Chapter 21: Confession
Chen's mother couldn't hold back and wanted to go out, but was stopped by Hua Jin, "My brother always has to be in charge, so let him go through the experience." After speaking, he stood still in the gate and watched the situation develop.
At this time, Hua Chen couldn't help but clench his fists, his eyes were firmly fixed on Bai Zhuangtou, and Bai Zhuangtou just lowered his head with his eyes and nose.
Thinking of his sister's entrustment and thinking of these hard-working tenants, he couldn't help but muster up the courage to take a step forward, but in a blink of an eye, he saw Chen Han coming over to protect him at some point.
Hua Chen looked at the people kneeling together, "It's freezing this day, you all stand up and talk!" ”
"Young Master, do you want to call the shots for us?" A leading tenant asked.
Seeing that those people still hadn't gotten up, Hua Chen turned to Chen Han and ordered, "Go and order someone to get some hot tea for them to drink." ”
Chen Han turned around and ran away after hearing the order, while Hua Chen said loudly to the tenants: "I am the fourth young master of the Zhang family, and this Zhuangzi is my biological mother's dowry industry." ”
"The fourth young master will reduce the rent for us, otherwise we really won't be able to live."
"Yes, please Fourth Young Master."
"The fourth young master will be the master of our rent reduction!"
These tenants were still very emotional, some kept kowtowing, and some were shedding tears.
At this time, the head of Bai Zhuang suddenly shouted: "You Diao people, you are bullying our fourth young master to be young and ignorant. When I hand me a note to the government, I will arrest you all. ”
Hua Chen's gaze suddenly sharpened, and he turned his head and glared at Bai Zhuangtou angrily, "You stand down." ”
"Yes, Fourth Young Master." Bai Shan took a step back.
Hua Chen boldly stepped forward again, and said with a sincere face: "Since I said that this is my biological mother's dowry industry, I will not sit idly by." ”
The leading tenant shouted again: "Then the fourth young master will give us all an explanation!" ”
Seeing the look of hope on these people's faces, Hua Chen said: "Everyone has also seen that after all, I am a teenager under the age of twelve, and I still don't know a lot about things on the farm. When I return to the house, I will discuss with the elders in the family, and I will definitely give you an explanation. ”
But...... After he finished speaking, he couldn't help but look at the kneeling tenants, would these people believe his empty white teeth?
At this time, Chen Han was followed by several mothers-in-law who turned back, carrying kettles in their hands and holding stoneware tea bowls.
Hua Chen hurriedly said: "Let's get up and drink a cup of hot tea to warm up." ”
Seeing that Chen Han had already walked among the crowd and helped distribute the tea bowls, he was obviously familiar with some tenants, "Second Uncle Liu, Third Aunt Zhao, get up and drink a cup of hot tea, our fourth young master will call the shots for everyone." ”
And those tenants really listened to Chen Han's words, and got up to take the tea bowls one after another.
The second uncle Liu actually called Chen Han affectionately, "Ermaozi, you have to plead with the fourth young master of your family to intercede for us." ”
"Yes." Chen Han replied.
Hua Jin nodded when he saw this scene, turned to Chen's mother and said, "I didn't expect Brother Chen Han to be so strong now, and he is clever. ”
Mother Chen heard the fifth girl mention her grandson, and a smile gradually appeared in the corners of her eyes, "This child has been honest since he was a child. ”
On the steps outside the door, Hua Chen saw those tenants getting up one after another, and his heart was slightly settled, thinking that this first hurdle should have been a fluke.
But after the second uncle Liu who was in the lead, he suddenly asked loudly: "Since the fourth young master wants to give us an explanation, then there must be a time limit, right?" ”
The rest of the tenants also chimed in, "Yes, Fourth Young Master, giving us a time limit will also give us a bottom in our hearts." ”
Hua Chen remembered his sister's explanation, and immediately replied: "Before the spring equinox, I will definitely give you an explanation." ”
Second Uncle Liu, who was in the lead, said again: "When the spring equinox wheat gets up, a moment is worth a thousand gold." I hope that the fourth young master can give us good news, even if we smash the pot and sell iron, we will also change the seeds, farm and pay rent to pay off the debt. ”
Hua Chen felt that the burden was on his body, and his shoulders seemed to be heavier, and he couldn't help but comfort these tenants: "Don't worry, don't worry, don't worry." ”
Only then did everyone nod and disperse under the leadership of Second Uncle Liu.
Bai Zhuangtou was dumbfounded, and stepped forward to Hua Chen and said, "Fourth Young Master, why bother with these scoundrels who kick their noses and faces." ”
A cold glint swept over Hua Chen's eyes, and Bai Zhuangtou stopped talking.
When the tenants were far away, Hua Chen turned around and entered the courtyard, and went directly to his sister's east wing.
When he entered the house, he saw that Hua Jin had just taken off his cloak, so he asked, "Sister, did you see what happened just now?" ”
Hua Jin smiled slightly, "Brother handled it very well!" ”
Hua Chen also smiled, revealing a mouthful of small white teeth, and felt a little happier in his heart.
When he restrained his smile, he looked at Chen's mother with blazing eyes.
Mother Chen's heart tightened, and she almost knelt down again, but fortunately, Hua Jinyan quickly helped her, "Mother Chen has something to say, you don't have to be so polite, you must know that your mother also respected you very much when she was alive." ”
Chen's mother looked at Hua Chen.
Hua Chen coughed and cleared his throat, but when he spoke, he was a little embarrassed, "Mother Chen, Chen Han is very angry with me, can you let him follow me?" ”
Hua Jin smiled, turned his head to look at Mother Chen, and saw that her face gradually showed joy, "What the fourth young master means is to let Ermaozi be your little servant." ”
Hua Chen nodded, "That's exactly what I mean." ”
"This is really a blessing for Ermaozi." After speaking, his feet moved and he was about to kneel down again.
This time, it was Hua Chen who stepped forward to help, "Mother Chen really doesn't have to be like this. ”
Mother Chen's smile deepened, reaching the bottom of her eyes, "That old slave go and tell Ermaozi the good news." Then he said, "Fourth young master, fifth girl, do you have anything special to eat for dinner?" ”
"Squirrel fish, Mother Chen, can you still do it?"
"Yes, yes." Mother Chen nodded again and again, "What the fourth young master likes to eat, the old slave can make it." After saying that, he hurriedly retreated.
…………
After all, it was the first time to travel in a horse-drawn carriage, and the road was bumpy and the horror after experiencing horse terror.
Hua Jin felt that he was really a little tired, so he was served by Bai Tao and slept on the carved shelf bed in the middle of the room.
In her sleep, she dreamed of Yan again, with that amiable smile, stretched out her arms and hugged her, "Jin'er, with your mother here, you don't have to be afraid of anything." "The embrace in the dream is so real.
Hua Jin mourned in his heart and woke up.
She frowned slightly, this was the second time she had dreamed of Yan.
Yan died when the Huachen Huajin brothers and sisters were more than a year old, even the original body shouldn't have such a deep impression of this biological mother?
Maybe it's the reason why you're in this village?
She turned to look out the window, the back-grained window lattices covered with Korean paper rustled by the cold wind, and she could vaguely see many figures swaying in the courtyard.
What's happening again?
