Chapter 92 Farewell

Shen Qing first went to the Zhao brothers.

"Our whole family is going out soon, so we won't be accepting seafood and wild vegetables starting tomorrow." Shen Qing was really distressed when he said this!

Over the past month, the wild vegetables provided by the women of Zhao and Hong's families were fresh, tender, and clean, with a wide variety, saving her a lot of time and energy.

Needless to say, even after she bought so many food books, the mall still had a huge deposit of 120,000 yuan, relying on the hard work of the two men of Zhao and Hong.

Before today, she felt that the 120,000 yuan balance in the mall was more than enough, but after opening the weapons and tools category at noon, she felt that no matter how much money she had in the mall, it would never be too much!

If I had known earlier, I would not only use the wheat from the fields to exchange, but also use more food from the mall. Alas, knowing earlier is worth a thousand gold coins....

"Going out? Sister Shen, we are living well in the village, why do you want to go out?" Zhao Laoer asked anxiously, his temper was impatient.

Boss Zhao was much calmer and asked tentatively, "Is it about the heavy rain? Or are you hiding from Captain Sun?"

This reminded Zhao Lao Er, and he angrily said, "It must be Captain Sun! He made your family sell even their land at a low price!"

When thinking of Captain Sun, I think of the Wang and Zhang families. The two families rented Captain Sun's land to farm. No one said anything about it, but the women of the two families hung around Sister Shen's door every day and said some unpleasant things.

A village is seen every day, and it is always in front of you. Isn't this a nuisance?

No wonder Sister Shen wants to move her family to another place!

“Not entirely, but since I’ve lost my fields and often dream of heavy rain and floods, I think I should go out and take shelter.

"It's best if there's nothing. If it's just like in my dream, the rain inside my thatched cottage will probably be just as heavy as the rain outside, don't you think?" Shen Qing joked.

The last sentence made the Zhao brothers want to laugh but they held it back!

Although Sister Shen could use her house as a joke, they couldn't really laugh out loud.

And it makes me sad to think that their family is moving away.

Boss Zhao sighed: "Well, will you come back after the rainstorm?

Now you have the skill to make brushes and you have money in your hands. After a while, Captain Sun will probably calm down and come back to rebuild your house and buy some land."

"Yes, yes. If the thatched hut collapses, we can just build a new one. I will help you then and build a big house with adobe tiles!" Zhao Laoer said proudly.

Shen Qing knew that what the villagers heard was that the heavy rain had soaked and rotted the corn seedlings. Most of them thought that they would just replant the corn seedlings. If there was no harvest, they would dig up wild vegetables and catch fish and shrimp to supplement their food supply. In addition to the tax reductions and exemptions from the court, and the silver in savings, there should be no problem to hold on until next year's wheat harvest.

When the wheat harvest comes next year, life will return to normal.

Life is bound to be hard for a while, but as long as we are alive, we can get through this hard time, so there is still hope.

They didn't know that heavy rain would bring floods that would burst the dikes. The floods would not only destroy fields and houses, but also carry away livestock, poultry and soil!

The entire Xingcheng is flat, and the fertile soil in the fields has been washed away, leaving behind hard ground where vegetation cannot take root and cannot survive at all!

It will take at least ten or several dozen years to form fertile land suitable for planting. The land can wait, but how can people wait?

Shen Qing didn't answer directly. She looked around the room and saw the piles of grain. She said, "Sell all the grain you can while the price is right. You'll have the money and can buy more later."

Wheat is a refined grain. Farmers will keep at most 100 to 180 kilograms of it and sell the rest. They will eat corn, beans and other coarse grains at home.

When the Zhao brothers heard this, they were obviously stunned.

They were only worried about the heavy rain affecting the harvest in the fields, and never worried about the food at home. After all, the more food the better, and it would be pleasing to see it piled up there.

Yes, Sister Shen’s thatched roof is unbearable. Their adobe house also has a thatched roof. If it leaks or the roof collapses, what will happen to all the wheat if it gets soaked?

"Yes, yes, we'll take it to the city to sell it tomorrow!" Anyway, I can't bear to eat the wheat. Sister Shen is right. I will feel at ease only when I hold the money in my hands.

"Because of your share of the land this year, we bought another cart. We will use two carts to take the goods to the city to sell them. We estimate that we can sell most of them in three to five days." The family has an extra cart, which is also used to purchase household items.

After Shen Qing finished talking to the Zhao brothers, he went to the Hong family and mentioned the same thing again.

Next are the Feng and Qin families.

The Feng family was in a different situation. They had little land and were not good at farming. The wheat they harvested was pitifully small, so they did not need to be told whether to sell it or not.

All the Feng family members, both men and women, are strong and healthy. There is no need to worry about them not being able to carry things, nor to worry about them being bullied on the road.

Shen Qing: ...When the Feng family members walk on the street, others are afraid of being bullied by them.

Among the families, Granny Qin had the biggest reaction. She held Shen Qing's hand and wiped away her tears. "It's all because of that damn Liu family and Sun Gui. Otherwise, if you had fields and land, you wouldn't have gone out even in a rainstorm."

This is to hide away from the storm under the pretext of heavy rain.

Shen Qing couldn't bear to see the old man crying, so she comforted him, "It's okay, it's okay. After the rainstorm, maybe we will meet again soon."

She didn't lie to the old man. The Qin family was honest and kind, and they agreed with the decision of the village chief, Mr. Jiang. They would most likely follow him on the escape route, so they would reunite soon.

Granny Qin thought Shen Qing meant to come back after the storm had passed, and she kept saying yes. She quickly wiped away her tears and said embarrassedly, "When you get old, you worry about this and that. You never know if you'll fall or get sick and die. You're afraid to see me less.

It would be a good idea for you to go out and see the world. Maybe you can find a few more buyers for your brushes."

Shen Qingxin was worried, "You are in good health, so please take good care of yourself! There will be good days ahead, so enjoy them well."

Granny Qin's wrinkled face widened with a smile as she praised him, "You're enjoying yourself now, but it's just yours! We'll continue when you come back."

She never dreamed that they could earn fifty coins a day! They had been earning for almost two months, several taels of silver. Who in the family, from top to bottom, young and old, male or female, wouldn't be happy?

Shen Qing promised: "Okay, I'll treat you again when I'm safe!"

Granny Qin's old eyes suddenly brightened up, and she said happily, "It's a deal."

After bidding farewell to each other reluctantly, Shen Qing went to the homes of Zhao Mingyue and Li Xiulan. With Mr. Jiang leading the way, she didn't need to say much to these two families. She just informed them and said goodbye.

After everything was settled and they had dinner, the two families in Jiangguan went to bed early.

At dawn the next day, everyone got up quietly. The women went into the kitchen to make breakfast, and the men packed the bedding and put it in the carriage.

After finishing breakfast, the iron pots, bowls, chopsticks, ceramic pots, basins, etc. were also packed up and put on the cart.

When the sky turned pale, the three members of the Guan family were waiting at the door in a donkey cart.
