The Pretty Eldest Daughter of a Scholar's Family

Chapter 244 Letter of Guarantee ([-])
Liu Chunsheng acted very quickly, and within a quarter of an hour he brought back the letter of guarantee written by the Zhang family back then, and at the same time Zhang Shengbao was also invited over.

Liu Chunsheng is in charge of the village's documents and account books. He is a very meticulous person. Although the paper in his hand has turned yellow after more than ten years, it is well preserved.

"Shengbao, do you remember this letter of guarantee?" Liu Donglin handed the letter of guarantee to Zhang Shengbao.

How could Zhang Shengbao not remember this guarantee?

Back then, he committed some crimes in his hometown and had to leave his hometown with his parents and newly married wife. The family came to Geshan Village from their hometown. Originally, they wanted to go further north, but when they arrived in Geshan Village, their parents couldn't afford it. Had to temporarily stay in Geshan Village.

The simple and enthusiastic folks in Geshan Village did not dislike their family when they saw that their family was suffering from poverty and illness.

He remembered that in order to save him money on medicine, Liu Dongting went into the mountains to pick herbs to heal his parents despite the heavy rain.

The enthusiastic, kind and simple folks in Geshan Village made them feel the warmth they had never had before. After their parents recovered from their illness, they simply stopped leaving and asked Liu Donglin to settle in Geshan Village.

Other immigrant households wanted to settle in Geshan Village, which gave the village some practical benefits, but their family's settlement in Geshan Village took advantage of all the benefits, except that the house was bought with money, and the village saw that they really couldn't afford more. They bought the land with the money, and specially gave them the ten mu of land to cultivate without compensation.

If the folks in Geshan Village had not extended a helping hand back then, their family would have died of illness and starvation.

It’s just that parents and wives were frightened by hunger and poverty. Except for the family’s food and drink, all the rest were hidden in the cave converted into a cellar.

At the beginning, Zhang Shengbao also proposed to hand over part of the grain to the village, but he was unanimously opposed by his parents and wife. As the children were born one by one, the burden on the family became heavier. If there is a surplus, it is only enough for the family to feed and fill their stomachs, so he never mentioned the matter of handing over food to the village.

It has been more than ten years now, and now the eldest son is almost 15 years old, and he has reached the age of preparing for marriage. The importance of the ten acres of land to the family is even more obvious. The house is noisy.

Although this matter has nothing to do with the Su family at all, if the Su family doesn't buy the land, maybe no one will remember that his family has occupied the ten mu of mountain land in the village for free, and it has been occupied for more than ten years.

But this matter happened to be caused by my own mother-in-law. If the mother-in-law does not come to Su's house to make trouble, even if the village takes back the ten acres of land, the village may compensate his family for the hardship it has caused. Now I'm afraid it won't be possible Well, who can blame this? !
Just now dragging his wife back home, Zhang Shengbao raised his hand a few times, but thinking of the hardships his mother-in-law had endured with him all these years, he couldn't beat him no matter what. His last punch hit the wall, which hurt his hand. Head empty sigh.

"The land does belong to the village. If the village wants to take it back, I will give it back with both hands. It's just that my family has worked hard on the ten acres of land. I hope the village will give me some compensation." Zhang Shengbao didn't look at the guarantee letter, and was silent for a while. He lowered his head and spoke his thoughts.

Liu Chunsheng laughed out loud: "Donglin, do you think the village should also collect some rent from the Zhang family?"

Zhang Shengbao's face immediately flushed red.

Liu Chunsheng continued: "We don't count too much. We only count ten years. We don't charge rent per mu of land every year. Let's just collect fifty catties of potatoes. Ten mu of land is five thousand catties in ten years. I’ve handed over a thousand catties of potatoes, let’s talk about the compensation for your family’s reclaimed ten acres of land. Your family grows at least five acres of potatoes every year, and you can harvest a thousand catties a year at least, I’m right.”

Zhang Shengbao's face turned from red to green, and everything Liu Chunsheng said was true.

It is true that his family planted five acres of potatoes every year. He and his father were both good at farming. When they were in their hometown, they liked to think about how to farm, so the yield of potatoes they planted was indeed not bad, but once Ten years of sexual intercourse, even if all the food in the cellar is replaced with potatoes, it will definitely not be able to make up five thousand catties!

Liu Donglin took a puff of cigarette, glanced at Liu Chunsheng and said, "Uncle Chunsheng, don't make things difficult for Shengbao. Since the ten mu of land was planted by the village for free for Shengbao's family, don't mention the rent."

Zhang Shengbao's face finally turned red after hearing this, but Liu Donglin's next words shattered his idea of ​​bargaining again: "Shengbao, you have to think about the care of your family in the village these years. If you really want to make a fuss, what do you say?" What good is it for your family? Your family should plan to continue living in the village."

The more the old doctor listened, the more impatient he became: "Do I need to come to Su's house to talk about these things? Girl Yunduo and I are busy, so we don't have so much time to listen to your nonsense! How about you go back and talk slowly?"

As he said that, he stood up and stared at Su Yunduo. There was no need to guess the expression on his face. Naturally, he wanted Su Yunduo to go with him.

Su Yunduo looked at Liu Donglin with some embarrassment. Today, she really had something to discuss with the old doctor, so she took advantage of Ning's lunch break with Su Zerui to go to Shenquan Villa.
Today, during the village school break, Su Zexuan took Su Zechen to the county town with the food delivery car. The two brothers needed to buy some pens, ink, paper and inkstones, and they had to go to Heishui Town before returning home later.

Because of the matter of the medicinal seedlings, Su Yunduo planned to follow the old doctor to the Valley of Miraculous Doctors. The two were discussing when to leave and who to take with them, but they were pushed down the mountain by Mrs. Zhang.

This commotion lasted for an hour, no wonder the old doctor was impatient.

"Duoduo, come here." Before Su Yunduo could comfort the old doctor, Ning's voice came from outside the main room.

Su Yunduo sighed, resigned himself to his fate and left the main room, begging softly with a flattering smile: "Mother, I have something to do right now, if you're not in a hurry, can we talk about it later?"

"I just want to tell you, we won't buy this land. Look at you, if you listen to the advice of the old genius doctor and buy the land in Tongli Village, if the folks in Tongli Village can enshrine you like a Buddha, who will buy it?" Would you curse our family to die?!

Obviously, you wanted to buy a place in Geshan Village at all costs for the sake of the villagers, but in the end, you were thrown all over your body with sewage.You said you girl, what exactly are you planning? "Ning's voice was full of anger towards Mrs. Zhang and hatred towards Su Yunduo.

"Mom, what can I do? It's just because the folks in the village have helped our family so much over the past year, and I think that now our family has the ability to repay a little bit.

How did I know that such a thing would happen, it was my fault for frightening my mother and third brother.Since mother doesn't like it, let's not buy it.

Mother, don't get angry, it's not worth it to hurt yourself. "Su Yunduo coaxed Ning with nice words.

"That's what you said!" Ning stared at Su Yunduo, as long as she saw the expression on her face, she could read what it meant. Naturally, if you dare to go back on your word, I will be rude to you.

"Okay, mother, I'll listen to you." After Su Yunduo said this, he quickly returned to the main room: "Uncle Village, my family won't buy that land."
