Chapter 111 The Father-in-Law's Investigation
Zhao Lianhua looked at him suspiciously: "Brother Shenglin, do you have any ways to make money?"
But I have to help my family pick medicinal herbs, so I'm afraid I won't have time to earn any other money.
She'll never get married in her life; she'll just have to stay at home and be an old maid.
Therefore, I must help my family pick a lot of medicinal herbs in order to demonstrate my value.
"You don't need to spend too much time."
You know I live alone, but I'll have to go up the mountain to build a protective barrier later.
Although I can hire workers to help harvest herbs in my garden, I still need someone I can trust to keep an eye on things, to see how well they're doing, and how many kilograms they've harvested in a day.
Zhao Shenglin explained.
Zhao Lianhua pointed to herself and asked, "Do you want me to look after you for a bit?"
Zhao Shenglin nodded: "Yes, when they finish picking and sorting and go to town to sell, take a look at the weight and see if they can help collect the money after they sell it."
How about I give you ten big coins every day?
Zhao Lianhua was about to agree when she saw that it wasn't complicated, but unexpectedly, Zhao Shenglin gave her so much money.
She quickly refused, saying, "No, no, ten coins are too much."
The village hires people to pick medicinal herbs, paying them only twenty coins a day.
She only looked after things briefly, without putting in any effort, yet she received ten large coins. That's incredibly greedy.
Furthermore, Zhao Shenglin's family was not well-off.
In the whole village, only his family hasn't built a brick house yet.
He's already twenty years old, not young anymore, he should be saving money to get married.
"Not much. If you don't help look after them, they'll cheat and hide the herbs, and I'll lose a lot of money every day!"
Zhao Shenglin quickly tried to dissuade him.
Only if Zhao Lianhua agrees to accept the money can his guilt towards her be lessened.
Seeing that Zhao Shenglin insisted, Zhao Lianhua agreed.
Coincidentally, she also needed money.
Having money on you is always more convenient.
Not long after Zhao Taohua arrived home, there was a knock on her courtyard gate. The Fungus Mother opened the door and, seeing that it was Shen Ming, let him in.
The fungus spirit looked at Shen Ming and thought to herself: This man is quite persistent and shameless. He was just rejected by his future father-in-law today, and he still has the nerve to come to the door now?
However, although Zhao Ershu opposed his marriage to his master, his master had previously agreed to it.
"Sister Peach Blossom, I want to ask you a favor. Could you please take some time each day to check on my medicinal herb field and see how many kilograms of herbs the workers have picked?"
After they sell everything in town, they'll give you all the money.
Shen Ming said as soon as he entered the main room.
Zhao Taohua was thinking of him. She had used up all her spiritual energy in order to calculate the exact location of the landslide and mudslide.
So, as soon as she saw him arrive, she rushed forward and grabbed his large hands.
She felt the spiritual energy flowing continuously from Shen Ming's body where their hands touched, making Zhao Taohua feel extremely comfortable.
Sure enough, she could only feel at ease when she had spiritual energy within her body.
Shen Ming was overjoyed when Zhao Taohua took the initiative to touch him.
I tried desperately to pull down the corners of his mouth, but I couldn't.
Peach Blossom Sister is being far too proactive.
However, he really liked this Peach Blossom Girl.
So, Peach Blossom Sister likes him, right?
So every time she saw me, she would do something small to me.
"Okay, it's alright. I'll give you the money when you get home."
Zhao Taohua agreed.
Shen Ming immediately shook his head: "No, just leave it with you. What's mine is yours anyway."
After Shen Ming finished speaking, both of his ears turned bright red.
Then he added, "After we get married, I will listen to you on all matters, big and small, at home."
Zhao Taohua was happily feeling the ever-increasing spiritual energy within her body when she heard Shen Ming's words. She turned her head to look at him.
Seeing that although he was so tall, his cheeks and ears were flushed with shyness, Zhao Taohua immediately felt a desire to tease him.
"Brother Shenming, bend your back a little bit."
Zhao Taohua said.
Although Shen Ming didn't understand why, he still obediently did as instructed.
She released one of Shen Ming's hands, hugged his left arm with both hands, pulled his arm tightly, then stood on tiptoe and gently kissed his chin.
In an instant, Shen Ming stood there stunned, feeling as if he had been electrocuted!
In that instant, Zhao Taohua also felt even more spiritual energy surging into her body through the point where their skin touched.
Zhao Taohua was in an extremely good mood, and when she saw Shen Ming's face, which was as red as if it were about to bleed, she couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"What are you two doing?"
Zhao Ershu's voice suddenly rang out, startling Zhao Taohua.
"Father, Father? When did you get back?"
Zhao Taohua looked incredulously toward the entrance of the main room, where Zhao Ershu was standing.
Her gaze fell on the mother fungus.
The mother spirit was somewhat afraid to meet her gaze and whispered, "It was Master, your father, who forbade me to make a sound."
She really didn't mean it.
She was truly loyal.
However, after hearing that Shen Ming had come to the house, Zhao Ershu told her to shut up. He wanted to go to the main room himself to see what Shen Ming wanted to see Zhao Taohua about.
Even the mother spirit hadn't expected that her master's affection for Shen Ming was so deep that she would actually kiss him.
Shen Ming's hearing has always been excellent, but this time, because Zhao Taohua was holding his hand, linking his arm, and kissing his cheek, he was completely mesmerized by her and didn't hear any footsteps coming from the Zhao family.
He immediately bowed to Zhao Ershu and greeted him, saying, "Hello, Uncle Ershu."
Zhao Ershu snorted and then said to Zhao Taohua:
"Aren't you going to let go? How long are you planning to hold on?"
Zhao Ershu is showing Zhao Taohua this time, and the more he looks at her, the more he feels that she is a disappointment.
How can a young lady not be reserved?
Even if you like a man a lot, you can't show it. Otherwise, once he knows he's important to you, he'll start to think he can control you.
Zhao Ershu was worried that Zhao Taohua would be manipulated by Shen Ming, and that in the future, Shen Ming would be in a dominant position in their relationship, causing Zhao Taohua to suffer.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Taohua had no choice but to let go and sat down next to Zhao Ershu.
Shen Ming stood alone in the main room, letting Zhao Ershu look him up and down.
Zhao Ershu couldn't understand how Shen Ming could bewitch Tao Hua like that.
They've done all sorts of outrageous things.
However, since Peach Blossom likes it, he will try his best to satisfy her and make her happy.
However, Shen Ming must first pass his test.
He asked, "Shen Ming, how do you plan to support my Peach Blossom in the future?"
"I can hunt and farm right now, but coming up with ideas isn't my forte."
However, from now on, whenever Peach Blossom says she wants to do something to make money, I will definitely do it.
Shen Ming replied.
Zhao Ershu already had an answer in his heart regarding Shen Ming's character and personality.
Shen Ming is an honest, responsible, and respectful person.
When building the thatched hut together, he was quick and decisive, and never complained, even in the dead of winter.
Zhao Ershu was fairly satisfied with his answer, and then asked:
"After you and Peach Blossom get married, who will do the housework and farm work?"
