Chapter 110: 3 acres of land? 1 acre is not even realistic
Old Mrs. Qiao held the small pile of harvested rice in her hands, feeling heartbroken.
"God sees this waste of food, and there will be retribution."
Then he picked up the pile of rice and said, "Let's go home."
"Grandma, these rice grains are not ripe yet, we can't eat them." Qiao Zhizhi said, "Why are you taking them home?"
"We have to take it back, otherwise those guys will see that our rice has been harvested and might come to the fields to make trouble." said Old Mrs. Qiao.
"What's the logic behind this?"
Qiao Jianer laughed and said, "When a window is about to break, someone will throw a stone, and then a second and a third will come, causing more and more windows to break. Think about it, isn't that the truth?"
This is the broken window effect.
If unripe rice is thrown randomly in the fields, some people will think that the rice in this field can be handled at will.
Moreover, the three acres of paddy fields already belong to their Qiao family, but the rice on them is planted by the Shen family. Others would think that the two families are fighting for each other, and the rice is a bit ownerless.
Order is an extremely important thing no matter where you are.
The Qiao family suddenly understood and were convinced. The old ones understood many principles because of their rich life experiences, and the young ones understood things immediately because of their quick minds.
After lunch, Qiao Jianer went to Qingshui Town, found the Han family and told Mrs. Han about the situation.
After all, he is an old customer. It would be bad to keep silent if he doesn't come here to sell things for a few days.
Mrs. Han smiled and said, "Recently, almost no one from your village has come to town to sell Datian specialties. I guessed that I bought a lot from you earlier. It's enough to use. If you have any more, you can send them to me and I will accept them."
"Miss Qiao, thank you for your hard work. Please come in and sit for a while."
Qiao Jianer shook her head gently: "I have something else to do, so I won't bother Madam Han anymore."
She came to the town not only to tell Mrs. Han, but also to find out what had happened in the past two days.
Shi Murou went to Datian Village to make trouble. There are so many eyes and so many mouths, maybe the matter has already spread.
She didn't care about Shen Liang and Shi Murou. It was mainly their affairs that involved Sister Xier.
Although the Qiao family and the Shen family no longer have any relationship, it is always better to be more careful and learn more about the situation than to know nothing.
Today is not a shopping day, so there are few people on the street and I didn't hear any discussion.
She was about to go to Tianxianglou, a place where people gathered to drink tea and eat snacks, and where gossip was rampant.
As soon as I arrived outside Tianxiang Tower, I saw Shen Xiu pulling Shen Liang towards the side wall.
Qiao Jianer also found a shady place to hide and happened to see what was happening to the two people.
"Sister, what's the matter? I have to go back to the building to settle accounts. School is about to start again." Shen Liang said.
"Brother, let me ask you, how is things going between you and Miss Shi?" Shen Xiu went straight to the point.
Shen Liang guessed that she was here to talk about this matter, after all, the Shen family was waiting.
"Sister, this has just begun, don't be in a hurry. They are a wealthy family, different from ordinary families, so naturally we have to wait a little longer."
"Wait a little longer? How long do we have to wait? The Shi family has already sent their daughter to our village to announce this matter. Isn't it a done deal?"
Shen Liang started to have a headache again. Because of Shi Murou's confusion, he kept thinking about how to deal with the aftermath. He had been absent-minded these two days and couldn't learn anything.
Now Shen Xiu asked again, which meant that the whole family was urging him.
Is this kind of thing something that can be rushed? I might even lose my life.
"Sister, the Shi family has their own plans. Not to mention waiting for three to six months, it's possible to wait for one or two years. You should go back first. If the Shi family knew that our Shen family was anxious, they would only think we were impatient, which would affect their impression."
"What? We may have to wait for a year or two. Miss Shi has already gone to our village to announce the matter. Shouldn't we get engaged and married right away?" Shen Xiu was stunned and could not accept Shen Liang's statement at all.
"These are two completely different things." Shen Liang's face was serious. "Sister, don't ask any more questions. Just listen to me and wait at home. Don't go to the Shi family. If you offend them, we can't bear the consequences."
Shen Xiu stamped her feet: "What the hell is going on here? I don't understand at all."
"Just do as I say." Shen Liang was already a little impatient: "Sister, good things take time. Our Shen family is completely insignificant in front of the Shi family, so you have to be more patient, or wait until I am better."
Shen Xiu's mind raced, and suddenly she grabbed Shen Liang's arm: "Brother, just tell me directly, have Miss Shi's family agreed to your marriage?"
There was something ominous in her tone, and a hint of nervousness and fear in her eyes.
Shen Liang felt a little guilty and frowned as he pulled her hand away.
"There is naturally no problem between Miss Shi and me. Master Shi is quite satisfied with me. Don't worry, go back."
"Oh." Shen Xiu left with a depressed mood, thinking that the rules of wealthy families are different from those of ordinary people's families. Isn't the process of marriage similar from top to bottom?
Thinking of something, she turned back and said, "Brother, Miss Shi promised to give our Shen family thirty acres of land. Please remind her not to forget that you can get married later. The land should be given to us first."
Then I went.
Shen Liang closed his eyes and took a long breath.
Not to mention thirty acres of land, even one acre is not realistic.
Shi Murou only had some change from her New Year's money in her hand, and she had no say in matters concerning the farm and the land. This kind of thing was originally related to marriage. Without the approval of Shi's parents, she could forget about getting the thirty acres of land.
Occasionally, one could hear discussions in the streets and alleys, and in Tianxiang Tower, there were always people looking at him and whispering to each other.
Now Shi Murou is blocking it, so it has not yet reached Mr. Shi's ears, but it is only a matter of time.
Shen Liang paced back and forth with his arms folded, and suddenly his eyes fixed on something, and an idea came to his mind.
This plan is a bit cruel, but for his future, he can't care less.
After the Shen family is stable, he will go to the Qiao family and make Qiao Xier his concubine no matter what.
Shen Liang did not go to school in the afternoon. He turned around and turned into an alley and knocked on a door.
Qiao Lian'er followed behind. There was an elm tree outside the yard of this family. It had outstretched branches and dense leaves. She climbed up.
The reason I followed was that from Shen Liang's expression just now, it seemed like he was going to do something bad.
When he glanced into the yard, Qiao Jianer took a breath of cold air.
There was an iron frame in the corner of the yard, with dozens of snakes locked inside, including five-step snakes, bamboo pit vipers, cobras, cabbage snakes, black-banded snakes, king snakes, and other poisonous and non-poisonous snakes. They were placed in two iron frames, colorful, some of them were spitting out their tongues, and some were fighting.
