"Second Butler, Zhuangzi is a long way away. Please make arrangements and order someone to pick up Dr. Xu."
The second housekeeper's eyes shrank, then he bent down and said, "Yes."
Hua Zhuo said a few words lightly, but Li Sanmiao even got his vest soaked through. He wanted to say something again, but he didn't dare to say it, otherwise he would really have a ghost in his heart. But if he didn't say a word, his Zhuangtou would still be worried. Whether I can continue doing it or not is a matter of two minds.
Aunt Shuangcheng understood and said: "Mr. Liu, Rong'an Hall has always treated people generously. Over the years, I have treated the tenants in Zhuangzi quite benevolently. There is a funeral in Zhuangzi, and the master's family has all had members. The tenants If we have any difficulties, my wife will help as much as possible. She will never feel sorry for you. Mr. Liu, you are also an old man. You should know that rent reduction is not something that my Hua family can do. You are in charge. Now that my nephew has patted his chest and agreed to half the rent for you, he has already done his best. If you push further, you will go too far."
"shrew."
"shrew."
"What Mr. Liu said is wrong. When giving gifts during the New Year, if you have money, give more, and if you don't have money, give less. Everyone knows what kind of year it is now. Are there any relatives who would complain that you don't give enough? Apart from other things, my Hua family will not accept your gifts this year. If you are really sorry and send a few grain stalks, my Hua family will only regard it as a gift rather than a friendship, and will never dislike this meager gift."
After hearing Doctor Guan say that Xu Changqing had obtained the true biography, Hua Zhuo no longer dared to regard him as an ordinary medicine boy and directly changed his name to Little Doctor.
But at this time, when Aunt Shuangcheng came, she realized that it was no wonder that the young nephew did not pursue Li Zhuangtou's matter. It turned out that the backhand was here. If Aunt Shuangcheng asked about something, it would be a big deal. Big hair.
Although Aunt Shuangcheng was wearing a curtain hat, Liu Si recognized her voice and hurriedly came forward to greet her, but he felt secretly bitter in his heart. It turned out that he saw a young nephew who was just a baby. Although he was well-organized in everything he said, It is quite powerful, but after all, I am from my family. I came to Zhuangzi today, which is a town. The young master of my family cannot interfere in the affairs of the village at will. Just like the rent-grubbing incident of Mr. Li Zhuangtou, my nephew The young master did not dare to reach out and take care of it, so Liu Si just respected the young nephew, but was not very afraid in his heart.
Aunt Shuangcheng was already waiting anxiously in the car. She had not seen Hua Zhuo send someone to report that she was safe. She already regretted that she should not let Hua Zhuo face the tenants alone, but she was also afraid that she would damage Hua Zhuo if she got out of the car now. When Zhuo Zhuo was thinking about his plan, he suddenly heard Hua Zhuo's voice outside the carriage. He felt a big stone falling in his heart. He quickly put on his hat, lifted the curtain and got out of the car.
Li Sanmiao was so angry that he turned blue, but when he saw the second housekeeper suddenly glared at him, he was frightened. Then he remembered that there was a young lady who made the decision for him, so why should he get entangled with a shrew? These two people are still working on Zhuangzi. After today, there are many ways to deal with them.
"shrew."
As she said that, she glanced at Aunt Shuangcheng again.
As a group of people stepped into Li Sanmiao's home, his mother-in-law had already tidied up everything and came out with a smile on her face. She greeted her with gifts and offered her support, and invited Aunt Shuangcheng and Hua Zhuo into the main house. Sitting there, serving tea and water, very enthusiastic.
Li Sanmiao's face turned even uglier.
The second housekeeper responded and still stood behind calmly. He just didn't care how the young lady handled the affairs of the village, but he was interested in weighing her.
But at this time, when Aunt Shuangcheng came, she realized that it was no wonder that the young nephew did not pursue Li Zhuangtou's matter. It turned out that the backhand was here. If Aunt Shuangcheng asked about something, it would be a big deal. Big hair.
As soon as these words came out, Liu Si's expression also changed, but he was mature and soon put on a smile and said: "It's the Dragon King who shows his favor, and it's also the big guys who show their love. Everything has been going well in the past few years, little old man." I have also saved some money. No, I just built these three houses and two thatched houses. I am really exhausted. I am old and can no longer work. How can I have such good luck as Li Zhuangtou? If you have a spare wallet, you can go down to a forest in Qingyuan Mountain. It’s a good place. It also produces some dates and pears, as well as firewood, and occasionally you can collect some herbs. Although the money is not much, it is a good place to work without interruption every day. A windfall, Mr. Li Zhuangtou, don’t you think so?”
She pulled Hua Zhuo to look left and right, and then breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that there was nothing unusual.
After Doctor Guan left, Hua Zhuo looked at Madam Wang again and said, "Madam Wang, the man in your family took the lead in making trouble. He was already wrong, but he was injured by my Hua family's cow. I also invited a doctor. , I gave you the medical expenses and housing expenses together, but if you smashed Li Zhuangtou’s belongings, you still have to compensate according to the price.”
Although Aunt Shuangcheng was wearing a curtain hat, Liu Si recognized her voice and hurriedly came forward to greet her, but he felt secretly bitter in his heart.

Just like the rent-grubbing incident of Mr. Li Zhuangtou, my nephew The young master did not dare to reach out and take care of it, so Liu Si just respected the young nephew, but was not very afraid in his heart.
Hua Zhuo saw it, but deliberately pretended not to see it. She had already felt that there was something fishy about Zhuangzi, but she still couldn't figure out the details and didn't know if her mother knew about it, so she didn't pursue it for the time being and waited. Let’s talk about it this time.
"Little... young nephew, young nephew, please listen to my explanation..."
Li Sanmiao was so angry that he turned blue, but when he saw the second housekeeper suddenly glared at him, he was frightened. Then he remembered that there was a young lady who made the decision for him, so why should he get entangled with a shrew? These two people are still working on Zhuangzi. After today, there are many ways to deal with them.
Hua Zhuo looked at him deeply and said nothing. He turned around and walked back to the carriage. He knocked on the carriage lightly and said, "Auntie, it's okay for now. You are bored in the carriage. Follow me to Lizhuang." Let’s take a rest at Tou’s house, have a cup of tea, and wait for fourth uncle to come.”
After Doctor Guan left, Hua Zhuo looked at Madam Wang again and said, "Madam Wang, the man in your family took the lead in making trouble. He was already wrong, but he was injured by my Hua family's cow. I also invited a doctor. , I gave you the medical expenses and housing expenses together, but if you smashed Li Zhuangtou’s belongings, you still have to compensate according to the price.”
"Why?" Mrs. Wang screamed, put her hands on her hips and said, "If Li Zhuangtou hadn't locked my man in the cowshed, how could he have been injured by the cow? I am justified in smashing his things. Why? Why should I compensate him? Don’t even think about it!”

A windfall, Mr. Li Zhuangtou, don’t you think so?”
As expected, Mrs. Wang was so angry that she looked like a cat that had stepped on its tail. She bared her teeth and claws and said: "Li, what are you talking about? Why did my man provoke you? You ruined him like this and called us thieves. Damn you." The whole family is the thief. I don’t know how much of the rent paid to the master’s family every year has been stolen by you. Young nephew, go to the Li family and have a look. In the entire village, he is the only one who has built five rooms with blue bricks. Big tile-roofed house, everyone is farming the same land, how can he have the money to build such a good house... "
"Second Butler, Zhuangzi is a long way away. Please make arrangements and order someone to pick up Dr. Xu."
Aunt Shuangcheng was already waiting anxiously in the car. She had not seen Hua Zhuo send someone to report that she was safe. She already regretted that she should not let Hua Zhuo face the tenants alone, but she was also afraid that she would damage Hua Zhuo if she got out of the car now. When Zhuo Zhuo was thinking about his plan, he suddenly heard Hua Zhuo's voice outside the carriage. He felt a big stone falling in his heart.

A windfall, Mr. Li Zhuangtou, don’t you think so?”
What she said was too strong, so Li Zhuangtou was just fine. After all, he was not a tenant farmer, but a domestic slave of the Hua family. His family owned dozens of acres of land, and even covered a forest in Qingyuan Mountain, so he didn’t have to pay any bills. Rent, but Mr. Liu put on a sad face and sighed: "Young nephew, it is really not the tenant farmers who want to cause trouble. It is true that after paying enough rent, everyone will not be able to live. Seeing that there will be more Two months is the New Year's Eve. It's time to give gifts and build houses and walls. There is no need to spend money. In the spring of next year, the Yamen will come to collect the young crop tax. Not to mention that people cannot prevent people from eating whole grains. It is inevitable that they will have a headache and a fever. Please ask the doctor to take medicine. , it’s also an expense…”
"Little... young nephew, are you okay?"
"Why?" Mrs. Wang screamed, put her hands on her hips and said, "If Li Zhuangtou hadn't locked my man in the cowshed, how could he have been injured by the cow? I am justified in smashing his things. Why? Why should I compensate him? Don’t even think about it!”
After weighing for a moment, Li Zhuangtou bowed his head and made a gesture of leading the way. No matter what he says now, it is wrong, and it is better not to say it.
Hua Zhuo saw it, but deliberately pretended not to see it. She had already felt that there was something fishy about Zhuangzi, but she still couldn't figure out the details and didn't know if her mother knew about it, so she didn't pursue it for the time being and waited. Let’s talk about it this time.

After today, there are many ways to deal with them.
Li Sanmiao was so excited that she reacted and ran home, rushing to remind her mother-in-law to be careful about what she said and not to say anything she shouldn't.
Hua Zhuo saw it, but deliberately pretended not to see it. She had already felt that there was something fishy about Zhuangzi, but she still couldn't figure out the details and didn't know if her mother knew about it, so she didn't pursue it for the time being and waited. Let’s talk about it this time.
Hua Zhuo acted like she was about to talk about business, and everyone else looked at her and stepped out knowingly. Apart from her, Li and Liu, there were only Aunt Shuangcheng, Qiqiao and Baxiu left in the room. Girl.
After weighing for a moment, Li Zhuangtou bowed his head and made a gesture of leading the way. No matter what he says now, it is wrong, and it is better not to say it.

Young nephew, go to the Li family and have a look. In the entire village, he is the only one who has built five rooms with blue bricks. Big tile-roofed house, everyone is farming the same land, how can he have the money to build such a good house... "
Thinking of this, he stood up and said: "Young nephew, this villain is also at fault. If I had known that Wang Zatou was arrogant and could not even look at a cow, he should have been locked up in the hut. This compensation The villain doesn't want it anymore, he considers himself unlucky, and the villain dare not accept the money from this kind of people, and he is afraid of pricking his hands if he takes it, and he may be missed by a thief one day."
"Little... young nephew, young nephew, please listen to my explanation..."
Li Sanmiao was startled, and quickly turned to Hua Zhuo. Before he could speak, Hua Zhuo stood up slowly, looked at him with a half-smile, and said, "You don't want compensation, and I won't be too troublesome. I've been making trouble for a long time. , I was also tired, so I went to Li Zhuangtou’s home to have a rest and wait for my fourth uncle to come. It just so happened that I also took a look at the five large blue brick houses in Li Zhuangtou. I wonder if they were better than the ones in the Liu family’s hometown. So what about three rooms?”
As soon as these words came out, Liu Si's expression also changed, but he was mature and soon put on a smile and said: "It's the Dragon King who shows his favor, and it's also the big guys who show their love. Everything has been going well in the past few years, little old man." I have also saved some money. No, I just built these three houses and two thatched houses. I am really exhausted.

Hua Zhuo pursed his lips. As expected, a man who can be the head of a village is not a fuel-efficient lamp. This Li Sanmiao has an honest look, but the words he speaks also go straight to the core of people's hearts.
But at this time, when Aunt Shuangcheng came, she realized that it was no wonder that the young nephew did not pursue Li Zhuangtou's matter. It turned out that the backhand was here. If Aunt Shuangcheng asked about something, it would be a big deal. Big hair.
"Li Zhuangtou, Mr. Liu will stay, and everyone else should leave."
She pulled Hua Zhuo to look left and right, and then breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that there was nothing unusual.
Hua Zhuo acted like she was about to talk about business, and everyone else looked at her and stepped out knowingly. Apart from her, Li and Liu, there were only Aunt Shuangcheng, Qiqiao and Baxiu left in the room. Girl.

"You don't need to explain to me. I just came to see what's going on in Zhuangzi. Other things have nothing to do with me. If Li Zhuangtou has a clear conscience, why bother to explain? If Li Zhuangtou has something evil in his heart, wait for my fourth uncle. Come on, it’s not too late to explain.”
Hua Zhuo looked calmly, took a breath, and continued: "As for the young crop tax, my aunt is sitting here, so you don't have to bully me for being ignorant. This tax has always been shared half by the master and the tenant farmers. As for the Yamen, when it comes to big In disaster years, there will be some reductions. If the disaster is so severe this year, there will definitely be reductions and reductions next year. It will not make you unable to afford it. As for headaches and brain fever, please ask the doctor to take medicine. I will make a decision. Next year, every Zhuangzi will ask for one. A doctor will sit in for a consultation, and my Hua family will pay for the consultation. As for the money for medicine, there are a lot of herbal medicines on Qingyuan Mountain, so I think it will work if I go up to the mountain and dig it myself."
"Li Zhuangtou, Mr. Liu will stay, and everyone else should leave."

Li Sanmiao's face changed, and he hurriedly said to the second housekeeper: "Don't listen to this shrew's nonsense. Although I have two dollars, I bought a piece of forest on Qingyuan Mountain. I have never been greedy for half of the master's house." Lizuzi…”
She pulled Hua Zhuo to look left and right, and then breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that there was nothing unusual.
Hua Zhuo saw it, but deliberately pretended not to see it. She had already felt that there was something fishy about Zhuangzi, but she still couldn't figure out the details and didn't know if her mother knew about it, so she didn't pursue it for the time being and waited. Let’s talk about it this time.
"Li Zhuangtou, Mr. Liu Clan, regarding the renting matter, our Hua family has taken a step back and reduced it to half. How to tell the tenants? It is your business. My aunt and I only look at the results. If we leave Zhuangzi today If you can't handle this before, then let's just drop the rent reduction and do whatever you want to do in the future. Before the end of the year, the rent cannot be less, otherwise, it will be done according to the agreement in the tenancy contract. When the time comes, don’t blame me, the Hua family, for being unkind.”

She had already felt that there was something fishy about Zhuangzi, but she still couldn't figure out the details and didn't know if her mother knew about it, so she didn't pursue it for the time being and waited. Let’s talk about it this time.
Although Aunt Shuangcheng was wearing a curtain hat, Liu Si recognized her voice and hurriedly came forward to greet her, but he felt secretly bitter in his heart. It turned out that he saw a young nephew who was just a baby. Although he was well-organized in everything he said, It is quite powerful, but after all, I am from my family. I came to Zhuangzi today, which is a town. The young master of my family cannot interfere in the affairs of the village at will. Just like the rent-grubbing incident of Mr. Li Zhuangtou, my nephew The young master did not dare to reach out and take care of it, so Liu Si just respected the young nephew, but was not very afraid in his heart.
The second housekeeper's eyes shrank, then he bent down and said, "Yes."
The second housekeeper dusted off the dust on his sleeves and said calmly: "What are you telling me to do? My nephew is here, just argue with him."
The second housekeeper responded and still stood behind calmly. He just didn't care how the young lady handled the affairs of the village, but he was interested in weighing her.
Li Sanmiao's face turned even uglier.

"Mr. Liu, you are coming too." Hua Zhuo put her hands behind her back. She often saw Du Hong doing this, which was very manly. "Second housekeeper, please bring a few people to stay and watch Wang Ci's head before going out." I won’t ask if there is any mistake, you can just explain it to my fourth uncle.”
Li Sanmiao was startled, and quickly turned to Hua Zhuo. Before he could speak, Hua Zhuo stood up slowly, looked at him with a half-smile, and said, "You don't want compensation, and I won't be too troublesome.

As a group of people stepped into Li Sanmiao's home, his mother-in-law had already tidied up everything and came out with a smile on her face. She greeted her with gifts and offered her support, and invited Aunt Shuangcheng and Hua Zhuo into the main house. Sitting there, serving tea and water, very enthusiastic.

It turned out that he saw a young nephew who was just a baby. Although he was well-organized in everything he said, It is quite powerful, but after all, I am from my family. I came to Zhuangzi today, which is a town. The young master of my family cannot interfere in the affairs of the village at will. Just like the rent-grubbing incident of Mr. Li Zhuangtou, my nephew The young master did not dare to reach out and take care of it, so Liu Si just respected the young nephew, but was not very afraid in his heart.
Hua Zhuo saw it, but deliberately pretended not to see it. She had already felt that there was something fishy about Zhuangzi, but she still couldn't figure out the details and didn't know if her mother knew about it, so she didn't pursue it for the time being and waited. Let’s talk about it this time.
"What Mr. Liu said is wrong. When giving gifts during the New Year, if you have money, give more, and if you don't have money, give less. Everyone knows what kind of year it is now. Are there any relatives who would complain that you don't give enough? Apart from other things, my Hua family will not accept your gifts this year. If you are really sorry and send a few grain stalks, my Hua family will only regard it as a gift rather than a friendship, and will never dislike this meager gift."
"Little... young nephew, young nephew, please listen to my explanation..."
"Second Butler, Zhuangzi is a long way away. Please make arrangements and order someone to pick up Dr. Xu."
Thinking of this, he stood up and said: "Young nephew, this villain is also at fault. If I had known that Wang Zatou was arrogant and could not even look at a cow, he should have been locked up in the hut. This compensation The villain doesn't want it anymore, he considers himself unlucky, and the villain dare not accept the money from this kind of people, and he is afraid of pricking his hands if he takes it, and he may be missed by a thief one day."
"You don't need to explain to me. I just came to see what's going on in Zhuangzi. Other things have nothing to do with me. If Li Zhuangtou has a clear conscience, why bother to explain? If Li Zhuangtou has something evil in his heart, wait for my fourth uncle. Come on, it’s not too late to explain.”
She pulled Hua Zhuo to look left and right, and then breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that there was nothing unusual.
Aunt Shuangcheng understood and said: "Mr. Liu, Rong'an Hall has always treated people generously. Over the years, I have treated the tenants in Zhuangzi quite benevolently. There is a funeral in Zhuangzi, and the master's family has all had members. The tenants If we have any difficulties, my wife will help as much as possible. She will never feel sorry for you. Mr. Liu, you are also an old man. You should know that rent reduction is not something that my Hua family can do. You are in charge. Now that my nephew has patted his chest and agreed to half the rent for you, he has already done his best. If you push further, you will go too far."
"It turns out that my aunt is here too."
Aunt Shuangcheng was already waiting anxiously in the car. She had not seen Hua Zhuo send someone to report that she was safe. She already regretted that she should not let Hua Zhuo face the tenants alone, but she was also afraid that she would damage Hua Zhuo if she got out of the car now. When Zhuo Zhuo was thinking about his plan, he suddenly heard Hua Zhuo's voice outside the carriage. He felt a big stone falling in his heart. He quickly put on his hat, lifted the curtain and got out of the car.
"It turns out that my aunt is here too."
After weighing for a moment, Li Zhuangtou bowed his head and made a gesture of leading the way. No matter what he says now, it is wrong, and it is better not to say it.
Li Sanmiao was startled, and quickly turned to Hua Zhuo. Before he could speak, Hua Zhuo stood up slowly, looked at him with a half-smile, and said, "You don't want compensation, and I won't be too troublesome. I've been making trouble for a long time. , I was also tired, so I went to Li Zhuangtou’s home to have a rest and wait for my fourth uncle to come. It just so happened that I also took a look at the five large blue brick houses in Li Zhuangtou. I wonder if they were better than the ones in the Liu family’s hometown. So what about three rooms?”
Hua Zhuo said a few words lightly, but Li Sanmiao even got his vest soaked through. He wanted to say something again, but he didn't dare to say it, otherwise he would really have a ghost in his heart. But if he didn't say a word, his Zhuangtou would still be worried. Whether I can continue doing it or not is a matter of two minds.
Aunt Shuangcheng understood and said: "Mr. Liu, Rong'an Hall has always treated people generously. Over the years, I have treated the tenants in Zhuangzi quite benevolently. There is a funeral in Zhuangzi, and the master's family has all had members. The tenants If we have any difficulties, my wife will help as much as possible. She will never feel sorry for you. Mr. Liu, you are also an old man. You should know that rent reduction is not something that my Hua family can do. You are in charge. Now that my nephew has patted his chest and agreed to half the rent for you, he has already done his best. If you push further, you will go too far."
"Li Zhuangtou, Mr. Liu Clan, regarding the renting matter, our Hua family has taken a step back and reduced it to half. How to tell the tenants? It is your business. My aunt and I only look at the results. If we leave Zhuangzi today If you can't handle this before, then let's just drop the rent reduction and do whatever you want to do in the future. Before the end of the year, the rent cannot be less, otherwise, it will be done according to the agreement in the tenancy contract. When the time comes, don’t blame me, the Hua family, for being unkind.”
Although Aunt Shuangcheng was wearing a curtain hat, Liu Si recognized her voice and hurriedly came forward to greet her, but he felt secretly bitter in his heart. It turned out that he saw a young nephew who was just a baby. Although he was well-organized in everything he said, It is quite powerful, but after all, I am from my family. I came to Zhuangzi today, which is a town. The young master of my family cannot interfere in the affairs of the village at will. Just like the rent-grubbing incident of Mr. Li Zhuangtou, my nephew The young master did not dare to reach out and take care of it, so Liu Si just respected the young nephew, but was not very afraid in his heart.
As soon as these words came out, Liu Si's expression also changed, but he was mature and soon put on a smile and said: "It's the Dragon King who shows his favor, and it's also the big guys who show their love. Everything has been going well in the past few years, little old man." I have also saved some money. No, I just built these three houses and two thatched houses. I am really exhausted. I am old and can no longer work. How can I have such good luck as Li Zhuangtou? If you have a spare wallet, you can go down to a forest in Qingyuan Mountain. It’s a good place. It also produces some dates and pears, as well as firewood, and occasionally you can collect some herbs. Although the money is not much, it is a good place to work without interruption every day. A windfall, Mr. Li Zhuangtou, don’t you think so?”
Hua Zhuo looked calmly, took a breath, and continued: "As for the young crop tax, my aunt is sitting here, so you don't have to bully me for being ignorant. This tax has always been shared half by the master and the tenant farmers. As for the Yamen, when it comes to big In disaster years, there will be some reductions. If the disaster is so severe this year, there will definitely be reductions and reductions next year. It will not make you unable to afford it. As for headaches and brain fever, please ask the doctor to take medicine. I will make a decision. Next year, every Zhuangzi will ask for one. A doctor will sit in for a consultation, and my Hua family will pay for the consultation. As for the money for medicine, there are a lot of herbal medicines on Qingyuan Mountain, so I think it will work if I go up to the mountain and dig it myself."
After weighing for a moment, Li Zhuangtou bowed his head and made a gesture of leading the way. No matter what he says now, it is wrong, and it is better not to say it.
"My nephew, my young nephew, my home is at the west end of Zhuangzi. Please come this way."
As expected, Mrs. Wang was so angry that she looked like a cat that had stepped on its tail. She bared her teeth and claws and said: "Li, what are you talking about? Why did my man provoke you? You ruined him like this and called us thieves. Damn you." The whole family is the thief. I don’t know how much of the rent paid to the master’s family every year has been stolen by you. Young nephew, go to the Li family and have a look. In the entire village, he is the only one who has built five rooms with blue bricks. Big tile-roofed house, everyone is farming the same land, how can he have the money to build such a good house... "
Li Sanmiao was so angry that he turned blue, but when he saw the second housekeeper suddenly glared at him, he was frightened. Then he remembered that there was a young lady who made the decision for him, so why should he get entangled with a shrew? These two people are still working on Zhuangzi. After today, there are many ways to deal with them.
As soon as these words came out, Liu Si's expression also changed, but he was mature and soon put on a smile and said: "It's the Dragon King who shows his favor, and it's also the big guys who show their love.

A windfall, Mr. Li Zhuangtou, don’t you think so?”
The second housekeeper dusted off the dust on his sleeves and said calmly: "What are you telling me to do? My nephew is here, just argue with him."
"Mr. Liu, you are coming too." Hua Zhuo put her hands behind her back. She often saw Du Hong doing this, which was very manly. "Second housekeeper, please bring a few people to stay and watch Wang Ci's head before going out." I won’t ask if there is any mistake, you can just explain it to my fourth uncle.”
Hua Zhuo looked calmly, took a breath, and continued: "As for the young crop tax, my aunt is sitting here, so you don't have to bully me for being ignorant.

After weighing for a moment, Li Zhuangtou bowed his head and made a gesture of leading the way. No matter what he says now, it is wrong, and it is better not to say it.
What she said was too strong, so Li Zhuangtou was just fine. After all, he was not a tenant farmer, but a domestic slave of the Hua family. His family owned dozens of acres of land, and even covered a forest in Qingyuan Mountain, so he didn’t have to pay any bills. Rent, but Mr. Liu put on a sad face and sighed: "Young nephew, it is really not the tenant farmers who want to cause trouble. It is true that after paying enough rent, everyone will not be able to live. Seeing that there will be more Two months is the New Year's Eve. It's time to give gifts and build houses and walls. There is no need to spend money. In the spring of next year, the Yamen will come to collect the young crop tax. Not to mention that people cannot prevent people from eating whole grains. It is inevitable that they will have a headache and a fever. Please ask the doctor to take medicine. , it’s also an expense…”
"Little... young nephew, young nephew, please listen to my explanation..."
Hua Zhuo acted like she was about to talk about business, and everyone else looked at her and stepped out knowingly. Apart from her, Li and Liu, there were only Aunt Shuangcheng, Qiqiao and Baxiu left in the room. Girl.

If Li Zhuangtou has something evil in his heart, wait for my fourth uncle. Come on, it’s not too late to explain.”
Li Sanmiao was so excited that she reacted and ran home, rushing to remind her mother-in-law to be careful about what she said and not to say anything she shouldn't.
The second housekeeper responded and still stood behind calmly. He just didn't care how the young lady handled the affairs of the village, but he was interested in weighing her.
The second housekeeper's eyes shrank, then he bent down and said, "Yes."
As a group of people stepped into Li Sanmiao's home, his mother-in-law had already tidied up everything and came out with a smile on her face. She greeted her with gifts and offered her support, and invited Aunt Shuangcheng and Hua Zhuo into the main house. Sitting there, serving tea and water, very enthusiastic.
As she said that, she glanced at Aunt Shuangcheng again.
"What Mr. Liu said is wrong. When giving gifts during the New Year, if you have money, give more, and if you don't have money, give less. Everyone knows what kind of year it is now. Are there any relatives who would complain that you don't give enough? Apart from other things, my Hua family will not accept your gifts this year.

"My nephew, my young nephew, my home is at the west end of Zhuangzi. Please come this way."
"My nephew, my young nephew, my home is at the west end of Zhuangzi. Please come this way."
Hua Zhuo looked at him deeply and said nothing. He turned around and walked back to the carriage. He knocked on the carriage lightly and said, "Auntie, it's okay for now. You are bored in the carriage. Follow me to Lizhuang." Let’s take a rest at Tou’s house, have a cup of tea, and wait for fourth uncle to come.”
"Li Zhuangtou, Mr. Liu will stay, and everyone else should leave."
"What Mr. Liu said is wrong. When giving gifts during the New Year, if you have money, give more, and if you don't have money, give less. Everyone knows what kind of year it is now.

Aunt Shuangcheng was already waiting anxiously in the car. She had not seen Hua Zhuo send someone to report that she was safe. She already regretted that she should not let Hua Zhuo face the tenants alone, but she was also afraid that she would damage Hua Zhuo if she got out of the car now. When Zhuo Zhuo was thinking about his plan, he suddenly heard Hua Zhuo's voice outside the carriage. He felt a big stone falling in his heart. He quickly put on his hat, lifted the curtain and got out of the car.
"Little... young nephew, are you okay?"
Aunt Shuangcheng was all focused on Hua Zhuo at this time, and she didn't care about Liu Si. She ignored him. Liu Si took the opportunity to take a few steps back, poked Li Sanmiao in the waist, and whispered: " Why don't you hurry up and call your mother-in-law out to greet your aunt?"
"Mr. Liu, you are coming too." Hua Zhuo put her hands behind her back. She often saw Du Hong doing this, which was very manly. "Second housekeeper, please bring a few people to stay and watch Wang Ci's head before going out." I won’t ask if there is any mistake, you can just explain it to my fourth uncle.”
"Little... young nephew, are you okay?"
"shrew."
"Little... young nephew, are you okay?"
Hua Zhuo pursed his lips. As expected, a man who can be the head of a village is not a fuel-efficient lamp. This Li Sanmiao has an honest look, but the words he speaks also go straight to the core of people's hearts.
As a group of people stepped into Li Sanmiao's home, his mother-in-law had already tidied up everything and came out with a smile on her face. She greeted her with gifts and offered her support, and invited Aunt Shuangcheng and Hua Zhuo into the main house. Sitting there, serving tea and water, very enthusiastic.
She pulled Hua Zhuo to look left and right, and then breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that there was nothing unusual.
But at this time, when Aunt Shuangcheng came, she realized that it was no wonder that the young nephew did not pursue Li Zhuangtou's matter. It turned out that the backhand was here. If Aunt Shuangcheng asked about something, it would be a big deal. Big hair.
Li Sanmiao was so excited that she reacted and ran home, rushing to remind her mother-in-law to be careful about what she said and not to say anything she shouldn't.
"It turns out that my aunt is here too."
The second housekeeper responded and still stood behind calmly. He just didn't care how the young lady handled the affairs of the village, but he was interested in weighing her.
"Why?" Mrs. Wang screamed, put her hands on her hips and said, "If Li Zhuangtou hadn't locked my man in the cowshed, how could he have been injured by the cow? I am justified in smashing his things. Why? Why should I compensate him? Don’t even think about it!”
"Li Zhuangtou, Mr. Liu will stay, and everyone else should leave."
As expected, Mrs. Wang was so angry that she looked like a cat that had stepped on its tail. She bared her teeth and claws and said: "Li, what are you talking about? Why did my man provoke you?

"Li Zhuangtou, Mr. Liu will stay, and everyone else should leave."
After weighing for a moment, Li Zhuangtou bowed his head and made a gesture of leading the way. No matter what he says now, it is wrong, and it is better not to say it.
But at this time, when Aunt Shuangcheng came, she realized that it was no wonder that the young nephew did not pursue Li Zhuangtou's matter. It turned out that the backhand was here. If Aunt Shuangcheng asked about something, it would be a big deal. Big hair.
Hua Zhuo acted like she was about to talk about business, and everyone else looked at her and stepped out knowingly. Apart from her, Li and Liu, there were only Aunt Shuangcheng, Qiqiao and Baxiu left in the room. Girl.
"Second Butler, Zhuangzi is a long way away. Please make arrangements and order someone to pick up Dr. Xu."
Hua Zhuo looked at him deeply and said nothing. He turned around and walked back to the carriage. He knocked on the carriage lightly and said, "Auntie, it's okay for now. You are bored in the carriage. Follow me to Lizhuang." Let’s take a rest at Tou’s house, have a cup of tea, and wait for fourth uncle to come.”
"Li Zhuangtou, Mr. Liu Clan, regarding the renting matter, our Hua family has taken a step back and reduced it to half. How to tell the tenants? It is your business. My aunt and I only look at the results. If we leave Zhuangzi today If you can't handle this before, then let's just drop the rent reduction and do whatever you want to do in the future. Before the end of the year, the rent cannot be less, otherwise, it will be done according to the agreement in the tenancy contract. When the time comes, don’t blame me, the Hua family, for being unkind.”
Hua Zhuo said a few words lightly, but Li Sanmiao even got his vest soaked through. He wanted to say something again, but he didn't dare to say it, otherwise he would really have a ghost in his heart. But if he didn't say a word, his Zhuangtou would still be worried. Whether I can continue doing it or not is a matter of two minds.
The second housekeeper dusted off the dust on his sleeves and said calmly: "What are you telling me to do? My nephew is here, just argue with him."
Hua Zhuo acted like she was about to talk about business, and everyone else looked at her and stepped out knowingly. Apart from her, Li and Liu, there were only Aunt Shuangcheng, Qiqiao and Baxiu left in the room. Girl.
What she said was too strong, so Li Zhuangtou was just fine. After all, he was not a tenant farmer, but a domestic slave of the Hua family. His family owned dozens of acres of land, and even covered a forest in Qingyuan Mountain, so he didn’t have to pay any bills. Rent, but Mr. Liu put on a sad face and sighed: "Young nephew, it is really not the tenant farmers who want to cause trouble. It is true that after paying enough rent, everyone will not be able to live. Seeing that there will be more Two months is the New Year's Eve. It's time to give gifts and build houses and walls. There is no need to spend money. In the spring of next year, the Yamen will come to collect the young crop tax. Not to mention that people cannot prevent people from eating whole grains. It is inevitable that they will have a headache and a fever. Please ask the doctor to take medicine. , it’s also an expense…”
"My nephew, my young nephew, my home is at the west end of Zhuangzi. Please come this way."
Hua Zhuo pursed his lips. As expected, a man who can be the head of a village is not a fuel-efficient lamp. This Li Sanmiao has an honest look, but the words he speaks also go straight to the core of people's hearts.
Hua Zhuo said a few words lightly, but Li Sanmiao even got his vest soaked through. He wanted to say something again, but he didn't dare to say it, otherwise he would really have a ghost in his heart. But if he didn't say a word, his Zhuangtou would still be worried. Whether I can continue doing it or not is a matter of two minds.
Thinking of this, he stood up and said: "Young nephew, this villain is also at fault. If I had known that Wang Zatou was arrogant and could not even look at a cow, he should have been locked up in the hut. This compensation The villain doesn't want it anymore, he considers himself unlucky, and the villain dare not accept the money from this kind of people, and he is afraid of pricking his hands if he takes it, and he may be missed by a thief one day."

Li Sanmiao was startled, and quickly turned to Hua Zhuo. Before he could speak, Hua Zhuo stood up slowly, looked at him with a half-smile, and said, "You don't want compensation, and I won't be too troublesome. I've been making trouble for a long time. , I was also tired, so I went to Li Zhuangtou’s home to have a rest and wait for my fourth uncle to come. It just so happened that I also took a look at the five large blue brick houses in Li Zhuangtou. I wonder if they were better than the ones in the Liu family’s hometown. So what about three rooms?”
"Little... young nephew, are you okay?"
"Li Zhuangtou, Mr. Liu Clan, regarding the renting matter, our Hua family has taken a step back and reduced it to half. How to tell the tenants? It is your business. My aunt and I only look at the results. If we leave Zhuangzi today If you can't handle this before, then let's just drop the rent reduction and do whatever you want to do in the future. Before the end of the year, the rent cannot be less, otherwise, it will be done according to the agreement in the tenancy contract. When the time comes, don’t blame me, the Hua family, for being unkind.”
"What Mr. Liu said is wrong. When giving gifts during the New Year, if you have money, give more, and if you don't have money, give less. Everyone knows what kind of year it is now. Are there any relatives who would complain that you don't give enough? Apart from other things, my Hua family will not accept your gifts this year. If you are really sorry and send a few grain stalks, my Hua family will only regard it as a gift rather than a friendship, and will never dislike this meager gift."
As she said that, she glanced at Aunt Shuangcheng again.
She pulled Hua Zhuo to look left and right, and then breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that there was nothing unusual.
Hua Zhuo acted like she was about to talk about business, and everyone else looked at her and stepped out knowingly. Apart from her, Li and Liu, there were only Aunt Shuangcheng, Qiqiao and Baxiu left in the room. Girl.
Hua Zhuo looked calmly, took a breath, and continued: "As for the young crop tax, my aunt is sitting here, so you don't have to bully me for being ignorant. This tax has always been shared half by the master and the tenant farmers. As for the Yamen, when it comes to big In disaster years, there will be some reductions. If the disaster is so severe this year, there will definitely be reductions and reductions next year. It will not make you unable to afford it. As for headaches and brain fever, please ask the doctor to take medicine. I will make a decision. Next year, every Zhuangzi will ask for one. A doctor will sit in for a consultation, and my Hua family will pay for the consultation. As for the money for medicine, there are a lot of herbal medicines on Qingyuan Mountain, so I think it will work if I go up to the mountain and dig it myself."
Hua Zhuo said a few words lightly, but Li Sanmiao even got his vest soaked through. He wanted to say something again, but he didn't dare to say it, otherwise he would really have a ghost in his heart. But if he didn't say a word, his Zhuangtou would still be worried.

"Mr. Liu, you are coming too." Hua Zhuo put her hands behind her back. She often saw Du Hong doing this, which was very manly. "Second housekeeper, please bring a few people to stay and watch Wang Ci's head before going out." I won’t ask if there is any mistake, you can just explain it to my fourth uncle.”

You are bored in the carriage. Follow me to Lizhuang." Let’s take a rest at Tou’s house, have a cup of tea, and wait for fourth uncle to come.”
Li Sanmiao's face turned even uglier.
Aunt Shuangcheng understood and said: "Mr. Liu, Rong'an Hall has always treated people generously. Over the years, I have treated the tenants in Zhuangzi quite benevolently. There is a funeral in Zhuangzi, and the master's family has all had members. The tenants If we have any difficulties, my wife will help as much as possible. She will never feel sorry for you. Mr. Liu, you are also an old man. You should know that rent reduction is not something that my Hua family can do. You are in charge. Now that my nephew has patted his chest and agreed to half the rent for you, he has already done his best. If you push further, you will go too far."
Li Sanmiao was startled, and quickly turned to Hua Zhuo. Before he could speak, Hua Zhuo stood up slowly, looked at him with a half-smile, and said, "You don't want compensation, and I won't be too troublesome. I've been making trouble for a long time. , I was also tired, so I went to Li Zhuangtou’s home to have a rest and wait for my fourth uncle to come. It just so happened that I also took a look at the five large blue brick houses in Li Zhuangtou. I wonder if they were better than the ones in the Liu family’s hometown. So what about three rooms?”
After Doctor Guan left, Hua Zhuo looked at Madam Wang again and said, "Madam Wang, the man in your family took the lead in making trouble. He was already wrong, but he was injured by my Hua family's cow. I also invited a doctor. , I gave you the medical expenses and housing expenses together, but if you smashed Li Zhuangtou’s belongings, you still have to compensate according to the price.”
