"Chen Han, that's the fourth young master of your family, it's really mighty." A few young teenagers over there shouted.

The little boy named Chen Han turned around and drank, "You guys go away!" ”

The boys scattered and ran away.

"Chen Han, you should get up too."

Chen Han?

Hua Chen looked at the little boy in front of him, "Your name is Chen Han?" ”

The little boy pulled the snow off his head and nodded, revealing a silly face.

"Are you Chen's mother's little grandchild?"

"Yes, Fourth Young Master."

Hua Chen couldn't help but think that when his biological mother Yan gave birth to this original body and his sister Hua Jin, because she didn't know that there was a dragon and phoenix fetus in her belly, she only found a nurse in the house.

happened to catch up with Chen's mother's daughter-in-law who gave birth to Chen Han, but she gave him milk to drink, and only fed this kid rice soup for a few days, until the house found a suitable nurse, but she almost starved Chen Han to death.

Speaking of which, he and Chen Han can also be regarded as nursing brothers.

Hua Chen couldn't help but feel a sense of intimacy, stretched out his hand and grabbed Chen Han's shoulder and lifted him up, "Stand up, don't mother-in-law." ”

When he was about to say something more, he saw a group of tenants dressed in coarse cloth not far away, and there were hundreds of them.

Those people had anger on their faces, and it was obvious that they were not good, and they didn't look like they had come to kowtow to him and his sister......

Hua Chen's heart jumped, "Oh no! ”

Hua Jin saw Chen's mother's childlike expression, and knew that something was going to happen.

Just as he was about to ask, there was a loud noise outside.

Bai Tao walked into the inner room quickly, came in and said, "Fifth girl, there seem to be a lot of people gathered at the gate. ”

Hua Jin's delicate brows frowned slightly, and he looked at Chen's mother.

Chen's mother's lips moved, and just as she wanted to speak, the curtain in the inner room was raised.

Hua Chen walked in quickly, with a little anxiety in his expression, "Sister, there are more than 100 tenants gathered at the gate, saying that they owe us rent and can't afford to pay it, so they are making trouble to ask for rent reduction." ”

Seeing that his brother had already understood the situation outside, Hua Jin was slightly relieved, "Then who is dealing with it outside now?" ”

"Zhuangtou Baishan and his mother-in-law said that they were going to hand over notes to the government and arrest these tenants."

"No!"

A frightened voice sounded in the room, followed by a "plop", and Chen's mother knelt in front of their brother and sister.

Hua Chen's eyes widened, as if he didn't expect this scene to happen, but Hua Jin stepped forward to help the person clearly, "Mother Chen, get up and talk, there is something that our master and servant will solve together." ”

Mother Chen didn't get up right away, looking at Hua Jin's slender jade fingers tightly holding her vulgar palm, the feeling in her heart turned a thousand times, "It's the old slave's fault!" ”

Hua Chen looked at this scene, his mind turned, his frowning brows stretched out, and he knew what was happening outside, and a seemingly nonexistent smile broke out at the corner of his mouth, "Mother Chen, get up!" Making up for mistakes is the best policy! ”

Mother Chen raised her head, looked at the two masters, and saw that Hua Chen was so smart and frank, Hua Jin smiled and encouraged her, her heart moved, she straightened up and stood up from the ground, "It was the old slave who brought these tenants here to make trouble." ”

Hua Jin nodded, and did not continue to dwell on this issue, but asked, "How much stone rice do these tenants owe to our Zhuangzi?" ”

"The amount of food owed by each household ranges from a few stones to a dozen stones."

Hua Chen also asked: "How much rent do we collect every year?" ”

"The rent on our farm was originally based on the climate and harvest of the year, ranging from one stone to two buckets or one stone to four buckets per acre of land."

Hua Chen listened and nodded.

Hua Jin continued to ask, "What about now?" ”

"In the past few years, the harvest has not been good, but it has risen to six buckets with one stone."

Hua Jin was thoughtful, and Zhang Huachen said: "What is the current price of rice?" ”

Back to the fourth young master, "One stone of rice, one tael and five coins of silver." ”

"That is, how many taels to a dozen taels of silver do these tenants owe?"

A dozen taels of silver?

Hua Jin was not surprised, this is a big girl's monthly silver for a year in their Zhangfu.

But the meaning of income and liabilities is completely different.

For these tenants who face the loess and turn their backs to the sky, the family toiled hard for a year, and in the end, not only did they not get a penny, but they also had to bear debts that could not be repaid.

It's really asking for someone's life!

Hua Jin sighed helplessly, "Mother Chen, when did these tenants start to owe rent?" ”

"Three years ago."

"That is, after Bai Zhuangtou came here?"

Mother Chen nodded, "The old slave really can't look at it, these hard-working tenants ......"

"Mother Chen, I understand."

"The main thing is ......"

This time, Hua Jin didn't wait for Chen's mother to finish speaking, and said: "The most important thing is that this is the Zhuangzi left by my mother, and you can't leave it alone." ”

Mother Chen nodded, "The old slave has no malicious intentions, he just wants to poke this matter out and let the fourth young master and the fifth girl know." ”

Hua Jin smiled slightly, "Mother Chen, I understand." If we had believed you earlier, you wouldn't have had to go through such a hard time. ”

Hearing that she was so understood, Chen's mother was even more encouraged, "Fourth young master, fifth girl, that Bai Zhuangtou and his mother-in-law not only oppressed the tenants, but also did evil, and actually forcibly married a good girl from a tenant family in this town for their stupid son. ”

Hearing this, Hua Jin couldn't help but be angry.

Hua Chen also slapped heavily on the kang table, and the tea cup made a crisp clanging sound.

I couldn't help gritting my teeth and asked, "Sister, will we sit idly by and ignore this matter?" ”

Hua Jin sneered: "Manage, of course you have to manage it, and you have to manage it to the end." ”

Hua Jin thought about it for a while, and looked like he had already made up his mind, "It's better for my brother to settle this matter first!" After speaking, he whispered a few words in Hua Chen's ear.

Hua Chen nodded again and again after hearing this, turned around and strode out.

Hua Jin ordered Bai Tao to bring her cloak over.

Chen's mother said hurriedly: "Fifth girl, you are a boudoir woman......"

"It's okay. With my brother here, I just glanced at it from afar. ”

Chen's mother nodded, and then she was relieved.

When he got out of the house, Hua Jin felt that he had just come out of the warm room, and the cold wind blew people and wanted to retreat.

Walking quickly to the gate, I saw that the tenants were still gathered here, and the crowd was excited.

Standing on the steps in front of the door was his brother Hua Chen.

At this time, someone suddenly shouted: "The son wearing the crane is the master of this Zhuangzi!" ”

After this call, Hua Jin saw that everyone's eyes fell on his brother.

"Young Master, let's call the shots for us!" The tenants even knelt down to their brother again.

Even Hua Jin felt the pressure.
