Li Youdi turned around and saw that Mo Ziwan had walked in, and replied: "What else could it be? You are crazy about money! Go to the Yamen and tell the county magistrate that they have cut a basket of weeds in your field, and then I asked them to pay them two taels of silver for this basketful of weeds. They thought the two taels of silver were too much and said that your grandma had extorted money from them. They probably thought that after suing your grandma, they could pay them some money."
These were naturally what I heard when talking to Yang Maozi and Fan Liu.
After saying that, he continued with contempt, "Fan Dali and her troublemaker thought they were so smart. How could their little cleverness escape the eyes of our Master Wei? Master Wei heard what they said in just a few words. That’s what I wanted, so I sent Mr. Chai to investigate. Mr. Chai said that he will definitely not wrong anyone, and he will not let anyone do evil things.”
Mo Ziyuan was so disgusted by the Fan family's outrageous behavior that the couple really didn't want to lose face.
Fortunately, Mr. Wei is a good official, but he still had to find some way out of his bad temper, so he and his godfather had the same idea, "After the case they sue us is concluded, we will also sue them. When Grandpa arrives, Return the money they gave us as compensation, and we will accuse them of stealing. The value of the stolen money is calculated based on the grass knotted by the milkweed she cut. They cut several acres of land secretly, and they still got more than two taels of silver."
"Look at what you have to worry about. Your godfather has made arrangements for you. Go and read your book and leave your family alone." Song Nanzhi said angrily.
As soon as Song Nanzhi said this, everyone couldn't help but laugh. Li Youyou praised: "If you want to say that Wanwan is smart, she came up with the same ideas as Mr. Han. I didn't expect that. As soon as I heard When Mr. Chai said they were going to complain to the Yamen, I became nervous and couldn’t think of anything other than scolding them for not being human beings.”
"What are you talking about!" Li Youshu took over, "When I heard them saying they were officials from the Yamen, I was so frightened that I didn't know what to do. I was thinking that I haven't even been to the county recently. , I haven’t done anything bad, what are they doing to me?”
Li Youcai had the same idea as Li Youshu, but they were still not as frightened as Li Yougui and Feng Shi. When Feng Shi saw the two of them saying that they were yamen servants, she was so frightened that she knelt on the ground and admitted that she had stolen Yunying from the Mo family. As soon as the grass came, Feng knelt down, and Li Yougui also knelt on the ground.
The two government officials didn't expect that they would explain the matter clearly before they even asked.
When Li Yougui said that he was so scared that he knelt on the ground, everyone burst into laughter.
After joking for a while, everyone went home. When only his family was left in the house, Mo Tingyu said: "Wanwan, you said you have the money given by your uncle's family, do we have to refund it too?" Give it to him! If this is fertile land, sooner or later the milkweed in the field will be cut to feed the pigs. Now I want you to have Uncle Gui’s two taels of silver. Isn’t this inappropriate?"
Mo Ziyuan disagreed and said, "Grandpa, although we said at the beginning we would plant milkweed fertile land, we also said we would collect the grass seeds and sell them for money after planting. If it was just fertile land, why would Brother Qingyuan be running into the land every day? "
Mo Tingyu also said that he wanted to sell the seeds for money after planting them!
Seeing that her grandfather did not speak, Mo Ziyuan continued, "There are also people from the Fan family who are now suing us for blackmailing their money because they think our milkweed is not valuable. If we only plant it to fertilize the land, it will only be a handful of wild grass and a basket of wild vegetables." It’s really not worth two taels of silver.”
"So grandpa and grandma should stop talking about planting fertile land. If you do, we may become blackmailed."
The two of them were frightened by Mo Ziyuan's words and quickly agreed: "Okay, okay, let's not talk about the fertile land."
Murong Qingyuan only found out about the Fan family's complaint after returning from the Han family. After learning about it, his face suddenly darkened, and he immediately found an excuse and said: "Grandpa, I want to ask Uncle Huang Rui to see if it is convenient for him to help us. Take care of the medicinal materials in the fields, lest we go out again and someone goes to the fields to cause trouble."
"Don't worry now. It's not too late to tell him when it's replanted. Then come back and take a rest first."
"I'm not tired. I'd better go ahead and tell him to make preparations so that we don't have to go out again in a few days. Uncle Qiao and the others have to take care of the crops and repairs in the house. Their mother must be busy. No
Come here, it just so happens that Uncle Huang and the others will go to the fields to help us take a look. "
After listening to Murong Qingyuan's long list, Mo Tingyu said nothing, "It's not good for you to go alone. I'll go with you."
Murong Qingyuan quickly stopped him, "I'll go and talk first. If he's free, grandpa will talk to me then. Grandpa will rest in the house for a while." After that, he ran out of the house.
When they came to Huang Rui and Li Hu's house, the two families lived together. If they stood in the yard and called anyone casually, both families could hear clearly.
"Uncle Huang!" "Uncle Li!" Since we are giving instructions to two people, it would be better if both of them are present.
If Huang Rui and Li Hu went out every day, only one of them would go out, and the other would definitely stay in the village. But at this moment, both of them were at home. After hearing Murong Qingyuan's voice, Huang Rui's voice came out, "Who is it?"
"I, Murong Qingyuan, Uncle Huang, I want to ask you for help." Murong Qingyuan said while standing under the eaves.
Huang Rui walked out and looked at Murong Qingyuan in front of the door, "What's going on?"
At this time, Li Hu also came out and joked: "Qingyuan boy, why do you need his help? Don't ask him to help you study, right?"
Li Hu thought his joke was quite funny, but Murong Qingyuan just moved the corners of his mouth politely and said politely: "Uncle Li was joking."
Li Hu saw his twitching lips and said to himself: He is becoming more and more calm!
If Murong Qingyuan knew that he praised himself like this, he might laugh at him directly. This joke is not funny at all.
Huang Rui glared at Li Hu, "If you don't speak, no one will treat you as a mute." Then he turned to Murong Qingyuan and said, "What are you talking about? Those who can help will definitely help you."
"Yes, I definitely can. Uncle Huang and Uncle Li can definitely help with this."
Huang Rui saw that Murong Qingyuan was speaking so categorically, but he still said, "Tell me what happened first and listen."
When Li Hu saw the two of them, he said something to you or me, and rolled his eyes in his heart. They are all good at acting.
However, he had to act in this drama himself. After he straightened his mind, he stopped joking and followed Huang Rui's words and said, "Yes, you'd better explain everything clearly to us first."
"I just want to ask Uncle Huang and Uncle Li to help me take care of the medicinal materials grown in the fields." Murong Qingyuan said directly.
"We don't know how to grow medicinal herbs."
"It doesn't matter if you two uncles don't know each other. You just need to follow my method to help me check how the medicine in the field is growing, and then you can make a note of it for me when you come back."
"Remember what?" Huang Rui asked in confusion.
"It's about the growth of medicinal materials in the field. Write down whatever you see. For example, an extra leaf has grown, or a bud has bloomed, etc. Even if there is no change, just write it down as it was the previous few days. Write it down exactly the same. Either way."
"It sounds simple." Huang Rui said after listening.
"It's simple in the first place." Murong Qingyuan affirmed.
"We can try it first. If you feel satisfied, we can help you take care of it." After Huang Rui finished speaking, he added: "Come into the room and let's sit down and talk slowly. Please tell us more and be more detailed. , lest we don’t know how to take care of them when the time comes.”
In this way, Murong Qingyuan followed the two of them into the house. After entering the house, Li Hu took the initiative to stand at the door and watch what was going on outside.
After entering the house, Murong Qingyuan immediately changed the subject, "Fan Dali and his wife went to the Yamen this morning to sue their grandparents for embezzling their money..."
Before Murong Qingyuan finished speaking, Huang Rui asked Murong Qingyuan in shock, "What?"
Then he asked: "Didn't they steal the milkweed in your field? Why did they sue the two elders of the Mo family?"
The person who stole things went to the Yamen to complain? Why is this so strange? What to sue for? Sue yourself for stealing someone else's things?
Not only Huang Rui couldn't understand what the Fan family meant, but Li Hu also curiously listened to the conversation between the two people in the room.
Next, Murong Qingyuan simply told the story of the Fan family going to the Yamen to sue the Mo family, so that the two of them could understand the cause of the matter.
Coming to the main purpose of coming today, "Go and bring it back to your uncle and tell him that he must be severely punished this time. This family is not a good person."
Not only did they make trouble again and again, but they kept saying bad things about Wan Wan, which was really annoying. This time, I just used the complaint to clean them up, so that they would not dare to have other thoughts in the future. "
Huang Rui: "I'll be there in a minute. Don't worry, I will definitely give you a good explanation. I won't let the Mo family suffer in vain."
After the agreement was made, Murong Qingyuan prepared to go home. Before leaving, he did not forget to talk about growing medicinal materials. "Remember to help grow medicines. If Grandpa asks, just say you have time."
Huang Rui: "I know how to say it, so don't worry." He didn't forget to show his loyalty and said, "I will definitely learn how to plant medicine."
"Yeah!" Then Murong Qingyuan walked out of the house.
After Murong Qingyuan left, Li Hu said, "Are we really going to follow him to plant medicine in the future?"
"What are we going to do if we don't grow medicines? We have nothing else to do in the village. Planting medicines with the young master is just right. Not only can we follow the young master openly in the future, but if we help the young master grow the medicinal materials, the young master will also be able to make more medicines in the future. An income."
Li Hu chuckled and said, "That's right. It's better that you are thoughtful. From now on, we will follow the master to plant medicine."
"In addition to saying yes, you can't think more about it!" Huang Rui was speechless. It was really a waste of his brain.
No, not only did I gain a brain in vain, but I also ate so much food in vain!
"Didn't I not think of this for a moment?" Li Hu chuckled again.
"Are you prepared for the moment or for the rest of your life?" Huang Rui continued to laugh.
