Not only Qi Yun'er was very happy because she got a good gift, but the two ladies of the Zhou family also happily received their gifts. Zhou Yufen's was a pair of Dongzhu earrings, while Zhou Yuru's was a pair of white jade earrings.
None of them are cheap. This also made the Zhou family look at Lin Zhu in a different light. There were more than ten girls attending the banquet. If each of them got such a gift, it must have cost a lot of money. Mrs. Zhou
I don’t think I would be so generous.
The Wang family and Wang Zifang were also chatting with Mrs. Wang about Lin Zhu. On the contrary to Mrs. Qi, Mrs. Wang actually asked Wang Zifang to help Lin Zhu as much as possible when he had the opportunity.
"Madam, why is this?" Wang Zifang asked puzzledly.
"Ms. Lin, you have managed the family so well at such a young age. There must be something valuable that is unknown to others." Mrs. Wang said softly, and called her youngest son over. "God bless, I will give you the gift from my brother Fu Dou'er today."
Take out the gift and show it to your father."
"Mom, that's mine, don't give it to dad." Wang Tianyou tightly protected his chest.
"Okay, I won't give it to your father, just let him see it." Mrs. Wang was a little dumbfounded by her youngest son's stingy appearance.
"Why don't you give me something good for dad?" Wang Zifang became curious at this time.
"Let's see." Wang Tianyou took out a jade plaque from the clothes on his chest and tied it around his neck with a red rope. He didn't want to take it off, so he had to let them see it like this. "This was given to me by brother Fu Dou'er."
Wang Tianyou said happily, "Mom, please help me pick something for me later. I will also give it to my brother."
"Okay." Mrs. Wang smiled and nodded. She was also very happy that her son could have a friend of the same age, especially since the two of them could get along.
"Nice jade plaque." Wang Zifang held the jade plaque and looked at it in front of his son for a while before saying.
"Mom, I want to wear this all the time. Brother Fu Dou'er has been wearing one since he was a child, and I want to be like him." If Lin Zhu heard Wang Tianyou say this, he would definitely be surprised. The piece on Fu Dou'er's neck
Jade plaques are usually not shown to others. Unexpectedly, they were shown to Wang Tianyou the first time they met.
"Okay, okay. If you wear it, no one will snatch it from you." Mrs. Wang touched his head funnyly. As soon as she finished speaking, a voice came from behind, "What are you robbing? Do you have my share?"
?”
"No." Wang Tianyou quickly stuffed the jade token into his clothes and protected it tightly with his hands. He stared at his brother who had just entered the room.
"Hey, what good things are you hiding?" Wang Tianzuo walked up to Wang Tianyou.
"I won't show you." Wang Tianyou quickly hid behind Mrs. Wang.
"Today your brother got a plaque. He liked it so much that he told him to wear it all the time and not let anyone touch it." Mrs. Wang explained to her eldest son.
"I see." Wang Tianzuo was more than ten years older than his brother after all, so he stopped teasing him. "Mom, it seems that you gained a lot from attending the banquet today."
Except for Mrs. Qi, most of the neighbors around Lin Zhu had the same fondness for Lin Zhu as Mrs. Wang. Although Lin Zhu had no father or mother, he was generous and well-adjusted, so they did not stop their daughters from dating Lin Zhu.
Make good friends.
After Lin Zhu held the banquet, she didn't take the neighbors' reactions to heart. She was worried about another thing.
Ever since he learned about Fu Dou'er's life experience, Lin Zhu wanted to leave the capital and live in Xiaolin Village, but the house in Xiaolin Village had not been built yet. So he had to send Butler Feng and Manager Song to handle the matter.
People from Yue Commercial Bank help. But there must always be someone who shows concern.
Because of Lin Zhu's upcoming arrival, Xiaolin Village caused some disturbances, which Lin Zhu did not expect. After Feng Yuanbo arrived at Xiaolin Village and revealed his identity, he soon learned the cause of the disturbance.
There are 1,560 households in Xiaolinzhuang, with a population of 500 or 600. It can be said that the village is very small, but the land is not enough for planting, and the yield is low, so most of the villagers farm on sharecrops.
The field Lin Zhu bought was the field that the people of Xiaolinzhuang had been renting every year.
After the villagers of Xiaolinzhuang learned that the farm had been sold, they approached Manager Fang, who was in charge of building Linzhu's house at the time, and asked him if they could continue to lease the land.
Manager Fang was dissatisfied with Shopkeeper Du at the time, so of course he would not tell the truth to the villagers. On the contrary, he exaggerated, saying that the land had other uses and would no longer be rented out.
It didn't matter that he lied. The people in Xiaolin Village were excited. They tried many times to talk to the owner who bought the land. Originally, he wanted to beg for mercy and let them rent it again, but Manager Fang pretended to say in Xiaolin Village that he could
He interceded for them and received a lot of benefits from the villagers.
The villagers who thought they would get what they wanted were angry after learning the news that Manager Fang had been fired. Village chief Lin Youcai came to the door many times to ask for an explanation, but the people who worked there did not even meet their boss.
But how could I possibly reply to them? So I was dragging my feet back and forth. The conflict intensified.
When Feng Yuanbo arrived, he happened to see the angry villagers knocking down the previous shabby house.
He walked over quickly.
"Stop, what are you doing?" he shouted to the crowd.
"Who are you?" Some angry young men stood in front of Feng Yuanbo and asked angrily.
"I am the housekeeper of this house. Who among you can make the decision? Can you tell me what's going on?" Feng Yuanbo faced the angry crowd and did not get angry. Instead, he looked at them calmly.
The young men who rushed forward saw that he was polite and had an inviolable aura standing there. Although they were unarmed, they did not dare to go forward and do anything to Feng Yuanbo. After looking at each other, they
A person was sent to find the village chief. "Just wait, our village chief will be here soon." One of the young men said in a rough voice.
Manager Song followed Feng Yuanbo and was petrified by the situation in front of him. He didn't expect that this place would be dangerous, so he hid shamelessly. It wasn't until Feng Yuanbo stabilized the situation that he dared to poke his head out. "
Butler Feng, are you okay?"
Feng Yuanbo glanced at him and said nothing, just as the young man who reported the news came over with an old man.
"Hello, old man, I am the housekeeper of this house. I wonder what is going on?" Feng Yuanbo cupped his hands and asked the old man.
"The old man is the village chief of Xiaolinzhuang," the old man breathed, "The boys are too impulsive, please forgive me, the housekeeper." Although the words were polite, the tone was different.
"Village Chief Lin, can you tell me why they did this?" Although Feng Yuanbo was unhappy in his heart, he didn't show it on his face. He always wanted to know the whole story before making a decision.
So Lin Youcai told Feng Yuanbo everything that Manager Fang had lied to them about.
Feng Yuanbo had a black line on his head, thinking that Mu Yue Trading Company would also be unreliable one day. But it was still important to appease the villagers, otherwise it would also be a hidden danger.
"Village Chief Lin, my girl doesn't know anything about this. Can I let the villagers share the land again? I'll see how the girl plans to reply to you after I report it." After thinking for a while, Feng Yuanbo said to the village chief of Xiaolinzhuang.
.
"No, don't leave until you give me an answer." Someone in the crowd shouted. The crowd that had calmed down a little became noisy again.
After Lin Youcai waved his hand to the crowd, he looked at Feng Yuanbo, "Steward Feng, the boys did stupid things because they were deceived by Steward Fang. Also, even if they don't push for your house,
It cannot be inhabited by humans."
Feng Yuanbo was a little confused about Lin Youcai's words. He followed him to the place where he was pushed down, and then he suddenly realized. He had heard from people in the capital that the construction of Muyue Trading Company was not good, but he did not expect it to be so serious. Not only the hospital
The walls, even the walls of the rooms inside, are vulnerable, and large cracks have appeared in some places.
"Thank you, Village Chief Lin, for reminding me." Feng Yuanbo was angry, but he couldn't tell the people in Xiaolinzhuang, "I have something to ask Village Chief Lin. Do everyone here want to share the land?"
"Steward Feng, let me tell you this, more than 150 households in Xiaolinzhuang are sharing their land with you. If you don't let them share their land, many families may not be able to eat." Lin Youcai said helplessly.
.
Feng Yuanbo thought for a while and then looked at the surrounding villagers. Everyone's eyes were shining with desire. Looking at their clothes, although they were not naked, there were still few that were not patched.
. This place is so close to the capital, how could it be like this?
As if he saw Feng Yuanbo's doubts, Lin Youcai sighed and said, "To tell you the truth, originally Xiaolinzhuang would not have grown to this level, but last year the whole village was deceived into planting fake grain seeds.
That's why we ended up in this situation." Lin Youcai was a little downcast. "The most annoying thing is that the person can't be found at all, and reporting to the official is useless."
After listening to Lin Youcai's words, Feng Yuanbo sympathized with them, but was a little dissatisfied with their actions. However, the matter has reached this point, and it is useless to say more. It does not look like they can afford to pay compensation.
If you force them with these words, things may get worse.
Lu Mingtao thought that Lin Zhu would stay in the capital for a while, and the business firm had some urgent matters that needed to be handled by shopkeeper Du, so the house in Xiaolinzhuang was put on hold for the time being.
Feng Yuanbo's arrival was coincidental. The housekeeper had just returned to the capital and the replacement had not yet arrived.
So after Feng Yuanbo saw the situation of the house, he asked Lin Youcai about Xiaolin Village, and then planned to go back and report to Lin Zhu, and then notify the people of Xiaolin Village after she made a decision.
However, seeing that the spring plowing season is coming, Feng Yuanbo feels that his actions have to be accelerated. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations, monthly votes, and your support is my biggest motivation.)
