Villagers won't cherish things they get for free, and Lin Xue wouldn't do something so foolish.
Even the county magistrate had to pay money to buy their grain!
At most, she'll charge less money, but it's impossible for her to give up the seeds for free.
"Xue Niang, we understand what you're saying!"
"We're willing to pay any price. I wonder if you could talk to your master about providing a batch of grain seeds for our village as well?"
There are high-yield grain seeds here, and there is a big difference between planting them early or late.
Take the Liu family for example. Because they planted high-yield grain seeds early, their harvest this year not only didn't decrease because the seeds were exchanged, but actually increased several times over.
If everyone in Qingshan Village were to plant high-yield grains, whether the county magistrate came to buy them or they sold them to other villages at a high price, it would be a huge source of income.
The old village chief was a fair man, and he also hoped that his village would become a better place.
"Then I'll write to the master and ask if he can get us some more grain seeds?"
"Uncle Village Chief, you should go back and wait. Master's reply will probably be back in a few days!"
Lin Xue pretended to be deep in thought, and only agreed after a long while.
As the saying goes, things that are too easily obtained are not valued by others.
Things need to be done.
But it should also be something that people cherish.
After the old village chief left, he was immediately surrounded by the villagers.
After a flurry of questions, everyone finally quieted down when they learned that Lin Xue would write to her Taoist nun master.
After a few more days of quiet waiting, when the messenger arrived in the village, the villagers gathered around the Liu family's door.
"My master agreed and will send 2,000 jin of wheat seeds to our village."
"The seeds should arrive in the village in about two days. Uncle Village Chief, could you please find someone to receive them?"
After reading the contents of the letter, Lin Xue handed the letter to the old village chief who was anxiously waiting beside her.
When the old village chief took the letter, he saw that 2,000 jin of wheat seeds had indeed been delivered, and he was so happy that he almost danced for joy.
"Don't worry, Xue Niang. I'll have someone guard the village entrance. As soon as the grain arrives, I'll come and let you know."
Having gotten the answer he wanted, the village chief happily left the Liu family.
The villagers' way of addressing Lin Xue has changed from "Liu Qing's wife" at the beginning, to "Lin Shi" later, and now to "Xue Niang".
This change represents Lin Xue's status in Qingshan Village, as well as her primary and secondary status in Lao Liu's family.
After resolving the issue of winter wheat seeds, Lin Xue returned to a leisurely life.
That day, after feeding the little guy Liu Qingyuan, Lin Xue went to the back mountain with her husband.
This was the first time Lin Xue had been allowed to go up the mountain. Previously, due to concerns about her health, the Liu family had firmly refused to let her go to such a dangerous place as the mountain.
"Wife, you have to stay close to me after we go up the mountain, and don't wander off on your own!"
Liu Qing had given these instructions countless times along the way.
Even Liu Ping, the eldest brother of the Liu family, and Liu Qing, the second brother of the Liu family, were chased up by Old Master Liu.
Including Lin Xue, there were four of them, each carrying a basket of arrows and bows and arrows, heading deeper into the woods.
"Shh!"
"Third brother, stop talking! Your loud voice is scaring away all the little animals on the street!"
Since we're already here, what's wrong with this third brother? He keeps babbling on and on.
With those three old hunters watching over them, how could they possibly let their third sister-in-law get hurt?
"Oh, brother, I was just worried about my wife!"
Liu Qing was known in Qingshan Village as being henpecked.
Everyone knows he's afraid of his wife, but at the same time, he dotes on her exceptionally.
Although the older women would often tease him, they couldn't hide their envy.
Seeing the envious looks in their wives' eyes, the men in the village have curbed their chauvinistic tendencies and have improved a lot compared to before.
At least in Qingshan Village, it is very common for men to help with housework.
If this were in another village...
Men who do housework are often ridiculed.
"Did you hear the sound of wild boars?"
Lin Xue tugged at her husband's sleeve. This husband was good in every way, except that he talked too much.
With him around, the house always feels lively.
He alone is more mischievous than both Xiaodouding and Xiaoqingyuan combined.
"Wife, let me listen carefully!"
When Liu Qing saw his wife mention wild boar, he shut his incessant mouth and listened attentively.
"To the right front!"
Before Liu Qing could even get a result, Liu Ping had already drawn his own conclusion.
"Third brother, take good care of your sister-in-law. I'm going with my eldest brother to go check on her!"
Upon hearing the sight of wild boars, Liu Qing couldn't resist any longer and ran off after his older brother.
"Wife, let me help you!"
Liu Qing reached out his hand, wanting to help his wife up.
Lin Xue slapped his hand away in disgust and walked quickly forward.
Going hunting with a henpecked husband is practically a form of reverse masochism.
This is so fucking frustrating.
"Big brother, hurry and shoot that one! That little pig is about to escape!"
"Second brother, stop shouting and hurry up and help!"
"If we can take down this whole litter of wild boars, we won't lack meat this winter!"
"Oh no! The little pig ran away, ran away, ran away..."
Liu Qing was busy dealing with the big one when he felt a dark shadow flash by and discovered that a small pig had already run away.
