Before Lai Si could recover from the double liquidated damages, he was slapped all over the head and face by Chen Jiao and was a little confused.
She came back to her senses and looked at the furious Chen Jiao, and then looked at the dark-faced Zhang Qingxiang standing behind her. She stared at Zhang Qingxiang and said, "You two came just in time. I just said you want me to rent the land. You kid?" You have to kneel down and apologize to me.”
"Bah, you dirty bastard, do you dare to tell me why you were beaten? I apologize to you. Unless the sun comes out from the west, I won't even rent your land if you beg me to rent it. I will just rent it now." I will plant wheat on the land for you, and you will give me twice the rent in return." Chen Jiao scolded her for a while, and swore to comply with Lai Si's request.
Lai Si was stunned for a moment, swallowed his saliva and muttered: "You don't want to rent anymore, why should you ask me to refund the rent?"
Cheng Xiang looked at Chen Jiao's furious look and guessed that Lai Si must have done something to her, otherwise Zhang Qingxiang wouldn't have beaten him for no reason.
Looking at Lai Si now, it was as expected. He either wanted to quit the rent, or was deliberately making things difficult for him to get more rent.
Shen Shen said to Lai Si: "I just told you, the rent will not be paid even a cent more. If you want to cheat, double the rent will be returned." Cheng Xiang looked at the crowd of onlookers, guessing who was behind the scenes. The person he made the move must have come back to watch the excitement. He withdrew his gaze and looked at Lai Si: "Go to the person who gave you the advice and discuss it carefully. Should you continue to perform the contract or break the contract? If you want to file a lawsuit, we will accompany you. Anyway, We have the time, we have the money, and we can afford it.”
After saying that, he took Chen Jiao and Zhang Qingxiang back home and closed the door.
Lai Si stood in a daze for a while, his cotton-padded clothes had already been soaked by Cheng Xiang's basin of cold water. He couldn't bear it anymore, his body was trembling a little, and his teeth started to chatter.
The onlookers also laughed at him: "Lai Si, don't steal the chicken but lose the rice. Go back."
"Take advantage of small things and suffer big losses."
Lai Si stood there for a while, then turned away with a snort.
In the yard, Cheng Xiang said to Zhang Qingxiang: "Brother Qingxiang, follow Lai Si. He will definitely find the person who gave him the advice. Follow him to find out who is causing trouble."
"Okay." Zhang Qingxiang responded, then went out and followed quietly.
In the room, Chen Jiao told the whole story in detail with tears in her eyes.
"Son of a bitch." Cheng Xiang suddenly cursed. If Chen Jiao hadn't held him back, Cheng Xiang would have chased after that bastard Lai Si with a knife and chopped him down.
It turns out that Chen Jiao has been worried since she left Cheng Xiang yesterday. The yam seedlings have been ordered, the ditches have been laid, fertilizers and equipment have been purchased. If Lai Si refuses to rent the land, it will be a while. Where to find land again?
Even if it is found, it will definitely be too late to plow the land again and dig ditches.
After dinner, I went to the vegetable greenhouse and took a look at the vegetable seedlings. The more I thought about it, the more annoyed I became. I wanted to know what this Lai Si wanted to do?
Unable to wait any longer, he said to Zhang Qingxiang: "I'm going out for a while. You can go home directly after you finish."
After leaving the vegetable shed, we went directly to Lai Si's house.
Lai Si played cards outside all afternoon. He was lucky today. He won some money, bought half a catty of braised pork, drank some wine, and felt groggy and wanted to sleep.
Hearing a knock on the door, he stood up and saw that it was Chen Jiao. Knowing that she was here to rent land, he burped and said, "What are you doing here?"
Chen Jiao patiently said with a smile: "Fourth brother, I'm just here to ask why you suddenly don't want to rent land? Tell me what's the problem and let us help you find a solution."
Lai Si glanced at Chen Jiao: "There's no problem, I don't want to rent it anymore." He turned around and wandered into the house, saying at the same time: "I think I'm old enough and it's time to get a wife. It's not good if I don't even have land." Get a wife."
Chen Jiao rolled her eyes behind him and thought to herself: "Who would be blind enough to marry a scoundrel like you?"
But he still followed in with a heavy heart: "Fourth brother, there is still a guarantee of harvest in the field of drought and flood. If you rent this land, you don't have to rely on the weather for a living, and you don't have to worry about whether the harvest is good or not. You don't have to work in the fields in the wind and sun, every year. Wouldn’t it be better to have ready money?”
After listening to Chen Jiao's words, Lai Si looked back at her. This woman used to be with Zhou Tianwang. She always acted like a frustrated little daughter-in-law, with a bitter look on her face. She walked in the village without raising her head.
Her skinny figure can be touched by a gust of wind.
When several bachelor men from their village got together, they always joked that Chen Jiao's small body had been tortured by Zhou Tianwang.
Hearing her eloquent speech today, I felt very surprised. Under the dim tungsten light in the room, Chen Jiao's face turned slightly red. Since the divorce, her figure seemed to have become a lot more rounded.
At this moment, with a smile on his face and shining eyes, he looked at Lai Si, and Lai Si's heart was actually trembling with emotion.
He leaned over with a playful smile: "Sister, you have been divorced for such a long time, and you don't think about finding another one?"
After hearing what he said, Chen Jiao's face darkened: "Lai Si, I came to you to talk about serious matters, so please be respectful."
Lai Si smiled coquettishly and said: "I'm serious, what do you think of Fourth Brother? If you marry me, will you still rent the land? Use it however you want? Fourth Brother's family is rich, you see Look at my three tile-roofed houses, I can't live in them even if I give birth to several children. If you follow me, I will love you well. I love others better than Zhou Tianwang."
Chen Jiao looked at the sullen look on his face and felt nauseated. Zhiye couldn't say anything to him to avoid causing trouble for no reason. She took two steps back and said, "Think about it carefully. Those two acres of land are rented to us. It’s better than dying in your hands.” After saying that, he turned around and headed out.
Being drunk and emboldened, Lai Si's blood surged and he stepped forward and hugged Chen Jiao from behind.
"Little girl, why are you running away? Isn't that what you want when you come to me in the middle of the night? Fourth brother will love you so much, and I will give you the land, okay?"
As he spoke, he pouted his mouth and bit into Chen Jiao's face.
Chen Jiao struggled in panic, kicking and scratching: "Lai Si, you bastard, let me go."
Lai Si received two slaps, but still refused to let go. He pressed Chen Jiao on the Eight Immortals table in the main room, and reached out to touch inside the clothes.
Chen Jiao was anxious and scared, and kept struggling. Lai Si looked skinny, but he had a huge advantage against the woman's strength.
Chen Jiao burst into anxious tears, and when she was almost in despair, a blast of punches hit her ears. Lai Si, who was holding him, let out a muffled groan and fell to the ground. ,
Chen Jiao recovered from her panic and saw Zhang Qingxiang's generous back, pressing Lai Si on the ground, firing his bow from left to right and beating him violently.
