Chapter 220 Drawing Lots

Su He raised his eyebrows, seeming to be very satisfied with Xia Fugui's reaction.

Just be afraid!

She didn't expect that Xia Fugui would dare to come to the Su family with this group of people. It seemed like he was trying to take advantage of the situation.

Su He found a bunch of sticks of different lengths, walked towards Old Man Su, handed them to him, and whispered a few words to him.

It’s hard to say who will be in the first and the last place among so many people. In the end, no one will accept the decision and will be the last one.

The best way is to draw lots!

Su He had already explained the method to Old Man Su, and she cut the skewers into two types, long and short.

Those who draw short lots will go in front, and those who draw long lots will go in the back, so no one will complain.

Everyone nodded when they heard this. This method was indeed good. If they drew a long lot, it would be their luck.

Seeing that everyone agreed, Old Man Su asked everyone present to come forward and draw lots, and finally the three families would be combined.

This way you have the best of both worlds.

In the end, some of the people who drew the long lot were a little unconvinced at first. Before Old Man Su could even open his mouth, they were retorted by the others.

It's good enough that the Su family is willing to lend out their cow. Who can I blame if I draw a long lot? It's just a cow, and everyone can't get a leg.

The few people who originally wanted to make a scene ended up running away in shame.

Su He looked at the people who stayed in the yard, and the corners of his mouth slowly rose.

This is the crowd effect. If the Su family were to refuse, it would certainly be impossible to satisfy everyone.

Now, those who drew the short lot will naturally be the first to speak up and fight back in order to be able to use oxen to plow the fields.

Old Man Su also secretly breathed a sigh of relief. If today's matter was not handled well, it would be really troublesome.

After all, they are from the same village. If this gets out, who knows what people will say about the Su family behind their backs in the future.

Now, even if someone uses this matter to criticize the Su family in the future, there will naturally be people who speak up for the Su family. They don’t have to worry at all.

At night, Zhao returned from the Su family's workshop and told her father-in-law about this.

When the village head heard this, he smiled and nodded, and he felt that the Su family did the right thing.

After all, the Su family only has one cow. Even if they want to help the entire village, they are unable to do so.

Now this can help a part, which is good enough.

The village head just felt that the Su family's behavior was kind and there was nothing wrong with it.

This was how the matter was arranged. Even if someone in the village complained later, there would be someone who would come out to speak for the Su family.

After finishing the spring ploughing work, this matter will slowly pass.

After a few rains, Su He stood in his own yard, staring in the direction of the other side of the mountain, thinking to himself: It’s about time for the mushrooms on this mountain to come out.

But this year, I am very busy with my own affairs and have no one to go into the mountains to pick mushrooms.

In fact, there is no need to go deep into the mountains. There are many mushrooms just outside. Su He thought about going to Qianweilou to find Manager Zhao tomorrow.

See if they still need mushroom sauce this year.

Last year, we made a lot of money from mushroom jam. It would be a shame if we just leave it alone this year.

As for manpower, there are many things to do in the village. If the Su family pays for it, I believe many people will be willing to go into the mountains to pick the fruits.

It can also increase your family's income, and everyone can do this job. I believe everyone will be happy to see it.

After Su He considered everything, he went to the town with Su Mu the next day.

After being busy for a while, seeing that there were fewer customers, Su He went to Qianweilou.

As soon as Manager Zhao came, Su He invited her into the inner room. Su He was a little surprised that Manager Zhao seemed to have something to say to her today.

But Shopkeeper Zhao seemed to have thought for a long time before speaking, and Su He thought she had misunderstood.

I'd better tell you my story first.

When Shopkeeper Zhao heard Su He talking about mushroom jam, he was stunned for a moment, then nodded vigorously after a while.

If Su He hadn't mentioned it, he wouldn't have remembered it for a moment. It seemed that the season for mushroom jam had arrived. It was about this time last year when Qianweilou officially launched mushroom jam and it became very popular.

It would be best if this was still available this year. Many customers have come to ask about this before.

Su He smiled and got a positive response from Manager Zhao. She knew what to do.

She would have to discuss this matter with her family after returning home to see if her previous idea was feasible.

Su He tapped the table with her fingers, thinking about the mushroom jam, and suddenly she noticed Shopkeeper Zhao who had not spoken for a long time.

Shopkeeper Zhao seemed a little different today. Whenever Su He came, he was always very polite and smiling.

Why does he seem to be a little absent-minded today? I don’t know what he is thinking about.

"Uncle Zhao?"

Su He put his thoughts aside and called out softly to Shopkeeper Zhao.

If there was nothing else, she would go back first.

"Oh, He girl....I'm sorry, I was just thinking about something else."

Shopkeeper Zhao put away the expression on his face and smiled embarrassedly at Su He.

"It's okay, but...Uncle Zhao, if you need any help, just tell me."

Su He said with a smile.

Looking at the expression of Shopkeeper Zhao, it was obvious that something was wrong.

But Su He was too embarrassed to say it out loud. Manager Zhao had helped her a lot before, so if there was really something that needed her help.

If you can help, please do so.

"........."

Shopkeeper Zhao looked at Su He without saying anything, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

Looking at the appearance of Shopkeeper Zhao, Su He was also a little confused.

"without......."

Shopkeeper Zhao shook his head, then nodded.

Seeing Su He about to leave, as if she had made some important decision, Shopkeeper Zhao spoke again: "He girl......"

After a pause and swallowing, he continued, "Your second brother is married at home."

When Su He heard Manager Zhao asking about Su Bai, he was a little surprised, but still shook his head affirmatively.

"Then... does he have a crush on someone?"

Although Su He didn't know what Shopkeeper Zhao meant by asking this question, he still spoke honestly:

"Probably... not. I haven't heard my family mention it."

Su He is very busy every day now. He either goes to the workshop or draws some patterns for Tan Siniang's cloth shop.

I heard that the finished products of the previous patterns were bought by a businessman from another place, and he said he wanted to order another batch and would pick them up the next time he passed by. Su He worked on this in his room whenever he had time.

The town has been busy lately, so Su Bai went to the town with Su Mu and Xia Mei to help out for a while.

Is there something I don't know?
