After dinner, Hua Zhuo left Shuangcheng's aunt behind, saying she was going to eat, but actually she took two girls and Ah Fu with her and walked around the village. Some children in the village gathered together to play in groups of three or five. When they saw their group from a distance, they dispersed in a coaxing manner. A few bold ones hid behind the trees and peeked out to watch. They were wearing clothes, shoes and hats, and their eyes were full of envy, but they were afraid of Ah Fu's round waist and strong body, so they didn't dare to run over.
After all, Hua Zhuo felt guilty and followed Hua Xu to the grain drying field. He didn't dare to get too close, so he simply pulled Qiqiao and Baxiu and hid behind a pile of grain. He saw Hua Xu standing there. , there was silence in the grain drying field, only the father's deep and solemn voice slowly floated above the grain drying field.
Li Zhuangtou didn't say anything, but had a troubled look on his face. Mr. Liu looked at her and then at Hua Xu, the serious master of the house, as if he didn't know whether to answer or not.
Hua Xu blew his beard and glared: "She is the eldest daughter of Rong'an Hall. Something happened to Zhuangzi and her parents were inconvenienced. She should step forward. Regardless of whether the matter was handled properly or not, if word spreads, it will make me, Hua Xu, look good. Now With such a sneaky and deceitful appearance, do you think those people in Zhuangzi are all blind and can't see her as a daughter?"
Hua Zhuo had no intention of paying attention to them at this time, and just looked around to observe the situation on Zhuangzi.
Hua Zhuo walked over and called out loudly, which made Hua Xu stunned. He looked at him for a while and then said with a straight face: "Okay, you're fine..."
"However, in this time of crisis, we should share the joys and sorrows... I treat others with sincerity, and I also hope that others will treat me with sincerity. The sage said, repay evil with kindness, how can you repay kindness? You should repay hatred with straightness, and repay kindness with kindness. Today everyone is with me. The family shares the joys and sorrows, and will be rewarded with virtue in the future. Today, everyone repays kindness with grievances. In the future, our Hua family will inherit the teachings of the saints and repay grievances directly... I hope everyone will think carefully... What are the calculations, and we should make a decision... "
Giving both kindness and power, could this be the true meaning of the four-character motto given to her by her mother. Her mother gave her four words of motto, but her father appeared in front of her and taught her through words and deeds.
Hua Zhuo shrank his head, eagerly grabbed Hua Xu's sleeve and said, "I'll go too."
"snort!"
"Huh?"
Hua Zhuo hurriedly climbed up the pole and immediately responded, saying: "What my aunt said is, daddy, my daughter is still young and she has done something wrong. All you have to do is teach me. Don't show off your face. My daughter feels good." Panic…”
However, in the very center of Zhuangzi, there is a single-door courtyard with four words written on the door: Rong'an Shanzhai. At first glance, you can tell that this is a villa built by the family on Zhuangzi. However, there are only a few Chinese people, and no one usually lives here. Only Li Zhuangtou and his family are helping to take care of it, that is, weeding and sweeping. Dust or something. The door is not open on weekdays, but it was still locked at this time.
This year, the entire Nanping County has been hit by disasters, and Huainan Prefecture is not the worst. Although the weather has been smooth in the past few years, it cannot withstand a famine. Most of the men were recruited by Li Zhuangtou and the Liu clan elders to discuss the grain drying field. The rent reduction was over. At this time, besides children, the only people outside were women. Most of the women had sad faces. She walked around and found that those who could build large blue-brick houses on the village had no choice but to build houses with bricks and tiles. The two families of Zhuangtou and the Liu clan, and other houses are still thatched houses with mud walls. Some houses even have cracks more than an inch long. This shows that most tenant farmers are still living a tight life and cannot afford to repair their houses. .
"No one has lived here for many years. It's weird. Even my mother ended up at Li Zhuangtou when she came to Zhuangzi. Forget it."
"What if?"

Only Li Zhuangtou and his family are helping to take care of it, that is, weeding and sweeping. Dust or something. The door is not open on weekdays, but it was still locked at this time.
Hua Zhuo's eyes widened. It turns out that his father is not a pure gentleman. Listening to these words, every word is very important. Even though all the tenant farmers are a little thoughtful, they are still honest farmers at heart. So many people gathered together. Here, it is not as strong as Hua Xu alone. After a few words, he was so suppressed that he did not dare to raise his head.
Hua Zhuo hurriedly climbed up the pole and immediately responded, saying: "What my aunt said is, daddy, my daughter is still young and she has done something wrong. All you have to do is teach me. Don't show off your face. My daughter feels good." Panic…”
Hua Xu snorted, pulled back his sleeves, put them behind him, and walked forward. The second housekeeper and Mr. Liu quickly followed him to the grain drying field. Most of the tenant farmers on Zhuangzi were still gathering in the grain drying field, talking about it. When they saw the master of the house coming, they were still wearing the same clothes. Official uniforms. Since ancient times, there are few people who are not afraid of meeting officials. They suddenly became three points shorter. Remembering what Li Zhuangtou and Liu Clan had previously advised them, the master’s family was only willing to reduce the rent by half, so they should accept it as soon as they see fit. , otherwise the owner would break up with them, and the fish basket would be in vain, and his heart would suddenly feel empty again.
"Fourth uncle."
"... There has been a lot of housework recently, and Zhuo Jing is not in good health, so he has missed the Zhuangzi meeting... The little girl has just taken charge of the housework, and she is immature and ignorant, so she handles it improperly... Unexpectedly, such a disaster happened, but fortunately, there is no fear of life... Rent reduction Mr. Hua will be responsible for the matter... I will make sure that everyone is satisfied... It is an agreement among all the families in Huainan Prefecture, and my Hua family cannot lower the rent without authorization. If everyone still trusts Mr. Hua, and waits for a few more days, they will definitely get it through to the other families. Let’s lower the rent together…”
She smiled without looking scared at all. She turned to look at Li Zhuangtou and Mr. Liu, and asked, "A half-percent rent reduction, have the tenant farmers agreed?"
"Ah, it turns out there is a separate courtyard for our family here. Miss, why don't you go inside and have a rest? It's really unseemly to stay at Li Zhuangtou's house." Baxiu muttered.
Li Zhuangtou could only sigh and followed helplessly. There is a master on one side and a young lady on the other. He can't afford to offend either of them. Even though the young lady is as docile as a cat in front of the master, she is really powerful when the master is not here. Even an old guy like Liu Si, Everyone is submissive, and the young lady may have the final say in matters concerning Zhuangzi in the future.
Hua Zhuo sat on the grain pile, hugging her knees, looking at her father's calm figure. The smile gradually spread on her face. She truly felt the happy life of her parents at home, being cared for, cared for, and loved by. She placed high hopes on him and was taught everything. What she didn't cherish in the previous life, she regarded as a treasure in this life.
Li Zhuangtou stayed where he was, looking at Hua Zhuo hesitantly. Before he could speak, Hua Zhuo waved his hand and said, "Look what I'm going to do. Why don't you follow my father... uh, follow my fourth uncle..."
Hua Xu blew his beard and glared: "She is the eldest daughter of Rong'an Hall. Something happened to Zhuangzi and her parents were inconvenienced. She should step forward. Regardless of whether the matter was handled properly or not, if word spreads, it will make me, Hua Xu, look good.

Even an old guy like Liu Si, Everyone is submissive, and the young lady may have the final say in matters concerning Zhuangzi in the future.
On the carriage, Hua Zhuo was sitting upright and kneeling in front of Hua Xu, with an expression on his face that said, "I know I'm wrong." Qiqiao and Baxiu huddled in the corner, not daring to breathe, and Aunt Shuangcheng didn't even look at her head. lift it up.
"No one has lived here for many years. It's weird. Even my mother ended up at Li Zhuangtou when she came to Zhuangzi. Forget it."
"snort!"
Hua Xu scolded lowly, then looked solemn and said: "Li Zhuangtou, open the door of Rongan Shanzhai, send aunt and... the young master to go in and have a rest. Second housekeeper, Mr. Liu, let's go to the grain drying field."
Li Zhuangtou stayed where he was, looking at Hua Zhuo hesitantly. Before he could speak, Hua Zhuo waved his hand and said, "Look what I'm going to do. Why don't you follow my father... uh, follow my fourth uncle..."
Hua Xu glared at her again, but his expression finally softened.
Hua Zhuo sat on the grain pile, hugging her knees, looking at her father's calm figure. The smile gradually spread on her face. She truly felt the happy life of her parents at home, being cared for, cared for, and loved by. She placed high hopes on him and was taught everything.

"Nonsense!"
Hua Zhuo was not interested. She knew about this villa. In her last life, after the family suffered a disaster, her father was arrested and the Huafu mansion was sealed. Her mother and Aunt Shuangcheng took her and her brother to move here. Finally, it was here. In a villa, she lost her mother, and her aunt also died here. The refugees swarmed in and robbed everything that could be taken away from the villa. If she hadn't been able to make the final decision now, seeing this house The first time she saw the other courtyard, she wanted to tear it down.
Hua Zhuo blinked. Wasn't his father angry because she came to Zhuangzi without permission? He seemed to be angry that he did not come to Zhuangzi as a young lady from the Hua family.
"But... Master, he..." Li Zhuangtou did not dare to take a step.
However, in the very center of Zhuangzi, there is a single-door courtyard with four words written on the door: Rong'an Shanzhai. At first glance, you can tell that this is a villa built by the family on Zhuangzi. However, there are only a few Chinese people, and no one usually lives here. Only Li Zhuangtou and his family are helping to take care of it, that is, weeding and sweeping. Dust or something. The door is not open on weekdays, but it was still locked at this time.
After walking half a circle in the village, a guard hurried over and reported: "Young nephew, I have arrived at the village and am talking to the second housekeeper."
After dinner, Hua Zhuo left Shuangcheng's aunt behind, saying she was going to eat, but actually she took two girls and Ah Fu with her and walked around the village. Some children in the village gathered together to play in groups of three or five. When they saw their group from a distance, they dispersed in a coaxing manner. A few bold ones hid behind the trees and peeked out to watch. They were wearing clothes, shoes and hats, and their eyes were full of envy, but they were afraid of Ah Fu's round waist and strong body, so they didn't dare to run over.

"Fourth uncle."
"snort!"
Hua Xu didn't stay long, and left the finishing work to the second housekeeper. He took Aunt Shuangcheng and Hua Zhuo back, rushing to return to Huainan Mansion before the city gate closed.
"What if?"
Hua Zhuo squinted, quickened his pace, and walked to Liu Si's home. At a glance, he saw his father and the second housekeeper standing by the fence talking. They were still wearing official uniforms. It could be seen that they had just escaped from the yamen and rushed there immediately. Come over.
This year, the entire Nanping County has been hit by disasters, and Huainan Prefecture is not the worst. Although the weather has been smooth in the past few years, it cannot withstand a famine.

Li Zhuangtou and Mr. Liu Clan stood aside with their hands down bent, not daring to breathe.
"Fourth uncle."
"Ah, it turns out there is a separate courtyard for our family here. Miss, why don't you go inside and have a rest? It's really unseemly to stay at Li Zhuangtou's house." Baxiu muttered.

Hua Zhuo stood behind Hua Xu with an expression that said, I don't care anyway. She knew that she had insufficient authority, and the real decision had to be made by her father. However, her father and the second housekeeper murmured for a while, and the situation in the village was roughly the same. After asking clearly, she felt that her father would agree with her decision, so she simply let go.

"Ah, it turns out there is a separate courtyard for our family here. Miss, why don't you go inside and have a rest? It's really unseemly to stay at Li Zhuangtou's house." Baxiu muttered.
The matter was settled satisfactorily. Faced with Hua Xu's official uniform, the tenants did not say a word in the end, and calmly accepted the fact that the rent was reduced by half. No one dared to say anything more, and the owner was willing to reduce the rent. , they have already taken advantage of it.
Hua Zhuo twisted around uneasily. Listening to what her father said, it seemed that she had indeed gone astray before.
"snort!"
Hua Xu scolded lowly, then looked solemn and said: "Li Zhuangtou, open the door of Rongan Shanzhai, send aunt and... the young master to go in and have a rest. Second housekeeper, Mr. Liu, let's go to the grain drying field."

If everyone still trusts Mr. Hua, and waits for a few more days, they will definitely get it through to the other families. Let’s lower the rent together…”
"Huh?"
Li Zhuangtou stayed where he was, looking at Hua Zhuo hesitantly. Before he could speak, Hua Zhuo waved his hand and said, "Look what I'm going to do. Why don't you follow my father... uh, follow my fourth uncle..."
The matter was settled satisfactorily. Faced with Hua Xu's official uniform, the tenants did not say a word in the end, and calmly accepted the fact that the rent was reduced by half. No one dared to say anything more, and the owner was willing to reduce the rent. , they have already taken advantage of it.
Li Zhuangtou could only sigh and followed helplessly. There is a master on one side and a young lady on the other. He can't afford to offend either of them. Even though the young lady is as docile as a cat in front of the master, she is really powerful when the master is not here. Even an old guy like Liu Si, Everyone is submissive, and the young lady may have the final say in matters concerning Zhuangzi in the future.
Hua Xu didn't stay long, and left the finishing work to the second housekeeper. He took Aunt Shuangcheng and Hua Zhuo back, rushing to return to Huainan Mansion before the city gate closed.
"snort!"
"Thank you Fourth Uncle for the compliment."
Hua Zhuo shrank his head, eagerly grabbed Hua Xu's sleeve and said, "I'll go too."
Hua Zhuo had no intention of paying attention to them at this time, and just looked around to observe the situation on Zhuangzi.
"Nonsense!"
She rubbed the back of her head in embarrassment. She was a little flustered by her father's hum and almost said the wrong thing without paying attention. Fortunately, there was only Li Zhuangtou in the fence.
Hua Xu glared at her again, but his expression finally softened.
Hua Zhuo's eyes widened. It turns out that his father is not a pure gentleman. Listening to these words, every word is very important. Even though all the tenant farmers are a little thoughtful, they are still honest farmers at heart. So many people gathered together. Here, it is not as strong as Hua Xu alone. After a few words, he was so suppressed that he did not dare to raise his head.
"But... Master, he..." Li Zhuangtou did not dare to take a step.
Giving both kindness and power, could this be the true meaning of the four-character motto given to her by her mother. Her mother gave her four words of motto, but her father appeared in front of her and taught her through words and deeds.
Aunt Shuangcheng could no longer keep her head down, so she quickly explained to her softly: "Master, Miss, she is also concerned about her reputation, and is afraid of what might happen..."
That's right
Hua Xu scolded lowly, then looked solemn and said: "Li Zhuangtou, open the door of Rongan Shanzhai, send aunt and... the young master to go in and have a rest. Second housekeeper, Mr. Liu, let's go to the grain drying field."
Li Zhuangtou and Mr. Liu Clan stood aside with their hands down bent, not daring to breathe.
"Fourth uncle just didn't say not to allow me to follow him." Hua Zhuo shamelessly took Hua Xu's snort as acquiescence, led the two girls and Ah Fu, and chased after Hua Xu.
"After all, the young lady is still young. If she does everything carefully, I'm afraid I will worry about her being too old." Aunt Shuangcheng argued in a low voice again.
Hua Zhuo squinted, quickened his pace, and walked to Liu Si's home. At a glance, he saw his father and the second housekeeper standing by the fence talking. They were still wearing official uniforms. It could be seen that they had just escaped from the yamen and rushed there immediately. Come over.
Li Zhuangtou could only sigh and followed helplessly. There is a master on one side and a young lady on the other. He can't afford to offend either of them. Even though the young lady is as docile as a cat in front of the master, she is really powerful when the master is not here. Even an old guy like Liu Si, Everyone is submissive, and the young lady may have the final say in matters concerning Zhuangzi in the future.
Hua Xu didn't stay long, and left the finishing work to the second housekeeper. He took Aunt Shuangcheng and Hua Zhuo back, rushing to return to Huainan Mansion before the city gate closed.
"Fourth uncle."
"Ah, it turns out there is a separate courtyard for our family here. Miss, why don't you go inside and have a rest? It's really unseemly to stay at Li Zhuangtou's house." Baxiu muttered.
"... There has been a lot of housework recently, and Zhuo Jing is not in good health, so he has missed the Zhuangzi meeting... The little girl has just taken charge of the housework, and she is immature and ignorant, so she handles it improperly... Unexpectedly, such a disaster happened, but fortunately, there is no fear of life... Rent reduction Mr. Hua will be responsible for the matter... I will make sure that everyone is satisfied... It is an agreement among all the families in Huainan Prefecture, and my Hua family cannot lower the rent without authorization.

"Nonsense!"
Hua Zhuo stood behind Hua Xu with an expression that said, I don't care anyway. She knew that she had insufficient authority, and the real decision had to be made by her father. However, her father and the second housekeeper murmured for a while, and the situation in the village was roughly the same. After asking clearly, she felt that her father would agree with her decision, so she simply let go.
"No one has lived here for many years. It's weird. Even my mother ended up at Li Zhuangtou when she came to Zhuangzi. Forget it."
After all, Hua Zhuo felt guilty and followed Hua Xu to the grain drying field. He didn't dare to get too close, so he simply pulled Qiqiao and Baxiu and hid behind a pile of grain. He saw Hua Xu standing there. , there was silence in the grain drying field, only the father's deep and solemn voice slowly floated above the grain drying field.
"Fourth uncle."
Hua Zhuo's eyes widened. It turns out that his father is not a pure gentleman. Listening to these words, every word is very important. Even though all the tenant farmers are a little thoughtful, they are still honest farmers at heart. So many people gathered together. Here, it is not as strong as Hua Xu alone.

If everyone still trusts Mr. Hua, and waits for a few more days, they will definitely get it through to the other families. Let’s lower the rent together…”
Hua Zhuo twisted around uneasily. Listening to what her father said, it seemed that she had indeed gone astray before.
Hua Xu saw that she was dressed in men's clothing and was very displeased. He snorted loudly and said, "Is the identity of the Miss Hua family so shameful? She disguises herself as a man and pretends to be the young master of the family. She is very courageous."
Hua Zhuo had no intention of paying attention to them at this time, and just looked around to observe the situation on Zhuangzi.
Li Zhuangtou didn't say anything, but had a troubled look on his face. Mr. Liu looked at her and then at Hua Xu, the serious master of the house, as if he didn't know whether to answer or not.
That's right
Hua Xu didn't stay long, and left the finishing work to the second housekeeper. He took Aunt Shuangcheng and Hua Zhuo back, rushing to return to Huainan Mansion before the city gate closed.
Hua Zhuo pouted in dissatisfaction. Her father still had the same gentlemanly temperament, and he actually took the blame for this kind of thing on himself first. However, these words did sound much better than her previous tough words.
"What if?"
"Nonsense!"
Hey hey? This statement sounds... Why does it seem to be a bit threatening
After all, Hua Zhuo felt guilty and followed Hua Xu to the grain drying field. He didn't dare to get too close, so he simply pulled Qiqiao and Baxiu and hid behind a pile of grain. He saw Hua Xu standing there. , there was silence in the grain drying field, only the father's deep and solemn voice slowly floated above the grain drying field.
After dinner, Hua Zhuo left Shuangcheng's aunt behind, saying she was going to eat, but actually she took two girls and Ah Fu with her and walked around the village. Some children in the village gathered together to play in groups of three or five. When they saw their group from a distance, they dispersed in a coaxing manner. A few bold ones hid behind the trees and peeked out to watch. They were wearing clothes, shoes and hats, and their eyes were full of envy, but they were afraid of Ah Fu's round waist and strong body, so they didn't dare to run over.
"However, in this time of crisis, we should share the joys and sorrows... I treat others with sincerity, and I also hope that others will treat me with sincerity. The sage said, repay evil with kindness, how can you repay kindness? You should repay hatred with straightness, and repay kindness with kindness. Today everyone is with me. The family shares the joys and sorrows, and will be rewarded with virtue in the future. Today, everyone repays kindness with grievances. In the future, our Hua family will inherit the teachings of the saints and repay grievances directly... I hope everyone will think carefully... What are the calculations, and we should make a decision... "
However, in the very center of Zhuangzi, there is a single-door courtyard with four words written on the door: Rong'an Shanzhai. At first glance, you can tell that this is a villa built by the family on Zhuangzi. However, there are only a few Chinese people, and no one usually lives here. Only Li Zhuangtou and his family are helping to take care of it, that is, weeding and sweeping. Dust or something. The door is not open on weekdays, but it was still locked at this time.
After all, Hua Zhuo felt guilty and followed Hua Xu to the grain drying field. He didn't dare to get too close, so he simply pulled Qiqiao and Baxiu and hid behind a pile of grain. He saw Hua Xu standing there. , there was silence in the grain drying field, only the father's deep and solemn voice slowly floated above the grain drying field.

Aunt Shuangcheng could no longer keep her head down, so she quickly explained to her softly: "Master, Miss, she is also concerned about her reputation, and is afraid of what might happen..."
On the carriage, Hua Zhuo was sitting upright and kneeling in front of Hua Xu, with an expression on his face that said, "I know I'm wrong." Qiqiao and Baxiu huddled in the corner, not daring to breathe, and Aunt Shuangcheng didn't even look at her head. lift it up.
This year, the entire Nanping County has been hit by disasters, and Huainan Prefecture is not the worst. Although the weather has been smooth in the past few years, it cannot withstand a famine. Most of the men were recruited by Li Zhuangtou and the Liu clan elders to discuss the grain drying field. The rent reduction was over. At this time, besides children, the only people outside were women. Most of the women had sad faces. She walked around and found that those who could build large blue-brick houses on the village had no choice but to build houses with bricks and tiles. The two families of Zhuangtou and the Liu clan, and other houses are still thatched houses with mud walls. Some houses even have cracks more than an inch long. This shows that most tenant farmers are still living a tight life and cannot afford to repair their houses. .

Hua Zhuo pouted in dissatisfaction. Her father still had the same gentlemanly temperament, and he actually took the blame for this kind of thing on himself first. However, these words did sound much better than her previous tough words.

"snort!"
She was in a daze.
Hua Zhuo sat on the grain pile, hugging her knees, looking at her father's calm figure. The smile gradually spread on her face. She truly felt the happy life of her parents at home, being cared for, cared for, and loved by. She placed high hopes on him and was taught everything. What she didn't cherish in the previous life, she regarded as a treasure in this life.
Li Zhuangtou stayed where he was, looking at Hua Zhuo hesitantly. Before he could speak, Hua Zhuo waved his hand and said, "Look what I'm going to do. Why don't you follow my father... uh, follow my fourth uncle..."

Hua Zhuo blinked. Wasn't his father angry because she came to Zhuangzi without permission? He seemed to be angry that he did not come to Zhuangzi as a young lady from the Hua family.
"snort!"
On the carriage, Hua Zhuo was sitting upright and kneeling in front of Hua Xu, with an expression on his face that said, "I know I'm wrong." Qiqiao and Baxiu huddled in the corner, not daring to breathe, and Aunt Shuangcheng didn't even look at her head. lift it up.

Hua Xu scolded lowly, then looked solemn and said: "Li Zhuangtou, open the door of Rongan Shanzhai, send aunt and... the young master to go in and have a rest. Second housekeeper, Mr. Liu, let's go to the grain drying field."
"snort!"
"But... Master, he..." Li Zhuangtou did not dare to take a step.
"Ah, it turns out there is a separate courtyard for our family here. Miss, why don't you go inside and have a rest? It's really unseemly to stay at Li Zhuangtou's house." Baxiu muttered.
"After all, the young lady is still young. If she does everything carefully, I'm afraid I will worry about her being too old." Aunt Shuangcheng argued in a low voice again.
Hua Xu saw that she was dressed in men's clothing and was very displeased. He snorted loudly and said, "Is the identity of the Miss Hua family so shameful? She disguises herself as a man and pretends to be the young master of the family. She is very courageous."
Li Zhuangtou could only sigh and followed helplessly. There is a master on one side and a young lady on the other. He can't afford to offend either of them. Even though the young lady is as docile as a cat in front of the master, she is really powerful when the master is not here. Even an old guy like Liu Si, Everyone is submissive, and the young lady may have the final say in matters concerning Zhuangzi in the future.
Hua Zhuo was not interested. She knew about this villa. In her last life, after the family suffered a disaster, her father was arrested and the Huafu mansion was sealed. Her mother and Aunt Shuangcheng took her and her brother to move here. Finally, it was here. In a villa, she lost her mother, and her aunt also died here. The refugees swarmed in and robbed everything that could be taken away from the villa. If she hadn't been able to make the final decision now, seeing this house The first time she saw the other courtyard, she wanted to tear it down.
Hua Xu saw that she was dressed in men's clothing and was very displeased. He snorted loudly and said, "Is the identity of the Miss Hua family so shameful? She disguises herself as a man and pretends to be the young master of the family. She is very courageous."
"Huh?"
Hua Xu snorted, pulled back his sleeves, put them behind him, and walked forward. The second housekeeper and Mr. Liu quickly followed him to the grain drying field. Most of the tenant farmers on Zhuangzi were still gathering in the grain drying field, talking about it. When they saw the master of the house coming, they were still wearing the same clothes. Official uniforms. Since ancient times, there are few people who are not afraid of meeting officials. They suddenly became three points shorter. Remembering what Li Zhuangtou and Liu Clan had previously advised them, the master’s family was only willing to reduce the rent by half, so they should accept it as soon as they see fit. , otherwise the owner would break up with them, and the fish basket would be in vain, and his heart would suddenly feel empty again.
"After all, the young lady is still young. If she does everything carefully, I'm afraid I will worry about her being too old." Aunt Shuangcheng argued in a low voice again.
Hua Zhuo blinked. Wasn't his father angry because she came to Zhuangzi without permission? He seemed to be angry that he did not come to Zhuangzi as a young lady from the Hua family.
Hua Zhuo hurriedly climbed up the pole and immediately responded, saying: "What my aunt said is, daddy, my daughter is still young and she has done something wrong. All you have to do is teach me. Don't show off your face. My daughter feels good." Panic…”
Hua Zhuo walked over and called out loudly, which made Hua Xu stunned. He looked at him for a while and then said with a straight face: "Okay, you're fine..."
"No one has lived here for many years. It's weird. Even my mother ended up at Li Zhuangtou when she came to Zhuangzi. Forget it."
That's right
She was in a daze.
"Huh?"
"However, in this time of crisis, we should share the joys and sorrows... I treat others with sincerity, and I also hope that others will treat me with sincerity.

She smiled without looking scared at all. She turned to look at Li Zhuangtou and Mr. Liu, and asked, "A half-percent rent reduction, have the tenant farmers agreed?"

Hua Xu glared at her again, but his expression finally softened.
She smiled without looking scared at all. She turned to look at Li Zhuangtou and Mr. Liu, and asked, "A half-percent rent reduction, have the tenant farmers agreed?"
Hua Xu blew his beard and glared: "She is the eldest daughter of Rong'an Hall. Something happened to Zhuangzi and her parents were inconvenienced. She should step forward. Regardless of whether the matter was handled properly or not, if word spreads, it will make me, Hua Xu, look good. Now With such a sneaky and deceitful appearance, do you think those people in Zhuangzi are all blind and can't see her as a daughter?"
"Ah, it turns out there is a separate courtyard for our family here. Miss, why don't you go inside and have a rest? It's really unseemly to stay at Li Zhuangtou's house." Baxiu muttered.
"snort!"
Hua Zhuo stood behind Hua Xu with an expression that said, I don't care anyway. She knew that she had insufficient authority, and the real decision had to be made by her father. However, her father and the second housekeeper murmured for a while, and the situation in the village was roughly the same. After asking clearly, she felt that her father would agree with her decision, so she simply let go.
However, in the very center of Zhuangzi, there is a single-door courtyard with four words written on the door: Rong'an Shanzhai. At first glance, you can tell that this is a villa built by the family on Zhuangzi. However, there are only a few Chinese people, and no one usually lives here. Only Li Zhuangtou and his family are helping to take care of it, that is, weeding and sweeping. Dust or something. The door is not open on weekdays, but it was still locked at this time.

Hua Xu snorted, pulled back his sleeves, put them behind him, and walked forward. The second housekeeper and Mr. Liu quickly followed him to the grain drying field. Most of the tenant farmers on Zhuangzi were still gathering in the grain drying field, talking about it. When they saw the master of the house coming, they were still wearing the same clothes. Official uniforms. Since ancient times, there are few people who are not afraid of meeting officials. They suddenly became three points shorter. Remembering what Li Zhuangtou and Liu Clan had previously advised them, the master’s family was only willing to reduce the rent by half, so they should accept it as soon as they see fit. , otherwise the owner would break up with them, and the fish basket would be in vain, and his heart would suddenly feel empty again.
Hua Xu glared at her again, but his expression finally softened.
Li Zhuangtou didn't say anything, but had a troubled look on his face. Mr. Liu looked at her and then at Hua Xu, the serious master of the house, as if he didn't know whether to answer or not.
"After all, the young lady is still young. If she does everything carefully, I'm afraid I will worry about her being too old." Aunt Shuangcheng argued in a low voice again.
She smiled without looking scared at all. She turned to look at Li Zhuangtou and Mr. Liu, and asked, "A half-percent rent reduction, have the tenant farmers agreed?"
Hua Zhuo squinted, quickened his pace, and walked to Liu Si's home. At a glance, he saw his father and the second housekeeper standing by the fence talking. They were still wearing official uniforms. It could be seen that they had just escaped from the yamen and rushed there immediately. Come over.
Hua Zhuo twisted around uneasily. Listening to what her father said, it seemed that she had indeed gone astray before.
"But... Master, he..." Li Zhuangtou did not dare to take a step.
"No one has lived here for many years. It's weird. Even my mother ended up at Li Zhuangtou when she came to Zhuangzi. Forget it."
Hua Zhuo hurriedly climbed up the pole and immediately responded, saying: "What my aunt said is, daddy, my daughter is still young and she has done something wrong. All you have to do is teach me. Don't show off your face. My daughter feels good." Panic…”
Hua Zhuo sat on the grain pile, hugging her knees, looking at her father's calm figure. The smile gradually spread on her face. She truly felt the happy life of her parents at home, being cared for, cared for, and loved by. She placed high hopes on him and was taught everything. What she didn't cherish in the previous life, she regarded as a treasure in this life.
"Ah, it turns out there is a separate courtyard for our family here. Miss, why don't you go inside and have a rest? It's really unseemly to stay at Li Zhuangtou's house." Baxiu muttered.
"Nonsense!"
Aunt Shuangcheng could no longer keep her head down, so she quickly explained to her softly: "Master, Miss, she is also concerned about her reputation, and is afraid of what might happen..."
Hua Zhuo's eyes widened. It turns out that his father is not a pure gentleman. Listening to these words, every word is very important. Even though all the tenant farmers are a little thoughtful, they are still honest farmers at heart. So many people gathered together. Here, it is not as strong as Hua Xu alone. After a few words, he was so suppressed that he did not dare to raise his head.
On the carriage, Hua Zhuo was sitting upright and kneeling in front of Hua Xu, with an expression on his face that said, "I know I'm wrong." Qiqiao and Baxiu huddled in the corner, not daring to breathe, and Aunt Shuangcheng didn't even look at her head. lift it up.
Hua Xu glared at her again, but his expression finally softened.
Hey hey? This statement sounds... Why does it seem to be a bit threatening
After dinner, Hua Zhuo left Shuangcheng's aunt behind, saying she was going to eat, but actually she took two girls and Ah Fu with her and walked around the village. Some children in the village gathered together to play in groups of three or five. When they saw their group from a distance, they dispersed in a coaxing manner. A few bold ones hid behind the trees and peeked out to watch. They were wearing clothes, shoes and hats, and their eyes were full of envy, but they were afraid of Ah Fu's round waist and strong body, so they didn't dare to run over.
Giving both kindness and power, could this be the true meaning of the four-character motto given to her by her mother. Her mother gave her four words of motto, but her father appeared in front of her and taught her through words and deeds.
She smiled without looking scared at all. She turned to look at Li Zhuangtou and Mr. Liu, and asked, "A half-percent rent reduction, have the tenant farmers agreed?"
However, in the very center of Zhuangzi, there is a single-door courtyard with four words written on the door: Rong'an Shanzhai. At first glance, you can tell that this is a villa built by the family on Zhuangzi. However, there are only a few Chinese people, and no one usually lives here. Only Li Zhuangtou and his family are helping to take care of it, that is, weeding and sweeping. Dust or something. The door is not open on weekdays, but it was still locked at this time.
Li Zhuangtou didn't say anything, but had a troubled look on his face. Mr. Liu looked at her and then at Hua Xu, the serious master of the house, as if he didn't know whether to answer or not.
Hua Zhuo hurriedly climbed up the pole and immediately responded, saying: "What my aunt said is, daddy, my daughter is still young and she has done something wrong. All you have to do is teach me. Don't show off your face. My daughter feels good." Panic…”
"However, in this time of crisis, we should share the joys and sorrows... I treat others with sincerity, and I also hope that others will treat me with sincerity. The sage said, repay evil with kindness, how can you repay kindness? You should repay hatred with straightness, and repay kindness with kindness. Today everyone is with me. The family shares the joys and sorrows, and will be rewarded with virtue in the future. Today, everyone repays kindness with grievances. In the future, our Hua family will inherit the teachings of the saints and repay grievances directly... I hope everyone will think carefully... What are the calculations, and we should make a decision... "
