After the Lin family bought the ox cart, they often went to the town. Everyone in the village knew about it, so naturally they didn't say anything. Besides, the Lin family was going out with the ox cart for their own use, so who would have the nerve to borrow the Lin family's ox?
"Of course we can borrow it if we can get a queue, but with so many people taking turns, it will take a long time. Won't that delay everyone's work in the fields?"
"Besides, spring plowing is coming soon, and we farmers can't afford to delay our work in the fields."
Father Lin first explained that his family needed an ox cart, and then tried to reason with the other party. If anyone still refused to give up and insisted on waiting for Lin's ox, it would delay their work in the fields, which would not be worth it.
After all, spring plowing is related to the family's food supply for the coming year. If it is delayed like this, it is no one else's fault.
Moreover, the Lin family spent a lot of money to buy this cow, so anyone with a sense of dignity would not be embarrassed to continue to make a fuss about it.
Even the cows in Old Man Niu's family were brought in to earn a living. Anyone who wanted to ride in Old Man Niu's cart when going to town had to pay money. If someone acted like a rogue, he would be despised by the whole village.
Moreover, Mr. Lin’s words were not final. The Lin family did not say they would not lend the money, but there were so many people in the village. Even if they took turns using it, the spring plowing season would probably be over, and by then the loss would still be borne by their own family.
"That's quite true. There are so many of us, and the Lin family only has one cow. How can we take care of everything?"
One man blushed slightly. Although what Lin's father said was quite nice, he also knew that it was beneath his dignity to come to the Lin family today and try to take advantage of others.
He had seen everyone else coming, so he wanted to join in the fun. Now, when he heard this, he felt embarrassed.
With this man taking the lead, many people also lowered their heads.
Lin Yunchu was busy with his work in the kitchen while paying attention to the movements in the yard.
Seeing this scene, I finally felt relieved.
Although there are many people in this village who want to take advantage of others, most of them are relatively simple and honest. They just want to take advantage of the situation because there are so many people around, but they don't have any bad intentions.
When the people in the Lin family yard gradually dispersed, Lin's father and mother finally felt relieved. If something went wrong today, the Lin family's reputation in the village would be ruined in the future.
Until the spring plowing season, whenever the Lin family did not go to town, Lin's father would lend the cow to the village head and several families in the village who were on good terms with the Lin family.
Although those who wanted to take advantage of the Lin family were jealous, with the village head watching, no one in the village dared to gossip.
"Wenshan, it's almost spring plowing time. What do you think about that potato thing we talked about earlier?"
In the blink of an eye, the weather gradually became warmer, and soon it was time for spring plowing again.
That day, the village head hurried to the Lin family, found Lin's father, and asked about planting potatoes.
He had been thinking about this matter for a long time. As the days passed, he didn't hear the Lin family mention it again. Yesterday, the twelve families came to his house again to ask him about it.
He came here quickly today. Everyone had already plowed the land and was waiting to plant potatoes. This was related to the food supply for the next year. He was very anxious and he even bought several acres of sandy land.
He was just waiting to plant some with the Lin family this year. He was anxious because no one believed in him, so he rushed to the Lin family as soon as the day broke.
When Father Lin heard what the head of the village said, he was slightly stunned. Lin Yunchu had just mentioned this to him yesterday, and he was about to go to the head of the village to talk about it.
"I was just thinking of asking you about this. Why don't you gather everyone here tomorrow and I'll teach everyone how to plant potatoes. I'll also give everyone a piece of the potato crop."
Yesterday, Lin Yunchu had already taught all the methods to Lin's father. Tomorrow, Lin's father will explain them to the twelve families.
As soon as he finished speaking, the head of the village immediately showed a happy smile on his face. He nodded repeatedly to Lin's father and kept saying, "Okay, okay, then I will go and tell everyone now, and we will come together tomorrow."
He was naturally very happy about the result of this matter. Without saying anything more, he turned around and left the Lin family yard to talk about the matter with the twelve families who were willing to help grow potatoes.
The next morning, many people came to the Lin family yard.
In addition to the headman's family, there were also twelve families who were willing to grow potatoes with the Lin family, and several people came to watch the fun.
Listening to Father Lin's serious expression as he explained the important things to everyone, a woman's face was filled with disdain. She snorted softly, "You talk so well, and the Lin family is really willing to give it to you for free? You're really foolish."
"That's right. If nothing grows, it will be a waste of land. I won't even have time to cry when I find a place to grow crops."
Seeing the head of the village notifying every household in the village in such a grand manner, many people initially treated it as a joke. Unexpectedly, more than a dozen households were actually willing to grow this thing called potatoes.
If you have this spare time, you might as well plant two acres of sweet potatoes. This thing called potato is something that no one has ever seen, let alone heard of.
After the Lin family said that, these people actually believed it. They came here eagerly today and listened to Lin Wenshan's serious preaching.
It's so funny. If they can't grow it, they will cry.
A few people did not believe what the Lin family said, and did not agree with the village head's persuasion, and did not follow the Lin family to plant potatoes.
However, today, they saw many people coming to the Lin family and saying that they were coming to get potato seeds, so they wanted to watch the fun and followed them over to take a look.
Looking at Lin Wenshan's serious look, it seemed as if it was really the case. Many people were secretly waiting to see the joke. If something really went wrong, the Lin family would be despised by the whole village.
This land is the lifeblood of the farmers. If they can't grow crops, the whole family will starve. Can the Lin family take on this responsibility?
snort!
When the village head looked up, he saw a few people watching the fun. He knew what they were talking about without even looking at the expressions on their faces, and he couldn't help but snort in his heart.
If there weren't so many people here, he really wanted to go up and teach them a lesson.
When the Lin family harvested potatoes, several people saw it with their own eyes. He knew Lin Wenshan's character and would not have spoken so carelessly if the potatoes had not been actually grown.
This is all for the good of the people in their village, and the Lin family will provide ten kilograms of potato seeds for free to anyone who is willing to grow potatoes together.
Where can you find such a good thing? The Lin family gave up their own interests and wanted to fill everyone's stomach together because they were from the same village.
