Chapter Twenty-Four: Painstaking

Just as Aunt Tian was trying her best to drive them out, Uncle Tian came out of the house.

"Hey, my mother, who is looking for me, why did you go out for a long time and didn't enter the house."

"Whoever comes to me, let the family into the house first." As Uncle Tian spoke, as soon as he looked up, he saw Su Qiqi and his party.

When Uncle Tian saw them, he thought of collecting rent at the beginning, and thought, "Hmph, if I knew it was you, I really couldn't enter the house." "My face drooped, but when people came, I couldn't help but speak, so I still rented someone's land.

At this time, Aunt Tian, whose lies had been exposed, smiled awkwardly, "Didn't you go to the county seat to buy something?" How did you come back so soon. As he spoke, he squeezed his eyebrows at Uncle Tian.

"Ah, yes, the shop isn't open, I'll be back. Lu Zhi, are you here today, is there something wrong? ”

Lu Zhi looked at Su Qiqi, and Su Qiqi looked at Lu Zhi. The two eyebrows flickered, "You said" "You said"

In the end, Su Qiqi bowed his head for half of the rent.

"That, Uncle Tian, that's it. Yesterday we discussed the matter of this lease. Then the rules were reformulated. Those who rent land every year need to pay 50 taels of silver to Lu Zhi as rent, and after paying it, no matter what the harvest is in the year, they do not need to pay it again. ”

"Hey, why are you like this, you want us to pay fifty taels for no reason, no money, no money, can't afford to pay." When Aunt Tian heard that she had to pay again, she was unhappy.

When Su Qiqi first mentioned this idea, she knew that she would not get the money back smoothly, but she had already thought of a countermeasure.

So he explained to Aunt Tian, "Aunt Tian, no, this system is equivalent to collecting the money first, and then when the harvest comes, we will not care how much money you earn from your crops." ”

"No, that's not going to work. If this god is not happy, let us have a bad harvest. We won't even be able to pay 50 taels in the coming year, won't we be able to rent this land? ”

"Aunt Tian, you can't say that, you said that if you still have the same rent method every year, won't you not give others the opportunity to farm?"

"Besides, we are in good weather now, and we can't buy seventy or eighty crops in any year. You say yes. ”

"No, I still don't agree with you." Aunt Tian thought about Su Qiqi's statement.

"Aunt Tian, it's not something you disagree with now, there are more people who want to rent land. If you don't agree today, then we will take back the land and rent it to someone else. ”

"The land is ours, not yours. What about you, think about it. ”

When Aunt Tian heard Su Qiqi's words, she became anxious, "Su Qiqi, you haven't entered the door of Lao Lu's house yet, so you are in charge of their family's housework?" Do you know shame anymore? Yes? ”

"Besides, Su Qiqi, do you think the people in the village don't know that you and Lu Zhi don't have a good relationship now? Quarrel every day, whether people marry Lu Zhi or not, what else do you say, are you so anxious to help others make money? ”

"Hmph, don't help others make money when the time comes, and when people turn around, they will go to the city to find a daughter, who is a hundred times stronger than you."

"Aunt Tian, are we collecting rent now? What do you do off the subject? Don't you want to rent land anymore? ”

"Yes, I'm just Lu Zhi's fiancΓ©e, and I haven't passed the door yet. But the two of us don't bother Aunt Tian about it. ”

"Even if we're not fiancΓ©s, we're friends, I'll help Lu Zhi. As for you, it's better to think about whether you give fifty taels or not. Su Qiqi listened to what Aunt Tian said, and was extremely angry.

At this time, I only heard Lu Zhi on the side say, "Qiqi is my fiancΓ©e, my things are hers, I will support her whatever she wants." Moreover, I will only have one wife, Su Qiqi. ”

Su Qiqi, who heard this, blushed.

"You, hmph, we won't pay."

"Alright, then we'll take back the land. You should think of other ways to make money this year. ”

"Lu Zhi, Yueyue, Brother Zhu, let's go." As he spoke, he turned and left.

At this time, Uncle Tian on the side was busy saying, "Hey, don't go, Qiqi, what about your Aunt Tian, I'm joking with you." Don't take it seriously. ”

"Uncle Tian, I never knew that I could laugh like this."

Uncle Tian smiled awkwardly, "Well, you said that you came today, and suddenly you had to say that you would charge fifty taels of rent, and we didn't have any preparations, and we couldn't give you money." ”

"Every relationship, if there is no money today, then we will collect it tomorrow, so it is decided. If we can't pay fifty taels tomorrow, then we will take back this land. After Su Qiqi finished speaking, he turned around and left.

Lu Zhi glanced at the two people with black faces in the courtyard, turned around and left. Zhu Chengyu and Qin Yue followed.

Immediately afterwards, Su Qiqi left several people who rented land, and each household explained the situation in detail, and postponed the rent collection for one day.

After finishing these, Su Qiqi was relaxed.

"Hey, that's good, it's finally solved."

"Qiqi, I didn't expect you to be quite smooth. So smoothly I asked for the land rent. Zhu Chengyu looked at Su Qiqi with a smug face.

"That's, don't look at who I am. I'm telling you, I'm calling it the right medicine. ”

"You see, when dealing with people like Uncle Tian and his family, you have to be tough, so that they don't have good fruit to eat, and they will pay the rent obediently."

"And simple people like Uncle Wang, they have to say it well and impress them with their true feelings. Let them understand the truth. ”

"Well, I'm smart!" After speaking, Su Qiqi also raised his eyebrows at Lu Zhi, as if he was waiting for Lu Zhi's praise.

And Lu Zhi also lived up to Su Qiqi's expectations, "Yes, yes, Su Dashen, you are the smartest, you are the best." ”

"So, what about the rent?"

"Isn't the rent agreed to be paid tomorrow?"

"Oh~ Tomorrow, that's okay, tomorrow will be tomorrow." Lu Zhi smiled like a conspiracy.

"What do you mean, what bad idea are you thinking?" "Say it quickly." Su Qiqi looked at Lu Zhi like this, and felt that he had been tricked.

"It's nothing, I'll go ask for rent tomorrow, so what, let's go back quickly." It's been morning out, and you haven't eaten breakfast, aren't you hungry? ”

"Whoever says I'm not hungry, I'm dying of hunger." Su Qiqi said aggrievedly.

"It's all your fault, you didn't even let me eat this morning, so you pulled me out."

"Okay, since you're hungry, don't go back quickly. After a while, Uncle Su and Aunt Su should think that we won't go back to eat, and won't cook for us. ”

"Oh, yes, let's go to the city to eat, and then go to the market." Su Qiqi's eyes lit up.

"It's a good idea, it can be executed." Zhu Chengyu echoed on the side.

"What do you agree with, are you going to get the money today?" Lu Zhi looked at the two people with disgust on his face, and his eyes lit up when he said he was eating.
