Chapter 146 Brother is in Trouble

Qingyu Shi'an and Hongtao returned home.

Hearts were tired and sleepy, so they went to take a nap.Seeing Qingyu sitting on a chair in a daze, Shi'an seemed to have something on her mind, so she walked over and asked, "What's wrong?"

Qingyu pondered for a moment, then said softly: "Everything is connected by cause and effect, brother, you know, today's small retreat will also cause a bloodbath in the future."

Shi was quiet for a while, poured her a cup of tea, and said in a slow voice, "Since it's here, let it be."

Qing Yu stared at the tea foam in the teacup and smiled slightly, "We have guests tonight."

"An unexpected guest?" Shi'an frowned slightly.

Qingyu shook her head, "Land and Water Bi. Neighbors are here to get close to us as a gesture of goodwill." After a pause, he continued: "Although it is a gesture of goodwill, it is also a hand that opens the curtain."

"Is that missing?"

"Whether you see or not, it's just sooner or later." Qing Yu blew lightly on the tea foam in the cup, then looked at Shu Er, and said, "Eldest brother, it's a little troublesome."

In the face of scorching heat, the tenant farmers in Pingpo Village did not rest, but planted medicinal materials in the fields against the hot sun.There can be no delay in the medicine seedlings and seeds, so everyone is paying close attention.

On the field ridge, Zhufeng put the straw hat on his head, took off the water bag around his waist, drank a few sips of water, and felt that his dry throat was more comfortable, then put the water bag on his waist again, took off the straw hat and fanned the wind While continuing to walk into the ground.

"Brother Sanqi, you are planting very quickly. It seems that this field will be gone after planting, right?" Zhuifeng came to a field and said to a farmer bent over to farm.

Hearing the sound, Luo Sanqi straightened up, wiped the sweat off his face with a handkerchief, and said with a smile: "Yes, this one will be gone after it's planted. Ask the boss to see if I've planted it right?"

"Those who know how to grow crops, as long as they know how to grow the seedlings, they will be fine." Zhufeng smiled, squatted down to look at a few plants, and said:
"Midsummer is the time when the rhubarb has downy mildew. After you have planted here, you have to spread the plant ash and fertilizer quickly. It can't be too much, but it can't be too little. Just spread it evenly."

Luo Sanqi said hello, seeing Zhufeng getting up to leave, he asked again: "Boss Zhu still wants to patrol the ground? It's such a hot day."

Zhufeng nodded while walking, "Yes, I have to go and see. Then you are busy, so I will go first."

"Walk slowly, boss by boss." Luo Sanqi bent down and continued planting seedlings, but before the one in hand was inserted into the soil, he heard someone calling him from the side of the road.

"Luo Sanqi, Luo Sanqi, go back quickly, something happened."

Luo Sanqi's face tightened, he stood up and asked the man urgently, "What happened?"

"The head of the village brought people to collect the rent, and there was a commotion, you should go back quickly." The man on the road waved his hand anxiously.

When Luo Sanqi heard this, he hurriedly put the medicine seedlings at hand into the basket.There was no shade everywhere, so the seedlings would die if they were exposed to the sun, so they put the basket on their backs and ran home.

Zhuifeng didn't take a few steps, when he heard this, how could he go again, and hurriedly followed Luo Sanqi's footsteps.

The two returned to Luo Sanqi's house, and before they approached, they heard a burst of cursing.

".What kind of reasoning do you have? The tenancy is clearly [-]%, why should you pay [-]% now that you are here?" A woman yelled.

"That was in the past. Now that the owner has changed, it won't be counted. It has to be taken as the new one. This land belongs to the He family now, so we have the final say.

Why?Just because this land is not yours, you cannot be the master. Zhuangtou snorted angrily and yelled back.

"I don't care, what I signed is [-]% for the whole year, and I don't recognize the new one." Although the woman was a little aggressive, she obviously made sense.

"The old contract has been voided. If you don't recognize the new contract, then you won't be able to plant this land."

The woman blushed with anger and her neck was thick, and her voice seemed to penetrate the entire village, "If you don't plant it, you won't plant it. You treat me as a rarity."

But Zhuangtou snorted and said, "Alright, this land is leased for the whole year, since you don't want to lease it, then you should settle the first five months' lease first.

The seven acres of herringbone land, starting from the first month, are planted with sunflowers, leeks, mustards, soybeans, flax, melons, sesame, black beans, and kapok. Another seventy catties of rent is calculated, seven acres of land, you give me eighteen stones and ninety catties, and I don’t care if you want the extra, you keep it for yourself. "

"Do you have such a calculation?" Luo Sanqi entered the yard, put the basket on the ground, and yelled at the farmer.

The woman looked back, her face was relieved immediately, she stepped forward and said:

"The He family bought the land, and the owner will be the He family in the future. He has to pay [-]% of the rent, and it must not be less than two stones and seventy catties per mu. I got angry and said that I would not rent. Anyway, there is no hope for this year's crops. It’s better to take good care of those medicine fields.”

When Zhuangtou saw the man came back, he shook off the new deed in his hand, "Either you sign it, or you plant the land, and I will only give you [-]% of the rent for midsummer and later.

Either you don’t plant it, the first five months have a total of eighteen stones and ninety catties, you have to make it clear to me, if you can’t hand over the melons and beans, then you can convert it into silver, and I won’t give it to you If it is too high, it will be calculated according to the market price. "

In addition to Luo Sanqi's family, there were other tenant farmers in the same situation in the yard. Everyone roared when they heard Zhuangtou being so unreasonable.
"How can there be so many? This year's weather is like this. One mu of land still wants two or three stones. You are blind or deliberately want to kill people. Now which piece of land will give you two or three stones."

"That's right, isn't this trying to force people to death? Don't talk about two or three stones, one stone is impossible, and we don't hide it privately. If you don't believe me, go to the field to see."

Zhuangtou smiled, "That's your business, it has nothing to do with me. If you don't have enough, then move it from other fields, and if other lands are not enough, then use silver and surplus grain to pay for it."

"You bastard, do you still speak human language?"

Seeing that the two sides were getting more and more noisy, Luo Sanqi said to his wife: "Go and call Lizheng over."

"I've already asked someone to call, and it should be on the way." Sanqi's daughter-in-law said.

Zhuangtou's face became more and more impatient, "I care so much about you, anyway, that's how the contract is set, you have to pay it if you pay it, or you have to pay it if you don't pay it, if you don't pay it, I'll let you go to the yamen to get a few boards first After a few days in prison, I will let you hand it over."

"You" is so angry that you want to bully him, but you are grabbed by Zhufeng.

"By the boss, they bully people too much." The man was trembling with anger.

Zhufeng glanced at Zhuangtou, pulled the people on his side a few steps away, and asked Luo Sanqi: "Where is the old deed?"

"Here I am." Sanqi's daughter-in-law took out a contract from her pocket and handed it to Zhufeng.

After looking at it by the wind, he said to Zhuangtou: "Here it is clearly written in black and white. The annual rent is [-]%, which refers to [-]% of the actual harvest in the field. The minimum rent is [-] catties.

Furthermore, the time is indicated in the contract, and the rent is for the whole year. How can a new contract be signed before the time comes? "

Zhuangtou looked up and down Zhuang Feng, dressed very ordinary, and was called the boss, he thought that he might be a small businessman, so he said disdainfully: "Then let me ask you, who is the boss written in the contract? Who is the current owner?
The current owner is the He family. If these people have not signed a contract with the He family, then our He family will not recognize them.If you want to argue, go to the original owner and tell him why you want to sell the land to us. "

Luo Sanqi was so angry that his neck stiffened, "No, I don't want food, I want my life, if you have the ability, take my life."

Zhuangtou was used to these methods, and he was prepared for a long time ago. He said to the ten people behind him: "Go and move, there are some in this house, don't care about anything, move enough eighteen stones for me."

Seeing that the head of the village was going to grab it, everyone rushed to stop him, shouting and scolding each other.

Zhufeng was afraid that the matter would become a big mess, and the status of the He family was obviously not something that Luo Sanqi and other small tenant farmers could handle, so he wanted to try to persuade them to fight.

But as soon as he pulled one on this side and blocked the other on the other side, the two parties became more and more noisy, and finally started to fight each other, and the wind couldn't dodge it. I don't know who pushed him, and he staggered He fell down and hit his forehead firmly on the tip of the stone.
