How could you not?

Even if the rice fields are not full and the food supply increases, we can still produce a few loads to feed the family for a long time.

Zhu Yongning opened his mouth, but no sound came out.

Because he really felt that he was particularly embarrassed now, as if his face had been pulled to the ground and stepped on casually.

Before he could say anything, his daughter-in-law became anxious and quickly touched his son's arm: Talk!

His son was usually very strictly controlled by Big Mouth, and he seemed to be honest and arrogant. In other words, he was already useless and was a "coward".

Otherwise, if the big mouth makes such a fuss, he, a son, would not even dare to fart?

We can't blame Big Mouth entirely, after all, Zhu Yongning came before him and he has been a "silent" role model for most of his life.

"Do you want it or not?" the clan leader confirmed again.

Of course he knows how important paddy fields are to farmers.

But he just wants Zhu Yongning to speak, because Zhu Yongning is the head of the family. Only when Zhu Yongning speaks, it is natural and logical for outsiders to interfere.

If someone doesn't want you to take care of them at all, but you take care of them, then you have become a "nosy".

Li Zheng said nothing because he had to leave an "escape path" for the two of them.

They must take care of this matter, no matter whether Zhu Yongning says anything or not, there is no doubt that they will take care of it. So the patriarch plays a bad face here and is tougher; while he can play a white face and give the two of them a step down.

The two of them have collaborated so many times, and they still have this "tacit understanding".

I don't know how much time passed, but the patriarch finally heard a dry voice: "I want..."

The patriarch sighed softly in his heart and did not embarrass him any more: "Okay, since you said you wanted to, we will continue to take care of this matter. Since we have taken care of it, I said the ugly things first and didn't let you two talk.

, both of you are not allowed to speak for a while."

"Especially you, Big Mouth," the clan leader shouted very rudely, "Did you hear that?"

Big Mouth responded: "I heard it!"

At this time, the weather was still a bit cold, and even the clan leader was worried that if he wore the wet clothes for a long time, he would be in trouble if he caught a cold.

After all, it seems that the paddy field matter will not be solved in a short while.

So they asked their loud-mouthed daughter-in-law to go back and get a change of clothes for the second elder. As for the other wet clothes, they should go back and change themselves, and then come back.

They went to change clothes over there, and here they stood up. The clan leader didn't wait. One of them continued to ask the previous questions, while the other came over and explained the previous situation to Ye Yuran.

It was also at this time that things got back on track.

After hearing what happened, Ye Yuran nodded slightly: "So up to now, who have approached Da Zui's Tian and are still asking questions, right?"

"Well! Everyone is planting rice, going back and forth, coming and going, there are quite a lot of people. Even when Big Mouth was busy in the field, he also saw a lot of people." Li Zheng said, "These people,

The clan leader has also asked, and they can tell what they are here for, whether they have any conflicts with Big Mouth, and there is some old friction from the past..."

"That's right. With his big-mouthed temperament, it's not surprising that he would quarrel with others." Ye Yuran asked, "What about this paddy field? Have you asked an experienced senior to help look at it?"

"Yes, it feels like it is dead." Speaking of this, Li Zheng frowned slightly, "I don't know what went wrong. There is obviously water, but it is dry..."

In order to let Ye Yuran understand what this "withered" thing was about, Li Zheng also took her to the edge of the field and showed her the root that he had pulled out before.

Obviously, this drying is not from top to bottom, but the rhizomes below have dried up.

Ye Yuran also noticed that not only did the main stem show signs of withering, but this root also had many broken tendrils.

She pointed at the seedlings and asked, "What's going on? Did you accidentally pull it up?"

"I don't know, maybe..."

"Have you noticed that Big Mouth kept saying before that the reason why she doubted me was not only because of our old grievances, but also because she felt that the seedlings in her field grew better than ours." Ye Yuran pointed.

Referring to those still in the field, he said, "What she said about growing well is that the seedlings in her field grow taller than those in our home."

Although a lot of the seedlings in the field have withered, I have to admit that they do look much taller than some of the ones next to them.

"But have you noticed," Ye Yuran reminded, "it looks taller, but the number of leaves, length of the seedlings, and the length of the rhizomes are not very different from those on the side."

She didn't say anything, but Li Zheng really didn't pay attention. When she mentioned it, he quickly took it and compared it with the one next to him.

Ye Yuran also picked one that looked similar, moved it very gently near its roots, and then pulled it out with both roots and roots.

Compared with the one in Li Zheng's hand, hers has complete roots and looks particularly energetic.

Putting the two trees together and comparing them one by one from their height to leaves and roots, it was quickly discovered that apart from the color and the small number of roots, they were actually very similar.

Especially "height".

"Did you see that after they were pulled out, they both grew to be the same height, but why in the paddy field, the one with the big mouth was taller and the one here was shorter?" Ye Yuran asked this question.

She didn't interfere in what happened next.

Although she had doubts in her heart, because Big Mouth had been grudged against her for a long time, she really couldn't interfere too much, lest Big Mouth splashed dirty water on her again: "I don't believe it, who knows if you played some tricks!"

Only the person involved knows who is pulling the strings.

At first, Li Zheng and the others suspected that someone had applied pesticides to Da Zui's paddy fields, which was why the seedlings turned yellow, withered, and died inexplicably.

However, after Ye Yuran's "reminder", not to mention experienced farmers, even young people with inexperience noticed something was wrong: Which family's rice seedlings would look a head taller than others, but in fact they are as tall as others.

?It’s not that the heights of the two fields are different.

Li Zheng did not let them be silent, but called the old farmer and a few young people again to make a "comparison" together.

This time, he didn’t let them directly “pluck” the seedlings from Dazui’s paddy fields. Instead, he tried to be careful and gentle to ensure the integrity of the roots, and slowly brought them out...

Zhu Da, Zhu Er, Zhu San, Zhu Si, Zhu Wu, Zhu Old Man, Li Shi and others quickly gathered around when they saw Ye Yuran coming back.

"Mom, do you see the problem?" Ms. Li asked very quietly, so that no one else noticed.

Big Mouth had just made a scene, and everyone was just watching the couple fight, but she found her mother-in-law squatting by the paddy field of Big Mouth's house and watching for a long time, and repeatedly compared it with the one from the house next to her.

At first, she thought her mother-in-law was just looking at her, but when Li Zheng and the clan leader asked her again, her mother-in-law ran to talk to Li Zheng.

Obviously, my mother-in-law must have discovered something.

Before Ye Yuran came back, Mrs. Li told everyone about this idea and looked around with everyone beside the two acres of paddy field. After looking for a long time, she didn't see what the problem was.

——Is this a brain problem?

——My mother-in-law’s brain is smarter than ordinary people’s, so she can always see things that ordinary people don’t notice?
