On this day, Old Mrs. Liu cried particularly loudly.
"Hey, Mom is really smart. When she was paralyzed, we checked her body from throat to anus, but there was nothing. To our surprise, she was able to find something at the last minute. Amazing..."
"That's right. Now she's really gone. If I starve her for a few days, I can almost get the gift money."
"That's right."
The two daughters-in-law were discussing with laughter.
Not long after the New Year, the news of Old Lady Liu's death spread back to Hexi Village, and Old Lady Zhao was asked to go to the funeral. Old Lady Zhao knew better than anyone how Old Lady Liu died.
With the intention of seeing things through to the end, she returned to Shanghe Village alone, took a hundred coins as a gift and left.
When I was about to leave, the Liu brothers grabbed me and refused to let me go. They said, "Your mother is dead, so you must take ten taels of silver with you. She doesn't even have a coffin, only a roll of mat."
Old Mrs. Zhao sneered, "She gave you all her kindness in her life, and you had the heart to do it. I've done my best for her, and I'm kind enough to send her off at the last minute. Remember, you reap what you sow. I've spent my whole life tending to you two, and this is all I got. Don't follow in my footsteps."
After saying this, Old Lady Zhao went back in her own carriage.
Upon hearing this, the two brothers of the Liu family felt a chill inexplicably at their backs. They looked at their sons, Liu Shengzi and Liu Shuanzi, who were not far behind them. They looked exactly like themselves when they were children.
They were all raised and spoiled by Grandma Liu... Can the same formula lead to the same results?
If there was anything that Old Lady Liu left behind, it was raising her two grandsons.
The Liu family seems to be an inseparable cycle.
…
After that comes spring plowing.
The government distributed grain seeds every year, but Zhao Taoyin called on the villagers to stop planting the government's grain seeds and plant the seedlings she provided for high yields.
These seedlings are modern seedlings that she specially cultivated in space. They can produce twice as much as ancient ones and have fewer diseases and pests.
But the villagers didn’t know and were a little hesitant for a moment.
The Zhao family is good at doing business, but they are not as good as them at farming.
So Zhao Taoyin had no choice but to use his trump card and said, "Anyone who plants the seedlings provided by the Zhao family will receive a subsidy of 300 coins per mu of land."
So someone immediately took the lead in trying it.
Later, under the promotion of Village Chief Song, the seedlings were quickly distributed. Almost half of the villagers planted the seedlings provided by the Zhao family. The whole Hexi Village was bustling with spring plowing.
But Zhao Jiadazhu was so greedy that he went crazy.
Zhao Taoqin always knew that his elder brother had a heart for farming and was keen on planting. However, the Zhao family did not have much land, so he wanted to discuss with Zhao Taoqin about buying a few acres of good land, even if it was a little expensive, because these lands were the roots of their descendants.
From now on he just wants to farm well.
To do business, Taoyin and Sanzhu are enough.
Although he felt a little flattered when he was called Boss Zhao for the first time, Zhao Dazhu still wanted to farm in the final analysis.
Zhao Taoqin also understood this. Although the Zhao family was rich, the good irrigated land in the surrounding villages was priceless. Everyone knew that good land was the foundation of their descendants.
Unless there are special circumstances, most people will not sell their land.
