Li Cuilan: "..."
Lin: "..."
The two of them dried their silence at the same time.
How could anyone in this world like silverware but not goldware!
Wan Shu was clearly mocking them!
They just wanted to show off a bit and embarrass Li Daniu and Wan Shu. They didn't do anything too outrageous. Did Wan Shu really have to go and rub salt in their wounds like that?
The two women were trembling with anger. They wanted to retaliate, but before they could even open their mouths, Meng Zhenshou could no longer tolerate this humiliating situation and glared at them fiercely.
"Shut up, haven't you embarrassed yourselves enough?"
After saying that, he turned and left. Before leaving, he glared even more fiercely at the instigator who had embarrassed him—Wan Shu.
Wan Shu felt completely baffled and couldn't help but roll her eyes.
I've never seen such a bizarre person. He was the one who started the trouble first, and he prepared the meager betrothal gifts himself. Now that he's lost face, he's blaming everyone else.
His name is truly fitting; he is a beast, a livestock.
Dazhu and Erya also noticed Meng Zhenshou's fierce gaze.
Er Ya was timid and somewhat fearful: "Mother, Meng Zhenshou is so vicious that he even wants to kill his own brother who grew up with him. Wouldn't it be bad for us to offend him like this?"
Dazhu felt guilty: "If I had known he would hold a grudge like this, it wouldn't have mattered if Daniu and I had been criticized by them..."
"You idiot!" Wan Shu flicked Da Zhu on the forehead: "What do you mean 'nothing'? Kind people are bullied. Meng Zhenshou only dared to deal with Meng Wenyuan after Meng Shanzhang left, which proves that he is a coward who bullies the weak and fears the strong."
"The more you back down with this kind of person, the more they will take advantage of you. On the contrary, if you confront them directly, they will be more cautious."
"Besides, you and Da Niu haven't done anything wrong, so why should they bully you?"
Wan Shuke is very protective of her own and will never allow her little one to be bullied by other families!
After Meng Zhenshou left, Li Cuilan and Lin Shi also slunk away.
The villagers had never seen such exquisite jewelry before, so they all stayed outside the Li family's courtyard to watch the spectacle.
They watched for almost half an hour before they all left.
"Oh dear, all these people have finally left. My dear in-laws, Dazhu, Erya, come in and have some tea."
Sun wiped the sweat from her forehead and led Wan Shu and the others inside.
However, instead of immediately pouring tea, she carefully put away the gold jewelry and returned it all to Wan Shu.
"My dear in-law, these things are very valuable. Please keep them safe and don't use them to mess around again next time."
Wan Shu chuckled and pushed the jewelry box back: "In-law, I'm not messing around, and I'm not making things up to save face. This is indeed the betrothal gift I prepared for Da Niu."
Upon hearing this, not only was Mrs. Sun dumbfounded, but Da Niu was also stunned.
Madam Sun: "What! This really is a betrothal gift! Such a generous betrothal gift... No! We can't accept it!"
Da Niu kept shaking her head: "Yes, we can't accept it! This betrothal gift is too generous. We already owe your family money, Auntie, how can we accept such an expensive betrothal gift..."
Given Da Niu and Sun Shi's personalities, Wan Shu had long anticipated this scene, and she had already come up with a solution.
“These betrothal gifts are not only a token of my appreciation for your family, but also a token of my appreciation for Dazhu. You don’t need to feel guilty.”
"However, if you really don't want to accept them, I won't force you. Apart from the hairpin, I can keep the other items for you. You can come and get them whenever you want."
"If we don't use it now, we can pass it on to our children later. For girls, it can be their dowry, and for boys, it can be their betrothal gift. What do you think?"
This approach not only shows their care for their eldest daughter but also reduces their family's psychological pressure, which they naturally think is the best solution, except...
The young woman asked, slightly puzzled, "Why not the hairpin? Is there anything special about the hairpin?"
Wan Shu gave a teasing smile: "Yes, Da Zhu bought this hairpin with his own money. Isn't it special? You have to accept it, right?"
Da Niu blushed with embarrassment at the teasing, but she didn't refuse anymore. She lowered her head and accepted the hairpin that was full of Da Zhu's love.
Seeing that she was shy, Wan Shu didn't say anything more and asked about things related to crayfish.
"With enough feed, will crayfish still eat the roots of rice plants?"
Both Da Niu and Sun Shi were very happy when this was mentioned.
"there is none left!"
"Sister Shu, ever since we started raising them according to your method, the crayfish have stopped eating the rice roots. Now, not only are the crayfish growing well, but the rice has also stopped suffering damage."
Wan Shu was also very happy to hear this.
Since feeding can prevent crayfish from eating the food, it proves that crayfish can indeed be farmed on a large scale in Qingshui Village!
Yes, Wan Shu is preparing to lead the people of Qingshui Village to start raising crayfish throughout the village.
Because she was reading the novel at the time, she didn't finish it; she only read the first ten chapters and some outlines.
Therefore, although she knew that many natural disasters and wars would occur in the future, she could not be sure when they would happen.
In order to improve the survival rate of the villagers in Qingshui Village, and also to improve their own survival rate, the only way Wan Shu could think of was to do her best to make Qingshui Village, and even the entire Sishui County and Jingzhou Prefecture, prosperous.
Raising crayfish can not only eliminate the problem of crayfish eating rice roots and increase rice yield, but also provide villagers with an additional source of income.
Even if we take a step back and assume that something unexpected happens in the future and the crayfish can't be sold, it can still provide people with some protein, making it an ideal promotional strategy.
The next day, whenever he had a spare moment, Wan Shu went to tell Wang Lizheng about it.
Wang Lizheng went to check on the improved rice paddies at Da Niu's house. After confirming that the crayfish were getting fatter and the rice was growing more lush, he excitedly approved the plan.
"Great, great, great! This is wonderful news! I'll make arrangements to tell the villagers about it tomorrow!"
"Oh, right, I also need to report this to the county magistrate! This is a great thing for the people and the country. Once the county magistrate finds out, he will definitely report it to His Majesty, and when His Majesty finds out, he will surely reward you even more!"
Speaking of this, Wang Lizheng suddenly remembered something.
"I heard a long time ago that His Majesty wanted to reward you, but why hasn't the reward arrived yet? Could it be that His Majesty has changed his mind?"
In the capital city.
The new emperor of the Great Sheng Dynasty, Emperor Hongxing, who ascended the throne three years ago, is currently troubled by the matter of rewarding Wan Shu.
