Everyone rode to Zhuangzi on a mule cart.

After arriving at Zhuangzi, the head of the village, Chen Yuanzhong's family, heard that they hurriedly went out to greet them.

Chen Yuanzhong's family of five, the couple with two sons and two daughters, was originally on an errand in Li Zhaoxuan's family, and later after Li Zhaoxuan was transferred to the capital, he streamlined the personnel, returned the family deed, and the errands of the two sons were stopped. When the two daughters were old, they originally wanted to rely on Li Zhaoxuan's hustle and bustle to find two families with good backgrounds, and they were ready to get married next year, but who knew that the two families heard that Li Zhaoxuan was transferred to the capital, Chen Yuanzhong had no errands, and the marriage was over.

So Chen Yuanzhong's family was not very happy, but in the future, the family's livelihood will fall on the Xie family, even if Chen Yuanzhong didn't look down on ordinary people before, this time he had to bow his head and bend his waist, willing to continue to manage this Zhuangzi.

Despite this, the smile on Chen Yuanzhong's face was a little like smiling and crying, looking like he wanted to bow his head and flatter, but couldn't help but be a little reserved, which looked very ridiculous.

When Chen Yuanzhong's family saw the Xie family coming over on a mule cart, the men in the family were still walking on the ground, and their faces became more and more disdainful. Chen Yuanzhong's two daughters were leaning on the Xie family with their eyes drooping in the back.

Xie Xuan was carried out of the car by her grandfather, and when she saw the expressions of Chen Yuanzhong's family, she had some thoughts in her heart.

I saw Chen Yuanzhong step forward and say: "Xie Weng, I was originally the head of the village in this Zhuangzi, and I have been on the board of directors in the Zhuangzi before. Now that the original owner of Xiao Lao'er has been transferred to the capital, our family has been living on Zhuangzi, and I implore Xie Weng to continue to let Xiao Lao'er manage this Zhuangzi and let my family live in Zhuangzi. ”

Xie Xuan saw that he wanted to hold a shelf, but had to bow his head and beg for someone, and he was tired and panicked for him.

Xie Qingshan has never seen the world, and he has lived for more than 50 years, and when he saw Chen Yuanzhong's humble and arrogant words, he understood a little in his heart, so he said: "Brother Chen, although our family bought the Zhuangzi of Li Zhaoxuan's family, we didn't buy your family's deed!" Since your family is from Li Zhaoxuan's family, please leave quickly to find Li Zhaoxuan! ”

As soon as Chen Yuanzhong heard this, his face changed color, Chen Yuanzhong's two sons were born with five short figures, and when they heard Xie Qingshan's refusal, they immediately glared angrily and shouted loudly: "Our family has always been on this Zhuangzi, managing tenants, this is where we grew up since childhood, why do you say that you will drive us away!"

Although Xie Qingshan can be regarded as good-tempered, but when he was scolded by the two young juniors in person, his face was a little unbearable and sank.

Xie Pingtian is a kind person, although his face sank, he didn't scold at all. Xie Ping'an couldn't help it, and immediately stepped forward and reprimanded loudly: "Just because our family has a land deed, the land deed clearly says that these seventy-five acres of land, together with these three big tile houses, and this yard, all belong to our family, even if we sue Li Zhaoxuan, this house is also our family!" You are standing on our field and asking us why? Joke! ”

When Chen Yuanzhong heard this, he immediately said a little anxiously: "Xie Weng, Xiao Lao'er's two sons are young and vigorous and don't know how to speak, please don't blame them." But what they said is still reasonable, our family has always made a living from this Zhuangzi, and if you drive us away, don't you let us sleep on the streets? Even if you look for a house and make a living again, you have to give us some time. What's more, the tenants on this Zhuangzi tenant continue the land, pay grain and renew the rent, and many of them are statutes, presumably Xie Weng can't sort them out for a while, and beg Xie Weng to let me continue to manage this Zhuangzi, and the annual grain output will not be less, Xie Weng only collects grain every year, and you don't have to bother. Besides, we have lived here for decades, and we have feelings for Zhuangzi, and it is really difficult to leave our homeland, so please thank Xie Weng for success! ”

Xie Qingshan is a person who eats soft and does not eat hard, and has a good face, looking at Chen Yuanzhong begging with a good voice, he is a little soft-hearted. He has always been a kind person, he is not a person who kills everything, and if he really wants to drive them away and make them displaced and homeless, these things will not be able to be done.

I was a little hesitant for a while, so I turned around and walked away with everyone to discuss.

Xie Xuan said: "Grandpa, I see that their family is used to being an official slave in Li Zhaoxuan's mansion, and they don't look down on our peasant families.

Xie Qingshan originally had this meaning, but he has always been kind, when others say a soft word, he can't pull his face to refuse, and the other is that he is worried that if the Chen Yuanzhong family is driven away, they will turn back to Li Zhao to make a declaration, will Li Zhaoxuan's mansion support them to find trouble with the Xie family? How can they compete with the people's officials, even if they have a few taels of silver?! Xie Qingshan told him about this concern.

Xie Ping'an was already angry in his heart, and said anxiously: "Dad, our family has the title deed in hand, and we have reason to go anywhere, even if he goes back to sue, what if he goes back to sue?" Our land deed clearly says that the 75 acres of land and this Zhuangzi belong to our family, what can they do with our family? ”

"Alas, you don't understand, if the official family doesn't like it, how can we ordinary people fight with others? If you're not afraid of 10,000, you're afraid of what if! Xie Qingshan said.

Xie Wang is also an old and serious person, so he understands Xie Qingshan's concerns very well.

Xie Xuan thought for a while and said, "Grandpa, since Li Zhaoxuan's family sold this Zhuangzi and transferred him to the capital, he also left this Chen Yuanzhong, which means that they don't pay much attention to their family at all, why don't you take it away?" Now that we have bought this Zhuangzi, this Zhuangzi is ours. Even if Chen Yuanzhong goes back to complain, let's not say whether Li Zhaoxuan will ignore them, even if they find it, our family is justified. You can't leave Chen Yuanzhong's family behind because of this, you look at their attitude, where is it like treating the main family? There will be endless troubles after staying! ”

Everyone felt justified and nodded yes.

Xie Qingshan thought about it deeply, although he was still a little worried about Li Zhaoxuan's family, but thinking of the attitude of Chen Yuanzhong's family, he sighed and said: "It's really not good to keep them, they are used to being official slaves, they have always been dogs who look down on people, and they are not sure how to make trouble if they are kept, so send them away with a good voice!"

So, the Xie family turned around, and Xie Qingshan came forward and said: "Brother Chen, our Xie family is just a peasant family, and this management of the field can't afford to use people from your official family, this tenant tenant pays rent or we come by ourselves, your family cleans up, whether to find Li Zhaoxuan's family, or find another way out, I Xie Lao'er will not stop you!"

Looking at the angry faces of Chen Yuanzhong's family, he said again: "Since you haven't cleaned up yet, let's give you three days to reprieve it, you clean up, and after three days, we will hand over the formalities of those tenants and tenants, and we won't block you from finding another way out."

Chen Yuanzhong's family changed color when they heard this, and the Xie family ignored them and went to see the fields.

The 35 acres of fertile land are black and swarthy, there are no gravel in the ground, and there are two ponds next to it, which is very convenient for watering. The bad field is not bad, that is, there are more stones in the ground, and in the future, more ploughing and fertilization, and transporting the stones out, within a few years, can also grow into a good field.

The Xie family was very satisfied when they saw it, and while walking along the edge of the ridge, they discussed whether to continue to give the 75 acres of land to others or grow it themselves.

Xie Xuan listened to them, and also smiled and came up with an idea: "Let's go out, who did the tenant for?" Look at those who are honest and faithful, and who do not deceive and pay rents, continue to give them tenants. When you encounter those who steal and cheat, you will take back the land. The surrounding big families collect a few percent of the rent, and we also collect a few percent of the rent, so we don't have to annoy the big families nearby, and we don't have to make people say that we are insatiable. ”

That's what everybody meant.

Xie Xuan rolled his eyes and continued: "I see, even the few acres of land in our family are tenanted out, and our family just sits at home and collects rent, so why get up early and work in the field?" Xie Qingshan disagreed, and said: "Sitting at home and collecting rent, people's bones are lazy!" If the peasant family is not diligent, what way will they live? The land on this Zhuangzi, let's just give it to others, let's plant our own land first! ”

Xie Pingtian also nodded yes, he also felt that he didn't farm anymore, and he really didn't know what to do for a while, but he still farmed in a down-to-earth manner. Xie Ping'an doesn't care, even if he doesn't farm anymore, waiting for the rent to be collected, that's fine. But when my father and eldest brother said so, they stopped talking.

Xie Xuan just made a suggestion, and seeing that Xie Qingshan and Xie Pingtian didn't agree, he shrugged his shoulders indifferently, and that's it.

On the way back after seeing the fields, they saw that Chen Yuanzhong's family was still talking there, and there was no sign of packing up their things, so everyone ignored them and went home directly.

After going back, the Xie family still had to do whatever they wanted, no different from usual. built a shed and planted vegetables, and did not feel that there were nearly 100 acres of more land, so he was arrogant.

After all, paper can't hold the fire, and the news that the Xie family bought 75 acres of land still spreads, after all, it is a farmer's family living in a village, and nothing can be hidden.

The villagers were very puzzled where the Xie family got so much money, it was five hundred taels of silver! As a result, more and more people came to inquire openly and secretly. The relationship is so close that he clearly asks how Qingshan made a fortune, and those who are not very close also take care of his inquiry.

The Xie family didn't hide it, so they said that they had dug up a century-old Shouwu in Taihang Mountain and sold it for some money to buy these lands. Everyone listened, while amazed, envious and jealous, they asked clearly what He Shou Wu looked like, and also carried shovels and hoes to the mountains, looking for He Shou Wu all over the mountains, hoping to make a fortune like the Xie family. Slowly, there are more people who go up the mountain to dig He Shou Wu, and everyone thinks that they can make such a big fortune.

There were even relatives who couldn't hit the three poles who came to borrow money or something, but they were all sent away by Xie Qingshan, pointed out the way, and said that they would go up the mountain to dig He Shou Wu by themselves.

In addition, Wu Qingxi's family was also exposed to follow Xie Qingshan to steal and dig He Shou Wu and sell it for some money, and the lies he told a few days ago were exposed by the villagers, and his face was quite unsightly.

But he didn't take advantage of it, and he didn't dare to come to the Xie family for trouble. After hearing that the Xie family bought 75 acres of land, he was even more jealous, and he hyped up the Xie family's nos in the village, and he was full of unconvinced, saying that he gave the hundred-year-old Shouwu to the Xie family, if he hadn't let them the Xie family, the Xie family would not have made this fortune this time and bought so much land.

After hearing that Xie Qingshan would have He Shou Wu on the mountain, and everyone taught He Shou Wu what it looked like, and asked everyone to dig it. Wu Qingxi was even more annoyed and angry, feeling that the Xie family had cut off his financial route. However, in the end, it was stealing Xie Qingshan's craftsmanship. If he finds the door and is scolded back, he will be faceless, but he will be unhappy in his heart, so he will instigate his mother-in-law to go to Xie's house to scold and scold people.

On this day, the three fathers and sons of the Xie family went to the grass shed to fertilize and prepare the land, and the Xie Wang and Lin families weaved cloth at home.

Xie Zhiyuan, Xie Zhicheng and Xie Xuan were breaking pomegranates under the pomegranate tree, and they were eating sweet, when they heard a voice outside that stretched the tone, accompanied by a sentence of scolding.

"Black-hearted and rotten things, cut off people's financial routes, no conscience......"

"The family pickles the goods, there is no good thing, and it is not good to see people......"
