Chapter 232 True and False (4000+)

"Take a look at Qingmei. What kind of life is she leading now? Her father-in-law is blind and her mother-in-law is sickly. She has to serve her parents-in-law all day long and work in the fields. She is all tanned and thin. Tell me, do you want to live a comfortable life or live like a workhorse?"

"How can parents not plan for their children? Especially in your case, how can they not plan for you in your lifetime? Why can't you understand this?"

Song spoke a lot with great earnestness.

Zhuang Qinghe looked at Song and sobbed: "I only like Brother Wencheng. No matter how rich the other is, I won't marry him..."

"Mom, can you go to Brother Wencheng's house to ask for my hand in marriage? Brother Wencheng will definitely agree, okay?"

"Don't even think about it!" Song was really angry this time.

Zhuang Ruman and she were both thinking about Zhuang Qinghe, but Zhuang Qinghe insisted on recognizing Zhuang Wencheng. It was really infuriating! What was Zhuang Wencheng's family like? They were just ordinary farmers. Zhuang Wencheng was just an apprentice in a medicine shop. He hadn't learned anything in all these years. What future could he have? How could Zhuang Qinghe live a good life if she married him?

Who knows, in the future I might even have to ask Zhuang Yuanren to help out an incompetent brother-in-law.

What's more, Zhuang Wencheng's mother is also very powerful. Song had quarreled with her before, and Song didn't want to become a relative of hers.

"Mom, I..." Zhuang Qinghe wiped away her tears.

"Stop talking about it. Don't talk about it again, especially in front of your father." Song had completely lost her patience and shouted, "Hurry up, pick up the dishes and fetch a bucket of water!"

Zhuang Qinghe was extremely unhappy, but seeing that Song was also angry, in order to avoid physical pain, she wiped away her tears, cleaned up the dishes and went to fetch water.

Zhuang Yuanzhong watched from the side, and when Zhuang Qinghe finished her work, he pulled her aside to talk.

"What do you want to do?" Zhuang Qinghe now disliked Zhuang Yuanzhong more and more, and did not give him a good look.

"Sister, I want to help you." Zhuang Yuanzhong said with a grin.

"What can you help me with?" Zhuang Qinghe's eyes widened. ——Zhuang Ruman walked around the street gate twice and entered a yard.

In the yard, Zhuang Dali was burying the bean seeds he had received from Zhuang Jingye in the soil at the foot of the wall and pouring some water on them. He also inserted a bamboo stick between the new bean seeds and his own bean seeds to separate them. The new bean seeds were on the south side and his own bean seeds were on the north side. He would know the difference in a few days and he would know what to do.

"Brother Dali." Zhuang Ruman called out with a smile.

"It's Ruman." Zhuang Dali washed his hands and took a stool: "Sit down, do you want some tea?"

"No more drinking." Zhuang Ruman waved his hand, not daring to sit down. He just smiled and said, "Brother Dali, what are you busy with?"

"I just got some bean seeds from the village head. I planted them to see how they turn out. If they're good, I'll use them to plant beans." Zhuang Dali said.

"Brother Dali..."

Zhuang Ruman frowned and said, "You seem to be quite enthusiastic about this matter. I shouldn't discourage you, but autumn planting is related to the harvest of the whole season. After thinking about it, I still think it's better to remind you."

"What are you reminding me of?" Zhuang Dali was immediately confused. He looked at Zhuang Ruman, then at the place where the bean seeds had just been planted, and asked, "You mean, these bean seeds?"

"Isn't it?"

Zhuang Ruman nodded and said, "I think there is probably something wrong with this bean seed. Brother Dali, you'd better not plant it. Even if he says it's really good, don't plant it."

"Why is that?" Zhuang Dali frowned even more tightly. "If the bean seeds sprout well, doesn't it mean that the bean seeds are good? Can we plant them? Why can't we plant them?"

"I'll tell you this."

Zhuang Ruman rolled his eyes and said, "What the village head said is right, but has he really tried this bean seed? Is it really good? He can't say for sure now. It doesn't sound reliable to say that this bean seed is good without any evidence."

"It is said that there is no such thing as doing something without profit. Why did the village head take so much trouble to get us to plant this new bean seed? It must be that the bean seed seller promised the village head something good. The village head wanted to make money, so he hurriedly said that this bean seed was good and wanted us to plant this bean seed so that he could take some profit from it."

"It shouldn't be possible, Uncle Li Zheng's family needs this money?" Zhuang Dali couldn't believe it. "The price of this bean seed is the same as usual, and there is no profit. Uncle Li Zheng's family is well-off and they don't need this money. If this bean seed is unreliable, it won't be worth it for everyone to stab him in the back for making such a small amount of money."

"Is this easy to say? Who would complain about having too much money? Isn't the landlord's family also extremely stingy and unwilling to spend a penny?"

Zhuang Ruman curled his lips and said, "Isn't it because I save little by little every day that I can live a comfortable life? There are not so many kind-hearted people who care about others. Those who care about whether others are suffering or not are just thinking about themselves."

"Besides, didn't you hear what the headman said just now? He said that nothing is forced, it's all voluntary, he just thought it was good, so he said it to us, don't you understand what he meant? Doesn't it mean that he is kind-hearted? As for whether the bean seeds are good or bad, it has nothing to do with him. We did it voluntarily, so he doesn't have to worry about anything."

"Now that you put it that way..." Zhuang Dali's face darkened: "It seems to make some sense."

"What do you mean by a little bit? It makes a lot of sense."

Zhuang Ru said with foam flying at the mouth: "Brother Dali, just think about it, there is no such good thing. People are selfish, they only think about themselves, how can they think about others? He is taking care of others now, it must be because there is something wrong here!"

"Brother Dali, to be honest, after you left, I saw that damned girl Zhuang Qingning talking to someone in the street. They were both smiling as if they had found silver on the road. I saw that Xu Geli was just right, and the one who asked him to sell bean seeds was either someone else or that damned girl Zhuang Qingning."

"Don't you know that damn girl Zhuang Qingning? She is a money-grubber and selfish person. She only thinks about making money for herself and never thinks about others. Just look at her tofu shop. How much does it produce every day and how much does it sell for? The money she makes is flowing like water. But what does she care about in our village? Has she ever benefited the village or others?"

"The tofu shop is so profitable, but Zhuang Yonghe is so demanding when buying the beans, and he doesn't even raise the price a bit. Isn't this just dishonesty? He only wants to put money in his own pocket, and doesn't even think about other people. This time he must think there is money to be made here, so he wants to use these good-looking, but actually not good, beans to deceive us."

"Brother Dali, I treat you as my own brother, so I'm going to tell you something. I've seen this bean seed somewhere else, and I've heard about this thing. It's called the first crop of beans. What is a first crop of beans? It means that this bean seed looks good, and it produces a lot of beans in the first crop, but this is the only crop of beans. If you plant the beans produced in the first crop again, they won't produce beans in the second crop."

"In that case, Ning girl and the head of the village are working together to cheat us?" Zhuang Dali said with a frown.

"That's right. They only care about making money for themselves, and don't care about how much money we will lose or how much trouble we will suffer from growing these beans!" Zhuang Ruman said indignantly, "So, Dali, you have to be more careful about this matter. You have to know the ins and outs of it. Don't be fooled and end up suffering a loss."

"These beans cannot be planted no matter what. Otherwise, we will have no place to cry in the future."

"It's not just our family, we have to tell everyone else, to prevent them from being deceived and losing a whole season's harvest."

"That's what happened." Zhuang Dali nodded. "Thank you for reminding me, otherwise I would still be in the dark. I thought it was really for our own good, but I never thought..."

"Well, let me put it this way. We absolutely cannot plant these bean seeds. We cannot suffer this loss for no reason, nor can we let the headman bully us like this. Does he think we are fools?"

"That's right." Zhuang Ruman nodded: "Don't plant it."

"Well, we won't plant it." Zhuang Dali said, "We can't just not plant it. We have to remind others to do it. Ruman, you know this clearly. You should remind others more often so that they won't suffer any loss."

"Don't worry, Dali. That's what I think. Even if the head of the village is rude to me, I have to do it. Otherwise, I will not be able to live with my conscience."

Zhuang Ruman said, "Okay, Dali brother, since you understand it clearly, I won't say more. I'll go to other people's homes and tell them about it so that everyone will know what's going on."

"Go." Zhuang Dali stood up, saw Zhuang Ruman out, and then returned to the yard. After searching for a while, he found a clean sack.

"What are you looking for the sack for?" asked Zhuang Dali's wife, Wang.

"Go to the village head uncle's house and get some bean seeds." Zhuang Dali shook off the dust on the sack and said, "We plan to plant seven acres of beans this year, so let's take 50 kilograms of bean seeds and plant the rest in our vegetable garden. By the way, do you want some bean seeds from your mother's family as well?"

"I think we should ask your mother's family to plant more beans. When they harvest the beans, they can sell them to the tofu shop and make some money. The tofu shop owner buys beans from our village. When the time comes, he can bring the beans from your mother's family to our house and treat them as ours to sell. Yonghe will also give priority to them, so there is no need to worry about not being able to sell them."

"That's the logic, and I understand it." Wang looked at Zhuang Dali with some doubt: "But didn't Zhuang Ruman just say that there was something wrong with this bean seed? Didn't you also say that you would not plant this bean seed?"

"Silly woman, can't you tell the difference between truth and lies?"

Zhuang Dali laughed immediately, "Zhuang Ruman, because Ning girl has established a female household and now has made money, has become a red-eyed rabbit, thinking of doing bad things behind Ning girl's back and making life difficult for her. If this person's heart is really evil, it is darker than the bottom of a pot. This is really true."

"But if there really is something wrong with the bean seeds, then we will lose an entire season's harvest..." Wang was still a little worried.

"What's the problem? You said Ning girl cheated others for money?" Zhuang Dali curled his lips, "She doesn't even want the money for the bean seeds now. She's just waiting to pay it back after the beans are harvested. What is she cheating for? What can she cheat for? To prevent our family from harvesting beans? If no one in the village can harvest beans, why should we open the tofu shop?"

"This kind of thing that harms others and does not benefit yourself, even a fool would not do this, let alone this smart girl Ning, you can't be smarter, don't worry, this bean seed will be fine, don't worry about it, just listen to me, it won't go wrong."

"Besides, Zhuang Ruman's family looks so unlucky. Just remember one thing: don't be foolish if you follow his advice. If he says not to do something, you must try it. I'm not exaggerating. If we do this, our lives will definitely be better."

"Okay, I won't talk to you anymore. I have to hurry to Uncle Village Chief's house. Zhuang Ruman's short legs are very fast, and he may have visited several houses by now. You can see that all the families he has visited must go to Uncle Village Chief's house to collect beans. From what Uncle Village Chief said, there are not many bean seeds here. We have to hurry. If we go too late, there may not be any..."

As he spoke, Zhuang Dali shook the sack in his hand and went straight to Zhuang Jingye's house.

I didn't even bother to respond when someone called me on the street.

Zhuang Ruman went to four or five houses in a short while.

When he came out of the sixth house, he couldn't stop smiling. He didn't even bother to wipe the sweat off his face. He just put his hands behind his back and walked home.

It can be said that the few families that went there all felt that there was something wrong with the bean varieties and that what he said was right. They all promised firmly that they would definitely not plant the bean varieties that Zhuang Jingye mentioned.

If this continues, those households that have not received bean seeds will definitely not go to get them again.

No matter what your plans, Zhuang Jingye and Zhuang Qingning, are, I will never let you get your way. I will make sure that you cannot accomplish anything you want, and that will make me feel relieved.

See, this is what happens when you offend me!

Zhuang Ruman was very angry, but when he thought of Zhuang Jingye and Zhuang Qingning's look of despair when they failed to accomplish this task, he became extremely happy.

Feeling a little tired now, Zhuang Ruman thought about going back to rest for a while, and then visiting a few more houses when the weather gets cooler. In any case, he had to make those who were still waiting and watching decide not to plant Zhuang Qingning's bean seeds.

Fortunately, there is still some time before the autumn planting. After persuading these people, I will try to persuade those who have received bean seeds. I must make sure that all of Zhuang Qingning's wishful thinking will come to nothing.

Until then...

Oh, I feel so relieved.

Zhuang Ruman felt that he had not been so happy in a long time. He just put his hands behind his back and walked home with a smile on his face.

The noodles are stewed with tomatoes, beans and shredded pork. The noodles are made of white flour mixed with eggs and alkaline water. After being taken out, they are rinsed with cold water. They taste so refreshing and chewy. Served with a few cloves of garlic, it is very comfortable in this hot weather.
