My Husband and I Brought Hundreds of Millions of Supplies to Farm Chapter 221 Happy News

221 Chapter 221 Happy News

After the seedlings were planted, no one expected that the county would distribute some wheat seeds as a.s.sistance. However, there weren’t many—only enough to plant half the land.

But this was already enough to make the people happy.

Therefore, just in case, the paddy fields near the river were all changed to dry land and planted with spring wheat.

Zhou Ying didn’t change her plan. She still intended to plant white sweet potatoes throughout the manor.

A month later, people began to get their income back from the fields because the vegetables matured, and smiles appeared on their faces again.

One day, Zhou Ying returned to the village early because she was having her period, which was unpleasant.

On the way, they just happened to meet Madam Qiao walking outside, so she had to go up and greet her. “Grandma, are you taking a walk?”

“Yeah, are you not busy at the restaurant today?” Madam Qiao greeted her back with a smile.

“Not really. It’s hot now, so there aren’t many people eating hotpot.”

“I see. I have something to discuss with you.”

“What’s the matter? Just tell me, and I’ll do my best if I can.”

“It’s not a big deal. I’m just here to inform you about your fourth sister-in-law, Gu Ziqiu’s, marriage. People will be coming for the engagement the day after tomorrow, so I hope you can take the time to come over and have a look.”

“This is excellent news. What kind of family is the groom from?”

“Your eldest uncle’s sister-in-law, Chengen, introduced him to me. He’s a well-off small landlord.

“There are two brothers in the family, and they own more than a hundred acres of land. She’s marrying into the second son of this family.”

“That’s good enough. We’ll definitely be there the day after tomorrow.”

“Alright, then you go ahead. We’ll…” Madam Qiao hadn’t finished her words when she saw two carriages slowly enter the village.

The two immediately stood to one side. After the carriage pa.s.sed, Madam Qiao said, “I’m mostly sure that’s your eldest sister-in-law that has returned.”

“Big sister? Are you talking about Sister Ziyi?”

“Yes, I remember the coachman in front. He was the one who drove the carriage when we came back two years ago.”

“Your memory’s pretty good; I can’t even remember it was him.”

“You’ve been busy, after all. I’ve been wandering around the village every day when I’m free, so I naturally remember it clearly.” When Madam Qiao said this, she was a bit worried because their return was too low-key.

However, she didn’t care about that now. She shook her head and told Zhou Ying to come early the day after tomorrow, then went home.

Zhou Ying didn’t overthink, and when she got home, she went to her inters.p.a.ce to boil water with an electric kettle. She mixed it with mineral water and made herself a gla.s.s of milk. After drinking her fill, she laid on the heated bed for a nap.

She fell asleep quickly and was woken up by Gu Chengrui after that.

When she saw that the sky had completely darkened outside, she quickly got up and asked, “When did you come back?”

“It’s been a while. Dinner is ready, so wash your hands and get up to eat.”

“Thanks.” Zhou Ying sat up and calmed herself down. She went to her inters.p.a.ce to relieve herself before coming out for dinner.

After the meal, Zhou Ying told him about Gu Ziqiu’s engagement, “It’s the day after tomorrow. Remember to make time to go over earlier so that they won’t complain.”

“Alright. Should we prepare something?”

“There’s no need. She’s getting engaged, not married. At most, we’ll give them some peanuts and melon seeds.”

“That’s true. You just have to prepare as you see fit.” After Gu Chengrui finished speaking, he cleared the dishes and went to the kitchen to wash them.

Gu Chengrui had just left when the curtain was lifted. Zhou Ying thought Gu Chengrui had returned, but it was Mrs. w.a.n.g and Gu Ziyi instead.

Although Gu Ziyi was no longer haggard, her expression was dark, and her eyes were hollow. It seemed that something had happened again.

“Aunty, sister, quickly come in and sit,” Zhou Ying said after a brief moment of stunned silence.
