That day, someone from the Zhou family came to settle accounts with them. Fang Qing waited at home early in the morning and met with Mrs. Zhou in the morning.
Dressed as a woman, she was completely different from before; Zhou Ning now acted like the head of the household.
Not only was Fang Qing stunned, but even Zhao Shi almost didn't recognize her.
"Bean Sprout, elder brother and sister-in-law, some things at home have kept me occupied. Have you been waiting for me?"
Zhao then came to her senses.
"No, please come inside and sit down."
Zhou Ning brought two accountants with him, and together with Zhou Ning, the three of them spent the whole morning calculating the accounts.
Fang Qing noticed Zhou Ning's slender fingers flying across the abacus, and she couldn't help but scrutinize Zhou Ning.
Her eyes and brows radiated confidence.
Fang Qing had already asked Xiao Dou to calculate the accounts, and they were exactly the same as Zhou Ning's.
Of the 120 mu of land, after deducting the wheat Fang Qing kept for herself and the seeds sold to the villagers, the Zhou family harvested 180,000 jin, and in the end, the Zhou family needed to pay them more than 360 taels of silver.
The wheat is still stockpiled, so the Zhou family naturally can't come up with the money and can only write an IOU to Fang Qing.
I wanted to invite Zhou Ning to lunch, but she said she had to go to a few warehouses and left in her carriage.
Seeing her like this, Fang Qing was truly happy.
Looking at the IOU stamped with the Zhou family's seal, Fang Daniu and Zhao Shi could hardly believe it.
Neither of them had ever seen so much money in their lives.
More than three hundred taels! They became rich overnight. It's unbelievable.
As Zhao looked at it, her eyes reddened.
Just a year ago, she felt there was no hope in life.
Even the tough guy Fang Da Niu felt a lump in his throat, never expecting that such a life was given to him by Dou Ya.
Looking at the child whispering to Zhao Shi'an, Fang Daniu was momentarily dazed.
Bean Sprout has changed a lot. Before, Bean Sprout had never been close to him. She would always lower her head and not dare to look up at him when she spoke.
No matter what the child is like, he is still his good child.
He put the IOU away and then went to the village's pig slaughterhouse to buy two pounds of pork ribs; they were having a big meal today.
"Brother, now that we have money, is there anything you want?"
Fang Qing just wanted to be good to Zhao Shi'an.
"No."
"How are the new clothes? I've grown taller, and my old clothes don't seem to fit anymore."
"unnecessary."
"There are also books. I know you like reading, so next time we go to the county town, let's go to the bookstore."
Zhao Shi'an looked at her profile and couldn't help but smile.
"Don't you want anything yourself?" he asked.
"No."
Zhao Shi'an rubbed her head and took out something hanging from a red string from his pocket and handed it to Fang Qing.
"What's this?"
"The stone I found."
The prime minister, who once dominated the court, now seemed somewhat flustered.
He was hesitant to give this away.
Fang Qing held the small pendant in both hands.
Upon closer inspection, the stone resembles a small rabbit, with holes drilled through its ears.
"Is it a little rabbit?"
"Um."
"I really like it, thank you, brother!"
As she spoke, she put the small pendant around her neck.
She was genuinely happy.
If even the biggest villain is giving gifts, it means Zhao Shi'an is no different from an ordinary person now.
This person will become a good person in the future; they will not destroy the world or do bad things.
Her eyes sparkled, and she looked at people as if they were precious treasures.
Zhao Shi'an was somewhat embarrassed.
"What are you looking at?"
"I'll always be your brother, right?"
Zhao Shi'an tapped her on the head.
"Of course."
"Will you always be good to me?"
"nonsense."
Fang Qing chuckled.
"I will always be good to my brother."
Zhao Shi'an thought to himself, "I've already been very good to him."

Zhang Daikui had mentioned wheat to Fang Qing before, and Fang Qing had specially saved some wheat seeds for him, thinking of having someone notify him. Unexpectedly, Zhang Daikui arrived in a horse-drawn carriage that afternoon.
Fang Qing knew that he had also rented a lot of land and left him nearly three thousand catties of seeds.
"Bean Sprout, it's so kind of you to still remember me. I thought I'd made a wasted trip today!"
"How could that be? I could forget anyone but Grandpa Zhang."
Zhang Daikui rubbed her head.
"Let's go inside and settle the accounts. I brought all the money with me."
Fang Qing invited him into the house.
“Our family cooperates with the Zhou family to sell wheat seeds. We sell them for four coins, while the villagers sell them for five coins. But Grandpa Zhang is different. I'll sell them to you for two coins.”
Zhang Daikui subconsciously looked at Fang Daniu.
He even wondered if Fang Qing was joking, and who was really in charge of this family.
Fang Daniu smiled, and then Fang Qing continued, "However, I also have conditions."
"you say."
"Uncle Zhang wants to help promote my seeds. I want everyone in your village and the surrounding villages to plant my Sunny Wheat seeds."
Zhang Daikui laughed heartily.
"That's easy. Everyone in our village has heard about your wheat harvest. If they knew you were selling seeds, they would all rush to buy them."
"They're not coming to my house to hoard goods; they're going to the Zhou family grain station in the county town to buy them."
"Okay, I've got it. I'll make sure you sell every last grain of your wheat seeds!"
Zhang Daikui paid someone to load all the wheat seeds onto the cart.
With the Zhou family in charge of the wheat seeds, Fang Qing's family began busying themselves with planting the next season's crops.
Half of the 120 mu of land is used to grow corn, and the rest is used to grow peanuts.
