Nie Heng glanced at the title deed, paused, and said with a smile: "My cousin specially brought this with me, shouldn't he be planning to return me?" ”

Sure enough, it's the eldest cousin, and he can't hide anything. Wen Yi sent the title deed forward: "I really can't accept it." Big cousin, you can take it back. ”

Nie Heng was silent for a long time before he sighed: "You are unwilling to accept the compensation of your eldest cousin, but you still have resentment in your heart?" ”

Wen Yi was shocked and hurriedly said, "Of course not!" I have not lost anything, but I have gained a lot of benefits because of the help of my uncle, aunt and eldest cousin, and it would not be too much to take this land again? Who have I become?! Biting his lip, he glanced at him a little slyly: "If the eldest cousin really regards me as a sister, take this back quickly, otherwise...... It's just that you have a part with me, and you don't think of me as your own family! ”

Nie Heng was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "I actually have a time when someone is trapped......

Wen Yi smiled, stuffed the title deed into his hand, and said, "Big cousin, you want to give me this land because you feel ashamed of me, don't you?" Do you think my aunt's actions have caused me to lose a piece of hot spring land? ”

Nie Heng glanced at her silently and shook his head: "It's not for this, even if there is no mother to intervene, your family will not buy that piece of land, the hot springs are good, but you need more arable land to produce." ”

"Isn't that what it is?!" Wen Yi was a little surprised, "Since the eldest cousin understands, what is there to be guilty about?!" ”

Nie Heng sighed: "If it is...... Mother held back, I asked your ancestors and grandchildren what they meant first, and then I went to buy it after getting the letter, and I naturally wouldn't have a second word. It's just that...... She buys what you like before you know it. But you asked our family to help with the cooking. This is unfaithful, and it is not righteous. Even if it is a merchant family, it also pays attention to integrity, not to mention that our Nie family is still a scholarly eunuch. You and our family are flesh and blood, and you are an orphan daughter without a father or mother, not to mention that you begged our family, even if you don't, we should take the initiative to help you. But now, ......" paused, and lowered his voice a little, "The family doesn't have much money left, and when I bought the land, the land rent had not yet arrived, but the government was in a hurry, so I ...... The family sold the property in Pingyang City, and my mother originally planned to sell the small village that was prepared for you last time, so I bought a lot of land, but I was stopped by what I said. You already occupy the hot springs and forests, so you can't take all the good land you fancie, right? Then our family really doesn't even have face left! ”

Wen Yi listened to his words, but she didn't know how to respond. There is often farmland, and there is even more fertile land, but such cheap and good land is unattainable. If her aunt really bought all this piece of land, she really couldn't get close to her uncle's family anymore...... She smiled reluctantly and said, "Uncle's idea is not clever, although that small village is small, there are ten hectares of land, and it is still cultivated." No matter how cheap the land is, it will take a few years to operate before it looks like it. How can there be a reason to sell good land and exchange it for ordinary land? ”

Nie Heng didn't smile, just lowered his head: "Mother...... I didn't take the production of this land seriously...... When I found the hot springs, I inadvertently said that if I build a house here, plant a large peach forest, enjoy the flowers in spring, eat peaches in summer, and soak in hot springs in autumn and winter, don't pay attention to mundane things, and when I am interested, I will read books, stroke the piano, and play music, isn't it a fairy-like day? As soon as my father came home and told my mother, she had this idea...... In order to make my life more comfortable, my parents even had the plan to sell their land and buy a peach forest, and they didn't even care about my sister's dowry when she got married in the future...... For me alone, a word of unintentional words will cause my parents to lose their faith, my sister to lose her marriage, my cousin to lose her property, and the friendship between the two families has been damaged again......"

Wen Yi hurriedly interrupted him: "Big cousin! It's not your fault, it's just an unintentional remark, so how can I blame you?! ”

Nie Heng smiled bitterly: "Although it was unintentional, if I hadn't said that, if I hadn't been in good health, if I hadn't stopped my mother, if I hadn't ...... I was so worried about my father and mother's hard work that I didn't dare to make any effort to stop it...... Things won't come to this point......"

The cousins were speechless for a while, and after a while, Nie Heng reluctantly smiled and handed the title deed forward: "Take it, now...... I really don't have much spare money at home, and that ten-hectare village is my sister's biggest dowry, this ...... It's the only thing I can compensate you for...... Although...... A little less......"

Wen Yi shook her head and pushed the title deed back: "Big cousin, listen to me." Regardless of whether your aunt and uncle are untrustworthy or not, they are all for you. Pity the hearts of parents all over the world...... For the sake of the eldest cousin, the second elder really can't take care of anything......" her eyes reddened slightly, and she hurriedly lowered her head and wiped it lightly, "It's a pity that I don't have this blessing, and I lost my parents early...... If I had been replaced, I would have parents who cared for me like this, and I would never have made them angry and sad! The Nie family has no money to spare, so whether this land is sold to others, or whether they grow some vegetables and fruits for money, they can increase their income. Does the eldest cousin want to watch his parents and sister being wronged, and give me this unnecessary compensation? ”

Nie Heng smiled: "Where did you get to that point?" The land rent is about to be delivered, and there are still a few properties in the next year, and our family is not at that point. It's just that in the past month or two, the money has been a little tighter. ”

"That's it." Wen Yi said, "I see that the land of my eldest cousin's family has not yet begun to be renovated, and I have to build a house and replant fruit trees, which costs a lot, right?" If you can't prepare it before winter, won't this land be barren until next spring?! Big cousin, you're the smartest person, why are you so confused?! She took the land deed, folded it carefully, and solemnly put it back in Nie Heng's hand: "You bought this land from your uncle and aunt, right?" If the second elder knows, he will always have some thoughts in his heart. You can't tell me to have sex with my uncle and aunt, can you?! ”

Nie Heng was dumbfounded, thinking about it, his father just returned it, after all, the property that he planned to give to his cousin was not given away, and now he can't send it anymore, taking a piece of wasteland as compensation, my father may still feel that it is insufficient, but my mother ...... It's really hard to guarantee that there will be no complaints, her old man would never have thought that this was her son's own opinion, and would only blame her cousin, in case she would lose her uncle's family to rely on...... He looked at the title deed in his hand and smiled bitterly: "In vain, I prided myself on being smart, but I didn't expect that I would be confused again and again, and almost affected my cousin." ”

Wen Yi looked at the gloomy color between his eyebrows, and seemed to have a stronger heart of self-abandonment, thinking that it would not work like this, but after thinking about it, he changed his smile and said, "Big cousin, actually, your family bought this land, which is very good for me." I would like to thank you for saying that unintentional remark, it helped me a lot! ”

Nie Heng glanced at her, still smiling bitterly: "What reason have you come up with to comfort people?" ”

When Wen Yi heard him say this, she knew that this reason was not easy to fool, but she still continued: "You think, this land is so big, I can't buy it all in the first place, so naturally some of it will go to someone else." It also happens to be on the side of the main road, and there is Zhuangzi opposite, if there are no mountain bandits, there will be many people interested. My aunt also said that because the mountain bandits were destroyed and my uncle inquired about this land in the yamen, many people had already come to see the land? This is an ordinary hillside, and apart from the fields below, only the hot springs are the most attractive. If my aunt hadn't made a decision to buy this hot spring land, I don't know who would have fallen here! The land that our two families bought was originally close to each other, and you have changed the owner here, if you are a domineering person, maybe you will bully our family far away from Pingyin, and try to find a way to find land, then I will not lose both wealth and land?! ”

Nie Heng couldn't help but laugh: "Where did it get to this point?" Domineering people don't look down on such a place. Besides, Mother could have asked your grandmother and you what they meant, and then went back and bought it, and it would have been done in less than two days, not too late. ”

Wen Yi sighed: "Big cousin, you are confused again, how can anyone predict the future?" Now that we look at it backwards, we naturally think that my aunt had enough time to ask us before buying it, but she didn't know at the time?! What if someone strikes first while she's going to Gu Zhuang?! Not to mention that there is an uncle, the yamen will keep the land, if that person is rich and rich, and the yamen is not opened by the uncle, why should he hold on to the ground?! It can be seen that my aunt was ...... at that time In fact, I was forced to buy the land thanks to her, so I wouldn't be forced to be with my evil neighbors?! ”

Nie Heng couldn't laugh or cry when he heard it, pointed at Wen Yi, and felt that he couldn't refute it, so he could only sigh in the end: "I only think that my cousin Sven is well-behaved, but I didn't expect that there was a good mouth...... According to you, my mother not only did not harm your interests, but helped you a lot?! It's just a pity for the evil neighbor who doesn't know his identity, he didn't do anything, and he carried the black cauldron! ”

Wen Yi smiled embarrassedly, lowered her head and said, "Big cousin, don't laugh, I'm just worried that you have something on your mind, which is harmful to your body...... Actually, I really don't think that my aunt has anything to do with me, on the contrary, my uncle, aunt and eldest cousin have given me a lot of benefits, and if I still have resentment, it will be too much, and I can't live up to my uncle, aunt, cousin and cousin...... Please don't take this matter to heart again, if you still ...... I don't want to go, so if there is anything in our family's field that can't be taken care of, please take care of it more than my eldest cousin......"

"You've said that, what else can I do?" Nie Heng looked at the title deed and sighed helplessly, "Then I'll collect it for you first, and manage it with heart for a few years." After that, he glanced at Wen Yi with a meaningful gaze, "It's not too late to deal with it in the future." ”

Wen Yi felt something, and blushed slightly, but she was a little unwilling, so she retorted: "The eldest cousin described the Taolin Hot Spring so charmingly, don't forget to give me two baskets of peaches when the time comes!" ”

Nie Heng smiled: "Of course it's no problem, your sister also asked me to plant some cherry trees, and when the house is built, plant a few more bamboos, grow bamboo shoots, and send you two baskets!" ”

Wen Yi smiled while observing his expression, feeling that the gloomy color between his eyebrows was much lighter, and he relaxed a little, and then introduced him to the dried fish sauce of Zhuangzi's specialty under the mountain, as well as the scenery on the mountain. The cousins chatted all the way, and Shi Shiran went down the mountain.

Back in the courtyard, Wen Yi went to see her grandmother first, and saw that her spirit had recovered a lot, so she told her about the return of the title deed, and talked about the layout of the fields and woodlands. When Mrs. Lu heard that Nie Heng didn't take care of her own work and prepared the land for them first, she sighed: "The Nie family's upbringing is still passable, but it's a pity that she was too careless when she married someone." ”

These words are almost a satire of the Qin family's poor upbringing. Wen Yi didn't dare to talk, so she opened the topic: "Why isn't Zi Ying here?" Aunt Zhang doesn't seem to be outside. Grandmother is in the house, is there not even a waiter? ”

Mrs. Lu said indifferently: "Zi Ying went to the village to eat Zhang Luo's dishes for dinner, Aunt Zhang was still there when I first woke up, and she disappeared after a while, and Uncle Zhang was not there, maybe the two of them were talking." The landlord came here and said a few words with me, which was a little interesting. I look at this daughter-in-law, she doesn't look like an ordinary peasant woman, her words and etiquette carry everyone's atmosphere, but look at her bearing, she doesn't seem to be a noble person, probably a maid waiting in a big house somewhere, married to a commoner outside. It's a pity that it's also unlucky, and she ...... at a young age" Speaking of this, she thought of herself and sighed.

Wen Yi asked in a low voice: "But is it a woman wearing an indigo shirt, a water-colored skirt, a bare bun, and only a plain silver hairpin?" When she returned, her granddaughter saw her going in the direction of Zhuangzi, presumably just talking to her grandmother. ”

Mrs. Lu nodded, and Wen Yi said: "It's hard for her to have a heart, and she also sent fresh fruits and corn at noon, but our family never left the master alone, and the servant woman went out by herself." Zi Ying received an errand, but she just paid it back, what happened to Aunt Zhang? There is no one else in the courtyard except my grandmother, if it is not a good citizen, how can it be good?! ”

Old Madam Lu sighed: "That's it, just endure it for two more days, after all, it is an old man for decades, you should give Lao Zhang a little face." ”

Wen Yi knew that this was what her grandmother said before, about the management methods of Xintian property, she asked in a low voice: "Grandmother, do you really want to keep Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang down?" Uncle Zhang is too honest and may not be able to do it, and he lets Aunt Zhang everywhere, in case there is anything wrong...... "It's not that she is too careful, this property is related to the future livelihood of Liufang, of course she must be cautious."

"With the Nie family watching, what kind of mess can the two of them have?!" Mrs. Lu disagreed, "No matter how honest Lao Zhang is, the rules will not be wrong, will you be so confused that he will let his wife support him?!" ”

Wen Yi really didn't have much confidence, but her grandmother had already decided, so she had to listen.

On the second day, the Nie family sent a housekeeper to report to Mrs. Lu the preliminary preparations that had been made on the Gu family's land these days, and put forward several suggestions on the types of crops to be planted and the management of the fields. Mrs. Lu rewarded him with a big seal, sent the people away, and let Ziying go out to guard the courtyard gate, leaving only Wen Yi in the house, and summoned Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang in.

After listening to Mrs. Lu's words, Uncle Zhang was already stunned. Aunt Zhang immediately knelt down and cried: "Old lady, be gracious!" The little couple is loyal to the old lady and the young lady, can you listen to Zi Ying's little hooves and drive the little couple away?! ”

Wen Yi frowned and reprimanded, "What does this have to do with Zi Ying?!" Isn't it a good thing that my grandmother appointed Uncle Zhang to be the steward and manage the land here? What are you crying for?! ”

Aunt Zhang just cried blindly and begged Mrs. Lu for mercy. She has only been here for a day, and she knows that this is a poor mountain village, how can it be compared to the prosperity of Guzhuang?! Promotion? That's a nice point! She would rather be a cook in Guzhuang for the rest of her life, as if she was working hard in this poor place!

Mrs. Lu was tired of hearing this, and ignored her, but just asked Uncle Zhang, "Are you willing?" This matter is very important, and you can't trust each other unless you are a cronie, and I really can't find a more suitable person except for you. Of course, if you are really in trouble, I ...... too."

"The little ones are willing!" Uncle Zhang reacted immediately, knelt down happily and kowtowed to thank him.

Aunt Zhang screamed and grabbed him, and said to Mrs. Lu: "Old lady, he is stunned and confused, don't listen to him, he is so stupid, where did he do this errand......"

"Shut up!" Uncle Zhang shouted at his wife and scolded, "What nonsense?!" You're stunned! ”

Aunt Zhang was stunned, her husband actually scolded her...... She has never dared to disobey her husband...... You actually scolded her?!
