Stingy Husband Farming

Song Bai didn't expect it to be because of this. Looking at the puppy, his heart softened for a moment, and he didn't care about the name Ah Huang: "It's a cheap name, shouldn't it be called Gouzi, Goudan or something?"

Shen Mu scratched his head: "But it's a dog in the first place, so it's weird to be called Goudan? Besides, Shen Laoer's youngest son is called Goudan, so I don't want my son to have the same name as him."

makes sense.Then... let's call it Ah Huang.Song Bai agreed without any principle.

"Ah Huang, come here." Shen Mu waved to the puppy.The puppy Ah Huang happily ran over and ate a small piece of minced meat from Shen Mu's hand. "Ah Huang, Ah Huang, remember, your name will be Ah Huang from now on."

The puppy wagged its tail at Shen Mu, not feeling anything bad about his name at all.

Liu:  …

Forget it, as long as they are happy.

Buying Ahuang owed money to the shopkeeper of the dry goods store, and he had to pay it off when he gave red mushrooms next time.Shen Mu didn't expect that the money in his hand would decrease, this time he counted and picked a lot more red mushrooms.

Shen Mu straightened his waist, counted the red mushrooms in the back basket, and said sullenly, "It's getting colder, and the red mushrooms are getting less and less." It took two hours longer to pick these than the first time to pick the red mushrooms.

"Yeah, it's cold, and this business won't last long. We'll have to wait for the next year." Russula is also a seasonal thing, and it's impossible to do this business all year round. "But don't worry, are you afraid that you won't make money if you follow me?"

That's right, Song Bai could earn 2000 taels before, and now he must have a way to earn more.Thinking of the 2000 taels, Shen Mu felt better.

The 2000 taels of their family have not been moved yet, and they have made a lot of money selling red mushrooms, plus Shen Mu and Liu's copying fees, they have already saved several taels of silver.It's a great feeling that money can only come in and out of the house.

Song Bai also came over and counted the red mushrooms in the basket: "That's all, the others are too small, let's grow a little longer, and I'll pick them next time." Mushroom covered up.

The two went down the mountain hand in hand.

When they were far away, two people appeared from behind the bushes, stepped forward and lifted the leaves of the dead tree placed by Song Bai, revealing a small red mushroom underneath.

"Is this the thing?" One of the visitors was Wang Ermazi. He had always been bitter about not being able to marry into the Shen family. Later, he was beaten by Shen Mu. He lost all face, so he hated Shen Mu's family.He lived across from Shen Mu's house, and he usually just watched the movement of Shen Mu's house when he was free.

Shen Mu and Song Bai often went up the mountain and found a way to get rich, and he was the first to find out.

Of course, gradually, other people in the village also found out.It's just that Shen Mu's family kept it a secret, and no one knows what they found on the mountain until now.Shen Mu's house was in Rexiaoli before, so it was not easy to come and inquire.

Now it's so easy to wait for Shen Mu's family to have a hot filial piety, and because of the previous incident of "Boss Shen appearing and smashing the ancestral hall", those who want to take advantage of it will inevitably murmur in their hearts and dare not come to the door.

Wang Ermazi didn't believe in Boss Shen's apparition.But he and Shen Mu's family didn't have any friendship, so he invited friends and friends to secretly follow Shen Mu and Song Bai.

So this discovered the secret of the red mushroom.

Wang Ermazi's friend is Shen Cheng, and he and Shen Mu are still close relatives.He is also an idle master, otherwise he can get mixed up with Wang Ermazi.

His mother wanted to go to Shen Mu's house to inquire about ways to make money before, but she was overwhelmed by the incident of "Boss Shen appearing and splitting the ancestral hall", so she didn't dare to go for a while.

Shen Cheng also didn't believe in the theory of apparition.He picked up the small red mushroom and said curiously: "It's not like I haven't seen this red mushroom on the mountain before. Everyone said that the brightly colored mushroom is poisonous. I didn't expect it to be edible? Can it be sold for money?"

"It might not be edible, right? Maybe they're just selling it!" Wang Ermazi said. "However, I heard that wild man surnamed Song call this mushroom Russula, so it should be red."

Because of Shen Mu's matter, he still didn't like Song Bai, so he opened his mouth and kept calling Song Baiye a man.

Shen Cheng glanced at Wang Ermazi in surprise, he didn't know the case yet.I don't know why Wang Ermazi's tone is so hostile towards Song Bai. "Why, did this person offend Second Brother Wang?"

Wang Ermazi snorted coldly, didn't answer, took the red mushroom in Shen Cheng's hand and pondered.

"Hey, if you can eat it, don't you know if you try it?"

The two put the red mushroom in their arms, went down the mountain and went back to the village to find a dog. They didn't know whose dog was so unlucky. They drove them to a secluded place and fed the red mushroom.

Then the two began to observe the dog.Until it was dark, the dog was still alive and kicking.He also won fights with other dogs.

"It's really edible!" Wang Ermazi exclaimed. "Tomorrow they should go to the county seat. Let us take the opportunity to go up the mountain to pick all the red mushrooms, and make a fortune!"

The two agreed on a time, and then dispersed.When Shen Cheng went home and told his parents about this, his mother immediately changed his mind.

She didn't dare to ask Mrs. Liu directly because she was afraid that Boss Shen's ghost would be unhappy.Everyone in their generation knows that Boss Shen loves Mrs. Liu the most. What if Boss Shen doesn't like them coming to play tricks on Mrs. Liu and harming them?

But now it's different, now it's Wang Ermazi who came up with the mystery he discovered on the mountain.This mountain does not belong to Shen Mu's family, it belongs to everyone in the village, whoever finds it belongs to him.If Shen Mu could come, their family would naturally be able to come too!

So when he went up the mountain the next day, Wang Ermazi saw Shen Cheng, his mother, and his two sister-in-laws all coming.

Wang Ermazi was immediately unhappy. The number of red mushrooms is limited, so if one more person comes, he will pay less? !Their old Shen family invited so many people to come, how much money do they want to divide themselves? !

Shen Cheng's mother, Du Jinhua, also saw that Wang Ermazi was unhappy.In the past, she didn't like her son making friends with Wang Ermazi the most, she was afraid that Wang Ermazi would bring her son into trouble, and she would not look good when seeing Wang Ermazi.But today is different, Du Jinhua also knows that what her family did is a bit unkind.

But what about the old saying?If people are not for themselves, heaven and earth will perish!This mountain does not belong to Shen Mu's family, nor his Wang Ermazi's family. If Wang Ermazi can steal money from Shen Mu's men, why can't their family steal money from Wang Ermazi's men?No matter how unkind, she has to do it for the benefit of her own family!

Thinking of this, Du Jinhua felt at ease again.However, he still smiled at Wang Ermazi and said, "You young men are careless. This kind of work is not as proficient as us women. Didn't I just call your two sisters-in-laws to come over and help together? Let's share the money after the sale!"

Who wants to share with you? !You are not here to help, you are here to steal money from me!Wang Ermazi was not happy.

Du Jinhua pretended not to see Wang Ermazi's face as black as a pan, "You don't want to see your aunt, you'll come to my aunt's house for dinner these few days, and your third sister-in-law stays at home to cook!"

The third daughter-in-law didn't like Du Jinhua, so she didn't take her to make money, and even gave her the housework.

Wang Ermazi couldn't help it either.People are coming, and he can't send people down the mountain, otherwise Shen Mu's family will find out if there is too much noise.I had to suffer this loss, thinking in my heart, go to your house for dinner, and see if I don't make your family poor! !Get back all the money you lost! !

He, Wang Ermazi, is easy to bully?Sooner or later, I will get back my capital with interest!

Several people were busy on the mountain all morning, Shen Cheng's two sister-in-laws were really capable, picking red mushrooms on the mountain by comparison.After a while, one person picked a big basket.

Wang Ermazi was much worse. He was a lazy guy, and he usually didn't do any work. He picked the least in the group, and they were all the leaks hidden under the leaves of Song Bai.

Du Jinhua couldn't close her mouth from ear to ear, she didn't go home to eat at noon, and asked the eldest daughter-in-law to take a few corn buns to make do with.After another afternoon of picking, everyone had a lot of red mushrooms in their baskets, even Wang Ermazi had half a basket.

Several people came down the mountain happily, and Du Jinhua seriously invited Wang Ermazi to eat at home.I don't think Wang Ermazi ate too much.She didn't know the value of these red mushrooms, she just thought they were the same price as ordinary shiitake mushrooms.But even ordinary shiitake mushrooms are very valuable in the eyes of farmers.What's the point of asking Wang Ermazi to eat some wild vegetables?

Wang Ermazi took a trip home, put all the mushrooms he picked in his own house, went to Shen Cheng's house for dinner empty-handed, and said to Du Jinhua, "Aunt Du, I picked mushrooms like this today, and I'll eat them on a plate." Yeah. I'll make your family rich, Auntie, you can't be stingy and get some wild vegetables and steamed bread to fool me."

Du Jinhua felt a little uncomfortable.She was really planning to get some wild vegetables and fooled it.

"These red mushrooms can be exchanged for money..." Du Jinhua was a little bit reluctant.

"If I hadn't brought your family to become a kid, your family wouldn't be able to earn a penny! Auntie wouldn't want to eat a few fungi!" Wang Ermazi sat on the bench of Shen Cheng's family and began to brag about his achievements: "This In the future, Shen Chengcheng don't work with me, and I won't tell your family about such a good thing!"

Having said all this, Du Jinhua grabbed four or five mushrooms into the kitchen with a dark face, and fried them with water celery.

When it was time to eat, Wang Ermazi dropped his chopsticks on the mushrooms—Du Jinhua was not happy, and did not fix other dishes, except that the mushrooms were all wild vegetables.

Wang Ermazi put most of the mushrooms on the plate with two chopsticks. Du Jinhua saw that it was worth it, so she quickly picked up the rest of the plate and put it into her own bowl, and then slowly distributed it to several sons. She herself was not willing to eat it. , it was not much.

Shen Cheng took a bite, then frowned: "Why is this mushroom still a little spicy?"

Wang Ermazi also took a big gulp. He put half of the plate of mushrooms into his own bowl, and only then began to eat.He likes spicy food, so he doesn't think it's unpalatable, it's just that it's very fresh: "Maybe it's because of this that these mushrooms are expensive? After all, they are special!"

Wouldn't it be nice to put peppers in regular mushrooms?Du Jinhua also tasted it, and it was really spicy, numb and spicy.Shen Cheng didn't like spicy food, so Du Jinhua put those mushrooms back into her bowl.

"Maybe this mushroom can be used as medicine, so the price is expensive." Du Jinhua guessed.People say that good medicine tastes bitter. Does this medicine have any strange taste?The spicy ones were not fresh either.

This statement was agreed by most people at the dinner table.Thinking that it might be a medicinal material, it might be good for your health, even if you don’t like spicy food, you insist on eating it.The daughters-in-law didn't get a share, and they all watched enviously.

Wang Ermazi took most of the plate by himself.

At the dinner table, several people agreed to go to the town to sell mushrooms together tomorrow.Go up the mountain again in the future, and spend time with Shen Mu's family, so as not to be discovered.

Speaking of it, I still feel a little guilty.After eating, several people dispersed and went back to their homes.

In the early morning of the second day, Song Bai and Shen Mu went up the mountain to pick red mushrooms as usual.It was said the day before yesterday that the weather was getting colder, and the red mushroom business could no longer be done.I went to the county town yesterday and told the shopkeeper of the dry goods store that I will no longer sell red mushrooms in the future, and will sell them next year.

This is a business that depends on God's food, and the shopkeeper also understood, and mentioned a few things that they might have on the mountain. If they can find them, they can also be sold in their shop.

Shen Mu agreed, but went out to discuss with Song Bai, whether to plant winter wheat first before talking about other things.I didn't go up the mountain today to pick red mushrooms and sell them. Their family sold so many red mushrooms, but I haven't eaten them once.There are not many left on the mountain, Song Bai decided to pick it up this time and take it back to stew chicken soup for Shen Mu and Liu Shi, as nourishment is most needed in autumn and winter.

As a result, today seemed to be particularly unfavorable, and it took a long time to go up the mountain to pick two flowers.Song Bai stopped and picked up a leaf: "It's not right, I'm afraid someone has been here."

Shen Mu also noticed it.He clearly remembered that there were red mushrooms in several places yesterday, but there were none.If there were one or two places, he might have misremembered them. How could he have misremembered all these places?

Shen Mu said angrily: "Ah, this way of making money can't be covered anymore." Blood dripped from his heart instantly.

money!Ten cents for a flower!

Song Bai hurriedly hugged his shoulders to support him. Although he himself felt very distressed, he had to comfort Shen Mu: "It's okay, it's okay, the red mushrooms won't grow until this season. It's not a big loss."

Shen Mu felt aggrieved: "Who said that, just from what I remembered yesterday, there are at least ten flowers, one hundred coins... and next year, I'm afraid it won't be possible."

Thinking of one hundred Wen, Song Bai felt uncomfortable.After pondering for a while: "We can buy this mountain next year."

"Ah? Buy a mountain?" Shen Mu was stunned, "Is it worth it?"

"Of course it's not worth picking red mushrooms, but the climate on this mountain is suitable for the growth of fungi. Russula can't be cultivated, but we can cultivate other fungi. Look at the price of this mountain. It's the same price as the mountain in Xing'an County. If so, the money for buying the mountain can be earned back in two or three years, and it will be a net profit in the future." Song Bai calculated.

Shen Mu thought for a while: "No, you can't build a wall around this mountain. You can buy it if you say it? In the future, you can't say that someone will pick things on the mountain while you are not paying attention. Farmers picking things from the field are not considered stealing. Mushrooms are such a precious thing, if you pick a little bit from one family, you will be bald in a few days. It is impossible for us to report to the authorities just because of a few fungus."

"At that time, it will be up to Ah Huang. The children of the poor will be in charge of the family early, and our Ah Huang will have to work for the family when he is one year old." Song Bai joked, and looked around again: "Besides, it is impossible to say that the people in the village will Don’t dare to think about our family again.”

"Ah? Why?" Shen Mu didn't understand.

"Maybe it's because of our father." Song Bai thought for a while and smiled.

If he really followed his thinking, the matter of "Boss Shen appearing at the conference" was in the village, then it must be confirmed.Song Bai was very happy in his heart. "Don't think about it, let's see if there are any red mushrooms on the mountain that slipped through the net. Mom has already gone to buy chicken. If you can't find red mushroom chicken, why don't you just buy it for nothing?"

Shen Mu thought so, and hurriedly got up and looked for the red mushroom.

But yesterday, Wang Ermazi and Shen Cheng's family turned over the mountain too thoroughly. Let alone the red mushrooms, even the red leaves of the trees were turned over. In the end, they only found four small red mushrooms. It grew overnight last night.

But no one has touched the morels, picked a lot, and some fungus.

Shen Mu looked at the four little pitiful red mushrooms, and couldn't help but mutter: "I don't know who it is, but I also know the red mushrooms... No one knew you before you came to the village..."

"I'm afraid it's not because someone knows the red mushrooms, but we are being targeted. Maybe someone followed us and showed us the red mushrooms we picked." Song Bai said leisurely: "When Ah Huang grows up, we will Let him follow us up the mountain, and there is something turbulent behind us, and it can make a few noises to remind us."

"Ah!" Shen Mu was taken aback, and quickly turned around, just to see if there was anyone behind him.

Song Bai took his hand and said, "Watch the way." Then he said, "I guess there will be none today. Since they have already discovered the red mushroom, there is no need to follow us."

"It's disgusting." Shen Mu pouted.Even though this mountain is not yet his family's, Shen Mu gets angry when he thinks that someone is following him and stealing his family's money-making methods. "I don't know who is so annoying."

Song Bai looked at the sky in a daze: "If I'm not mistaken, I might know who it is soon."

When the two of them went down the mountain, they saw the old doctor from the neighboring village walking out of the village shaking his head and sighing. There was no one in the village, and there was a lot of shouting and cursing.

This old doctor was invited by Shen Mu to show Song Bai's legs before, so the two greeted him when they saw him. "Why did the old doctor come so early?"

The old doctor had a bitter face: "I was dragged here in the middle of the night last night. I have been busy all night, but I have tortured my old bones to death."

The old doctor had big dark circles under his eyes, and he really didn't sleep well.The two of them were too embarrassed to ask more questions, anyway, they couldn't hide the affairs of the village, and they would know everything they should know in two days.

After saying goodbye to the old doctor, the two returned home, and Mrs. Liu had already bought the chicken.The chicken was sold by a family in a neighboring village who specialized in raising chickens. It happened to be in the same village as the old doctor, so the village was called Xiaoji Village.The chicken seller directly helped clean up the chicken, and of course asked for an extra copper coin.

Song Bai was gearing up: "Mother, why won't you let me kill chickens? I'm the best at killing chickens."

Liu:  …

Mrs. Liu quickly coaxed: "I also listened to their gossip at that house, and I was a little reluctant to leave after hearing that. Next time, next time, I will definitely bring it back for you to kill."

Shen Mu's ears twitched, remembering that the old doctor is also from Xiaoji Village: "What gossip?"

"Hey, it's still about our village." Seeing that the two children didn't feel sorry for the penny anymore, Mrs. Liu was happy to change the topic: "Yesterday in the village, there were several members of Shen Cheng's family who suddenly vomited and diarrhea. The young man is fine, your Aunt Du Almost couldn’t make it through. The men in charge of the family have all collapsed, and only a few daughters-in-law are left to support things, and the third daughter-in-law of their family ran to Xiaoji Village in the middle of the night to ask for a doctor.”

Song Bai raised his eyebrows—it turned out to be their home.

He asked calmly: "Who is Shen Cheng? That's fine, why is the whole family vomiting and diarrhea all of a sudden?"

"Shen Cheng can be counted as Mu Ge'er's cousin. He is a relative of our family who has not been in the fifth service. But this family is not easy to get along with. You just need to nod when you meet in the future. You don't need to be friends with their family, especially Shen Cheng, there is no one who is upright all day long, so don't lead you into trouble." Liu first mentioned Song Bai, but she only heard that the old doctor was invited to Shenjiatun, and what happened after that was not clear: "Who knows? Have you eaten something unclean?"

Shen Mu also said foolishly: "Their family is so courageous, they dare to eat anything unclean."

Song Bai was amused in his heart.Just as he was about to speak, he heard a scream outside the courtyard.

"Ah!!! Dead!! Dead!!!"

The three of them were taken aback, and hurried out to see what happened.

The location of the incident was surprisingly close to their home: it was diagonally opposite their home.It's Wang Ermazi's house.The one who screamed was Shen Cheng's sister-in-law, who fell down at the door with a pale face.

Wang Ermazi is different from Shen Cheng's family where a large family lives together.His parents have gone, and he offended his elder brother before, so they have separated long ago, and they don't even have any contact with each other.

Yesterday, the Shen family vomited and vented, and a few daughter-in-laws who were fine went to the neighboring village to ask for a doctor. Wang Ermazi was really incompetent all by himself.

It was Du Jinhua who was so angry that she asked the eldest daughter-in-law to come to Wang Ermazi's house and ask him to pay for their family's medical expenses.The eldest daughter-in-law patted the door for a long time but no one opened it for her, so she kicked the door in a moment of anger, only to see Wang Ermazi lying in the vomit on the ground.

At that time, she felt a shock in her heart. Some villagers passed by and saw it. They kindly went to help Wang Er Mazi get up, but found that he was dead, even his body was hard and cold.

Looking again, there was a small puddle of blood in the middle of the vomit.Presumably, he vomited blood at the end.

The scream just now came from Shen Cheng's sister-in-law.As soon as she saw Wang Ermazi's blue face and purple lips, her legs gave way in fright, she fell to the ground, and scrambled back several feet.

Song Bai and Shen Mu held their noses and leaned over to take a look at the excitement—it was because Wang Ermazi's vomit smelled too strong.With sharp eyes, Song Bai saw half a basket of red mushrooms in the room at a glance.

Shen Mu also saw it, and was stunned for a moment, not realizing what was going on.

Mrs. Liu stood far away, covering her nose, and repeatedly called them back: "Don't go in, you don't think it's bad luck!" Not to mention disgusting? ?

The two looked at each other, and obediently returned to Liu's side.

Mrs. Liu also taught them in a low voice: "It's enough to stand here and watch, don't get so close..."

At this time, Shen Cheng's sister-in-law also gradually recovered and saw Song Bai and Shen Mu.She pointed at them tremblingly, her lips trembling: "It's you... Did you deliberately harm our family! It must be you!"

Song Bai raised his eyebrows.Unexpectedly, this family was even more shameless than he imagined.
