Chapter 428

Two cents of silver per acre of land?

The couple, who haven't seen Yin Zimian for a long time, almost jumped up in joy when they heard this.

Bai Zhi said again: "I'm in a hurry to use the land, so you have to hurry up, turn it over well, and I will give you the money. If you want to deal with it, I'm sorry, I don't have this kind of spare money."

Zhang Shi hurriedly said: "Don't worry, you can rest assured, we will do as you say, and we will never let you down."

Bai Zhi nodded: "Okay, you can go back and prepare now. I will use the land in two days. The sooner I finish it, the better."

The two couples nodded again and again, thanked Bai Zhi and Zhao Lan again and again, and then turned to leave the hospital.

On the way back, Bai Erzhu had a hard time: "Three mu of land, two days, I'm afraid it's too late! I work hard in one day, I can turn over one mu of land at most, and three mu in two days is not enough."

Zhang shi rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "In this way, let's go to my second brother. He still has cattle in his family. He will give him an acre of land and earn two silver coins for him. He will definitely be happy."

Bai Erzhu nodded again and again: "This is a good idea, the second brother works very fast, maybe he can come to me after he is busy."

Mrs. Zhang turned his eyes on him: "You haven't woken up yet, and in the future, we can only rely on ourselves, and we can't expect others to help us. If the second brother opens his hand and is willing to help us, that's the best way. Okay, but you can't expect it, do you understand?"

Erzhu nodded again and again: "I understand, I have written it down, and I will listen to you in the future."

The husband and wife went to Zhang Sanshui's house happily. When they talked about it, Zhang Sanshui heard that he could earn two dollars in one mu of land. Naturally, he responded happily, thinking that he didn't help them in vain. What about him.

On the way back to Bai's house, Mrs. Zhang said to Erzhu: "Let's borrow cows now, and we'll go to work as soon as the cows arrive. I'll get the wages early so I can buy food. The last time I borrowed the second brother's food, only The last bit is left, even if it is boiled into rice soup to eat, I am afraid that it will not last a few days."

Erzhu nodded: "Sure, I'll borrow a cow now."

Zhang continued: "I'll go to the field with you in a while, and let the rich and noble go too. The three of us can do as much as we can. It's better than doing it alone. At noon, let Zhuzhu bring us some wild vegetables and water. Porridge."

The husband and wife agreed to do it right away.

. . . . . .

Seeing that it was almost noon, White Pearl came out of the room and was going to cook some gruel to send to her parents and younger brother, but who knew that after she took out the rice bag, it was empty, there was not a grain of rice. She and her mother prepared it together. They also knew how much rice was left in the rice bag. It was impossible for them to have no grains of rice. They didn't eat it this morning. There should be two days' rations left in the rice bag. There are no grains of rice. . .

She thought of how Bai Dabao slipped away as soon as he saw her when he just came out of the room.

Bai Zhenzhu carried the empty bag to the door of the uncle and auntie's room. The door was tightly closed, but there was a sound inside.

She knocked on the door: "Uncle, Auntie, I'm Pearl, can you open the door?"

There was no sound from inside, and after a while, Mrs. Liu said, "We're sleeping, we'll talk later if there's anything else."

White Pearl snorted coldly, what do you sleep for during the day? It was obvious that he did something wrong and did not dare to face her.

"Auntie, I have something to look for you, you open the door first." Bai Zhenzhu patted the door again.
