Chapter 218 Knowing the limits and knowing when to advance and retreat
Liu Xiaoyun coaxed Shu Bao to sleep and saw Mo Yiran come in with a panicked look on his face.
I can't help but feel surprised:
"Sister-in-law, what happened to you? Where have you been?"
Mo Yiran's earlobes blushed, and she secretly thought it was bad luck. She was afraid that she would get a stye tomorrow and make people laugh.
But he touched someone's dirty handkerchief.
He had no mood to answer Liu Xiaoyun's words, so he replied randomly:
"I went to Yunyue's place to take a look. I didn't dare go in."
Mo Yiran secretly thought that she would have to talk to Shen Yunyue tomorrow. She didn't have any ideas, so she liked to tell Shen Yunyue when she encountered something, so that she could know and make a decision.
Fu Xuanting has been living with the two of them in the past few days.
She always felt that Mo Yiran was lying.
Fu Xuanting suppressed the doubts in her heart and did not show them.
"Auntie, I'll go get some water for you to wash." Fu Xuanting has been behaving particularly well recently.
It was as if she was just possessed by evil spirits during her exile.
"No need, I can do it myself." Mo Yiran took a deep breath, concealed the discomfort in his heart and walked out.
Shen Yunyue has been very busy these days.
Fortunately, Ye Cang was in Yunjiazhuang, so she didn't need to go there.
There are dozens of acres of wasteland to the south of Baijia Village, near the foot of Taiping Mountain.
There are many wild animals near Taiping Mountain.
Ordinary people will not come here to reclaim wasteland.
Shen Yunyue took a fancy to this place.
A field of about ten acres was leveled yesterday.
I got up early, washed and had breakfast, and planned to go to the wasteland to level the land with a tiller.
Mo Yiran came over jogging.
"Yun Yue. What have you been doing these two days?" Mo Yiran hadn't found Shen Yun Yue for two consecutive days.
"I found a few wild tea trees in the mountains and forests, and I'm thinking of hiring someone to pick tea and make tea for the workers at home these days." Shen Yunyue walked to the edge of the yard, picked a light green wild flower, and put it in her hair.
He casually picked two flowers and put them in Mo Yiran's hair.
"Mom, do you have something to ask me?"
Mo Yiran was anxious and irritated these past two days and couldn't sleep well, and a blister appeared on the corner of his mouth.
When she heard Shen Yunyue ask her, she felt a little embarrassed to say it.
"Hey. You know I can't hide things. Either I tell your father or I tell you." Mo Yiran twisted the handkerchief in his hand, a hint of sadness rising between his brows.
Shen Yunyue took Mo Yiran's hand and sat with her in the yard.
Mu Ya was called over and a set of exquisite tea set was served.
There was a wide-mouthed bottle on the table, with a few wild flowers and a handful of foxtail grass in it.
"Mom, I'm your daughter, so what can't I say?" Shen Yunyue poured Mo Yiran a cup of rose tea.
The roses are baked with nv'erhong.
Just use rose flowers to make tea.
Mo Yiran drank half a cup of tea, put down the cup, and told what happened to him two nights ago.
"I've been feeling uneasy these past few days. I can't explain the feeling."
"Mom, you said you lost someone else's handkerchief?"
"Well. Of course I threw away such a dirty handkerchief." Mo Yiran snorted coldly.
In Mo Yiran's eyes, Feng Xiao'e and the others' behavior before were worthy of being thrown into a pig cage.
Starving to death is a small matter, but losing one's chastity is a big matter.
"Where did you lose it?"
"It's next to my house, but is there something wrong?"
Seeing Shen Yunyue frowning, Mo Yiran couldn't help but feel nervous.
"It's okay, you just lost someone else's handkerchief." Shen Yunyue comforted.
"But I lost my handkerchief, too."
Mo Yiran hurriedly said it again, “I was too panicked, you don’t know how embarrassing it is.”
"Mom, it's okay if it happens."
Shen Yunyue felt like comforting her, "You did the right thing. If you alarmed them, it would be bad."
"Remember to ask Ou Ruoyang and the others to accompany you wherever you go during this period, or ask a boy to come over and ask Mu Ya to accompany you."
"Don't worry, there are blisters at the corners of your mouth."
"Tomorrow we're bringing back Daddy's tablet. He'd be heartbroken to see Mom's haggard appearance."
Hearing Shen Yunyue's gentle comfort, Mo Yiran felt at ease.
She thought that if the handkerchief was lost, it would be easy for someone to use it to do something bad.
"Yunyue, but I always feel uneasy."
"Don't be afraid. I'll ask Yingfeng to check it out. Just do whatever you need to do. It's others who are afraid, not my bun mother."
Mo Yiran smiled embarrassedly.
"My personality is very similar to Baozi, right? Your grandfather also said that if I marry into a powerful family, I will die without a burial place."
"Your grandfather knew this about me, so he chose me as a son-in-law from the list."
"Mom. We don't need you to be too tough. Just remember to tell me and Yunfeng everything. And be sure to bring Ou Ruoyang and the others with you when you go out."
Shen Yunyue knew that it was difficult to change people's nature, so Mo Yiran just had to tell them everything.
Besides, Mo Yiran is just talking at best.
Don’t dare to do anything that will make her and Shen Yunfeng unhappy.
"I'll listen to you."
Mo Yiran has been obedient all his life.
I listen to my parents at home, listen to my husband when I get married, and now I listen to my daughter.
"Yunyue, this rose tea tastes delicious."
"Pack a packet for you to take back." Shen Yunyue said softly, "Mu Ya. Take a packet of rose tea and give it to Madam to take back."
"I'll go right away." Mu Ya responded and went to the small room next to the kitchen to get tea.
Shen Yunyue looked up at the tree.
Yingfeng jumped down directly.
"Yingfeng, go check on the eldest son of the He family and find out who he's close to." Shen Yunyue pondered for a few breaths. "If necessary, get evidence from them."
"Yes. I'll go right away."
Yingfeng is a secret guard and is best at gathering information.
"Mom, I'll go back with you."
Shen Yunyue took the tea leaves that Mu Ya handed over to her.
"I'll go check on the road construction."
Mo Yiran responded, "What do you want to eat for lunch? I just learned a new dish called pickled duck feet, so it's almost time to eat it today."
"Okay. I'll have lunch with Xuan Heng and Rong Ting at noon."
"Ask Sister Ou and the others to cook a few more dishes."
As the two talked, they walked towards the Shen family.
After sending Mo Yiran to the place, Shen Yunyue looked at the large open space in front of the yard and had an idea. "Mom, ask Mrs. Chen San and the others to come over and help you plant some vegetables in front."
"Plant some flowers and plants in the backyard, the ones you like."
Mo Yiran's nose was sore, "Would it be bad to plant flowers and plants here?"
"There's nothing wrong with it. We have a big place, so we don't have to worry about running out of space to grow flowers. I'll ask Uncle Si to find some nice flowers and buy them back."
Shen Yunyue handed the tea bag in her hand to Mo Yiran and walked towards the village entrance.
Halfway there.
She met the uncle of the He family's main branch, who looked at Shen Yunyue with a sinister expression.
He clenched his fists in his sleeves and followed Shen Yunyue's gaze.
"If you look again, I'll dig out your eyeballs." Shen Yunyue kicked a stone at him.
Uncle He was unable to dodge and was hit on the leg.
"Shen Yunyue, don't be so arrogant."
"You're full of trouble. I advise you not to have any bad ideas. Otherwise, you won't want to live. I don't believe that your grandson doesn't want to live either."
Shen Yunyue could tell from his eyes that he had guessed that it was the Shen family who knew about his scandal.
Uncle He's eyes darkened, "I don't understand what you are saying."
"I, Shen Yunyue, am a very simple person. I don't want to meddle in other people's affairs, and I don't want to see or hear anything."
"If someone gets the wrong idea and thinks they can control me with just a little thing."
Shen Yunyue's smile was filled with murderous intent. "I will let him know what he will regret most in this life."
"Uncle He, you must be a man who knows your limits." Shen Yunyue patted the non-existent dust on her body, "Don't worry, I'm just chatting with you."
"Mr. He naturally knows how to act and when to advance and retreat."
Finished speaking.
Shen Yunyue walked away.
Uncle He was left standing alone on the side of the road, his face like a colorful canvas.
He stared at Shen Yunyue's back indifferently, chewing on the meaning of her words.
I couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat on my back.
That day, he couldn't help but perform the Zhougong ceremony with a young wife from the Lu family behind him.
I never thought that I would be seen by others.
He quietly took the handkerchief and followed the advice of the young wife of the Lu family to catch the person who was peeping.
It’s Shen Yunyue?
Uncle He's original plan was stillborn.
He dared to confront other people in the Shen family, but he didn't dare to provoke Shen Yunyue.
This girl is so weird.
Besides, throwing dirty water on her is useless.
Uncle He suddenly felt extremely depressed and thought about going to the town to buy a silver hairpin to cheer up the young wife of the Lu family.
After Shen Yunyue's words, she knew that Mr. He would definitely take action.
It also makes it easier for Yingfeng to find something to hold against him.
Arriving at the entrance of the village, I walked along the small path heading north.
On the way, I met people from Baijia Village in groups of three or four.
"This year's harvest is not good, I'm afraid the price of grain will rise sharply."
"There are only a few sparse wheat crops in the field. I take care of the crops more attentively than I do my parents-in-law."
"Don't mention it. My men and brothers stay in the fields when they have nothing to do. But this harvest is so bad no matter how you look at it."
…….
Several women from Baijia Village passed by Shen Yunyue and greeted her with smiles on their faces.
Shen Yunyue stopped them and asked:
"Is the harvest in the fields bad?"
"Miss Fu, you guys have to reclaim the wasteland too, right? We ordinary people rely on the weather for our livelihood. Occasionally, we have a good harvest, but the price of grain is low."
“Are there many potatoes grown in our village?”
"A lot, the yield is higher than that of wheat and rice."
"What's the production volume?"
"If the crops are good, we can get 400 kilograms. Normally, we can get around 300 kilograms."
Shen Yunyue didn't expect that the potato yield in ancient times was so low. She remembered that the minimum yield per mu in modern times was more than 4,000 kilograms.
Thought of this.
Shen Yunyue had an idea in her mind, as there were plenty of potatoes in the space.
It would be better to sell the sprouted potatoes to the villagers.
