Chapter 273 Wait until the autumn harvest to give it to me
Yang Tao was really anxious. She trusted Shang Ruoting's judgment the most. If Sister Ruoting said something was good, it must be one hundred and twenty good.
But she was also clear about her family's situation and knew that they really didn't have much money.
She didn't want to give up such a good opportunity.
"Sister Ruoting, to be honest, all our money was used to build greenhouses, and this fertilizer..."
After Yang Tao said this, Shang Ruoting finally understood what Yang Mei was worried about.
She slapped her forehead lightly and said, "Look at me, I didn't think so much. It doesn't matter if your family has no money at the moment. I have already paid for the fertilizer. You can use it and give it to me after the autumn harvest."
It's not that Shang Ruoting is being too generous. This is also because she has understood the character of the Yang sisters after a period of contact.
Although the two sisters have different personalities, neither of them likes to take advantage of others.
Such a person is also her good friend, so why not help him?
When Yang Mei heard Shang Ruoting say this, she wanted to refuse. She owed her good friend too much and would not ask for it again and again.
Before Yangmei could refuse, Yangtao took the initiative.
"Sister Ruoting, thank you for taking care of my family. We can write an IOU and pay it back during the autumn harvest."
She knew that her family owed Shang Ruoting a lot. It was with Sister Ruoting's help last year that the family's life got better.
In her heart, as long as she works hard with Sister Ruoting this year, she will definitely make further progress than last year. This is also a good opportunity for their family to completely get out of poverty.
Although I owe Sister Ruoting another favor, she is still young and will have plenty of opportunities to repay her in the future.
Yangmei was already conflicted, and when she heard Yangtao say it, she swallowed the words she wanted to refute.
"Ruoting, Taozi is young and naive..."
"Taozi, you're right. I'm lending you this fertilizer temporarily, not giving it away. You can return it to me when the autumn harvest comes." Shang Ruoting interrupted Yangmei's next words.
Seeing this, Yang Mei didn't say anything more. To be honest, she also really wanted to use the fertilizer that Shang Ruoting mentioned.
After the Yang family settled the issue of using chemical fertilizers, Shang Ruoting went to Aunt Chen's house again.
Although Aunt Chen Si's family is not the richest in the village, they have many laborers and live a pretty good life.
It is still possible to spend some money to buy fertilizer. Besides, Aunt Chen Si, like the Yang sisters, has unconditional trust in Shang Ruoting.
Therefore, they agreed to buy fertilizer very readily.
Shang Ruoting finished the fertilizer distribution issue before slowly walking towards her home.
Just as I walked to the door of Shang's house, I heard a noise coming from the yard.
"Oh...I don't want to live anymore...this is so unfair..."
"All the men are lazy...Other people have already plowed their fields, but we still have so much left..."
"Shang Lichun, I can't live like this for even a day...divorce..."
Then, another round of slapping sounds was heard: "Pa pa pa..."
"You stinky bitch, you deserve a beating. I'll beat you to death today..."
Such scenes are commonplace for the Shang family, and the onlookers never get tired of watching them.
In a short while, a lot of people gathered at the door of the Shang family.
Shang Ruoting had no interest in their quarrel at all. She watched for a while and then left. After all, even if these two people's brains were beaten into pigs, they would not divorce...
She also heard about Zhang Lanxiang contracting four acres of wasteland. After all, this matter had become the hottest topic among the villagers.
Shang Ruoting was just curious, why would that lazy family, who didn't even know how to cultivate the nine acres of arable land they were allocated, contract wasteland?
It would be fine if they just contracted the wasteland, but they didn't even bother to reclaim it, just leaving it there.
Regardless of the Shang family's purpose in contracting the wasteland, judging by its current state, they've definitely lost money...
Under Tan Chen's arrangement, all the greenhouses and farms built on the wasteland were completed.
In order to reward Tan Chen, Mrs. Shang specially made dumplings in the evening.
While eating, Mrs. Shang looked at the white dumplings and said, "Foods made from these fine grains are delicious."
These words caught Shang Ruoting's attention, and at the same time, an idea arose in her mind.
Her family was allocated nine acres of land, and she originally planned to use part of it to grow seasonal vegetables and the other part to grow corn like the villagers.
According to the climate here, it is entirely possible to plant corn in spring and a batch of winter wheat in mid-October.
In this way, grain can be harvested twice a year.
Thinking of this, Shang Ruoting directly expressed her thoughts.
"Grandma, Tan Chen, let's start planting corn tomorrow. After the corn is harvested, I plan to plant some winter wheat."
