Peasant Woman's Decreed Life as a Wife

Chapter 797: Rejection

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Seeing his reaction, Han Zhuang knew what he was thinking and said honestly.

When Wang Shichu heard this, he felt a little regretful, but Han Zhuang had already turned around and returned to the courtyard.

Looking at the tightly shut courtyard door, Wang Shichu sighed and turned around to get into the carriage, thinking about how to deal with the next situation.

Three days later…

Ye Muyu was busy selecting seeds.

In addition, she also had to write a book on how to grow wood ears. She planned on selling it at the county bookstore.

With a merchant group, there was no need to worry about the low price of the wood ears.

The Xiang family also knew about this matter, but they did not say anything to oppose it. Firstly, they felt that this method was originally Chu Heng and his wife’s, so it was up to them to decide how to deal with it.

Secondly, they also felt that since Chu Heng and his wife could teach them, they must be kind-hearted.

Since they were kind-hearted, it was normal for them to teach it to other villagers.

Wang Shichu had also been hanging around the Xiang family for the past few days. Although the Xiang family did not like him, they did not want to offend him, so they did not chase him away.

Wang Shichu continued to stay in the Xiang family. Although he did not personally help them, he would call a servant to help.

He stayed in the Xiang family, wanting to get to know Chu Heng’s personality up close.

Of course, it was more because he did not want to offend Chu Heng. It was not that he did not want to expand his family. This was indeed an opportunity.

He thought about it for the whole night before he finally figured it out. After he figured it out, he regretted it.

He felt that he was really stupid. No matter why Chu Heng wanted him to take care of the villagers, if he became Chu Heng’s man, he would definitely be able to earn money in the future.

As for these villagers, what could happen to them? He was scratched silly by the village woman, which was why he said such stupid words.

Even if the relationship between the squires and the commoners was average, in the face of benefits, it was nothing to give a little benefit to the commoners.

In the end, he just needed to earn more than before.

Chu Heng knew that Wang Shichu was thick-skinned enough to stay in the Xiang family, but he did not care.

Chu Heng did not have to take Wang Shichu in. He just thought that if Wang Shichu really had disloyalty, he would be a threat. It would be easy for him to attack the Xiang family. He could not keep having people guard Black Water Village.

It was better to turn enemies into friends. Wang Shichu’s plot against the Xiang family did not turn out to be true. Chu Heng had asked the Xiang family for their opinion, and the Xiang family could forgive Wang Shichu.

At that time, Wang Shichu would be able to protect the Xiang family.

However, the other party seemed timid, and his thoughts were restricted. He was obviously not on the same path as Chu Heng.

Since that was the case, he could only get rid of this person and make other plans.

Early in the morning… Chu Heng sat in the courtyard.

The villagers had already baked a batch of wood ears.

Today was the day he would go home.

Chu Heng also asked Xiang Zhifu to inform everyone in the village to send over a batch of dried wood ears to sell first, to calm their hearts.

Thus, early in the morning, every household came to line up.

No matter how much they baked, he was prepared to sell it.

There were fifty to sixty households in the entire Black Water Village. For a moment, the Xiang family’s courtyard was extremely lively.

Chu Heng sat in the courtyard. Han Zhuang, who was beside him, took the copper coins and silver pieces that he had exchanged for earlier and placed them on the long table. Du Heng sat in the middle, helping to record the account book.

Xiang Ling’er and Landlord Wang were also there.

Xiang Ling’er was learning how to read and calculate.

Landlord Wang was completely thick-skinned, hoping that Chu Heng would forgive him.

Unfortunately, when Chu Heng really valued someone, he would not only ask for their opinion before doing anything, but he would also treat them well and respect them very much.
