"Zhengbao is such a good boy, he's really grandma's good grandson!"
The next morning, Ye Dalong and Widow Liu set off.
Wang Zhengbao ran to Ye Juaner's fields several times a day, but he didn't see anyone starting to harvest the crops.
In the evening, Widow Liu and Wang Dalong returned from the capital. Wang Zhengbao immediately went to greet them and said, "Grandma, I checked several times today, and there was no one in Ye Juaner's fields, let alone harvesting the crops."
After he finished reporting the situation, he immediately asked, "Grandma, Dad, what good things did Auntie bring me?"
"Grandma bought you some delicious food, take it and eat it." Widow Liu wanted to change the subject, but Wang Zhengbao kept asking.
"Grandma, what did my aunt get me? Let me see."
After being pestered by her grandson to no end, Widow Liu said, "Oh, your father and I went to the city this time, but we didn't see your uncle and aunt at all.
"Your uncle is currently being used by the master family and is very busy. We cannot disturb him.
"When your aunt comes back for the New Year, she will definitely bring you delicious food and toys."
Widow Liu said this with certainty, but she still felt a little uneasy in her heart.
After arriving in the capital today, the mother and son went straight to a corner gate behind the Qin Mansion as they had done in the past.
After knocking on the door, Widow Liu said, "Excuse me, we'd like to speak to Manager Yang Xingyang. If he needs anything, he can speak to his wife. I'm his mother-in-law."
The few times they came before, the doorman was very welcoming and would quickly call Ye Dafeng over and take them in.
Although they could only sit and talk in the courtyard where the servants lived, they were not qualified to go to other places in the Qin Mansion.
But for Widow Liu, she felt that she had been to the Qin Mansion many times, and every time she returned to the village, she would brag about it to the villagers.
But today, after I knocked on the door, the person who came out was someone I had never seen before, and the expression on his face was very different from before.
Menzi had a cold face, his eyes almost rolled up to the top of his head, and asked in a bad mood: "Who are you looking for?"
"You can find Manager Yang Xingyang, or Yang Xingjia." Widow Liu added, "Yang Xingjia is Ye Dafeng. I'm her mother. Just say her eldest brother and I are in town to see her."
When Menzi heard about Yang Xing and Ye Dafeng, he immediately frowned and said, "They are no longer in the mansion. Don't come looking for them anymore."
Widow Liu became anxious when she heard this. She pushed against the door and asked anxiously, "What do you mean he's not in the house anymore? If he's not in the house anymore, then where did he go?"
The doorman said impatiently, "It's almost harvest time, so Manager Yang and his wife have been transferred to the farm to oversee the harvest. They won't be back for a while."
"That's not right. How long does the autumn harvest take? How can you say you won't be back for a while?" Widow Liu asked relentlessly.
"How long will the autumn harvest take?" Menzi snorted and said disdainfully, "Do you think it's your family's one and a half mu of land? Do you know how much land the Qin family has in total?
“Besides, you are from the countryside, you should know that autumn harvest is not just about the busy days of harvesting.
"Then there's the drying, threshing, and storing... If it's a good year, we'll be busy all the way until the New Year!"
Menzi sent the mother and son away with just a few words.
After they had walked quite a distance, Widow Liu asked in confusion, "Dalong, what did you mean by what you said just now?
"Are Guye and Dafeng being given important positions or being punished?"
"Mom, do you even need to ask?" Wang Dalong said confidently, "How important is the autumn harvest?
"Can the Qin family entrust such an important matter to my brother-in-law? Isn't it just a matter of giving him a high position?"
"Oh, you're really quick-witted and right. If it's not reuse, what else could it be!"
After hearing her son's analysis, Widow Liu was immediately delighted.
"Oh, I was saying that your brother-in-law is so capable, he will definitely be more and more important.
"Okay, let them do their work. If that doesn't work, we can hire someone to help.
"The autumn harvest is only a few days long. We can take care of the rest ourselves. It shouldn't cost much."
"Okay!" As long as he doesn't have to do the work himself, Wang Dalong has no objection to hiring people or spending money.
Although he didn't know how much money Widow Liu had, it was definitely a lot.
Widow Liu is usually very stingy. She saves money and never spends it or gives it to herself.
Now that she is finally willing to spend some money, I can save some effort, so why not do it?
Widow Liu gave Wang Zhengbao some candies and snacks that she had bought in the city, which temporarily appeased him.
"You have to keep a close eye on Ye Juan'er's family these next two days. Once they start harvesting, come back and tell me, okay?"
Wang Zhengbao held the snacks and candies and nodded happily.
Two days passed like this. Widow Liu began to feel uneasy when she saw that most other families in the village had already started their autumn harvest.
At lunchtime, she couldn't help but ask, "Zhengbao, hasn't Ye Juan'er started the autumn harvest yet?"
"No! I've told you multiple times, no, no, no!" Wang Zhengbao threw down his chopsticks impatiently. "You ask me eight times a day. If you don't trust me, go and see for yourself!"
Wang Dalong frowned and said, "Zhengbao, how dare you talk to your grandma like that? And you even dared to throw your chopsticks? Have you grown arrogant? Why don't you apologize to grandma?"
Wang Zhengbao turned his head away, his face full of dissatisfaction.
"You..." Wang Dalong said as he raised his hand.
The chopsticks in Widow Liu's hand hit the back of Wang Dalong's hand with a bang.
