Dressed as an old woman, I carry the system and my son to escape the famine

Shen Bei stood blankly in front of the window holding firewood. The sound of conversations in the room made him stunned. He didn't know how to react for a moment.

He never expected that everyone would intercede for him.

In the past, the Shen brothers and sisters only cared about themselves and never cared about others, so he could do those things without any burden.

But now, he felt a rare sense of guilt.

Although he was conscientiously doing the punishment arranged by Yao Shu, he didn't feel that he was wrong at all.

It's just that people have to bow their heads under the eaves.

He pricked up his ears and paid attention to the conversation. How would Yao Shu respond? Will everyone's pleas be useful?

"Since you have said so, I will give him a chance. If he really knows that he is wrong, this matter will be forgotten."

"Mom, don't worry, the third child must have realized his mistake."

Shen Qiu replied very confidently. The third child was so smart that he must know how to answer, and the matter was over.

While talking to everyone, Yao Shu kept her attention outside the window. She didn't look back until the figure outside the window left.

Later, she went to talk to Shen Bei, and things went as she expected. The other party simply admitted his mistake, returned to his usual playful smile, and even asked Yao Shu for information like a baby.

"Mom, you said before that you could make more money with drawings. How do you do this?"

He still didn't quite believe it. In his opinion, fifty taels was already a very large amount of money.

He had specifically inquired about it, and an ancestral secret recipe was sold for only ten taels of silver.

But it goes without saying that Yao Shu was very smart and would not lie to him about this kind of thing.

"You will know when the time comes. If you are really interested, you can help me do more work then."

"Okay, if you need anything, just ask me."

Regarding business matters, he is happy to help with errands.

Seeing the energetic Shen Bei, Yao Shu felt very sad.

She won't make any mistakes this time. Shen Bei is really showing signs of making progress, and as expected, he still has to choose the areas that interest him to teach him.

The atmosphere in the Shen family finally returned to normal. The family was lively and cheerful, and laughter could be heard from time to time.

On New Year's Eve, the Shen family's New Year's Eve dinner was also very sumptuous, including chicken, duck, and fish. Everyone's mouths were full of food and the smiles on their faces could not be more real.

New Year's Eve comes after New Year's Eve. On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Yao Shu became a money-distributing boy and gave New Year's money to everyone in his family.

People in the village also visit each other to pay New Year greetings, and the Shen family is especially lively, with many people visiting.

Everyone came to wish Yao Shu the New Year from the bottom of their hearts.

They didn’t come empty-handed, they all brought the few good things they had at home.

After the excitement at the beginning of the year, everyone in Dahe Village was still very relaxed. They really had nothing to do.

They don't have much property in Zhangzhou City. They only have newly built houses and no fields, so they have nothing to do.

Everyone also went to the city to find jobs, but after constant attempts, they gave up. It was too difficult to find suitable jobs.

Under the big banyan tree in the village, everyone sat together and talked about homely matters.

Even though they seemed very leisurely, they were not happy at all.

They are all worried, fearing that one day they will starve to death if they just sit there and eat nothing.

"You guys are telling me if there will be any need for farmers in the surrounding villages when spring comes. We are all old farmers and we can definitely do a good job."

"It's really hard to say, their life is just like this."

"If it were you, would you be willing to spend money to let others help you farm? In the end, you would just bite the bullet and do it yourself."

"Hey, wasn't I just thinking about finding a job..."

While everyone was discussing this matter, Shen Nanshan suddenly stood up, patted his clothes, and looked like he was preparing to leave.

This made everyone feel strange. After all, it was still early, and they had never dispersed so quickly before. Someone immediately tried to persuade Shen Nanshan to stay.

"Brother Shan, are you ready to go back now? It's still early, let's chat for a while."

"That's right, there's nothing wrong with you now. My sister-in-law won't blame you."

As soon as these words were said, there were several laughs from the crowd.

The news that Shen Nanshan is henpecked has never been a secret in Dahe Village. Everyone knows it, so this is just a joke.

Shen Nanshan didn't care either. He was often proud of having such a smart woman as Yao Shu.

Besides, he wasn't the only one who listened to Yao Shu's words, everyone did.

Shen Nanshan straightened his back and said to everyone with great dignity.

"It won't work today. The old lady is still waiting for me to go to work. There are a lot of things to do at home recently."

"What kind of work? We can all help out, too."

His short sentence aroused everyone's curiosity. Everyone wanted to know what kind of work they could do in this situation. Could it be that Yao Shu had come up with another way to make money?

After all, Yao Shu is different from them, she has a smart mind.

They also wanted to work together, and they didn't want to get a bite of meat. Even if they could get a bite of broth, that would be good.

Being surrounded by everyone asking questions, Shen Nanshan was a little at a loss, and suddenly felt a little annoyed that he shouldn't have said so much. Now if he didn't say it, he would be embarrassed in terms of face.

Fortunately, the old lady didn't tell him that he couldn't tell outside stories. It should be possible, Shen Nanshan said, pretending not to care.

"It's not a big deal, I just need to open up wasteland. I have a lot of family members, so I don't need anyone's help."

"Opening up wasteland? Where to open up wasteland?"

The more he talked, the more curious everyone became. After arriving at this place, everyone had long thought about reclaiming a few acres of wasteland. Unfortunately, it was surrounded by sandy land. In their opinion, there was no way to grow food.

They used to live in the south, and most of what they saw were paddy fields. Even the land was of good quality. In their eyes, the inferior fields were not so bad.

That's why they haven't started to open up wasteland for a long time.

But now that someone spoke first, they naturally couldn't let this opportunity pass.

Everyone pricked up their ears, waiting for him to continue.

"It's on the west side. I won't talk about it anymore. I'm in a hurry to get back, otherwise the old lady will come find me."

Shen Nanshan said something vague and ran away. If he was asked more questions, he would be exposed. He actually didn't understand the meaning of what Yao Shu did.

Anyway, he just did as he was told and didn't have to worry about it at all.

Seeing him running away, it was difficult for everyone to follow him, but they were really curious. Did they not notice that there were actually good places nearby that were suitable for land reclamation?

"Shall we go find my sister-in-law and ask?"
