Chapter Seventy-Four: Face to Face

These two beautiful brothers and the beautiful sister above were still working with them in the tea field in the morning, but now, why did they suddenly change into beautiful clothes and sit on them and look at them with a smile?

It's not just that the little girl can't figure out why? Even the old farmer never imagined that the person who actually lived with them in the past few days was actually the head of the Xiao family. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoAfter learning that the runaway girl who talked to him in the past few days was actually the eldest lady of the Xiao family, the old farmer was stupid, stunned there, and didn't even know if everything in front of him was a dream or an illusion.

Just when the old farmer was stunned, Xiao Chu looked at him with a smile and said, "Old man, it seems that you still remember me." ”

A smile pulled the old farmer back from his stupure, and when he looked at Xiao Chuxuan and was stupid for a while, the old farmer exclaimed: "You, you are the head of the Xiao family?" ”

"Exactly." Nodding in response, Xiao Chusu got up and apologized for the previous deception, Xiao Chusu said: "I have concealed it before, but it is really a last resort, and I hope that the old man will not be strange." ”

"No...... No...... What's not to blame. ”

Although the old man has read for a few years, he can also know some words, but all this in front of him is obviously far beyond his understanding, after seeing Xiao Chuxuan's apology, the old farmer is so shocked that he doesn't know how to respond. Xiao Chu was stunned, and said with a smile: "The family business is really strange, in order to find out the root cause, Chu Chu had no choice but to take such a strategy, and entered the tea field as a short-term worker to inquire first-hand." During the period of deception, it is not a last resort, I hope that the old man will not complain about Chu Su because of the deception of the past few days. ”

"Don't dare, don't dare, Miss, what you said really hurt me."

The head of the Xiao family, the person they hate most among the tea farmers, is that they have never scolded this eldest lady on weekdays, and when Xiao Chushu was in the tea field, they also said angry words in front of her. Those words were the old farmer who thought of them and felt terrified, but Xiao Chusu seemed to be scolding him for those vicious words, and even apologized to him for the deception.

The eldest lady of the Xiao family should be a woman with a poisonous heart, but now it seems that it is completely different from what they knew before. Not only is she not a poisonous woman with a black heart, but she is a well-read and virtuous woman, and she is by no means the vicious person they thought before.

Xiao Chu's apology should have made the old farmer stupid, but her words with the old farmer shocked the heart of the bear. I thought that it would only be a few days, even if the eldest lady really had a heart, she couldn't see how much could be found out here, but from the conversation between the eldest lady and the old farmer, it was obvious that the eldest lady had not just gone into the tea field for a few days. The heart sank instantly, and people also pressed the heart that suddenly surged up.

After greeting the old farmer for a few words, he clarified his identity by the way, and after clarifying his identity, Xiao Chusu took the opportunity to move his gaze to the place where the bear was in charge. A moment ago, there was a dignified smile on his face, but when his eyes moved from the old farmer's body to the place where the bear was in charge, the smile on Xiao Chu's face was obviously a lot colder.

Nodding at the bear master, Xiao Chu said in a suffrage of words: "Didn't the bear master say it, hearing is false, seeing is believing, since this is the case, then I invited the old farmer to come to inquire about the Xiong Qing, and I won't mind if I want to come to the bear master." ”

Mind, now the bear is in charge, and I'm afraid it won't help. Xiao Chusu didn't plan to give him time to prepare a countermeasure, as early as when she went to Xiong Mansion, she had already sent someone to prepare everything, which was a plan that the old tea farmer had in front of him. Looking at the bear master, his eyes were sharp, and after staring at the person who stepped back to the top of the chair, Xiao Chu sat down with heavy eyes, and then asked.

"I remember the old man once said that after a few years of reading, he also knew some words. Even if you are literate, you have to understand this account for the elderly. Firefly, help me get this account and give it to the old man, and I bother him to stop by to take a look. ”

After the words fell, he handed over the accounts that were placed on the desk and written by Chief Xiong with a pen, and Firefly took the accounts to the old farmer's side and presented them with both hands.

After taking the accounts, I opened them and looked at them, although I didn't know what the eldest lady meant, but the old farmer still looked at it seriously. The accounts are listed in detail, one by one, even if the old farmer does not understand the doorway in the account, but what is the meaning of the account, the old farmer is also clear after looking at it. The more he looked, the more ugly his face became, and after seeing the old farmer's gradually ugly complexion, Xiao Chu said.

"Four taels of silver in a month, the degree of food and clothing has to be calculated separately, even if it is the second child in the running hall in a famous restaurant in Kyoto, the silver in January is only seven or eight taels. The cost of Kyoto can be compared with Yuanzhou, this tea farmer needs four taels of silver a month, and this lion's mouth is really big enough. For the sake of the harvest of new tea and the operation of the tea workshop, the tea farmers had no choice but to rely on those arrogant and unreasonable farmers every year. Who knows that this Diao farmer is really hateful, he doesn't know how to restrain the sweetness he tasted once, but he is a year after a year, and the salary in January last year was just four taels, and this year it actually rose by one percent in one breath, so he asked for five taels of money and silver in January. ”

Xiao Chu's words were not fast, and his tone seemed to be explaining something that had nothing to do with everyone. This slow elaboration said the matter of wages word by word, and every word sounded like standing here with the bear master, reprimanding the tea farmers for being arrogant, but in fact, it deeply pierced the old farmer's heart. The account in his hand, that is the account handed to the Xiao family in Kyoto after being written by the bear master.

The Xiao family, who are far away in Kyoto, use this account every year to distribute the wages and all the food, clothing and supplements needed by the tea farmers in their eyes.

Five taels of silver a month, this account says that the tea farmers need five taels of silver a month, but how much silver taels do they really have? Looking at the detailed accounts in his hand, the old farmer's heart was clear, especially after listening to Xiao Chusu's words that were suspected of reprimanding them, the old farmer's fire that had been suppressed for many years burned even more vigorously.

The account in his hand was in danger of being torn open by the old farmer, and he clung to this book, because of his anger, the green tendons that had been weathered for a long time and only had a layer of skin wrapped in skin burst out directly from under the skin. Staring at the bear with fierce eyes, his eyes were full of pain, as if he wanted to pounce on him and bite the blood vessels in his neck, gnawing at the flesh and blood of this vicious man. Hated and angry, glaring fiercely, the old farmer looked at the bear master and said angrily.

"Five taels of silver a month, Master Xiong, you have the face to say that you gave us tea farmers five taels of silver a month. If there are five taels of silver this month, how can we live so miserably, how can the son of the old Li family still not be able to ask for a daughter-in-law, how can the old Lin family only sell their own flesh and blood because they can't afford to raise so many children, and how can the old Wang family not be able to afford a midwife because they don't have any money in hand, and finally watch their daughter-in-law die in childbirth in bed, with one body and two lives. ”

These are the real days of tea farmers, the days that haunt them like nightmares.

There was no money, no silver taels, not even enough rice and silver to feed the family. Every day, they are counting the rice money with copper plates, and everything has to be carefully calculated, for fear that if they are not careful, there will be no rice to remove from the pot in the next few days.

has been living such a life, hating all the time, but hating helplessly. Because the bear master said that this is the meaning of the eldest lady of Kyoto, and the eldest lady wants them to do this, so they can only do this, because that is the intention of the head of the Kyoto family, Kyoto far away in the sky. But now? The account at hand made everything clear, and it also ignited the hatred that had been pent up for years.

Miss Kyoto has never been harsh, and she even gave a lot of money! But what about the money? But none of the copper plates were in their pockets, and all of them were called to this person who raised his eyes and saw that he was a fake benevolent and righteous all day long, and sighed that he was hired by others, and everything was not taken by his own bear master.

Their pain, Master Xiong is not ignorant of it, but he uses their pain as a pleasure and a tool to swallow money, and swallows a large amount of money to swallow the wages that the Xiao family gave to the tea farmers in Yuanzhou.

This man has deceived them for many years, and has deceived them for many years, treating their lives as a matter of mustard. After looking at the face of the head of the bear, after looking at the disgusting face, the old farmer, who could still restrain a little bit, finally couldn't suppress the anger surging in his heart, pointed at his face and shouted directly.

"You ruthless person, how can there be such a vicious person as you in this world, five taels of silver, you actually said that the salary we ask for a month is five taels. When we ask for five taels of silver, it is only 600 wen a month, a mere 600 wen. Except for these 600 copper plates, we haven't even touched the others. Even the two meals a day in the busy season of tea picking have to be paid by ourselves, five cents a day, those few rotten nests and a night of muddy soup, you will ask us for five dollars of copper and silver in one day. Every copper plate, we finally earned the copper plate in our hands, and you all bothered to pull it out of our hands. But on this account, not only did it say that our monthly salary was five taels, but even the meals we ate every day and the rest of you were marked one by one, and we all asked the eldest lady for a sum of silver. You're a man...... You're ...... Simply ......"

For this kind of greedy and ruthless master, the old farmer really didn't know what vicious words to use to describe this person, and he was so angry that he couldn't breathe, if it wasn't for Xiang Zhu who saw the old farmer who was in a hurry to help the old farmer, the old farmer who was angry and anxious might fall headlong. The old farmer is old, and this anger has accumulated for many years, if he can't get up in one breath, it will be troublesome, so he motioned to Xiangzhu to help the old farmer sit down on the side, and pointed to Xiao Huan, and sent the tea that the third young master had not touched to the old farmer first.

After taking the tea, he took a sip and took a slight breath, and the old farmer took a breath before slowing down.

For the accusation of Xiong Zhu, it is a resentment accumulated over many years, and the anger that has been accumulated for many years by the old farmer is also considered to be vented. But the bear master is there, the old farmer's accusations are intolerable to him, his face is already dark, looking at the old farmer who is panting one after another, the bear boss said with a dark face.

"You Diao Min, you dare to talk nonsense in front of the eldest lady, this five taels of silver a month is obviously what you want, when did it become six hundred wen a month? Don't you want to accuse me of saying that the rest of the silver is greedy? ”

"You person, you still want to quibble, this eldest lady has personally entered the tea garden, what kind of life are we tea farmers, you didn't see it as the eldest lady. Do you still want to quibble, and you still want to bully the eldest lady. Finally breathed a sigh of relief, and asked the bear master to scold, and the old farmer almost blocked himself again.

He was so angry that his hands and feet trembled, but when he looked at the bear master, in addition to his extremely dark face, he was actually angry, and his face was full of anger that made people frame. With both hands in a salute to Xiao Chu, Director Xiong said.

"Miss, I was wronged, the eldest lady has just arrived, even if she stays in the tea field for a few days, just a few days, the eldest lady doesn't know how powerful this farmer is. The tea fields are full of these unscrupulous tea farmers, how can the eldest lady believe what they say and do. ”

"You...... You ......" pointed to the bear master, and the old farmer turned his back in one breath, calling Xiang Zhu not to pat him on the back, and calling the old man to let him suppress the anger in his heart.

has the courage to be so greedy, I don't know what his face is, but Xiao Chuxuan really didn't expect that this bear master would be shameless to such a field. At that moment, everyone laughed, raised their heads and glanced at the zenith, and then snorted, Xiao Chuxuan looked at the bear master and said: "According to what you say, everything I saw in the tea field was deliberately done by Diao Nong, and deliberately put together a scene, just to frame you?" ”

"Lady Mingcha."

Xiao Chu's words fell, and the bear master immediately responded, and the old farmer was afraid that the eldest lady would believe this person's nonsense, and shouted vigorously on the side, "I can't believe this wicked man's words." Finally, there is a reason, the old farmer is really a little bit of the heart of longing, but the side of the bamboo, gently patted the old farmer's shoulder to signal him not to worry, the eldest lady will give a satisfactory explanation.

The old farmer's plea, Xiao Chushu didn't respond to a word, but looked at the bear who bowed his head. After staring at it for a while, the depressed atmosphere made people's hearts sink and fall, Xiao Chu didn't open his mouth and just watched, and the people in this room naturally didn't dare to make a sound first to stir up the weirdness of the sinking, that is, when the atmosphere was condensed to the extreme, everyone listened to Xiao Chu and said.

"Deliberately put together to make a show just to show me, framing the bear master, I'm really surprised about this, what did our bear master do, let hundreds of people go to great lengths to join forces to make fire, just to trick me into falsely accusing you. Is it because of the bullying daughter of the bear, or the daughter-in-law of other people's families, or did something harmful, that attracted such resentment? ”

The three possibilities that Xiao Chusu said in a row all need to bear the criminal responsibility, and they must not be casually nonsense. After listening to Xiao Chuyu's smiling words, Master Xiong's face became even more ugly, and when Director Xiong opened his mouth and prepared to reply. Xiao Chusu, who was in the room, had no intention of stopping, and snorted coldly, Xiao Chusu continued.

"It's that these people really deliberately gang up to trick me, then I can't figure it out even more, I left Beijing and came to Yuanzhou, and I don't even know what is going on with Xiong, how do these Diao farmers know? Isn't this Diao Min not only doing something in the fields, but even being able to get a glimpse of the opportunity, one step earlier, I knew that Miss I had nothing to do and it was difficult to find it in Beijing. ”

Strange people, there must be a root cause and a prescient, something that the superiors don't know, but the tea farmers working at the bottom of this district can be clear first. If this is the case, Xiao Chu really re-examined whether this bear is not as good as some tea farmers who work hard in addition to people's greed.

Xiao Chu's words, Master Xiong paused and didn't know how to respond, and wrenched his mind and thought about it. And Xiao Chusu, who was sitting on it, had those eyes glued to the face of Chief Xiong from beginning to end, and she saw every frown on her face.

Don't move, don't move, just look at it like this, she wants to see what kind of tricks this rat with a rotten heart can play. (To be continued.) )
