In the face of Sun Chen's enthusiasm, Yang Zixi was a little surprised. She thought that after the last incident, Sun Lichang had a prejudice against her, but she didn't expect the other party to rush up to pat her ass?

What scholarly background? She didn't know when she was hanging up with the scholarly door.

"Mrs. Sun is polite, this is my younger brother, Zidui." Afraid that the little guy would be displeased, Yang Zixi hurriedly changed the topic, "I don't know if the captain is at home?" Zixi took the liberty to come to the door this time, but he had something to ask. ”

"At home! At home! Pulling Yang Zixi into the courtyard quickly, Sun shouted inside, "Old man! Miss Yang is here! ”

Twilight followed behind, squinting her eyes, and her little face was stretched long, Peugeot? Hum! How dare you say that the master looks like a Peugeot? Fish-lipped humans can lie down and die......

Stepping into the front hall of Sun Lichang's house, Yang Zixi almost didn't laugh. I saw that the front of the open house learned from the rich and noble people to make a screen, separated half of the room to make a hall, and equipped with two chairs and a desk, plus bottles, mirrors and other auspicious things. It's just that these two chairs come from different places, one is rosewood, the other is wenge, although they are both good objects, but they are not a pair, and they are a bit nondescript in one place.

Sun Lichang was sitting on the wenge chair with his feet crossed on a small stool, and his second son, Sun Yaoyi, was filling him with cigarettes. Seeing Yang Zixi coming, he didn't squeak, only waved his hand and motioned for Yang Zixi to sit down.

Yang Zixi looked left and right, didn't see the chair next to him, and could only pull Zidui to sit down on the rosewood chair.

Sun Lichang didn't speak first, as if he was just waiting for his son to fill the cigarette. Yang Zixi didn't take the lead in speaking.

Chen brought tea and sent it to Yang Zixi. said with a smile: "This is a good tea brought from the city, and my brother works in the yamen." The prefect rewarded him. ”

Yang Zixi took the tea and thanked him. I laughed in my heart. This couple is very interesting, one is in a hurry, the other is lukewarm, it seems to be white and red-faced, with a match?

Sun Lichang took the dry cigarette handed by his son, took two puffs, and lit the fire: "What else has fallen about the last land deed?" ”

"It's all done." Yang Zixi said very simply, "I'm here this time for side business." ”

"Oh? And for what? ”

Yang Zixi didn't bother to make a detour with him, so he just said straight to the point: "I have already filled in the well in the backyard of the house." Nowadays, water has to be picked from the river, and it is very troublesome, so I wonder if I can open a canal to divert water from there? ”

The old man did not answer immediately, but only spat out a cigarette and coughed. Sun Yaoyi was busy beating his father's back and wiping his chest, as if he was about to hang up out of breath.

In fact, Yang Zixi knows very well, is this old man in good health? I still want to do it with Chen Popi.

"It's not easy to do." After the old man took a breath, he said slowly, "First, the water of the river is used to irrigate the fertile fields. The fields are the lives of our croppers, and opening canals to divert water is our lives, how can we be arbitrary? Second, to open a canal, you have to occupy an area, and the land in this village is owned by the owner. Every inch of one side is ancestral property, how can it be arbitrary? Thirdly, it is a rule for people to share in the riverway village, and no one has tried to make it convenient over the years. Introduce a passage from the door of the house, and this case will be out of control as soon as it is opened. How can it be casual? ”

The three of them smashed down with the ancestral law at will, but it was very stiff. Yang Zixi frowned, and was just about to speak, but Chen preemptively said, "Oops! I said old man! Don't take a bite out of the rules! The so-called rules are dead, people are alive, and no one has another ...... What's the other way? ”

Son Sun Yaoyi hurriedly picked up and said: "Find another way!" ”

"That's right! Take a different path! Chen said, "Everyone Miss Yang has come to the door, so you can't just say that you are dead in three sentences, right?" ”

Yang Zixi raised his eyebrows, and said in his heart, what kind of drama is this husband and wife playing?

"You woman knows a fart!" Old man Sun smashed his mouth black with a puff of cigarette foam, "This matter is not our family's business, how can I talk to the people in the village?" ”

When Yang Zixi heard this, he understood that Old Man Sun's words were waiting here! The so-called opening up with the people in the village is to ask for benefits, and the so-called benefits are nothing more than silver.

Sun Dewang really had such a thought. On that day, he looked at Yang Zixi and his party with a gray face and tattered clothes, thinking that it was profitable to sell a broken house for one hundred taels, but he didn't expect that Yang Zixi would spend a lot of money to renovate the house next, and a batch of things were transported to the foot of the mountain, which showed that he was a wealthy family, so he regretted not being at the beginning. However, for the sake of the bones, he has been confused by Chen Popi recently, and there is no reason to raise the price again, and when he saw Yang Zixi's post yesterday, he remembered that if there was something to discuss, he would have to ask for a sky-high price.

He specially instructed his mother-in-law, let her sing with a white face, sing with a red face by herself, first say the things in difficulty, how difficult it is, how not to do it, and then let the mother-in-law help persuade her back, and let Yang Zixi know that everything has a price, and it can't be done if the money is not in place.

Therefore, early this morning, the Chen family stood at the door of the house, waiting for Yang Zixi to come to the door, but he didn't expect that after noon, he would look forward to the people.

The couple played and sang to themselves, and they had already talked about the silver.

“…… Twenty households in the village, involving the water supply of each family's field, how can they have to make up two taels of silver a year, right? It's all cheap, and I have to stick it with my old face to persuade it; If you have an area of land, if you pass by the door of another family, you have to wear at least five families' houses, and you don't want to talk about it, how can I negotiate if I raise the price? So if you want to save trouble, it's best to pass through the entrance of the ancestral hall. However, the ditch at the entrance of the ancestral hall moved the feng shui in front of the ancestors, so I had to invite some Taoist monks to do the practice, so as not to leave the ancestors complaining, which was the cost of twenty or thirty taels. If there is less silver, every family will spend a little money to open a canal at will in the future, and I don't have to do it here. ”

"So before and after, Sun Lichang means that it will cost at least seventy or eighty taels of silver?" Yang Zixi said with a calm face.

"No, you're wrong." Old man Sun shook his head, took a cigarette gun and knocked on the copper basin, "It's eighty taels a year, and in a drought year, it may not be possible to give water." ”

It's dark! It's so dark! Eighty taels a year? If you are short of water, you have to cut off? It's not a water bill! It's just a gas charge! I didn't draw blood like this!

Yang Zixi smiled coldly, and just as he was about to speak, he heard Zi Du snort coldly: "Open the silver, close the silver, and point to the loan shark?" No need to talk about it! Let's go. ”

Sun Lichang pursed his lips, put away the greed in his eyes, and only lowered his head to smoke, but Chen smiled and said: "Although Brother Ling is young, he knows a lot!" Do you know about usury? My old man doesn't mean to squeeze your silver, all the entries are open to Miss Yang, and it's not our family that collects money from you, and the money collected is not used to appease the villagers? If you want me to say, this precedent and breaking the rules is always difficult to do, and the price to pay is not small. If you really don't have any money, then you have to carry water from the river every day, don't you say? After saying that, his eyes stayed on Yang Zixi, dripping and turning, as if he wanted to see how much oil and water she had hidden.

You look at the husband and wife, and you don't give love to it; One is for your own good, or don't spend money, singing and harmonizing is very familiar. Yang Zixi's heart was on fire, she knew before she came that she was afraid that this matter would not be able to be done without money, but she didn't expect Sun Dewang to have such a big appetite.

"Forget it, since that's the case, I'll listen to my wife's words, and I'll carry a load of water and drink it." She stood up, owed, and before the couple could speak again, she went out with Zidui.

The Sun family and his wife were dumbfounded and stupid, what happened? After asking for a sky-high price, shouldn't you pay it back on the spot? Why don't you talk about it and leave? Their husband and wife have just begun to sing and harmonize!

"Phew! How rich I must be! That's it. Chan spat at her back.

Sun Dewang was stunned for a moment, picked up the pipe again and smoked violently, then highlighted a series of smoke rings, and said slowly: "Don't worry, you just wait and see, she will turn back after all." (To be continued......)
