Chapter 21

“Sister Su, tell Aunt Niu the truth, is it that the Fu family is unwilling to give your mother a single piece of land? If so, Aunt Niu will take you to seek justice. How can people be like this?” Aunt Niu said angrily with a stern face.

Now Su He’s image in her mind has completely changed, especially the last time Su He was bullied by Mrs. Liu.

Although others said that Su He was very fierce, Aunt Niu felt that the villagers really bullied Su He’s mother just because there was no man in her family. They were really inhumane.

Aunt Niu has this kind of personality. She is very loyal to the people she likes.

“Aunt Niu, that’s really not the case. You misunderstood. I asked my parents-in-law for the piece of land next to yours, but that piece of land is a bit too small. I wanted to use your land as well to plant what I want.” Su He hurriedly explained.

“Ah? So what do you want to plant? You need such a large piece of land.”

The land of the two families together occupied most of the hillside.

“I want to grow fire durian, and when the fruits are ripe, I will sell them in the city. You also know that my husband is not at home now and cannot be contacted. The three of us have to make a living.”

Su He did seem to be playing the victim, but what she said was also true.

Alas, although she now has more than 10,000 points in her space, she cannot spend them in reality. How can she succeed without finding a way to make money?

She wanted to exchange the things in the space and sell them, but after all, they were not from this world and there was no source of supply, so she was still a little afraid of being caught and studied.

But you can sell a little, but not too much. I will consider this matter after I finish planting durian.

Anyway, she would never admit that she had to plant it because she wanted to eat durian.

“Okay, I can’t make the decision about that piece of land on my own. I’ll go back and discuss it with my family.” Aunt Niu hesitated for a long time, but still didn’t agree immediately.

“Aunt Niu, let me tell you about my rent first. For that piece of land, I will give you 80 yuan a year in rent. Go back and discuss it with your family. Can they accept this price?” Su He directly stated the rent she was going to pay.

“Eighty yuan?” Aunt Niu widened her eyes in surprise.

Eighty yuan, some families may not earn that much in a year.

When people go to work on construction sites, they basically only earn one or two dollars a day. Labor is still very cheap nowadays, and there is not work on construction sites every day.

Su He rented such a piece of land, but he just gave their family eighty yuan?

“Sister, the rent is a bit too much.”

Although Aunt Niu was tempted, she still followed her conscience and didn’t want to pay so much rent.

Su He certainly knew that renting a piece of land for 80 yuan a year was too much in that era.

But she was attracted to Aunt Niu and really wanted to make friends with her.

So she didn’t want Aunt Niu’s family to suffer any loss. On the contrary, she wanted Aunt Niu to make some money.

She was confident that she and the Fu family could make money from the durian business, but she couldn’t get Aunt Niu to join in the business, so she could only make some money from the rent.

“It’s okay, I can afford it. So you go back and discuss with your family to see if you can rent it to me. But one thing is that I can only pay you the rent after three months. You also know that I don’t have that much money on hand right now.” Su He said with a smile.

Aunt Niu came in leisurely, but seemed to be in a hurry when she left.

There is no other way. It’s such a huge sum of money. Although it is only given that much a year, it is still a considerable income at home.

After he could no longer see Aunt Niu, Zizi asked Su He, “Mom, does our family have so much money?”

The family has been feeling weird lately, as Mom always has endless fresh food.

Although the two kids are still young, they are not stupid.

“Yes, it’s what dad left for us.” Su He squatted down, looked at Zizi at eye level and said.

“Did Dad leave so many things for us?” Niu Niu also interrupted.

“Yes, your father is so powerful, don’t you know?” Su He said with a smile.

“I know, I like daddy more than mommy.” Niu Niu said excitedly.

Seeing that he had fooled the two kids, Su He couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

She really didn’t know how to explain this to a child.

After dinner, Su He took his two children to the fields to catch eels.

Nowadays, no one in the countryside likes to eat this thing, but Su He thinks that eels are delicious and nutritious.

Catch a few eels and make some eel porridge, fried eels, or stir-fried eels. Just thinking about it makes me drool.

“Mom, there’s one here!” Zizi said excitedly.

Su He was quick-eyed and quick-handed. He reached out and pulled the eel out.

“Mom, this eel looks like a snake.” Niu Niu moved away from Su He with a little fear.

“Hahaha, don’t be afraid. Eels are different from snakes. Snakes are poisonous when they bite people, but eels don’t bite people and they are not poisonous either.”

Su He said as he threw the eel into the bucket.

“Look for it soon. Mom will cook eel porridge for you tomorrow.” As soon as Su He finished speaking, the two children became more active.

“Mom, here, here.” The cub grabbed the tail of a yellow eel, but because he didn’t have enough strength, the eel tried hard to burrow into the soil, and he was about to lose the hold.

Su He rushed over, dug up the soil in the field, and successfully pulled the eel out.

“Good, kid, you’re great.” Su He was generous with his praise.

Seeing this, Niu Niu stopped playing and started looking for eels seriously.

But maybe she was really unlucky or too afraid of eels, she went home without catching a single eel.

Seeing that Niu Niu looked very lost, Su He immediately hugged Niu Niu into her arms and said, “Niu Niu is already great. Next time when we go up the mountain to find something, mom will have to rely on Niu Niu.”

Hearing this, Niu Niu immediately cheered up and said, “Mom, when will we go to the mountain to find something again?”

“We have to plant the land in the backyard these two days. Do you think the vegetables at Grandma Niu’s house are delicious?” Su He asked.

“It’s delicious.” Niu Niu answered without hesitation.

“Yes, it’s delicious. We’ll grow some at home. If you two want to eat some, just go to the backyard and pick whatever you want.”

Su He said it so beautifully that it immediately aroused the enthusiasm of the two children.

In this day and age, what is more important than food?

So early the next morning, the two kids woke up earlier than Su He.

When I went out, I saw that they were already weeding in the vegetable garden in the backyard.

“My dears, we haven’t had breakfast yet.” Su He said helplessly.

“Mom, just call us after you finish eating.” Niu Niu replied immediately.

It’s a good thing that the children are diligent. Su He didn’t care about them and went to make breakfast.

After breakfast, Su He went to the vegetable garden to turn the soil.

This patch of vegetables is not very big. Su He estimates that he can turn it over this afternoon and plant the vegetables tomorrow.
