Xu is thick-skinned and is not afraid of gossip. Moreover, Zhou Man took the initiative to pay the money to her, so don’t be idle!

What's more, the money was raining in time, and she was short of the ten taels of silver to marry Xue Ning'an!

Seeing that Zhou Man was sensible, Xu, at her suggestion, paid the money with great pleasure and said enthusiastically: "You girl, are really too polite! I'm sorry, but I can't waste your whole heart. You are beautiful and enthusiastic. There are not many kind girls like you. Whoever marrys you as a wife will be the blessing of whoever is the blessing of whoever is."

Zhou Man smiled and said, "Auntie, I am Mr. Xue's friend. When he encounters difficulties, I can help him. It's nothing."

Xu's eyes rolled around, "What's the girl's surname? Did you say you're a kiss?"

Zhou Man's face turned red and said shyly: "My surname is Zhou. My father is the director of Anren Academy. I have never said he is close. Mom wants to stay with me for two more years."

Xu smiled and said, "I'll invite you to visit your home next time, thank you!"

Ordinary people will not invite unmarried girls to visit her. Even if they invite them, they will not agree. But if they are not relatives or relatives, they will not agree. But if they change their thoughts, Zhou Man knew that Xu was expressing his attitude and revealing the information he had liked her.

Zhou Man smiled. This was exactly the purpose of her paying money to Xu. Telling about her family background was also to ask Xu to look at her differently.

Sure enough, her ten taels of silver were not lost in vain.

"You have to ask about your parents at home." Zhou Man lowered his head, his ears blushed.

"This is natural!" Xu was happy to get the accurate information. Although he thought that Zhou Man, a girl with a good family background and a good personality, would be a good match for Xue Shenzhi. Then he thought that Zhou Man had a good background and could get a lot of benefits if he got married, the dowry would be indispensable.

Two people with different minds exchanged a few greetings and went to their own homes.

——

The Shangzhi houses were all renovated and the septic tank was also repaired, leaving only a circle of stones built on the edge of the pond.

Chen Si called on several powerful people from the village to build stones, first rammed the soil on the edge, then laid a layer of tar, and then made stones on it.

Chen Yaozu next to Chen Yuan, smiling and showing his sharp tiger teeth, "Brother Chen, I heard from my mother that you were engaged?"

Someone heard it and said, "Which girl? Is it Shang Yatou?"

Most of the villages knew about He's asking the Bingman to propose marriage.

Chen Yuan tightened his face and said nothing.

Chen Siguai's elbow, "Tao Xiucai's daughter."

"Oh, not bad! Tao Xiucai's family is a clean and honest family, and he is a good family. He just doesn't marry his eldest daughter, but I have seen that little girl. He is a well-educated and well-educated girl, so he doesn't care about these things."

"Okay, Chen Yuan, you kid, silently, picked up a beautiful wife for nothing. You have to invite everyone to have a drink."

Listening to the gossip, Chen Yuan looked at Shangzhi who was squatting by the pond with a little embarrassed look, and said honestly: "It hasn't been officially decided yet." He speeded up his movements, hoping to finish the work quickly and leave.

When Shang Zhi heard Tao Xiucai, he noticed the movement here. He never expected that Tao Ying would actually give Chen Yuan!

"Brother Chen, when did you say you were close?" Shang Zhi was worried that Chen Yuan would be deceived honestly. Not long ago, Liao was still looking at Xue Ning'an for Tao Ying.

Chen Yuan's bulging muscles were tense, and he said in a muffled voice: "Yesterday." He explained stutteringly, "My mother told me that she was the age of marrying a wife, and I agreed."

I didn't know whether Tao Ying was round or not or Chen Yuan, but the time He asked someone to propose marriage to Shang Zhi, which scared him.

He was afraid that he would refuse, so he would cause trouble for Shang Zhi.

Both of them made it clear that it was impossible for him and Shang Zhi to be together sooner or later. It doesn’t matter if he marrys anyone, but he can’t cause trouble for her anymore.

Shang Zhi thought that it might be because of the new house that Huang Taoying and Xue Ning'an were disturbed, and Liao family told Tao Ying again that they had a marriage.

She breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Brother Chen should get married, and Aunt He should be anxious to hold her grandson."

Chen Yuan blushed, and he smiled at Shang Zhi with a silly smile.

In one sentence, the embarrassment between the two people was broken.

The pond was not big, and the stones were built in a while. Shangzhi made a table of food and food to entertain them, and served a pound of wine.

Everyone was full of food and food, and after Shangzhi settled the money, they all dispersed.

Chen Yuan helped Shang Zhi knock a pile of stones left in the backyard into the basket and take them away.

Shang Zhi held the vegetable bowl and looked at Chen Yuan's tall figure like a mountain. His straight back was not bent by a basket of gravels, and his steps were steady. He was a good man. If he liked it, he would like it silently and would fight for it. If he had no fate, he would not be obsessed, but would only let go generously and return to his life.

Shang Zhi felt relieved, and a smile appeared on her face, which was a sincere blessing to Chen Yuan.

After collecting the goods, Shang Zhi took a meat bone and put it in a bowl in the corner of the wall to feed the little local dog, locked the door, and went directly to the Chen family.

Chen Yaozu took his nephew and niece squatted on the ground to play with slingshots. He was holding a willow fork holder in his hand, and a small stone wrapped in a beef tendon leather strip, aiming at the hen pecking in the yard. The hen was croaking, flapping its wings and flying all over the yard, falling into a mess.

Liu stood at the door of the main hall with a broom, cursing, "I said why the hen doesn't lay eggs? I was scared by you, a bastard!"

Chen Yaozu curled his lips, "I didn't lay an egg on it and shot it! Why don't I blame me if I don't lay an egg?"

"Grandma, my second uncle slinged with a slingshot when laying an egg yesterday!" Chen Erdan complained, and then asked for credit and said, "I will use a slingshot to sling him tomorrow when my second uncle shits."

Chen Yaozu was so angry that he jumped up and slapped Chen Erdan on the back of the head, "Boy, there is something fun next time, I won't take you to play with you!"

Chen Erdan pulled his index finger at the lower eyelid, his thumb curled the corner of his mouth, and he stuck out his tongue to make a face, "A little bit!"

Chen Yaozu was furious, this little brat! He rolled up his sleeves and was about to deal with Chen Erdan. He was grabbed by Liu and winked him, "Girl Shang is here, go and pour tea."

Chen Yaozu rushed into the kitchen to pour tea.

Liu was both angry and funny, "Such a big man, almost the same as a scattered monkey." He said that, but he looked doting on his face and greeted Shang Zhi, "Girl Shang, are you here to find your Uncle Chen?"

"I have something to discuss with Uncle Chen." Shang Zhi entered the house, and the head of the Chen family was looking at the letter from his daughter.

Clan Chief Chen put away the letter and "sit."

Shang Zhi sat on the turtle to explain her purpose, "Uncle Chen, there are not many fields in our village, and the villagers are barely full. You see the medicine mountain I tried to plant. It grows very well. We can grow medicinal materials in our barren mountains. I plan to call on the villagers to open barren mountains to plant medicinal materials and improve their livelihoods."

Chief Chen was silent for a long time, and he smiled bitterly: "Girl Shang, your idea is good. If the medicinal materials are grown, where can I sell them? If all of them are planted in the fields, they need to strengthen their youth, and they cannot go to work and earn money to supplement their household income. Those who farm are all dependent on the weather and eat. If the harvest is not good, the family will not be able to open the pot. If the harvest is good, there is no way to go, and they are all piled up in the warehouse, which is not as good as life today."

Shang Zhi can open this mouth, but he has a good idea. "Uncle Chen, I am not a person who speaks nonsense. If you trust me and start a mountain and grow medicine, how much you plant, how much I will collect, and the silver will be settled. If you don't have the money to buy seeds, you can advance money from me, and it must be spent on planting medicine. When the harvest is good, I will deduct the money."

Clan Chief Chen suddenly opened his eyes wide, "Girl Shang, you...you have to think about it! This is a lot of money!"

"I think it's very clear." Shang Zhi planned her career to start with Xinghua Village.

Purchase medicinal materials grown by villagers, make patent medicines such as typhoid fever, dysentery, cholera, smallpox, etc., and sell them to various pharmacies. Just like modern pharmacies, they sell patent medicines. They will indicate how to use medicines, contraindications, and side effects. If there is a drug reaction, stop taking medicine immediately and what measures should be taken.

Patients who are illiterate can take it under the doctor's instructions and explain clearly to him the precautions.

Once the drugs become popular, they can not only reduce death, but also prevent them from making fake medicines. Isn’t the idea of ​​taking her prescription satisfying Old Man Zhang’s will?

If so, the villagers should be asked to take these formulas in a targeted manner.

The medicinal materials in Zhangshu Village are enough to cope with the military camp.

Shang Zhi was full of passion, and stars shone in his clear pupils, "Uncle Chen, please believe me, I can!"

Perhaps just now, this road is very difficult and bumpy.

But with a innocent original intention, she will definitely succeed!

The persistence and seriousness in Shang Zhi's eyes shook the head of Clan Chen. He sighed and said, "The ten fingers are not upright, and the same is true for people's hearts. If you do well, think about your good deeds, and do not do well, you are a sinner. If you think about it carefully, then use your hands and feet to do it. Uncle Chen can't help you, but what he said is somewhat prestige in the village."

The smile on the corner of Shang Zhi's mouth spread to his eyes and said sincerely: "I am very grateful to Uncle Chen. You don't need anything to do. Your willingness to support and cooperate is the greatest help to me!" She pondered for a moment, "Don't deliberately ask them to plant medicine. I will not let them suffer any losses if they are willing to plant medicine. I will buy medicine, and each household will record how much it receives, and then we will deduct the money for the medicine.

She planned to grow targeted medicinal materials, so she naturally couldn't leave them to the villagers to buy them themselves. She felt more at ease when she bought them.

As soon as the matter was settled, the Chief Chen asked Chen Yaozu and Chen Yaozong to go door to door and inform him and hold a meeting in the village entrance floor.

The villagers didn't know what was happening, they all came very quickly.

Only He Liangguang and his family arrived late.

Chief Chen looked at him, then cleared his throat and said to the villagers: "The medicinal mountains grown by Shang Yatou, the medicinal materials are growing very well. She and I discussed and encouraged you to open up barren mountains to grow medicine, increase your income to your family, and improve your livelihood. You don't have to worry about not having money to buy medicine. Shang Yatou buys it for everyone, and take it directly to plant it. When the medicinal materials are mature and dig and sell it to Shang Yatou, then deduct the money for buying seeds." He looked at the villagers who were silent and listened carefully with his ears, "Stand on one side if they agree to open barren mountains to grow medicine, and those who don't want to plant it."

The villagers digested what Chief Chen said, and exploded with a "bang" and started talking.

"Cultivate medicine mountains? Do not grow grain? Can you get a harvest and fill your stomach?"

"We should not give money to the seedlings first? Shang Yatou paid in advance first? What should I do if I don't plant it? I have to owe money to the labor force!"

"Can she believe her words? All kinds of medicinal herbs really make money like this, but she doesn't wear so decent clothes!"

"Shang Yatou built a large blue brick house and bought a ox cart, and he feasted on big fish and meat every time."

A strange silence.

Most villagers were very moved. In just half a year, Shangzhi not only built a good house, but also afforded a ox cart, which was delicious and spicy.

The villagers who helped her work were full, and they were full of oil and didn't see any deductions. Although they were tiring to work for her, their wages were high and they ate well, so their neighbors were willing to do so.

If you follow her, you can afford a ox cart and have meat every meal... can you still build a house?

In everyone's mind, one-third of the villagers stood behind Shangzhi. Many of them helped Shangzhigan live. Their daughters-in-law also worked for Shangzhi in the town and trusted Shangzhi wholeheartedly.

Aunt Liu, Liu, Lin Sanniang, and Li all stood in a team and were willing to plant medicinal materials. They knew in their hearts that Shang Zhi was dedicated to everyone's good deeds. If she wanted to improve everyone's conditions, she would naturally not let her down.

Of course, there are also people who are not in the way of Shang Zhi. Wu and Xu stand by He Liangguang without moving.

"Shang Yatou, why don't you buy our land and we help you grow it, and you will calculate your wages." Some villagers think it's worth it. If they sell it in a barren mountain, they can go to Shangzhi's house to eat fish and get the wages.

Shang Zhi looked over in surprise and saw Xue Qingyun rubbing her rough hands and repeating: "I will sell you the mountain to help you plant it, and help you eat it."

Shang Zhi pondered: "You have made a decision, won't you regret it?"

"No regrets!"

"Yes! We will also sell the mountain land to you and help you plant it!" Xue Changdong, He Jimin and He Maotong decided to sell the land to Shangzhi.

Shang Zhi smiled and said, "As long as you don't regret it, I can buy land and you can plant it. However, it only takes ten days to plant medicinal materials, and you can't earn a hundred cents. Then, you won't regret it if others have a few taels of silver or even more investment?"

"Since you earn money so much, you can give me more wages." Xue Qingyun smiled flatteringly and said, "A hectare of mountains and mountains have ten taels of silver."

Seeing that they were determined to sell the mountains, she also lacked the mountains. Jia Fugui just paid her 100 taels of silver, so he took a pen, ink, paper and inkstone and wrote a covenant, which was written in two copies, and a total of four copies were written.

"If you are willing to sell, sign and put your handprints."

Shang Zhi agreed readily, and the others began to hesitate again, was the price shouting lower?
