Meng Ning moved a stool for Aunt Zhao to sit on.
"Your land needs to be rented out." Aunt Zhao asked with a smile.
She was also present just now and helped protect the two girls, but she didn't mention the matter on the other side, so as not to scare a few more children.
"Well, does Aunt Zhao plan to rent land?" Meng Ning asked.
"Yes, I have seen your fields. They are all considered fertile fields. How do you plan to collect the rent? Or should you use grain to offset it?"
It is precisely because they are fertile fields that Dafang and Sanfang want to dominate them. These fields are close to the river and there are ditches on both sides. The soil is soft and moist, and irrigation is very convenient.
Meng Laoer is the most honest and diligent child of Old Meng. When the family was separated, Old Meng gave the best land to Meng Laoer. However, Meng Laoer and his wife also died in an accident a year after Old Meng. , a few young children almost couldn't protect these fields.
In ancient times, without the protection of parents, orphans were easily exterminated. At the beginning, it was not easy to openly ask for the land deed for a big house with three bedrooms, because there were so many people in the village watching.
They thought that after farming for a long time, the land would naturally become theirs, and it would not be too late to ask for the land deed when the time comes.
And this time, Meng Laosan called so many people just to keep the children in good condition and get the land deed. The big house also wanted to follow the third house to take advantage of this.
Meng Li said: "We plan to collect rent directly. The rent will be based on the market price. One tael per acre of land. What do you think, Aunt Zhao?"
Aunt Zhao thought she would receive one tael for these fertile fields, but when she saw how straightforward the children were, she nodded happily: "Okay, I'll rent them all for one tael per acre, and I'll give you a hundred catties of rice as a gift."
"Aunt Zhao, we want rent." Meng Li said, "No matter how much food you grow, it belongs to your family."
"Oh, Aunt Zhao knows that you don't farm, but want to make a living by doing work. In this way, you have to buy everything. My one tael of silver to rent these fields is considered an advantage. You deserve a hundred kilograms of rice. Don't It’s good to be polite to Aunt Zhao, it can lighten the burden a little bit.”
When everyone saw that Aunt Zhao was so sincere, they wouldn't shirk it. They would always remember the good things she did to them.
He also went to the village scholar to sign a land lease contract and pressed his fingerprints, and Aunt Zhao readily paid the rent.
"Hey, the master has already earned ten taels of silver on his own. He still has ninety taels left to complete the upgrade."
Probably because I earned a little too much this time, the space gave me a hint.
Meng Li discovered that if she took the initiative to earn money, even if it was related to the land shared by the whole family, it would be counted on her head, and the money earned by her eldest brother and the others from their own work would not be counted.
Therefore, she should use her subjective initiative to make money.
However, it’s not easy to earn the next ninety taels. The family’s largest industrial land is rented out, and it’s only ninety taels. Is there any way to earn ninety taels?
When Aunt Zhao took the contract and said goodbye to the second roommate and walked out of the yard, the Li family's mother-in-law from the east end of the village also arrived: "Ah, I was just about to rent the land, and you have rented it."
Aunt Zhao smiled and said: "Aunt Li, who told you not to come faster? I have rented out all those fields. One tael of silver per acre is really a bargain."
"Oh, I really should have come sooner. Instead of renting everything out, I might as well share half of it with you."
Seeing that the second-bedroom land was all rented out, the Li family's mother-in-law didn't bother and followed Aunt Zhao away.
At this time, the faces of the people in the first and third rooms were turning blue and white.
The seven brothers of the Zhao family are all strong and strong, and they are one of the most prestigious people in the village. They cannot afford to offend them.
After looking for Wang Langzhong, the medical expenses for the injured totaled at least twenty taels.
"Why do you want so much?" Wan couldn't believe her ears.
"These two are also poisoned. If they are not treated earlier, their lives will be in danger in five days."
Wang Langzhong saw that the poison on the two thugs was the same as that on Meng Dawang's wrist, and one was in his throat and the other was in his chest. The situation was much more serious than Meng Dawang's.
"You are poisoned. Whoever poisoned you will be treated. Why should our family be blamed?" Wan said excitedly.
Meng Laosan hurriedly said: "Everyone is watching the fight. How could they be poisoned? Is it because someone is playing dirty tricks?"
"I don't know about this. Anyway, it was you who acted first, and there is no evidence that someone else poisoned you. You feel aggrieved and you can only swallow it. This poison must be treated. If it doesn't cure someone, one person will be killed." It’s not easy for you to compensate for ten taels of silver.”
Wang Langzhong also couldn't stand what Sanfang did.
The two poisoned ones also howled.
"We were poisoned here. We were all fine when we came here. If you don't cure it, who will cure it?"
"We are the backbone of the family. If we die, the family will not let you go."
Wanshi staggered and almost fainted, while Meng Laosan also turned pale.
Twenty taels of silver, what is the concept? The family has to work hard to save for several years.
Meng Bufan gritted his teeth and his eyes were red with hatred: "We have been tricked by the second roommate. I will go to them to settle the score."
"Are you better than Meng Wu or Lu Mu?" Meng Laosan shouted.
No one saw the poisoning, so the people in the second room could deny it, but beat Meng Dawang back with bruises all over his body.
They were the ones who called here. If something happened in their yard, they would have no choice but to take responsibility no matter how unwilling they were.
Meng Laosan punched the table hard and roared.
He would not swallow this mute loss in vain.
When Shen and Boss Meng saw that Sanfang had suffered such a big loss, they felt that losing sixty taels of silver was nothing.
On the way back, Mrs. Shen quietly said to Boss Meng, "Husband, do you think it is the same poison as our family's Dawang?"
Boss Meng was shocked. If so, he might have something to do with that girl.
He seemed to have seen the two men swaying in front of the girl.
However, just by walking in front of him, he concluded that it was poisoned by someone else. Who would believe it?
This Meng Li is not simple. He has caused great misfortune to both families just after he woke up. Boss Meng secretly took a breath and must be more careful in the future.
"Those fields are pitiful." Mrs. Shen pressed her heart, feeling distressed, and gritted her teeth and cursed: "These evil bastards."
I originally thought that a few brothers and sisters would go farming, but they went to the fields to make trouble, leaving them unable to do anything. When the crops grew, they were pulled out by them, leaving them with nothing.
Now the tenants are such a prosperous family, how can they dare to provoke them?
As night fell, Meng Li lay on the bed, and Lu Mu also lay down on the floor at the head of the bed.
"Lu Mu." Meng Li said.
"Yeah." Lu Mu waited for him to speak.
Meng Li turned over: "Forget it."
She wanted to ask Lu Mu where he learned such powerful martial arts, and she could tell that he didn't want to show off his skills at first, so he waited a beat until his two brothers couldn't hold him back before taking action.
Lu Mu: "..."
When she woke up the next day, Meng Li's left leg had gained a third of its strength, and her right leg had almost recovered by half.
She tried to throw away the crutches and train, and she lasted longer than yesterday, and she was no longer so sweaty.
Today was street day. After breakfast, she said to Lu Mu: "I'm going to take a look on the street. Once I've walked around, you can send me to the boxing gym to watch my brother boxing, and then you can carry things to people."
She wants to see the business here, understand the prices here, and the basic situation of the market.
