"No, Auntie, my wife and I have to go back to the village, so I won't bother you." Lian Guanlang waved his hand and refused, and after finishing moving things, he took Lu Ziyuan back to the oxcart.
"Fourth uncle, fourth aunt, walk slowly." The two sisters said goodbye to the two people on the bullock cart.
Lu Ziyuan smiled and waved her hand, then lowered the car curtain, and Lian Guanlang asked Da Zhuang to drive the car.
The oxcart was swaying along the country road. It had not rained for a long time, and the wheels were still kicking up a lot of dust when they rolled by. People on the roadside were hiding away and pinching their noses.
Even the third sister at home has returned. Lu Ziyuan thought that her and Lian Guanlang's home had truly returned to the tranquility it had been when they first got married. Home was their world.
The sound of wheels, the chorus of frogs croaking on the roadside, and the chirping of birds and insects on the branches. Under the scorching sun, some of the land has already shown signs of cracks, but there are still people wiping sweat from afar.
The river carries water little by little to irrigate the dry fields.
It's just that this calmness is just Lu Ziwan's self-righteousness. She never thought that yesterday's momentary kindness would make her despair of the humanity of this world.
After leaving Lianjia Village, Lu Ziyuan and Lian Guanlang went directly back to the village. When they arrived home, they saw a gray-faced man squatting in front of their house. After a closer look, they recognized that it was the man who rented their land this year.
"Back!" Hearing the voice, the big man squatting at the door quickly stood up.
"Uncle, why did you come to my house?" Lu Ziyuan jumped off the oxcart and asked hurriedly.
"Hey, Guan Lang's wife, this is not the day yet. Last year, the weather was good, and everyone's fields were full of harvests. Unexpectedly, this year there is a drought. It has not rained for such a long time. There are no wheat seedlings in the fields. My home is far away from the river.
The ground in the distance is dry and cracked, and the wheat seedlings are dead." The uncle looked a little heavy, and after thinking for a moment, he added, "Guan Lang, look, the weather has been like this this year. Our family rents the land from your house.
Can we wait until next year to give you the rented grain? Our family now depends on your land. However, the wheat seedlings in other fields are dead and cannot survive, but the rent will not be reduced even if it is 10%."
Lu Ziyuan nodded. She understood what the uncle meant. The big landlord's family relied on the rent. Now that everything is expensive, they naturally refused to rent less. Anyway, the big landlord did not care about the tenants' lives when collecting rent, and the uncle was and
Lu Ziwan was from the same village, so the uncle asked Lu Ziwan to come here. When renting the land, it was Lu Ziwan who signed the contract.
Although Lu Ziwan hadn't spoken yet, when he saw Lu Ziwan nodding her head without any anger, the uncle knew that Lu Ziwan agreed.
Lu Ziyuan thought for a moment and then said, "Uncle, I also know your difficulties. The rent of our land is not much, so you just..."
Before Lu Ziwan could speak, she was suddenly interrupted.
Looking back, Lu Ziyuan saw several official officials, two or three of whom were relatively familiar, having met them last year.
"Miss Lu, long time no see." Someone who was familiar with Lu Ziwan took the initiative to greet Lu Ziwan, and then said hesitantly, "Miss Lu, someone went to the county government to report the case, saying that you prescribed the wrong medicine and poisoned someone.
The master has ordered us to take you back for questioning. Sorry, Miss Lu, we have to ask you to come with us."
Lu Ziyuan was shocked, "Prescribe the wrong medicine and poison people to death? Are you kidding me?"
"Brothers, could you have made a mistake? How could my wife prescribe the wrong medicine?" Lian Guanlang quickly protected Lu Ziwan behind him.
"Miss Lu, I'm not very clear about this matter at the moment. Not long ago, an aunt went to the Yamen to report the case, saying that her son took the medicine you got from you yesterday and died of poison. The master is acting impartially. Let us first
I’ll take you back for questioning.”
Lu Ziwan nodded, but looked a little impatient at the other government officials he had never met before, so she turned back to Lian Guan Lang and said, "Brother Guan Lang, I will go to the county government office with them. You wait for me at home.
Mom will probably be worried if she finds out, please help me comfort mom, don’t worry, I’ll be fine.”
