Pig Killer

Chapter 105

"That's good." Shen Hui'e nodded with a smile, raised her eyebrows and looked at him and said, "Aren't you afraid that they will cook the books?"

"This is definitely unavoidable. As long as they offer us something suitable, we can only turn a blind eye." Shen Changsheng looked at her calmly and said.

"This is human nature and it is unavoidable." Shen Hui'e looked at him indifferently and said.

"It's fine as long as it meets our expectations." Shen Changsheng looked at her with his clear and penetrating eyes and said, "I dare not think of more. After all, I am not a noble and have no power or influence."

"He who is content is always happy." Shen Hui'e looked at him calmly and said, "If they want to take it by force, we have no ability to resist at all."

"That's right." Shen Changsheng looked at her calmly and said, "It's not easy to farm well and have enough food and drink."

"Let's lay a solid foundation, train them well, and let them earn it." Shen Hui'e said to the children with her bright eyes.

"We?" The big tiger pointed at himself and said.

"That's right!" Shen Hui'e looked at them with her deep and penetrating eyes and said, "Human energy is limited after all, and life has its own length. It's rare for a person to live to be seventy."

The tiger nervously grasped her arm and said, "Aniang will live a long life."

Shen Hui'e looked at them with eyes as gentle as jade and said, "It's hard to predict what will happen in this world! You can't just think it will happen." She looked at him with curved eyebrows and said, "Besides, when people get old, their bodies won't be as agile as they are now. If you live too long, people will hate you." She joked, "People will call you old man."

"Haha..." Shen Changsheng shook his head and laughed, "That's right!"

"Mother, uncle! What nonsense are you talking about?" Da Chong said to them with a stern little face.

"Truthfully!" Shen Hui'e stretched out her hand and rubbed his anxious head and said, "There are many unfilial children and grandchildren, the difference is whether the bad luck will fall on their heads." She added calmly, "Otherwise why does the court promote filial piety? It is because of something it lacks. That's why it promotes it. If everyone is filial, is there any need to promote it?"

Shen Changsheng opened and closed his mouth when he heard this, unable to refute.

"When you were little, we were the big trees, providing you with shelter from the wind and rain and holding up the sky. When you grow up and we are old, you must also work hard to grow into towering trees." Shen Hui'e said to them with eyes as gentle as jade.

"I will work hard to grow up." The big insect patted his chest and said.

"Little fool, it's not good to grow up." Shen Hui'e looked at him with deep and clear eyes and said, "There will be many troubles."

"As my mother said, find the problem and solve it!" The raccoon looked at her with innocent eyes and said, "Just solve the troubles."

"Haha..." Shen Hui'e looked at her tenderly and said, "You're right!"

"I don't want this to spread!" Shen Hui'e said, pointing at the bamboo dragonfly on the meat stall.

"You'll learn it after just one look." Shen Changsheng looked at her with his dark eyes and said, "Let's not join in the fun. It will be passed on soon." He smiled and said, "On my way back, I saw that the seedlings in the field were growing well, but the weeds have also appeared."

"Weeding?" Shen Hui'e's mouth twitched when she heard that. Going to the fields? She shuddered in her heart.

Although the countryside is beautiful, it’s enough to just take a look at it. Let yourself face the earth and work hard for the rest of your life. You don’t want to think about this... or that...

"Yes! If we don't get rid of this grass, it will affect the growth of the seedlings, and now it will affect the harvest." Shen Changsheng pinched his hands and smiled, "We must get rid of it." Looking at her frowning face, he said with a smile, "It's much easier than plowing the land. Just use a hoe to get rid of it, or pull it out by hand."

"After this day I feel like my waist isn't my own." Shen Hui'e said, pressing her index finger on her throbbing temple.

"Haha..." Shen Changsheng shook his head and chuckled, "It's not bad now. In the past, the grain we harvested from the land was given to the nobles. We couldn't eat enough all year round. Now this land is distributed to us, and the rest of the harvest is ours except for the tax. The more we plant, the more we harvest."

"I know, but manual labor is too tiring." Shen Hui'e said with a sad face.

"This is how farming is done!" Shen Changsheng said, looking at her with his dark eyes.

"It's okay, I'm fine." Shen Hui'e shook her head slightly. Why is she being so hypocritical? Others did it, so why can't she do it?

"Can we avoid noon?" Shen Hui'e pursed her lips and looked at him.

"It's not that hot now!" Shen Changsheng looked up at the bright sunshine and said.

"I'm afraid of getting tanned." Shen Hui'e said hypocritically, "A white complexion can hide three kinds of ugliness."

"Haha..." Shen Changsheng looked at her in surprise and said, "Okay, why not? It's your own land, you decide for yourself. It's okay to stay there for two or three days at night." He smiled and said, "Women love beauty! My sister is very beautiful."

"I like to hear that." Shen Hui'e said with a smile, "Weeding, right? Strangle them to death." She said angrily, "How come the weeds grow better than the seedlings?"

"I had the same doubt when I was little, and I was very angry." Shen Changsheng said with a dark face, "How could weeds grow better than seedlings? Later on! It's no use getting angry, just bend over and weed!"

"Haha..." Shen Hui'e shook her head and chuckled, "If it rains, it will be easier to pull out the weeds."

"Yeah!" Shen Changsheng nodded vigorously. "When I was in the county, it rained, but not heavily."

"It hasn't rained here since you left." Shen Hui'e looked at him with her clear eyes and said, "It was cloudy for a few days, but there wasn't even a drop of rain."

"What good things have you made in the past twenty days since I was away?" Shen Changsheng looked at her curiously and asked.

"Go to your brother-in-law's blacksmith shop." Shen Hui'e looked at him mysteriously and said, "Let your brother-in-law tell you! It's definitely good stuff, and it will help him with his blacksmithing."

"Okay!" Shen Changsheng glanced at the stone mill in the kitchen and said, "When will you grind these beans? I must taste them to see if they are as good as you said."

"Who knows? Maybe it's not satisfactory!" Shen Hui'e said vaguely.

"It can't be bad. It's made of beans, how bad can it be!" Shen Changsheng comforted her after hearing this, and stood up and said, "Okay, I won't go to the county governor in the near future. We can talk about it later." Looking at his nephew and niece, he said, "Come on! Follow me to get some delicious food. This time I came back and bought you maltose, snacks, and the honey that your mother always wanted."

"Uncle, we have honey, and mother also made braised pork." Da Chong said while sucking his saliva.

"You...you...really went to the forest to get honey." Shen Changsheng looked at her with a stern face and said, "Why are you so disobedient?"

"No, no, Da Chong's uncle wrapped his clothes from head to toe, and I was stopped from going." Shen Hui'e said quickly.
