Chapter 58: I can't get along with renting land
Gu Jinxiu turned to the crowd at the door: "Everyone, Li Goudan borrowed money from some of you last year, and now there are still twenty taels of silver money left to be repaid, in order to prevent everyone's hard-earned money from going down the drain, I went to the county seat to find Li Goudan to ask for money." ”
"A few days ago, I went to him to ask for money, I thought he would give me the money for the sake of the villagers, but I didn't know that he was a scoundrel."
"He had already sold the grocery store, but he turned around and tricked me into making a contract with him, and he mortgaged the grocery store and the goods in it to me as twenty taels."
"When I found out that I had been tricked into looking for him, he said he would give me the grocery store when he opened it again."
After listening to Gu Jinxiu's story, some people were disappointed, and some people started Gu Jinxiu's idea, thinking that she had just gotten fifty taels of silver, and they all asked her to pay back the money.
Listening to the noisy words, Gu Jinxiu learned everyone's thoughts, smiled faintly, waved his hand, signaled everyone to be quiet, and said: "I will return the twenty taels of silver to the big guy today, and please help me remember that Li Goudan still owes me a grocery store." ”
As soon as her words fell, everyone was very happy, and at the same time said that they would help her remember it.
Gu Jinxiu took out twenty taels from the money bag and handed it to the old man of the Gu three clan: "Uncle, I still have something, and the debt of these twenty taels will bother you to help." ”
Gu Sanclan elder nodded and took the silver, "You go and get busy, I will handle this matter." ”
"Good!"
Gu Jinxiu turned to face everyone: "You can now take the contract to find your uncle and grandfather to get the silver, and if you get the silver, tear up the contract." ”
After that, she didn't manage the matter anymore.
Twenty taels of silver have already been taken out, and even if she encounters any more problems, she will not care anymore.
Gu Jinxiu raised her feet to leave, but was stopped by Gu Qingyun's words.
Gu Qingyun asked, "Nephew Jinhao, where is my money?" ”
Gu Jinxiu knew what Gu Qingyun meant, and pretended to be stupid and said, "What money?" ”
Gu Qingyun asked rhetorically: "Shouldn't I have to come back the money I paid for Li Goudan?" ”
"Oh, that's it!" Gu Jinxiu said with a smile: "I am only responsible for asking for debts, as for your silver, you should go to Li Goudan yourself, after all, you are the guarantor, not the creditor, right?" Brother-in-law. ”
At this time, Gu Qingyun knew why Gu Jinxiu would say something like that that day, it was calculated early in the morning!
Now he had to suffer this loss.
Gu Jinxiu didn't care what Gu Qingyun thought, she turned around and left here.
Since the end of the day, the villagers have been busy with spring ploughing, and there are fewer things to do in the village.
Gu Jinxiu's days became quiet and leisurely.
I wanted to do a washing three for my nephew, but He felt that the dog was too small to stand the trouble, so he didn't do a washing three.
And the family's Ai Ye Baba business, she completely handed it over to the He family, and did not interfere at all.
She kept a daily eye on the grain in the fields, taught the villagers how to use her new farming tools, and hired ten people to help cultivate the fields.
It's like a mess!
But only about five days later, Murakami had another accident.
Gu Jinxiu felt that God just couldn't see her living in peace, so she had to find something to do for her.
At this time, she was sitting on the ridge and chatting with the old village chief of Huangjia Village.
Gu Jinxiu asked: "Village Chief Huang, do you say that this Zhao family master enclosed the land?" ”
The Zhao family was arrested for the enclosure.
In the Eastern Xuan Kingdom, the enclosure was a barbaric plunder, and there was a land enclosure during the period of the first emperor, which caused more than 10,000 people to go bankrupt, lose their jobs, and be displaced.
And now it takes a lot of effort to stop the wanton land grabbing.
This averted a civil war.
Is the Zhao family defying the law now?
According to her last meeting with Master Zhao, although Master Zhao has the shrewd calculations of a businessman, it can be seen from his words and deeds that he does not care much about money and fame.
Village Chief Huang patted the mud on his trouser legs, looked into the distance and said helplessly: "Maybe it's really like this." ”
Master Zhao is a good person and can treat them poor.
And his youngest son has always looked down on them mud legs.
If it weren't for Master Zhao, I don't know how much the rent would be raised!
Gu Jinxiu frowned, she didn't really care about Master Zhao's enclosure.
She is now worried about the villagers renting land.
The rent of the villagers has been paid, and now because of the accident of the Zhao family, the land has been taken back by the government, aren't they just empty of bamboo baskets!
Gu Jinxiu cut off her thoughts, chatted with the old man for a few words, inquired about the situation of the Zhao family, and then walked to the village of the third surname.
……
"The village chief hurriedly handed over the Lin family and let the Lin family remarry."
"The village chief quickly returned the money to us, and Master Huang said that as long as the Lin family married his eldest son, he would rent the land to us."
“……”
Gu Jinxiu stood outside the crowd and saw the door of the surrounded house, someone was lying on the wall, as if he was about to climb over the wall, and someone was slapping the courtyard door fiercely, as if he was going to smash the door...... Hearing the persecution of the villagers again, Gu Jinxiu's face gradually became cold.
She could understand that everyone came to her to negotiate a settlement of the land lease for their livelihood, but she was very annoyed by such a robber-like behavior.
She Gu Jinxiu doesn't owe everyone anything!
I remember that when everyone rented the cheap rented land of the Zhao family, their faces were full of smiles, and their words were full of gratitude.
Now I forget what happened when something happens.
Although she found the owner of the leased land, it is everyone's choice whether to rent the land or not.
If there is no such thing, then when the harvest comes, everyone will not have a good harvest, will they all come to her to ask for subsidies!
After thinking about it, Gu Jinxiu said loudly: "I will get the rent you want back, but it is absolutely impossible to ask the Lin family to remarry, she has already set up a female household, and you have no right to force her, if you don't believe it, we will see you in the government." ”
Although Gu Jinxiu really wanted to care about the life and death of these people, she didn't want to see someone who couldn't eat enough and starved to the bone, and she didn't want to have a scene of pawning wives and selling children in the harvest season......
It turned out that her heart could never become cold, Gu Jinxiu smiled self-deprecatingly.
But she still adheres to her bottom line, and she must not harm the interests of others because of her own interests.
Gu Jinxiu glanced at the crowd and said coldly: "Please leave my house now, if you don't leave, don't come to me, the village head, if you have something in the future." ”
When everyone heard Gu Jinxiu's words, they looked at the people on the left and right, and muttered to each other for a while, some people left, some people still stood there without moving, and some people swayed.
Gu Jinxiu watched everyone's movements for a while, raised her feet and walked home.
Seeing the closed courtyard gate, Gu Jinxiu shouted, "Ling'er open the door." ”
When Gao Ling'er heard this, the worry in her heart suddenly disappeared, and she ran to open the courtyard door.
"Brother Jinhao, you're finally back."
Gu Jinxiu nodded, raised her feet and walked into the gate of the courtyard, and saw someone following behind her, so she closed the door with a "bang".
"Brother Jin Hao, is this okay?"
"It's fine."
Seeing the pale Lin standing at the door of the kitchen, Gu Jinxiu said: "There is a saying in the world that a mother is strong, you are already a woman, so why be afraid!" ”
Lin looked at Gu Jinxiu blankly for a long time, and then looked down at his daughter.
Recently, life at home has been a little better than before, my daughter has started to grow bigger, her sallow face has improved, and everything seems to be going in a better direction.
Lin raised his head, his eyes changed from panic to firmness, and nodded stiffly at Gu Jinxiu.
Gu Jinxiu said: "Go to work!" ”
Now that the state of the Lin family has made her go back, facing the siege of the villagers, I don't know what will happen, so it is better to stay here and work.
Lin thought that Gu Jinxiu would let her go home because of this, but he didn't expect to let her stay, the uneasiness in his heart was slightly appeased, and he smiled at Gu Jinxiu reluctantly and went to work.
Gu Jinxiu saw that Lin took her daughter back to the kitchen to work, she turned around to walk into the house, and when she raised her eyes, she saw He Shi standing next to the door of the hall, with a tangled look on her face, Gu Jinxiu said coldly: "Mother, if you can help a woman, you can help a little!" ”
With that, she walked to her room without stopping.
He looked at Gu Jinxiu's door, since Liu's premature birth, Gu Jinxiu's words and deeds to her were not as close as before.
Thinking about the past, she was stunned for a long time before turning around and walking towards the kitchen.
