Leisurely Farmer's Family: A Strong Man and His Broken Leg Son-in-law

"I just don't know what to do." Liu Yu moved a small bench and sat next to Grandpa, a little confused.

"Then what are you good at?"

"skilled?"

"Look, I can weave various bamboo baskets, dustpans and brooms. I make money with this skill. Our village chief's Wan Rui knows a few Chinese calligraphy. In previous years, he would write couplets and sell them in the town. This is all It’s the way to make money, exchange what you’re good at into money, whatever you do best.”

Liu Fusheng spoke slowly and calmly.

Liu Yu lowered her head and thought quietly, what is she good at!

The eldest girl in the village, the young daughter-in-law, her brother-in-law, and her husband are so skillful that they can even embroider a handkerchief and bring it to the town to exchange for money, but the female celebrity herself doesn't know how to do it, so there is no need to think about this.

There are good cooks in the village. During the Chinese New Year, they can help others with their cooking skills and earn dozens of dollars and a few bowls of meat and vegetables. However, my own cooking skills are not outstanding and I don’t seem to be competitive.

It seems that what makes him different from ordinary people is his strength. When he goes to work in the fields, the villagers will praise him for how neatly he wraps his pit, digs deep into the river mud, and cultivates a land that is more fertile than that of a strong laborer.

Do you want to set up a trap for others?

Farmers rarely hire people to work. How can he convert this energy into money?

Liu Yu was puzzled.

He didn't want to bother his grandpa with this, because he knew that he would definitely not agree to do hard work.

Liu Yu was still thinking about this issue until she took care of Changsheng and went to sleep.

Across the hall, the grandpa and grandma were cursing something, and Liu Yu was not interested in listening.

Early on the next morning, Liu Yu gave Changsheng the medicine prepared by Nian, helped Changsheng wash and tidy up, and then went to the fields with the shovel.

They are located in the north, and most of the crops grown at the moment are wheat. It is already mid-September, and the cold can already be felt in the morning.

Liu Yu walked all the way along the river to her property. Dew fell in the night, and her shoes and trouser legs got wet along the way.

The family has a total of ten acres of farmland. They pay a poll tax every year, sell part of the remaining grain, and keep some for their own consumption. There are only three people in Liu Yu's family. If the weather is good, the grain of these ten acres of land is enough for the family.

These fields can be said to be the foundation for their livelihood, and Liu Yu and Liu Fusheng take care of them very carefully.

Seeing that the wheat in the field was growing well, Liu Yu's heart felt a little relieved. He went down to the riverside, stood by the river, and started digging the river mud to the river ridge with shovel after shovel.

According to the established rules, the fields by the river and the river ridge facing the fields are also owned by the landowners.

What farmers live by is careful planning, and every bit of land is a treasure. At this time, every household is covering the river bank.

One is to increase the fertility of the river ridge, and the other is that heavy rains in summer will always wash down some soil. Over time, the soil on the river ridge will slip. If there is a flood next year, half of the crops on the river ridge will be soaked in water. .

Wrap the bottom of the river ridge high, or transplant it with rapeseed, or light broad beans, and you will always have something to harvest during the Dragon Boat Festival next year.

Liu Yu is very strong. He can dig five shovels with the same effort as others. He thrust the shovel down and with one kick of his foot, the whole shovel can be submerged into the soil. He presses hard with his hand and throws it again, and a large piece of it is wet. The soil fell to the bottom of the river ridge.

When the sun came out, Liu Yu had already covered most of it, and after working non-stop for two quarters of an hour, the river ridge of the three-acre land was completely covered.

At this time, the warmth brought by the sun could be clearly felt. Working so non-stop, a thin layer of sweat broke out on Liu Yu's forehead.

He washed his hands in the river water. Seeing that there was no one in the field at the moment, Liu Yu quickly took off his shoes, rolled up his trouser legs, and walked into the shallow water.

The cool river water excited Liu Yu. After he got used to it, he began to throw the underwater mud onto the river ridge.

"Hey! You really think of yourself as a man. It's really indecent to expose your legs in broad daylight!"

Liu Yu is working hard! Hearing a sharp voice, he looked up and saw that it was He Dayong's mother-in-law, Mrs. Ren, and couldn't help but shudder.

"Aunt He, who are you talking about?"

"I'm talking about whoever is shameless. Some people are really unlucky. They have to pay for a coffin when buying a person to take home. Why don't they work hard with bare feet?"

At this moment, Liu Yu was in the water and could not easily hit her. Ren's tone became more and more contemptuous.

"Snapped!"

Liu Yu fished out a piece of mud from the water and threw it towards Ren's face.

"You dare to hit me. It's outrageous. You are worthy of beating me even if you are a mother-in-law." Mrs. Ren wiped off the mud on her forehead and scolded Liu Yu inwardly.

"Snapped!"

"Snapped!"

"Snapped!"

Several balls of mud rushed towards Ren's face. Ren dodged left and right. She was so embarrassed that the clothes she was wearing were stained with mud.

"You, wait." When Ren saw Liu Yu coming out of the water, her expression changed, she said a harsh word, and ran away.

"Tch, I thought I was so powerful. If ten of them came to me, I would be beaten and climbed down." Liu Yu, who was disturbed by Ren, was not in the mood to throw away the mud in the river, so she simply put on her shoes and socks and went home.

"Yes, it's pitiful to have a long life. I don't know how long it can last. The Liu family is also unlucky. If they buy such a dying person back, they may have to build a coffin."

"It's not as serious as you said. Today I saw Mr. Zhao going to the Liu family's old house early in the morning."

"Maybe it's just bad. That's why Mr. Zhao went there so frequently. Now the Liu family can't even get the money to replenish Changsheng's health. Changsheng is just procrastinating!"

"Don't dare to talk nonsense. If Brother Yu hears us orchestrating him behind our back, there will definitely be another trouble."

"This is what Brother Yu said. I also witnessed the Liu family emptying out their money. Yesterday Brother Yu went to the market to buy some health supplies for Changsheng. Guess what he bought was a piece of lard board and two dog sticks. What can I do to make up for the bones that I can’t even chew on!”

"People in the village say behind my back that I am stingy and are reluctant to feed my Dasha. Every time my Dasha comes back from working at the dock, I boil a few eggs for her."

Mrs. Wang felt quite unsatisfied. How could these girls not be afraid of her face when they were arranging things in front of her and behind her back? Now when it came to Liu Yu being afraid of mice, she insisted on saying it.

"Quickly throw it down. If you boil five eggs, four of them can go into your own stomach. The only one left is your Li Peng's. Dasha will just chew the egg shells when he gets home!"

After living in a village for more than ten years, no one knows who.

Mrs. Wang was ridiculed by several people, and she looked a little confused. Just as she was about to retort, she heard a soft cough coming from outside the bamboo forest.

As soon as he walked into the bamboo forest path into the village, Liu Yu heard the women and husbands in the village arranging themselves. Liu Yu was not angry at all. She stood by the bamboo forest and listened quietly to their sometimes disbelieving and sometimes regretful discussions.

Among them, Mrs. Wang, the loud-mouthed one, talks the most. Even without seeing her big mouth, just by listening to her voice, Liu Yu can tell how colorful her face is.

"Cough...cough..."

"Who is it!" The woman and husband who were digging autumn bamboo shoots in the bamboo forest were startled when they heard the cough. Sure enough, they couldn't gossip about people behind their backs, so they felt guilty.

"Aunts and uncles are digging autumn bamboo shoots, and there are a lot of them."

Liu Yu saw that the women and husbands digging bamboo shoots were all well-known capable people in the village, so he deliberately started a conversation, hoping to inspire his money-making plan.
