"You are very bold, the above requires that everything should be done in a simple way and must not be obstructed under any pretext, but you have given so many rules and regulations, and attached bribes, do you know that if you let the court know about this matter, you can be punished with a capital crime!" Huo Ran stared at the village chief, his tone cold.

The village chief choked.

This was also said by the county magistrate before, this is the bottom line above, so he can't obstruct it, he originally thought that these rural villagers must not know the laws issued above, so they can scare them, who knows that there is really a knowledgeable person here.

At this moment, Village Chief Yang was completely embarrassed, he was originally extremely powerful, but at this moment he was careful: "Misunderstanding!" It's all a misunderstanding! Am I not in a hurry? ”

Although Village Chief Yang begged for mercy like this, a haze flashed in his eyes, and anyone who dared to harm his good deeds would have to die.

"Okay, you village chief Yang, you are actually slandering us." Before Huo Ran could answer, Jiang Yan finally reacted when he heard this, and understood that Village Chief Yang was deliberately manipulating them, and just as he wanted to reason with the village chief, he was stopped by Father Jiang and glared at him.

The people don't fight with the officials, they are just ordinary people, and there are many people surnamed Yang in this Qingyun Village, so they don't have an advantage at all.

Jiang Yan pursed his lips aggrievedly, but did not say anything more.

"So Village Chief Yang, do you think they can stop this matter of clearing the wasteland?" Huo Ran looked at Village Chief Yang with a smile: "If Village Chief Yang is not convinced, you can find the county order to administer justice to you, and if you want to take revenge on me, you are welcome at any time." ”

Huo Ran's cold eyes as the moon seemed to be able to reflect the darkest place of human nature, which made Village Chief Yang, who originally planned to engage Huo Ran, sigh in his heart, could it be that he has a background?

"Don't dare! Can't! Their cultivation of wasteland is in accordance with the laws of the imperial court and can be developed freely. Village Chief Yang smiled awkwardly and accepted Huo Ran, and then said to Jiang's mother: "You can develop freely, although this is the dowry given to you by your family, but this is the place of Hongyang Village after all, you had better not plant." ”

"It's our own business, so I won't worry about it." Jiang Mupi smiled and scolded Village Chief Yang: "We are about to eat, and if we don't prepare the village chief's meal, we won't leave Village Chief Yang." ”

This obvious remark made the expression on Village Chief Yang's face stiffen again, and in the end he could only leave with a disgraced face.

After Village Chief Yang left, Jiang's mother came to Huo Ran with a smile on her face: "Xiao Huo, I've been busy for so long, I'm hungry, come and eat." ”

If Huo Ran hadn't stood up today, according to the temperament of the old man in her family, it was estimated that the sweet potato seedlings that had been planted with great difficulty would have been pulled out, so wouldn't the hard work they had done these days be in vain?

At this moment, Mother Jiang was sincerely grateful to Huo Ran.

As Jiang Mu spoke, she took the rice from the crockpot and handed it to Huo Ran.

Facing the overly enthusiastic Jiang Mu, Huo Ran's expression was a little unnatural, he took the rice bowl, smiled at Jiang Mugan, and his eyes fell on Jiang Mi for help.

And Jiang Mu noticed his gaze, and changed her body very naturally, blocking Huo Ran's sight.

Help her, she will receive this love, but if you want to think about this thing to get close to her daughter, there is no way.

Huo Ran, who was blocked from view: "......"

And Jiang Mi didn't notice the open and secret fight between the two at all, but at this moment, she was frowning and looking at the place where Village Chief Yang left.

Intuition told her that it was not so simple for Village Chief Yang to come to their house for trouble today.

Could it be that she is overthinking?

"Honey." Just as Jiang Mi was pondering, Jiang Yan's voice sounded in her ears, and then Jiang Yan stuffed a bowl of rice into her hand: "What do you want to be so distracted?" ”

Jiang Mi, who came back to her senses, pursed her lower lip, clenched her rice bowl, and looked at Jiang Yan: "Big brother, did you say that Village Chief Yang came to our family for trouble, did anyone instigate it?" ”

Jiang Yan frowned: "Maybe." Well, don't think so much, eat first, work hard when you are full, plant the land early, and I can go back to the town to work in the restaurant to earn more money. ”

Jiang Mi had no choice but to hastily finish the lunch, and in the afternoon they continued to plant sweet potato seedlings.

What surprised Jiang's mother was Huo Ran.

With fine skin and tender meat, he looked like a delicate son in the city, and he actually tossed with them for a day, without shouting bitterness or tiredness, and he did his work, he looked good, and he didn't have to choose.

This made Jiang Mugao glance at Huo Ran.

It's just that if there's one thing that's not good, he's always peeking at her honey while working, which is very annoying.

After a busy day's work, they finally planted sweet potatoes on the cleared land.

Just as they were packing up their hoes and about to leave, Huo Ran stopped them: "Auntie, I have something to discuss with you." ”

They turned to look at him.

"The sweet potatoes you grow, I will charge them at the price of one catty and one tael of silver." As soon as Huo Ran opened his mouth, it was a critical attack, which scared everyone in the Jiang family a lot.

Everyone in the Jiang family swallowed their saliva in unison.

Father Jiang was the first to react and looked at Huo Ran: "Really? ”

Huo Ran nodded, and took out the note that had been written long ago from his arms: "This is the note I have written, I have signed my name and stamped my handprint, as long as you sign your name, even if you have it, you are not afraid that I will regret it in the future, if you regret it, you can go to the government to sue me." ”

Saying that, he was afraid that Jiang's father would not believe it, so he took out a five hundred taels of silver ticket from his arms: "This is my deposit." ”

Father Jiang looked at him, then at the notes, and then at the silver tickets, but he didn't know what to do with it for a while.

At this moment, Jiang Mi took a step forward and took the silver ticket in Huo Ran's hand: "That's it." ”

Huo Ran smiled at her, didn't dwell too much, and turned to leave.

After Huo Ran left, everyone in the Huo family surrounded Jiang Mi, and Jiang's father frowned and looked at Jiang Mi: "Honey, is this child worth trusting?" And is this silver ticket really done? The value of one catty and one tael, we have about three acres of land, if this is according to the ancestors said, the yield per mu is 1,000 catties, that is to say, there are at least 3,000 catties, converted into silver, it is 3,000 taels of silver. ”

As soon as Jiang's father finished speaking, everyone in the Jiang family swallowed their saliva again and looked at Jiang Mi eagerly.

Jiang Mi nodded: "You can trust him." ”

Just when Jiang Mi was about to tell the previous thing, Jiang Mu came up and grabbed her and stopped her from saying it, but looked at everyone: "Everyone still remembers the previous five hundred taels, it was his, so his words can naturally be believed." ”

As for the money Huo Ran got today, she chose to hide it.

Jiang Mi glanced at Jiang Mu, and after receiving a look from Jiang Mu, after all, she didn't say the thousand five hundred taels that Huo Ran took out today.

"That's good." Jiang Cheng immediately decided: "I agreed to him." ”

"Dad, why don't we plant sweet potatoes in our fields? Our family also has two acres of land, which is two thousand taels. Jiang Yan also mentioned it at this time.

"Yes, yes, yes! I think the eldest brother has a point. Dad, why don't we plant the fields. The second sister-in-law also spoke in a hurry, as if she was afraid that if she spoke slowly, the silver would slip away.

"Dad, I also think it's feasible, this is two thousand taels, even if we have to pay taxes and grain, it can be converted into silver, even if it can't be converted, we can buy it from the grain store to fill this gap." The third sister-in-law, Su Yindi, also hurriedly spoke, her eyes were full of green light, that is thousands, they may not be able to earn so much in their lives, but now they only need to grow a little sweet potato.
