Chapter 99
The groom's voice made Zheng Tam, and they all became nervous, and they looked at Su Nianjin uneasily, unable to say a word.
Su Nianjin was silent for a while and then asked, "You guys were working before, right?" What are you doing? ”
"Huh.." Zheng Tam replied blankly, "There is a piece of land not far from here that can still be used to grow crops, and we are cleaning up the sand and gravel inside. Prepare to plant something at the beginning of next spring.."
"Are you relatives?"
"No, they live around here. neighbors .." Zheng Tam introduced, "There are only small ones left in the small family, and the daughter-in-law Cuihua and the small children."
The farmers behind Zheng Tam lowered their heads embarrassedly, as if they were a little embarrassed about their identity.
"You live near a mass grave?" Thinking of Uncle Chen's previous introduction, Su Nianjin guessed.
Hearing Su Nianjin's inquiry, the farmers' bodies trembled, they knew that others thought they were unlucky and unwilling to deal with them. They didn't want to harm Zheng Tam, so they lowered their heads and remained silent.
Looking at the way they looked, it seemed that they had guessed correctly. Su Nianjin took a deep breath, "Looking at your appearance, you should be a good farmer, right?" ”
"Huh? Be.. Be.. We can't do anything else, but no one can stump us in farming." The farmers hurriedly said that they came to the capital from the north and south of the Great Xia Kingdom, because their families were poor, so they came out to work, but they didn't know how to be flexible, and they couldn't deal with people, so they could only be reduced to wandering near the mass graves, and there was no place to stay.
"Although you plan to use the wasteland to plant something in the coming year, you can be in your current condition, there are sick people, no food and no money, and there are leaks in your home. Listening to Mrs. Zheng's words before, it seems that there are still people who come to trouble you frequently, so whether you can survive this winter is still a question, right? Su Nianjin spoke mercilessly, poking at other people's heart scars.
She didn't seem to think about the situation if the person in front of her was angry and angry at her words.
Of course, Zheng Tam, they are very honest, and they took the initiative to hurt others or something, and they didn't think about it at all. On the contrary, Su Nianjin's words made them even more ashamed.
Su Nianjin's words were the truth, and they had no way to refute them.
"So, you who are almost cornered, do you want to work under me?" When the words came out, Su Nianjin couldn't believe that he said it himself, he was a businessman with heavy profits, and when he was racing against time, this kind of business that looked like a loss of money was really done by himself. "At first, I introduced myself as a businessman who came to find the secret recipe for vegetables in winter. I'll give you money to see a doctor, I'll give you shelter from the wind and rain, I'll give you everything you need to farm, and you'll be responsible for growing vegetables for me in the winter!" ”
"Huh——?!" As soon as Su Nianjin's words fell, everyone present was dumbfounded.
"Owner, the secret recipe or something is nonsense that these people say, don't be fooled!" The groom was also stunned, how could such a shrewd person of the proprietor believe their nonsense.
"How? Do you dare to come down? Su Nianjin looked at Zheng Tam's eyes, "There is only one chance, if you hesitate, I dare not guarantee that I will not regret it!" ”
Zheng Tam discussed it with their brothers, and plucked up the courage to say, "Thank you Shopkeeper Su for being willing to give us a chance, what I said is also the truth, we naturally want to do it." ”
Su Nianjin nodded, "Since you should go down, then things will be easy to handle." Emerald flowers, huh? Pick up your children in the wagon, and you all come with me into the city!" Whether the deed of sale is signed a death deed or a living deed, the specific details are still in the capital and sit down and talk slowly. Your child's illness shouldn't be delayed, right? ”
Zheng Tam, they looked at Su Nianjin in disbelief, and the pestle did not move in place.
"What's wrong? This kind of thatched hut that can't even shelter from the wind, you still can't give up it? Su Nianjin glanced back at Zheng Tam.
"That.. Shopkeeper Su, although the small one really grew vegetables in the winter last year... But the small ones don't know why they can grow them. The small ones are not guaranteed to be planted this winter. Is that okay? Zheng Tam looked at Su Nianjin at a loss, his eyes full of uneasiness.
"How can it be okay?" Su Nianjin chuckled, "I'm a businessman, I don't do loss-making business, since you have grown it, then this matter must be feasible." By the way, you can plane some soil from the edge of the kang and bring it."
"Ahh Be. When Zheng Tam and his brothers heard Su Nianjin's order, they immediately started to do it, although they didn't understand Su Nianjin's intentions.
"Obedient, it's good, I like it." After Su Nianjin left such a sentence, she turned around and got into the carriage.
is really an honest person with a simple character, that's why he has such a hard time.
Su Nianjin didn't know, her sentence of liking made Zheng Tam and them blush, and they worked hard to dig the soil on the kang, almost destroying the kang.
"Why haven't you gotten into the carriage yet?" Su Nianjin was waiting impatiently in the carriage, weren't they ready yet?
When Su Nianjin lifted the carriage curtain, she found that everyone was standing next to the carriage with brushes. Zheng Tam was holding a child in his hands, Cuihua was holding two pieces of torn clothes in his hands, and the others were holding dirt in their hands.
"Packed up?" Su Nianjin frowned.
Zheng Tam and the others nodded hurriedly, they were already living a hungry and full life, they had no long things, and they had no luggage to pack anywhere.
Su Nianjin looked into their eyes, "You plan to follow my carriage into Beijing like this?" ”
Not surprisingly, they nodded again.
"It's too late to find a carriage to pick it up, so you can follow my carriage for the time being." Su Nianjin sighed in her heart, she was really a simple person, "However, the child and Cuihua get in the carriage, it's still quite far from the capital." ”
"No need.." Cuihua shook her head in horror and said, "The little one is very dirty."
"It's dirty, it stinks." Maybe it was Cuihua's crying before that Su Nianjin was tortured enough, so she treated Cuihua quite unkindly.
Cuihua pinched the corners of her clothes helplessly with both hands, so ashamed that she wanted to burrow into the cracks in the ground.
"But there's no way around it, it doesn't look like a place with a well, and it's hard for you to have a chance to clean yourself up!" Su Nianjin continued, "As long as you don't cry inexplicably, I don't mind sharing a carriage with you. Come on, isn't the child sick? The sky is getting dark, and it is gradually getting colder, so I carry him into Beijing like this, what should I do if I suffer from the cold again? ”
Cuihua's tears swirled in her eyes, thinking that Su Nianjin mentioned before that she didn't like her to cry, she quickly raised her head to prevent the tears from falling. "Thank you..."
