Chapter 129: The Evil Mother-in-Law Meets the Violent and Lazy Daughter-in-Law (16)
During the autumn harvest season, the rice fields shrouded in evening mist are filled with people.
"Don't tell me, Lingzi is amazing. Last year she had 30 acres of corn, and this year she added another 30 acres of rice."
"Who says it's not true? She farms the land, and I benefit from it. I can earn one yuan a day by harvesting rice for her, which is thirty yuan a month."
"Don't think about it. Didn't you see that there are more people here today than yesterday? Even though there are only 30 acres of rice, with so many people harvesting it, it will be finished in a few days."
"I won't talk to you anymore. I have to cut it off quickly. I also promised my dog that I would buy him some candy after work today."
People were harvesting rice in the field, chatting as they harvested.
Liu Shufen, who was following the crowd, became more and more angry as she listened. She also worked very hard, so why did they have money while she had nothing?
She doesn't get paid for the work, and she doesn't get paid for selling the grain. What's the point of doing this job?
Liu Shufen sat down in the rice field, and all the strength in her body seemed to be drained away at once.
"Aunt Liu, if you don't want to do it, go out. Why are you blocking the road here?"
"This is my family's land. I can stay wherever I want. What's it to you?" Liu Shufen said as if she had eaten a firecracker.
The man was thinking about making money and didn't bother to waste time arguing with her, so he moved to the side to cut another row.
Soon, in the rice field, only the circle of rice next to Liu Shufen was left unharvested, which looked very eye-catching from a distance.
Liu Shufen wanted to get up and harvest the rice, but she felt a little unwilling. After a while, she got up and harvested the rice, then took a sickle to chase the large group of people harvesting rice.
When Liu Shufen got home from work in the evening, she squatted at the door with a steamed bun and a bowl of vegetable porridge in her hands, and glanced in the direction where Muyan was sitting from time to time.
The mouth that was biting the steamed bread trembled for who knows how many times, and finally she made a sound. She pretended to cough a few times, and her posture was comparable to that of a big leader who was about to make an important speech.
"Lingzi, you hire someone to harvest wheat for one dollar a day, and the three of us are also harvesting wheat. Can you give us some money as well?" She wanted money, but was also a little afraid of being beaten. Her tone was very kind, and the corners of her mouth were raised and never fell.
When Liu Shufen said this, Yang Tie and his son, who were squatting next to her, were so shocked that they forgot to chew the steamed buns in their mouths. They puffed up their cheeks and did not dare to look up at Muyan. They only dared to glance in her direction from time to time with the corner of their eyes.
Mu Yan didn't say anything for a long time, and the room became completely quiet for a while. The sound of drinking vegetable porridge that was there before was now completely gone.
The steamed bread in Liu Shufen's hand was almost crushed by her.
"You eat my food and live in my house, and now you want to ask me for money. Is there such a good thing in the world?" Mu Yan finished a bowl of vegetable porridge and spoke.
"Lingzi, I don't want more. One, two, or three cents will be fine," Liu Shufen continued with a smile.
Mu Yan shifted her gaze to Yang Tie and his son, "You want it too?"
"don't want,"
"No," the father and son said in unison.
Liu Shufen was so angry at the father and son that she almost rolled her eyes. She couldn't get angry, so she could only put on a smile and continue talking.
"Lingzi, I need this money in case I get sick or have a disaster in the future. I'll have to trouble you again and ask you for money."
Mu Yan saw her face which looked uglier than crying and sneered, "Don't worry, even an old ox is not as strong as her." Indeed, Liu Shufen not only had a tough heart, but also a strong body. Giving birth to a child was the most dangerous thing for her in her life.
Although Liu Shufen was old, her mind was still clear. She knew that if she continued talking, she might get beaten, so she closed her mouth unwillingly.
Even after the thirty acres of rice were harvested, Liu Shufen still hadn't received a penny.
All sixty acres of crops were harvested and sold before winter.
Muyan quickly became a celebrity in the surrounding villages. Everyone knew that a rich woman had emerged from Yangjia Village.
Although Liu Shufen was not liked by the villagers before, for Muyan's sake, the villagers treated her much closer than before.
But she just doesn't know what it means to stop when things are going well. If others are good to her, she insists on them giving her eight times as much. If they don't give her anything, she will chase them for more and force them to give her.
After a while, those who wanted to curry favor with her no longer gave her a good look when they saw her.

Li's Courtyard,
Wu Ying held her little grandson in her arms and didn't dare to say a word. She never expected that the girl whom she had disliked since childhood would become so capable now.
"Look, just look, Li Ling is your daughter. She has become rich now, but she never comes back to see you as her mother. You always knew it would be like this. You should have strangled her to death when she was born," Yang Yun was sitting on a bench in the middle of the yard. Seeing Wu Ying's eyes staring at him, he felt like cursing for no reason.
Wu Ying buried her head in her grandson's back, not daring to refute a word, and let her scold her.
Yang Yun cursed for a long time, then got tired and kicked Li Gang.
"You talked about making money at the beginning of the year, and now it's the New Year, where is the money you earned? Ah, where is the money?"
Li Gang squatted on the ground, covering his foot that was hurt by Yang Yun's step, and had nothing to refute. At the beginning of the year, he went to see the village chief and wanted the village to issue a certificate so that he could take out a loan and contract some land to become a millionaire like Li Ling.
As a result, he took the certificate issued by the village and went to the credit union to apply for a loan. When he asked, he found out that the interest alone was several hundred yuan a year.
After finding out everything, Li Gang finally didn't make up his mind. If it didn't work out, he wouldn't be able to pay the interest alone in a year.
He originally planned to finish everything before telling Yang Yun to give her a surprise, but in the end it didn't happen and he didn't tell her.
His ambitions were completely dashed by the interest rate charged by the credit union.
"Mom, go to my parents' house after breakfast tomorrow. Go find Li Ling and tell her that you are sick and need money. I don't believe she is really so stingy," Yang Yun said, and Wu Ying was so shocked that she suddenly raised her head from her grandson's back.
She didn't want to go. In the past, the two of them always came back with injuries, and if she went, she might also come back with injuries.
When she went to Yang Yun's parents' home that time, she realized that her daughter had no feelings for her anymore.
Wu Ying was extremely unwilling, but after breakfast the next morning, she was still pushed out of the house by her son and daughter-in-law.
Yang Yun and his wife were afraid that she would just stay somewhere else and not ask Mu Yan for money, so after pushing Wu Ying out of the house, they simply followed Wu Ying to Yang's house and asked a neighbor to help look after the child.
