Chapter 389 Renting land again and meeting an acquaintance

The village chief looked at the back of Yang Laosan's hand, then at Zhou Chunsheng, and growled angrily: "Zhou Chunsheng, how do you want to explain?"

Bai Ruozhu threw the lotus root joint in his hand to Yang Laosan and said, "This is for you."

Yang Laosan was not polite to her. He took the lotus root joint and rubbed it on his hand. It seemed to be quite itchy.

Zhou Chunsheng was so frightened when the village chief yelled that his quilt fell to the ground. The Zhou family's wife also started to cry softly in fear.

"Speak? You must tell me the truth, otherwise I won't be able to stop them from arresting you and taking you to the Yamen!" The village chief yelled through gritted teeth, as if he hated iron.

Zhou Chunsheng didn't dare to lie down on the cart anymore. He sat up crookedly and said with a sad face: "Village Chief, can't you do it if I explain everything? I can't help it." After saying that, he held his head. started crying.

If she didn't know what the Zhou family had done, Bai Ruozhu would definitely sympathize with them, but now that she saw the Zhou family's behavior, it felt so fake and disgusting.

Zhou Chunsheng didn't dare to play any more tricks and explained everything clearly.

His family spent a lot of money on his mother's medical treatment, and the land was sold out, so they rented the Bai family's land for farming. The Bai family's Erlang was easy to talk to, and the rent given to them was very reasonable. As a result, within two days, the Liu family in the village was also leasing land. Zhou Chunsheng was anxious to make money, so he went to rent the Liu family's land as well.

It's like having big eyes but a small belly. He was very ambitious when he rented the property, but it turned out that the Zhou family's manpower was completely insufficient. Later, he was asked to do odd jobs and made a lot of money, leaving him with no time to manage the land.

At this time, Yang Laosan somehow knew about the Bai family's field, so he went to the field to make some mischief, and indeed said something to scare the Zhou family. Zhou Chunsheng thought about it, and thought about telling the Bai family otherwise He said that his family stopped planting this land, lest he could not take care of both ends, and the harvest would not be good in the end, and he would suffer a loss.

As a result, Yang Laosan made a fuss, but then nothing happened again. Zhou Chunsheng even deliberately went around the Yang family to attract Yang Laosan's attention. However, Yang Laosan married a young daughter-in-law and was too lazy to argue with the Bai family.

The Zhou family became worried and finally discussed it. They simply went to the town to cry to the Bai family and try to be as serious as possible. If the Bai family softened their hearts, they would definitely be able to cancel the contract. Even if it really didn't work, they could use this to let the Bai family Charge less rent.

So what happened next happened. First, Bai Yihong was easy to talk to, which gave the Zhou family hope. Later, the Zhou family destroyed some crops themselves so that they could continue to pretend to be pitiful. In the end, the contract with the Bai family was terminated and they received a lot of compensation.

Of course, these were not enough. The Zhou family was greedy after all. They felt that the crops in the Bai family's field were grown by them. It was a pity to leave like this. So in the middle of the night, they secretly picked out areas with dense plants and moved some to the Liu family where they rented crops. In the field, Bai Ruozhu didn't expect Bai Ruozhu to have done anything in the field in advance...

After hearing everything, the head of Linjiang Village angrily raised his hand and gave Zhou Chunsheng a slap in the face, "We in Linjiang Village have lost all face by you! The village is full of kind people, and you are also honest, how could you do this?" This kind of thing is coming?”

Yang Laosan snorted coldly from the side, "You are so brave if you dare to frame me. I, Yang Laosan, will never finish with you."

Bai Ruozhu glanced at her father. Bai Yihong understood and saluted the village chief and said, "Village Chief, the Zhou family broke their promise first and defrauded my family of compensation and destroyed the crops in the fields. They have to exchange the compensation from my family. We have to compensate for our losses. In addition, we still want to rent out the land or hire someone to help with planting. I hope the village chief can recommend a trustworthy and good family."

The village chief kicked Zhou Chunsheng with his foot. He was really angry.

"Repay the compensation given to you by the Bai family, and you can compensate me another two taels of silver."

Before the village chief finished speaking, the Zhou family's daughter-in-law began to cry. While crying, she said, "My family is so poor that we have no rice to eat. Where can we get two taels of silver?"

The village chief glared at him, "I'll help you to intercede, otherwise two taels of silver won't be enough. If you don't pay, it's fine. Then I'll pay half of the output of the Liu family's land to the Bai family."

"Half?" Zhou Chunsheng almost jumped up, his family would be in serious trouble.

"Don't you make money by doing odd jobs for others? Just pay the compensation if you have to. Remember better in the future and don't do such shameful things." The village chief said again.

Both Zhou Chunsheng's shoulders slumped. It can be said that he stole the chicken but lost a handful of rice, but who said he was greedy?

In the end, Zhou Chunsheng honestly handed over two taels of silver and returned the compensation given by the Bai family. He didn't dare to offend the village chief. His family was poor. If even the village chief didn't like him, it would be really bad. There is no way to survive.

Zhou Chunsheng saw Bai Yihong put away the money, then looked at him eagerly and said, "What should I do about my allergies? Can you give me some lotus root?"

Bai Ruozhu sneered and said, "It's just a piece of lotus root joint. I've given it to Yang Laosan, but you don't have to be afraid. The allergy will be cured in six or seven days."

Zhou Chunsheng was so depressed that he almost cried, but he didn't have the courage to ask Yang Laosan for lotus root knots. In the end, he had to endure the pain and itching all over his body and went back to the house to lie down.

After dealing with Zhou Chunsheng, the village chief introduced the Li family, an honest family with many boys, to the Bai Ruozhu family. After hearing the situation, the Li family immediately said, "We rent this land and promise to farm it well for you. We are near the river." The village’s reputation cannot be ruined like this.”

Bai Yihong liked the cheerfulness of the old man of the Li family very much, so the two of them walked around the field and discussed how to decide the rent. Seeing that the two families could talk together, the village chief simply took his leave. He was very tired after working all morning.

Bai Ruozhu thanked the village chief properly, then said hello to her father, and wandered around the field casually.

After a while, Bai Yihong and the old man of the Li family agreed on the rent. The two families said they would find a middleman to sign the lease, so the old man of the Li family recommended a middleman named Deng Shujie.

Bai Ruozhu and Bai Yihong followed the old man of the Li family to find Deng Shujie. When they arrived at the Deng family, Deng Shujie came out to greet them politely, and Old Man Li directly explained his purpose.

When Deng Shujie saw some business coming to his door, he said happily: "Thank you, Uncle Li, for taking care of me. Let's not stand around talking and invite people in the house. My mother-in-law just happened to be here today, and it happened to be lively."

The villagers do not pay attention to avoidance of relatives when they visit, but prefer to join in the fun, especially when they come to sign the lease in front of their mother-in-law, which is also to give face to Deng Shujie, the middleman.

So a group of people entered the house in a lively manner. Deng Shujie asked his wife to greet everyone, and then he ran back into the house and took out pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

Bai Ruozhu followed Old Man Li into the house and was stunned when she saw the people in Deng Shujie's house...
