Chapter 320: Prepare for a big fight
For a time, the matter of the Li family's acceptance of three concubines in one day was rumored to be a beautiful talk.
Men envy Li Juren, and women laugh at Qian Zhuer.
Which serious person would give her husband a concubine, three at a time, and give the dowry silver to her husband's family for a new house, the purpose is still because the husband can't live in the house when he takes a concubine.
Some people speculate that it was because Qian Zhu'er was not in good health and could not conceive an heir that she had to make such compromises.
In the end, everyone agreed with this speculation, after all, Qian Zhuer's poor health is a fact that everyone can see.
What outsiders don't know is that after the newcomer entered the door, Qian Zhuer set up rules for them, no one was allowed to fight for one person and nine days a month, and her husband would come to her room on the day of the tenth.
The reason is that she is taking medicine and her body is inconvenient, so she will not fight with them.
If it weren't for the fear of arousing the man's suspicion, she wouldn't want to sleep in the same bed with him for the three days of the tenth.
Everyone can see that Qian Zhu'er has really changed.
In the past, she didn't touch the spring water with her fingers, but now she has learned to cook food for her husband herself, and she respects her father-in-law even more, and takes three concubines to ask for peace every day.
Get up early every day to wash your hands and make soup for your husband, and then lead three concubines to send her husband to the door, and in the evening, when her husband is about to get home, she leads three concubines to the door to greet her.
A family of five sat at a table to eat, not only did they not have to stand aside to serve, but they also indulged in eating at the same table, and did not ask them anything other than to greet them every day.
is really a family of sisters, even Old Man Li can no longer find fault with her, and he couldn't be more satisfied with this daughter-in-law.
When he went out to chat and play chess with his old neighbors and friends, he felt that his face was shining.
Even the old father thinks so, Li Juren, the beneficiary, naturally enjoys his current life very much.
Every day when he goes out to work, he is full of red face, and he has won the envy of his colleagues.
Shen Huarou was waiting, she believed that the current result was definitely not the final result that Qian Zhu'er wanted.
It's just that she also underestimated Qian Zhu'er's patience, and she didn't wait for any news for two months.
And Zhuangzi's renovation was on the agenda, and she and her second brother He Yuanjing went to the neighborhood to see it, and even discussed the sale of land with the villagers who held the land, which naturally failed.
If it weren't for the fact that life was really unbearable and the silver was urgently needed, no one would have sold the land, and the land was the foundation of their settlement, and no one would buy it even if they added silver.
"The basic reason why they are unwilling is in the future security, if I hire them to work in Zhuangzi and sign a contract with them, they will have security in their future life, will they be willing?"
Shen Huarou thought about this method for a long time before she came up with it, and she signed contracts with tenants like this before, and they all worked very hard.
Meng Jingyao couldn't think of this, but she had to splash cold water, "Sister-in-law, you forgot, the tenants don't have land in the first place." ”
He Yuanjing has worked with land and tenant farmers more than both, and he understands better how important land is to farmers.
"If it really doesn't work, let's buy the mountains first."
Shen Huarou also thinks so, this is also a way out.
But Meng Jingyao didn't want to just forget it, she still wanted to do a big job.
Looking at the fields connected to the villages, Meng Jingyao suddenly thought of an excellent solution.
"Second brother, sister-in-law, I have a way.
We are not only important land, but also villages.
Let's go back and deliberate, and let's take a walk. ”
Shen Huarou and He Yuanjing were forcibly pulled back by her, but fortunately, she was not carried away by the excitement, and she still remembered that Shen Huarou was pregnant and couldn't walk too fast.
On the way, no matter how they asked, Meng Jingyao looked like she had satisfied their appetite.
When they arrived at the study where they were discussing, Meng Jingyao also instructed Yangchun to be outside and closed the door again.
"What are you doing that you can't see anyone?" Shen Huarou was even more puzzled when she saw this.
"It's not that I can't see anyone, but I'm afraid that others will listen to it, but it's not easy to do, and it will disrupt my plan."
She said mysteriously, the more she did this, the more Shen Huarou and He Yuanjing became more curious, the two looked at each other, and they didn't urge her, He Yuanjing also made tea himself and waited for her to sit down.
Shen Huarou also sat down and waited for her, looking like she was listening.
The curiosity of the two of them has been aroused along the way, and after sitting down, Meng Jingyao will not gossip with them, after all, it is a serious matter.
"I'm going to discuss something big with Wen County Order, you guys will talk about it first and see how much principal you can come up with."
As she spoke, Meng Jingyao glanced at Shen Huarou seriously, "Did you give all the money to the third brother?" ”
Shen Huarou mentioned this to her, and she suddenly remembered.
Shen Huarou nodded, "I gave it all, and said that the capital of the expansion would be borrowed from you and the second brother." ”
He Yuanjing was about to speak, when he saw Meng Jingyao wave his hand to stop, "If we talk about borrowing or not borrowing, it's polite."
Then I don't ask you, how much silver can you take out, second brother? ”
He Yuanjing thought about it and reported a number, but Meng Jingyao was obviously dissatisfied.
"I can have 40,000 more than you, but we only add up to less than 200,000, counting the cost to be used, I don't know if it's enough?"
She didn't have a place to use the silver on weekdays, so she saved all the red she shared, and now she finally had a time to use it.
Shen Huarou was more curious about her idea than counting the silver, "Don't talk about the silver in advance, it's okay for me to go back and borrow some from my eldest brother."
Let's talk about what the idea is. ”
He Yuanjing also said, "If it's not enough, then think of a way, the key is the idea." ”
has been urged, Meng Jingyao immediately didn't care about whether the silver was silver or not, and began to talk about her thoughts.
"I want to collect the fields and villages of the two nearby villages, and then all of them will be counted in the renovation of our mountain villa.
I know what you're all worried about, so I'll start by telling you about it.
We signed an agreement with the villagers, as long as they are willing to sell us their homesteads and fields, we will choose another place to rebuild their houses, and we will ensure that they are all blue brick and tiled houses.
We will build them as big as the house they live in now.
The fields and homesteads were sold to our people, and we signed a deed of work with them, guaranteeing that each family would have three adults to work.
Three adults can earn more than they can farm.
As long as they are diligent, do not make mistakes and are not lazy, we promise that we will never dismiss them.
Their livelihood is secured, and they find that their lives are getting better day by day, better than their farming, and they will no longer worry about the fields.
The first three families who come to sign a contract with us can get an extra big tiled house. ”
