Chu Nanzhi looked surprised and hurriedly got up and hurried towards the yard.
When she arrived outside the door, she saw Liu Yun with her two treasures and four treasures, holding a toothbrush and a wooden basin and talking to others. The two people admitted to the hospital were members of the Tong'an village who returned to the village after vacation yesterday.
Seeing Chu Nan Zhi's figure, the two of them immediately rushed over and begged with bitter faces: "Sister Zhi, please let us go back."
"What's wrong? What happened again?"
Chu Nanzhi looked at the two of them in confusion.
"Chu Ting, you can't do this to your sister Zhi, she has already been extremely kind and righteous to you."
Liu Yun suppressed the frustration in her heart and patiently persuaded her.
Chu Nanzhi still has some memories of the woman called Chu Ting. Yesterday, she vowed to stay in the restaurant well.
Looking out of the courtyard with wide eyes, Chu Nanzhi saw no one else. Chu Nanzhi first stopped Liu Yun from scolding the two of them any more, and then said gently to Chu Ting and another Tong'an villager.
:
"I said yesterday that if you have any difficulties, you can tell me. And I also said yesterday that if you don't want to stay, you can just get one month's salary and leave. I won't blame you, but since you
You agreed to stay, received three months' salary in advance, and even signed the contract. You are so capricious, even if I can forgive you, I'm afraid the Zhao family will not be able to tolerate it."
After hearing this, Chu Ting and the man next to her were so frightened that they knelt down and begged in tears: "Sister Zhi, it is true that we did something wrong in this matter. Madam Zhang knew that she could not forgive Sister Zhi. She has already done this this morning."
I hanged myself in my own home."
"What, Mrs. Zhang hanged herself?"
Hearing this, Chu Nanzhi turned livid with fright and asked sternly: "What happened? Why did she hang herself? The rent she owed has been paid. Do the Qi family dare to rob her home in broad daylight?"
Isn’t she a good daughter?”
Chu Ting choked and shook her head: "The Qi family refuses to accept money. The Qi family's young man said how many days have passed and the money Sister Zhi gave is not enough to repay the rent. You have to pay interest. One tael of silver a day.
How can we afford the interest? Qi Xiaolang also said that since Sister Zhi can support the people in our village, there is no need to rent his Qi family’s land anymore and he wants to take back all the land."
It's Qi Mochen again.
Chu Nanzhi gritted his teeth in hatred and clenched his fists.
He had only been released for a few days, but he was so unscrupulous that he even forced his beloved to death.
I thought that Mrs. Zhang was still talking and laughing in front of me yesterday. Such a smart, capable and simple villager died like this.
Chu Nanzhi couldn't swallow this breath and shouted angrily at Sangkun and Sangqi: "Copycat, let me see if I don't kill this piece of shit today."
Hearing this, Lin Jinxiao was so shocked that his entire face turned black. He quickly stepped forward to hold her, signaled Sangkun and Sangqi to step back, and comforted her with kind words: "Chu Nanzhi, don't be impulsive."
Chu Nanzhi felt inexplicably uncomfortable and even blamed herself.
If she hadn't been determined to keep Mrs. Zhang yesterday, maybe she wouldn't have been forced to death.
She threw herself into Lin Jinxiao's arms, took a long breath, and tried to hold back the tears that were about to flow out.
She didn't even feel uncomfortable when Chu Wenyu died, but at this moment, she felt extremely unhappy.
Lin Jinxiao patted her arm and whispered in her ear: "If God wants him to die, he must first make him crazy. It is not difficult to kill a Qi Mochen or even destroy the Qi family. If you want to do it, you must destroy the forces behind him."
Pull it out by the roots.”
After hearing Lin Jinxiao's words, Chu Nanzhi suddenly thought of what Chang Lao Nie had told him a while ago.
Indeed, the Qi family is not scary. What makes people fearful is the power behind the Qi family.
At this juncture, the Qi family dared to jump out and go against him. Either this family was deliberately seeking death, or the power behind him was so powerful that he and Lin Jinxiao could not be taken seriously.
Thinking about it carefully, I realized that I was impulsive. Fortunately, I was trying to persuade Lin Jinxiao yesterday.
It can be seen that no matter how sane people are, they will sometimes become confused when they are blinded by hatred.
After calming down, she brushed her eyes, quickly pulled out of Lin Jinxiao's arms, and said calmly to Chu Ting: "You go back first, and tell everyone when you go back that those who are willing to stay can continue to prepare for the opening of the restaurant. If the Qi family
If you dare to cause trouble again, you can ask them to come to me. As for those who don't want to stay, return the money to your account, and I will not pursue the matter of yesterday's contract."
Liu Yun was extremely unhappy and was about to come over to persuade her. Chu Nanzhi waved his hand towards her: "But I'm done with my ugly words. From now on, my Chu family and Zhao family's stores will no longer be able to use you."
As soon as she finished speaking, the little girl next to Chu Ting crawled forward and begged her in tears: "Sister Zhi, I want to stay. I don't want to go back to the village. If I go back to the village, my father and mother will definitely
I was asked to be taken away by the Qi family, I don’t want to go to a brothel.”
Chu Ting also wanted to stay in the restaurant. She also wanted to save more dowry money earlier: "Sister Zhi, I am also willing to follow you, but the Qi family will go to the village to ask for someone at noon. If we can't pay back
To pay rent, he would have to force Yazi to take everyone to a brothel."
"It doesn't make sense."
Lin Jinxiao cursed loudly, feeling extremely puzzled.
The county government did not receive a briefing on the disaster situation in surrounding villages and towns such as Tong'an Village and Anlin Village.
Moreover, several villages near the county seat have irrigation canals. When his father was in office, the Lanjiang River and the Donghua River were connected. Even if there was no rain for a year, many fields could be irrigated, and this would not happen.
Many families cannot pay their taxes.
Besides, when he took office, he stipulated that no more taxes would be levied this year.
Why is it that now that the tenancy rent has been reduced, it has made it even more difficult for the people?
This really makes no sense.
He ordered the personal guards stationed at the mansion to appoint fifty guards, and said to Chu Nanzhi: "Let's go to the village and have a look."
Chu Nanzhi also had this intention, and ordered Sang Kun to take the little girl who was willing to stay to handle the matters of Qinghefang, Jushengfang restaurant and house construction.
Thinking that the business would be open soon, the only plan for now was to ask Butler Zhao to select some servants from the Zhao family to come over as a back-up, just in case something unexpected happened.
Then he went back to the house to put away his makeup, took Sang Qi and followed Lin Jinxiao out the door.
Lin Jinxiao rode in front with the sergeants, and Chu Nanzhi, Sang Qi, and Chu Ting got into the carriage and followed behind.
Thinking of the Qi family's renting matter, Chu Nanzhi looked at Chu Ting and asked with concern: "Did all the money you received yesterday go to the Qi family?"
Chu Ting shook her head in dismay: "In previous years, the gentry in each village would accept the rent, whether it was silver or rice, but this year they only wanted grain. If it was money, they would not accept it. Changed.
It has to be the same as the Liangdao Yamen in the county."
"Isn't this annoying?"
Chu Nanzhi curled her lips angrily: "Why are these wealthy gentry hoarding so much food?"
Could it be that he is planning to stock up more and wait until there is a food shortage to sell it at a high price?
Chu Nanzhi immediately had a bad feeling in her heart.
No wonder these shady guys are willing to give in.
From the looks of it, they weren't holding anything back.
