After a while, Cheng Shun and Cheng Wen also came back.
Seeing Cheng Wu show up at home in the middle of the day, Cheng Shun started cursing.
"Can't work in the government anymore? Are you planning to go look for Ning Wazi's mother again? Look at your achievements, you are almost outdone by your nephew! Why does Master Jinxing look down on you and like Jinxing instead? Isn't this just because you are useless! Humph, day by day..."
Cheng Shun took a sip of water and started chattering.
He directly compared Jin Xing with Cheng Wu. Of course, if he were at home, Cheng Shun would never say good things about Jin Xing.
Cheng Wu was in a good mood today and didn't say anything back, just letting Cheng Shun talk.
"Alright, alright, you keep cursing me all day long. Why are you acting like a woman?"
Jiang interrupted Cheng Shun impatiently.
"Mom, it's okay, just let Dad talk!"
Cheng Wu, this masochist, is asking for scolding.
Cheng Shun and Jiang looked at Cheng Wu as if they had seen a ghost.
Jiang, in particular, even stepped forward and touched Cheng Wu's forehead to see if he had a fever.
Because from childhood to adulthood, whenever Cheng Wu was scolded, he would either hang his face and ignore it, or argue and get beaten. There was really no time like now when he would smile and yell at you to scold him.
She was worried that her younger son might have a brain burnout like her older son, because only older sons could be so stupid.
"You little brat, were you bullied in the government office?"
Cheng Shun felt something was wrong and asked with a frown.
"No! Lord Ji is very kind to me! Besides, even if Lord Ji wasn't there, no one in the government office would dare to bully me!"
Cheng Wu shook his head.
"Then you've been possessed by evil spirits?"
Cheng Shun also stepped forward and touched his forehead.
The temperature is normal!
"Dad, Mom, Big Brother, Second Brother, it's time to eat!"
Cheng Shun wanted to ask more, but Cheng Yue was already calling people to eat at the kitchen door.
At this time, Shanshui also came over.
The whole family sat down at the table.
"Uncle Shun, I bought a few people from the pawnshop this morning. Some of them know how to farm. I'll take them with you to the fields this afternoon!"
Shanshui said at the dinner table.
"What?"
Cheng Shun paused his chopsticks.
"Shanshui, you bought people? What kind of people? Are they all men? You didn't buy any girls, did you?"
Jiang asked worriedly.
"Aunt, we don't have any daughters. We do have a little girl, only six or seven years old. She was sold along with her father and grandfather. I saw that her father and grandfather were quite strong, and after asking around, I learned that they used to do farm work, so I bought her. The other two are young men, seventeen or eighteen years old. One is mute, and the other has a slight limp, but they're all farmers."
Shanshui explained with a smile.
"You scared me to death! I thought you were thinking of buying a little girl to serve you now that you haven't married our Fatty!"
Jiang patted his chest.
"No, Shanshui, why do you want to hire someone? Didn't you buy five acres of land before? You can't even take care of five acres of land?"
Cheng Shun stared at Shanshuidao.
Isn’t this kid too reserved?
If you can’t handle it, don’t you still have him?
If he really wants to marry his daughter, wouldn't he, as her father-in-law, help with a few acres of land?
Cheng Yue put down the bowl. Well, it seems that the thing I was planning to talk about in the evening has to be brought forward.
"Dad, Shanshui plans to buy some wasteland to grow melons. He'll definitely not be able to take care of it all by himself if he buys several hundred acres. So, he needs to hire a few people to help."
Cheng Yue spoke.
Cheng Wu and Shanshui came back together. On the way, Shanshui told him the purpose of buying people. He held Ning Wazi in his arms and fed him without interrupting.
