Chapter 9 Planning
Liang Jinyu was moved by what he said. In recent years, Daliang has had good weather and good harvests in both the north and south. However, this has also led to low prices for grain, which hurt farmers, and many farmers have switched to growing other crops.
But what everyone didn’t know was that in the next few years, natural disasters and man-made disasters occurred frequently in Daliang, and the price of grain would only get higher and higher, even to the point where selling one’s children could not buy a pound of coarse grain.
Now that I have been reborn and have decided to leave the Chen family as soon as possible, I should make some preparations for the future.
Thinking of this, Liang Jinyu had an idea. As the saying goes, buy cheap and sell high. Maybe she could take this opportunity to make some money.
Once the thought comes, it cannot be stopped.
Liang Jinyu casually answered Chen Lai Fu and went to the cowshed with the bowl to find Ding Fang.
The moonlight is cold and the wind is blowing in gusts.
Liang Dingfang was cleaning the cowshed with a shovel.
Hearing the voice, he turned around cautiously, and when he saw the person coming, his expression instantly jumped: "Sister."
"Come over and eat something first." Liang Jinyu called.
Liang Dingfang put the shovel down against the cowshed and trotted over to Liang Jinyu in two steps.
"Sister, have you eaten?" Liang Dingfang wiped his hands and took the bowl and chopsticks.
"You've eaten. This is for you."
After hearing this, Liang Dingfang couldn't wait to wolf down the food.
"What have you been doing with Chen Laifu these past two days?"
After Liang Jinyu and Chen Lai Fu got married, she was worried that the Chen family would dislike Ding Fang for eating for free, so she let Ding Fang go out to work with Chen Lai Fu.
One reason was to make money, and the other was to let him learn more skills to make a living.
Liang Dingfang paused, lowered his head and said vaguely: "I didn't do anything, I just helped others burn charcoal."
Noticing that the other person's voice was not right, Liang Jinyu asked worriedly, "Did they give you a hard time?"
Liang Dingfang tightened his grip, but still couldn't help but raise his head: "Sister, don't you understand? I'm not doing this for myself, I'm doing this for you! Chen Laifu is not worthy of you, I don't want you to suffer here."
Liang Jinyu was surprised, then suddenly smiled: "Don't worry, I have a plan."
"You always say that. That old hag can beat and scold you today, but who knows what she will do to you tomorrow. Sister, let's go. There is always a place for us in this big world."
"No, we must get the household registration certificate, otherwise we will have to hide for the rest of our lives." Liang Jinyu shook her head with a firm attitude.
God has given her a chance to be reborn, so how could she possibly escape from the battlefield? Besides, Chen Lai-fu would not let her go so easily.
Liang Dingfang slumped his shoulders, turned around and sulked.
Liang Jinyu laughed, took the initiative to step forward, and whispered: "Don't be impatient, listen to what Sister said..."
"Sister, why are you checking this?" Liang Dingfang asked in confusion.
"Just listen to me. Remember, don't tell anyone else about this."
Liang Dingfang always obeyed Liang Jinyu's words. Although he felt doubtful, he still agreed obediently.
...
The next day.
Before dawn, Chen Lai Fu got up quietly.
Although the two of them were in the same room, they slept in separate beds with a curtain drawn in the middle that was closed during the day.
In her previous life, Liang Jinyu was moved by this for a long time, thinking that Chen Lai Fu really cared about her, but now she only felt it was ironic.
We all live under the same roof, how could Wang not notice such a big thing?
The mother and son, one with a pale face and the other with a red face, managed to scare her into a trance.
Hearing the noise here, Chen Laifu asked tentatively: "Miss Liang is awake?"
Liang Jinyu put on her clothes and said, "I'll go cook for you guys."
"No need. There's some leftover rice porridge from last night. I can just have a couple of bites." Chen Lai Fu said considerately, put on his shoes and walked out.
When he reached the door, he couldn't help but secretly peek inside, and his face immediately turned pale with fright.
In the dim light, Liang Jinyu was standing beside the bed with disheveled hair, staring at him intently, as if she had known that he would peek.
"I, I'll go out first." Chen Lai Fu lowered his head and quickly walked out of the room.
Liang Jinyu sneered, picked up the wooden hairpin on the bed and casually made a bun.
When I opened the curtain, I saw Chen Dani yawning as she came out from the opposite door.
"It's so cold, why are you up?" Liang Jinyu walked over and helped her straighten her collar.
Chen Dani looked down and muttered softly, "Something happened."
"What can happen to a little kid like you? Go back to your room and get some sleep. I'll leave you a cake later."
"I said I had something to do." Chen Dani waved away Liang Jinyu's hand and ran out in a flash.
Liang Jinyu was stunned, not understanding what was going on.
But she soon found out the reason. Chen Dani wanted to follow Chen Lai Fu to the city, saying that she had never been there since she was a child and wanted to go and take a look.
The result is obvious. Not to mention that Chen Lai Fu was going to the city to work, even if he was going to catch up, he could not take Dani with him.
Chen Lai-fu appears to be an honest man, but in reality he is extremely hypocritical.
In the previous life, Wang had actually asked him about selling Dani, but if he had not been willing, the matter would never have been accomplished.
But he pretended to be a filial son in front of Wang and said he would obey his mother in everything. Then he turned around and cried to Dani, saying that he had no choice and asked Dani not to blame him.
In short, it is others who are hateful, and he is the most innocent.
Wang Dani begged for a long time, but Chen Lai Fu remained unmoved. Instead, Wang Shi in the room heard everything.
Wang stood by the window and scolded Chen Dani with all kinds of dirty words, but at least Chen Dani stopped talking.
"Sister." Liang Dingfang entered the kitchen, hesitating to speak.
Liang Jinyu handed him a freshly baked pancake, which was especially soft with an egg on it. "Tell me?"
Liang Dingfang looked back outside and lowered his voice: "Do you think there's something wrong with Chen Dani?"
Liang Jinyu laughed dumbly and rubbed Liang Dingfang's head: "You are smart. She was frightened when she fell into the water yesterday, so her temper has changed a little. I think it's a good thing."
Liang Dingfang frowned, feeling that something was odd, but since his sister had said so, he didn't care.
While they were talking, Chen Lai Fu also walked in. Liang Dingfang frowned, turned around and left.
Chen Laifu rubbed his hands awkwardly: "Well...it's getting late, we should leave."
"Take the cake with you and eat it on the way." Liang Jinyu handed the wrapped cake to Chen Lai Fu.
"Hey, Miss Lao is here." Chen Lai Fu took it with both hands in surprise, then secretly glanced at Liang Jinyu without moving.
Liang Jinyu: "What's wrong?"
Chen Laifu wiped his hands on his side and stammered, "I know I shouldn't say this, but just think of it as me begging you, young lady. Can you...can you lend me some money first?"
"What did you say?" Liang Jinyu's voice turned a little colder.
Chen Laifu hurriedly explained, "Didn't our family lose money yesterday? My mother was upset. I was worried that she would cause trouble for you in the future, so I thought of giving her some compensation so that she would feel better and would not bother you. Don't worry, I will definitely return the money to you when I get paid!"
The same excuse again. Liang Jinyu sneered inwardly and showed an embarrassed look on his face: "If I had money, I would have given it to you yesterday."
