Walking into a cesspit, the best evil widow wants to stand up

Chapter 398 Borrowing Food Seeds from Shen Ping

"Mother Dachun, why did you come down to the fields in person? Thank you so much, otherwise we don't know when the rain will come.

Look, you bought these servants, and now you don’t have to go to the fields yourself anymore.”

"That's right. We are so lucky to have Lady Chun! Thanks to her for praying for rain from the sky, we can grow some food then."

However, when it comes to growing crops, everyone fell silent again. In the past, when it didn't rain, they always hoped for rain, thinking that they could grow crops when it rained.

But now it has really rained, and they can't find the direction. The key is that no one has extra food, and the grain seeds that were left over have all been eaten.

A woman named Aunt Liu looked at Shen Ping and her group, and mustered up the courage to ask: "Mrs. Dachun, you are here with your servants to identify the fields. Are you planning to plant something?"

Since she asked, Shen Ping didn't intend to hide it. Besides, everyone would know when it grew. "It's past the rice planting season now. I plan to plant some corn and sweet potatoes, and some other vegetables~"

After saying that, Shen Ping took Dadong and a few others to continue recognizing the fields, amidst the envious looks of the other girls.

Watching Shen Ping's back walking away, Aunt Six asked the old woman next to her: "Gou Sheng Niang, do you have any seeds left at home?"

The dog's mother had a worried look on her face: "Sixth Aunt, you know our family's situation. We have a large family and little food, so how can we have seeds? I wanted to save some, but then I thought, people are starving to death, why should we save seeds? Now, we have eaten all the seeds."

Several other women echoed: "Our situation is similar to yours. It would be great if we had seeds now."

Someone suggested, "Dachun's family seems to be doing well. How about we go and borrow some grain seeds from Dachun?"

"Yes, yes. I think we can give it a try. It's better for us to speak up than for our boss to speak up."

"Yes! Then we have a deal, we'll go together later!"

After discussion, several women unanimously agreed to go to Shen Ping to borrow grain seeds. When the others heard about it, they also came over and said they wanted to go together.

A large group of people, about twenty or thirty of them, walked towards Shen Ping's house.

The village chief's wife, Xiao, found out about this and hurried back to tell her husband. The village chief got angry when he heard it. Isn't this nonsense?

He had originally planned to borrow grain seeds from Shen Ping, but he didn't expect that these villagers would be quicker than him.

Among these dozens of people, some of them don’t know yet that Dachun’s mother’s family has just given birth to a grandson. If they go there and anger Dachun’s mother, they might mess up the matter and there will be no hope.

Thinking of this, the village chief ran out in a hurry and stopped them at the fork in the road before they entered Shen Ping's house.

"Stop, you bunch of old women! Where are you going, dozens of people?" The village chief ran until he was out of breath, holding his knees with his hands and panting.

Everyone looked at each other, then looked at Sixth Aunt, and only Sixth Aunt followed their lead.

Aunt Six smiled at the village chief and said, "Village chief, it's like this. We plan to go to Dachun Niang to borrow grain seeds. It's great that you're here now. Let's go together. Dachun Niang will definitely give you face."

The village chief glared at them, "There are so many of you here, aren't you making a scene? Go back quickly and let me talk to Dachunniang first."

"Village chief, we are now ready to arrive at Dachun's mother's house. Why don't we go in together? What do you think?" Aunt Liu looked at the big houses not far away and said hesitantly.

"That's right! Village chief, let's go in together."

"Of course not. Now that we are here, we can let Dachunniang know our sincerity. Village chief, don't you think so?"

The village chief glared and looked around at the villagers present: "Why, you don't listen to me, right?"

Seeing that everyone still wanted to go in, the village chief narrowed his eyes again and said, "I'll be frank with you. Don't blame me for not reminding you if you get turned away by Dachun later~"

"..."

Dozens of people standing at the Zhangjia fork in the road also attracted Dadong's attention. Dadong looked carefully and it seemed that the village chief was still there talking to everyone.

Everyone's eyes looked towards the Zhang family's mansion from time to time, and Dadong quickly reported this strange phenomenon to Shen Ping.

Shen Ping's lips curled up. She probably guessed what they were doing. She said to Dadong nonchalantly, "Okay, I know. Dadong, go open the door for the village chief first. Guizhi, make him a cup of tea."

After hearing what Shen Ping said, Dadong and Guizhi couldn't help but look confused. They looked at each other and couldn't understand why the lady would say such a thing. The village chief didn't come at all.

"What are you two still standing there for? Hurry up!" Hong Gu tugged at Dadong's sleeve and glared at him.

The look probably meant that you just need to obey the master's orders, so how can you question it?

Although they had doubts in their minds, Dadong and Guizhi continued to do their own things.

Unexpectedly, Dadong was full of doubts. Before he even reached the gate, he heard someone knocking on the door: "Dachun Niang~ I'm the village chief~"

When Dadong heard this, he immediately perked up. The lady was really amazing. How did she know that the village chief would come?

Looking at the village chief who walked in, Guizhi, who had just come out of the kitchen, was also filled with surprise. Her hand holding the tea tray trembled and she almost spilled the tea.

"cough~"

Hong Gu covered her nose with her hand and coughed lightly. Guizhi quickly came to her senses and brought tea to the village chief.

The village chief was holding a dozen eggs and some red dates, mushrooms and other sundry items in his hand, and handed them to Shen Ping: "Mother Dachun, everyone heard that your third daughter-in-law gave birth to a big fat boy.

Everyone gathered some eggs and asked me to send them to you. These things are small gifts but they convey great sentiments, and they are a token of our love." As he said this, he smiled again with embarrassment.

This is really nothing to show for it, but we have all tried our best.

"Thank you for being so thoughtful!" Shen Ping glanced at the things in the village chief's hand. Although they were ordinary, it was not easy to squeeze out these things when every household had little food.

"Guizhi~"

Shen Ping turned her head and tilted her head to Guizhi. Guizhi understood and stepped forward to take the things in the village chief's hand.

Now Shen Ping sent someone to take the things over, and the village chief breathed a sigh of relief.

"Village chief, I think you are not here just to congratulate me today. Is there something else? If my guess is correct, is it related to Qiu Zhong? Tell me!" Shen Ping looked at the village chief with sharp eyes.

“Uh uh~”

The village chief was drinking tea. When he heard Shen Ping say this, he was choked. He couldn't help but smile guiltily and thought to himself, "This Dachunniang is really amazing. She even guessed this."
