Xiao Jingchuan nodded in agreement.
A family feud has temporarily subsided. But Xiao Jingchuan knows that this is only a facade of peace.
Granny Yang's favoritism has deeply hurt my father. Now, he must help his father get out of the shadows and stay away from those ungrateful wretches as much as possible.
Shen Yunsheng was very grateful to the villagers for helping her fight against the scoundrels. She planned to help them get rich together. "Grandpa Village Chief, the bamboo shoots in our village can actually be sold! I have already discussed the price with Manager Yuan of Yunke Ferry. Each pound of bamboo shoots can sell for six coins! If the villagers are interested in picking bamboo shoots, I can help them sell them."
After speaking, Shen Yunsheng looked at everyone with expectant eyes, hoping to get their support and response.
The farce finally came to an end, and the brothers Xiao Wenjing and Xiao Jingchuan breathed a sigh of relief.
Xiao Jingchuan was somewhat surprised when his wife mentioned bamboo shoots at this time. Fearing that the villagers wouldn't believe him, he quickly agreed.
“Grandpa Village Chief, my wife didn’t lie to you. Bamboo shoots really can be sold for money. The bamboo shoots we picked yesterday have already been sold to Manager Yuan.”
The village chief and the villagers were all surprised when they heard the news.
"Six copper coins a pound? That's much more profitable than growing crops!"
"Yes, and there are plenty of bamboo shoots on the mountain, and they don't cost anything."
Everyone started discussing it, clearly very interested in the suggestion.
Shen Yunsheng continued, "However, picking bamboo shoots also requires some skill. I can teach everyone how to select and process bamboo shoots."
Xiao Jingchuan also took the opportunity to say, "Our family can provide some tools, such as baskets and sacks."
Deng Chengen nodded happily: "That's a great idea! It will increase everyone's income and make full use of our village's resources. I'll organize everyone to go pick bamboo shoots together, let's start this afternoon!"
"Then I'll leave this matter to Grandpa Village Chief." Shen Yunsheng bowed to Deng Chengen.
After everyone left, Shen Yunsheng and his wife continued cooking. After they had eaten and drunk their fill, they went up the mountain with the villagers.
After entering the mountains, Shen Yunsheng demonstrated and patiently explained the key points of breaking bamboo shoots.
Everyone learned quickly, and in no time they had harvested several baskets full of bamboo shoots.
That afternoon!
Xiao Wenjing and Xiao Jingchuan, a married couple, also helped transport the bamboo shoots to Yunke Ferry.
Manager Yuan was very satisfied to see so many fresh bamboo shoots and paid them copper coins on the spot.
The villagers held the money they had earned, their faces beaming with happiness. Even the bamboo shoots that Qiu and her mother-in-law had picked sold for several hundred coins.
Exhausted after a long day, Shen Yunsheng fell asleep on the table without even taking a shower.
After washing up, Xiao Jingchuan entered the room and his gaze fell upon the sleeping figure.
He saw his wife asleep on the table in front of the bed, and a feeling of tenderness welled up in his heart. He slowly approached her, carefully reached out, and gently picked her up.
He felt the softness and warmth of her body, as if he were holding a precious treasure.
He carefully placed her on the bed, afraid of waking her.
Looking at her peaceful sleeping face, his eyes revealed a tenderness and doting affection.
