The Pretty Man I Picked Up [Time Travel]

Chapter 163 No problem, uncle

Due to Xu Xingwen's mistake, there was no potato left in the family. Xu Tang's family is still worried about the spring planting in February.

Xu Tang was in a trance. She could never have thought that her youngest son would deceive her family to drink wine under the guise of discussing knowledge with his classmates, and caused heavy losses to the family.

"What a sin."

Xu Tang sighed. Seeing her eldest son and his family sitting dejectedly on the corridor, she felt bad.
Although she was angry, she couldn't bear to beat or scold her beloved son, so she made up her mind to keep Xu Xingwen at home to study and not let him go out.

It was all the fault of those scholars in the town who led her son astray.

The most urgent thing was to get enough seed potatoes.

Xu Tang lowered her head to think, and after a while, she called Xu Zhao in and said in a hoarse voice: "Zhao, go back to your mother's house."

Xu Zhao suddenly raised her head, widened her eyes, and said in a trembling voice: "Mother, what did your daughter-in-law do wrong? Why do you want to drive me away?"

"I'm not going to drive you away. Now we don't have any seed potatoes at home, and we have to go to your in-laws' house in summer... Alas, I can only ask you to go to your in-laws' house to see if you can Bring back some potatoes?"

Xu Zhao was relieved and said hurriedly: "Yes, mother, I will go back with Ping'er."

Xu Tang nodded and gave her some silver, "If you don't want to lend it, you can say that you want us to buy it. No matter how much, you can always bring some back."

"Daughter-in-law understands." Xu Zhao took the silver.

Xu Tang looked at her granddaughter-in-law again, "You..."

"Grandmother, my mother's family just received potatoes from the government a while ago, so there should be no potatoes to lend to us. "Sun lowered her head to her chest and whispered.

Xu Haoping reached out and embraced his wife, "Yes, grandmother, my father-in-law's family came to see us last year..."

Seeing his grandmother's unfriendly look, Xu Haoping quickly kept silent.

"Mom, Haoping and I will go now." Xu Zhao pulled her eldest son, "Let's go to your grandparents' house with mother."

Xu Haoping patted his wife's shoulder soothingly and replied, "Hey, here I come, mother." He ran out to catch up with Xu Zhao.

Xu Tang retracted her gaze and fell on her eldest son, "Xingwu, come with me to ask the people in the village."

"Hey."

"Old man, you come too. "Xu Tangshi couldn't stand Xu Changsheng who acted like nothing happened, and said coldly.

She took the silver she got in the morning and went to the village with Xu Changsheng and his son to buy potatoes for spring planting from house to house.

Everyone in the village knew her family's situation. They thought that Xu Tangshi still had a student. Although Xu Tongsheng's reputation was not very good now, there was no guarantee that he would pass the imperial examination in the future. They were afraid that if they didn't sell to his family now, they would be hated.

Then they thought that if they sold some potatoes to Xu Tangshi now, they could let the Xu family owe them a favor, so that her son could help their family when he passed the imperial examination in the future.

The villagers all had this mentality. After Xu Tangshi's persuasion, they sold some of their potatoes that they kept as food to her, and Xu Tangshi actually collected nearly 500 kilograms of potatoes for seed potatoes.
