Su Bai was obviously unhappy, he always thought that he was the most capable person in the family, but no matter what he said today, his mother would not agree with him shaking the corn. "Sister, I have to work too."

Su Yu glanced at Su Bai, "You can just sit still, when you grow up, even if you don't want to do it, you will have to do it, so why worry now."

"I just want to do what I want, I just want to do what I want!" Su Bai played a rascal.

At this time, Wang Sang, who was cooking, finally couldn't stand it any longer, walked up to Su Bai, pointed at his butt, and gave Su Bai a slap: "Calm down! I've been watching you making noise all day long!"

Su Bai was afraid of his mother, so he didn't dare to show his temper anymore, and quietly stepped aside.

"Da Yu, have you brought back the tweezers?" Wang Sang asked.

Su Yu fumbled for a long time before he took out the tweezers from his sleeve and handed them to Wang Sang. "The uncle at the big blacksmith shop said that he will make the plow stick as soon as possible, and I can just wait for my father to pick it up after a while."

Wang Sang nodded. "Let's eat first," she beckoned to Su Fang to put the table on the floor, seeing that Su Yu was still freezing, she didn't order Su Yu, "I'll go and see your grandma in the evening, the three of you stay at home and look after the house , Shake the corn by the way, and I’ll do it when I get back.”

The two little girls nodded in understanding.Later, Su Yu suddenly remembered that her uncle's house seemed to have no soybeans this year, so she hurriedly said to Wang Sang, "Mother, the corn machine at my uncle's house should not be used. After you read it, my grandma, Just borrow it from their house."

Wang Sang thought that this was indeed the case, and nodded in agreement.

She didn't leave directly after dinner, she searched through boxes and cabinets for a long time before she found a piece of small floral cloth, then wrapped the tweezers in it, and left after wrapping it up.

Grandma is getting older, and her temper seems to be getting worse. She doesn't listen to advice on some things at all, which makes people in my uncle's family always angry, saying that the old lady is cheating on the old.

When Wang Sang went there, he saw that his uncle and uncle were angry with his grandma. The reason was that his uncle saw that her legs and feet were not convenient, so she left a bucket for her in the house for her to go to the toilet. But this grandma insisted on limping out to the outside, no, just fell hard tonight, and now she is still lying on the kang.

When Wang Sang heard about this, he couldn't laugh or cry.In fact, my aunt is really nice, and she is very attentive in taking care of my grandma. It is true that my grandma has gone too far in this matter.But after all, he is an old man, and he is still his own elder. As a junior, Wang Sang can't blame his grandmother. My grandma has become more righteous in the past few years, so you just have to put up with her for a few more years, don't be angry!"

My uncle has always been good-tempered, but this time she was really angry. It's so cold outside, you don't want to let you enjoy yourself in the house. If none of us finds you fall down, isn't grandma Are you going to freeze to death?
"I didn't mean her, Wang Sang, look how can there be someone like her..."

"Yes, yes, she is wrong, old aunt, don't be so fussy with her..." Wang Sang bluffed with his grandma at this time, and took the tweezers that Su Yu had just brought back from the town today, and gave it to her grandma. Picking eyelashes.Not to mention, these tweezers are really useful.

The grandma is hard of hearing, and she can't hear what the two of them are talking about, let alone know that they are talking about her.But obviously grandma didn't want to be excluded by the two of them, so she interrupted loudly: "Ah, you said that your land has been harvested? How much did you sell this time? Ah, you said that your Su Bai is disobedient, then you have to deal with him, this kid can't be used to it!"

Seeing that what the grandma said didn't match up with them, Wang Sang found it even more funny, but he couldn't ignore the grandma, so he responded loudly: "Yes! My land has been harvested! Xiaobai is very obedient! Grandma, please lie down quickly, or I won't be able to see the eyelashes that fell down!"

When he came out from his uncle's house with the corn machine, Wang Sang's voice was hoarse because he kept talking loudly with his grandma.

When they got home, the children were hesitant to talk to him, and Wang Sang couldn't help asking, "What happened?"

Su Yu glanced at Su Fang and decided to let her speak. "The people from the Jin family in the town came just now and said that they will start collecting this year's rent. Let us pay with food or teach with money."

Wang Sang nodded, motioning for Su Yu to continue.

"The problem is that the rent they asked for this year is more than twice that of last year. Why did it increase so much all of a sudden? They also said that if they don't pay the rent, it will definitely not make us feel better. I think they are tired of living... ..." Su Yu said angrily.

The evening wind blows through the wooden windows embedded in the wall, bringing a little bit of coolness to the house.Originally, a lot of corn stalks were burned at night, but the weather today is really not beautiful, and the heat was taken away by the cool air in a short while.

The family sat on the edge of the kang, thinking about what to do with this year's rent.Su Gu'an had also come back at this time, and after listening to Wang Sang finished talking about the situation in the afternoon, he turned to Su Yu and Su Fang and asked, "Which man is it?"

Su Yu thought about it for a while, that man was a popular face, and she still didn't remember what he looked like. "I don't remember what he looks like, but that man is tall, and seems to have more than one head more than you."

When Su Gu'an heard this, he immediately frowned: "So it's Ghost Seven. This man has been in the Jin family for a long time, and he collected all the hard-to-collect rents, and it is said that this man is cruel and merciless. The beauty of the girl from the Li family is what he told Landlord Jin."

The few people who heard this also frowned.Su Yu was also thinking about how to deal with such a difficult person.The gold landlord must still be resentful of the few taels of money that Su Yu extorted from him before, just because he didn't want to make things easier for their family, it's really stingy.

"I didn't go to my grandma's place back then, and I could still keep Guiqi at home for a meal. This time our family is having a hard time. I think this year's harvest is good. After paying the rent, there will be some left over for the children. Let’s add something, now we may not even have enough rent money.” Wang Sang secretly worried, the so-called strong dragon can’t fight against the local snake, not to mention that they can’t even count as earthworms now, how can they fight against such a rich man? It can only be the fate of being exploited and oppressed.

"Mother, don't worry, there will always be a solution." Su Yu patted Wang Sang on the back, comforting.If the family's rent is really not paid, then Su Yu thinks it's okay for her to pay for it.It just so happened that Yun Guiwan gave her a lot of money when she entered the city today, and after removing the deposit for the extra equipment, she still had some left over, so it must be no problem to pay the rent.

But Su Yu really didn't want to give this part of the money in his heart. Why did we work hard for a year, but in the end we couldn't even eat enough?Didn't you just lend us a few pieces of land?
"Yeah, think of a way, hurry up and get the money together." Wang Sang turned to look at these children. Su Bai went to bed early, and he was already snoring since he had nothing to worry about; Fang watched from the side, obediently silent, but her eyes were full of worry; Su Yu's eyes were shining, and she didn't seem to admit defeat at all.Since I still have so many children like you, I will also pay the rent in order for Gui Qi not to attack you.

In the next few days, Su Gu'an was still busy helping Uncle Li's family build a house. By the way, he also inquired about the amount of rent that the gold landlord would charge them this year.Then Su Gu'an discovered that it wasn't that their family had to pay so much, other families did the same, but their family had to pay more.

And the reason given by the gold landlord is very righteous, saying that everyone is responsible for the instability of the border, and the extra money they handed over will be used as military funds.He is really talking nonsense with his eyes open, who doesn't know how he is a gold landlord?

While Wang Sang was working, he was calculating whether the food in their family was worth the rent.If more rice and corn are counted, then it is almost enough.But they still have some grain to eat next year, and now they have a cow, how can they do without some corn.

Su Yu was sitting next to Wang Sang, shaking another corn machine, and looked at Wang Sang in a daze.She also knew the difficulties at home, so she couldn't help comforting her, "Mother, if I think of a way, we might be able to pay less of this money." Su Yu smirked.

Seeing Su Yu's appearance, Wang Sang was shocked: "Da Yu, don't have any bad thoughts. Last time I failed to stop you when it happened with the watermelon. You are absolutely not allowed to do what you did this time. As he was talking, Wang Sang sighed: "Dayu, I know you are doing it for the good of our family, but as the saying goes, people don't fight with officials. Although this gold landlord is not an official, he is better than an official." It's scary, mother really doesn't want anything to happen to you, so don't meddle in this matter."

Su Yu actually wanted to refute, but held back.If she can't bear it, she will make big plans. When she was in the town, Fatty Jin was by her side to give her more shields. Even if she could really win against Landlord Jin this time, it would just make him hate herself even more.Then take it easy this time, this bully, and one day Su Yu will let him return even the profits.

"How much money is left in our family?" Wang Sang asked.

"Less than two taels." Su Yu said truthfully.This money has been kept with Su Yu from the very beginning, except for buying things for the family, it has not been touched at all.

"That's about the same, let's count the money."

Hearing what Wang Sang said, Su Fang, who had been silent all this time, finally couldn't help asking: "Then if we give all the money to the gold landlord, what land will we get next year?"

"Then let's not cover it, and we can figure out a way in the next year." Wang Sang said helplessly.

Don't be too angry in Su Yu's heart, she handed the corn machine to Su Fang, and went straight out. "Xiaofang, do it first, I'll go out to get some air."
