"How much does it cost to rent land?" Shen Yuntang asked them.
Lin Bozhi didn't speak for a long time, but the lady who worked in the field next to him shouted, "Fifty wen a year." ”
"Fifty wen? This land can be sold for at least seven or eight taels of silver after collecting grain, and you will send away the fifty wen? Shen Yuntang was angry that they deceived Cheng Yeran and didn't understand, renting land at such a low price.
"Seven or eight taels of silver are also made by our family in the field, and he can get fifty yuan when he lies in bed, not because he has a good old man, like us, who comes from other places, and doesn't even have a piece of his own land, and he has to send him money every year, otherwise he will starve to death." Limber said angrily.
"But this land is not usually rented at this price." Shen Yuntang wanted to quarrel with them angrily, but the combat effectiveness of the quarrel was low, and he would only reason with others, which could only put him at a disadvantage.
It was Cheng Yeran who protected this angry child behind him, and he was going to fight against others.
Cheng Yeran asked them: "Did you give the money this year?" ”
Lin Bo thought that he wanted money now, and said unhappily: "Every year, I will give you money after collecting and selling the grain, don't you force us to die if you ask for money now?" ”
"Have we made a note?" Cheng Yeran asked him again.
"I can't write, what kind of writing?" Lin Bo looked at him with a defensive face, always feeling that he was going to pit himself, but he couldn't think of how he was going to pit himself.
"First, there is no written note, and second, there is no money, why do you say that I rented the land to you? I won't rent it this year. Cheng Yeran raised his hand and bombarded them, "Don't stand on the ground of my house, go up over there." ”
"Not renting anymore?" Lin Bo immediately became anxious, "You want the lives of our whole family!" What do we eat and drink as a family? ”
"But if we rent it to you, our family will have no food." Shen Yuntang poked his head out from behind Cheng Yeran angrily, and the two of them reasoned with him.
Cheng Yeran pressed his head back: "Why are you telling him so much, their whole family's life and death are my business." ”
"Why are you so vicious! So happy to see our whole family die? Lin Bo's lady sat on the ground and shouted, asking everyone to comment, she shouted like this, and indeed a lot of people came to watch the excitement.
"Don't push me, if you don't rent me land, you grow food, and I will pull it all out for you!" Lin Bo's son pointed at Cheng Yeran and said ruthlessly, "I don't believe that you are watching in the field day and night." ”
"Okay, since everyone is here, I'll inform everyone," Cheng Yeran pointed to Lin Bo's family and said: "If their family pulls out my family's grain, I will pull out the food of the whole village, don't blame me, if you want to blame their family, I can't live and no one wants to live, I will do it." ”
He has played the villain, but he knows people's hearts too well, and at this time, everyone will not blame the villain who does bad things, but will blame the person who makes the villain crazy.
Sure enough, after he said this, the surrounding villagers were not calm, and several men went over to drag Lin Bo: "Why are you messing with him?" The day before yesterday, he just smashed the window of Erzhu's house, be careful that he burned down your house. ”
"His cousin is the village chief, be careful that the village chief kicks your family out."
"That's all he has for his family, forget it, you rent someone else's house, you all plant, and they can't live."
"He's finally changed for the better, he's not lazy, don't force him, you're so old, don't get along with children."
After all, the Lin family is from outside, and they were originally the bottom of the village, and they used to bully Cheng Yeran because he was a lazy man.
But now it's different, Cheng Yeran smashed the window of Erzhu's house, which is considered to be standing in the village, plus the people in the village are standing on Cheng Yeran's side, the Lin family was scared away by the onlookers and scolded and coaxed, and they didn't dare to provoke Cheng Yeran in the future, and they didn't even dare to go to the land of Yeran's house during the road, for fear that others would misunderstand that they wanted to pull out the wheat of the Cheng family and be beaten by the people in the village.
When the Lin family left, Shen Yuntang saw that Lin Bo was beating his son all the way back.
He once again had the feeling that it was good to marry this man, and the last time he had this feeling was at the door of Erzhu's house.
The village chief knew that Cheng Yeran had come to farm, and he was very happy, praised him for finally cheering up, and lent them the family's cattle to plow the land, seeing that Cheng Yeran couldn't use it, and taught him carefully.
Where has Cheng Yeran experienced plowing with oxen, he had never even had close contact with live cows before, which was different from digging by himself, it was very fun.
It is estimated that he can't experience it without spending one or two hundred yuan to go to the scenic spots, he is very active in plowing, and many villagers around him can't help but stop and watch, praising him for marrying a husband is different, and praising Shen Yuntang Wangfu, saying that he has the ability to make lazy people get up and work.
Shen Yuntang still has a sense of accomplishment, but he is afraid that others will see what he thinks in his heart, so he concentrates on his work with his head down, and he is not idle for a moment.
Their land was not very large, but with the help of oxen, the two of them could plough the land in two days.
On the third day, it rained, so they didn't go to the fields, but made quilts together at home.
Originally, Shen Yuntang said that he should not interfere, but he insisted on coming up, and said that the quilt was covered by the two of them together, of course, two people had to do it together.
Shen Yuntang couldn't resist him and had no choice but to agree, in fact, many times Shen Yuntang felt that Cheng Yeran was like a big boy who loved to be coquettish, but Cheng Yeran was so much taller than him, standing next to him always gave people a sense of oppression, and he also had a lot of strength, he was not lazy at all when he was plowing the land, and he would stand up for him when others bullied him, there was a boy's side and a man's side, which was unpredictable.
The two cut the bought cloth together and spread it on the bed, and Shen Yuntang taught him how to sew cotton into the quilt.
Cheng Yeran was stunned for a moment: "I thought it was like sewing a pillow, sewing a quilt cover like a cloth bag first, and then stuffing all the cotton into it." ”
"If you do that, the cotton will clump together in the quilt, and it won't spread out evenly like this." Shen Yuntang explained to him carefully, he used to always do these things with his mother, but he didn't expect to do it with his husband after he got married.
When he was just reborn, he would always be troubled by everything in his previous life, and after he arrived at Cheng Yeran's house, he would compare Cheng Yeran with Xia Xiaowu, but slowly he stopped comparing, Xia Xiaowu had nothing to compare with Cheng Yeran.
