Chapter 219 Borrowing a Cow

After a few days, the Su family's preserved egg workshop officially started operations.

Su He taught her mother Xie and Luo how to make preserved eggs, and the two of them were in charge of the preserved egg workshop from then on.

Not long after, spring ploughing began.

The Su family bought a lot of land last year, and it’s probably too much for the Su family alone to handle it.

Su Mu and Xia Mei are going to set up a stall in the town. The workshop has just started and needs manpower.

Su He asked Old Man Su to find someone in the village to help with the spring plowing work for his family in advance.

Su He thought that this was just a matter of spending some money. If someone from the Su family came, it would take who knows how long it would take.

Moreover, the Su family now has two cows, which makes plowing the land convenient and saves a lot of effort.

Since there's money to be made here, there are naturally many people in the village willing to help.

The Su family has a lot of land, and it took them several days to finally finish the work.

Seeing that the crops in his fields had been planted, Old Man Su also breathed a sigh of relief.

In previous years, it would have taken a long time to work on the few acres of land at home. But now it’s much easier. With more people around, things can be done faster.

Seeing that the Su family’s land had been planted, many people in the village began to come to their house to ask to borrow cows to plow the fields.

"Uncle, I am the only one with my child's father at home, and I am really too busy to take care of everything, so I would like to borrow your cow, just for half a day."

"Yes, don't worry, I will make sure the cow is well fed and return it to you."

"I really have no other choice but to come here and ask you for help."

Su He looked at several people standing in the yard. She was now familiar with the people in the village and could call out the names of each family.

However, the Su family was the only one in the village that had a cow. In previous years, every household had to rely on their own hands to plow the fields. Now that they saw that the Su family had bought a cow, they all came to ask for help.

But we are all from the same village. If no one lends money, it will definitely not sound good if word gets out.

The Su family is living a good life, so they can't just not help the people in the village at all.

But she immediately saw Xia Fugui, who was following the crowd with his head down, raising his head from time to time, and peeking out to echo the others.

This cow can be lent, but not to so many people. If everyone does, the cow won’t be able to bear it.

Su He lowered his head and thought for a while, then waved to his second brother Su Bai who was not far away.

Seeing Su He's appearance, Su Bai, who was watching anxiously from the side, didn't understand what was going on, but did not dare to delay and quickly ran towards Su He.

Su He looked at the increasing number of people in the yard, leaned over and whispered a few words to Su Bai.

As Su Baiyue listened, his eyes suddenly lit up. He nodded towards Su He continuously, then turned around and ran towards Old Man Su.

He turned his head and whispered a few words to Old Man Su.

After hearing this, Old Man Su narrowed his eyes and nodded gently.

After the two finished talking, Old Man Su straightened up and coughed twice.

He waved to the crowd in the Su family's yard, signaling them to stop first.

"Everyone, listen to me first..."

Seeing the crowd gradually quiet down, Old Man Su raised his lips and continued:

"Everyone has difficulties. I understand. I have a cow. You can borrow it!"

When they heard that Old Man Su was willing to lend them his cow to plow the fields, the crowd immediately burst into exclamations.

As long as the Su family is willing to lend the cow, that would be fine. Some people in the crowd were happy, while others had their own little calculations.

Some people didn't really want to come to the Su family to borrow a cow, but they saw others coming and followed suit, thinking that it would be a good deal if they didn't take advantage of it.

Moreover, once the cow is in their hands, they can decide how long to use it. By then, they can use it to improve the land at home and help their relatives as well.

Su He had already calculated that many of these people had their own ulterior motives. If they didn't think of a solution, the cow would be loaned out and in the end their family would not get any good results and would even have to face a lot of complaints.

"But I only have one cow at home now. Even if I work day and night, I can't take care of so many cows, right?"

Old Man Su believed in the principle of using courtesy before force, and Su Mu and his family had to go to town every day, so there was only one cow in the family.

Everyone nodded in agreement with what Old Man Su said. What he said was indeed correct.

There are so many people and only one cow, there won’t be enough to share.

Now it all depends on who the Su family is willing to lend it to, so everyone is trying their best to show themselves.

"Yes, yes, uncle is right."

“We know this.”

Seeing everyone's reactions, Old Man Su smiled slightly, nodded and continued:

"I feel relieved that everyone can understand me."

When everyone heard what Old Man Su said, they all nodded and were eager to hear who Old Man Su would lend the money to in the end.

"I have an idea. I will lend this cow to three families for one day. You can help each other and it will be faster."

"As for those who have more hands at home, they can do some of the work themselves first. This will be good for everyone. Do you think so?"

This is what Su Bai just said to him. As soon as Old Man Su heard it, he knew it was Su He who thought of it.

This way, we can help the villagers without offending anyone. With three families together, everyone can supervise each other.

The rest who are not scheduled to take turns can only do it on their own. After all, there is only one cow and they really can't handle it all.

Moreover, spring plowing is done in a hurry. If the best time is missed, it will affect the autumn harvest.

I guess no one would dare to joke with their own land, and there were no oxen to plow the land before, and it has been like this for many years, and the situation is not new this year.

Moreover, Old Man Su could see that not everyone in this crowd needed to borrow the Su family's cow.

He knew that some of them didn't have much land at home, so they could finish it in a day's work. There was no need for them to come here and compete with so many people for this matter.

When everyone heard what Old Man Su said, they were all stunned. Some of them did not expect Old Man Su to say that.

But if you calm down and think about it carefully, what Old Man Su said is right.

There are so many families in Yunli Village, but there is only one cow. It would be impossible to divide it up no matter how you look at it. Besides, there were no cows in the village in previous years, but we still got through it.

Now that the Su family is willing to lend out their own cattle, it is already very good. If it were them, they might not be as generous as the Su family.

In the crowd, Xia Fugui muttered with disdain: Why, he is Su Mu's father-in-law.

He raised his head and was about to argue, but when he turned his head, he saw Su He looking at him coldly.

Xia Fugui was startled suddenly, and the words he was about to shout out were stuck in his throat.

Su He looks young, but why does she have such a creepy look in her eyes?

Xia Fugui rubbed the goose bumps on his arms, lowered his head and muttered a few words, but did not dare to look up again.
