Chapter 175 Help him build confidence
There was nothing serious happening on the farm. The only thing that troubled Mrs. Qin was that the two farmhands quit their jobs.

One was an elderly farmhand who sprained his waist while working and wanted to retire and go home.

One is that the son did a small business in the provincial capital and made some money, so he took the couple to the provincial capital to do big business together.

Then there is a broken pot in the kitchen. Should I replace it with a new one and what kind?

Then a cow gave birth to a calf, but the calf seemed sick.

The matter couldn't be any smaller.

Qin Yiran made arrangements for the two farmhands. The man who sprained his waist had worked on the farm all his life. Qin Yiran arranged for him to see a doctor and get medicine. After settling his wages, he also gave him five taels of silver as recuperation money.

Another person gave three months' bonus after settling the wages.

He was very generous in giving, and when other farmhands heard about it, they all said they wanted to introduce their relatives to work as farmhands.

Qin Yiran agreed. He hoped that there would be as many people as possible in the village.

As for buying a pot to treat the cow, Liu Yingyue asked housekeeper Tian to do it.

When buying new pots, choose the best ones.

Taking care of cows was not her specialty, so she arranged for someone to invite a specialized veterinarian.

After arranging matters at the farm and having dinner, Liu Yingyue and Liu Dalang, who was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, returned to the Liu family.

Just as Liu Dalang said, there were quite a few people sitting or standing in and outside the Liu family's courtyard.

When some people saw Liu Dalang coming back, they all gathered around him and said, "Liu Dalang, why are you running away? Return the money!"

Liu Dalang glanced at the carriage behind him and waved his hand at everyone, "Stop arguing, I'll return it to you right away. Really, it's just a few taels of silver, how dare you ask for it?"

"Since you say the money is too little, then return it quickly!" Someone sneered. Liu Yingyue recognized that this was Yang Yongcui's mother.

Now, even the Yang family is bullying the Liu family?

Liu Yingyue sneered and got off the carriage.

When everyone saw her coming, some immediately calmed down, while others shouted even louder, "Liu Dalang, you invited your sister back, did you ask her to help you pay it back?"

"It must be. Nowadays, Miss Ying's family spends thousands or even tens of thousands of dollars on watering. What are our tens of taels?" someone said sarcastically.

Liu Yingyue looked up. Isn’t this Liu Xingyue’s mother, Madam Liu Er?

Is she joining in the fun too?
"Come in and check who is owed the money." Liu Yingyue walked into the yard.

Madam Liu heard her voice and came out of the main house. Seeing that it was indeed her, she dared to step forward and took her hand and went into the house. "You are finally here. I was so worried. Yingyue, did you bring the silver? If you don't return the silver, they will tear the roof off our house."

Liu Yingyue was about to speak when those people swarmed to the door of the main house and started making a lot of noise.

Madam Liu was so scared that she hid behind Liu Yingyue, "Yingyue, can you pay me back?"

"Don't worry, mother. I'm here for you today." Liu Yingyue looked at the people in the courtyard and smiled. "Second aunt, are you going to overturn my house? Aunt Yang, are you going to overturn my house too?"

Madam Liu and Yang's mother looked at each other and smiled awkwardly, "No, no, Yingyue, your mother was joking."

"Since you are not going to lift the roof of my house, why did you make such a loud noise just now?" Liu Yingyue said coldly, pressing forward step by step.

"Yingyue, how could we be so loud? We were just asking casually. Your family owes money to the village and has not paid it back. What does that mean?" Madam Liu Er gradually stepped back, still asking unconvinced.

The other villagers saw that she was a member of the Liu family and started asking more questions.
