Chapter 124: The Evil Mother-in-Law Meets the Violent and Lazy Daughter-in-Law (11)
It took the Yang family of three nearly a month to pick all the thirty acres of corn.
The Yang family's yard couldn't hold so much corn, so Muyan pushed down the backyard wall and expanded it outward a lot. There was no time to build a wall, so she temporarily built a large wall with the corn stalks in the field.
The corn is dried and spread out in the backyard. As far as the eye can see, there are patches of golden color.
The villagers had never seen so much corn in their lives, and the backyard built with corn stalks suddenly became a place that the villagers wanted to visit again and again.
"How much do you think those corns should be sold for?" Liu Shufen secretly asked Yang Tie beside her in bed at night.
When Yang Tie thought of those corns, his eyes were filled with happiness. He had been farming all his life, but he had never seen so many corns.
As for how much it would sell for, he had no idea.
Liu Shufen didn't get a response, so she kicked him on the leg.
"You are deaf. I am talking to you, but you can't hear me, right?"
"I don't know," Yang Tie replied in a muffled voice, turned over, closed his eyes and went to sleep.
Liu Shufen also turned over and faced away from him. Those corns must be able to sell for a lot of money. She worked very hard for almost a year. If he didn't give her a share, she would risk her life to fight him.
At night, Liu Shufen dreamed that she was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling, and she took a stack of banknotes and counted the money in front of the group of gossips in the village.
The next day, after breakfast, Muyan took the three members of the Yang family to the backyard.
The corn that was picked a month ago is now completely dry and all we need to do now is threshing it.
"One per person, start with 500 kilograms a day," Mu Yan said, pointing to the three manual threshing machines in front of her. There are no large threshing machines here now, so only these manual machines can be used.
Mu Yan was already very satisfied with this. In this place where there is no electricity, it is not easy to have a machine. Even if it is manual, its speed is dozens of times faster than human power.
It was the first time for the three members of the Yang family to see this kind of machine. They were all more excited than each other, and at the end of the day, they all exceeded the task requirements.
For dinner, Muyan served each of the three people a bowl of corn porridge and a piece of pickled cabbage.
In this era when machines are not popular, she now needs the three of them to farm for her. If any one of them fails, it will be her loss.
Just eat a few steamed buns. She is not such a stingy person.

Wu Ying was teaching her grandson to walk in the yard. When she looked up, she saw Yang Yun walking towards her with a cold face.
Wu Ying's heart immediately hung in the air, and she forced a smile on her tense face, which was uglier than crying.
"You're back, Gousheng can walk now, look," she tried her best to divert Yang Yun's attention to her grandson.
Yang Yun saw through her thoughts and snorted. When he was two steps away from her, he stopped and stared at Wu Ying without even looking at the child.
"Your daughter has become a millionaire, did you know that?"
Wu Ying takes care of the children and cooks at home every day. How could she know what is happening outside?
"Isn't she crazy? How can she become a millionaire?" Wu Ying wondered.
When Yang Yun heard her words, he hummed even louder.
"Crazy, have you ever seen a madman who leases 30 acres of land and plants 30 acres of corn?"
Wu Ying suspected for a moment that something was wrong with her. How could Li Ling possibly lease 30 acres of land? Where did she get the money?
Seeing her stunned, Yang Yun bent down and picked up his son, saying sarcastically,
"It's no use saying that now. Now everyone in the surrounding villages knows that your daughter has become a millionaire. I heard that the town will personally visit her at my parents' home in a few days."
Wu Ying replied absentmindedly, "Really?" and turned to do something else.
A millionaire! Even the richest village chief's family in their village is not yet a millionaire. How come her daughter suddenly became a millionaire? Wu Ying was busy with her hands, and she was so excited that she didn't know what to do.
Li Gang also heard in the fields that Li Ling had become a millionaire, but he didn't take it to heart.
The last time I went back to Yang Yun’s parents’ home, Li Ling looked like a completely different person. If Li Gang said she was crazy, he would believe it.
If she suddenly became a millionaire, Li Gang felt that it was not her who was crazy, but he.
He knew very well what Li Ling's situation was like since she was a child. With her dull brain, how could she possibly become a millionaire?
After finishing work and returning home, as soon as he entered the yard, Li Gang noticed that the atmosphere in the yard was a little strange.
He quietly put down the hoe and tried to make his presence as minimal as possible.
Despite this, it still caught Yang Yun's attention.
"Look at you, a grown man, hunched over all day. Someone who knows you thinks you're in your thirties, but someone who doesn't would think you're fifty."
Li Gang walked to the center of the yard in silence and picked up his son. "I'm a rough old man, so it doesn't matter if I'm older. You're young and good-looking, that's all."
In the past, when he coaxed Yang Yun like this, even if Yang Yun was furious, he could suppress it a little and just gouge out his eyes, but today his trick obviously had no effect.
"I am young, but what makes me young and good-looking? Is it because I eat steamed bread every day? I can't even eat white flour all year round."
"Li Gang, think about it carefully. I've suffered with you, and you don't feel guilty. Your son has to eat coarse food with you, and you don't feel guilty either."
Yang Yun's words, which had never been said before, caught Li Gang off guard. Yang Yun had scolded him for everything in the past, but never in this regard.
"What's wrong with you? If you want to eat white flour today, I'll go buy it for you now," Li Gang said and glanced at Wu Ying who was busy behind Yang Yun.
He then realized that his mother's eyes were not right today.
"What's wrong with you?" he asked, completely dizzy.
Yang Yun snatched the child from his arms and snorted.
"Your sister, Li Ling, has become a millionaire. Haven't you heard?"
Li Gang was startled. He didn't expect that she had heard about it too.
"How could she possibly become a millionaire? You..." Li Gang was interrupted by Yang Yun before he could finish his mocking words.
"How is it impossible? We're going to visit my parents in town in a few days. How could this be false?"
Li Gang was stunned. Really, his stupid sister had become a millionaire.
Wouldn't that mean he would also be a rich man?
Li Gang was so excited that he completely forgot that he was beaten by his own sister and had to kneel down to beg for mercy.
"Wife, don't even think about eating white flour. From now on, I'll let you eat meat for every meal," Li Gang suddenly became energetic.
Seeing his swollen look, Yang Yun rolled his eyes in annoyance.
"Don't forget, she may not recognize you as her brother after she beat you last time."
Li Gang's excited heart was instantly doused with a basin of cold water.
Yang Yun glanced at him and said casually,
"You said the mayor is going to visit her, so there's nothing wrong with us going to see her. After all, you're still siblings."
"Yeah," Li Gang replied listlessly.
Suddenly, he seemed to understand something and became energetic again.
"Wife, let's wait for the day when the mayor comes. I don't believe she would dare to hit anyone in front of the mayor."
"Okay," Yang Yun agreed happily.
