Chapter Seventy-Eight

Village Chief Niu sighed, "Our village didn't receive much food last year because of too much rain, but this year ...... The earlier hailstorm caused us to lose our crops, and from time to time you brought in people from other towns who were infected with the plague, and we ...... They're all eating the bark. ”

Chen Shaoyou was silent, such a situation is not only in Niujia Village.

"So," said the village chief, "if you want this Houttuynia cordata, you have to give us food, otherwise, we won't give it to you." ”

The people behind the village chief nodded in agreement.

Ji Xiang shouted angrily, "Now is the time when Houttuynia cordata is needed, and you are actually blackmailing my family at this life-saving juncture!" This houttuynia is your life! ”

"There's no food, just Houttuynia cordata has a fart!"

A vulgar man sneered, "Houttuynia cordata is life, food is even more life, in a word, bring the grain, Houttuynia cordata will take half of it to you, and when we all take the medicine, the remaining half will be taken out and given to you." ”

Ji Xiang sneered: "You are vegetarians when the soldiers outside are vegetarians? Either let's take Houttuynia away and wait for us to deliver medicine to you, or let the government soldiers come and use knives for you! ”

"If we dare to put forward conditions, we dare to leave the way back, you have government soldiers, we have tung oil!"

Next to the man who spoke before was a weak scholar, he said: "There are countless firewood in this warehouse, as long as the soldiers dare to come in and rob it, we dare to set fire to them desperately, but it is just a funeral." ”

"You ......"

According to the auspiciousness, Chen Shaoyou said lightly: "Today I took away half of Houttuynia cordata." There is no food now, and in two days, I will bring you enough food to feed the people of the village for three days. ”

"That's not going to work......"

Chen Shaoyou's faint eyes swept away, and the person who spoke was silent.

"This is my guarantee, but also the bottom line, if you are not satisfied, just set fire, a few hundred catties of houttuynia cordata, two days later, there will be Ningcheng government to send it, two days, I can afford to wait."

There was a burst of muttering and argument in the crowd.

For two days, Chen Shaoyou could afford to wait, but he hated him for blackmailing him today, if he didn't care about Niujia Village at that time, they would have Houttuynia cordata and no other medicinal materials, even if they had food, they could only wait for the plague to die!

It is better to believe him, give him half of Houttuynia cordata, and he will return the grain in two days.

The weak scholar discussed with the previous man, and then talked to the village chief in detail, and in the end, gritted his teeth and gave Chen Shaoyou 300 catties of Houttuynia cordata.

When he was about to leave Niujia Village, a boy about five years old hurriedly ran to Chen Shaoyou, holding a small potato in his hand, and his dirty little hand grabbed the hem of Chen Shaoyou's clothes, "Big brother, my father said that the people in the village have no malicious intentions, we just want to live." ”

Looking behind the boy, an emaciated figure stood at the vent and bowed his head slightly.

Chen Shaoyou nodded, his eyes turned to the boy who was pulling the hem of his clothes, squatted down, and took out the half-eaten steamed bun from his arms and gave it to him, "Brother knows, I won't blame them." ”

The little boy raised a big smile, took the steamed bun from Chen Shaoyou's hand, and smiled happily, "Thank you, big brother." ”

Watching the little boy leave happily, Chen Shaoyou's eyebrows raised slightly, and the corners of his lips raised a shallow arc.

So much so that when the little boy was picking up the steamed buns, he accidentally scratched a thin blood mark from the dirty nails of the little boy and didn't pay attention to it.

On this day, the soldiers hurriedly found Shang Yuyue and said respectfully: "Mrs. Chen, there is a person named Shen Shuyan outside who wants to see you." ”

Shang Yuyue put down the decoction he was brewing in his hand, it was Houttuynia cordata, which was sent by Chen Shaoyou yesterday.

When he saw Shen Shuyan, he was still dressed in blue, with a smile on his eyebrows, "Cousin, are you okay?" ”

Shang Yuyue invited him to sit down and smiled, "I'm fine." ”

Shen Shuyan glanced at her deeply and chuckled: "I regret it." ”

Shang Yuyue raised her eyebrows, "What does my cousin regret?" ”

"I regret that I didn't give you a love thing before Chen Shaoyou married you."

Shang Yuyue was stunned.

Shen Shuyan chuckled lightly and took out a wooden hairpin from his arms, "I wanted to give it to you in Hanshan Temple that day...... However, after all, it was a step too late. ”

Shang Yuyue finally understood what Shen Shuyan meant, and smiled a little uncomfortably: "Cousin, don't be joking. ”

"I always have to say my thoughts, otherwise, I will always be unable to let go of my heart for the rest of my life."

Shen Shuyan smiled softly, the seriousness and ease in his eyes coexisted, "This wooden hairpin was made by me myself, and now, it should be regarded as a gift from my brother." ”

Shang Yuyue looked at the wooden hairpin in his hand and hesitated for a moment.

She just wanted to be good friends with him, invest in every one of his business assets, and touch his future glory in China, but she never thought that she would have the slightest emotional entanglement with him.

Wooden hairpins.

She can't take it.

Even if it may make Shen Shuyan have a grudge against her.

But she couldn't take it.

"Cousin, I have already received a marriage letter with Chen Shaoyou."

Shen Shuyan smiled faintly, looked at the wooden hairpin in his hand, and gently tucked it into his sleeve, he was not surprised by Shang Yueyue's refusal.

"Come today," the soft smile in Shen Shuyan's eyes disappeared, and was replaced by a polite smile in the past: "I want to ask my cousin, I want to do a big business, spend nearly one million taels of silver, I can't pay a penny, and I will only give half of the dividends to my cousin in the future, and my cousin wants to buy shares?" ”

Shang Yue was surprised in vain!

Shen Shuyan chuckled: "What? Don't want to? ”

"No!"

Shang Yuyue blurted out without hesitation, her fingertips trembling slightly with excitement.

She knew what he was talking about!

It was the beginning of his world-shattering fame.

Taking a deep breath, Shang Yuyue said solemnly: "I am willing, it's just one million taels of silver, I can't take out that much, and the silver in my hand adds up to about one million taels, I can't touch his roots without my father's permission, but ......"

Shang Yuyue smiled firmly: "But I can give you 500,000 taels first, and in the future, within three months, I will definitely make it up." ”

Shen Shuyan's eyes were deep, and his smile was clean, "Shang Yue, you just believe me like that!" With so much silver, you didn't ask me what to do, and just let me do it without hesitation, aren't you afraid? ”

Shang Yuyue smiled slowly, "I only need a deed from my cousin, a deed that I cooperate with you, and I don't think about anything else." ”

Shen Shuyan looked at her complicatedly, "You are like this, it is difficult for a man who is tempted by you to let go." ”

"Cousin!" "I'm already Chen Shaoyou's wife, let's only talk about business, okay?" ”

"If you weren't his wife......

Shen Shuyan chuckled, but he didn't finish his words.

If it weren't for Shang Yuyue, who was already Chen Shaoyou's wife, how could he let her be alone when he learned that he was attracted to her.

He, Shen Shuyan, has always known that what he wants, he must fight for it until he holds it in his hand.
