Sister Taohua cooked porridge for Sister Yao in advance in the old house, and ate it herself, but did not go to have lunch, so now there are only the young couple sitting at the table.
Chen Su was stopped by his question and stopped picking up rice.
Out of sight of Shen Yan, Chen Su blinked in panic, "No, it's nothing."
"You said it's nothing.
Look, you've been hiding from me.
Tell me if something happened and I'll give you some advice."
Shen Yan said in a gentle voice, fearing that he might be scared if his voice was too anxious.
Chen Su.
In Shen Yan's opinion, Chen Su must be in some kind of trouble.
He was afraid that she would be unhappy by herself and not talk about it, which would make him unhappy.
But how could he know Chen Su's troubled thoughts?
If it was about other things, Chen Su could still talk to Shen Yan.
How could he talk about this matter?
Chen Su struggled for a while, then suddenly raised his head as if he had made a huge decision.
She looked directly at Shen Yan.
Shen Yan was stunned by her look and did not come back to his senses.
Chen Su opened her mouth as if she had something important to say, but after a long time of opening her mouth, she lost her temper again and spoke softly, "Actually, it's nothing.
I just asked someone to help us cut down the tree today.
I’ll give you two taels of silver for the root tree, that’s all.”
"That's it."
Shen Yan's tone showed his disbelief.
The two had been together for more than half a year.
Although he didn't know what Chen Su was thinking clearly, he could at least understand whether Chen Su was lying.
But Chen Su just nodded quickly, "Well, for this matter, it costs two taels of silver for a piece of wood.
I was wondering, tell me, am I overpaying or is one tael enough?"
Shen Yan's eyes narrowed slightly, which meant that Shen Yan really didn't believe Chen Su's words, "Is it wood with white fungus?"
"Well, is it still wood for the fire?
I can't afford it."
Shen Yan knew that her answer was wrong and he did not force her to tell the truth.
Anyway, if Chen Su was willing to speak, she would.
If she was unwilling to speak, it would be useless for anyone to force her.
"Two taels of silver are not expensive.
If a piece of wood is treated well, it can produce dozens or even hundreds of white fungus.
Even twenty taels of silver is not expensive."
Shen Yan said.
"Twenty taels, I can't afford that much money, and I don't want too much wood.
Dozens or hundreds of logs are enough.
This matter has to be done secretly, otherwise if people find out, they will definitely do it.
In this business, if there are too many white fungi, they won’t be expensive.
Things are rare and expensive, so we can probably make a lot of money just by ourselves.
If there are too many people, it’s easy to mess up things.”
Of course Chen Su knew that if a wooden hair was successful, the white fungus could earn at least tens of thousands of taels of silver.
However, earning this amount of money was also risky.
When encountering climate problems, she encountered some problems that she could not predict.
You won’t be able to earn much by then.

Although twenty taels of silver is still profitable, giving too much will make these people doubt what she wants the wood for, and such a sensation will definitely be big.
Although twenty taels of silver is still a lot, in comparison, she You can buy it with more peace of mind, and smelly grass is also hard to find.
If you give it a higher price, the villagers will be more motivated.
Moreover, she did not plan to store the white fungus in Shenjiawan.
She had to transport it out and find a place where they did not know where to distribute the white fungus.
Chen Su had a very good idea.
In this way, he could make money and make the villagers' lives easier.
When the white fungus is cured, he would buy more trees of this kind, and both parties would benefit.
It's not that Chen Su is stingy, it's just that she has to make money, support her family, and be a rich woman, so she has to be selfish.
Of course, those little sweeteners will still be given to the villagers who help her.
Shen Yan never doubted Chen Su's intentions.
She had her reasons for doing so.
The two of them quickly changed Chen Su's previous topic on the topic of white fungus.
Speaking of putting the Tremella fungus somewhere else, Chen Su actually didn't think about it.
He planned to let the Tremella fungus grow on the wood by the river to make more money, and then decide whether to stay or leave.
Moreover, the Tremella fungus issue is not a long-term solution.
Slowly in the future, someone will discover their secret.
By then, Tremella fungus will not be the only one.
In the evening, the news of Chen Su collecting smelly flowers, plants and large wood spread like wildfire in Shenjiawan.
Those women who were still shouting that Chen Su was cheating during the day were very jealous when they saw the happy discussion of the women who had received twenty copper coins.
They wanted to tell Chen Su right away that they also wanted to chop wood.
But after saying that to Chen Su during the day, why would she still be willing to let them do it?
Obviously she doesn't want to.
Although everyone thought it was impossible, some people were still unwilling to give in and came forward to ask Aunt Ayue who had benefited.
"Aunt Ayue, did Ayan's wife say that as long as she cuts a tree for her, she will be given twenty taels of silver per tree?"
The person who asked the question was a young daughter-in-law named Su'e.
Her mother-in-law, Mrs.
Sun, and Mrs.
Gu were very caring, but not as brutal and aggressive as Mrs.
Gu, but she was also a petty person.
My mother-in-law wanted to make money, but it was difficult for her to come forward in person, so she had to ask her.
Aunt Ayue knew that this was an opportunity to make money.
As long as she handed in five smelly flowers and grass every day, she would have ten taels of silver.
After a few days of doing this, she had made enough money for her son to marry his wife, and there was still some leftover.
When the family is rich, their daughter can marry well.
So Aunt Ayue was afraid that others would come to take a share of the pie, so she thought about it and said deliberately: "Didn't your Po Liu say that Ayan's wife is lying to others?
Since she has lied to others, why are you asking to do it?"
What's more, Ayan's wife also said that we will let the seven people who collected the copper coins go chop it down.
No matter how much you do, she won't take it away, so go back quickly."
Aunt Ayue has her own selfish motives.
How can she share this good thing with others?
After all, she doesn’t know how many pieces of wood Chen Su needs.
If the quantity is fixed, if someone cuts more than one piece, then one will be missing.
If multiple people cut it, , there are fewer trees on this mountain, right?
When Su'e heard what Aunt Ayue said, her face fell.

She also wanted to make more money, but unfortunately, she had no chance. , no chance.
"Oh well."
With that said, Su'e could only go home and tell her mother-in-law about this, so as not to worry her.
Watching Su'e leave, Aunt Ayue hurriedly went home and asked people to go to the mountains to cut trees.
Even if there was a limit of five trees a day, she would cut them first and put them away.
Then she would go to Chen Su's house at one o'clock every day and cut them early.
There are many trees, otherwise we would have to go deep into the mountains and forests to cut them down.
As soon as Su'e stepped into the house, her mother-in-law's voice sounded inside.
I saw my mother-in-law Liu running out anxiously, "A'e, what's going on?
What did Ayan's wife say that we can cut down the tree?"
Mrs.
Liu also regretted the stupid thing she did during the day.
She thought it was just a waste of time and went to see it, but she just relied on her own greatness and thought that nothing good would happen to Chen Su, so she stopped going.
Unexpectedly, she found out when she came back.
That's not the case.
Those who came back with her also hurriedly came to the house to complain that she was gone, and took them away with her.
The two sides even had a quarrel, which was very unpleasant.
Hearing what her mother-in-law said, Su'e shook her head in frustration, "I went to ask Aunt Ayue, and she said that there were only seven people left at that time, so Ayan's wife asked seven of them to cut down the trees, and the others who didn't go were taken away. ” When Grandma Su'e heard this, her face fell down and she said, "It's broken, it's broken, it's only two taels of silver for a piece of wood, it's just gone."
Su'e also knew that it was two taels of silver.
Everyone who saw it wanted it, but she missed it.
"What should we do?"
Su'e asked.
She also wanted to cut down the tree.
She doesn't have much farmland at home.
She has planted the seedlings now and just waits for the seedlings to grow big before planting them.
As for the other crops, they are almost finished and only two more days will be enough.
So with that little time, she also wants to make some money for her children. , but it is obviously impossible now.
As much as Granny Su'e blamed herself, there were several women who left with her at that time, including Shen Yan's third aunt and Shen Dazheng's daughter-in-law Sun, who was not present at the time.
Not long after Mrs.
Sun returned home, she heard the news that Chen Su Erliang had bought smelly flowers and tree trunks, and she almost vomited blood.
She is so envious and jealous.
What happened to Shen Yan's nephew?
Why is his family so rich all of a sudden?
What is the concept of giving two taels of silver to a piece of wood?
It's scary to think about it.
Her husband was choosing the grains to plant in the house.
Seeing him squatting on the ground, Mrs.
Sun became very angry.
"Okay, okay, there's nothing now," Mrs.
Sun shouted.
The sons Shen Wen and Chen Wu looked at the mother curiously.
Shen Wu couldn't help but asked curiously: "Mom, what's wrong with you, what happened?"
As the eldest son, Shen Wen was even more worried about what his mother was angry about, and asked, "Yes, what's wrong with you?
Who made you angry?"
Compared with the Gu family, the Sun family is less hot-tempered, so the family is more harmonious than the uncle's family.

At first, Mrs.
Sun herself would go to the second son's house to get something.
It was because she saw her sister-in-law going to the second son's house to fumble around all day long, and she didn't want to get anything.
She also said something nice to her, so she made the move.
What a ghost, I want to take a look.
But thinking about it later, I still felt that something was wrong.
After all, it was not easy for the young couple.
The husband, on the other hand, later stole food, which caused the second son's family to go to Li Zheng's house and break up the relationship.
Now they have nothing to do with each other.
Now Shen Yan's family is having a better life.
If the marriage had not been broken off, they would have been able to take advantage of it.
But after the marriage was broken off, there was nothing left.
Even the tree cut down was afraid that A Yan's wife was not willing to give it to him.
Who knew what was going on?
Shen Dazheng was carefully selecting grain seeds, but he was scolded by his wife in front of him.
"What are you doing and why are you so crazy?"
When Mrs.
Sun heard this, she became even more angry, "Shen Dazheng, look at the good things you have done."
Shen Dazheng felt that he hadn't done anything recently.
He just wandered around the village when he was bored.
He had been busy growing food for the past two days.
He didn't even go out of the house.
What good could he do?
When Mrs.
Sun heard what he said, she remembered that her husband probably didn't know what was going on outside.
She sneered and said, "Tell me, if you hadn't gone to the second son's house to steal food, we would still be related to the second son's family now."
"What are you talking about?
What's the use of talking about it after breaking up the relationship?"
Shen Dazheng said displeased.
Because of the food issue, when he walked from the beginning of the village to the end of the village, people pointed at his back and laughed at him.
As a result, he didn't dare to get in front of anyone for a long time.
He only dared to go to places where no one was around.
For so many days, he also watched the nephew and nephew's wife in the second family's family.
The young couple became more and more capable, and their life was getting better and better.
They said they built a house, bought a shop and so on.
He was envious of it.
Not coming.
He also regrets it.
Is there any use in regret?
It’s useless.
Since it's useless, he doesn't bother to think about it.
He has seen through it.
It's not his, and it will never be his.
He should just farm well and wait for his daughter to marry a good family, and his two sons can also marry a good wife.
Peace of mind.

Yes, he was ready to enjoy the blessing.
He thought so, but when he dreamed about it at midnight, he still felt extremely regretful.
It is precisely because of Shen Dazheng's regret that when his wife said these words, she undoubtedly touched the nerves that he least wanted to mention.
He looked at his wife, and then asked: "Why are you bringing this up now?
Who has offended you?
I told you, don't think about it anymore.
It's useless to think about it anyway."
Of course Sun knew it was useless, but it was useless, which made him regret it even more.
"Do you know what I heard outside today?"
she asked.
Shen Wen was the first to ask her, "Mom, what did you hear?"
"I heard A Yue say that A Yan's wife asked them to go chop down trees on the mountain.
Those smelly flowers and plants trees with a bit of thorns.
They were given two taels of silver for cutting one tree.
That's a lot."
After hearing this, everyone else in the room gasped.
Shen Wu hurriedly asked: "Mom, is this true?"
But before Sun could answer, Shen Dazheng suddenly Shen Dazheng, the father, interrupted first, "How can it be true?
Do you think that tree is inlaid with gold?
Just listen to their nonsense.
The second brother's family already has two dollars, so he's not stupid yet."
At that point, I’ll give you money by cutting down trees.”
"Why are you bragging?
Ah Yue and Yao Mei both got twenty copper coins, and the other five people all got coins from A Yan's wife.
They said it was a deposit given to them first, and when the tree was cut down, one coin was given to them.
Erliang, tell me if it’s true?”
Shen Dazheng was stunned by his wife's words.
He looked at her blankly and asked, "What you said can't be true, right?"
"What else can I do to deceive you?"
Mrs.
Sun looked at him and said displeasedly, thinking that she had to rely on her husband for this matter.
Shen Dazheng was choked and couldn't say a word.
He thought, if this thing is true, then he can get a lot of money.
If he goes up the mountain and cuts down trees, he will put a few taels of silver into his pocket, and his family will have a lot more money.
When Mrs.
Sun thought of this, she couldn't help but feel her heart ache.
"Sister-in-law Liu Jiu asked Su'e of her family to ask Ah Yue if she could also cut down trees and send them to A Yan's family.
She said so and gave them to seven people with twenty copper coins to chop down.
No, just because Sister-in-law Jiu said she didn’t believe what A-Yan’s wife said before, so she didn’t let her make money, Sister-in-law Jiu is now beating her heart.”
Mrs.
Sun thought, not to mention Sister-in-law Ninth beating her heart and soul, she also beat her heart and soul.
Two taels of silver and a piece of wood are worth countless amounts of money.
After saying that, Mrs.
Sun directly slapped her husband on the back, "It's all you.
If you hadn't gone to get Lao Shizi's food and people were caught, would our family have broken off the relationship with the second family?
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
If we hadn't broken off the relationship, this At that time, even if the children of the second child’s family don’t give us any money, why don’t we leave the matter of cutting down the trees to us?”
Of course Shen Dazheng knew this truth in his heart, but if he knew this was the case, would he have done those stupid things?
"It's over now that you have any use for these things."
Sun felt terrible that this was going to happen, "Ah Wen and Ah Wu, tell me, if we can also chop, wouldn't we be rich?
Ah Wen, you and Qiu Shuang's marriage is over, and there is still ten taels of silver left, right?"
Shen Wen heard what his mother said, and when he thought about it, it was two taels for one piece.
If he had five pieces, he would have the betrothal money to marry Qiu Shuang.
Shen Wu was also a little moved, thinking that his relationship with brother Ayan was not bad in the past.
When his second uncle and his mother-in-law were around, he also took delicious food to brother Ayan.
Thinking like this, Shen Wu asked: "How about, parents, I'll go and talk to Ayandi.
I gave him a lot of delicious food when he was a child.
He should let us cut down the tree."
When Shen Dazheng heard this, his eyes became excited, but he still said: "We have broken off the relationship, are they still willing to give it?
Don't make a fuss about it then."
"How will you know if you don't try?"
Shen Wu said.
Shen Wen also wanted to be able to chop down trees, but thinking of his fiancée who had not yet been able to collect the betrothal gift, he pondered for a while and said, "Then let A Wu try it.
Maybe A Yandi is still thinking about us."
Mrs.
Sun wanted to ease the relationship with the second son's family.
If she could really succeed this time, she would not be as messy as before.
At least, she would treat Shen Yan's nephew better.
She just hoped that she could help him when his family was rich.
Just these two cousins are fine.
After all, they are all a family and cannot be exposed to outsiders like this.
"Then you go and have a look, talk to Ayan and see if he agrees.
If he really doesn't agree, forget it."
Sun didn't say any more, but her last sigh also told Shen Wen and Shen Wu that they could no longer force themselves and just accept their fate.
"Okay, I'll go to Ayan's house right away."
"Hey, wait a minute."
Mrs.
Sun quickly stopped Shen Wu, "Wait a minute, it's getting dark today, and your brother Ayan's family is probably preparing to cook.
If you bring a chicken over, it will be supplemented by our family. body."
"good."
Mrs.
Sun put the fattest hen in the family in a chicken coop and asked Shen Wu to take it there.
In fact, Shen Wu had a good relationship with Shen Yan when he was a child.
He took good care of his brother, who was a few months younger than him.
At that time, his second uncle often bought him food.
He also liked to spend time with this little brother who didn't talk much.
But I don’t know when the relationship between the two families started to change.
He rarely went to see Ayandi.
He said that his illness would not last long and he would die.
He also said that their family was in a bad situation and they had no money. , the closer you get, the more you borrow money.
He didn't understand this before, but the relationship between the two brothers also became distant.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
In the end, even though they were from the same village, they rarely met each other.
Now he really wants to go to Shen Yan's house to see him.
In fact, Shen Wu is still a little scared.
He feels that he has a purpose in going.
But seeing his parents regretful and the eldest brother not being able to marry Qiu Shuang because there is no betrothal gift, he feels that he should go.
It doesn’t matter if you lose face once.
Qiu Shuang is now sixteen this year, and his family needs twenty taels of dowry money to get married.
They can’t afford it, so they just watch other families come up with twenty taels or even more to Qiu Shuang’s house.
If not for Qiu Shuang’s support.
The eldest brother is very interested and is unwilling to agree to a marriage from another family.
He would have married and enjoyed happiness long ago.
My sister Xiuer got sick a few years ago, and his leg was also injured.
The two of them spent more than ten taels of silver together.
Now they can't get that much money together, and the eldest brother feels bad.
He looks worried.
After all, the eldest brother You are not young anymore, you are nineteen years old.
If you don’t get married, you will be really old.
Your parents are also old, and it’s time to have grandchildren.
Shen Wu was full of worries.
If he hadn't happened to kick a stone and suddenly wake up, otherwise he would have walked directly to the door of Shen Yan's old house.
He looked at the outer door and hesitated for a long time, wondering how to get in.
The hen in the chicken coop in his hand was clucking and cackling no matter how hard he shook it, as if he knew he was about to be stewed.
While Shen Wu was still shaking the hens in the chicken coop to stop them from crowing, the outer door of Shen Yan's house was opened from the inside, and a pretty little girl stood there.
Shen Wu stared blankly at the person who opened the door, opened his mouth, and looked at her with panic on his face, "I" The person who opened the door was Chen Su.
She It was Chen Su.
She heard a chicken crow and thought her chicken had escaped from the chicken coop, so she came out to take a look.
But when I opened the door, I saw a young man holding a small chicken coop with a hen in it.
Chen Su didn't know Shen Wu, and there were too many people in Shenjiawan whom she didn't know.
She asked in confusion: "Who are you?"
Shen Wu was choked by the question.
He thought for a long time before saying, "I am Shen Wu.
Is Brother Ayan at home?"
"Shen Wu" Chen Su thought about the person named Shen Wu in his mind.
He seemed to have heard of this name, but he couldn't remember who it was.
However, seeing the way the other party came to visit with the hen, Chen Su couldn't refuse, so he asked him: "Then please come in."
Shen Wu nodded, not daring to look at Chen Su.
He murmured in his heart, this must be A Yandi's wife.
He had seen her before when she came to the second uncle's house, but she didn't look good.
She always hid behind the second uncle's mother, as if she was frightened.
Like a little white rabbit.
But now, she is not afraid at all.
She looks at the door with a relaxed look, and her face has changed a lot.
It is not so dark anymore.
She looked a bit ugly and thin before, but now she is not that, and she is still pretty.
Shen Wu felt a little incredible.

If this little girl hadn't come from Ayan's house, Shen Wu would not have dared to regard the person in front of him as the same person as the Ayan child bride he had seen before.
He looked a little embarrassed.
After entering the outer door, he thought for a moment and handed over the hen in the chicken coop, "My mother asked me to catch this for Ayandi to recuperate.
I heard that he is in much better health now." , right?”
Chen Su didn't know that Shen Wu was the son of the so-called third uncle.
He thought that the person in front of him might be Shen Yan's childhood playmate.
After thinking about it, he took the hen from the other person's hand and said, "Thank you then.
It's just Will this cost you money?"
Shen Wu shook his head hurriedly, "No, no, but it's just a hen, how can you spend money?"
Shen Yan, Sister Taohua and Sister Yao, were waiting in the house for Chen Su who had gone out to come back for dinner.
When they heard a man's voice, Shen Yan quickly got up and went out to take a look.
When he saw Shen Wu coming, Shen Yan was stunned for a moment and exclaimed: "Brother Awu, why are you here?"
