Chapter 203 Very Enthusiastic
Shen Yueyao was stunned when she heard what the headman said.
She thought that if she wanted to popularize potatoes and leeks, she needed to talk to everyone about them.
The people in Liuhe Village trusted her and were willing to grow this kind of crops because they tasted them last night and knew that potatoes and leeks were good things.
But do the villagers in other villages believe this too?
You have to know that the land was very precious to the villagers at that time.
What to plant on an acre of land and how to plant it require careful planning.
Because if you plant more other things, there will be less land to grow food.
"Does everyone really want to grow potatoes and leeks?"
The village head said seriously: "Ms. Shen, it's true. Everyone wants to grow potatoes and leeks. Don't you know that now people in the surrounding villages believe in you."
"I told you, there's nothing wrong with following you. Everyone wants to follow you and plant what you sow."
Shen Yueyao said: "In that case, Uncle Zheng, please help count how many pounds are needed so that I can take them out."
Anyway, she also planted potatoes and leeks in her space, and the yields of these were very high, not to mention that they were planted in the space.
There are also plenty of chive seeds, so no need to worry about running out.
The village head felt relieved when he heard Shen Yueyao's words.
After the village head had a conversation with Shen Yueyao, he hurried to arrange these matters.
Su Xueyi went to the town government office to collect silver and six dou of rice.
He took the silver and bought some things, intending to send them to his father-in-law and mother-in-law.
Using this money to buy things personally also represents his intentions.
Su Xueyi is very serious about buying gifts.
…
The next day, after Su Xueyi and Shen Yueyao finished their work, they went to Xinghua Village.
The weather was warm, and in the afternoon, many villagers in Xinghua Village had nothing to do, so they gathered on the street to chat.
Seeing Shen Yueyao and Su Xueyi coming back with their two children, they all greeted them warmly.
"Yueyao is a blessed child. Her husband passed the imperial examination and even topped the list. This is incredible."
"That's right. We in Xinghua Village all know about it, Miss Chen. Your parents are so happy. They told us about it this morning when they went to the river to wash clothes. They said their son-in-law is really good. Now everyone in the village envies her. Mr. Su is well-educated and will become a high-ranking official in the future."
There was no scholar in Xinghua Village, so everyone was very curious when they saw Su Xueyi.
They all spoke enthusiastically.
Su Xueyi also smiled and nodded to everyone.
"Thanks to Yao Niang, she takes care of my daily life so I can study with peace of mind."
"I also want to thank my father-in-law and mother-in-law for giving me such a good Yao Niang."
When Su Xueyi spoke and looked at Shen Yueyao, her face was full of tenderness and doting.
The villagers of Xinghua Village were shocked when they saw this scene.
In the past, they had all kinds of speculations, thinking that Su Xueyi didn't come to Xinghua Village to visit her parents-in-law because she didn't want to come.
I never thought that Mr. Su would be so nice to Miss Shen.
You can tell at first glance that she is loved and pampered.
This immediately dispelled the villagers' doubts.
No more casual discussions.
Many people couldn't help but sigh that the Shen family really found a good son-in-law.
Not only is he well-educated and good-looking, he is also good to his wife.
Shen Chengzhou and Cui were happy and excited to see Shen Yueyao and Su Xueyi coming with their two children.
"Yueyao sent a message earlier, saying that Xueyi passed the exam and even came in first. We were so happy."
"I went to the market early yesterday and bought some things. I was thinking of you guys coming back, so I made some for you."
Su Xueyi gave the things to Cui, and Cui sighed that her son-in-law was really good and thoughtful.
The family was having a lively meal.
The eldest brother Shen Shaoshuo and his wife Dong felt very upset when they heard the news.
Mrs. Dong sat dejectedly on the chair and said, "If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have made a fuss about splitting up the family."
She originally wanted to divide the family so that her son could go to school early.
But she had no idea that Su Xueyi's leg suddenly healed, and she even passed the imperial examination and ranked first.
With such knowledge, there is no problem in passing the imperial examination, and you may even get your name on the list of successful candidates.
Even if you are just a juren, you can still become an official in the future.
If the family had not been divided, her son would have benefited as well.
Even if Su Xueyi could help teach some knowledge, that would be something that money could not buy.
And as the saying goes, it is easier to be an official if you have connections in the government.
With someone looking after her son, if he passes the exam, it would be easier for him to become an official in the future, right?
The eldest brother, Shen Shaoshuo, said, “It’s useless to say this now.”
"You've seen what the second son and his wife are like now. They're being bullied by the villagers, and even his wife's family doesn't like her."
"Even their child Song Mao was taught to be unmannered and unruly. We can't learn from that. If we hadn't begged our parents, not only would we have been separated, we would have been kicked out of the Shen family. We wouldn't have been able to live in the village."
"Fortunately, my parents still remember our past. If we make amends in the future, maybe their anger will subside."
Mrs. Dong nodded and said, "I know everything. I know what to do."
"It just so happens that we have a few extra chickens at home. I'll kill one and send it to my parents."
Shen Shaoshuo nodded and said, “Well, send the things over and come back quickly. Don’t eat there, lest your parents be unhappy.”
"And everyone feels uncomfortable when you're there."
Dong understood.
Now they no longer dare to make trouble, and can only beg their parents to remember their old friendship.
I used to feel resentful and thought my parents were partial to me, but now I think it’s their problem.
At least they have land, and as long as they live a good life, it will be fine.
The second family has changed their surname now and has nothing to do with the Shen family.
It’s no use for the second family to make a fuss.
Dong said, "Yesterday, everyone in the village knew that my brother-in-law had passed the imperial examination. The second son and his wife had a big fight at home about it. It was quite a scene."
"Don't worry about it. They're just feeling unbalanced. They used to look down on me, but now it's useless for them to curry favor with me."
Mrs. Dong nodded.
Now they are cautious in everything they do and dare not speak carelessly in public.
…
Shen Yueyao, Su Xueyi and the two treasures had dinner with their parents, third brother, third sister-in-law and fourth brother Xuanxuan. The whole family was having a great time.
Shen Shaochen and Ye hired someone to look after the store, so now they can take time to go home and stay for a while and have a meal.
Visit the store when it's busy.
"We are currently renovating our second store. Once it's finished, I will let my brother and sister-in-law take charge of it. They first learned management from our store and are now quite proficient."
Speaking of this, the Ye family is very grateful to Shen Yueyao.
If she hadn't told her sister-in-law about this last time, she wouldn't have thought of all the suggestions her sister-in-law had given.
"Third sister-in-law, you are so polite. This will make it easier for you and Third Brother. You can go home more often in the future and don't have to rely on the store all the time."
"Yes, yes. Now when I go home, I can help with farm work at home, and I can also make more fans."
Since listening to Shen Yueyao's advice last time, Shen Yueyao's parents hired several reliable and trustworthy people in the village to help be fans.
Just working in the yard.
"But my daughter, you mentioned opening a vermicelli workshop. I still want to hear your opinion. You have experience. How should we do it specifically? Where should we build the workshop? And as for recruiting people, I still want your help and reference."
