Chapter 230: Squatting for a Follow-up

Zeng Xiaoyan sneered: "Look, it's really hard to stop thinking. I just said it and I ran into her. But I didn't expect it to be her."

Cuiqiao was Zeng Mingzhu's maid who came with her as a dowry.

A few days ago, Zeng Mingzhu's husband, Master Qi, came to pick her up.

The Qi family is a wealthy family and they care about their reputation. Mrs. Qi has just promoted two concubines to her son and does not want to give people a chance to say that she is mistreating her daughter-in-law, so she asked her son to come and take her daughter-in-law back.

She gave Zeng Mingzhu enough face. If Zeng Mingzhu didn't know how to appreciate it, then she would be ignorant.

Now that things have come to this, it is useless for Zeng Mingzhu to be pretentious and aggrieved. The Qi family has given her enough face. If she doesn't know when to stop, it will make people disgusted.

Unexpectedly, when the couple was about to go back, County Magistrate Lu, accompanied by County Assistant Zhao and Lawyer Shao, went to Liangjia Village in a grand manner.

What a big new and rare thing.

In today's world of extreme scarcity of entertainment, who can resist the allure of something new and novel? Absolutely not!

There has to be a follow-up to this matter, right?

Young Master Qi and Zeng Mingzhu decisively decided to stay at Zeng's house for a few more days.

"Sweet potatoes? Potatoes? What the hell?"

"I heard the yield is super high and the taste is good. Is that true?"

"What the hell? Two thousand catties per mu? Impossible! Absolutely impossible! You must have heard it wrong! No, I heard it wrong! You useless thing, you can't even find out such a small thing, and you still talk back? Why don't you go and find out more?"

“.”

Young Master Qi was shocked, and Zeng Mingzhu and her mother, who did not pay attention to planting and production, were also shocked. Master Zeng and Young Master Zeng were so dumbfounded that their minds went blank.

Impossible, impossible

However, after sending reliable people to investigate, the result was still the same.

“This, this is true.”

"impossible"

Liangjia Village, it’s Liangjia Village again.

It’s that Madam Xu again!

Mrs. Zeng and Zeng Mingzhu gritted their teeth and wished they could cover their ears and eyes, not wanting to hear or see anything. It was so infuriating.

Master Zeng and Young Master Zeng suddenly felt absurd, ridiculous, and helpless. They wanted to laugh but couldn't, and their hearts felt heavy and stuffy.

What the hell is going on?! So they're deliberately trying to go against the Zeng family, right? Right!

Liangjia Village was where their in-laws once lived. If it were before, the father and son would have gone to inquire about it. But now they simply didn't have the face to go.

Even if you send a servant at home, you have to specifically instruct them not to reveal their identity.

Which landlord wouldn’t be tempted by such an astonishing per-acre yield of crops?

Fatal Attraction, huh?

Young Master Qi was also quite tempted, as his family also had countless fields.

The new thing that Lord Lu attaches so much importance to must be of good quality.

Young Master Qi was busy discussing with his father-in-law and brother-in-law, asking them to send someone to contact Liangjia Village as soon as possible, and it would be best to finalize the agreement that Liangjia Village would supply them with the sweet potatoes and potatoes.

"Just ask the steward to bring writing material and sign the contract right there and then. Once it's written in black and white and your fingerprints are pressed, no one can go back on their word."

"As for the price, it's okay if it's a little higher than rice and wheat."

"Hurry up, or someone else might get there first."

Mr. Zeng responded with a calm smile, but he actually had no idea what was going on.

He didn't dare let his son-in-law know that he once had a son-in-law in Liangjia Village, and he was the son of the village headman.

He knew that Zeng Xiaoyan hated the Zeng family.

But Xu happened to be good friends with Zeng Xiaoyan.

Although there is still a daughter in Liangjia Village, those four cowardly, incompetent and useless people are just living under someone else's roof in Liangjia Village and are of no use at all.

I have to say that Mr. Zeng still hasn't made any progress at all.

The saying that one learns from experience is bullshit.

He used to look down on Zeng Xiaoyan, and then suffered a terrible setback; now he still looks down on Zeng Xiaojuan.

Young Master Qi not only wanted the supply contract in black and white, but he was also eager to taste the sweet potatoes and potatoes.

Mr. Zeng was also very curious, so he asked the butler to keep an eye on the matter and find a way to buy some as soon as possible.

However, he didn't expect that there were so many people who had the same idea as him, so Liang Lizheng became very vigilant.

Under the repeated instigation of Liang Lizheng, and with Lu County Magistrate speaking on behalf of the government, who among the villagers would dare not listen?

Liang Lizheng was watching so closely again.

Therefore, not a single sweet potato or potato was lost.

Not to mention spending money to buy it, even if relatives and friends came, they couldn’t even try it.

County Magistrate Lu hasn't given us any specific rules yet, so who dares to make any changes?

Besides, relatives and friends come over every day. If I give one person a taste today, can I not give that person a taste tomorrow? If I give them every day, wouldn't it be heartbreaking? I might as well not give them any.

Complete fairness to everyone.

In this situation, it would be very difficult for the Zeng family to get some sweet potatoes and potatoes!

Mr. Zeng was furious.

If their family and the Liang family were still relatives, this would not be a problem at all. If they could secretly make ten or eight kilograms of it, their relatives would definitely agree.

In fact, when Mr. and Mrs. Qin came to visit and left Xu Zhichun's house, Xu Zhichun packed ten kilograms of sweet potatoes, potatoes, and yacon for them to take away.

She had deliberately mixed the yacon with a pile of sweet potatoes and sold them randomly to villagers.

Although the fruit of yacon looks very similar to sweet potato, the plant is completely different. It is not a creeping vine, but a plant that looks like peppers and eggplants.

So it was discovered that they were different a long time ago.

No one was willing to act rashly, and they all asked Xu Zhichun for advice.

Xu Zhichun was not in a position to claim that he knew, so he pretended not to understand and told everyone to "keep it for now and see what happens in the future."

Since they were planting something anyway, everyone thought it made sense and decided to leave the yacon plants.

I didn't expect to get a surprise.

The translucent flesh is crispy, sweet, fresh and juicy, and has an almost completely different taste compared to sweet potatoes.

The kids are crazy about it.

No one knows what this is called, so we call it "sweet potato".

Well, that's fine.

Young Master Qi was very dissatisfied because he couldn't eat sweet potatoes and potatoes for a long time.

The more you can’t eat, the more you want to eat.

When talking to Zeng Mingzhu, he couldn't help but express some complaints.

He didn't believe it at all. As long as they were willing to pay a price, wouldn't those peasants sell it?

Even if County Magistrate Lu had given instructions, could it be that every household in the village was a monolithic entity? Just add more money and smash it harder; there's no way it won't come down.

How would he know? Liang Lizheng had gone to the homes of those greedy, unscrupulous, and unrefined families and had severely warned them, both implicitly and implicitly. It wasn't that they didn't want to, but they simply didn't dare.

Liang Lizheng is so fierce, who would dare to do that?

Zeng Mingzhu felt very embarrassed, so she personally led people to intercept Xu Zhichun and others.

Cuiqiao lifted the curtain and smiled contemptuously at Xu Zhichun, Zeng Xiaoyan, and the others. "Third Miss, please come over and talk to the eldest lady."
