Uncle Xia and Uncle Xia's faces were as red as the red paper on which couplets were written. They were rubbing their feet on the ground, neither raising their heads nor not raising their heads.
Uncle Xia hummed: "We didn't expect her to be so ill at that time. She only died from illness a few days ago. It was because of his own poor health and it had nothing to do with me..."
"And you, Sun Tiehu, don't be too proud!" Uncle Xia also said, "Aren't you cured? Your family sold out all the land to treat you. You and your mother won't even be able to eat next year. You know how to eat, why are you so arrogant now?"
"Yes, otherwise you beg me for mercy, and I will rent you one or two acres of our land next year! One acre of land requires a tax of one bushel, and now everyone pays 50% to 60% of the rent. , for the sake of a village, I will give you a discount, you pay 50% of the harvest - of course, the tax will be deducted from your harvest!"
The villagers were shocked: "You pay 50% of the rent and also ask him to pay taxes. How can you just rent out the land without doing any work and harvest 50% of the grain in vain? Xia Wei, Xia Li, you are too calculated." Okay!"
Uncle Xia raised his chin proudly: "I can't help it. Who said my family has more land? If you sympathize with him, then rent out your land!"
The villagers choked.
Of course, renting is impossible. Who has extra land
The whole family worked hard until the Chinese New Year, and they barely had enough to eat. Since they were rented out, I had to work very little, but the harvest was also low, so there was nowhere to eat!
Everyone looked at Sun Tiehu with sympathetic eyes.
What's the use of Sun Tiehu being unwilling anymore? He can only bow to these two bad guys in shame and anger? Unless someone is willing to rent the land to him at a low price, how is that possible
However, when they looked over with sympathetic eyes, they did not see the unbearable shame and anger on Sun Tiehu's face as they imagined!
Even Sun Tiehu was still smiling!
"Haha, you two brothers are really kind-hearted, but there's no need for it."
A sneer appeared on Sun Tiehu's dark face.
No matter how good-tempered he is, he won't be able to endure being provoked and humiliated by these two guys over and over again, not to mention he has never been an honest man.
"Qingzhai said that he would rent out seven acres of his land to me for farming, and he would only charge 30% of the rent! For your two acres of land, which would charge 50% of the rent, I said go and ask who still needs to farm! "
"What, he's giving you seven acres of land to farm?"
"Fuck! I gave it all to you and only took 30% of it?"
Before Uncle Xia and Uncle Xia could speak, a few idle men who usually did nothing in the crowd jumped out with ugly expressions on their faces.
The villagers recognized them at a glance and shouted loudly.
"Hey! Aren't these the ones who rented the Xia family's fields before? When Xia He disappeared, they took the opportunity to bully the Xia family's orphans and widows and forced them to reduce the rent to only 10%! Xia Qingzhai was furious and They tore up the lease and would rather leave the land empty than rent it to them... "
"Qingzhai did a great job! Who let these guys add insult to injury? Are they still planning to wait until next year to see Qingzhai and his mother poor and helpless, and beg to come and let them farm?"
"Those lazy guys, even if they plant, they can't produce more than a few buckets of grain from one acre of land! Sun Tiehu is a good farmer. He can manage ten acres by himself, and the yield of one acre of land is as much as wheat."
"Hahaha, these guys deserve it!"
The idle men glared at Sun Tiehu angrily. Sun Tiehu smiled fiercely and raised his arms to show his muscles: "This matter is settled! Qingzhai is my benefactor. If you dare to harass him, I will I can’t spare you!”
