217 Old Liu Helps To Harvest

Old Liu had never been to Hu Family Village. When Liu s.h.i.+ married w.a.n.g Chuanman, he was extremely against it. However, that was because his health was not good and he could not stop his daughter from getting married.

But he also did not allow the rest of the family to come over to send her off.

Thus, in the entire Hu Family Village, only Liu s.h.i.+ and w.a.n.g Chuanman knew what they looked like.

Originally, Village Chief Hu had some doubts about Old Liu’s ident.i.ty. Now, from the looks of it, even w.a.n.g Chuanfu did not know them.

He wondered if they had found out that the w.a.n.g Family was living well and wanted to come over to freeload?

A poor man may reside in the bustling city and find no love, but a rich man living in the remotest mountains would have distant relatives coming to visit.

The moment a family started leading a better life, relatives came from all directions. It wasn’t that they hadn’t encountered this before.

“Brother, look at how noisy this matter is. Why don’t you rest here first?” Village Chief Hu had a smile on his face. He pulled Old Liu to sit on a tree stump at the side and said earnestly, “You came at the wrong time. Coincidentally, Liu s.h.i.+ and the others are not at home. The children have also been brought out. Why don’t you come again next time?”

Old Liu frowned again. “Isn’t it the busy harvest season now? Where could they have gone?”

Could it be that they still hated him because he did not agree to his daughter marrying into their family back then?

Even now, Old Liu felt uneasy. However, he thought that since it was the most busy harvest season, if he did not come over to help, his daughter would probably be forced to dirty her feet in the fields again.

The last time Liu s.h.i.+ went over, she already looked thin. Although she had never said anything bad about her in-laws, how could Old Liu believe her?

She even eagerly returned the money. He wondered how her evil mother-in-law would torture her for that.

At the thought of this, Old Liu sneered. “Your Hu Family Village probably detained her and don’t want to let me see her, right? Did you bully my daughter? Don’t think that just because I haven’t come over in the past few years, you can lock my daughter up and bully her!”

The more Old Liu spoke, the angrier he became. He immediately wanted to rush into the village.

Village Chief Hu did not expect Old Liu to become so stubborn.

It had to be said that he was a little like that sister-in-law of the w.a.n.g Family. She would become extremely stubborn at the slightest disagreement.

“That’s not true. Our village doesn’t have that habit!” Village Chief Hu didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “They’re really not at home!”

However, Village Chief Hu did not say where the w.a.n.g Family had gone.

Liu Das.h.i.+ persuaded from the side, “Father, there’s no need for the village chief to lie to us. Why don’t we help our sister harvest the field first and leave after that?”

Village Chief Hu waved his hand. “That’s not necessary…”

They had all agreed to harvest from the more urgent fields first before helping Old man w.a.n.g harvest the rest.

w.a.n.g Chuanfu could not bear to spend money to hire workers, and they could not bear to see w.a.n.g Chuanfu’s family busy in the fields.

Old Liu looked at w.a.n.g Chuanfu. “Have you finished harvesting from your field?”

w.a.n.g Chuanfu subconsciously replied, “Far from finished!”

Village Chief Hu was speechless. This fellow needed to use his brains more before opening his mouth.

“Then why are you still stopping me? What shameful thing are you hiding in your village? Did you kill someone? Or set a fire? Is there something wrong with your head? Why are you stopping me here!” Old Liu was furious. “Why are you chatting with my family here? There’s still a lot of things to do at home. Don’t dawdle. Hurry up and move aside. Where’s your family’s land? I’ll help you harvest it. I still have to go back after this!”

Old Liu was not a good-tempered person to begin with. As time pa.s.sed, he became increasingly furious.

Village Chief Hu knew that it was not good to keep stopping them. It would not be good if this matter blew up.

Moreover, from his observation, Old Liu should have really come to help with the harvest. In the end, he did not stop him.

Because it was w.a.n.g Dalang who said, “Doesn’t this grandpa look very similar to Fourth Aunt?”

It was not just Liu Das.h.i.+ and Liu Ers.h.i.+ who looked similar to Liu s.h.i.+. Even from Old Liu’s facial features, one could vaguely see the resemblance.

They were a proper family, and there was a similarity between their eyebrows.

Village Chief Hu knew that going overboard was as bad as falling short. If he chased them away now, he would really be revealing what he intended to hide.

Who knew what these people would say when they returned? They would bring even more trouble to the village.

“Alright, Chuanfu. Bring your in-laws back. I’ll get someone to call your parents.”

Originally, Old man w.a.n.g had to stay in the Hu Family Village during the more busy farming periods. However, he couldn’t stay in the village for long and kept thinking about going to town.

When he went, he even carried two large stacks of bamboo toys for Little Ah Yu.

It had only been two days since he left.

w.a.n.g Chuanfu led Old Liu home. Old Liu said directly, “Don’t bring me to your house. I’m too lazy to go. Where is your field?”

Old Liu thought to himself that the w.a.n.g Family was extremely poor. They probably didn’t even have many good pieces of land. It would be good enough if they could even harvest a bit of grain.

If they helped with the harvest, they would be done in two hours at most. If they finished early, they could even go home for lunch.

The obedient w.a.n.g Chuanfu brought Old Liu to the 20 acres of land that the w.a.n.g Family had recently planted.

Then, he pointed at the golden expanse in front of him and said in embarra.s.sment, “Uncle, this is it. Here, here, here, on that mountain over there, and that slope over there. It’s all our land.”

Old Liu’s jaw almost fell off. “What?!!”

Liu Das.h.i.+ did not even blink as he stared in shock. “Are these all your family’s land?”

“That’s right. That’s not all. The other fields are leased out to the villagers.” w.a.n.g Chuanfu thought that these people should be his Fourth Aunt’s father and brothers. Since the village chief had agreed to let them in, these things could not be hidden.

Liu Ers.h.i.+ gasped. “So much!”

Not only was the land vast, the crops were growing very well.

At this time of the year, the weeds in the fields of everyone were usually more lush than the grain. It was already not bad if one mu of land could contain a dan of grain.

Now, the fields in front of them were filled with lush grain, especially the rice stalks in the paddy field. They were golden and heavy, and they were all bent over as if they could not bear the burden of life.

Old Liu did not have such experience in harvesting crops. He could only vaguely guess that this mu of land probably had ten dans of grain!

“Wow, Little Sister Ah Yu rice is so beautiful!” The three children, who had not spoken, finally could not help but discuss.

Gousheng whispered to Goudan, “Is it because she ate this kind of rice that Little Sister Ah Yu is so good-looking?”

Goutou asked, “Where’s Little Sister Ah Yu?”

They had followed them over not to work, but to see the porcelain doll-like Little Sister Ah Yu.

When w.a.n.g Dalang heard this, he said, “Ah Yu isn’t at home. She’s studying outside.”

“Little Sister Ah Yu is studying? What book is she studying?” Gousheng touched his head and squeezed out a book name. “Is it the s.p.a.ce Book?”

His grandfather often told him that he was staring into a s.p.a.ce Book every day.

w.a.n.g Dalang: “…No.”

He was also studying, but he was not learning any poems or songs. He was learning some common words and arithmetic.

Although Old Liu was shocked, he still buried his head and started working.

He was an experienced farmer. With his two sons, he quickly harvested more than half an acre of land.

With his help, w.a.n.g Chuanfu and his son worked even harder.

Madam Feng was chased home to cook. She still had to boil some mint water.They did not let her continue working in the fields.

The three children were more interested in the land filled with wild fruits and shuttled through it to pluck the fruits.

As the sun rose, the village entrance began to become lively.

Someone saw two donkey carts driving into the village from afar.

The children at the front shouted, “Ah Yu is back! Ah Yu is back!”

“Wow, our Little Fortune Star is back!”

Old Liu, who was engrossed in his work, suddenly raised his waist and turned to look outside.
