After consulting with his family members, Su Liuzheng divided the twenty-four acres of land into two halves and leased it to Wu Shenghe, a family whose surname was Li and whose name was Guihe who had lived in Chentian Village for generations.
The lease agreement with the two families is to rent for two years first, and the rent is 40% of the harvest. You will take care of all the seeds and so on. At that time, the rent paid by the two families will be similar. If it is similar, then that is fine. If the gap is large, then
One company will definitely be eliminated.
Although it was only half, both Wu Sheng and Li Guihe were very grateful. After all, twelve acres of land was not a small amount of land, and it was good farmland. If there were no unavoidable events such as natural disasters, as long as they were managed properly, there would always be enough land.
It is useful for collecting interest and not lacking for chewing.
After settling the tenancy issue, Su Liu focused on the development of the donkey-hide gelatin workshop and industry. She wanted to build a very large manor with farms, orchards, fields, houses, etc.
She also had some plans for the construction of the farm, but the location of the manor was difficult to find, and the most important thing for the farm was grass. Such conditions were not easy to find, so she could only plan slowly.
In early March, Su Liu finally heard a mixed news from his old house, that is, Su Jinfeng's marriage was finally settled, and it had to be settled because Su Jinfeng was pregnant!
In the villages of this era, being pregnant before marriage was considered a pig's cage. The old man did not dare to argue anymore. The old Zhou family also wanted a grandson, so each family took a step back and the betrothal gift was set at the standard of twenty taels.
"Twenty taels is not low anymore. The old home family married the second son's family, but it only cost a few taels of silver." When Mrs. Chen heard this, she said: "This is also the reason why the old Zhou family has some foundation. Otherwise, take a look at this farmer's family."
Here, who can afford twenty taels?"
"That's why the old lady in the old house dances happily." Su Liu snorted.
The happy life of the precious youngest daughter was decided, and there was such a large betrothal gift. Huang's heart was relieved. She intentionally or unintentionally showed off that the betrothal gift was dozens of taels of silver, for fear that others would not know about her daughter's marriage.
What's going on.
In addition to this, Mrs. Huang also did not forget to add trouble to Su Liu and the others, saying that they had no family ties and would rather rent the land to outsiders than to their own relatives, which was too cruel.
Su Liu naturally didn't mind. When others asked, she just said: Yes, why would I rather rent the land to outsiders than rent it to "my own family"? Why is this?
Those who are interested will immediately hear the hidden meaning. Thinking of the life lived by Su Liuniang and his wife in the past, they suddenly understand, how did you treat this mother and daughter in the past?
That's all, but after Mrs. Huang said bad things about others, she asked Su Chuntao to tell Ms. Chen and others to go to Su Jinfeng's wedding banquet.
Su Chuntao stood in the front hall of Su Liu's house, looking from here to there with jealousy and envy in her eyes.
This was the first time she had entered Su Liu's home. She really didn't expect that Su Liu's home was so big and nice, even better than her grandfather's house.
Su Liu coughed, and Su Chuntao looked over. His eyes were sore and astringent, and it really stung.
She was dressed in an autumn-colored brocade dress and had an outstanding appearance. She only picked a few strands of her black hair and combed it into a small bun. She wore a copper-inlaid pearl butterfly flower hairpin and an emerald gem tassel. She had tears falling on her earlobes.
The drop-shaped crystal jade earrings are pretty, elegant and very decent.
It's so beautiful.
These words flooded into Su Chuntao's mind. If she wore it on herself, she would probably be more beautiful, right? Looking at herself, this was still the best dress she had specially dressed. But compared with Su Liuyi, it was
There is no comparison between heaven and earth.
Su Chuntao bit her lip, feeling envious and a little inferior, and she couldn't help but shrink a little. To be honest, Su Liu's aura now is very different from before!
Sure enough, he was no longer the Liuzhier he used to be, who could be beaten and scolded at will. Su Chuntao realized this and her face turned a little pale. Then she looked into Su Liu's eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling. She snorted and looked away.
"I told you what I said, but don't say I didn't bring it to you." She wrung her hands vigorously and said coldly.
The most humble person is invincible. The ancients would never deceive me!
Su Liu sneered and said: "This is a coincidence. We are going to the county to celebrate our birthday on March 18th. I'm afraid we won't be able to go."
Would Mrs. Huang be so kind as to invite them to a dinner? She just wanted Mrs. Chen to make Su Jinfeng more beautiful.
She has never seen such a shameless person. One person talks bad about you, and the other person invites you to a banquet as if it's nothing. Do you really think they are clay figures who can't pinch you as much as you want?
In a farmer's home, when a daughter gets married, relatives and friends come to add to the gift, which is thread, cloth, pillowcases and the like. If the daughter is generous, some white ones will be given.
It wasn't that Su Liu couldn't bear the idea of adding makeup, she was just impatient with Huang's behavior. Why bother pretending to be affectionate when she was already at odds with her?
Su Chuntao's face changed slightly after hearing her words, and said: "I don't care about you, anyway, I have already told you, if you don't go, just wait for grandma to scold you."
"That's really funny. Aren't we all willing to go and have a banquet? Why do we have to scold people when we don't have time?" Sulyumans picked up the tea in a logical manner and said: "Isn't it true that every family treats guests?
Does everyone have to be present? Or do you only have your Su family?"
Su Chuntao looked at her elegant movements with disdain in her heart, but she looked at them unblinkingly, wondering where did she learn to have such beautiful six-fingered fingers? She would try to learn like this herself later!
Seeing that she was silent, Su Liu frowned, and then saw her looking at him blankly. He didn't know why?
Impatient to deal with her anymore, Su Liu put down the teacup and said, "I've delivered your message. I have something to do this time, so I won't see you off. Xueluo, see you off."
Su Chuntao came back to her senses and opened her mouth to speak. The girl named Xueluo had already come forward and waved her hand: "Miss Su, please come this way."
Su Chuntao was a little embarrassed, but she didn't dare to act wild here with Su Liu, so she had to leave with a snort.
After walking out of the gate, Su Chuntao turned around, looked at the scarlet red, sighed, crossed her arms and said angrily: "What's so great about it, what are you doing? You're not a princess even if you're wearing a phoenix robe."
, pretending to be like, hum!"
Su Liu's place was desolate. Although two or three families came here one after another to build houses, it was no more lively than in the center of the village. Su Chuntao made a few remarks before leaving with a sour feeling.
Su Liu told Mrs. Chen about Su Chuntao's purpose, and Mrs. Chen snorted and said, "This is really your way."
Isn't that right? Su Liu sneered lightly and said: "Anyway, we won't go. Isn't it the twenty-two Cao family's birthday? Let's go to the county a few days in advance and have fun for a few days."
Mrs. Chen's face was slightly red. Two days ago, Cao Mingzhu sent a letter saying that Cao Kui was celebrating his birthday and asked Su Liu and his family to have a drink.
"Mom, what gift did you give to the Cao family?" Su Liu asked with a wink.
Mrs. Chen hit her and said coquettishly: "You can say anything, how can you say this?"
"Hehe, I'm asking too."
Mrs. Chen was a little embarrassed, so she had to change the subject and said, "Jin Feng's days are really urgent."
"Are you not in a hurry? She won't be able to hold her here any longer." Su Liu pointed to her belly and said.
Mrs. Chen was stunned for a moment, but that's not it. Su Jinfeng's reputation was already bad. If she got pregnant out of wedlock, she would be drowned in saliva. Although, some people have vaguely guessed that now,
But it didn’t show up after all, right?
Over at the old house, Mr. Huang and Su Jinfeng looked at Su Chuntao eagerly. When she said that Mrs. Chen and the others would not come, their faces turned dark.
"Are you really not coming?" Su Jinfeng asked through gritted teeth.
"I was told that I would like to go to the county to celebrate my birthday." Su Chuntao was somewhat gloating about his misfortune.
In fact, it didn't matter to her whether Mrs. Chen and the others came or not. She wasn't the one getting married anyway. She was happy to see Su Jinfeng defeated. Humph, wasn't she just marrying her cousin on the strength of her belly?
"Who is better than her sister-in-law who is married? You are a heartless bastard who has raised them all these years in vain." Huang scolded with a dark face.
"Grandma, just give up. Now that I'm rich, why do I still want you? It's not like I'm looking for fresh radish skin." Su Chuntao curled her lips and said.
"You little hooves don't come here to criticize mulberry trees and cypress trees." Su Jinfeng glared at her.
Su Chuntao snorted and ignored the two of them. She turned around and went back to her room. Well, my damn little aunt got married, so she had the west wing all to herself.
"Mom, what should we do?" Su Jinfeng was unwilling to give up and asked with a pout.
"What can we do? They are all cruel people. If they don't come, why don't we have to carry eight sedans to carry her? She is beautiful." Huang said angrily.
"Then my makeup is not too short." Su Jinfeng pouted. She originally came here to target the Chen family. With their current wealth, the makeup must be much more beautiful and expensive, but now, it's not
Failed.
"The Zhou family also has some foundation, what are you worried about?" Mrs. Huang pulled her over, pushed open the window lattice and took a look outside, then lowered her voice and said: "Don't say anything, mother will quietly give you five taels of silver at the bottom of the box, you
Keep it to yourself and don’t reveal it to them, eh?”
"I knew Mom was the best to me." Su Jinfeng smiled happily after hearing this, hugging Huang and saying affectionately.
"You are my mother's darling. If my mother is not good to you, who will be good to you?" Mrs. Huang was very disappointed. She patted the back of her hand and said angrily. Thinking of Mrs. Chen and the others again, a trace of annoyance flashed in her eyes: "It's a pity. It was long ago."
If you know it, don't separate those white-eyed wolves, otherwise, all the good things they have will belong to you?"
Su Jinfeng's smile dropped, and a trace of malice flashed in his eyes, and he said: "I don't see how good they are, just wait, they will be in bad luck soon. Didn't I say that Ning Guang is our young master? Look at
, Su Liu will be abandoned tomorrow, let’s see how she behaves, huh!”
Just after she finished speaking, the clanging sound of gongs and cymbals was faintly heard in the distance. The two mother and daughter looked at each other, what happened?
With the sound of sonorous gongs and cymbals, a group of people wearing official uniforms and riding big horses appeared in Dayao Village. The battle was like that of an emperor on a patrol.
And the sound of horse hoofbeats rang quickly, heading quickly in the direction of Su Liu's house.
