Chapter 775: Chapter 776: Unimpressive_1 Chapter 775: Chapter 776: Unimpressive_1 Yun Hai looked into the distance, this year was going to be hotter than last year, “This is our only option now.”
Now, people in the town could buy and sell.
But few were running their own businesses.
Not many people were willing to put aside their dignity to become small business owners.
Some even felt that it was disgraceful.
Because in this era, if you became a small business owner, some people would think you were not focusing on your main job.
Yun Hai and Yun Lei were distressed about this.
Zhang Jiang and Yun Men also bore worried expressions, “Without rain, the fields are going to dry up. What are we going to do this year?” Get full chapters from 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵•𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮•𝓷𝓮𝓽
They had toiled for months on their ten acres of farmland, bending over until their backs hurt. Seeing the seedlings grow was a delight every day, regardless of the weather, they would take a stroll in the field. But recently, as the weather was getting hotter and hotter, they saw the water level in the field gradually decreasing, and they started to worry.
“Didn’t mom and dad tell us earlier? We live off the whim of nature. So what can we do now? We can only pray for the heavens to let it rain.” Yun Men had thought this year would be a bumper year, but as the dry spell prolonged and it was only half a month to the rice ripening period, the impending drought was a real concern now. How was this good?
Zhang Jiang was also worried, not knowing what to do.
Yun Men comforted him, “The crop seeds given by my sister-in-law are relatively drought-resistant. Look at everyone else’s crops, their crops are already wilting.” All thoroughly parched from the intense heat.
Seeing his wife consoling him with positives, what could Zhang Jiang say?
If a famine occurred this year, it would be because he hadn’t planned properly.
“Xiaomen, if there is really a famine, I could go to town and sell something, do some business.” What else could he do?
Zhang Jiang really did not want to do business.
“Let’s think about that when the time comes!” Yun Men looked skyward, watching their children playing on the ground, hoping for better days for them.
But the heavens weren’t so kind, were they?
Zhang Cuihua and Zhao Fang were also paying attention to the rainfall situation.
Looking at their rice crops, they were far worse than the crops in their in-law’s fields.
Yun’s parents were surprised when their two daughters-in-law turned up unannounced.
It wasn’t a festival or New Year’s, there was usually no reason for them to visit.
“Mom, Dad…” Both women called out in unison.
They knew something was up when they showed up.
“Go ahead, what’s the matter?”
Seeing Yun’s father being so straightforward, Zhao Fang didn’t beat around the bush either, “Dad, did the crop seeds come from sister-in-law in her parcel?”
Yun’s father looked at Zhao Fang, “No.”
Zhang Cuihua saw her father-in-law denying it, “Then why do our seedlings look different from yours?”
Yun’s father found it amusing.
Yun’s mother immediately frowned and asked, “Did you let your men know about this visit?”
Zhao Fang and Zhang Cuihua shared a glance, not understanding why their mother-in-law would say such a thing.
“It matters how much you each sow. We sowed more as we have the landlord to serve. If you didn’t serve him well, of course it would be different.”
Yun’s father looked at them with contempt, “The landlord’s crops are growing differently, so you come to us?”
This was clearly a waste of time.
For this matter, they came to them?
Yun’s mother’s expression turned severe, “If you want to blame someone, blame your own laziness, who else can you blame?”
Zhao Fang’s expression hardened, “Mom and Dad, don’t forget, if the harvest is not good, where will we get the grain to give you?”
Yun’s father’s expression soured further, “You can try not to give, and see what happens. I’ll sue you and you’ll still have to give us a living allowance. It won’t be us who is embarrassed.”
