SFS Chapter 165 Not dead
Chapter 165 Not dead
Jiang Tang was bought by Mo Laosi from a human trafficker.
Not long after he bought it, Mo Laosi was sent to serve in the army and never returned home.
Last winter, news came from the county government that Mo Laosi had died on the battlefield and a pension of fifty taels of silver was issued.
The silver was taken by Old Lady Mo, and Jiang Tangniang and the other three had never seen it before.
According to his people's investigation, many people did die in the battle in southern Xinjiang last year.
But Mo Laosi is not a simple character. Some people say that Mo Laosi was captured after he penetrated deep into the enemy's territory.
Some people also said that Mo Laosi was killed in the explosion.
Bai Tong felt bad when he thought that Mo Laosi might still be alive.
Seeing Sister Jun running out, Jiang Tang just happened to come out.
Bai Tong asked, "What if Mo Lao Si didn't die?"
With a bang, the basin in Jiang Tang's hand fell to the ground.
"You, you couldn't have found out some information?" Jiang Tang's body and mind were trembling.
Damn it, she would rather be a widow or a stepmother, but she absolutely didn’t want Mo Laosi to come back.
When there is no man around, she just eats and drinks.
If Mo Lao Si hadn't died, he might have brought back a woman and stolen her property.
She'll go crazy.
Seeing Jiang Tang's shocked expression, Bai Tong thought that Jiang Tang still had feelings for Mo Lao Si.
The mood became even worse.
"Just pretend I didn't say anything!" He suddenly lost interest in eating and stood up to leave.
Jiang Tang shouted, "Explain yourself clearly. What do you mean Mo Lao Si might not be dead?"
"Do you know anything?"
Bai Tong flew away directly.
Mo Yijun trotted in from outside: "Mom, what were you shouting just now? I seemed to hear you calling dad?"
"Sister Jun, let me ask you, if your father hadn't died, what would you do if he came back in a few days?"
"impossible!"
Mo Yijun denied it outright: "The news was sent back by the county government, and grandma also took the silver, could she have been killed by the explosion?"
"possible!"
I, Jiang Tang, frowned: "It is very likely that your father is not dead. Not only will he come back in a few days, but he will also bring you a stepmother!"
"What if your father and your new stepmother have children and they want our house and land?"
Mo Yijun's big eyes flashed with ferocity: "If he dares to bring a woman back, we will drive her out!"
"Mom, don't worry. The name on the house deed is my eldest brother's, and the name on the land deed is yours. None of this has anything to do with Dad!"
"If that's what Dad wants, we'll kick them out. You can't let outsiders get away with the hard-earned stuff!"
Although it was just a guess, Jiang Tang felt warm inside after hearing what Mo Yijun said.
I'm not as anxious as before.
However, this reminded Jiang Tang that he should not buy land in Changtan Village in the future and should not let Mo Laosi know how much money he had earned.
After much deliberation, Jiang Tang decided that the best piece of land was the one next to Master Chun Ge.
There is only one house for their master on such a large piece of land, so she must find a way to move there.
Jiang Tang dropped the topic of Mo Laosi's news as soon as he mentioned it.
Because she is busy building a greenhouse.
Building a vegetable greenhouse is just like building a house, you have to be careful.
The northwest wind is very strong in winter. If you are careless, a strong wind may destroy the greenhouse.
Jiang Tang asked Li Liren to find the twenty most reliable men in the village.
Twenty copper coins a day, no matter what the meal is.
This is simply pie in the sky.
You don't have to go out in the winter and you can still earn twenty copper coins a day.
Besides, the sun rises late and sets early in winter.
The working time is very short.
Those who were chosen were so happy that they couldn't stop smiling, while those who were not chosen watched them work every day, hoping that they would take over if someone else had problems.
Li Liren was able to read blueprints, and it took him a full half month to completely build the greenhouse.
Jiang Tang monitors the work every day and can't find any problems.
The last step is to cover with film.
The three brothers of the Li family saw the things in Jiang Tang's yard and touched them curiously.
"Jiang Tang, this is the film you mentioned. It's really good. It's so thick and yet transparent. It's even better than window paper!"
"Jiang Tang, this should be the thing that the owner of Baiyu Tower sent a few days ago, right?"
"No wonder you're growing vegetables in the middle of winter. You said you had something so good. If you light a fire in the greenhouse, I think it'll be even hotter than in the house!"
The three brothers of the Li family already had a picture in their minds.
Jiang Tang said: "This film was specially shipped back from Jiangnan by the owner of Baiyulou. It is very valuable. Anyone in our village who has any improper thoughts about this thing will definitely go to jail!"
The people in the yard gasped.
They thought this thing was precious, but they didn't expect it to be shipped back from Jiangnan.
Jiang Tang also said this on purpose.
Li Liren's words were more useful than window paper and reminded her.
Nowadays, every household in the village uses window paper, and theirs is no exception.
Many people have been using window paper in their homes for decades, patching it up all the time.
It's okay when the weather is hot, but when the weather gets cold the house is like a cellar.
There might be people with narrow vision who would set their sights on this film.
There were not only the Li family members in the yard, but also other people working.
Jiang Tang believed that what she had just said would spread throughout the village, and at least half of the people would give up the idea of stealing after seeing the film.
The sun is brightest at noon, and the mud dries the fastest.
Jiang Tang asked everyone to wait until the morning before starting to apply the film.
The moment rolls of transparent film were lifted out of the Jiang family's yard and lowered from the roof of the greenhouse, the villagers were stunned.
The film was even more beautiful than the bronze mirror and it actually reflected the sunlight.
There are men who can't wait and go to work just to touch the film.
After the first one, there was a second one, and soon all the men who came to watch went up to work.
Jiang Tang was directing them in the field, telling them how to make the film.
In more than an hour, the film of the entire greenhouse was ready.
The villagers crowded into the greenhouse out of curiosity.
"This thing is really good, it's even warmer than home!"
"That's right, I guess Jiang Tang can grow some vegetables!"
"I don't think so. It's warm in here during the day, but at night the temperature drops and the vegetables will definitely freeze to death!"
"Unless you put something like a mattress on top of the film, pull it up in the morning and put it down in the afternoon!"
Jiang Tang looked at everyone talking at once and felt quite shocked.
Ancestors are ancestors.
Although these people have never seen a greenhouse, they have many years of farming experience.
Many questions come to mind at once.
Jiang Tang saw that they had almost finished talking before speaking: "Grandpas and uncles, you are right. If I want to grow vegetables, I really need to add a mat on top of the film!"
"So I would like to trouble everyone to help make mats. The size is two meters wide and three meters long. As long as the quality is good, I will take them!"
