He Dongjin caught up with Lin Jiuniang when she got on the carriage and apologized.
Lin Jiuniang shook her head and chuckled:
"You don't need to apologize to me, you didn't do anything wrong.
You have good taste, and I admire you very much, but it’s a pity that we can’t cooperate this time.”
He Dongjin shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Ms. Lin, please stop comforting me. I didn't handle it well this time and made you run away in vain."
"Every village has a few troublemakers. I'm used to it. It's okay." Lin Jiuniang shook his head, not hiding his own thoughts:
"But the most important reason is not this."
As he spoke, he expressed his thoughts.
Finally, he chuckled and said, "Understood?"
Also because the land in Hejia Village does not meet my requirements, after comprehensive selection, I can only give up choosing your Hejia Village as a nursery land.
I thought you are a nice person and Hejia Village has a good atmosphere, so it doesn’t matter if I use the land in Hejia Village."
"Yeah," He Dongjin smiled bitterly. They could only blame themselves for not living up to expectations.
After Lin Jiuniang said a few words to him, she asked Baili Xuan to drive the carriage away.
As soon as she left, the villagers of Hejia Village who were watching not far away rushed over:
"Dongjin, what did Mrs. Lin say?"
"Yes, what's wrong? Will she still use our seedlings?"
…
"You still want others to use our land and take advantage of them. Do you want your faces to be so big?" He Dongjin sneered.
He looked at them with indifferent eyes, his disdain deepening:
"It's gone, there's nothing left. If you want to plant it, just wait and pay for seeds and seedlings."
As soon as he said this, He Dafu became unhappy.
"He Dongjin, what you said makes me unhappy. She uses our land to raise seedlings, so shouldn't we pay rent?
Humph, what is free? It is not exchanged for the rent of our land?
Doesn’t the wool also come from ourselves?”
When everyone heard this, they realized that this was true.
Everyone nodded sharply at that moment, "That's right, didn't they give us rent?"
So they didn't take advantage of her.
He Dongjin sneered, "Yes, everything you said is right. So if people don't take advantage of you now, just pay for it yourself."
After saying that, he walked straight towards his home.
He Dafu was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses and shouted to He Dongjin:
"You want me to pay for her seeds and seedlings to plant? Hum, I tell you, it's impossible.
If I have money, I will buy the best seeds and plant them myself. Who cares about hers?
A woman has just some small achievements, what is there to be proud of?"
…
On the carriage, Lin Li looked at Lin Jiuniang:
"It's okay to plant on the He family's land, why not use it?"
"Trouble," Lin Jiuniang shook her head.
I don’t want to do troublesome things.
"Reason," Lin Li didn't understand.
If she had no intention, she would not have brought them to Hejia Village before dawn due to her lazy character.
I came here on purpose.
"You've become smarter," Lin Jiuniang smiled. She had already mentioned this, and she didn't give her an answer. I'm really sorry for Lin Li's seriousness.
Shaking his head, "That man named He Dafu was obviously bribed by others, so he came out to sing the opposite tune again and again.
Therefore, if the seedlings were really being raised in Hejia Village, I am afraid that this person would secretly cause trouble.
Think about it, I spent more than a month to finally grow the seedlings, but they were destroyed by someone, haha, then I really want to die."
Lin Li frowned.
Shaking his head, "It's so troublesome, so I'd better not do it."
But he hesitated and continued:
"But if you use land from other villages for breeding, you will have the same problem, right?"
"Haha, but there is a village that doesn't!" Lin Jiuniang's eyes flashed.
At this moment, the carriage stopped.
Glancing outside the carriage, Lin Jiuniang smiled.
"coming!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she immediately got down from the carriage.
The people who stopped the carriage were Huang Dalin and Huang Baoming.
When they saw Lin Jiuniang, they immediately saluted, "I've met Mrs. Lin."
Lin Jiuniang avoided them, did not accept their gifts, and shook her head:
"I am an ordinary citizen just like you, so there is no need to treat me with such great courtesy. I can't bear it."
Huang Dalin looked serious and shook his head, "You can bear it. Besides, I owe this to Mrs. Lin. I have offended you many times before. Please forgive me."
"Yes, Mrs. Lin, please don't be angry," Huang Baoming also agreed.
"No, I won't be angry over such a trivial matter," Lin Jiuniang shook her head, her eyes flashed with light, and then she looked calm:
"If you have something to do, let's just say it straight away, no need to beat around the bush."
After Huang Baoming and Huang Dalin looked at each other, Huang Dalin stood up.
He looked at Lin Jiuniang seriously:
"Ms. Lin, I heard that you want to rent land to raise seedlings, and the reward is to give seedlings and other seeds to the land for free. Is this true?"
"Yes," Lin Jiuniang nodded.
Then he sighed, "Unfortunately, some people are too greedy.
I rent their land to raise seedlings, which will not delay their cultivation at all, and I will also pay them to help me do the work for two months.
Then the rent is offset by the seeds and seedlings I provide.
Some people actually thought I was evil and wanted me to pay them another one tael of silver and one acre of land as rent.
Do you think you are taking me for granted?"
Lin Jiuniang rambled on about her complaints and looked like she was having a hard time with her.
Huang Baoming shook his head, "It is indeed too evil.
One tael of silver per acre of land, why doesn’t he grab it?”
"Sure enough, the heroes think alike. I also want to say why he doesn't grab it?" Lin Jiuniang looked angry:
“They have been idle for more than a month, unable to plant anything.
I used the money from seeds and seedlings to pay for more than a month's rent, but I'm still not satisfied and greedy."
"You know that if you plant the seedlings and seeds I provided, when they are harvested, I will take them back at a high price. Are you afraid that you won't make any money?"
…
Huang Dalin was stunned for a moment, then looked at Lin Jiuniang seriously:
"Ms. Lin, you said that when the harvest comes, you will take it back at a high price? What is the usual price?"
"Definitely not low. This is cotton. I will recycle it at the lowest price of ten cents per catty. If it is higher, it will naturally be more." Lin Jiuniang said disapprovingly.
"Shiwen!"
Huang Baoming stuttered. The price is so high, higher than the price of grain.
"Yes," Lin Jiuniang sighed, "this thing is a new gadget, and it is rare to find something valuable.
The purchase price in the past two years has been high but not low."
Huang Dalin was excited and looked at Lin Jiuniang impatiently:
"Ms. Lin, then, have you found the breeding land?"
When he was sure that Lin Jiuniang hadn't been found yet, Huang Dalin asked Lin Jiuniang to wait for him while he pulled Huang Baoming aside to bite his ear.
Looking at the two of them, Lin Jiuniang's eyes flashed with light.
very good!
Looking at her expression, Lin Li still didn't understand. Lin Jiuniang was probably targeting Huangjiacun.
And Hejiacun may have been a front from the beginning.
Shaking his head, he sighed, "Another trick."
"Tricking people?" Lin Jiuniang smiled and shook her head, "I am Jiang Taigong fishing, whoever wants to take the bait."
Lin Li twitched her lips, it would be strange for her to believe what she said.
If she hadn't deliberately plotted against them, why would she have talked so much nonsense?
I'm afraid I'll turn around and leave.
Besides, the way she complained just now gave me goosebumps, and she was pretending to be really innocent.
Sure enough, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer.
Lin Li was puzzled, "Why did you choose Huangjiacun?"
After all, judging from the previous events, Huangjiacun was not necessarily very peaceful.
Looking at Huang Dalin and Huang Dalin walking towards her, Lin Jiuniang's lips curled up slightly, revealing a half-smiling smile:
"You will know my purpose soon!"
Xiang Zhuang's sword dance was intended for Pei Gong!
Renting is secondary, but her purpose is something else!
