Chapter 128 Rice Fish Accident
Aunt Zhou also spoke.
"That's right, kids. We're counting on you from now on. These people are not going to give up the land here unless they get it."
After hearing this, Su Hanchu spoke to comfort her.
"Uncle Zhou, don't worry. We have long considered ourselves members of Guanping Village, so naturally we will stand together with everyone in Guanping Village. Uncle Zhou, you and Aunt Zhou are both injured today, so go back and apply some medicine first! As for the Yan family, we will fight them all. We are not afraid."
Then he took out a bottle of ointment.
"Uncle Zhou, Aunt Zhou, this is medicine for injuries. Remember to apply it several times when you go back. If you feel any discomfort, we can go see a doctor. If you need a carriage, come to Jun's house at any time."
Aunt Zhou quickly refused.
"That's unacceptable! You've already won ten taels of silver for us, so how can we still ask for your ointment? This ointment looks very valuable."
Su Hanchu stuffed the ointment into Aunt Zhou's hand.
"Aunt Zhou, just take it. No matter how expensive or good this ointment is, can it be more valuable than the feelings between us? We have known each other for such a long time, and we always help each other out when we have something to do. Aunt Zhou, I'm really unhappy if you're being so polite."
Aunt Zhou took the ointment after hearing this.
"Okay then, Aunt Zhou will accept it."
But I was thinking that it would be appropriate to give the young couple something when I got home.
After everyone left, Jun Moye took Su Hanchu's hand and walked towards Jun's house.
"Madam is very majestic today."
Su Hanchu pursed her lips and smiled as she looked at him.
"Same here, my husband didn't do badly today."
After walking for a while, Su Hanchu spoke with a serious expression.
"My dear, why did the Yan family buy the entire village's land for eight taels of silver? You should know that eight taels of silver per mu of land is not a small amount of money."
Jun Moye's expression also became a little solemn.
"Just like the Yan family said, eight taels of silver is already a high price. They said this place is suitable for growing an orchard, but there are several similar villages nearby. Why did they buy Guanping Village? I'm afraid there must be some profit to be made. If it's just a simple fruit plantation, there shouldn't be such a big fuss. They can just choose a few pieces of forest to cultivate it."
After hearing this, Su Hanchu fell into deep thought.
"What's there to gain from this village? All I see is land."
Jun Moye thought for a moment before speaking after hearing this.
"The Yan family won't give up. And if I'm right, since they have a document, even if it's an unstamped one, then it means they're not simple, or the person behind them is not simple. A fox will always show its tail. Let's just wait and see."
But the following days were surprisingly quiet, and no one from the Yan family showed up.
The weather in May was very good, so Su Hanchu took Chuntao, Qiukui, Ping'er and Liu Ling to the mountains to look for medicinal herbs.
Jun Moye taught Jiang Like and others martial arts in his spare time. Born into a large family, they naturally knew some kung fu before. Mo Hua and several other children were also called to learn horse stance. The Jun family couldn't stay here to farm forever, and as a member of the Jun family, it would be best for them to be able to protect themselves in the future.
Various medicinal herbs, such as plantain, wild mint, dendrobium officinale, roxburghii, etc., grow better in this season.
"Ma'am, there are plantains here. Wow, there are so many of them."
Listening to Chuntao's exclamation.
Su Hanchu spoke with a smile.
"This plantain is the most common. It can promote diuresis, dissipate dampness and stop diarrhea, improve eyesight, and clear the lungs and resolve phlegm. So it sells very well in the pharmacy after it's picked."
Chuntao and a few others spoke while picking plantain on the mountain.
"Ma'am, how do you know so much?"
Su Hanchu also squatted down to pick herbs.
"I spent a few years in the border area and often traveled in the mountains. I met a folk doctor there and learned about some medicinal herbs."
When the sun set, everyone had collected a lot of medicinal herbs.
Another person picked up a bundle of firewood and took it back.
Su Hanchu spoke with a smile.
"You haven't had a proper stroll around town since you came here, right? Tomorrow, you can each go and sell your own herbs. You can also stroll around town and buy whatever you want."
Chun Tao spoke upon hearing this.
"Ma'am, are we all going?"
Su Hanchu spoke as he walked back.
"Yes, I'll take you shopping tomorrow. Now that life has settled down, you can relax and get familiar with the town. When the rice is harvested this season, I plan to open a restaurant in town. Then our lives will be better."
Qiu Kui is now a lot more cheerful.
"Madam, I've been learning cooking from you lately and I'm pretty good at it. If you really want to open a restaurant, can I work in the kitchen?"
Upon hearing this, Su Hanchu turned around and looked at her.
"I didn't expect our okra wanted to be a chef. Of course, that's fine. What's wrong with that? If you're interested, I'll teach you how to cook a few dishes."
Liu Ling also spoke.
"Madam, I want to learn too. When I was in the palace, I thought my mother was in the kitchen."
Su Hanchu agreed immediately after hearing this.
"Okay, I'll teach you anything you want to learn. By then, our Jun family's restaurant will definitely become the best-performing restaurant in town."
Chuntao suddenly spoke.
"Madam, we are all going to town, what should we do with the rice fields?"
Su Hanchu thought for a moment and then spoke.
"That's fine. We'll check it out early in the morning, then head out to town. We'll be back in the afternoon."
But only a few people walked down the mountain.
Then Liu Shan came running hurriedly.
"Ma'am, it's bad. Many of the fish in our rice fields are dying."
Su Hanchu was shocked when he heard this.
"What's going on? Wasn't everything fine yesterday?"
Liu Shan spoke anxiously.
"I don't know. When I went to the fields today to check, I saw a lot of fish lying around lazily. Upon closer inspection, I found that quite a few of them were already lying on their stomachs."
Su Hanchu quickened his pace as he listened.
"I'll go check it out, does the young master know?"
Liu Shan spoke as he followed Su Hanchu.
"I see. The young master is also in the rice field, but I can't find the reason."
Su Hanchu became anxious when he heard this. He had been raising fish for several months and started jogging.
Chuntao and the others hurriedly followed, their hearts filled with worry. They were the ones who checked on the fish every day and fed them themselves.
Came to Jun’s rice fields.
I saw Jun Moye squatting on the edge of the field, looking at the rice field with a worried look on his face.
"Jun Moye, how are the fish?"
