Gu Qingqing chuckled and said, "The son of the old man who sold the land in Shangyang Village borrowed money from the county at high interest, so his family had to sell the land to redeem him."

Gu Qingqing threw out the lead, and Wen Wuyan immediately followed up, "What should we do with this?"

"Yes. If someone suitable comes out at this time and says that you have also borrowed money from them at high interest, and they come to make trouble and see that I am unable to repay, will they go to the old Wen family? Let's not talk about what Dad will do. Do you think that Wen Chen and your eldest brother will propose to break off the relationship at this critical juncture to save them?"

Gu Qingqing kneaded the dough in the bowl, and after she finished speaking, she gave Wen Wuyan a look that said, "Praise me now."

Wen Wuyan successfully received the signal and praised her generously, "Qingqing is awesome, you put your knowledge into practice! However, this requires unfamiliar faces, and we don't know anyone in town."

"It doesn't have to be in town, it can be digging..."

“Dig a canal!”

At this moment, both of them gave the answer almost at the same time.

"I can go find my old man Yang. If I explain the situation to him, he should come to help me." Wen Wuyan said.

Gu Qingqing's eyes lit up as well. "If you're going, call a few more people. Since they're asking for money, more people will be more effective. If it works out, I'll cook meat for them."

Gu Qingqing spoke happily, but then her eyes fell on his legs. She heard last time that the place where Wen Wuyan was digging the canal was half a day's journey from their home. How could he get there?

"Your legs?" Gu Qingqing reminded.

"Tomorrow I will take a ox cart to the town and hire a car from the town. However, there is one thing I have to do before that, otherwise there will really be no chance." Wen Wuyan said again.

Gu Qingqing paused while kneading the dough, then kept bending over and looked up at him. "What's the matter?"

"We agreed on cabbage and pork when we divided the property that day," Wen Wuyan reminded.

"Ouch, tsk!" Gu Qingqing straightened up instantly when she remembered this, as if she had just remembered this.

"We can harvest the cabbages in advance, but as for the pigs..." Wen Wuyan didn't finish his words, but both of them understood what he meant.

They can cut the cabbages one by one and get their portion in advance, but it is difficult for the pigs to divide the cabbages at this time.

Gu Qingqing seemed to have made up her mind, "Don't worry about it for now. Wait until I finish kneading the dough. Let's go and chop the cabbage that belongs to us. The rest will depend on the situation."

Just do it!

After Gu Qingqing finished kneading the dough, she called Dahua and Erhua back.

You Dahua saw Gu Qingqing holding both a sickle and a bamboo basket, so she asked, "Mom, what are we going to do here?"

"Let's go pick the cabbages. We have no more vegetables to eat at home. Let's pick the cabbages first. Erhua, can you stay at home and look after Sanhua? We will be back soon."

Erhua nodded and said "hmm".

Gu Qingqing said this and went back to the house to feed Sanhua. This way, at least Sanhua wouldn't cry because of hunger when she woke up again.

Gu Qingqing asked Wen Wuyan to sit in the car while Dahua ran in front.

They entered the village and greeted the villagers they met in a friendly manner, and chatted with those they were familiar with.

She did not park the car in front of the Wen family's gate, but parked directly behind the house and built a fence with half-person-high bamboo walls.

As soon as she parked the car, she was seen by Wen Chen who was doing something in the backyard. That was a good thing, as it saved her the trouble of going to the front yard to call for help.

When Mrs. Wen Chen saw them park their car in her backyard, she immediately acted like a hen protecting her cubs, "What are you doing? What are you doing here?"

Gu Qingqing and Wen Wuyan looked at each other, then said, "Let's take the cabbage that belongs to us."

Gu Qingqing said this, but she didn't move the fence in front of her.

After all, they had separated. Although she said she came to take away his cabbage, that was not a reason for him to break in.

When Mrs. Wen Chen in the backyard heard that they were here to dig up cabbages, she staggered in anger and started to curse, "You two greedy guys, are there no wild vegetables in the mountains? Every household eats wild vegetables, but you are so greedy that you can't eat wild vegetables and instead eat the seedlings in the field."

Gu Qingqing looked at the cabbage that had already bulged, and ignored Wen Chen's scolding, saying to herself, "We are all starving, so why would we care about these things? Should you be kind enough to give us some food? If you give us some food, we also want the cabbage to grow longer."

The more Mrs. Wen Chen looked at Qingqing, the more it felt like there was a thorn in her eye. She wished she would never appear in front of her again.

When he heard that they had no food at home and could not even afford to eat, he immediately laughed so hard that he fell backwards.

After laughing enough, he turned his face up and said "Pooh" at them.

"You don't even know your own weight, just like an old woman trying to be the head of the household. If I wasn't watching you from behind, would you know how much rice you put in the pot when you're busy, and how much soup you scoop out when you're not busy?"

"Before, I let you drink a sip of wild vegetable soup, but you still quarreled about whether it was too thin or too thick. Why don't you complain now? If you have the ability, eat as many steamed buns as you want. I wonder what you will eat in the future! You two greedy guys, you can cook anything you have at home, but why don't you cook yourselves?"

"We killed such a big wild boar, but you didn't even bother to honor your parents. It will all turn into shit in your mouths. Now you are thinking about the food in my house. But we don't have any."

As Wen Chenshi's voice was output at a high volume, Wen Dacheng and others in the front yard heard the sound and ran over.

Especially when Wen Dacheng looked at Wen Wuyan and Gu Qingqing outside the fence, he first said to Wen Chenshi, "If you have something to say, you can't say it nicely."

Then he walked past Wen Chen and towards Wen Wuyan and Gu Qingqing, "What, what happened?"

Wen Wuyan stood up with the help of a bamboo pole, and now he also had a worried look on his face, "Dad, we don't have much food over there, so I want to come over and shovel all the cabbages that belong to us back."

When Wen Dacheng heard that they had to shovel all the vegetables back, he immediately said anxiously, "Why are you shoveling all the vegetables back? If you really have nothing to eat, just come and chop two vegetables every now and then. The vegetables are getting bigger and bigger these days. If you shovel all the vegetables back, you won't be able to eat them all in half a month, let alone ten days. If you don't shovel them back, they will grow longer in the ground. Or are you planning to sell them? Didn't you just make some money a few days ago?"

Wen Wuyan nodded, "I plan to pickle them and sell them. I earned a few hundred coins before, but there are too many things to supplement my family."

Zhang Cuilan and Wang Xiaoyun also came to Wen Chenshi's side and asked, "Mom, what's going on?"

When Mrs. Wen Chen heard Zhang Cuilan's voice, she turned around and saw that Zhang Cuilan had grabbed a handful of roasted soybeans from somewhere and her lips were all black from the food.

He said to her angrily, "You only know how to eat. Are you going to learn from them to be greedy and eat up all the wealth at home and then eat the cabbages in the field?"
