Chapter Twenty-Four: Hollowing Out Years of Accumulation
Meng Ning moved a stool for Aunt Zhao to sit down.
"Your land is going to be rented out." Aunt Zhao asked with a smile.
She was also there just now, and she also helped protect the two girls, but she didn't mention the matter at that end, so as not to scare the children again.
"Well, is Aunt Zhao planning to rent land?" Meng Ning asked.
"Yes, I have seen those fields of your family, they can be regarded as fertile fields, how do you plan to collect the rent, or do you use grain to pay for it."
It is precisely because it is a fertile field that the big house and the third house want to dominate, these fields are close to the river, there are ditches on both sides, the soil is soft and moist, and irrigation is also very convenient.
Meng Lao Er is the most honest and diligent child of Meng Lao Man, when the family was separated, Meng Lao Tou gave the best field to Meng Lao Er, but Meng Lao Er and his wife followed Meng Lao Tou a year later and died in an accident, and several young children almost couldn't protect these fields.
In ancient times, without the protection of parents and fathers, orphans were easy to be eaten out of households, and at the beginning, it was not good to blatantly ask for land deeds for three rooms, because so many people in the village watched.
Thinking that after planting for a long time, those lands will naturally become theirs, and it is not too late to ask for the title deed when the time comes.
And this time, Meng Laosan called so many people, just to clean up a few children obediently, and by the way, he asked for the title deed, and the big house also had to follow the third room to take advantage of this.
Meng Li said: "We plan to collect the rent directly, and the rent will come according to the market, one or two acres of land, Aunt Zhao, what do you think?" ”
Aunt Zhao thought that she would receive one or two dollars for these fertile fields, but when she saw that the children were so simple, she also nodded happily: "Cheng, I will rent all of them for one or two silver and one acre, and I will give you a hundred catties of rice." ”
"Aunt Zhao, we want rent." Meng Li said: "The amount of grain you grow is your family's. ”
"Alas, Aunt Zhao knows that you don't farm, you want to live by doing work, so you have to buy everything, I rent these fields for one or two silver, and you deserve a hundred catties of rice, don't be polite to Aunt Zhao, it's good to reduce the burden a little."
When everyone saw that Aunt Zhao was so sincere and sincere, they would not shirk it, and they would keep it in their hearts if they were good.
I also found Xiucai in the village to set up a contract to lease the land, pressed the handprint, and Aunt Zhao happily gave the rent.
"Di, at present, the master has earned ten taels of silver on his own, and there are still ninety taels left to complete the upgrade."
Probably this time I earned a little too much, and the space gave a hint.
Meng Li found out that if it was the money she earned by taking the initiative to come up with ideas, even if it was related to the land shared by the whole family, it would be counted on her head, and the money earned by the eldest brother and their own work would not be counted.
Therefore, she should give full play to her subjective initiative to make money.
However, the next ninety taels are not easy to earn, the largest industrial field in the family is rented out, and it is only nine taels, what is the way to earn ninety taels?
When Aunt Zhao walked out of the yard with the contract to say goodbye to the second room, the mother-in-law of the Li family at the east end of the village also arrived: "Ah, I was about to rent the land, and you rented it." ”
Aunt Zhao smiled and said: "Aunt Li, who told you not to come faster, I have rented all those fields, and one or two silver and one mu is really cost-effective." ”
"Oh, I should have come faster, not to mention that it was all rented, and it would be better to share half with you."
Seeing that all the land in the second room was rented out, the Li family's mother-in-law did not bother, and followed Aunt Zhao away.
At this time, the faces of the people in the big room and the third room were blue and white.
The seven brothers of the Zhao family, all of whom are strong and strong, are one of the most majestic portals in the village, and they can't afford to mess with them.
And looking at Wang Langzhong, the medical expenses of the injured add up to at least twenty taels.
"Why do you want so much?" Wan couldn't believe his ears.
"These two were also poisoned, and if they are not treated sooner, they will be life-threatening in five days."
Wang Langzhong saw that the poison on the two thugs was the same as that on Meng Dawang's wrist, and one was in the throat and the other was in the chest, and the situation was much more serious than Meng Dawang.
"Why is it poisoned, whoever poisoned it will be treated, why should it be counted on our family's head?" Wan Shi said excitedly.
Meng Laosan hurriedly said: "Fighting, everyone is looking at it, how can it be poisoned?" Could it be that someone is playing a trick? ”
"I don't know about this, anyway, it was your hand that moved first, and there is no evidence that someone else poisoned it, and you can only swallow it if you feel aggrieved, this poison has to be cured, and if it is not treated, it will kill you, and one is dozens of taels of silver, and you can't afford to pay for it."
Wang Langzhong is also not used to what Sanfang does.
The two poisoned ones also howled.
"We are the poison here, and we are all fine when we come, and you don't cure anyone."
"We are the pillars of the family, and if we die, the family will not let you go."
Wan's shook and almost fainted, and Meng Laosan's face was also blue.
Twenty taels of silver, what kind of concept is this, the family has to work hard to save for a few years.
Meng Bufan gritted his teeth, his eyes red with hatred: "We were calculated by the second room, so I will go to them to settle accounts." ”
"Can you beat Meng Wu, or can you beat Lu Mu?" Meng Laosan roared.
No one saw such a thing as poisoning, and the people in the second room could deny it, but instead beat Meng Dawang and threw it back all over his body.
It was the person they called, and something happened in their yard, and no matter how unwilling they were, they could only be responsible.
Meng Laosan slammed his fist on the table and let out a roar.
This dumb loss, he will not swallow it in vain.
And when Shen and Boss Meng saw that Sanfang had suffered such a big loss, they felt that it was nothing to lose six taels of silver.
On the way back, Shen whispered to Boss Meng: "Husband, do you think it will be the same poison as our family's Dawang?" ”
Boss Meng was shocked, if so, I am afraid that it will be inseparable from that girl.
He seemed to see the two men shaking in front of the girl.
However, just passing in front of him, he decided that it was poisoned by others, and who believed it with empty mouths and white teeth?
This Meng Li is not simple, just woke up and made the two families fall into bad luck, Meng Boss secretly took a breath of cool air, and he had to be careful in the future.
"Those fields, poor ones." Shen pressed his heart, distressed, gritted his teeth and scolded: "These few evil seeds. ”
Originally, I thought that the brothers and sisters would go to the fields, so they went to the fields to make trouble, so that they could not do anything, and when the crops grew up, they also pulled them out, so that they could get nothing.
Now the tenant is this kind of person Ding Changsheng's family, where do they dare to provoke?
When night fell, Meng Li was lying on the bed, and Lu Mu also lay down on the floor at the head of the bed.
"Lu Mu." Meng Li spoke.
"Hmm." Lu Mu waited for him to speak.
Meng Li turned over: "Forget it." ”
She wanted to ask Lu Mu where he learned such powerful martial arts, and she could see that he didn't want to show his skills at first, so he slowed down and saw that the two brothers couldn't hold him before making a move.
Lu Mu: "......"
When he got up the next day, Meng Li's left leg had three points of strength, and his right leg was almost half recovered.
She tried to throw away the crutches for training, and she lasted longer than yesterday, and she didn't sweat like that anymore.
Today is the street day, after breakfast, she said to Lu Mu: "I'm going to take a look on the street, and when I turn around, you will send me to the boxing gym to watch my eldest brother box, and then you will transport things to others." ”
She wants to see the business here, understand the prices here, and the basic situation of the market.
