Zhang Qiquan took a deep breath, and his eye circles turned red, "Mom and Dad, I am the older of you, but I am worthy of this family. It's because you don't like me, think I have no children, and are not willing to leave a penny for me. You have chosen to go to the back of Shili Mountain, so why should you blame me for being unfilial?"
"You still want to say that your parents are wrong? There are no bad parents in the world." Old Mrs. Zhang cried loudly, which was both false and a bit scared. "Tell me, do you not want to care about me anymore? I am you Mother, can you leave me alone? You are an unfilial creature. I would rather have a dog than you."
The old lady at the entrance of the village is always like this. If she can't convince you, she starts to be illogical.
Although Zhang Qiquan was not afraid, he still felt aggrieved.
However, Liu Cui couldn't hold it any longer, and rushed over like crazy, blocking in front of her husband, and yelled at Old Mrs. Zhang, "You said you are a mother, have you ever cherished him? Who? When our children are sent out to be apprentices at the age of thirteen, why are they not the other two? Why do you want to take care of the most filial child? Are you a mother? You are trying to pick a weakling. Let me tell you, you are not me. Mom, if you bully me as the head of the family again, I will fight you tooth and nail."
Not saying something is not because you don't have a long mouth, but out of filial piety.
It just so happens that parents always choose the filial one.
But there are times when filial people are driven crazy.
Liu Cui, who had always been gentle, cursed like crazy and Mrs. Zhang was shocked.
Others in the village were talking a lot. Some sympathized with Liu Cui, some secretly cursed the Zhang family, and some couldn't help but stand up for justice.
Qian Cunzheng frowned and shouted, "You guys from the Zhang family have gone too far."
Mrs. Zhang sat down on the ground and was speechless for a long time.
Zhang Qiquan recovered, sniffed, and was about to take the opportunity to publicize the land purchase.
Suddenly, someone was stretching behind me.
When he turned around, he saw Jiang Sheng's smiling features.
"Uncle Zhang, look at that." She pointed to the opposite side.
Zhang Qiquan turned around again and saw Zheng Ruqian walking over like a coquettish figure, swinging a folding fan in his hand. He looked a bit like an aristocratic gentleman he had seen in Fucheng, but he felt that something was missing, which was weird.
"Ahem." As soon as Zheng Ruqian stood still, he shook off the folding fan and said in a flirtatious manner, "Are you the Zhang family? Just in time, Zhang Qiquan signed a contract with me, saying that he would help me earn fifty taels of silver a year. As a result, If you don't make any money, you have to pay compensation. I came back with him today to ask for money. Since you are a family, just pay back the fifty taels of silver."
He opened a piece of paper and wrote a lot of words on it. At the end was Zhang Qiquan's name with red fingerprints printed on it.
The Zhang family were all shocked.
They were illiterate, but they knew Zhang Qiquan's name, and they also knew that the red handprint and red seal were documents that had passed through the government.
In other words, these fifty taels are guaranteed compensation.
The two Zhang brothers were so frightened that they looked at each other and ran away.
They are just older brothers and younger brothers, and they don't have much to do with each other. It doesn't matter if they don't care.
The Zhang family's parents also wanted to run away, but were stopped by Zheng Ruqian.
"You are his father and mother. You have to enjoy the money he makes, and you have to bear the money he loses." Mr. Zheng smiled sinisterly, "Fifty taels of silver, not a penny less."
Mrs. Zhang, who was spitting just now, was so frightened that she kept saying, "No, no, no, we have nothing to do with him. He is not my son."
"Really? Zheng Ruqian is skeptical.
"Really, really." Old Man Zhang pointed around, "Everyone in the village is watching, and Qian Cunzheng is also watching. From now on, the third child will no longer be our son."
All the people watching spit on the ground.
Thinking that people are making money, they stick to them and ask for money. Now that they are going to lose money, they just slip on their feet.
Whoever gets in trouble with this kind of family will be in trouble.
Qian Cunzheng was also heartbroken for Zhang Qiquan, and said at the top of his voice, "In this case, let's write a divorce letter."
For me, if I want to draw a clear line between myself and my parents in the village, it is enough to have the approval of the village chief and the villagers.
But Jiang Sheng and Zheng Ruqian were worried. Together, they took out the share-sharing contract signed by Zhang Qiquan, successfully frightened the Zhang family away, and even signed a divorce letter.
After they passed the Ming Road and filed a record with the government officials, the life and death of the Zhang family's parents really had nothing to do with Zhang Qiquan, and no one would care about it if they reported it to the government officials.
Zhang Qiquan and Liu Cui were grateful from the bottom of their hearts and started to discuss the land purchase.
"This is Mr. Zheng. He came to our village to buy land. In the future, he will plant beans. He will give priority to hiring the people who sell the land. The settlement will be based on the day. If you sign a long-term contract, you will get more preferential treatment."
Qian Cunzheng also helped speak and provided guarantee.
The villagers put down their guard, and those who were short of money began to take action. At first, there was one land seller, and soon it became two, three, and five.
After a while, I bought six acres of land.
According to the market price of five taels of silver per mu, this is thirty taels.
Zheng Ruqian acted quickly and asked Qian Cunzheng for help on the spot, drawing up the contract, paying the money with one hand, and signing the deed with the other.
After passing the Ming Road, these places will be transferred to the names of the Zheng Ruqian brothers and sisters, and they will become real members of the family.
The main entrance of the village.
Zheng Ruqian is discussing with Zhang Qiquan to give preferential treatment to people who buy land, so as to attract more people in Shili Town to sell their land.
Zhou Zhiqiang, who had just received the news, ran over cursing.
Jiang Sheng whispered in Aunt Zhang's ear, "It turns out that he is just a loser. He even lags behind others in making trouble."
Zhang Xianglian was still a little nervous at first, but she laughed when she heard this, and the last trace of emotion was thrown away.
What does she have to fear?
He was just a husband and had divorced her a long time ago, and he didn't even have the kindness to bring her up to threaten her.
So as soon as Zhou Zhiqiang stood still, Zhang Xianglian looked over with a cold face and uttered one word, "Get out."
The most frightening thing is when a gentle person becomes cold.
The person who had been beaten and scolded and endured the humiliation, and who was so familiar to his bones while lying next to him, was now so unfamiliar.
She became beautiful and young, her fatigue and hardship disappeared from her brows, and she was as gentle and bright as when she got married.
Zhou Zhiqiang took several steps back.
Jiang Sheng took the opportunity to take out Qian Cunzheng's puppy, pushed it towards him, and whistled like his brother.
The puppy cooperated very well and peed on the ground.
Zhou Zhiqiang lowered his head and saw his own reflection. He couldn't help it anymore and turned around to run away.
Liu Cui held Zhang Xianglian's arm and asked quietly, "Sister, how did you become so strong?"
She smiled softly, "Have you ever thought about the past?"
Liu Cui immediately shook her head like a rattle.
That’s fine.
Zhang Xianglian smiled lightly, her face gentle and pretty.
The land purchase was in full swing, and Zheng Ruqian acted very quickly. The next day, he signed up several mature men from land sellers to be responsible for farming, and they paid five cents a day.
There are two workers in Shili Town. They hire people to farm the land and usually only pay two or three cents a day. They also deduct wages because the work is not done well.
Zheng Ruqian generously gave five cents, and the payment was settled on the same day without any deductions.
As soon as the news spread, it immediately aroused emotion, and the people who had originally expressed their feelings for it all became enthusiastic and asked whether they would sell it or not. The main reason was that they wanted to receive five cents a day's wages.
Zheng Ruqian was noncommittal about this.
The land parcels in Shilipu Village were signed. He wanted to buy the fields in other villages that were clustered together. The terrain was good and the soil was fertile, so he naturally had to wait for a while.
It was delayed until the people couldn't wait, until they were willing to sell the land connected together.
Gradually it started to smell like a profiteer.
But before Zheng Ruqian's brother and sister could be happy, the two original members of Shili Town were unhappy.
