Chapter 581: The Chen Family's Hope for Revival

　　At this time, Chen Er came back from outside and saw a room full of women in silence. He asked casually, "What's wrong?"

　　Old Mrs. Chen was furious and pointed at them and said, "The Shen family wants to open a sugar factory. I asked them to prepare well and apply for the job when they recruit workers. Look at them like this. I really..."

　　Chen Er frowned, "Grandma, I heard that the Shen family will recruit people from Shangyang Village, and we may not want them."

　　He heard it from Shen Xiao.

　　Ever since they were released from conscription last time, Wang Hao and his colleagues no longer had to go to the mine. They spent the whole day farming and seemed to be much calmer.

　　As Master Qin's disciple, although Chen Er was unable to develop gunpowder with Shen Xiao, he did a lot of research on the cold weapons of the Military Equipment Bureau. Because of this, he and Shen Xiao had a closer relationship.

　　"What? Not recruiting people from our yard?" Old Mrs. Chen was stunned and didn't react.

　　Chen Er nodded, "We already have a lot of work to do in the fields, how can we spare some manpower to go to the sugar factory?"

　　"Well, the family has worked harder, so we can still get a share." Old Mrs. Chen was a little depressed. She had lost another opportunity to establish a good relationship with the Shen family.

　　Chen Er didn't reply, but said, "Don't control the sugar mill yet. I heard that we are going to plant cotton this year. We should get another piece of wasteland and prepare it."

　　Last month, Shen Qingqian mentioned the issue of cotton planting to Liang Cheng. In addition to cultivating higher-yield cotton in the planting base, they will also start trying to plant it this year.

　　There is no doubt that cotton-padded clothes can keep you warm. After asking Shen Qingqian for his opinion, Liang Cheng has designated an area for planting it. However, in order to increase the income of the people in northern Hubei, Shen Qingqian suggested that it should be promoted among the people starting this year.

　　April is the season for planting cotton, and related publicity work has already begun in early March.

　　However, because there were too few finished cotton clothes, other people did not have much trust in it. As for Huanxiyuan, the land was occupied by other cash crops and there was no place to grow cotton.

　　Now that spring plowing is over, everyone has just taken a break and has not had time to plan this matter.

　　Chen Er went home today just for this matter, mainly because the army had already drawn up the purchase price of cotton, and he felt that the Chen family could fully seize this opportunity.

　　"How could I have forgotten this?" Old Mrs. Chen cheered up. "You are right. Cotton is a good thing. Even if we don't sell it to the army, we can still make money by selling it to ordinary people in the city."

　　Old Mrs. Chen was a person of action, so she immediately stood up and walked out.

　　Since the women in the family are not ambitious and don't want to work in the sugar factory, let them do something else.

　　The women of the Chen family: ""

　　Originally they thought they could take a break after the spring plowing, but now they have to open up wasteland and plant cotton again. They feel like life is meaningless.
