In order to stop eating ashes, Zhong Qiyuan deliberately waited for the Yun family's car to go far before returning to the road.
The speed of the ox cart was not fast, but luckily the destination was not far from the county seat, and it only took five miles to reach it.
Probably the car of the Yun family appeared first, attracting the attention of most people. When Zhong Qiyuan and Zhong Chuyuan entered Beiweili, only two or three farmers who were resting in the field noticed them.
They had never met Zhong Qiyuan, but Mrs. Meng brought Zhong Chuyuan back every few months to ask for rent, so they recognized this little radish head and asked her, "Miss Zhong, why is it only you who came back this time, your mother? Woolen cloth?"
Xiaoruotou happily introduced Zhong Qiyuan's identity: "This is Yuanyuan's sister!"
They looked at the indifferent little Taoist priest, and they remembered that Zhong's parents and daughters had become monks. The memory is right, but I can't hide my surprise: "Is the little Taoist still vulgar?"
Zhong Qiyuan said: "I haven't returned to the vulgarity, but I came back to deal with some vulgar affairs."
She didn't say what it was, and others didn't ask much, but seeing that they went straight to Shu's house, she knew that they were probably collecting rent.
They looked at each other and shook their heads: Mrs. Meng came to collect rent many times but returned empty-handed. Can the two little girls get the money
Zhong Qiyuan knew that no one was optimistic about them, but she didn't care.
She first politely explained to the tenant Shu Shuang the purpose of her coming, and then the tenant, who was already in her 60s, saw that the visitor was just a thirteen-year-old hairy girl, and she didn't even bother with the tricks she used to fool Meng. After using it, he confidently said: "This year's harvest is not good, and there is really no rent to pay."
Zhong Qiyuan took out the account book, took out another abacus calculation, and made the calculation clear:
"Seven years ago, you rented the land of my Zhong family, and agreed to pay five buckets of rice per mu, and eighty mu is forty stone meters. In the first five years, you never owed rent tax. It's just these two years that you didn't excuse the poor harvest. , is crying and complaining that there are many children in the family and they need to support the family, so they either only pay a few stones of rice, or they use IOUs to prevaricate my mother, and this year, I don't even bother to give IOUs.
"Eighty acres of land, including 30 acres of upper fields, 30 acres of middle fields, and 20 acres of lower fields. In a good year, the upper fields can produce two or three shi of rice, and the 30 acres can be calculated as 70 shi; the middle and lower fields can produce three shi of rice together. One hundred and fifty stones in total.
"Last year in floods, production was reduced by 30%, and there were more than 150 shi of rice, but you only paid 5 shi of rice.
"This year there is a little more rain, and there are locusts, but it will not flood, so even if your harvest is halved, there will still be one hundred and ten stones.
"I don't care about the soybeans. The harvest is halved, and the rent is also halved, so I have to pay twenty stone rent, right? There are more than a dozen people in your family, and there are people in my family who need to eat, don't they?"
Shu Shuang didn't expect that a girl of hers would calculate the account so clearly, a dark old face stretched out, and the gloomy face made it even darker.
His son yin and yang said strangely: "One hundred stone rice, our family can barely eat enough, but you, Aye, are a high-ranking official with a high salary. Without these twenty stone rent, you will not starve to death!"
Zhong Qiyuan: "..."
She said to the system: "This is a seedling who is the host of the white lotus. His moral kidnapping skills are superb. Remember to recommend him to your Lord God."
system:"… "
Don't think that you can't hear the criteria for choosing a host from the inner god!
However, what she said also made sense. After all, the Lord God just saw her behavior as being too hateful, and only brought her to be the villain host after her death.
Shu Shuang didn't scold his son, obviously he thought so too.
Zhong Qiyuan didn't want to sell miserably, but she had to make it clear to them: "So what? When you become a high official, you have to give the land to you for free? If you are really afraid of the master who is a high official, you will not So bold and presumptuous."
"What's the meaning?"
"What do you mean? You don't care about the family or the life of your original wife and daughter because you see Zhong Zao being away for many years. It is expected that there will be no serious consequences for you to bully orphans and widows. That's why you dare to fool my mother and bully us!"
The Shu family was slightly shocked. They didn't expect this girl's film to be so clear, and they didn't expect her to dare to say it!
Shu Shuang gritted his teeth and complained, "You guys are exploiting! Come on, everyone, the officials exploit us poor people!"
Zhong Qiyuan didn't like his trick, turned his head and asked a onlooker farmer: "How much tax do the tenants pay on your side?"
If it was Zhong Zao, or a big man, who came here today, everyone would feel that the Zhong family was strong and sympathized with the Shu family. But now there are two girls, one is thirteen years old and the other is only six years old. In contrast, they are naturally more sympathetic.
The farmer said, "Five percent."
Zhong Qiyuan pretended to be surprised: "Five percent? That's the rent tax for one acre of land and five buckets of rice for one stone?!" She turned to look at the Shu family, "How much is the difference between five buckets of rice and five buckets of rice, you don't need me to help you? Do it again?"
Before the Shu family responded, she had another look of sympathy, "We also know that it's not easy for you, otherwise, when Aon was alive, he would not have charged less than 20% of the rent when he generally charged 50% of the rent."
She changed the subject and pointed at a fat white boy in the room, "But, your child looks about the same age as my sister, but look at my sister, the flesh on her body is less than half his size!"
The Shu family hurriedly carried the boy back to the house, but the balance in everyone's heart had already tipped towards the sisters.
Some people think that they are both tenants, but they have to pay 50% of the rent tax themselves, and the Shu family only pays less than 20%, but they are still crying about the owner's exploitation, and their hearts are sour and annoyed.
They scrambled to say: "Little Daoist, why don't you rent the land to us, we will pay 20% of the rent!"
"No, rent it to me, I'll give you 25%!"
"I give 30%!"
Some gritted their teeth and said, "I'll give 40%!"
Zhong Qiyuan has already expressed it in a civilized way, and his patience has also been exhausted.
Then she put away her mild side and said in a cold voice, "Now you only have two options, either you can immediately make up the rent you owe in previous years, and then find another home. Or I will go to the government and sue you, even renting Compensate us with interest."
The Shu family's face turned pale, and Shu Shuang even threw a plop and knelt down to Zhong Qiyuan: "I beg the little lady to give our family a way to survive."
System: "Host, you look like a villain!"
"If this is considered a villain, then you underestimate me too much." Zhong Qiyuan was not ashamed of it at all, but said to the Shu family, "You are not sincere enough."
The Shu family looked at each other in dismay, and suddenly understood what she meant in the silent exchange—she wanted all of the Shu family to kneel down and beg her.
The cool eldest son shouted angrily, "How can you be so vicious at such a young age?"
Zhong Qiyuan took out the whisk from his wide sleeve and swept it across his face, and he was immediately thrown to the ground.
"Ah—" he groaned, lying on the ground covering his face.
This time, everyone was stunned.
Well said, why did you start it
And the eldest son of Shushuang is not very tall and mighty, but he is also considered to be of medium-to-high level here. How did a little girl who was only as high as his chest knocked him to the ground
"Begging for someone should have an attitude of asking for someone." Zhong Qiyuan smiled slightly, but her smile made everyone shudder.
Don't talk about these people, even the system was shocked: "Hey, host, I am the assist system, not the villain system!"
"Don't bully Grandpa!" The boy who was carried into the house by the Shu family rushed out holding the sickle and swung straight towards Zhong Qiyuan. The latter stretched out his foot and kicked him back into the arms of the Shu family with just a light touch.
"He's just a child!" The young woman yelled at Zhong Qiyuan, hugging the crying boy.
"Don't worry, whether it's men, women or the elderly and children, I will treat them equally." Zhong Qiyuan exuded the vibe of a villain.
Everyone: "… "
Can't be treated equally at this time? Respect the old and love the young, right
In order to prevent Zhong Qiyuan from killing him, the system cried out to Yun Congwan for help.
And Yun Cong Wan was brushing honey on the roasted wings when she suddenly received this news. She thought she hadn't seen it, but she was curious about what terrible things Zhong Qiyuan could do, so she brought people with her.
When they saw more than a dozen members of the Shu family kneeling down towards Zhong Qiyuan, they had to say that it was not very harmful, but extremely insulting.
If they weren't kneeling with two girls who looked more pitiful than them, Yun Congwan would have thought it was a bully who was bullying the good people.
Some people couldn't stand it any longer and came out to fight the injustice: "Little Daoist, you are a monk, isn't this too much?"
Zhong Qiyuan waved his whisk: "I cultivate the Tao, not the Buddha, and I don't have the heart of a bodhisattva like the Buddhist family. But you reminded me of one thing, it is my expertise to do things for others. Do you want me to do a ritual for you? ?"
"Isn't this just about killing people?"
Being intimidated by her like this, the number of people who complained about injustice decreased by more than half.
Zhong Chuyuan quietly lay on the ox cart to watch, although she didn't quite understand what was going on, but she felt that her sister was amazing!
Suddenly, she saw a familiar figure outside the crowd, jumped down from the bullock cart, ran over, and took Yun Congwan's hand: "Sister Yun, what a coincidence!"
"What are you doing?" Yun Congwan asked.
Zhong Chuyuan made a big circle: "Do something big!"
Looking at Li Zheng who came in a hurry.
Yun Congwan: "…"
This has been a big deal, and in a sense, it is indeed a big deal.
But what does it have to do with her
She asked someone to bring the roasted wings and gave one to Zhong Chuyuan.
"Wow, what is this?" Zhong Chuyuan asked while holding the roasted wings.
"Roast, it should be called fried chicken wings here."
"Thank you, Sister Yun!" Zhong Chuyuan took a bite, her eyes sparkling, "Sweet, delicious!"
"That's because of the honey." Yun Congwan knew that children like sweets, so he gave her the one that was brushed with honey.
Zhong Chuyuan only took two bites and stopped eating, and Yun Congwan asked her, "Why don't you eat it while it's hot?"
"Such delicious food, Yuanyuan wants to give my sister and mother a taste!"
Yun Congwan glanced at Zhong Qiyuan, thinking that people who are essentially an old monster should not be interested. She said, "You finish eating first, and I'll bring you two back to them."
"Yeah!" Zhong Chuyuan nibbled like a squirrel.
System: "Auditor, do you care about the host?"
Yun Congwan: "Isn't this a small world that hasn't collapsed yet, it's about to collapse."
system:"… "
Then dare you to be the li in the melon field
Let's look at another yin in the melon field who eats melons happily - the son of luck.
