Zhang Jiang borrowed an ox cart to transport the rice with Yun’s father to the town market.

“Little Zhuzi, you’re about to start school. Are you excited?” Yun Men caressed her son’s sunburnt face. They had been exhausted recently but it was a fulfilling kind of tiredness.

Little Zhuzi nodded, “Mom, I will study hard. I promise to score full marks.”

Yun Men felt relieved, “Good, very good.”

These past few years had not been easy for her son. He was merely a child yet he had to help take care of his siblings.

Both Yun’s father and Zhang Jiang returned home with glowing faces.

The rice was sold at a good price.

“Yun Men, we finally have money at home. We have money!” Zhang Jiang was so exhilarated that tears welled up in his eyes.

“Yes, we finally have money.”

Watching the couple’s reaction.

“I should go now. Your mother is worried about me.”

Yun Men hastily called out to Yun’s father, “Father, why don’t you stay for dinner first?”

Yun’s father declined, “Next time! You should focus on sending Little Zhuzi to school first.”

Without even having lunch, Yun Men took a five-yuan note in hand, had her son carry his schoolbag, along with pens and notebooks, and accompanied him to the principal’s office to register for school.

The schoolbag and related items were all sent by Meng Yunhan, along with some books for Little Zhuzi.

Little Zhuzi started school.

They needed to prepare the field for irrigation. Depending on the heavens for them to make ends meet, it was necessary to store water.

Zhang Cuihua and Zhao Fang were green with envy after learning how much grain Yun Men’s family had harvested.

They were unable to pay their tax in grain.

“Shitou, what do we do? We can’t pay the grain tax. Where can we borrow grain?” Zhao Fang asked, hoping that Shitou would borrow from his parents’ home, as he, being their son, could negotiate more effectively than her as the daughter-in-law.

“We have to pay in cash, based on the weight of the grain,” sighed Yun Lei. What else could they do?

This was like working for an entire year for nothing.

If only they had chosen a different variety of rice seed, the situation would not have been this dire.

Who else was there to blame but his wife for offending his third sibling?

It was the third sibling who sent rice seeds to their youngest sibling’s home, not him.

Pay in money?” That was as tough as giving a pound of flesh. Zhao Fang did not want to give up her money.

She began complaining, “If Meng Yunhan had given us some rice seeds as well, could we have avoided all this hard work for nothing? If anyone should be blamed, it’s Meng Yunhan.”

Yun Lei stared at Zhao Fang, “Are you giving the money or not? Now you’re blaming others, but why did you go around saying that Little Huzi was bad luck? A jinx?”

Zhao Fang immediately withered. She already regretted this deeply.

“Shitou, can you go and ask mom and dad to lend us some?”

Yun Lei burst out laughing, “Borrow? Do I have the audacity to do so? When our parents needed help with their acre of land, you stopped me from helping. Do I have any dignity left to borrow from them now? If I had paid more attention back then, would we be unable to pay the tax now?”

Zhao Fang remembered how she had stopped Shitou from helping his parents.

Who could have known that a change in rice seed variety would have resulted in such a drastic change in the harvest?

She was now filled with regret.

While they only had five acres of land, but they managed to harvest a thousand catties of grain. After accounting for the cost of rice seeds and fertilizers, they actually made a loss.

At Yun Hai’s home.

Zhang Cuihua wailed ceaselessly.

Yun Hai, frustrated, walked away, leaving Zhang Cuihua alone at home with the children.

Yun Shuang and Li Yong sold their grain and bought some items to share at home.

“Father, Mother….” Despite some drought, they still managed to have a decent harvest this year.
