Lin Xiuhe's team had already arrived twenty miles outside Beijing.

Lin Yan said that she would go back to Zhuangzi to clean up the yard for her brother.

Zong Yunjing hurriedly sent him out like a plague god, for fear that this bear child's brain would be hot and cause trouble.

However, when Chu Shi turned around unconcernedly, he found the smile on the corner of his eldest son's mouth, and his heart warmed.

No matter what Lin Yan found for this child, it was always a good thing to make him not hide in the house every day and become more gloomy.

Lin Xiuhe had to first enter the palace with Song Guogong to offer prisoners, and then wash up and participate in the palace banquet, and finally he could say that he came to Zhuangzi outside Beijing to find his father and sister.

So during this time, Lin Yan needed to go to Zhuangzi to clean up a small yard for Lin Xiuhe.

Although Zhuangzi repaired it in a hurry, it was no longer the hot spring courtyard where Lin Lechang lived before, but a new courtyard was built on the old foundation that had been burned down before.

Lin Xiuhe is already an adult, and it is impossible to squeeze another yard with Lin Yan or Lin Xiuhe.

She was busy ordering someone to clean up the new courtyard for her brother, and she personally picked things out of the warehouse.

Before I could pick anything, I heard the commotion outside.

Xiao Zhuangzi is not good at this, what cats and dogs outside, a big fart can alarm the master.

Lu Luo frowned and went out, scolding: "What are you arguing about? ”

A housekeeper surnamed He on Zhuangzi hurriedly came in and replied: "Miss Luluo, it's no big deal. ”

"It's not a big deal?" Lu Luo said: "I didn't say anything about the quarrel before, but now the masters are all living in Zhuangzi, in case of a collision with you, is it responsible?" ”

He Pozi was also embarrassed, this little Zhuangzi has changed hands several times, and now it has fallen into the hands of Lin Yan.

In previous years, those buyers were interested in the small hot springs on Zhuangzi, and they only came to stay for a day or two in winter, and there were few people like Lin Yan who came to stay at every turn.

It's okay to say that the subordinates on Zhuangzi buy and resettle, but the tenants on Zhuangzi have never changed, and loyalty cannot be talked about at all.

Because they often change hands, the tenants do not know who the master is, sometimes harsh and sometimes generous, and there is no long-term charter.

The person who made trouble today was the daughter-in-law of a tenant family in the village.

He Pozi said: "The tenant's surname is Wang, he has no children, and he follows his nephew to support the elderly. The niece and daughter-in-law are well-known pimplers, and they have to make trouble from time to time. ”

After hearing this, Lu Luo asked, "Trouble?" Why is the master here to make trouble? ”

Mrs. He is Lin Yan's mother's dowry, and she has been helping to take care of the affairs of Zhuangzi, because she is familiar with this, Lin Yan transferred her here to help manage it.

In a few months, she had almost a thorough understanding of the situation.

She lowered her voice and said: "Wang Laohan is sick, and this daughter-in-law is shouting that she lacks money to see a doctor, and either the main family will give her money or exempt her family's rent." ”

Lu Luo's eyebrows furrowed: "I'm sick and short of silver, is it our trouble?" Let her inquire about it, is there anything nearby that is less rent than the girl's? People collect eighty percent, but we only collect seventy percent, in order to make the tenants live a better life. ”

"Now they still have to make inches, they are just tenants, and they are not children, how can we pay to see if we are sick?" Lu Luo was angry: "Even if she has a child, she still pays for her own medical treatment if she is shameless in front of her masters, what is she arguing about here?" ”

Before the words fell, the sharp voice of the daughter-in-law of the Wang family outside came in: "Mrs. He! What did you do in there? Did you tell the Lord's house? What the hell came out to give an explanation! ”

He Pozi was angry: "Miss Luluo, I saw her pitiful before, I stuffed ten taels of silver for her." Later, when I went to the village to inquire, I didn't use Wang Laohan at all. ”

The sound outside seemed to be quiet, and a little maid ran in to say that the daughter-in-law of the Wang family had been persuaded to leave.

He Pozi and Lu Luo both breathed a sigh of relief, their grandfather was about to go home, and the girl was busy, so she didn't want to make any trouble at this time.

Who knew that Lin Yan hadn't left the warehouse yet, and the daughter-in-law of the Wang family put her uncle on a small cart and pushed it to the door of Zhuangzi.

Behind him were first some village children, and then many villagers came up in twos and threes.

This is a posture that is going to make trouble bigger.

Lin Yan finally came out, frowning and listening to Mrs. He explain the matter from the beginning.

In the end, Mrs. He sighed: "It's all to blame on the slave maid, thinking that I can destroy the wealth and eliminate the disaster, who knows that it is one, it is a ...... who is not greedy enough and has to make inches."

Lin Yan interrupted her: "You are also kind, and there is no way to meet this kind of person." ”

But a rural village woman dares to play tricks at her door, who gave her the guts?

"This daughter-in-law's family, is there no one to take care of her?" Lin Yan asked with a calm face.

Mrs. He told the troublesome daughter-in-law's family situation: "This Wang Laohan still fled to Beijing with his parents, and settled here after the establishment of the dynasty. The daughter-in-law died a long time ago, leaving behind a man and half a girl, and no one in the family was willing to marry after being poor. ”

His brother had a son, but unfortunately he couldn't stand up, so he listened to his daughter-in-law, and made his in-laws angry to death. Wang Laohan can't do work when he is old, so he can only rely on his nephew to live."

The whole family occupied Wang Laohan's yard, so they built a shed at the door for the old man to live, and two meals could be delivered in three days, which would be considered kindness. There was a neighbor who couldn't look past to feed the old man some food, so she blocked the door of the house and scolded her, and slowly no one cared about their family affairs. ”

Lin Yan wore a hat and helped Lu Luo out of the door of Zhuangzi, and Dark Xiang and Shuying were rolling up their sleeves to quarrel with the woman.

Shuying raised his voice and said, "There has never been a tenant who has ever been sick and asked for money for the master's family to see a doctor. Our family is kind-hearted, and we have already given you ten taels of silver before, why are you making trouble again today? ”

There were also people from the village in the crowd, and when they heard that the daughter-in-law of the Wang family had already received ten taels of silver, they said angrily: "Ten taels of silver? It's been more than half a year to chew our crops! The Wang family, why didn't you see you treating Uncle Wang? ”

The daughter-in-law of the Wang family was barefoot and was not afraid of being crossed, and scolded at the crowd: "You shameless Lai San, you look like a bear, what's the matter with you?" Ten taels of silver, you look good, the old lady is not rare! ”

She turned around and shouted at Lin Yan: "You rich and noble people eat dozens of taels at a meal, and sending me ten taels is regarded as a good deed?" Phew! The old man in my family has no ...... this disease You just watched your tenants die of poverty, starvation, and disease, but you didn't reach out to help! ”

"For the sake of the rich and unkind, I will go to the capital to shout grievances, and let the Long Live Lord see that there are still such profiteers in our Great Zhou Dynasty!" The daughter-in-law of the Wang family howled dryly.

Lin Yan's eyes flashed, it seems that the daughter-in-law of the Wang family doesn't know the details of the dealer's family, so she dares to make such a fuss.

Shuying was angry: "Then you admit that you have already given you the money to treat the doctor, why did you say that you didn't give it as soon as you opened your mouth?" I gave the money but didn't go to the doctor, and I still wanted to reduce the rent? Why do you think so much about good things? ”

Mother He is right, this is a broken household with greed, laziness, and greed, she is not poor and intolerable!

The daughter-in-law of the Wang family is not reasonable at all, so she just scolds and scolds with her throat.

The man said, "Twenty taels of silver for a scolding; If you can make trouble with the yamen of the official palace in Beijing, it will be one hundred taels.

I didn't expect that the old man would die, and he could still be a tool for her to make money, and he didn't feed him in vain.
