Springtime Farming: A Happy Wife At Home

Chapter 150 - 150 Helpers

150 Helpers

The first section of the Shao Family had plenty of money.

Qiao Xuan suddenly thought about buying two bulls for home and raising them.

But Ms. Fang turned around and said, “Not buying, they can be rented for other people. What about just renting?”

Ms. Fang had so much money in her hands, so she was speaking with confidence. She did not care if the money was spent on renting bulls for plowing.

!!

Qiao Xuan complimented her mother-in-law for being so considerate.

When the rake was to be made, Ms. Fang offered the money and rented the bull, so her husband and sons did not have to work so hard.

They had only 7.5 mu of fields at home.

The production per mu at this time was very low. The grain harvested per mu of land was just over 200 kgs. If it was a bad year, it might be even less than 200 kgs.

The 200 kgs was counted with shells on the rice, and only 30 kgs of rice could be produced out of 50 kgs crops.

The whole family used to have a very tight life. With the inclusion of taros, various beans, pumpkins, winter melons, and dug up yams in the meals, they could get through the year.

When the matter of rakes was solved, everyone was very happy.

Ms. Xu in particular, because her husband, who was the eldest son, was always the most tired of all.

This year, everything became easier!

However, Second Uncle and Third Uncle came to ask the first section of the family to help them make rakes.

They had no bulls either, but they had plenty of money to rent the bulls, yet they did not want to spend their own savings.

Ms. Fang had argued about this earlier, but it did not work.

The first section had offered them enough help through the years.

But this year, Ms. Fang was really confident and acted much more fiercely.

She was not going to ask Shao Dalang to offer help.

Second Uncle said in a pretentious tone, “Elder Sister-in-law, we should help each other, don’t we always do it together? How about you finish your work this year, and then come to help us?”

“Right?”

Second Uncle and Third Uncle were trying their best to try to convince Ms. Fang.

Ms. Fang looked at them and though to herself that these two men were strong outside but stupid inside. She should have seen through that before.

Ms. Fang sneered. “Together? No, thanks, Dalang and Sanlang are terribly tired people every year. This year, we have rented a bull, so you two families can work together and solve it yourselves!”

“What!”

“Where did you get the money from?”

Second Uncle and Third Uncle exchanged a look between themselves – it must be Ms. Qiao!

Ms. Qiao must have offered the money!

So, they had a rich daughter-in-law, and now they were looking down at people!

They were so jealous.

Third Uncle said sourly, “Oh, my brother and sister-in-law are living a better life with a rich daughter-in-law married to the family!”

Ms. Fang was startled, but didn’t reply when they had this misunderstanding. Instead, she nodded along.

The two men got increasingly annoyed.

They went to Elder Uncle to seek family love.

Eldest Uncle did not dare to ask his daughter-in-law to pay for the other sections of the family, but he did not think that the spring plowing should be delayed as well.
