One acre of land doesn't sound like much, but at the beginning, it was all fertile land, and one acre could produce two stones of grain, so it could be sold for one or two pieces of silver.

Xiao Wang's family thought that he still wanted to study for Shuncai, that was not the business of the big house itself, and he was admitted by Shuncai, isn't it good to be in the other rooms?

She hypocritically covered the corners of her eyes with her sleeves: "Yo, what does Arwen mean, could it be that your uncle has helped your family with abduction all these years?" Woo, I want to tell him not to go, is that the days of service a human life? The wind and rain were blowing, I couldn't eat enough and didn't wear warm, and my movements were a little slower, and I called the official to give a good beating. ”

Luo Shi in the fourth room also hurriedly helped: "That's it, you can't be this white-eyed wolf, poor my family Haizi, when he was only a little old, he had to help his third brother to serve, but now it's okay, a good word can't fall, but people secretly scold us for thinking about the field." ”

The two whimpered and cried, and the Wang family was even more angry, "Third child, is this what you mean?" ”

As soon as Mu Yue was anxious to shake his head, Mu Xiwen spoke calmly: "Listening to the words of the eldest aunt and the fourth aunt, I want to ask my niece and son-in-law to serve in place of Sanfang in the future, and at the same time, you don't want to return the mu of land that belongs to Sanfang, right?" ”

The two of them stopped crying for a moment, and soon continued to cry miserably again.

Only the people in the second room looked left and right awkwardly, and the second uncle Mu Chuan hesitated and said: "Awen, your uncle didn't mean that." At the beginning, my father said that in the future, if there are people who can serve in the third room, this field will be returned, and we will definitely ......"

Before he finished speaking, Mu Shan suddenly glared at him, and then coughed: "Ahem!" Third brother, you see that over the years, several of our houses have been fattened, and now you have to take the field back with one mouth, isn't it good? ”

Mu Xiwen found that it was really not good to give these people some face to speak, did they think that the Sanfang family was all soft buns and let them rub them?

"Uncle, this is strange, at the beginning, it was all fertile land, and how much the output of an acre of land can be sold for does not need to be calculated in front of everyone now."

An awkward look flashed on Mu Chuan and Mu Hai's faces. This is also the reason why they are willing to serve in place of Mu Yue, the annual output of one mu of land can be exchanged for one tael of silver, and three acres of land in fourteen years can be exchanged for more than forty taels of silver.

They only serve a month's service every four years, and they can earn a few taels of silver from their own little family, and of course they are willing to do it.

Although it's a little sorry for the third brother

The third brother, but people don't destroy the heavens and the earth for themselves, they are all separated, so they naturally have to take care of their own small family.

Mu Xiwen swept the expressions of everyone on the table, and couldn't help but have a touch of mockery in his eyes. When Mu Qingsheng came up with this idea, it was actually for the good of everyone. The roof of the third room is lame, and I will definitely have to count on the other rooms to help in the future.

It's certainly more cost-effective to spend money on someone, but it may end up with a few brothers. Divide the land among several brothers, they took advantage of the three rooms, and they felt indebted, and they would help the three rooms a little more in the future.

Mu Qingsheng's original intention was very good, but he forgot that people's hearts are fickle. Maybe the brothers did feel guilty about Mu Yue at the beginning, but after a long time, not only did they lose their guilt, but they would also be dissatisfied, just like now, they didn't want to help Sanfang serve, and they wanted to completely occupy Sanfang's land.

If Mu Qingsheng is pressed, maybe a few brothers can still maintain the superficial brotherhood and brotherhood, but as soon as he dies, the Wang family, who is biased to the other side of the river, will not fall apart.

"Cry, cry, cry! I'm not dead yet! Wang stood up, his expression was distorted, and his spit was flying: "Third child, tell me what you mean, do you really want to be this white-eyed wolf?" ”

"Mother......" Mu Yue's face was full of pain, even though he had been accustomed to Wang's partiality over the years, he still felt extremely uncomfortable today. Is he not the same as the eldest brother and the fourth brother, is he the son of his mother? Why is she kind and gentle to her eldest brother, and obedient to her fourth brother, that is, she is always like an enemy to herself?

"That's it!" At this time, Mu Chuanhuoran, who was like an invisible person at home, slapped the table, "Dad said it at the beginning, what are you doing now?"

Over the years, if you want to take advantage, it is also the three of us who have taken advantage of the third brother! Third brother, the acre of land in our second room will be returned to you, don't shirk, this is what you deserve. After saying that, he went back to the room.

Wang's chest rose and fell violently in anger: "It's the other thing that the sky is upside down!" ”

Xiao Wang and Luo glanced at each other, and hurriedly said good things to divert the topic. The fools in the second room will pay it back if they want to, and they won't pay it back anyway.

Mu Xiwen didn't bother to watch them act, she knocked on the table and looked at Mu Shan. "Uncle, what do you mean?"

Mu Shan looked away, "Let's wait for Wei Xiaozi to agree, maybe we will continue to help Sanfang serve as a servant." ”

"It means that as long as Wei Ziyin agrees to serve the third room, the uncle and the fourth uncle will return the mu of land to the third room, right?"

Mu Shan nodded vaguely, and Mu Hai had no choice but to admit this condition.

"Okay." Mu Xiwen nodded, picked up the last steamed bun in the basin and slipped out with lightning speed. "I'll go to Wei Ziyin to discuss this matter."

Inside the house, Wang was so angry that he dropped his chopsticks.

"A money-loser! Now I'm thinking about subsidizing my husband's family with my mother's things! ”

The Mu family is at the end of Xihe Village, and a dozen minutes walk back is a path that winds towards the back mountain. Closer to the back mountain than the Mu family, only Wei Ziyin's family is the family.

Mu Xiwen held the steamed buns used to borrow flowers to offer Buddha, and walked straight to the outside of Wei Ziyin's house.

"Wei Ziyin? I'm Mu Xiwen, and I'm looking for you for something. ”

After a while, Wei Ziyin opened the door of the adobe house with a blank face.

Mu Xiwen just wanted to go in, but he slammed the door shut.

Looking at his back, Mu Xiwen raised his eyebrows, okay, lonely men and widows can't be in the same room.

She took a few steps to keep up with the other. "This is breakfast for you, haven't you eaten it yet?"

Wei Ziyin didn't even glance at Mu Xiwen and steamed buns, "What are you looking for me?" It's okay, I'm going to go back to reading. ”

Mu Xiwen shrugged his shoulders and ate the steamed bun himself.

"Uh...... Actually, there's something I want to trouble you...... Can you serve in my place this year? ”

Wei Ziyin: "......"

Although he didn't speak, Mu Xiwen still felt a rare trace of embarrassment from the silent air.

She walked quickly in front of Wei Ziyin, and then stared at his face backwards and spoke sincerely: "No, I mean pretending!" That's right, pretend! I'll find a way to make more money before I go to service, and then you don't have to serve. ”

“…… You still owe me ten denarii. ”

Mu Xiwen heard the meaning of his words, and was questioning where she went to get so much money. The ten taels of silver owed in front of me have not yet been seen, and now I have come to draw flatbread again.
