"Aunt Niu, what did you say? I remember the day I bought the land from you, you promised me that you would never go back on it. What are you doing now?"
"Miss Su, please take pity on me. It was me who went to sell the land that day. But since my head heard that the government gave me money to buy stones, he gave me a good lesson, saying that if today If I don't go back to the fields, I will be divorced. Miss Su, I am already so old. If I am divorced and returned to my parents' home, how will you let me live? Please be kind and take pity on me. Give me back the fields, ugh..."
Mr. Niu cried while talking, so sad.
Su Yu raised her eyebrows. There were not many people in Jinjia Village. In the past few days, she had already figured out the thorny habits of several people in Jinjia Village. She had heard about Mr. Niu's character for a long time. She originally thought that this person She would jump and scold her when she came up, but she didn't expect that she would change her ways this time. But if Niu said that she was a little girl and wanted her to soften her heart and change her mind, then her wishful thinking was wrong. She has always been Don't eat soft or hard food.
"Auntie, please take pity on me. My eldest brother and I came from the North, and my parents are still waiting for us to go back to pick them up. Now my brother is studying in the Imperial College, and he has to spend money everywhere. I originally bought a house in the village. I just wanted to raise some chickens and ducks in these fields. Otherwise, the fields would be full of rocks at that time. I'm not a fool, so why would I buy them? But now I can see the benefits. Auntie, you come to my place to make trouble again. This is Where does the logic come from?”
Su Yu said, taking out a handkerchief and pressing the corners of his eyes, his eyes immediately turned red.
Niu secretly resented that this little hooves was really quick to talk, but there was no reason why she wouldn't eat the duck that came to her lips. She wanted to send her away with just a few words, not to mention the door and the window.
"Goudan, Da Wa, come here and kowtow to Miss Su and beg her to do well, otherwise you won't have a mother."
When the two seven or eight-year-old children heard their mother's words, they immediately came over and banged Su Yu. Su Yu was frightened and took a step back. Bai Mo stepped forward to block Su Yu.
"What are you doing! I only have two children at home, are you trying to beat them up?"
Niu acted like she was protecting the calf. In the eyes of the onlookers, it was Bai Mo who was bullying others. Although Bai Mo didn't even touch a finger of the two children, in the face of huge interests, the villagers They all favored the Niu family.
"Girl, this slave has long said that what you are doing is not appropriate. Our Dazhou is not the only one with such white stones in Jinjia Village. There are also many other places. Why do you insist on mentioning this to your future uncle? Just say it. It's fine now. You've done a good deed. I didn't expect the villagers to come to force you like this. Okay, isn't it just for money? I'll tell my future uncle now and ask him to give those broken stones that no one wants. Come back and ask the villagers to return the money."
Bai Mo finished speaking and was about to leave angrily. Su Yu stretched out his hand and pulled her twice but didn't stop her.
"Bai Mo, come back here."
The onlookers were confused. Could it be that the fact that the stones in their village were bought by people from the government had something to do with Miss Su in front of them? No, they have to ask clearly about this.
Several women stepped forward and quickly grabbed Bai Mo, who was about to leave angrily.
"Miss Bai, tell us, what is going on?"
Bai Mo snorted in anger.
"Hmph! Don't you know? There are so many stones in other places, why do the government officials just like the ones in Jinjiacun? My girl mentioned it to my future uncle and said that the stones in Jinjiacun are beautiful. I have never seen such white stones before. It happened that the emperor was building a palace in the suburbs. My future uncle proposed to use these stones to pave the road, and several adults agreed. Otherwise, you really think that these shabby buildings that no one wants in the village Stone is a treasure, and one acre can be sold for as much as ten taels of silver."
"Miss Bai Mo, you have said so much, what exactly does your future uncle do?"
A villager couldn't help but asked.
"As you know, this year's new top scorer is from the same village as our girl. They were engaged a few years ago, and they will marry her when she is old enough."
The villagers were all shocked. They didn't expect that the girl Su in front of them was the fiancée of the new top scholar. Why didn't they believe it?
The girl Su in front of me looks good, but that doesn't change the fact that she is a village girl. Shouldn't the number one scholar be matched with the daughter of everyone in the city? How could he marry a village girl?
"What, you don't believe it? Forget it if you don't believe it. I will go to my future uncle and ask him to return all those stones."
"Miss Bai, calm down. Look at this, we didn't say anything. Don't pay attention to this Niu. Everyone in the village knows about her temper. She wants to cause trouble even if she doesn't pay attention."
Several women talked hard and persuaded Bai Mo to stop. Niu, who was kneeling on the ground listening to the sound, did not dare to make trouble now. She was not blind when the villagers looked at her. How could she not see it? If the money that the villagers got was really lost, the villagers would probably eat her alive.
The villagers half believed Bai Mo's words, but there was a saying that was good. It was better to believe it than to believe it. If this was true, would it be possible if Bai Mo left to find someone like this? The money used to buy the stone was taken away, and no one dared to gamble on it.
A farce just ended.
Su Yu and Bai Mo went to the small courtyard they rented. On the way, Su Yu secretly gave Bai Mo a thumbs up.
"Well done."
"Thank you for the compliment, girl."
"Take it, I'll reward you with it."
Bai Mo was even more happy when she saw that it was ten taels of silver.
"Thank you, girl, for the reward."
This incident happened at the entrance of the village. Su Yu and the others had not yet reached the small courtyard they rented. By the time Cao Zhi and others heard the noise and rushed over, the farce at the entrance of the village had just ended. Several people came back together, but when they saw that Su Yu was so generous and gave a reward of ten taels of silver to Miss Bai Mo, they all had an idea in their minds. It seemed that the girl was not stingy. They had never experienced anything like this in the Shilang's Mansion before. Lots of silver rewards.
In fact, Su Yu had discussed this with Bai Mo early in the morning. The government sent people to Jinjiacun to transport the stones. With such a big movement, it was impossible for those in the city not to suspect. The official statement to the outside world was that the emperor fell in love with the stones in Jinjiacun. Emperor Anqing has always been thrifty when he wants to pave the way in the newly built palace. This is the first time he has been emperor for more than 20 years to build a palace. It will take so much effort to transport stones. Most officials don't believe it. But who is Emperor Anqing? Believe it or not, he just wanted to find a reason to pull the stones from Jinjiacun, so that the minions from various countries would not be interested.
With the ready-made reasons in front of him, could Su Yu not use it? That was impossible. In order to deal with today's emergency, she had three or four plans. Just now it was just one of them. Now that the matter has been solved perfectly, I believe that the people in the village will not come to her to make trouble again.
