Chapter 13 Yu Sanlang fights for the village

The Yu family secretly divided up the family and had a reunion dinner that night. Early the next morning, Yu Silang left home again.

She always eats later than others. Her mother always brings food to her room and cooks for her. When Yu Hongdou gets up, she finds out that the village chief has called a meeting for everyone in the village.

"Hmm~ Hmm I'll go too~" Yu Hongdou stuffed the egg that her mother had peeled into her mouth. Her mouth was stretched like a little hamster. She chewed it hard and swallowed it raw. This frightened Xu so much that she quickly picked up the bowl of water and gave her two sips.

"Okay, I'll take you there. Don't worry, mother is waiting for you." Mrs. Xu looked at her daughter with both anger and amusement, and smoothed her chest. Since her daughter recovered from her illness, she became much more lively, which made her feel relieved from the bottom of her heart. Finally, she no longer had to worry about her daughter dying at any time.

Yu Sanlang was originally one step behind his father and brothers and wanted to wait for his wife to go together, but he didn't expect his wife to stop him by asking his daughter, who was a little troublemaker. He tapped his daughter's nose with amusement, took her from his wife's arms, and carried her to the gathering place in the village.

"Dad, why is the village chief gathering everyone together?" Yu Hongdou was very curious because she hadn't heard about it yesterday.

"You wouldn't understand even if I tell you, you little rascal." Yu Sanlang didn't answer. The village chief would tell him later anyway. There were people all over the road now, so he'd better not let out the news in advance, lest he be surrounded and unable to leave.

"Hmph~" Yu Hongdou pouted pretending to be angry, then pursed her lips embarrassedly. Ever since she discovered her family's extreme pampering and love for her, she seemed to have really become smaller.

"Is our Hongdou angry? Dad said he would take you to the mountain to catch rabbits in the afternoon, but it seems we can't go." Yu Sanlang laughed and teased his daughter intentionally.

"Go, I want to go~ Daddy, I'm not angry." The little beauty is flexible. Although she knows that her father is teasing her, Yu Hongdou still rubs her hands flatteringly, thinking that if her father doesn't agree, she will shamelessly give her biological father a loving hug.

Yu Sanlang looked at his daughter tilting her head and rubbing her hands like flies, and couldn't help laughing out loud. How could this child be so funny!

The family of three happily arrived at the gathering place in the village, which was located next to the spring in the north of the village. By the time they reached the gathering place, almost all the villagers had arrived.

"Quiet, everyone, be quiet and listen to me!" The village chief stood on a stone platform next to the spring and signaled for silence.

The village chief was usually highly respected, and everyone knew it was not a big deal, and he would not gather everyone together, so things soon calmed down.

"I have gathered everyone here this time because I have something good to announce." The village chief looked at the sea of ​​people in front of him, and when his eyes swept over the Yu family, his heart was filled with admiration.

Before his grandfather died, he said that Yu Panshi was truly a great man since he had made it to where he is today from a beggar, and asked his father to get to know him better. In the past, he only thought that Yu Panshi was a good person and that his four sons were diligent and filial. Now it seems that he has great blessings in store for him.

"Village chief, what good news is this? Is it the tax exemption again?" For the common people, the happiest thing is to harvest more and pay less tax. They dare not even hope for other things that would fall from the sky.

"No, it was the third and fourth sons of the Yu family who found a way to make money for our village." The village chief did not keep anyone in suspense and announced it directly.

"How do you make money? Third brother, did you earn tax-free land for us?" After hearing the words of the village chief, everyone made a commotion. Soon someone started looking for the Yu family, and when they saw Yu Sanlang standing in the distance, they started asking loudly.

"You always dream of good things. There are not so many tax-free fields. They all need the protection of officials in the village." Others retorted the previous sentence and then asked: "Yu Laosan, why don't you tell me how to make money?"

Yu Sanlang was speechless and made a gesture to the village chief, saying "please look over there".

The people who were making loud noises looked in the direction of Yu Sanlang's hand and saw the village chief with a solemn expression, and they couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed.

"Third and fourth brothers, through a nobleman, have obtained the qualification for our village to try growing medicinal herbs." As soon as the village chief said this, the quiet people became noisy again.

"What? Planting medicinal herbs? Can that thing survive if you plant it?"

"Yes, of course we can, but what will we eat if we grow medicinal herbs?"

"If you make money from growing herbs, just buy food!"

"I've never bought a single grain of food in my life. I wonder if the food in the food store tastes the same as the food at home?"

"Stop arguing and listen to the village chief! Can the village chief still harm us?"

The last sentence controlled the whole audience very well, and everyone's eyes turned to the village chief again, but not Yu Hongdou in Yu Sanlang's arms.

She was looking at her biological father, Yu Sanlang, in amazement, and her mind was still full of wild guesses as to whether her father had been betrayed.

She guaranteed that this part was definitely not in the plot. Even though the survival of her little butterfly changed the course of some things, both Yu Hongdou's memory and her own judgment now told her that Yu Sanlang had no intention of staying in the village to farm.

It is also impossible to grow medicinal herbs because none of the four people in their family are good at doing physical work.

Why is the old man of the Yu family so rich, but he only has 18 acres of land and half a mountain?

Firstly, the fields near the village are monopolized by a few village heads, and secondly, there are few people in the Yu family who can do farm work.

Even though he has four sons, Yu Dalang is often lazy. Although it looks like he is working hard, he actually doesn't do much.

Yu Erlang is a sincere man, but his wife is afraid that he will work himself to death, so she asks him to take a break from time to time.

Yu Sanlang has been a cunning person since he was young. He does the least work, but he can find supplies for the family, so no one can find fault with him.

Yu Silang…ran away before he could even start working.

So over the years, Grandpa Yu saved money, but the family's land has not grown much.

"We're not asking you to plant it on your own. We're gathering everyone in the village to plant it together. After you're done planting, the officials will buy it and everyone will share the money. The county magistrate has specially approved all the wasteland to the north of Butterfly Mountain in the south to be assigned to our village, and we'll plant medicinal herbs there in the future." The village chief knew what the villagers valued most and he summed up the key points in a few words.

The villagers were in an uproar again. Some were tempted to see if they could benefit from it, some wanted to be lazy and didn't want to work, but most people were excited. Although they didn't know what to plant, they heard that they could get more mountains and land without touching their own fields, which meant they could earn more.

"Dad, what medicinal herbs are you planting? Are they the ones that grandpa picked?" Yu Hongdou blinked. Did her dad find a job as a "professor" for her grandfather?

"We grow medicinal herbs that are delicious and good for the body." Yu Sanlang answered his daughter with a bit of complacency. To be honest, it was all his credit, and the fourth child only had some contribution.

If it weren't for his good eyesight, he would not have discovered during his investigation in the mountains that the fourth brother's savior had secretly planted something in the mountains. He, who had learned to identify medicinal herbs since childhood, had no idea that it was possible to grow those two precious medicinal herbs in large tracts.

So what? A big question mark was drawn on Yu Hongdou's little face.

Soon the village chief gave her and everyone the answer: "It's ginger and pepper."
