After lunch, there was no chance for the shopkeeper Liao to speak, Wu Fenggang was busy talking to Erya about the field in Jiangnan.

originally said that he would sell the field, but Wu Fenggang was still reluctant in the end, he was afraid that he would never be able to buy it back if he sold it. So there was a stealing of the dragon and the phoenix, and on the surface, he sold the relationship between the field and the tenants to others, and the person who actually took over was another kid in the school who was committed to the world.

Coincidentally, they didn't have to think of any tricks to deal with the tenants, who had screwed things up themselves.

When Erya trained several team leaders in Liujialing and many villagers in Luedang, he specifically mentioned that in the rice fields with loaches, do not fertilize. Otherwise, the loaches will burn to death. And the long-term workers of this field did not know that when they followed the work, they did whatever the steward told them to do, and they did not pay attention to the fact that the field was not actually fertilized before planting the seedlings.

They didn't know about this taboo, just like they used to farm, they scattered a thick layer of farm manure in the field before planting seedlings, and then all the loaches that were left in the field were burned to death, and a layer of dead loaches floated on the surface of the water. Only then did they know that something bad was wrong, and when they wanted to buy loach seedlings and restock, they found that there was no place to buy them.

Although the yellow eel was buried deep in the mud and was not burned, it was also caught relatively thoroughly, and there was not much left. If you rely on a small number of eels to reproduce, it will take at least several years to form a flock.

In the end, the tenants were unable to buy loaches and eels because they could not buy seedlings, so they did not raise loaches and eels at all. There are clever people who have stocked some ducks. But without the help of the Wang family for one-time sales, they didn't sell much in the end by selling slowly. It is said that in the end, they all ate it at home, but it gave the children a good life of having meat to eat for a while.

When the late rice harvest came. The tenants calculated that the income of the year was at least five or six taels less than that of a long working hour. The whole family has been busy for a year, and other things have not been done well, and now they are all looking forward to being able to work for the Wang family for a long time! However, everyone understands that the Wang family has already sold the land to someone else, so how can they come again?! It's too late to regret it now. So they all vented their anger on the long-term worker they tried their best to maintain.

As for the restaurant that made trouble behind the scenes, it was also closed and sold. Just like the restaurant in the county seat that Erya bought, it was squeezed away. Not even a chance for revenge. At that time, Erya was still cautious and cautious for a long time, and was buried by Boss Li (now Director Li) as a joke.

Wu Fenggang finished talking about the situation of the fields over there and asked: "The owner, the lady of the owner, do you want to take back the fields and let those tenants become long-term workers?" ”

Erya shook her head. As long as those tenants didn't retaliate too badly because of Wu Fenggang. She didn't want to meddle in that side anymore. Whether those people are dead or alive, they don't care anymore.

"No need! Can you sell it or sell it! If you really don't want to sell it, then don't let people know that the field is still my king's family. Those tenants should pay the same rent as other tenants in the local area, and in the event of a disaster, how other people's families treat tenants is what our Wang family will do, and we will not give the tenants there any preferential treatment. ”

"Yes!" Wu Fenggang was quite happy to hear that the lady of the owner would not be soft on those people. He has seen a lot of things when he runs out all the year round, and finds that the lady of the owner and the heart of the owner are too soft. Treat people too kindly. Such a character can still be supported by the current Wang family. But according to the development trend of the Wang family. In the future, the family business will inevitably become bigger and bigger, and its power will also expand. If they continue to maintain this soft-hearted and kind temperament, it will not work.

If Wu Fenggang told Erya what he was thinking, Erya would definitely feel funny, where did he show softness and kindness?

Early in the morning of the third day, a large number of horse-drawn carriages from the city were hired to send back the Qu family and the hired workers in the wasteland, and let them bring some salted goods, dry goods, and rice for the New Year. Then he was busy arranging for Xiaolong and his newlywed wife to bring gifts to visit Mrs. Kong Liu, which was a three-day return gift.

Mrs. Kong Liu went back with the wedding team the day after receiving her daughter and son-in-law back to the door, because the Wang family wanted to stay here for the New Year, so they were sent by the Wang family's horse caravan.

Although the children who returned to the capital did not catch up with the New Year, they were all more excited than those who were at home. One of the children took several small things made of pure gold to his mother: "Mother, look! What is it?! ”

Mrs. Kong Liu's mother-in-law's sister-in-law looked at her youngest son holding four golden particles, and was sweating in shock: "My little ancestor! You're made of gold? ”

The little guy smiled proudly, clenched his palms and tilted his head: "Hmph! Made of gold, of course. When my cousin-in-law came in to pick up my cousin, I grabbed one. When we sent the dowry, my cousin-in-law's family sent one to me. On the third day, when my cousin and brother-in-law came back to the door, I fetched water for my cousin-in-law to wash his hands and face, and gave me another one. Later, I saw that my cousin-in-law had drunk a little too much, so I secretly poured a glass of boiled water as wine for my cousin-in-law to drink with my cousins, and my cousin also secretly gave me one. This time, I got the most Jinkezi, and they all cried angrily. Ha ha! ”

His mother also trembled slightly with excitement, and she got forty taels of silver on this trip! Their family's life is not good, and they are inconspicuous in the eyes of those relatives of the Kong family. If it weren't for the fact that the children of the Kong family were unwilling to go all the way to the west to suffer, they would not have been able to go to her children. She actually felt a little sorry for the child, but the child wanted to play far away, and he had never been far away, so she endured the distress and let the child go. I didn't expect to come back with four taels of gold on this trip. And there is also a bottle of Qingshen flower water, a set of four small glass teacups, a wool scarf, a pair of wool gloves, and a rabbit ear wool hat that they are reluctant to buy.

"Son! I gave you a red envelope, why did you give back so many things? ”

The little guy was very angry with a hat and a scarf, shaking the high rabbit ears on the hat, and replied to his mother's question: "The red envelope was given by my cousin-in-law's family, and these things were given by my cousin and aunt." My cousin said that this flower water is used in summer to repel mosquitoes. If you get a big bag of mosquito bites on your body, wipe it with this one, and it will be fine immediately. This teacup is for my sister, brother, father, and mother, just right! ”

His mother put her arms around her youngest son and asked with a smile, "Then you don't have it!" Really willing? ”

"I don't dare to use that thing, it will break when I pour boiling water into it, what's so good?! Yes! That's right, mother! You told your sister and brother that this glass should not be poured into boiling water when it is very cold in winter, otherwise it will break. ”

They had broken several of these teacups at his cousin-in-law's house, and he almost cried, and now he didn't dare to use them.

On the night of Mrs. Kong Liu's arrival, she was also in high spirits and told Kong Liuye how generous the Wang family was, how to raise face for her and her daughter, what golden peanuts, golden laurel garden, golden dates, and golden lotus seeds made red envelopes, and took a lot of good things for her daughter to distribute to the adults and children who were married, what to eat, and what to drink. said that Kong Liuye regretted his life, and sighed that he couldn't go for so long, otherwise he could have gone over to see and see.

Besides, the Wang family, who sent away the Kong family's wedding team, began to be busy celebrating the New Year. The bride's first year in the door, of course, should be done well. Even if Daman's daughter-in-law and Laizi's daughter-in-law and Anzi's daughter-in-law were so close, they didn't make a fuss about leaving, and Grandpa Tai was very satisfied with these great-granddaughters-in-law. Straight to the uncle and second uncle, they are really good, these daughters-in-law have a good family background, they are not arrogant, and they are not the rich eyes that look down on the countrymen. only a few women boasted of their red faces, and hid them one by one in the bride's new room and sneered.

A few stewards from the capital originally wanted to go with the Kong family, but because they had never had the opportunity to talk to the owner and the lady of the owner, they also stayed. At this time, there is a hostess in the house, as well as the eldest aunt, the second aunt, and a few concubines, so there is no need for the second girl to be busy, and finally give a few stewards a chance to come forward and speak.

"Sit! It's been too busy these days, and the hospitality is not good, so don't see outside! Erya beckoned them to sit and said politely.

"The proprietor lady is so polite! We were very well looked after here! ”

They politely responded to the lady of the proprietor and found a suitable seat to sit down, and the second girl began to ask about their respective situations. Although it stands to reason that he should have brought the account book, but in September, Zhang Yongan took people to check the accounts in various shops, courtyards, and farms in the capital, so there was no need to do more.

The shops are not very careful, and they basically go out from the Wang family. Only this big courtyard is not very reassuring to her, because the chief steward is hired. And for a long time, no one was sent to supervise, but Dahong's daughter-in-law and Xiangzi's daughter-in-law were just allowed to go around, which was undoubtedly a big loophole.

She first asked the chief steward of the compound: "Those children are not missing winter clothes and quilts, right?" ”

"I have everything to spare, clothes, shoes, and quilts! It's the old beggars you asked me to take care of by the way, and there are some problems! ”

"What's wrong with them?"

"Hey! Two of them were obviously sick, and they asked them to go to the hospital to see, but they just didn't go. I said that you have an explanation, and I will pay for their medical expenses, and they are not willing to go, saying that they do not want to spend that unjust money. ”

If you are sick, you have to be cured, how can you save this money? Besides, those old people have a close relationship with the children sent home! If I really don't care, I'm afraid that those children will find out, and the discomfort in their hearts will be even worse.

Erya nodded and said, "This is indeed a thing!" After you go back, go to Chunlin Hall and ask the doctor to come over to have a look, if the doctor dislikes and doesn't want to go, you tell them that it was the Wang family in Hepu Town who invited them to come over. If one of them goes, you can give them five taels of silver in addition to the fee. Then take the medicine back, you arrange for someone to boil it and send it over, or give it to the old man to boil it himself. ”

The chief steward didn't expect that the lady of the proprietor was really willing to ask a doctor for treatment for those old beggars, and his brain couldn't react. Stunned for a moment, he quickly came back to his senses and replied, "Yes!" I'll do it right away when I return to the capital! (To be continued.) )
