Tang Hu's answer surprised Qiduo's family.

Everyone stopped their chopsticks to look at Tang Hu.

"Uncle Tang, the Lin family's family affairs have been withdrawn, hasn't the dowry been withdrawn?" Qiduo asked the doubts in everyone's hearts.

"The silver and those little things were taken back, but only the fifty acres of land were not taken back." Tang Hu replied.

"For what? Fifty acres of fertile land is worth a lot of silver, how can Master Lin be so generous, is there anything greasy in this? Qiduo asked.

She didn't forget what Tang Hu said on the day of her retirement, 'Those dowries are just glamorous on the surface, but in fact, they are inside...... Hehe, that's not the case at all. ’

At that time, I asked Tang Hu what he meant, but he didn't want to say it clearly, so she became suspicious.

However, at that time, I thought that no matter whether the dowry was glamorous or not, it had returned to the Lin family anyway, and it had nothing to do with the Tan family, so I didn't think about it anymore.

But they never thought that the fifty acres of land deed was still in the hands of Old Man Tan and them.

Tan Dejin thought that when he saw Old Man Tan and them before, everyone's emotions were not too high, and it seemed that something was wrong.

He was also anxious, and hurriedly asked, "Brother, what the hell is going on, can you tell me?" ”

"In fact, there is nothing that cannot be said, as long as you take the land deed and go to Hulin Town to ask, everyone knows that the fifty acres of Ludao are not good land at all, but one by one the water puddles, which can neither grow rice, nor cotton and wheat." Tang Hu said.

After Tang Hu's explanation, the Qiduo family learned that the Lin family's 50 acres of so-called fertile land was actually a deserted field on the outskirts of Hulin Town.

I don't know how many years it has been abandoned, and I can't see what it looked like at the beginning. Weed. Shrub. Stones, all sorts of messes.

There are also many puddles between the overgrown weeds, where most of the garbage is dumped in Hulin Town, and flies and mosquitoes are littered all year round, and the smell is unbearable.

This land was originally a barren land, which belonged to the official family.

Lin Fugui married his second wife at that time, and his spirit became a little more normal. The town of Hulin was pulling him out for a drink and tricking him into buying the land.

After Lin Laosi found out, he went to Lizheng and asked for the silver to be returned.

It happened that Lin Fugui fell ill again and beat his second wife to death, and Li Zheng threatened him with this matter, forcing Lin Laosi to accept the deal.

This land didn't cost much silver, but not only could it not grow things to create benefits, but it also had to pay taxes every year, and one bucket of rice per mu per quarter. Every year, according to two crops of rice, that is, two buckets of rice per mu. Fifty acres a year is ten stone meters.

Ten stone meters is not too much for Lin Laosi, but after all, it is an additional expense, and it is useless.

If you want to turn this wasteland into fertile land, you have to spend a lot of money to reclaim it, and the Lin family has no shortage of fertile land, so he is not willing to spend any more money to remediate this land.

According to the old man in the town, the field was abandoned because there were no crops.

He was very worried that after the rectification, what would happen if something came out, and the silver would not be wasted.

I had to continue to let it go unduly.

Later, he had an idea and used them as a dowry to fool people, which made people tempted and moved, and willingly married his daughter.

In this way, not only did he marry a daughter-in-law for his son, but he also threw this hot potato out of the water, killing two birds with one stone, what a good thing.

It's just that Lin Fugui's third daughter-in-law's maiden home is not far from Hulin Town, and she didn't fall for it.

Only Tan Deyin and the Zhao family believed Mrs. Liu, and took the grass as a treasure, but they lost three hundred taels of silver in vain.

For Lin Laosi, whether it is marrying or losing money, it is a business that is sure to make money without losing money!

As for the two shops mentioned above, they are just two dilapidated houses in the suburbs, which cannot be used as shops at all.

After listening to Tang Hu's words, Qiduo nodded in a trance, and now he finally knew that when he was in Hulin Town last time, everyone said that Lin Laosi was sour and treacherous, and today he finally had a long experience.

He took advantage of the greed of men, and not only threw away the useless field, but made three hundred pieces of silver in vain without spending a penny, and this business was really wonderful.

As for Old Man Tan and their deception, Qiduo thinks that Lin Laosi can't be blamed for his treachery, and he should blame Old Man Tan for being greedy.

If you hadn't taken advantage of this when you had quit Tang Hu at the beginning, wouldn't it have been a matter of returning the land deed to him, where would there be today's things.

When the Lin family came to hire, they had replaced all the land deeds with the names of Old Man Tan and Tan Deyin, and since then, this field has been in their names.

When you retire, you should go and change the name on the deed to Lin Laosi.

Ten stone rice is a drop in the bucket for Lin Laosi, but for the Tan family, it is not a small amount, the market price of one stone of rice is about two or three taels, if there is a famine, it will be higher, and a year will lose dozens of taels of silver in vain.

It's really a recipe for stealing chickens, knocking out the front teeth and swallowing it in the stomach!

Qiduo sighed in his heart.

Looking at the stunned look on the faces of Qiduo's family, Tang Hu said to Tan Dejin apologetically, "Big brother, I'm sorry, I was a little angry because I heard Brother Baozi say that it was the old lady who calculated Miss Erxia, so I didn't say it to you."

And this was also Lin Laosi's instructions at the beginning, this matter must not be said, entrusted by others, loyal to people, although Lin Laosi is not a good person, but I was his family's hired worker after all, I can't be a traitor, and I ask my eldest brother to understand. ”

Seven flowers don't blame Tang Hu.

When I met Tang Hu for the first time, he was able to help his family in Tan Debao's face, which was enough to save face.

He was right, he couldn't be a traitor, if he had betrayed Lin Laosi at the beginning, he might still look down on him and dare not reuse him.

Thinking that if there is something important to ask him to do in the future, and the other party happens to be his acquaintance, wouldn't he also sell himself, how terrible it is.

Tan Dejin and Xu are both sensible people, and their thoughts are similar to Qiduo.

"Brother, you are serious, how can I blame you, this matter has nothing to do with you. If you do things for Master Lin, you have to do things well, which is your original duty. How can it be against his will.

This happened to my mom and dad. In fact, they blame themselves for being too ...... Hi. No one can complain. Tan Dejin Zhengse said to Tang Hu.

"That's right, Uncle Tang, we are grateful that you have told us the truth now. After this experience, we have come to understand more that people cannot be greedy, and at any time, we cannot believe that pies will fall from the sky, and we will be more careful in everything we do in the future.

Uncle Tang, hurry up and eat. The dish is about to get cold. Qiduo also said sincerely.

Xu also nodded, "Yes, Uncle Tang, we can still tell who is right and who is wrong." The matter of the Lin family, if it wasn't for your help, where could it be solved so smoothly, and we will always remember this kindness.

As for the rest, it has nothing to do with you, and you can't take it on yourself. ”

Tang Hu saw Qiduo, and they were all sincere. They all made a lot of sense, not like blaming him. Peace of mind.

But he still said, "Big brother, now the old man and the old lady should already know about the field, and I don't know how they will deal with it." If you want to sell that field, it's almost impossible. ”

Qiduo squinted and smiled, "Uncle Tang, don't worry, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, maybe my grandmother will come up with a good way, hehe." ”

In fact, she knew that Old Man Tan and the Zhao family definitely didn't have any good ideas to think of.

No matter what, this is called self-inflicted, and you will know how to calculate and take advantage of it all day long, and now you will be planted in the pit, which can be regarded as a big lesson, and you should not act so rashly in the future.

Tang Hu nodded, this matter was indeed not something he could handle, and he lowered his head and continued to eat.

After dinner and a short rest, Tang Hu took Tang Yuan'er to Luhuapo.

Tan Decai and San Lang also had dinner and were ready to go out.

"The third child, San Lang, you have to cheer up at night and take a good look at the old family's lotus pond, can you have any stubble, do you know the way?" Old man Tan De told carefully.

"Know, Grandpa." Saburo Ying.

Tan Decai also nodded, "Dad, don't worry, it's not for the boss, even if it's for Shiro, I can't let those lotus roots have trouble." ”

"Okay, then let's go quickly, bring two more quilts, it's cold at night." Old Man Tan said with concern.

Yang listened, pursed the corners of his mouth, and said, "Dad, you are really good to the uncle's family, let San Lang pull lotus root for their family for free during the day, and don't let San Lang rest for a while at night, and let San Lang go to guard the pond for their family, I don't know if the uncle will receive this love." ”

The tone is sour.

Old Man Tan immediately glared at her fiercely, "Second daughter-in-law, how can you talk like this, although the family is separated, but the eldest is also our Tan family, and now he is in difficulty, we have to help those who should be helped." Otherwise, wouldn't that make the Zhuang Shangren laugh, the boss is a good one, and he won't lose everyone. ”

It was not said that there was a wage for the vigil.

Yang quietly rolled his eyes, and then returned to the room with some boredom.

Old Man Tan waved his hand, and Tan Decai and San Lang left the courtyard after responding.

As soon as they arrived at the door, the father of Wang Xiaodao and Tan Sen came in a hurry.

"Third child, where are you going?" Tamsyn's father asked.

"Show me the lotus pond." Tan Decai hung his head.

"That's right, we're also going to go over, and we're thinking of calling you, that together." Tamsen's father said immediately.

Wang Xiaodao and Tan Sen were beaten yesterday, and after returning home, they were cleaned up by their families, and now they are recuperating at home.

Their family members all remembered the agreement in the contract, and they were afraid that something would happen to the lotus root of the Qiduo family, so they made an appointment to go over to help watch the lotus pond.

There were a lot of people, and everyone was bolder, so Tan Decai immediately nodded in response.

San Lang drove the ox cart and drove Tan Decai, Tang Hu and his son, Wang Xiaodao and Tan Sen's father to Luhuapo.

When he arrived at Luhuapo, Tan Debao looked at the extra Wang Xiaodao and Tan Sen's father, and after being surprised, he was secretly happy, the method of the seven girls is really useful, they really came to help watch the lotus pond.

It's going to be a lively night.

Tang Hu handed the food box to Tan Debao, and inside was a hot meal.

In addition to the dishes on the dinner table in the evening, Qiduo took into account Tan Debao's hard work and specially made an extra fragrant lotus root cake for him, with some chopped bacon diced in it.

It's delicious and anti-hunger.

There is also a small pot of wine, about two taels, which will not make him drunk, but also satisfy his cravings.

"This wine must have been filled by seven girls, hehe." Tan Debao took the flask and smiled.

He rarely drinks alcohol on weekdays, but as soon as he does, he will drink stupidly and get drunk several times.

Qiduo persuaded him many times for this reason, asking him to drink less every time, saying that drunkenness hurts his body.

Now there are only two taels in the jug, so I won't get drunk.

Tan Dejin looked at the food and wine, pursed his lips, lifted the lid, and ate up.

On the Qiduo family's side, the family did not sleep, sitting around the table and discussing major matters. (To be continued......)
