Chapter 259 Greed is not enough to swallow the elephant
Su Liu never imagined that his small piece of land would attract so many people's interest. Even Mrs. Wu had a hand in it. Of course, she was just acting as a middleman.
"Both father and son are good at growing crops. It's a pity that the old man got seriously ill the year before last. The few acres of land in the family were sold to raise money for treatment. Otherwise, they wouldn't have ended up like this. I also feel bad for them, and they
She is indeed diligent, and that's why she decided to pull the strings." Mrs. Wu carefully looked at Su Liu's face and said, "As for the rent, it can be anything from five to five to six. Of course, if the eldest girl knows what she wants, she can do it.
That's all, I'm just holding the line."
"With twenty-four acres of land, how many members of their family can handle it?" Su Liu raised an eyebrow.
The person Mrs. Wu introduced was a brother of her husband’s family, named Wu Sheng.
"Yes, if you don't think it's right, you can do it half way. It all depends on what you want, girl." Mrs. Wu nodded hurriedly.
Su Liu was silent. In the past two days, many people had asked her about renting crops. There was always no shortage of people renting crops in the fertile fertile land. If it weren't for the fact that they were all women and had businesses on their hands, Su Liu would have thought of herself.
Planted.
When I bought it, the twenty-four acres of land were not connected together. Su Liu and others just exchanged several acres of land for the purpose of making management easier.
"I remember Mrs. Wu's husband's family is in Bazi Village, right?"
Su Liu only asked this question, and Mrs. Wu understood the meaning of her words, and immediately smiled bitterly and said: "Miss dissatisfaction, in order to cure his father's illness, my clan brother borrowed everything he could and sold the fields."
, it can be said that the family has only four walls to live in. In Bazi Village, there is only a broken house to live in. "
"They also said that if they can rent the girl's land, they plan to move their family to Chentian Village. As long as the land is profitable, it won't be a problem to stay there for a few years and then return to the village to build a new house."
After hearing this, Su Liu said, "How can a foreigner like them settle down in Chentian Village?"
"The head of Chentian Village has some kind of friendship with my bastard husband, and he can still sell me this face. Moreover, their family is docile and honest." Mrs. Wu meant that her brother's family is not that kind of person.
Seeing that Su Liu was hesitant, she said hurriedly: "This time I'm coming, and their mothers are coming with me. The girls have sharp eyes and can tell the truth of what I say at a glance."
Su Liu smiled when he heard this and said: "Mrs. Wu is also a hero among women. She speaks loud and clear. I still don't believe her? But since you are here, please come over and have tea."
"Hey, okay, I'll call them right away." Mrs. Wu stood up.
"It's no use to you, sit down quickly, I'll let the girl go." Su Liu winked at Shuang Ning beside him.
After a while, Shuang Ning came with a man and a woman.
The man is about forty years old, tall, ordinary and honest-looking, with dark skin. He wears patched clothes, but he is very clean and tidy.
The woman is about the same age. Perhaps because she has been doing farm work for many years, she is also very strong and has a gentle smile on her face.
The two of them didn't dare to look around when they came in. It wasn't until Mrs. Wu introduced Su Liu that they knelt down on the ground and kowtowed with trepidation: "I've seen the eldest lady."
"Get up and talk, watch your seat." Su Liu shouted hurriedly. She was still not used to kneeling back and forth like this.
"We can just stand." Wu Sheng glanced at the shiny chair and said awkwardly.
"Sit down, my rules are not that big." Su Liu smiled lightly.
"The elder girl lets you sit down, so just sit down." Mrs. Wu also winked.
Wu Sheng and his wife sat down in fear, but they only sat down next to each other.
Shuang Ning served tea and a small plate of snacks. Su Liu then started to ask questions. First, he asked how many people in the family were doing and what they were doing. What did the two of them usually do?
Wu Sheng was a little nervous at first and spoke stammeringly. Later, seeing that Su Liu spoke calmly, he relaxed his courage and started talking about the farming methods, such as when to plant seeds and how to control insects.
, they all spoke clearly.
Su Liu smiled while listening, but he was thinking secretly in his heart.
The population of Wu Sheng's family is said to be quite small. There is an old man who used to be quite strong. Now he is a little weaker, but he can still farm. They have three sons and two daughters. The first two sons and the middle daughter are married.
, the younger two are about ten years old.
Children from poor families in the countryside are not destined to be young ladies or masters. The older ones have to help with the work. Even the younger ones, who cannot do big jobs, have to do small jobs or help take care of the children.
This is the case in Wu Sheng's family. The adults are all working. Now that there is no land, they take on some odd jobs. The daughters-in-law work day and night to collect shoe soles and do handicrafts. The younger children help take care of the grandchildren.
Take action.
There are not many people like Mr. Huang who raised their daughter to be a young lady.
Her land is twenty-four acres, which is actually not too much. If this family is diligent, it is not impossible to do it. And according to Wu Sheng, it is a good idea, but the eggs must be put in one basket.
Here? Can this family really get everything done?
Seeing Su Liu's silence, the hearts of Wu Sheng and his wife also sank. If Madam Wu had not warned her not to be rude before coming, I'm afraid they would have knelt down to beg.
"Uncle Wu, Aunt Wu, to be honest, although I want to rent out this land, I haven't figured out how to do it yet. How about I give you news later?" Su Liu said with a smile.
After Wu Sheng heard this, his bright eyes immediately dimmed, and he said with a stiff face: "Whatever the big girl says."
Aunt Wu was about to cry and couldn't help but beg: "Girl, you can win just by renting a few acres of land."
"Sister-in-law!" Mrs. Wu called out hurriedly and shook her head.
Aunt Wu lowered her head, tears welled up in her eyes, but she didn't dare to cry.
Su Liu felt a little embarrassed when he saw her. Mrs. Wu has been traveling for many years, so she couldn't see Su Liu's embarrassment. She said: "It's too late for us to disturb you. Let's go back first. If you have any news about the eldest lady, please send someone."
Just go and tell me."
"It works. Don't worry. It won't be the day after tomorrow at the latest. I will ask someone to deliver a message to you." Su Liu was very satisfied with Mrs. Wu's awareness of current affairs.
Wu Sheng and his wife wanted to say a few more good words, but they also kept Wu Niangzi's words in mind. They didn't dare to say anything and just followed Wu Niangzi.
Seeing this, Su Liu felt a little more favorable towards the two of them. It's annoying to cry and talk about how miserable you are to get sympathy. You are really having a hard time, but even if you don't say it, others can see it, which magnifies the misery.
Being sympathetic will only make people bored.
"I won't see you off." Su Liu said with a smile after they were sent to the door.
Before Mrs. Wu could speak, two or three shouts came over her.
"Liu Yatou, Liu Yatou."
Su Liu was slightly startled, looked over, and his smile faded.
Mrs. Huang walked quickly with Su Yindi, his wife and a young village girl about ten years old. When they saw Mrs. Wu and others standing at the door, they couldn't help but take a look.
"Girl, if you have guests, there is no need to send them off. We are waiting for news from you." Madam Wu did not know Su Yindi and others, so she said to Su Liu.
Su Liu smiled and nodded.
Wu Sheng hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Sister, I don't want to hear what I say, but if you can rent the land to us, we will definitely do a good job and we will never default on a single cent of the rent.
"
Su Liu smiled, but before he could answer, Huang on the side heard this, jumped up with his eyes wide open, and said sharply: "What, are you here to rent land? No rent, no rent, my granddaughter's land,
Her aunt is tenanted, so she's here to negotiate the rent. You go, there's no land to rent to you."
After hearing this, Mrs. Wu and others looked at Su Liu in shock. Granddaughter, aunt? Is this a relative of the Su Liu family?
Su Liu's face darkened and she looked at Mr. Huang coldly.
When Huang touched Su Liu's indifferent eyes, she felt a little embarrassed. She lowered her head, secretly annoyed that she was quick to speak, and then touched Su Liu's brow.
She just couldn't give it in. Su Liu refused to rent it to their family, so she thought that Su Yindi and Chen were good friends. With this, they could always rent the land. Then the two families would plant together, wouldn't it be the same? So she postponed it.
When Su Yindi arrived, he was naturally anxious when he heard that Mrs. Wu and the others were here to rent land.
Brother Su Yin and the others were also a little apprehensive. They didn't dare to express their anger in the face of Su Liu's cold face. However, her daughter-in-law, although it was her first time to see Su Liu, stepped forward very familiarly: "This is Liu'er's cousin.
Well, I am your eldest cousin-in-law."
Su Liu didn't even look at her. He just smiled apologetically at Mrs. Wu and said, "Mrs. Wu, I still say the same thing. I will give you news the day after tomorrow at the latest. Even if I can't give you all the land, I can still share a few acres.
of."
Being treated so coldly by Su Liu, Zhu Tangshi's smile froze, feeling a little embarrassed.
After listening to Su Liu's words, Wu Sheng and his wife's originally dim eyes suddenly brightened up, and they repeatedly said some kind words of gratitude. Mrs. Wu knew how to put on a cheerful face, and after thanking her, she took them away.
As soon as Mrs. Wu left, Mrs. Huang couldn't help it anymore and looked at Su Liu almost questioningly: "Girl Liu, what do you mean, you know that we are here, and you still want to rent the land to outsiders?"
Su Liu didn't have a good look on Mr. Huang, and scolded her coldly: "Who are you? How dare you come to question me? Do you need your consent to share my land with others? It's really ridiculous." She shook it off.
sleeves, turned around and went back to the house.
It's really ridiculous. Who the hell is Huang? He dares to issue orders on her behalf, and even dismantles Lady Wu in front of her, almost causing her to lose face.
Huang and the others did not expect that Su Liu would be embarrassed at the door, and they were stunned for a moment. However, Su Yindi saw the opportunity quickly and said hurriedly: "Liu girl, it's so easy for me to come here. I want to talk to your mother.
Your mother, I’ll go..."
Su Liu turned around with a sharp look, her eyes as sharp as sharp swords, and said, "My mother is not at home, where are you coming from and where are you going." After saying that, someone closed the door, not even letting them in.
Su Yindi always used Mrs. Chen to talk about things. They helped her once or twice, thinking that Mrs. Chen could support her and make the decision, and then get benefits from their family! If she is greedy, she will swallow the elephant.
It's really disgusting to give a tenant to Wu Sheng, not to these so-called relatives.
