He Peng wanted to complain a few words, but seeing Si Mubai's serious face, he didn't continue.

At this time, Steward Li was waiting for these two people under the city wall, and as soon as he saw their figures, he immediately walked over, "Si Dalang, He Peng, you two have finally come down." ”

"You two have been building here all day, and you don't know the ......... of this year's crops."

After Steward Li saw them, he never stopped. But Si Mubai also heard the meaning of Steward Li's words, and he just wanted the two of them to go back and turn the wheat.

It's just that......... Si Mubai tightened his eyes, and then asked, "Steward Li, I wonder if my wife knows that I want to go back to help turn the wheat?" ”

Hearing this, Steward Li said with a smile, "Jiang Niangzi, she did mention it, she said that you don't know how to do these jobs, but you have excellent understanding and great strength." ”

"No, when I heard this, I hastened to find you."

Si Mubai nodded, it seemed that he had guessed correctly. Steward Li thought about this matter, and it really had something to do with her. It's just that he doesn't know what Jiang Dige is doing this for, and what kind of medicine is sold in her gourd.

At this time, in the courtyard of the Si family, Jiang Dige was accompanying the two children to read and write. She calculated the time and estimated that Si Mubai was about to come back.

"Si Shuo, Si Jin, my mother asks you a question, do you want your father to come back?"

"Come back?" The two children thought for a moment and nodded vigorously. But soon, his eyes fell into loneliness.

Si Shuo sighed, "Mother, what are we thinking, Daddy can't come back." He was very busy during the day, especially when he came back recently, looking tired. ”

Jiang Dige chuckled, she reached out and pinched Si Shuo's little face, "Who said your father can't come back?" It's not absolute, maybe I'll be able to come back! ”

The words fell, and Si Mubai's figure had already appeared outside the courtyard.

"Steward Li, I'll help tomorrow!"

Hearing this, the eyes of the two children lit up, "Mother, Daddy is really back!" ”

Jiang Dige smiled and nodded, it was good that Si Mubai could come back, and it would not be in vain for her to operate.

"Si Dalang, in fact, I brought the two of you back this time to thank Mrs. Jiang for her kindness. Her dedication to our Yunzhuang is seen by everyone. ”

"It was a chore to build the walls, and although the farm work was not idle, it was better than building the walls. My old man is old, but he is not a fool. ”

Si Mubai nodded, "No matter what, I still have to thank you." ”

Steward Li waved his hand, "It's okay, it's okay." It's all a gesture, so go back and rest! ”

With that, Steward Li walked towards his house with his hands behind his back.

Watching Steward Li leave, Si Mubai fell into deep thought. He stood outside the door and didn't go inside, and he wanted to ask what was going on.

"Husband, why don't you go in?" Before he could think about it, Jiang Dige's voice had already appeared in his ears.

Si Mubai raised his eyes and looked at Jiang Tuge, and then asked, "You did it on purpose?" ”

"Yes!" Jiang Dige nodded.

Hearing this, Si Mubai frowned slightly, "You shouldn't be like this, Yang Er is already prejudiced against me." In this way, he will only resent me even more. Jiang Tuge, what is your idea? ”

"Husband, you can't say that. He is prejudiced against you, proving that he is jealous of you. I think it's a good thing that you're still useful. ”

…………

Si Mubai was stunned for a moment, he couldn't refute what Jiang Dige said at all.

"Husband, as for what I want to do, you'll find out in a few days."

Seeing Jiang Dige say this, Si Mubai stopped asking. Because even if he asked, Jiang Dige wouldn't necessarily tell himself.

Steward Li was about to pass by Zhang Laohan's house when he walked to his house, and at this time, there was a faint sound of cursing in the courtyard.

Mrs. Zhang cried even more, "God, how can we live as an old couple!" It's all to blame on those two scholars, if it weren't for them, how could we have fallen to such a point. ”

Zhang Laohan was too lazy to answer, just smoking his dry tobacco, but Mrs. Zhang didn't give up, crying out of breath.

In the end, Zhang Laohan couldn't help but speak, "Okay, it's already like this, what else can I do?" When you cry, the food comes back, doesn't it? ”

"We still have some silver we saved in the past year, and you can take it out and sell it for grain."

As soon as she heard that she wanted to buy grain, Mrs. Zhang was not happy, "You know to buy, this year's harvest is not good, as long as the price of this grain rises." ”

"How much money do we have saved to buy? You really don't have a backache when you stand and talk! ”

Zhang Laohan had a cold face, "If you can't do it, go to the second child to ask for it, it's good for him to join the Su family, but he is also a descendant of our Zhang family." ”

"You and I gave birth to him and raised him, and I don't believe that he can watch us starve to death?"

Mentioning Zhang Laoer, Mrs. Zhang sighed again and again, "What you said is light, what kind of person is Su Qianqian, you really don't know?" ”

"I just hit the girl a few times, and she's going to take her away. Spread it, as if I wasn't a grandmother. ”

Hearing this, Zhang Laohan did not speak. In his heart, he actually agrees with what Mrs. Zhang said. This is a child in the country, who did not grow up being beaten. It's just a few hungry meals and a few beatings.

If she was really killed, it could only be said that she was blessed.

As the two were talking, Zhang Laohan suddenly looked at Mrs. Zhang, "You say, why did Liu Feng and his classmates go down to the ground to help?" ”

At the mention of these two people, Mrs. Zhang's teeth itched with hatred, "Hmph, why else." I just look at them just to get a good reputation, could it be that they really help us? ”

"That's not right!" Zhang Laohan shook his head, "This matter is not so simple, the two of them must have a secret." Otherwise, why would the scholar who has no power to tie the chicken go to harvest wheat. ”

Hearing this, Mrs. Zhang nodded, "Old man, how do you know?" ”

Zhang Laohan sneered, he naturally guessed it. These days, Jiang Dige glanced at their field from time to time, and with what she said, he could guess some.

Suddenly, Zhang Laohan got up and walked outside the house. Seeing this, Mrs. Zhang hurriedly shouted, "Old man, what are you doing here?" ”

"I'll go to Liu Feng's house!" Zhang Laohan didn't explain too much.

Mrs. Zhang is a stupid person, and the more she talks, the more things she will provoke. Rather than that, it's better not to say it.

When he walked to the back window of Liu Feng's house, he heard intermittent sounds inside. He was sure of his thoughts again, there must be something wrong with these two people.

Otherwise, who would be so cautious in their own home, as if they were afraid that others would hear it. He knocked on the door of Liu Feng's house with a dry tobacco bag, and the sound was very loud.

Inside the house, Liu Feng thought that Steward Li was here. Flusteredly, he sorted out his expression and hurriedly went out to open the door. Who knew that the person who came was not Manager Li, but Zhang Laohan.

Liu Feng's face was gloomy, and he had lost the politeness just now, "Uncle Zhang, what are you doing at my house?" ”

Hearing this, Zhang Laohan sneered, "What to do?" Liu Feng, let me tell you the truth, I know your affairs very well in my heart. ”

"You came to work in my field for a purpose. I can tell you what you want to know. But, you're going to give me money! ”

Liu Feng frowned slightly, "Uncle Zhang, what do you mean by this?" ”

"What do you mean?" Wang Ming twitched the corners of his mouth, "You really don't know?" He clearly wants to blackmail your money. ”

Zhang Laohan sneered, "In that case, I have nothing to say to you." If you don't agree to my request, then I can tell you that no one will take care of you in the entire Yunzhuang. ”

Hearing this, Liu Feng and Wang Ming glanced at each other.

"Brother Wang, do you think we should ask this matter directly?"

When the words fell, Wang Ming looked at Zhang Laohan. Although he didn't know what kind of person this old man was, judging from the wheat harvest that day, he was definitely not a good stubble.

But at the moment, Zhang Laohan is telling the truth about some of his words, and they want to ask others to ask about this method of protecting water, I am afraid it will be a difficult thing.

After a while, Liu Feng asked, "How much silver do you want?" ”

"Not much, ten taels!" Zhang Laohan raised his head, looking determined to win.

But Liu Feng was not calm, these ten taels of silver were not a small amount for him.

"Uncle Zhang, do you really tell me?" Liu Feng tightened his eyes and said tentatively.

"Naturally!" Zhang Laohan nodded, "As long as the ten taels of silver are given to me, don't say that you want to know, even if it is my father's tablet, I will bring it to you." ”

"Done!" Wang Ming nodded, ten taels of silver was not too high for him, "Uncle Zhang, what I want to know is very simple, as long as you tell us how to protect water." ”

"These ten taels of silver are yours!" As he spoke, Wang Ming swept the silver in his hand.

In this way, Zhang Laohan told Wang Ming and Liu Feng all the methods of water protection.

Outside the window, Xiao Hei heard what the three people said clearly. It jumped out of the window and returned to the house, telling Jiang Tuge all about it.

Hearing this, Jiang Dige didn't react much. She just didn't expect Liu Feng's luck to be so good, he wanted this method, so someone rushed to give it to him.

It's just that this good fortune ended here, and she kept this matter in mind, silently thinking about how to use the next matter of the political envoy and the envoy to come here.

Unexpectedly, these two envoys did not come, but another person came.

This person is Yang Er, and he is dressed in a official uniform. He walked even more swaggeringly, for fear that others would not know that he was eating imperial grain.

When everyone saw this, they could only avoid it. As the saying goes, the people don't fight with the officials, so why should they provoke right and wrong.

Yang Er followed the path and came straight to Liu Feng's house, Wang Ming saw that it was Yang Er who came, and immediately greeted him, "Cousin, why are you here?" ”

Liu Feng looked at Yang Er like this, and his face couldn't help but become gloomy.

"It's nothing, I didn't know you were in Yunzhuang, so I wanted to come and see you."
