Chapter 150 We are helping each other
The eldest branch of the Shao family is naturally not short of money nowadays.
When Qiao Xuan suddenly thought of this matter, she mentioned to her mother-in-law whether she should buy two cows to raise.
Fang refused without even thinking about it.
In Fang's words, "Why buy it? It's just giving other people a discount! It won't make you angry or quarrelsome. It's better to rent it when you need it. It won't cost much anyway!"
Fang now had a lot of money in her hands, and she was very confident and didn't mind spending money to rent an ox to make a plow.
Since Fang said so, Qiao Xuan naturally listened to her and even praised her mother-in-law for her thoughtful consideration.
Now that the plow and harrow were ready, Fang took out some silver and had already made arrangements with the acquaintances in the village who had cows, so that they, their father, sons and brothers would not have to do such heavy work.
There is not much land at home, only less than seven and a half acres.
You should know that the yield per mu is very low at this moment. One mu of land can yield just over 400 kilograms of grain. If it is a bad year, it may even be less than 400 kilograms.
These 400 kilograms are rice with husks. After removing the husks, only 65 or 66 kilograms of rice will be obtained from 100 kilograms of rice.
With so many people in the family, you can imagine how tight their life was throughout the year. Many times they had to eat a mixture of taro, various beans, pumpkin, winter melon, and dug yams to barely get through the year.
The problem of the plow and harrow at home was solved and everyone was happy.
Mrs. Xu was particularly happy because her husband was always the most tired one in previous years, after all he was the eldest son.
This year is much easier!
Unexpectedly, the two shameless uncles Shao Er and Shao San came to the house today and asked the eldest wife to plow and harrow for them.
Of course they don't have any cows, but they definitely have some money. However, they would rather not use the labor of the big family than spend their own money.
Fang had made a fuss about this matter in previous years, but to no avail.
The eldest son of the family did not fail to help them in any way he should.
This year, Fang is particularly confident and aggressive.
No matter what, he would not let Shao Dalang and others go to help.
Uncle Shao pretended to be friendly and said, "Sister-in-law, this is not helping you. We are helping each other. Isn't it like this in previous years? Let's do spring ploughing together, right? How about we do yours first and then ours this year!"
“Yes, yes, yes!”
In order to make Fang calm down, Second Uncle Shao and Third Uncle Shao tried their best and said things they would never have said before.
Fang saw it more clearly. To put it bluntly, these two guys were just strong in appearance! She was really stupid before.
Fang sneered rudely: "Do it together? Forget it! Every year it's us, Dalang and Sanlang, who suffer. This year we have to pay for the plow and harrow, so you two families should do it together!"
"What!"
"Where did you get the money?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Second Uncle Shao and Third Uncle Shao looked at each other and understood: Qiao!
It must be the money given by Qiao!
It’s great to marry a rich daughter-in-law!
The two of them felt sour and jealous.
Uncle Shao said sourly: "Hehe, the life of Big Brother and Big Sister-in-law is really different now. It's good to have a rich daughter-in-law!"
Fang was stunned, and seeing that they had misunderstood and kept silent, she simply went along with it and acquiesced.
The more they thought about it, the more uncomfortable they felt.
Since it doesn't work with Fang, he goes to play the family card with Uncle Shao and sings the same tune with him.
Uncle Shao didn't dare ask his daughter-in-law to give money to the second and third rooms to make plows and harrows, but he also felt that the spring plowing could not be delayed.
