wrong with me saying I can't order you around?"
Yang Yun heard her mother's full-throated scolding. The memory of being beaten since childhood made her shrink her neck subconsciously. Then she realized that this was her home. Yang Yun asked boldly,
"Mom, why did you ask her to go home? She can't even pick a few corns in a day."
Liu Shufen picked out some of the things that happened when Muyan went crazy and told them to Yang Yun.
After hearing this, Yang Yun went to the field to call for help without hesitation.
On the other side, Muyan found the village chief who was picking corn in the field and told him about her plan.
"You want to lease the wasteland?" The village chief couldn't believe what he heard and asked again.
Mu Yan nodded, "Yeah."
"Did your mother-in-law agree?" The village chief had also heard some things about the Yang family recently, but he didn't believe that someone like Liu Shufen could be controlled, even if he beat her to death.
"I'm the boss in our family," Mu Yan patted her pocket, "I've brought the money."
Seeing that she was serious, the village chief patted the corn leaves on his body and said, "Let's go to the brigade, find the accountant, and measure the land." Most of the other brigades had reclaimed land for farming, but in their village, there was not a single household. Every time he went to the town for a meeting and listened to what they said about compensation policies, he could only watch with envy.
This time, their village has it too.
Muyan had already planned the land she wanted to contract. The village chief and the accountant went to the place she wanted to contract to measure the land, and the contract was soon signed. She contracted 30 acres at one time and signed a 30-year contract. The contract fee would be paid annually.
Because she was the first one who wanted to contract the wasteland, the village chief collected a symbolic contract fee from her in order to encourage more people to contract the wasteland. But when she left, she was repeatedly warned not to tell anyone, otherwise, if someone else contracted the wasteland in the future, it would be difficult for him to deal with it.
Muyan agreed to the village chief and took the contract home.
The autumn here is very short. After the autumn harvest, the weather becomes cold and the villagers basically become idle.
We will have to wait until next spring to resume work.
Muyan decided to let the three members of the Yang family clear the weeds on the wasteland and turn the land over this winter, so that they can plant crops directly in the spring of next year.
"My dear relative, why did you call me here?" Wu Ying was called back home from the field by Yang Yun, and then Liu Shufen pulled her to her house. She didn't say anything when she asked questions along the way, which made her very anxious.
Liu Shufen walked back and forth in the yard, occasionally looking up at the door. She heard Wu Ying's questions but pretended not to hear them.
She was just waiting for that little bitch to come back. If she wanted to be the boss of Liu Shufen, she had to see if she had the ability to do so.
Seeing that she ignored her, Wu Ying could only sit on the bench and sigh.
Muyan walked in with the contract and saw Wu Ying sitting in the yard. She walked towards her.
"Why are you here?" Mu Yan couldn't call her "Mom" like the original owner did, facing a mother who was patriarchal to the core, and she couldn't let herself be wronged because of her.
Wu Ying secretly glared in Liu Shufen's direction and gestured to Mu Yan.
Liu Shufen walked forward and laughed, "Your sister-in-law came to see me. Your mother said she missed you, so she came along to see you. How could you talk to your mother like that?" Liu Shufen held up a gift from a philanthropic elder in front of Wu Ying.
