Mrs. Yipin: a farmer's doctor

Chapter 242 The Plague Outbreak (1)
Zhiran laughed appreciatively, and Yibei heaved a sigh of relief, and announced loudly, "Okay, now we'll start changing the food."

The villagers suddenly burst into cheers, which undoubtedly left them a way out, how could they not be excited?Especially for those who had no land and no food at home, they wept with joy at that time, and hurried to the right to get the food, fearing that there would be no food later or the Tang family would regret it.

Someone also asked: "How long is our contract with Arita?"

"It only takes three years. If you want to sign a contract after three years, you only need to pay [-]% of the rent after taxes." Zhiran stood up and spoke with a smile.

She deliberately lowered the rent to let everyone have a hope in their hearts. Besides, money is inexhaustible. She earned an extra tael of silver from these lowest-level people. She doesn't think it's necessary for a child to earn.

After Zhiran finished speaking, there was another round of cheers.

Many people immediately started to think, "The paddy field can exchange 25 catties of grain, but the yellow landlords only have [-] catties, which is a full [-] catties of grain!"

"Isn't it? You're still from the same village, and the Tang family is kind! Landlord Huang and the others have to pay [-]% of the rent for the land they rent. They only need to pay [-]% of the rent for three years, and they don't need to buy it in the future." It’s great, it’s great!”

But after being happy, someone thought of some new problems and asked worriedly: "Is it possible that we have renewed the lease of this land and will continue to lease it to us in the future?"

If not, take it back as soon as you say it, and they will starve and drink the northwest wind by then?
Zhiran smiled and said: "Our family's rent is already low. If there are people who hide selfishness and take advantage of it, our family will not be able to use it for a long time. He has been cultivating it all the time, we will not take back the field for no reason, even if we want to take it back, we will definitely give you a convincing reason."

Then, everyone rushed to the front excitedly, scrambling to change food, Zhiran smiled and said: "Take your time, everyone stands up, there is enough food, don't worry."

Seeing Uncle Zhao and Uncle Zhong carrying out the baskets of grain, the people standing in front couldn't help but burst into tears.Exclaimed: "This is the taste of food!"

Yibei and the others set up three tables in front of the door. Yingying and Xiaoyue were in charge of registering on the left, Jinxiu sisters were in charge of registering on the right, and Yibei was in charge of distributing rice in the middle.

No.1, standing at the front of the line, hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth, and took out the title deed from his arms.After Yibei took it, he first asked Zhiran to sign and seal it, and then handed it over to the master on the side.

The master was specially sent by Mr. Kong for convenience.

After doing all this, the man went to the left.Carrying seventy catties of grain and a small bag of salt donated by the Tang family, tears flowed down my face.

He asked: "My son has already left, and there is no labor force in the family. Can I just rent one mu of land, and I am the only labor force in the family."

The old man burst into tears as he spoke. His son died in the drought this time.

He originally wanted to go up the mountain to pick some wild vegetables, but unfortunately he ran into a beast, and there was not even a corpse left behind.

"Grandpa, don't cry, and me, I've grown up!" A thin boy who looked about Yaoyao's age stepped forward and took the old man's hand and said.

The old man patted the little boy's head in relief and said, "Fortunately, you are still there."

Yingying was so moved that her eyes were filled with tears, she responded again and again, "Yes, yes, you can go through the formalities here, and just sign and press your fingerprints here."

The old man took the contract tremblingly, and stuck it in his arms.

The little boy let go of the old man's hand, ran to Zhi Ran's side in small steps and asked, "Miss Tang, I will grow up and earn money in the future. Can I redeem my family's land?"

Zhiran was taken aback for a moment, she just liked that the fields were continuous and easy to manage.

"Isn't it okay to buy some kind of land when you have money? You don't have to be obsessed with this one mu of land." Zhi Ran politely refused.

But the little boy didn't realize it. He only thought that Zhi Ran was really asking him, but instead he answered seriously, "Because Grandpa said this is our ancestral field, if it wasn't for fear that I would starve to death, my grandpa would never be able to do it." sold the land."

There were tears in the little boy's eyes, and the little man stood upright, with a pair of eyes shining with tenacity.

Zhiran froze for a moment, sighed and said, "Okay! If you save enough taels in the future, I will sell them to you at the government's price."

If she has money, she can't buy land anywhere. There is no need to ask for the family's ancestral land.

The people who heard Zhiran's words were full of joy, tears filled their eyes, and asked whether they would be able to buy back the fields in the future. When Zhiran answered in the affirmative, the smile on their faces deepened. It is full of hope for the future.

The team is slowly advancing. Many people died in this drought. In fact, many of them were laborers from the family, so Zhiran also expected that not everyone would sell a few acres of land and rent a few acres of land.

Especially for some extinct households, when they got the food, they laughed and cried at the same time, thanking the Tang family while complaining about them.

Thank them for their generosity, and complain that they came so late, otherwise, the family might not have to die.

Seeing the baskets of grain being emptied, and the baskets being carried out again, the people waiting behind were very worried, for fear that the people in front would have replaced all the grain, but seeing the grain so abundant, they felt at ease again .

The people who were waiting had nothing to do, and when their hearts were relieved, they were in the mood to gossip.

He began to praise the Tang family for their conscience, and criticized the landlords in other villages, saying that they were not righteous enough, and that the people in each village were so difficult, and they even sharpened their heads to take advantage of them!
Zhiran has good ears and eyesight, and she is relieved to hear that at least the people who came here today are all from the village with a grateful heart, and there are no vitriolic people making trouble among them.

Even Shi Ziniang's family came, but because they had Mao Dun with Zhiran's family before, they kept their heads down from the beginning to the end, silently exchanging food, silently signing the contract, not daring to raise their eyes and say a word.

He was afraid of attracting Zhiran's attention, avenging his personal revenge, and not giving her food in exchange.

In fact, Zhiran would not do this at all, Shi Ziniang is completely treating the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain.

This is in the face of natural disasters. In fact, in normal times, these forty catties of grain would naturally not be able to exchange for an acre of land, but now grain is precious. In some places, unscrupulous rice merchants can sell a catty of grain for a tael of silver.

There is a world of difference between the price and the price in the peaceful and prosperous age. In the past, the price of good food was only forty or fifty yuan a catty.

From Chenshi to Youshi, it was a whole day of work, and the villagers who exchanged land for food hadn't finished receiving them.

The villagers who did not get any food panicked, thinking that the Tang family would no longer exchange food, Yibei stood up and said at this time: "Tomorrow is still the same time, the Tang family will exchange food for another day, and will not exchange food here after that , Thank you for your support, if you haven’t got food today, please hurry up tomorrow.”
