Chapter 271 Zeng Mingzhu discovers something fishy
Xu Zhichun: "Next year I plan to plant cotton and some other crops. Anyway, hire someone to clear the land and make it as level as possible. Also, add straw to the cowshed and compost it."
It is obviously not enough to make fertilizer for so much land by herself, but fortunately there is plenty of organic fertilizer in her warehouse, so she is not worried.
Next year she will plant cotton, peppers and tomatoes. She has good varieties of seeds, so she doesn't have to worry about poor results.
Peppers and tomatoes are picked fresh and sold to the provincial capital, while cotton will be sold after it is harvested in autumn.
Manager Mao was even more surprised and hurriedly advised: "Madam, cotton is not that easy to grow. Although they are all crops, crops are different from each other. I am afraid that no one on our farm knows how to grow cotton. By then..."
By then, you might lose everything and be laughed at by the neighboring villages.
The most important thing is that if everything is blamed on him and he is blamed for poor management, he will have nowhere to cry.
Liang Mingxuan: "Manager Mao, just follow my sister-in-law's arrangements. If my sister-in-law says it's okay, it will definitely be okay."
Manager Mao: “.”
Xu Zhichun smiled and said, "Don't worry, I know what's going on."
"Yes, ma'am."
Okay, he's already reminded me anyway.
Maybe he was overthinking it, he was confused. Madam and the Second Master's family must be good at growing cotton, otherwise they wouldn't say that!
He is so confused!
Manager Mao became excited and excited again. "Cotton is a good thing. In Qingyang County, no one is good at growing cotton. No one grows it. Madam and Second Master are good at it. In the future, our farm will be the only one that can do it. So, we don't have enough farmhands now. Madam and Second Master should consider transferring more people or buying more. When the time comes, it would be best if we have our own people or tenant farmers to grow the cotton. Even if we hire outsiders, we can't let them touch everything. After the cotton is planted, we have to arrange for patrols. We have to have people watching over the fields and the farm. We can't let anyone sneak in and learn from us."
Xu Zhichun was surprised and amused. Was growing cotton here such a rare thing? She had thought it was just an ordinary thing, but she hadn't expected it to be so special.
But it should be okay. After all, even if cotton planting doesn't happen in this county, it happens in other places. It's not something that comes out of nothing, so it's not expected to be too eye-catching.
"Manager Mao is right. You should teach these people first and then add more people next time."
"Yes, ma'am."
Manager Mao was very excited, as he had never seen cotton grown before!
Xu Zhichun and his companions left the village and went straight home.
Half a day is just enough time.
In Qingyang County, Zeng Mingzhu had been playing dumb for two days and had finally reached her limit. She couldn't help but sneer at her husband, "Qi Tong and Qi Gui have been very busy these past two days, running around outside all day long. I wonder what your husband is busy with? Do you want my help?"
Young Master Qi felt a little guilty and embarrassed.
Don't think he didn't hear that she was mocking him or that she didn't know what he was doing.
He met Xu Zhichun by chance that day, and he was already furious because of her. Later, Qi Tong followed the person and lost him, which made Young Master Qi even more upset.
He was unwilling to give up, so he asked Qi Tong and Qi Gui to search all over the city for the past two days, trying to find Xu Zhichun and the others.
After all, the county town is neither small nor big, and they are unfamiliar with the place, so it is still easy to find them.
Unexpectedly, after seeing Qi Tong following, Xu Zhichun started talking about how Young Master Qi might not give up so easily. She had given benefits to the clerks and the manager at the inn's counter and had politely made excuses to explain the matter. Qi Tong and Qi Gui had no chance of finding out.
They basically went to the farm outside the city again and did not go out shopping. Of course, Qi Tong and Qi Gui got nothing.
The more they couldn't get what they wanted, the more itchy and restless they felt. The two useless followers had been scolded by Young Master Qi a lot in the past two days.
Zeng Mingzhu sneered, "I'm afraid they've already gone back. Even if Qi Tong and Qi Gui dig three feet deep into the ground, it might not be of any use. My husband should just calm down."
Young Master Qi was a little embarrassed: "What nonsense are you talking about!"
"Why am I talking nonsense? It's true. I don't understand why my husband is against me. That bitch Zeng Xiaoyan has been rebellious since she was a child. Now that she's married, she thinks she's even more powerful now that she has someone to lean on. She doesn't even take me, her legitimate sister, seriously. Time and again, she's caused me so much trouble and hurt me so many times. Instead of venting her anger on me, my husband is obsessed with making friends with them. Isn't this just trampling on my face?"
"What's so good about that little bitch? The Liang family are just country bumpkins, and they're worthy of your husband's initiative to make friends! I really don't understand!"
Young Master Qi was stunned: Is that what she thinks?
"What nonsense are you talking about? I'm making friends with them? What are they?"
"Oh!"
Young Master Qi's heart was moved. He hadn't expected that Madam Xu would be so difficult to deal with. She turned a blind eye to his courtesy and good intentions, and even harbored disgust and hostility. It would probably not be easy for him to achieve his wish.
Reason told him to give up, but if he could really give up, why would he wait until now?
The more you can’t get it, the more you want it, and the more unwilling you are to accept it.
He was determined to get the person.
But now his wife has become suspicious of this and will probably watch his every move. If he wants to go to Qingshan County, she will follow him.
It's almost impossible to hide it from her.
Besides, she would know eventually.
If that's the case, I might as well tell her now. If I can coax her into helping me, wouldn't that be even better? I can't approach Madam Xu openly, but she can.
Young Master Qi immediately changed his expression and spoke to Zeng Mingzhu with a gentle smile, which calmed her down. When she asked again, Young Master Qi no longer hid the secret from her.
Zeng Mingzhu was furious and heartbroken. "What? You, you've fallen into depravity! You've really fallen into depravity! Xu Zhichun is just a country woman, who is she? How can you have such bad taste? You actually fell for her! I wouldn't mind if you fell for any prostitute in the brothel, but you fell for her. She's not even as good as our third-class maid. Oh, my husband really has unique tastes."
Young Master Qi was furious: "Where is your dignity and virtue? Listen to what you are saying! Madam Xu is not as bad as you say. Don't forget, your Zeng family can't even buy some sweet potatoes, potatoes, tomatoes, strawberries, etc. What about ice jelly, konjac tofu -"
"Shut up!"
Zeng Mingzhu was even more angry and humiliated than him. Who could stand being hurt like this?
Zeng Mingzhu clutched her chest, seething with rage. "You clearly know how hateful and vicious she is to our Zeng family. She even sent my uncle to jail, humiliated my eldest brother to the utmost, angered my mother to the point of losing sleep, and embarrassed my father. And you actually, you actually fell for her! Qi Ming, don't even think about it! That bitch, she's quite capable. She actually seduced my husband quietly. I won't let her go!"
