Chapter 208 Provocation
Zhang Juexia received a letter from Zhang Dequan, asking them to return to Dahe Village as soon as possible to retrieve the hatched chicks.
Zhang Juexia and Ye Beixiu received the letter and immediately set off.
Ye Beixiu had cleaned up the chicken farm a few days ago. After bringing the chicks back, he raised them in the mountains.
Ye Beixiu and Liu Wanfeng also built several chicken coops.
On the way there, Ye Beixiu told Zhang Juexia that Liu Wanfeng liked a quiet personality and that he would be the one to do the chicken raising work in the future.
Qin Eryong is lively and active, so it would be appropriate for him to do some errands.
"My wife, I want to find a few more people, and then buy a cow or a mule. I have taken over Third Uncle's land, and I have to use it well."
"Husband, there has been plenty of rain lately, but have you ever thought about what to do when there isn't enough rain?"
Ye Beixiu thought for a moment, "My wife has reminded me that after I settle these chicks, I will dig a reservoir in a low-lying area."
"I've also checked out the land Third Uncle bought. It's not far from us. He's also cleared quite a bit of land. I think we should plant some corn, soybeans, peanuts, and the like first. We can then find out where we can buy fruit tree seedlings and plant some more."
"Well, my wife's idea is similar to mine, but is it okay to plant the corn and soybeans in advance?"
Zhang Juexia's mouth began to water when she thought of the fresh corn she liked to eat.
"Just listen to me, maybe you can even make some money."
Ye Beixiu smiled and said, "As the saying goes, listening to advice is the key to a good meal. Anyway, I've never farmed before, so it's always right to listen to my wife."
When they arrived at Dahe Village, Zhang Dequan and Wang Yuying were already waiting at home. Zhang Juexia jumped off the carriage, and Wang Yuying came forward and took her hand, "Here you are, big girl."
"Hello, auntie, hello, uncle."
"Okay, go inside and have some tea before coming back."
Zhang Juexia had already dragged Wang Yuying to see the chicks. Wang Yuying told Zhang Juexia, "After the chicks hatched, I raised them for another half a month before sending you this letter.
I even hatched a dozen extra chicks on purpose, thinking that after all, these chicks are living creatures, so it's inevitable that some will be injured or killed."
"Aunt is really thoughtful."
Zhang Dequan helped them call an ox cart, and with the help of Dazhuang, Ye Beixiu carefully placed the chicks on the ox cart.
Wang Yuying once again specifically instructed how to raise the chicks.
Zhang Juexia paid the remaining money and prepared to go home. "Aunt, when I get back, I'll check on how these chicks are doing. If they're doing well, I'll have to trouble you to help us hatch more chicks."
"Okay, as long as you take good care of it, I'll help you hatch it. But I do want to remind you that you have to be very careful with these living things."
"knew."
Zhang Juexia had already stepped out of the door when Zhang Dequan pulled her back. He whispered to her, "Your father has been very ostentatious in the village lately, saying he's buying land, and he's quite boastful about it, saying he wants to buy 20 acres of land in one go."
"Where does his money come from, uncle? Do you know?"
"You didn't give it to him?"
“My uncle knows the relationship between him and me, and I would never give it to him even if I gave the silver to a beggar.
Was this silver given by Zhang Qiuye?"
"That's right, then. Forget it, it's enough for you to know about this matter in your heart. When you go back, just live your life well with your uncle."
"I understand, uncle."
Zhang Defu also knew that Zhang Juexia had come to Dahe Village again, but this time he did not come out to look for her like last time.
Now that he has money, he can stand up straighter.
As for whether Zhang Juexia recognizes him as his father, it no longer matters.
"So what if the village head? He doesn't have as much money as I do."
Tian Caihong glared at him and said, "How can you speak human language now?"
Zhang Defu chuckled, "Our daughter Qiuye is the best. She knows how to use money to show her filial piety to us."
"Look at your character. When Qiuye gives birth to our grandson, the money she will give us as a filial gift will be more than flowing water."
"really?"
"You are stupid. Our grandson is the only boy in the Li family. Won't everything in the Li family belong to him in the future?"
“That’s true!”
Tian Caihong snorted complacently, "What do you think of that piece of land in the neighboring village?"
"Wait a little longer. After all, they are selling the land and we are buying it. We should be patient and lower the price."
"I'll do as you say." Tian Caihong hummed a little tune and went out, "I want to see what our eldest daughter is capable of.
It’s nothing more than raising a few chickens at home, growing some vegetables, and selling them in town.
After all, what does it matter if you sit in a carriage? You're still digging for food in the soil.
Compared with our autumn leaves, it is far inferior.
Think about it, if our Qiu Ye does well this time, the entire Li Mansion will belong to her in the future."
The more Tian Caihong thought about it, the more confident she became, and she completely forgot about the day she pushed Zhang Qiuye down.
She was also worried for the first few days after she ran back home.
After a few days, she figured it out. No news was good news. Zhang Qiuye was definitely fine.
Only then did she dare to take out the stolen banknotes and loudly announce with Zhang Defu in the village that they wanted to buy land.
Zhang Dequan asked Dazhuang to follow Zhang Juexia back to Yejia Village.
Firstly, he felt that after all, there were more than 200 chickens on the ox cart, and the mountain road was rugged. If something happened on the way, more people would mean more help.
Secondly, he wanted Dazhuang to follow him and get to know Zhang Juexia's home. Next time when he sent chicks, he would just let Dazhuang take someone to deliver them to her home.
The ox cart couldn't run fast, so Ye Beixiu had to slow down the horse carriage.
When Tian Caihong saw the carriage, she deliberately howled, "Is the person sitting in the carriage our eldest daughter?"
Ye Beixiu stopped the carriage and whispered to Zhang Juexia, "Do you want to go down and teach her a lesson?"
"Don't pay attention to her, let's keep going."
However, Tian Caihong refused to give up and spoke even louder than before, "Everyone, take a good look at our eldest daughter. She is truly filial.
When we got home, she didn't even bother to get out of the carriage. Even though I'm not her biological mother, I've arranged a good marriage for her, and yet she's so disrespectful to her elders."
Without waiting for Ye Beixiu to stop the carriage, Zhang Juexia jumped off the carriage angrily.
"What are you yelling about? If you keep yelling, I'll smash your mouth."
Tian Caihong was frightened by Zhang Juexia's aura and couldn't help but take a few steps back. She lost her balance and fell backwards.
"With this little ability, you still dare to challenge me. Why don't you take a piss and look at yourself to see if you are worthy of it?
You deserve your own daughter to be someone else's concubine. With your lowly appearance, you can't give birth to any good children."
Tian Caihong struggled on the ground for a long time before she got up, jumping up and down and starting to curse.
How could Ye Beixiu let her speak? He picked up a small stone and threw it over, hitting Tian Caihong in the face.
Tian Caihong covered her face and stammered...
