Chapter 5: Resentment
Ten days later, there began to be fresh and tender vegetables for sale in Ping'an Town, although the amount was very small, but it was also discovered by some careful people, these vegetable farmers are people from the civilian area in the north of the city. The purchasing managers of several restaurants have come to this place and signed vegetable supply agreements with residents in Chengbei District.
Sitting in the house and having money to get it, and being able to do business with the steward of the big restaurant, made many people feel that this was something they couldn't think of, and they were grateful to the Du family.
Some people thought that this was a family that had been applied, and they had some awe for the Du family. One person started sending two eggs to Du's house, and others followed suit. Eggs, cloth, snacks, or door-to-door help carry water and chop wood, or door-to-door chatting with needlework to get closer, people express their feelings with actions. The relationship between the Du family and the people in the north of the city is unprecedentedly harmonious, but it also unconsciously spread the reputation of the Du family - the family blessed by the god of grains.
In the evening of this day, Mama Du came back, looking a little melancholy, and after eating, she told Du Niangzi that the Zhu family proposed to invite 10 copies of the statue of Ceres, and promised to give 100 taels of gold as a reward.
"Mama, we only had 300 statues of gods at the beginning, and now where are they left? Du Niangzi poured water into the bathtub, hugged Qingqing into the bathtub, and bathed Qingqing.
"Yes, that's what I said. Mama Du frowned, "If I had kept some at the beginning, I would have bought a small grange with a hundred taels of gold, and Miss and Miss would not have to work so hard." Mama Du felt a pain in her heart when she thought about it, "I'm too stupid, why do you want to say how many pictures the gods give us, my stinky mouth!" said and raised his hand to slap himself.
"Mama" Du Niangzi hurriedly stopped, and Qingqing also hurriedly came out of the bathtub and threw herself into Mama's arms, hugging Mama's hands.
"Ouch, my little miss, don't catch a cold, come, Mama will give you a bath"
"Mama, how big can a hundred taels of gold buy for a grange?" said that she didn't want to, but Du Niangzi still couldn't help but think.
"One hundred taels of gold can be exchanged for one thousand two hundred taels of silver on the black market, and a manor of one hundred acres of fine land can be bought with a surplus of wealth. ”
Qingqing was a dog's tail grass in her previous life, and she is a child in this life, and she doesn't understand how much a hundred taels of gold and a hundred-acre manor mean to Mama Du and Du Niangzi. It's just that when I saw Mama Du and Mrs. Du's demeanor, I decided to help them again.
"Mother, mother, tonight I beg the old fairy to give us ten more idols. Don't be unhappy. ”
"Don't mind, what if the immortals think that we are insatiable and take back all the spells? What if we make Qingqing sick again because of this? I still don't ask the immortals, be content, think about the old days, and then think about the present I am very content. As long as Mama and Qingqing are by my side, I don't care if I have this money or not. Du Niangzi washed the green, took out the bathtub, dried her body, kissed her daughter's little belly, and then stuffed it into the quilt.
"Mama, I'll make it clear to the old lady of the Zhu family tomorrow, so that people don't have to look forward to it. ”
"Okay, let's do it. ”
In the evening, Qingqing discussed with the relics, planning to use spiritual power to make ten more cereal statues, but the relics did not agree at all.
"Qingqing, with the spiritual power in your body now, you can't make ten at all, most of the three hundred that were sent out before are in the northern part of the city, and only a small part is scattered in a few small villages nearby, fortunately, they are all medium fields and wastelands with few acres, and the spiritual power of the spirit rune itself can control the growth of crops in these fields. You and your own strength can control all the plants in the northern part of the city, which is why the effect is so obvious, and the people who get the spirit runes trust you so much.
The Zhu family has five hundred acres of land in Ling County, and their own mana is not so far at present, and they can't control it so much with just ten spirit runes. The Zhu family is an old household in this county, and there are many old friends with in-laws, if ten spirit runes are distributed to others, the effect of spirit runes will be difficult to be effective. Think about it, once the effect is not obvious, the Zhu family will come to the door to hold them accountable, how can you let Mama Du and your mother save themselves?"
"Also, the Zhu family is rich and powerful, and they can buy the spirit runes in other people's hands, why are they sure that Mama Du still has the idea in her hands? If you really give them it, will it cause trouble? You should know the story of the innocent and guilty of the horse. ”
Qingqing was speechless and was stunned.
The next day, Mama Du did not receive the statue of Ceres at the bedside, and in the evening Mama Du came home and said that the Zhu family did not need so many people for the time being, and asked her and another domestic helper to go home to listen to the news, and then invite someone when she had work.
On the third day, there were 20 tofu stalls in Chengbei District, all of which were performed for three cents a piece.
On the fourth day, everyone in the north of the city sold the statue of the god of ceres except for the Du family, and a statue of the god was twenty taels. People in the northern district of the city don't go to Du's house anymore.
On the fifth day, someone from Mama Du's village came to deliver a letter, Uncle Du and his two sons were injured by stones on the mountain when they were working, Mama Du went home to take care of the sick, and Mama Du took away the only ten taels of silver left in the family.
Qingqinggan knew that only three of his 300 small green seedlings were still around, and the others didn't know where they had gone, and the incense couldn't be harvested.
For the first time in Qingqing's two lives, a tear was left, and an emotion belonging to human beings took root in Qingqing's body - resentment
