At the beginning, Chen Dacai would not believe that there were so many people behind him that there could not be none to save him.
But slowly will begin to doubt, this kind of both hope and seems to be full of despair of two feelings, will keep pulling him, let his spirit suffer.
The county magistrate also deliberately locked him up in a cell full of vicious criminals. Those criminals hate most, people like Chen Dacai, are absolutely in the front row. Chen Dacai is locked up with them, and he has suffered a lot.
The villagers in Fenghe village don't know about it yet. They are still waiting for Lu Xiaohua, the owner of chendi village, to come back early in the morning. They are not only looking forward to her bringing good news, but also worried about whether she will be bullied.
With all kinds of anxiety, Lu Xiaohua came back in the afternoon, which really brought us good news.
She successfully bought the land that belonged to Fenghe village in her hands. She happily told the villagers that in the future, the money for land leasing will be 10% less than before, and only 20% of the annual harvest will be given to her.
It's much better than usual.
In the past, after deducting the rent of the land, 40% of the harvest was given to the landlords, and the tax paid was nearly 20% (those who have a reputation will reduce the tax according to their reputation), and 40% was left in their own family. After deducting the funds, there was almost no surplus.
So those who have their own fields are really rich in the village, but Fenghe village, which was not a very rich village, at least half of the families live by renting fields.
Now the land rent is less, and the harvest to the landlords is also less than 20%, so that they can get a little more.
Originally, everyone thought that it would be nice for Lu Xiaohua to help them get their land back, so that they could grow land and have a bite to eat. I didn't expect that Lu Xiaohua would treat them so leniently.
While everyone is happy, some people are not satisfied.
"They are all from the same village, and it has something to do with you that everyone has no land to grow. Why do you want to collect land rent? If you buy the land, you just want to squeeze everyone to work for you in disguise?"
Lu Xiaohua looked at the speaker and recognized that the man had a certain relationship with Zhao Zhoushi, but she didn't say anything or explain. She just bit her lower lip and looked aggrieved. Many villagers spoke for her.
"Si WA, you're not right. If you don't talk about it first, it's the result of the dog's egg. We Xiaohua are innocent. Just say that she's going to get the land back for us. Can the landlord give it to her? It must have cost a lot of money, and I don't know how many commissions we've received before we bought it. We still need white land for her. Is this going to be cut off by heaven? "
"That's it. I can't do that."
"The honest peasants of my family can't get the land of the white people."
The thread that Lu Xiaohua had buried before played a role at this time. Of course, on the other hand, it is because many villagers have been honest in farming and living a down-to-earth life. If you buy and give them land, they may not dare to ask for it.
As soon as the man opened his mouth, he was drowned in everyone's saliva.
However, they didn't spend much energy on him. They all gathered around Lu Xiaohua and wanted to rent land as soon as possible. They even thought that since the rent was cheaper, they could rent more land to grow.
Lu Xiaohua said to everyone: "it's not convenient here. Let me go back and sort out the land I have and draw a general land distribution map. Tomorrow, you can see for yourself which land you planted before can be rented back. After all, there are still vegetables and rice seedlings planted in front of you, so that there will be less disputes, and then we can see what's available You want to rent the land. Is that ok? It's also convenient to register. It's really... "
everyone nodded one after another. Many people are anxious to buy it. One is that they are afraid of being late and changing their mind. The other is that they are afraid that the land they were responsible for will be bought by others first. It's a pity that they planted it earlier.
Now Lu Xiaohua promises to rent back the original land. He puts down half of his heart and looks at this place again. It's not suitable for trading, so he agrees to go to Lu Xiaohua tomorrow. Now Lu Xiaohua's reputation is higher in everyone's heart, and everyone is willing to believe her.
Lu Xiaohua once again bid farewell to the villagers and went back to their homes. This time, it was different from yesterday. Everyone was smiling.
Except for a few people, no one cares about them.
As soon as Lu Xiaohua returned to her lujiazhuang, she was besieged by Wu aunt Wu and Hu Qiong.
"What's the matter? Did the landlord really sell the land to you? How could it be? "
The villagers are more worried about what price Lu Xiaohua has paid for it than they are happy to know that they have land.
Lu Xiaohua said humbly, "I'm so cute. As soon as the landlord saw me, he felt like his unborn little sister. When he was happy, he sold me the land."
"Don't be so poor," aunt Wu slapped her. "Tell the truth, what's the matter?"
"Oh, in fact, it's nothing. Chen Dacai, he was arrested."
"Be, be caught?" Aunt Wu didn't respond to the meaning of this.
Lu Xiaohua nodded: "yes, he was put in prison this morning and asked to be beheaded at the beginning of spring. The landlord knows that Chen Dacai is finished, so he will not fight against us for him any more. In order to compensate, he agrees to sell the land to me."When she said that, she began to laugh, showing her pride.
"Really?" The happiest is Hu Qiong, "this master Chen, who is really arrested, still needs to be beheaded? Does it mean that he, he can no longer...
"yes," Lu Xiaohua patted Hu Qiong's little face, "he can no longer miss you."
Hu Qiong's eyes immediately turned red, too excited to speak.
Even if Lu Xiaohua helps her to break off the relationship with her uncle, Hu Qiong can't really feel at ease. Master Chen seems to have a great influence. Even if he doesn't have an uncle, he can forcibly take her away if he wants her, right?
She was always in a panic, but sister Lu helped her too much. She didn't want to trouble her any more, and she didn't want to fight that bully for her sake, so she never said anything.
Until now, when she heard the news, she dared and couldn't help showing her suffering and pain these days.
"It's OK. It's OK." Lu Xiaohua took Hu Qiong over and let her lean on her shoulder. "It's good to cry. After crying, we'll start all over again. The dark clouds over our head have dispersed, and the rainbow will come out immediately."
Hu Qiong, lying on Lu Xiaohua's shoulder, really cried and let out all the negative emotions.
When she finished crying and venting, and her brain came to her senses, she felt embarrassed. She came out of Lu Xiaohua's arms and looked at her sister Lu and her two aunts. She was very embarrassed and laughed.
