Chapter 77: Secret Passage
Everyone dispersed quickly, their eyes filled with contempt.
The reputations of the Qi family and Uncle Luo are completely ruined.
Qi was not convinced and forced Uncle Luo to go to Lin Mo's house to ask for clarification. She told him to make a scene. She couldn't let him be with Luo Shuyan for these few years. He wanted to get rid of her but it was impossible.
What this means is that he should pay silver as "compensation".
Uncle Luo fell headfirst onto the tattered mattress, closing his eyes and pretending to be dead.
He was also angry and wanted to grab Lin Mo and yell at him. It wasn't that he didn't want to go, it was that he didn't dare.
He remembered the last time he went to Lin Mo's house to make trouble, and Lin Mo's sharp and fierce eyes like a knife stared at him, and he couldn't help but be scared.
He was so fierce back then, now that he doesn't want Luo Shuyan anymore, he will definitely be even fiercer towards me
Qi herself didn't dare to go.
Unable to swallow it all, she cursed Luo Shuyan as a waste who couldn't even keep a man.
But no matter what, Luo Shuyan must get better quickly. Only when she is better can we continue to exploit her.
They had come to realize that this family couldn't do without Luo Shuyan. Without her work, this family wouldn't feel like a home at all.
Qi herself was unwilling to take care of Luo Shuyan, so she asked Luo Shuyu to take care of her.
The so-called care is to feed her water, porridge three times a day, and help her go to the toilet, that's all.
However, even so, Luo Shuyu felt very aggrieved and she was unwilling.
Who the hell is Luo Shuyan? Is she worthy of her care?
She didn't care at all. Apart from the three meals a day that she reluctantly prepared for her, she never paid any attention to Luo Shuyan.
Qi knew about it, but he turned a blind eye and was too lazy to say anything.
If Lin Mo had not secretly brought food to Luo Shuyan, if Luo Shuyan was really sick to this extent, I'm afraid she would have been killed by them.
Luo Shuyan's condition became more and more serious. Knowing that Lin Mo didn't want her anymore, she felt hopeless. She didn't react at all to Luo Shuyu's impatient complaints and curses, and even fainted in front of Luo Shuyu.
Luo Shuyu thought she was dead, and was so scared that she dropped the bowl of porridge and ran out crying.
However, although he didn't die, everyone who saw this shook their heads and sighed, saying that Luo Shuyan might not be able to make it.
Qi also thought so, and felt cold and didn't bother to pay attention.
He even wanted to throw her into a cave outside the village to avoid her dying at home and bringing bad luck.
At this time, an old lady from the village found Uncle Luo and Mrs. Qi and wanted to buy Luo Shuyan. She said that a family wanted to buy her to bind the soul of their deceased son.
Seeing that Luo Shuyan was dying, Qi wanted to throw her out immediately. She agreed without caring whether Luo Shuyan was still breathing a breath, but she had a condition. She didn't have to wait until Luo Shuyan died before sending her away. She wanted the buyer to take her away now.
The buyer agreed and spent ten taels of silver to buy Luo Shuyan.
Uncle Luo and his family actually breathed a sigh of relief!
Uncle Luo and his wife were so disgusted that Uncle Luo had a fight with Uncle Luo and immediately severed all ties, refusing to have any further contact between the two families. He didn't have a brother who was so cold-blooded to his core. It was fine that Shuyan was beaten and scolded by them and had to do so much work every day, but they were her parents' children. As children, they were told to do work at their behest, and no one could say anything.
But she was about to die, and instead of taking good care of her and letting her live out a few days in peace, they actually wanted to sell her off to someone for a ghost marriage! This was a death sentence that would never allow An Sheng to die.
But this was his brother and sister-in-law's family's business, and he couldn't stop it at all.
But he would never associate with such people again.
Anyone who changes will do the same
What no one knew was that Luo Shuyan's indenture contract soon fell into Zhao Liya's hands, and Luo Shuyan also entered the Zhao family.
Lin Mo was so grateful that he wanted to spend double the money to buy out Luo Shuyan's indenture contract, but Luo Shuyan persuaded him: "Let's talk about it later. It's not too late to bring it up again after this matter has been resolved."
Zhao Liya also smiled and said, "You can take this indenture contract away at any time, but Shuyan is safer in our house now."
That's true. Lin Mo asked the Zhao family to take care of Luo Shuyan, and then sent several pheasants over.
The Zhao family was so happy that they could taste Luo Shuyan’s cooking skills again!
The autumn harvest has passed, and Zaihu Village and Bajiaozhai are discussing with the Zhao family about reclaiming the wasteland they bought.
Zhao Liya had originally planned the same thing, so she nodded in agreement.
In addition to clearing the land, the sugarcane in the sugarcane field also needs to be cultivated and fertilized again.
After this second round of soil cultivation, you can start harvesting in more than two months.
The sugarcane harvest period is very long, and sugar can be extracted while it is being harvested.
With the experience of cultivating the soil once, the people in Zaihu Village were more skilled. Zhao Liya gave some instructions and asked Qu Yutao to supervise and look after them.
The land reclamation work was also carried out at the same time in full swing.
Construction has also begun on the wasteland near Bajiaozhai.
The head of the village and the two patriarchs of the Pan and Lai families took charge of the overall situation. Pan Erzhu also took charge of some of the work, helping to assign tasks to the villagers. Everything was in good order.
Everyone was working hard, thinking about the wages they were about to get.
I heard the big boss is going to build some kind of workshop and make something out of potatoes! Now they have a way to make money, and they don't have to envy Zaihu Village anymore.
Everyone should work hard and try to persuade the big boss to buy more land in the village!
For the first two or three days, Zhao Liya and Hu Ling were there to supervise. They solved any problems they found in a timely manner and pointed out any mistakes in a timely manner. By the way, they also selected a place to build a workshop.
And when the villagers were clearing the land, they circled some trees and left them there.
The villagers in Bajiaozhai are as hospitable as those in Zaihu Village. Zhao Liya and Hu Ling can bring a basket of fruit home every day.
There are papayas, jackfruits, pears, grapes, pomelos, and more. There's even dragon fruit.
Zhao Liya was overjoyed. She asked for a few branches and took them back to plant them in the open space outside the backyard. She wondered if she could harvest her own dragon fruit next year.
The sugarcane in the sugarcane field is growing well, rising higher and higher, and the rows are densely packed yet neatly arranged, which makes people happy just by looking at them.
Thinking that the harvest is not far away, everyone is even more excited and looking forward to it eagerly.
Zhao Liya and her friends go to Zaihu Village and Bajiaozhai every day. They go out together in the morning and return home together in the afternoon.
Now that we have a new member, Luo Shuyan, at home, she is an excellent cook, especially at making a grand dinner. She has braised pork elbows, braised pork, boiled pork slices, boiled fish, stir-fried eel slices, coconut chicken, etc. Everyone can't help but look forward to this meal every day.
Sometimes Yu Xiaofang would come over and eat. He would not eat here, but would take the food back to eat with Lin Mo.
Lin Mo had tasted his wife's cooking in advance, and game was sent to the Zhao family from time to time.
It's so good now. He doesn't have to save up for the betrothal gift to feed his wife's unscrupulous and greedy parents. He plans to renovate the house so that he can marry Luo Shuyan.
