Chapter 135: Rent Increase
His eyes swept coldly over Uncle Wang, and Su Wen said with a regretful face: "Uncle Wang, how many years have you been in charge, and now you are so unclear, it really disappoints me." ”
Hearing her say this, the expression on Uncle Zhuangtou's face was even more uncomfortable. The reason why he did this was actually to fight for more benefits for the villagers. If it weren't for Su Wen's youth, he wouldn't have taken the lead in doing such a thing. I never thought that he would look away this time.
After criticizing Uncle Zhuangtou, Su Wen immediately turned his head to face the first person who asked for a rent reduction just now, and said indifferently: "There were not a few people who contracted the wind cold last winter, but as far as I know, there are really few who have left the root of the disease. Don't forget, I'm a doctor. ”
Being so accused by her, the man lowered his head in shame. When he said that, he was actually just trying to win some sympathy, but he happened to hit the muzzle of the gun. He was looking for an excuse to reduce the rent before, but for a while he forgot the background of Huajia Pharmaceutical, so he told a very unclever lie.
Glancing at him coldly, Su Wen turned his head and continued to look for the next person who asked for a rent reduction. She had a good memory, and she found them one by one, and refuted them.
After exposing the lies of these people one by one, Su Wen showed a cold look on his face, and asked with dissatisfaction: "Touch your conscience and say, our Hua family has despised you for so many years." As long as you are really in trouble at home, why did my grandfather force you to pay rent? ”
was questioned by her so mercilessly, and everyone present was ashamed. Over the years, the Hua family has really been kind to them, and they have never deliberately made things difficult.
Compared with the Hua family, other landlords are not so easy to talk to. Although they all pay the same rent, those families are not as generous as the Hua family...... If they have a problem, they will ignore it. As long as they can't hand over the rent. Those few will send people to forcibly collect rent.
As for how to forcibly collect rent, it depends on what the farmers who owe rent have. If there is an object of value, those people will simply take it. If you don't even have anything of value, you can only pay off your debts with your children.
For the generosity of the Hua family, these tenants were very grateful at first, but then they gradually became accustomed to it. In their opinion, the Hua family did this. In fact, it is more for the accumulation of yin virtue. There's no way, who made all the men in their family die. If you don't learn to accumulate virtue, you may have to go extinct in the future.
With such thoughts, they felt that the Hua family's generosity was deserved. As time went by, not only did they not learn to be grateful, but they gradually became more and more dissatisfied.
In their opinion, the Hua family is already very rich, and there is no need to grab such a small amount of land rent from them. Anyway, the Hua family wants to accumulate yin virtue, so it is better to give up some more benefits. Think of it this way. They started thinking that they shouldn't have moved, and secretly looked for an opportunity to force the Hua family to reduce rent.
It's a pity that although there is only one old lady left in the Hua family, it is an extremely difficult character to deal with. He was both rigid and soft, leaving no room for these tenants to take advantage of.
Unexpectedly, Mrs. Hua finally went last fall. After they got the news. I consciously saw the hope of rent reduction. In their opinion, there are only three women left in the Hua family now, and it is definitely not as easy to deal with the land rent as before. Women are soft-hearted again. As long as they cry a few times, the rent will naturally be reduced.
People are not as good as heaven, how could they have thought that Su Wenhui would be so powerful, but it was a person who couldn't tolerate sand in his eyes. As soon as their lies were pulled out, they were broken one by one, and they were given a solid facelessness.
Seeing the ashamed looks on everyone's faces, Su Wen snorted coldly in his heart, but on the surface, he pretended to be careless and said: "The bullying has come to me, it seems that you don't want to rent our family's land." Anyway, it's not just our family who rents out fields nearby. You don't need to renew your lease this year, so go find someone else's home. ”
Hearing her say this, everyone present panicked all of a sudden. Busy and pleading. One by one, they burst into tears, and they almost didn't pump their mouths.
Seeing their appearance, Su Wen did not back down in the slightest, but said quite insistently: "Uncle Wang, you can prepare, let everyone take out the deed paper for renting the land, and we will cancel the lease business in the future." Our family would rather be deserted, and we will not rent it to others for cultivation in the future. ”
Seeing her resolute attitude, these tenants became even more flustered. They are all old tenants who have followed the Hua family for many years, and of course they are not willing to give up such a good master.
Compared with the panic of the tenants, Uncle Wang of the head of the village still maintained a trace of calm, immediately stood up from the stool, bowed respectfully to Su Wen, and then apologized sincerely: "Miss Su Wen, it was all our fault before, and we shouldn't have been distracted by interests and did something to bully the young master's family." ”
Glancing at him, Su Wen said with a cold attitude: "Everything has been done, what's the use of apologizing now?" Now that I have made up my mind, Uncle Wang doesn't need to say more. ”
Seeing that Su Wen's attitude was still tough, Uncle Zhuangtou Wang showed a determined look on his face, and then said with a resolute voice: "Miss Su Wen, this time it is indeed our fault. In order to express our remorse, we are willing to pay an extra half of the rent every year, and hope that Miss Su Wen will continue to rent land for us to cultivate. ”
Hearing the answer he wanted, the expression on Su Wen's face finally loosened a little, and then his eyes were shining and he asked, "Uncle Wang, what do you mean by everyone?" Don't say yes here, but everyone won't admit it. ”
With a helpless wry smile, Uncle Wang had no choice but to reply respectfully: "If Miss Su asks back, this time it was originally our fault, and this extra half of the rent is a small punishment." Although the old man has no prestige, the big guy will still give a little thin noodles. ”
When Su Wen heard this, he glanced at everyone present with a smile, and at the same time asked in a salty and indifferent manner: "Uncle Wang's words, you have all heard them, is there anyone who is unwilling?" ”
was swept by her gaze, and everyone present lowered their heads in shame. Although they were not very satisfied, they had to pinch their noses and accept it. Kan Su asked now that there is a sense of relaxation, what else do they not understand. If there is no half of the rent, the Hua family's Tian Shiyou** will not be able to continue to rent.
In order to continue to rent the Hua family's high-quality paddy fields, they admitted. There is no way, who makes the Hua family's fields good, and the grain output is much higher than that of others. Even if they remove this half percent, they still earn more than they do in other people's fields.
Seeing their appearance, Su Wen immediately said with a smile on his face: "Okay! Since you don't have any opinions, let's agree on it. Starting this year, your land rent will be more than half of the total. If I dare to make this kind of moth in the future, I will not let it go lightly in the future. ”
Listening to Su Wen's tone, the tenants present secretly breathed a sigh of relief. As long as they are willing to continue to rent land to them, the extra half of the rent is a big deal, and there is always a way to make up for it.
Seeing that they were settled, Su Wen stood up and said with a smile: "The matter of land rent has been decided, so let's stop here today." I will stay here for a few more days, and if you have any questions, you can always come to me. Spring ploughing is coming, so let's get busy. ”
Hearing this, the tenants took their leave. They came with hope, but when they left, they all looked dejected.
Watching the tenants walk out of the small courtyard, Xing'er scolded angrily: "What a group of discontented things, our family's such good conditions for renting land are not satisfied." They don't open their eyes to see, is there a more benevolent landlord than our family within a hundred miles of Yunzhou City? They deserve to pay more rent, and see if they dare next time. ”
Seeing Xing'er's appearance, Su Wenwan smiled, and immediately joked: "With such a big temperament, this is not a good thing." With your straight temper, if you get married in the future, your in-laws don't know how to dislike it. ”
was teased by her, Xing'er's face turned red all of a sudden, and she immediately stomped her feet angrily, and complained with a blushing face: "Miss, you are so bad, you always make fun of slaves." In the future, the slave maid will also learn from the young lady to recruit a son-in-law, so that she will not be disliked by her in-laws, and she will also set rules for other people's mothers every day. ”
Hearing this, Su Wen couldn't help laughing, stretched out his hand and pointed at her little nose, and said jokingly: "You are a good girl, what do you do with me?" ”
As soon as he said those words, Xing'er immediately regretted it. She was really a little carried away this time, and actually talked about the matter of recruiting in front of Su Wen. She was afraid that this would make Su Wen angry, but fortunately, the expected worry did not happen, but she was still shocked into a cold sweat.
Seeing the sweat on Xing'er's forehead, Su Wen was relieved, and immediately said with a smile: "Don't worry, your young lady is not a narrow-minded person." There's nothing wrong with recruiting money, as you said, it's okay to set rules in front of other people's mothers. ”
Hearing her say this, Xing'er was completely relieved. She thought back on Su Wen's performance during this time, and suddenly felt that her young lady really wanted to open it.
To be honest, what Xing'er said before was indeed in her heart. In her opinion, instead of being a daughter-in-law for someone else's family, it is better to recruit a son-in-law. She had heard that those daughters-in-law were all made miserable by their mothers-in-law, and some even lost their lives for it, and their lives were not as good as their wives and young ladies.
Pressing this thought, Xing'er remembered the previous experience of Su Wenzhi fighting tenants, and immediately said with admiration in her eyes: "Miss, you are really amazing." Just say a few words, and you're ashamed of what they say. ”
Stretching out his hand and nodding Xing'er's forehead, Su Wen said with a smile: "To achieve such a good effect, the most important thing is our family's Tian Hao." If the grain yield of our paddy fields was low, these tenants would have subleased other people's fields long ago, how could they be so reluctant to be held in my hands. ”
