175 Indeed, Only Women Are Difficult to Raise!

Bai Wutong said to Yu Suisheng, “Master Yu, the fruits from Little Cat’s family in Lintian Village next door are very good. I hope you can go and buy their fruits.”

Yu Suisheng was unwilling to accept the fruits of Lintian Village because they had offended Bai Wutong.

Now that she was willing to accept it, he was happy to go.

He nodded and asked, “What about the other villagers?”

If he only accepted one of them, Little Cat’s family would inevitably become the target of the villagers.

Those who were indignant would definitely pester Little Cat’s family and beg them to sell their fruits to Bai Wutong. If Little Cat’s family was unwilling, they would offend many villagers.

Bai Wutong replied, “Take them too. As for the price, Master Yu can decide for himself.”

Yu Suisheng understood what she meant. Other than Little Cat’s family, she had no objections to how he wanted to lower the price.

Yu Suisheng brought people to Lintian Village, causing the heavy atmosphere in the village to suddenly have a hint of vitality.

The villagers surrounded him enthusiastically. “Master Yu, are you here to collect fruits?”

“We have several trees. The fruits weigh up to hundreds of catties!”

“We have three trees, so we also have 100 or 200 catties!”

“And us…”

Everyone fought to be the first to squeeze in front of Yu Suisheng.

If not for the guards blocking in front of Yu Suisheng, the villagers would have squeezed him into meat paste.

He smiled politely. “May I ask where Little Cat’s house is?”

Lintian Village had yet to choose a new village chief. Elder Lin stood up and said, “Little Cat’s house is just ahead. I’ll lead the way for Master Yu.”

Although farmers were regarded highly and merchants had low status and were looked down on behind their backs, in fact, who wouldn’t envy the rich lives of merchants?

Elder Lin led the way, and Yu Suisheng quickly arrived at Little Cat’s house.

Tao Yinzhen was weaving at home. The demand for summer cloth had increased, and she wanted to take advantage of this time to earn more.

She was too busy. Even lunch was made by Little Cat on the bench.

“Tao Yinzhen.”

Elder Lin’s old voice suddenly came from outside the door.

Tao Yinzhen raised her head in confusion. If she hadn’t heard Elder Lin call her again, she would have thought that she was hallucinating.

She walked out of the door and saw that her short fenced courtyard was filled with people.

Beside Elder Lin stood a refined young man.

She was stunned. She wiped her hands and asked nervously, “Elder Lin, what’s the matter?”

She glanced at the side room from the corner of her eye. Could it be that someone found out that she did not feed Ren Shuixing, and the elder had brought people to punish her?

Just as she was feeling uneasy, Elder Lin smiled at her and said eagerly, “This Master Yu, who is collecting fruits, is looking for Little Cat for something.”

At the mention of Little Cat, Tao Yinzhen looked at Yu Suisheng warily. “What’s the matter, Master Yu?”

Yu Suisheng smiled gently. He did not look like a businessman, but more like a scholar. He had a similar aura to Sheng Huaixuan.

He said, “Madam Bai told Little Cat that we are collecting fruits after he return home today. Didn’t Madam know?”

Tao Yinzhen was suddenly stunned and shook her head in confusion. She vaguely remembered that Little Cat seemed to have told her that Bai Wutong wanted to collect their fruits. She was too busy and ignored him, so he took the basket and went first.

Tao Yinzhen reacted to it after being a daze. She was pleasantly surprised and her smile was bright as though a pie that had fallen from the sky. She said repeatedly, “Master Yu, wait a moment. I’ll go pick the fruits now.”

Yu Suisheng said gently, “There’s no hurry. I haven’t offered a price yet. How about three copper coins for one catty of pears, five copper coins for one catty of bayberry and six copper coins for one catty of lychees? I wonder if Madam is satisfied with this price?”

This price was the same as in other villages. Tao Yinzhen’s family could produce nearly 500 kilograms of fruits. If she sold them all, she would earn more money than she could earn in two years of weaving cloth.

What else was there to be dissatisfied about? She nodded excitedly, her voice trembling. “Satisfied, satisfied, especially satisfied. Thank you, Master Yu. Thank you, Madam Bai.”

Yu Suisheng smiled. “Madam, you’re welcome. If you want to thank someone, thank yourself for raising a good son.”

Hearing others praise Little Cat, Tao Yinzhen wiped her eyes emotionally. “No, it’s all Madam Bai’s kindness for taking care of our Little Cat.” However, her tone was extremely proud.

If they could sell for this amount every year, it would not be a problem for Little Cat to go to school in town.

Some were happy, while others were worried. The villagers of Lintian Village outside the fence were discussing fervently.

What did Yu Suisheng mean? He came to their village to collect fruits, but only the fruits of Little Cat’s family?

They were discussing so loudly that Yu Suisheng clearly heard them, but he was indifferent. The hearts of all the villagers in Lintian Village instantly turned cold.

Elder Lin was also envious of Little Cat’s family for being able to earn several taels of silver at once. He said carefully, “Master Yu, there are still many very fresh fruits in our village. Lin Chenghai has already suffered retribution. Can you put in a good word for us in front of Madam Bai?”

Yu Suisheng looked at Elder Lin. His gentle gaze just now had suddenly lost its warmth. A faint smile hung on his face, making Elder Lin feel a little guilty. Could it be that he had said something wrong?

Yu Suisheng said unhurriedly, “Whether Lin Chenghai suffers retribution or not has nothing to do with Madam Bai. You sound like Madam Bai did it on purpose. Why? Do we have to buy all the fruits in your village?”

He was clearly an easygoing and refined person, but his words were so sarcastic.

Elder Lin cursed Yu Suisheng in his heart, but he quickly said, “That’s not what I meant. Master Yu, don’t misunderstand. I’m just afraid that you don’t have enough fruits, so I asked.”

Yu Suisheng glanced at him coldly and said angrily, “We have more than enough fruits, so you don’t have to worry.”

Elder Lin was so angry that he almost had a heart attack, but there was nothing he could do.

He could only watch as Yu Suisheng sent someone to pick fruits with Tao Yinzhen.

Since Yu Suisheng’s plan did not work, Patriarch Lin set his sights on Tao Yinzhen.

He found an opportunity to say to Tao Yinzhen, “It’s all thanks to everyone’s help that your husband survived after falling down the hill. Now that the fruits of the villagers are about to rot on the tree, go and say a few good words to Madam Bai and ask her to accept the fruits of our village.”

He hated Bai Wutong very much at the bottom of his heart. It was just a small matter. Lin Chenghai had already been arrested by the officials, but she could still bear a grudge until now.

...

Indeed, only women were difficult to raise!

Tao Yinzhen was extremely unwilling, but the two of them still had to live in Lintian Village. If she rejected Elder Lin, when he found an opportunity, he would definitely make things difficult for her.

However, she didn’t want Little Cat to look for Bai Wutong and make her detest him. After much hesitation, Tao Yinzhen said, “Elder Lin, it’s not that I’m unwilling to go, but I haven’t seen Madam Bai at all.”

“I can get Little Cat to ask if it’s possible, but I don’t know the outcome. After all, our village sold Madam Bai fruits previously and went back on our word. She might be unhappy when she thinks of this.”

Patriarch Lin was helpless and could only say, “Alright, let Little Cat try first”
