My Husband and I Brought Hundreds of Millions of Supplies to Farm Chapter 185 Seedling

185 Chapter 185 Seedling

“Alright, remember to call me if you need anything.” Zhou Ying told them. She turned around and took a pot of coals back to the main room.

The night pa.s.sed peacefully. The next morning, everyone got up and went to do their own thing.

After breakfast, when Sun Hongliang and the others came to work, everyone discovered that the officers had investigated the entire night and caught a small group of human traffickers in a yard in town early in the morning.

They also heard that several villages had reported that someone had stolen food from their village.

Therefore, the entire town was in a mess now; officers and soldiers searched everywhere.

As a result, business was low throughout the day. During the inspection in the morning, they treated two soldiers to a meal. Fortunately, the soldiers were tight on time and only had a bowl of beef noodles each before they left.

In the evening, when Zhou Ying and the other three went back on the donkey cart, they learned from Qian Zhuang and Gu Hanjiang that every village was guarding strictly against strangers.

If it weren’t for the fact that they were used to wandering around this area, they wouldn’t be able to enter the village, let alone collect vegetables.

“Miss,” Qian Zhuang said after he finished complaining, “The vegetables in each village are almost all harvested, and it won’t be easy to buy more of them in the future.”

“I see, but I guess it’s normal since there’s a food shortage. You guys should go to the different villages and look since we can’t do business if we don’t have produce.”

“We will try that then. I just don’t know if they’ll sell it to us.”

“You can ask around. You can tell me if you find any, but they aren’t willing to sell. I can talk to them about it.”

“Alright, leave this to us brothers.” When Qian Zhuang heard that he only needed to ask for information, he immediately patted his chest.

“Yes. By the way, starting next month, you will each be paid 500 coppers.”

“Really? Thank you so much, miss.” Gu Erjiang said with a smile.

“As long as you guys work hard, your salary will rise.”

“Definitely, definitely, we’ll definitely do a good job.” The two of them nodded.

It was challenging to get a long-term job in their village. Another main thing was that this work was easy and comfortable, so they didn’t want to give up.

Half a month later, the river was opened for business. Once the merchants arrived, the dock became lively, and of course, the business of all restaurants got better.

At the same time, the land wasn’t frozen solid anymore. Because of Gu Chengrui’s previous talk about growing chili, buying up barren land in the village became particularly popular. The Gu family alone bought five acres of it.

When Zhou Ying saw this, she had to hurry up and water the land in her backyard. She found a plow and plowed about 80% of the land in the back. She also bought a tarp to build a simple, warm shed to grow chili seedlings.

At the same time, she had planted ten acres of chili seedlings on the manor’s gra.s.sland.

Of course, the dormitories she had promised Uncle Yan and the others had already started construction, all of which were made of real bricks. As a result, twelve long-term workers brought their wives and children to the manor to settle down.

When the villagers learned that Zhou Ying had begun to grow seedlings, they began to speed up plowing their newly bought land.

Chunhong could finally go out after an entire month of rest.

After a month of patient advice from Widow Hua, in addition to the fact that the Gu brothers had avoided her like the plague when she was in trouble…

And later, she was also met with Gu Zishan’s indifference, which made Chunhong understand the reality of her situation.

Even if she didn’t mind being married into the Gu family, who were sinners in the capital, the Gu family wouldn’t accept her. Thus, she gave up on the idea of entering the Gu family.

Widow Hua went to the vegetable garden one day to do some gardening while Chunhong had nothing to do. So, she thought of going to town to pick up some handiwork.

Just as she left the embroidery workshop after taking a job, she was knocked out by a drug when pa.s.sing by an alleyway. She was stuffed into a carriage and brought to a small courtyard.
