Transmigrated Into Farmer's Family

Xu Qing: "do you want to help me out?"

Li Changting: "lady, just tell me."

Xu Qing slightly hook lips, slightly happy: "not urgent, first put the field back again."

When people in the room saw Li Changting coming back, they all said hello to him.

Several senior uncles are even more like meeting their own sons. They are so enthusiastic that they scramble to invite him home for dinner and drinks.

Li Changting nodded, smile, and then refused one by one, neither close nor cold.

However, Li Changting did not refute the faces of his uncles too much: "sit down, everyone. I know what you mean. We are all neighbors of the Li family. We are thicker than other people's families. If you have anything to say, we will discuss it."

"Yes, yes!"

On hearing this, everyone felt at ease!

It was Li Changting who was absent just now. Li Jinmei can't be the master. Now that the leader of the family is back, can't we have a good discussion.

"Changting, I'm your uncle Li. I held you when you were a child." The old man with gray beard twists his pipe and grins at the corners of his mouth, revealing two rows of sparse yellow teeth.

Uncle Li is the eldest here. He speaks first, and the other two families are not easy to talk.

Li Changting replied with a smile: "Uncle Li, I heard my sister say that every autumn harvest, you are the first to pay the rent, ten years so, really let Changting admire you."

On hearing this, Uncle Li laughed even more happily: "you flatter me! I rented your land and should have given it to you. It's a matter of course! "

The faces of the other two families were not good-looking immediately. They always felt that Li Changting and Li Dabo had something to say and were criticizing each other.

But in the twinkling of an eye, Uncle Li was in a dilemma: "I heard that your family wants to take back all the rented fields, right?"

"Yes." Li Changting's reply was straightforward without hesitation.

Uncle Li said: "but you usually have to hunt. How can you spend so much time cooking the fields? Five mu of land can't make your daughter-in-law tired, so I think... "

"I'll talk about that later." Li Changting reached out to interrupt Uncle Li and looked at the other two families. "I'm sure I'll take back the three acres of paddy fields. After you take the spring rice, I'll take them back together. This year's rent is not yours. Do you have any opinions about Uncle Li and Uncle Li?"

Li Er Shu and Li San Shu were brothers. At that time, one person rented one mu.

"We have no problem. If you want to plant it yourself, just take it back." Two people smile, their two families are not different from this one mu two Mu paddy field, every year there are surplus grain to sell out, but more profit, less profit.

Li Changting: "that's good. Please ask Li Er Shu and Li San Shu to pay back the five years' rent in arrears first?"

Uncle Li patted his thigh: "I'm here today to tell you about it! I don't think the rent should be calculated as before. "

Li Changting: "Oh?"

"What was that ten years ago? There were many wars, and several people fled here. Every family was short of land. At that time, paddy fields were really valuable. But after three or four years, we started to open up wasteland for farming. There were more and more fields, and the rice improved by the imperial court was also more and more abundant. But the value of the fields was devalued a lot. Even the landlords reduced their rents. It's unreasonable that we still pay them according to the old contract. It's too unfair. "

Li Ershu was sincere and justified, saying that he did not deliberately default on the rent.

Li Jinmei put in a remark: "the rent of the land collected by the big families in the town did drop a few years ago, but in the next two years, there were more and more people in the town. Now the rent of the land has gone up, no less than ten years ago."

Li San Shu reminds: "it's up, but it's up this year."

The land is what the villagers rely on for survival, and the rent has never been cheap.

Half of the fields in Changxi village are owned by the big families in the town. After the annual harvest, they have to pay rent and tax, which is like peeling off a layer of skin.

Although Li Changting is only a hunter, his family has real houses, fields and land. Unfortunately, he can't grow them. His life is not as good as that of ordinary people.

Five mu of land is not a small number, otherwise, Mrs. Cao would not have tried her best to keep an eye on it.

Li Changting was silent for a while, and said, "what Uncle Li said is reasonable, but I don't know how you want to calculate the rent?"

Seeing the play, Li Er Shu said with a smile: "uncle is not unreasonable either. I want to calculate the rent for the next five years according to the annual land rent set by the big family. If you agree, I will pay you the rent now."

Li Changting laughs: "I see. I agree."

Li Jinmei frowned: "but..."

Li Changting said quickly: "since the land rent is set by a large family, I can't favor one over the other. Uncle Li, I'll return the extra land rent to you later."

Smell speech, Li Jinmei and Li big uncle loosen brow, smile.

After Li Er Shu and Li San Shu worked out the rent, they gave it very freely.

They all belong to the same family. Although they are not related by blood, they sound more intimate than others. The patriarch is more strict with the descendants of the same clan. They are not willing to make the relationship stiff.After paying the rent, the two uncles left.

Li Changting returned the extra rent to Uncle Li. Uncle Li didn't refuse. He really needed the money, but he didn't rush to leave after taking it.

Li Changting: "Uncle Li, if you have something else to do, please tell me."
