Chapter 589: The Ge Family Turned Outside
The peasants are the safest group, not to mention the peasants in this era, who regard the field as important as the root of life, and they will never dare to try new farming methods easily. Just look at Xie Rumo said so many new farming methods, no one cried and begged to give it a try.
These people really don't know how to read gold and jade, Xie Ming is indignant, how good a young master of his family is, generously and unhesitantly sharing these advanced farming methods, these farmers only know that they are sluggish, and they are even more half-convinced.
Xie Rumo didn't care about everyone's thoughts, "Pull out these rotten root atractylodes, and plant another piece of turmeric." ”
"Huh?"
The medicine farmers who heard this were stunned for a moment.
Xie Rumo glanced at them, "Give you two choices, one is that the Xie family will compensate for the loss of this piece of atractylodes at a discount, and then the Xie family will pay for the seed money and labor money for replanting turmeric, and this matter will be over." ”
"The second option is to contract the entire piece of land of Atractylodes to the Xie family, that is, to change hands, and the price is calculated according to the price of Atractylodes last year. As for this piece of land, I will return it to you after the harvest of the atractylodes. ”
Some individual medicine farmers laughed, they thought that after the Xie family compensated according to the price of atractylodes medicine last year, this piece of land would not be taken care of, and then they could also grow some other crops, which was another income.
Xie Ying and the others glanced at these people, who said that the peasants would not have their own careful thoughts.
Well? The young master's way of dealing with it surprised the stewards who came with him, they thought that the young master attached so much importance to the medicine farmers, because he was worried about the reputation of the Xie family, and he would definitely give them generous compensation, but they couldn't think of it.
She promised to compensate for the loss, but they didn't want to take themselves as a big wrongdoer, the compensation money was not much for the Xie family, but this head could not be opened. Otherwise, the neighbors of the Xie family's medicinal herb base will be uneasy.
The medicine farmers whispered thoroughly, if they choose the former, so far, they will not lose money, but also make a small profit. However, it is necessary to bear the fluctuation of the price at the time of the harvest of Atractylodes.
But if the land is subleased to the Xie family, it doesn't make much money, mainly because the price of atractylodes was high last year, which led to the high price of seeds. They pointed out that this year's atractylodes can make money, and of course, it also includes artificial labor. The Xie family directly deducted 20% of the price for labor and later fertilizer, which was not harsh, but in this way, they really didn't make much money. And if they don't take care of this piece of atractylodes, their labor force can't be wasted.
It's hard to choose for a while.
"Young Master Xie, is there a third choice?" The old farmer who spoke folded his hands and talked about his own difficulties.
In other words, I just want to be safe, but I don't want to be responsible for my own profits and losses.
That's why Xie Rumo is easy to speak.
"Yes, this piece of land is contracted to the Xie family, and then the price of the whole piece of land will be according to the price of last year's atractylodes, and then what to replant and how to plant this land is up to the Xie family, and then you will work on time, if this land is well picked up, the yield will reach the average normal value, and the total income at the end of the year will exceed the price estimated to you, and the excess part will reward you with 20%."
The third option is actually a modification of the first and second choices.
"Young Master Xie, don't worry, we are the most careful in serving the land, and we will never spoil the fields and crops."
Those farmers are willing to accept the third option.
"Young master, the one over there seems to be the Fu family." Xie Ming's eyes were sharp, and he saw Fu Zilin.
Fu Zilin? Xie Rumo followed what he pointed at.
"I have something to say to her, let someone go and invite her over."
Fu Zilin's mother-in-law heard that Young Master Xie was invited, so she hurriedly pushed her, and when she came to Xie Rumo, Fu Zilin found that she also smiled kindly at herself, Fu Zilin was in a trance again, and felt that it was like this, and she should be like this.
"I heard what you said for the Xie family last time in the Jiang family, and I thank you on behalf of the Xie family."
Fu Zilin pursed her face and said in her heart, this is what the Xie family can afford, and you don't need to thank you.
"I heard that you have been serving your in-laws to weave and weave cloth at home and do embroidery?" Xie Rumo also has a certain understanding of her situation, "If you don't dislike it, you can go to the Jingzhou branch of the Xie family medicine store to be a little steward, right?" ”
Fu Zilin looked at her in surprise and didn't speak.
On the contrary, her mother-in-law was overjoyed and urged her to agree.
Extra
In Shangqu Village, the Great Zhou Dynasty entered the second year of the war, and the war was ignited in the southeast, and the people in many places fled when they heard the news.
Because Ruyin is located in the Central Plains, it has been involved, and there are some people with foreign surnames who have not left with deep roots, but some people who have taken root for several generations are difficult to leave their homeland and have been sticking to Ruyin.
And because it is the hometown of the little miracle doctor of Jishan, it has always been courteous to the armies of all parties. Some people even offered a portrait of the little miracle doctor at home, hoping that she would be safe.
If you say that in the village, the one with the deepest relationship with the little divine doctor of Jishan is none other than Ge Qijin's family. But the villagers in the village are well aware of their grievances, and their relationship is worse than that of ordinary people.
In Ge Qijin's family, in the past two years, the daughters have married one after another, but they are not very well married. Ge Ruyu was disliked by her husband's family because she was not a white wall, and her temperament was said to be docile, but she was actually cowardly, and she was always disgusted after marrying, and she was used as a cow and horse, and her food was also deducted, and in just over a year, her face was more than ten years old.
Ge Rucui has always been a splash, selfish and vicious, she is also self-aware, and found a family with only children and widows, and the son was raised with a soft temperament, but it was easy to be manipulated. After Ge Rucui got married, she became the lady in charge of the house, and she was very powerful and blessed for a while. But the old lady's family was not a vegetarian, and sometimes when she passed, her brothers and uncles would come to the house to teach her some lessons. Ge Rucui is a master who remembers what to eat and not to fight, and the tyranny in her personality is the same as Ge Qijin, so she can't help but pay back to her husband and mother-in-law. In this way, she stabbed the hornet's nest, and the old lady's brother beat her again. After so many times, normal people have stopped, scared, and thought about living a good life. But Ge Rucui is biased, her paranoid personality makes her never look for problems in herself, and finally in a revenge, she killed her mother-in-law, and she herself was tossed into a prison cell and guillotined.
Affected by Ge Rucui, Ge Rufei, who was also one of the twins, was taken home. Her husband was very reluctant, but she married the third of the four brothers, and the family was not separated, and her husband really had no power. Ge Rufei knew very well that her husband's slight resistance was only in vain, so she packed her baggage and went home very freely.
Ge Ruxiu, the Ge family sisters are very thoughtful, and a little smart, she is also the best married among the Ge family sisters, she is married to the second son of a medicinal herb merchant. She relied on the fragments of her experience with Xie Rumo and beautified their relationship. The evil things and jokes that the Ge family did before were all skillfully pushed on the heads of her parents and sisters. She is the youngest child in the family, and it makes sense to be so prevaricated.
In addition, the medicinal herb merchant is in the medicinal materials business, and she has a natural good impression of Xie Shaozhu, the great hand of the National Medical Mansion, and Xie Rumo, the young master of the Xie family, has added a lot of points to her. After she gave birth to her first son, Ge Ruxiu could be regarded as gaining a firm foothold in her husband's family.
When Ge Rucui had an accident, she secretly cursed fiercely for a few days, for fear that she would be tired, and things were not as she expected, and when Ge Rufei was implicated and went home, when her mother came to the door, she took ten taels of silver to her mother and said that it was pension silver, and then she cut off contact with her mother's family.
Her husband's father-in-law was very satisfied with her approach, and her in-laws had some complaints, but they were gradually settled by Ge Ruxiu through the child.
When Ge Rucui was asked, she was still confused, and she still didn't know how she had come to this point. After eating the severed head meal sent by Zhou, she raised her confused face and ended her short life in the exclamations of the people watching the execution.
After Ge Rucui went, Ge Rufei returned to her parents' house to live with her father, but her life was much more depressing than before she went to Beijing. Sometimes Ge Rufei often thinks that if their family didn't go to Beijing, it would be good if their fate would be different.
After thinking for a while and sighing, she carried the medicine bowl from the kitchen into the main room.
Most of the people in the village have torn down the dilapidated mud houses and built new ones, and the few dilapidated houses of Ge Qijin's family look out of place in the rows of new houses.
But there is no way, the Ge family has no labor, and Ge Ba is the master of the land rented to the Xie family as a medicinal material base, and every penny of the land rented to the Xie family as a medicinal material base is taken by Ge Qijin to sell wine, where can he save money to make a new house!
Ge Rufei brought another bowl of porridge and fed it to Ge Qijin, who was lying in bed.
"Wine, give me wine!"
"Dad, drink porridge, and drink when you get better."
"I'm going to drink, do you hear?"
"Dad, your body can't drink anymore, it's going to collapse if you drink again." What Ge Rufei didn't say was that the doctor said that if you drink this wine again, you will die.
"I don't need you to care, why do you care about Lao Tzu? Don't let you drink a little wine, who do you think you are! You are a lost star, you were divorced and returned to your parents' house, you eat Lao Tzu and drink Lao Tzu, and now you have to manage Lao Tzu to spend money! These silver Lao Tzu wants to buy wine, don't want to take out half of the boy from Lao Tzu's hand! Ge Qijin scolded a lot of words.
These words were so vicious that Ge Rufei was stunned when she heard them, and tears flowed silently.
"Get out of here!" As he spoke, Ge Qijin, who was angry on his head, even picked up something casually and smashed it into Ge Rufei's face.
Ge Rufei couldn't dodge, and was bruised on the cheek by the broken bowl that was broken, and blood beads gushed out and dripped to the ground.
Ge Rufei remained motionless and looked at him steadily.
Ge Qijin panted, and he didn't show any remorse after hurting people, and even became angry under her gaze, "Look at what, get out of here!" ”
Ge Rufei went out, she simply packed some of her own clothes, carried a small burden and went out.
When she went out, she happened to meet Zhou, Zhou only asked where to go, and when she learned that she was leaving, Zhou glanced at her red eyes and didn't stop her.
Let's go, let's go, let's go. Zhou said silently in his heart.
Later, a villager in Shangli Village said that he saw Ge Rufei board a caravan that day and never returned.
Everyone thinks, out of this family, with Ge Rufei's temperament, as long as the man he finds is not too bad, he can always live a good life.
Having said that, Zhou only silently looked at her distant back, and only returned to the room slowly until there was no one left, ignoring Ge Qijin's vigorous calls in the house.
In the evening, Zhou secretly unscrewed a bottle of wine, which she had secretly saved every time Ge Qijin bought wine in the past, and she put it in the wine cabinet and spilled some around.
In the middle of the night, Ge Qijin was in urgent need of urine, and woke up to call Zhou, but he didn't see anyone for a long time, so he had to solve it by the bedside. When he was done, he lay on the bed, and seemed to smell the smell of wine, and he shook his nose, looking for the smell that seemed to be in the only cabinet in the room.
Ge Qijin held the wine bottle in both hands and poured wine into his mouth one by one.
He didn't notice that there was a rickety man standing outside the house, looking at him coldly, and in the cold moonlight, he looked a little terrifying.
After he drank it, Zhou went in, she squatted next to him, looked at him coldly, and muttered in her mouth, drink it, drink it, you are a drag when you live! You don't live like a man in your life, what else is there besides causing trouble and burdening your family? In this life, I relied on my parents when I was young, and when I got married, my health has not been good, I take medicine from time to time, and the work I do after I get married is not enough to support you, and you are a burden to live this life.
The next morning, Zhou found him lying on the ground, still holding a bottle of wine in his arms, which had been drunk.
told him not to wake up, she hurriedly asked the doctor, and the doctor knew that the pulse was broken, before Ge Qijin could have lived for about a year if he listened to the doctor's advice, he already had a very serious liver disease, and he must quit drinking.
Now I have drunk a lot of this wine. Thinking of the empty bottle when he entered the house, the doctor shook his head secretly.
When he looked at it today, the whites of his eyes had turned yellow, and his face was also yellow, obviously jaundice, and he was afraid that it had been ten days and a half months. These are the exact words of the doctor.
"Ge Qijin This is acute inflammation, it seems that the little doctor Jishan treated such a disease when he was still there, and it was the grandson of Ge Shanming's family who had acute hepatitis at that time, just like Ge Qijin. At that time, I only drank a few pairs of medicines, Huang retired, and the person was fine. ”
"His liver is seriously damaged, and it's not just a matter of retiring from yellow."
"Didn't the doctor say that you are not allowed to drink, why is Zhou not careful, it is not intentional?"
"It shouldn't be intentional, the Zhou family hasn't been drinking recently, and neither has Rufei."
"Probably not, I heard that the wine was locked in the cabinet, and Ge Qijin couldn't sleep in the middle of the night to turn it out."
"How did Ge Qijin get it if he locked it."
"There is always a negligence in Baimi, the whole family is in charge of her, and there are some who are negligent for a while."
For these people's speculations and gossip, Zhou listened silently, and sometimes his eyes were red, and others were sneered.
"But looking at Ge Qijin's appearance, except for Huang, he really doesn't look like the kind of person who died in ten days and a half months."
Ge Qijin is in good spirits, and his body doesn't look emaciated.
"It's edema, the water can't drain out, and didn't you hear him screaming and screaming that his stomach was bloated? This water and gas can't be discharged, and death is not far away. ”
"Yes, there is an old uncle in the next room next door to my mother's house who also has this liver disease, and at the end of the day he shouted fever, and finally climbed to the tree house in the middle of the night to cool off, and died that night, and his stomach was swollen when he died, which was terrifying."
As expected, Ge Qijin died ten days later, and no one from the descendants was present, only Zhou's wife, who was in charge of the aftermath, only did a simple ritual and then was hastily buried.
