After a cup of tea, I walked outside a courtyard.
Entering the courtyard, Liu Anan took a look, oh, as soon as he entered the standard small courtyard, there was a blue brick floor, a rocking chair, a grape trellis, and two canaries hanging on the porch.
It seems that the second butler is quite enjoying it.
"Get away!"
A woman's voice came from the east wing.
"Little girl, if you don't drink the toast and you have to drink the fine wine, you still expect Liu He to save you? If you follow me, my father is the second steward of the village, so what if the owner changes? I heard that the new owner is just a small business owner. Girl, what can she know? She has to rely on my father!"
Your uncle, how dare you look down on me, Liu Anan was angry.
He took a step forward, kicked open the door, took out the whip from his waist and whipped it down.
"Who the hell hit me?"
The man who spoke jumped up, looked back, and saw a little girl in front of him.
The man's eyes lit up, this little girl is so pretty.
"Look again, I'll dig out your eyeballs!" Lian Sheng drew out his soft sword and placed it across the man's neck.
"Sister!" Liu He took the opportunity to rush forward and hold the girl huddled in the corner in his arms.
"elder brother!"
The brother and sister hugged each other and cried.
"Take people out!" Lian Sheng said coldly.
Dafeng stepped forward and grabbed the man's neck collar, carried the man out, and threw him to the ground.
"Who are you? Do you know who I am?" the man shouted.
"Beast, shut up!" The second housekeeper limped in.
"Dad, are you scolding me?" The man stared unhappily.
"This is Liu Dong's house." The second housekeeper whispered to the man.
The man was stunned for a moment and then fell silent.
Cuihua moved two chairs out of the room and Liansheng helped Liu Anan sit down.
"You are the second steward of Zhuangzi. What is your name?" Liu An'an held a whip in his hand and struck it gently.
"Liu Dong's family, the villain's surname is Pang, and his name is Pang Hu. He is the second housekeeper of Zhuangzi. This is Pang Ercai, the dog son. He likes Liu He's sister Liu Xiang. We really want to marry Liu Xiang."
"You fart! Your son Pang Ercai only has eight friends from outside. They are all involved in food, drink, prostitution and gambling. Although my family is poor, they will not marry my sister to your son. Your son will use force to snatch my sister away. !”
Liu He's eyes turned red.
"Is what Liu He said true?" Liu Anan looked at Pang Hu.
"He's talking nonsense. Liu Xiang was the one who pestered me! She recommended herself as a pillow!" Pang Ercai jumped up from the ground and retorted.
"Boss, I didn't, he was talking nonsense!" Liu Xiang was crying so hard that he was out of breath.
"Little girl, you..." Before Pang Er could finish speaking, Liu Anan's whip moved.
"Pang Ercai, I just heard it at the door. The right and wrong will be decided by themselves. If you don't tell the truth, we will go to the official. Liu He, do you dare to go to the county government office to seek justice for your sister?"
"Dare to go!"
The brother and sister said in unison.
"You bastard, you really embarrass me, and you still haven't apologized to Miss Liu Xiang!"
Pang Hu suddenly remembered what the butler said when he left, "Don't mess with the new owner, you can't afford to mess with him." Is there anyone in the new owner's county?
Thinking of this, Pang Hu was a little scared, "My boss, the villain has realized his mistake. I will discipline the second talent well in the future. Don't worry, my boss."
After saying that, Pang Hu kicked Pang Ercai.
Pang Ercai also said quickly: "Miss Axiang, it's my fault. You don't remember the faults of others."
"Miss Axiang, he didn't hurt you, right?" Liu Anan asked.
Liu Xiang shook his head and whispered: "Thank you, boss. He came quickly and he didn't hurt me."
"Pang Hu, your son robbed someone else's girl. You can't let it go like this. You have to pay ten taels of silver or go to the county government and get ten slaps. It's your choice."
Pang Hu gritted his teeth, took out ten taels of silver notes from his pocket, and handed them to Liu He.
When Liu He saw that his boss wanted to pay ten taels of silver for him and that his sister was fine, he didn't want to pursue it anymore. After all, his boss had helped him and he couldn't let his boss worry about it anymore, so he took the banknote.
Liu Anan glanced at Pang Hu and said, "How you discipline him has nothing to do with me. I'll give you a quarter of an hour to pack up and leave here."
"Boss? What do you mean?" Pang Hu was a little confused.
"I am the master of my village. People like you are not worthy of being my second housekeeper. And the few who just beat people, please leave immediately!"
"My boss, I have been in Zhuangzi for more than ten years. I have been here longer than my boss. If I leave, I'm afraid my boss won't be able to play with this Zhuangzi anymore! My money will be wasted."
Pang Hu narrowed his eyes, not even calling him a villain anymore, he looked quite crazy like that.
Yo, are you threatening me?
Liu Anan sneered in her heart, "I have a lot of money, I'm happy with it, do you have any objections?"
"You? Okay, let's go! Don't regret it!" Pang Hu said and went into the house to pack things. In fact, there was nothing to pack. He had already moved away the important things.
After a while, Pang Hu and Pang Er came out with two small bundles.
Several people from Zhuangzi who had just participated in the beating of Liu He, and five or six other people who were watching the fun also left.
"Is there anyone left? Tell me as soon as possible, don't say I didn't give you a chance." Liu Anan glanced at the remaining people.
"My boss, those people who left are all Pang Hu's people. They usually use their power to bully others. We are all honest tenants. We just want to have enough food and clothing. I beg my boss not to drive us away."
It was the middle-aged man who spoke.
"Yes, boss, we will work hard."
"My boss, thank you for saving our brothers and sisters. Liu He will repay your boss's kindness even though he is a cow and a horse!" Liu He and Liu Xiang knelt down and kowtowed.
"Get up quickly." Liu Anan motioned to the brother and sister to get up.
"Liu He, let me ask you, how many tenant households are there in Zhuangzi? How many people are there in the orchard and the vegetable garden?"
"Back to my boss, I came to Zhuangzi with my parents and sisters when I was ten years old. I am very familiar with Zhuangzi. Currently, there are 102 tenant households in Zhuangzi. The most populous is the Ergen family, which has fifteen people, old and young. The youngest are our brothers and sisters. Only Two people.”
"Forty-six children under twelve years old, seventy-two over sixty years old, sixty people in the orchard, twenty people in the vegetable garden..."
Liu He clearly explained Zhuangzi in detail, and Liu An couldn't help but nodded.
"Boss, Liu He has a quick mind, a good character, and works quickly and steadily. He's a great guy!" It was another middle-aged man who spoke.
"What are you doing in Zhuangzi?" Liu Anan asked the middle-aged man. When Liu He was beaten just now, this middle-aged man was the first to rush forward to help Liu He.
"Going back to my boss's house, the little man Wang Si is working in the orchard with my father. The little man's family has been growing fruit trees since his ancestors. There was a flood at home and he came here more than ten years ago."
"Liu He, Zhuangzi is short of a steward. If you dare to challenge, you can give it a try."
Liu An'an saw that Liu He was ruthless, so she was willing to give him this opportunity because of the situation in Zhuangzi that she just mentioned.
Liu He's eyes lit up, "Thank you, the boss, for giving me this opportunity for three months. If the villain is not qualified, my boss will replace me."
"I'll give you half a year. After all, Zhuangzi is not a small company and has many affairs. You are in charge. You can choose a few people to form a team. Is there someone in charge of the orchard and vegetable garden?"
"Back to my employer, the orchard, the vegetable garden manager just left with the second housekeeper." Liu He replied.
Liu Anan couldn't help but rolled his eyes, "Wang Si, your ancestors tended the fruit trees, and you will be in charge of the orchard from now on."
Wang Si was very excited when he heard this, "I thank my boss for trusting me, I will do a good job!"
Wang Si wiped his tears and said: "Before my death, my father was always thinking about the small orchard at home. If I knew that this villain is now the orchard manager, I would be so happy!"
"You go back, burn incense to the old man, tell him the good news, and work hard from now on. The old man will feel more at ease in heaven."
Wang Si knelt down and kowtowed again.
Liu An'an actually didn't like the fact that this ancient man always knelt down, but he had no choice but to do as the Romans did. Didn't he also kneel before the county magistrate? Alas, the evil old society.
"As for the steward of the vegetable garden, you two can discuss it and choose someone who is down-to-earth and hard-working."
Liu He and Wang Si nodded and took note.
"Mr. Xu used to charge 50% of the rent. After paying taxes on the surplus grain, will you be able to eat?"
Liu Anan needs to understand that he doesn't want to be a bully landlord. If you want a horse to run fast, you have to feed it well, otherwise the horse will hit you with bricks from behind.
