Ji Changying kicked the door open while carrying food.
At a glance, she saw Zhou and Ji Fengshou sitting in the yard talking. Seeing her come back, Zhou ran over with a look of surprise on her face: "You're back!"
Having not seen Zhou for a long time, Ji Changying was also surprised: "Did Dad call Mom back?"
Zhou frowned and nodded: "Your father said he has something to talk to me about, so you must come back."
Ji Changying nodded in understanding.
"Where did all this food come from?" Ji Fengshou looked at her in astonishment.
Ji Changying threw the grain on her shoulders aside: "These are all grain seeds."
Ji Fengshou opened his mouth wide: "Where did it come from?"
Ji Changying just said what she had made up before.
"You mean, these grain seeds were transported here by that grain merchant friend?" Ji Fengshou's brows were tightly furrowed.
How come he didn't know when his daughter got to know such a person?
"I'll go help!"
Zhou ran out excitedly to unload the food. Ji Changying lowered his voice and asked his father, "You haven't told my mother yet?"
Ji Fengshou had a helpless look on his face: "I said it."
Ji Changying glanced at Zhou in surprise: "But it seems that mother is fine."
Ji Fengshou nodded: "Your mother is so careless that she doesn't care who her biological parents are. Instead, she keeps asking those men in black who came to our house, wanting to know who sent them."
Ji Changying nodded. It was just like her mother's temperament: "It's okay if my mother doesn't care."
Ji Fengshou's expression was a little strange: "Your mother said that she would go with me to find your grandma later, and then we can ask her directly."
this···
"Will grandma and grandpa be sad?" Ji Changying was a little hesitant.
Ji Fengshou didn't think of contacting his father-in-law and mother-in-law directly at first because he took their feelings into consideration, but he didn't expect Zhou to be so direct.
"Your mother said that these are her parents, and there is nothing she can't say." He was a little helpless.
Ji Changying pondered for a moment, and realized that her mother's words sometimes made sense: "Then let's go together later."
Ji Fengshou didn't expect his daughter to agree to go and ask directly: "Don't you want to persuade her?"
"My mother is right. We are relatives, so what's the harm in saying it? You said that to me yesterday, have you forgotten?"
It’s not that Ji Fengshou forgot, but he always felt a little strange and awkward. After all, this was not something else.
However, since his daughter and wife had no objections, he gritted his teeth and agreed: "Then you have to keep an eye on your uncle and the others. If they get impulsive and start a fight as soon as I open my mouth, you have to stop them."
Ji Changying's mouth twitched: "After all these years, when did my uncle and his men really take action? At most, they would just glare at you. How come you are so timid..."
"Humph! Just forget it!"
Ji Fengshou put his hands behind his back and went to the door to chase people away, too lazy to pay any more attention to her.
Before he got married, he was badly beaten by his brothers-in-law and father-in-law. No one knew how much psychological trauma this caused him.
He just couldn't say this, because it would be beneath his dignity as a father...
As soon as Ji Fengshou went out, he was quickly surrounded by people.
"What a good harvest! I see you have a lot of crops. If you can't finish them, don't forget the others! Don't forget we helped you when you first came!"
"That's right, your family didn't have enough tiles to renovate their house. Did you forget where I told you to buy cheap, high-quality tiles?"
"And me! I was the one who found the craftsman for you!"
They were not as wary of Ji Fengshou as they were of Ji Changying.
As if afraid that he couldn't hear her, she spoke at the top of her voice, almost shouting into Ji Fengshou's ear.
Ji Fengshou was so shocked that he couldn't help rubbing his ears. He picked up Faner, coughed dryly, and waved his hand to signal everyone to be quiet.
In the end, no one listened to him at all. They all craned their necks to ask for favors from him, and some even reached out to grab him, trying to pull him over to have a good chat.
When Zhou saw her husband's clothes being torn off, she became furious.
He threw a bag of food at them and said, "Get out of the way!"
Those who saw it with sharp eyes quickly took a few steps back, while those who were slow to react were directly knocked to the ground by the grain bags.
The space in front of Ji Fengshou was cleared in an instant.
The man who was knocked to the ground by the grain bag hadn't struggled to get up yet. Zhou strode forward and stepped on the grain bag. "Who was that man who just tugged at my husband? Come on, come on."
Anyone she pointed at retreated away, not daring to look her in the eye.
Ji Fengshou was extremely satisfied with the result. He immediately coughed and prepared to speak. Zhou turned her head and looked at him worriedly: "Your throat is uncomfortable? Is it them who did it?"
Ji Fengshou was really afraid that she would say something that would embarrass him, so he quickly covered her mouth and whispered in a low voice, "Don't say anything from now on. I'll do the talking."
He turned and looked at the villagers with a serious face:
"I know the villagers are very anxious, but my daughter asked someone to get these seeds, so my family will definitely have enough! My daughter also said that considering the situation in the village, she asked her friends for more, so everyone will definitely have some by then, and the price is-"
Ji Fengshou deliberately lowered his voice and said mysteriously, "It's more than half the price outside. If you can't control your mouths and the news leaks out, everyone will come to ask for it, and it will be hard to say whether you have it or not."
"Alright, everyone, go away. There's no point in gathering here."
The villagers were even more excited when they heard the news, especially the people from the Ji family.
They had a happy smile on their faces.
If everyone in the village has it, then they are definitely a done deal.
"Really? Half the price? All of them?!"
Someone asked again in disbelief.
Ji Shilin and his two brothers squeezed in and pushed people out with both hands: "If you're deaf, ask someone else. Don't waste time here!"
"Go, go, go, don't get in the way. If you piss off Ah Ying later, you'll all be in trouble!"
Ji's men came out from behind and pushed everyone away.
After driving the carriage into the yard, Ji Fengshou looked at the piles of grain seeds and checked them one by one.
There are rice, soybeans, some wheat and...
"Huh? What is this?" Ji Fengshou grabbed a handful of cumin, put it under his nose and smelled it, then looked at Ji Changying in confusion.
“This is cumin.”
Ji Changying turned her head and took a look at the explanation.
"What? This is cumin?! So much?!!"
Ji Fengshou was a scholar after all, and although he had never eaten cumin, he had heard of it.
It's just that this stuff is more expensive than pepper, and now there's half a bag of it in front of him! !
This is not an object at all, it is clearly a pile of gold placed here!
"When you grow crops, leave some dry land for this. When the harvest comes, it's all money."
