Female Supreme: I have loved you for thousands of years

Chapter 121: I Will Come for You All My Life (117)

Luo Shu originally planned to ask the village chief to find the six families to discuss their ideas, but she had heard the letter and found the village chief and asked him to bring them to the He family.

"Xiao Luo, they want to ask, can we use a donkey?"

Luo Shu paused before speaking: "It should be possible, but if a donkey pulls it, it may be slower. After all, donkeys are not as obedient as cows." But a donkey will not do something if it says it doesn't want to.

"I understand, but it's a bit expensive to buy a cow. I happen to have a donkey at home, which I usually use to grind the mill."

The person who was speaking was Liu Xi, who sold tofu in the village. Her family had a business, but it was too big for them. She supported the elderly in both her and her husband's families, and she had six children, seven to be exact, and one was still in her husband's belly, so she had to be very careful with her money.

Luo Shu expressed his understanding: "How about this, I will lend it to you for a day, you can try to pull it with the donkey, if the effect is not good, you can choose to rent it directly."

After Luo Shu finished speaking, he glanced at the others and said, "What about you? What do you think?"

Of the other five people, four said they would still rent, and one said they would buy.

After listening to their ideas, Luo Shu agreed and signed a contract with them.

If you want to purchase, you should sign a purchase contract; if you want to lease, you should sign a lease contract.

The village chief also booked one from her in advance, so she made another one.

A total of 5 plow trucks were also arranged.

Although Futian Village is not a big village, it has about sixty or seventy households, and five plow trucks are obviously not enough.

So many people asked her to make a few more so that they could pull the trucks themselves.

Luo Shu had thought about this situation before, but she initially thought about saving time and effort, so she just passed it.

It now seems that most people in the village can afford the money for a plow truck, but cannot afford the money for a plow truck and oxen.

The reason why cattle are expensive here today is not because of their use value, but because of their small quantity.

So, she and He's mother worked together to make five more plows, so there were ten plows in total, an average of one plow for every six or seven households.

Some of them chose to rent a plow truck and pull it themselves, some directly rented a complete set of equipment from two families in the village who had cows, and some directly bought a plow truck and pulled it themselves or rented someone else's ox cart. In short, this summer, because of the plow truck, they worked faster and more comfortably than in previous years.

Seeing that the work in the fields was basically done and Xiaoxiao was almost two years old, Luo Shu went to talk to He's father and mother.

"Mother-in-law, father-in-law, what do you think about the trip to Kyoto that I told you about before?"

Seeing that they were silent, Luo Shu spoke again: "How about this, I'll tell you my plan and you guys decide, okay?"

When she told them before, she hadn't figured out what to do, but now she has figured out what to do, so she still wants the family to be together, and she can see that Aqing has deep feelings for them.

He's mother and the others agreed, and Luo Shu told them his plan.

"I have already made plans. When we get to Kyoto, we will buy a house with two entrances and exits. He Qing is good at embroidery, so she can do it independently, and my father-in-law can also help. Then we can sell handkerchiefs, clothes, etc. We will only accept custom orders, so it won't be too tiring for He Qing.

Mother-in-law, your carpentry skills are so good, you will definitely be more popular in Kyoto.

As for me, I have already thought about what to do. You will know when the time comes. I can’t explain it clearly in a few words now. Anyway, our family will get better and better.

But if only Aqing and I go, we will definitely not leave Xiaoxiao and you behind. If we take Xiaoxiao with us, I dare say that Aqing and Xiaoxiao will cry missing you before we can even reach Kyoto.

Although Kyoto is not far from Futian Village, it is still half a month or a month away. Do you have the heart to let Qing and Xiao laugh their hearts out?"

He Hua glanced at her husband who was already sad, then glanced at Luo Shu. This son-in-law only knew how to play the emotional card: "Okay, okay, we'll go with you.

But what about our land?"

Luo Shu smiled and said, "Don't worry, mother-in-law. I plan to let the village chief and others help us look after it. From now on, the planting and harvesting will be left to them. Of course, they will be paid a certain amount of money."

When He Hua heard this, she thought that her son-in-law was quite reliable, and it would be the best thing to hand over the land to the village chief. Besides, her family was already on good terms with the village chief, and she had recently discovered that the relationship between her son-in-law and the village chief was getting better and better. There was nothing to worry about.

Seeing that they agreed, Luo Shu planned to visit the village chief's house with gifts another day to ask for their opinion.

The next day, she and He's mother brought two jars of fine wine, two chickens and some other gifts to the door.

Luo Shu arrived at the village chief's house, but the village chief was not there, so he sat there waiting for a while.

The village chief's husband is also a very gentle man, except when he is caught drinking secretly.

Of course, as the village chief's husband, he also knew that he should save face for the village chief and would never get angry with him.

As soon as he saw the He family coming with gifts and wine, he knew that they were going to discuss business today and drinking was inevitable, so he had to prepare the hangover soup in advance.

The village head's husband brought them some water and said, "I've asked Xing'er to go find her. You guys drink some water first and wait."

"Okay, thank you Mr. Tian for your help." Luo Shu and He Hua both picked up their cups and took two sips before putting them down.

Soon the village chief came back led by his granddaughter He Xing.

The village chief smelled the aroma of wine the moment he entered the room, and his eyes immediately looked over there.

When the village chief's husband saw his wife's worthless appearance, he wished he could grab her ears and ask her to behave herself.

"Wife, the old He family is here to talk to you today, so come over quickly."

The village chief pretended to cough twice after being reminded by his husband, then sat up straight and said, "Lao He and Xiao Luo, what is the matter with you coughing today? If you have anything, just tell me, I will definitely take care of it for you."

"It's like this, we plan to go to Kyoto soon, but the fields at home can't be managed by everyone. After thinking about it, the village chief is the person we trust the most, so we want to let the village chief take care of the fields at home.

Of course we will pay you, what do you think, Village Chief?"

The village chief was a little surprised: "You are going to Kyoto?"

Luo Shu nodded: "Yes, I just happened to know a friend in Kyoto, and she asked me to go there to do business together. But if I go alone, my family is worried, so I decided to go with my family."

The village chief nodded repeatedly after hearing this: "Not bad, not bad, Xiao Luo, I've long seen that you have a promising future. Don't worry about your family's fields, I will definitely take good care of them for you."

Luo Shu raised his glass to the village chief: "Then I'll trouble you, village chief."

The village chief took a big sip of wine with care and said, "No problem, it's my duty. But no need to ask for compensation, your new farm tools have brought immeasurable benefits to our village."

"You are too kind, village chief. These are all my responsibilities. By the way, after I leave, the unsold plows and stone tools will be managed by the village chief.

The harvest from the fields belongs to you, as does the income from the farm tools. Can I give you another 20 taels in the last year?"

The village chief no longer cared about drinking and his pupils dilated slightly.

The harvest from the farmland belongs to him, which is equivalent to renting the land to her for free. The income from the farm tools also belongs to her, which is already an income. He actually gives her another 20 taels every year? !

20 taels is not a small amount of money. Besides, these tasks do not need to be taken care of every day. Even if she is not paid, she still has to work hard for the villagers as the village chief.

Thinking of this, the village chief waved his hand and said, "No need for the 20 taels. Your money didn't come from the wind. I only have the income from farm tools."

Seeing her stern refusal, Luo Shu suddenly had an idea and raised his lips slightly: "Since the village chief insists on not accepting it, I won't refuse you. But..."

The village chief looked at her in confusion?

Luo Shu whispered a few words in her ear, and when she understood, his eyes lit up and he gave her a thumbs up.
