Qin Shan and Chen Feng were busy carrying rice to the tenants for weighing. Qin Xiaoxiao took out the account book and wrote down the names of the tenants, the tenants and the amount of the rent.

After it is recorded, the renter must put his fingerprint on it to indicate that he has no objection to the confirmation. If any problems arise later, the person can be found in time.

Seeing the jin liang listed, Liu Jin frowned and calculated it, and whispered to Hu Qingqing: "Sister, the rent collected from so much land is only so little, why not pay some wages and hire people to do the work, and collect it like this?"

All the food is my own."

The yield of rice per mu is about 350 kilograms. If the weather is good and there are no pests and no harm, it can be another 20 to 30 kilograms. This year is another good harvest year, and the average yield of more than 50 acres of rice in this small village has reached 300 kilograms.

One hundred and seventy pounds.

Calculated based on the yield per mu, at least 5,000 kilograms of rice can be harvested today. The rice has been dried and can be sold in the city for more than 20 taels of silver. Counting the wheat rent in early summer, it will be harvested in one year.

The rent does not exceed fifty taels.

If you grow it yourself, you will definitely make a fortune. My cousin really doesn't know how to settle accounts and lost a lot of money in vain.

"It's too laborious to hire people by yourself. Your cousin is too lazy to do it." As expected of the sisters who grew up together, Hu Qingqing exposed Qin Xiaoxiao's true nature in one sentence: "It makes it easier and less troublesome for tenant farming to go out. The tenants want a good harvest."

, I will definitely take care of it carefully, and if the year is bad, your cousin will not suffer any loss."

The most important thing is that this guy is not short of money. He can just lie in bed and be a rice bug all day long!

Looking at the rice fields, Liujin still felt that his cousin was too lazy, so he said with some emotion: "Sister, when I grow up, I will rent my cousin's rice and plant it. Wouldn't I make a lot of money this way?"

Hu Qingqing flicked his head with her finger and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll talk to your cousin later. Maybe for the sake of being a relative, your cousin is willing to give you another half of the rent."

When he heard Liu Jin, his little eyes brightened up, and a good way to make a fortune gradually took shape in his little mind.

Hu Qingqing didn't want to attack him, thinking that after deducting the rent, taxes and grain, the remaining grain would be used to pay the wages of the hired workers, and there wouldn't be much left. If there was a famine, he might even lose his pants.

"Village chief, when you called for help just now, did everyone come?" Qin Xiaoxiao checked twice and found that only seventeen households had paid the rent in full, and the remaining three households were not present.

, Zhuzi didn’t even see it, so he asked the village chief.

"I've called, I've called, is there someone who didn't pay?" The village chief looked at her account book, but he couldn't read and didn't know whose name was on it and who wasn't.

"Well, there are three families we have no relationship with. They are called Chu Dahu? Chu Erhu and Chu Sanhu? The names seem to be three brothers." Qin Xiaoxiao compared the names of twenty tenants and read out the three names: "This is Chu Erhu's.

Does the name sound familiar? It seems that it was his house that failed to pay the rent as scheduled last year."

The village chief's face became very ugly, and he quickly said: "Perhaps they forgot in a hurry, I will go over and remind them." After that, he called a few villagers who were waiting to transport food, and hurried to find the Chu family.

Brothers.

As soon as they left? Other villagers started talking:

"Last year, Chu Erhu refused to pay the rent and had to drag it out with his employer for half a month? Later, his employer said that he would take back the five acres of land that he had given to him? It was his mother who came to beg the employer while she was sick, so the employer did not pursue it? This year he is afraid that

He's doing it again, and he's dragging his eldest brother and his third brother along with him."

"Why is he doing this? Is it possible that he expects his employer to waive his rent? Thinking about it, I know it's impossible!"

"It's hard to say. If he decides to play rogue, maybe he will succeed."

"I don't think so? It's easy for them to manipulate a little girl from my boss's house. How can my boss let them do whatever they want?"

"..."

These words fell into Qin Shan's ears one by one. He was so angry that he rolled up his sleeves and said to his daughter: "Xiaoxiao, don't worry, they really dare to do this, dad will definitely let them stand and walk sideways!"

"Dad, don't be impulsive." Qin Xiaoxiao persuaded: "This is Lao Niu Village. They have a large number of people. What if you are not the one who suffers in a fight?"

Qin Shan was not afraid at all. He patted his chest and said, "Don't worry. When your father and I were young, we were invincible from all over the country. We were just a few turtle grandsons, and I would beat each of them."

Qin Xiaoxiao said helplessly: "Dad, you are old enough to be a grandfather."

Qin Shan was dissatisfied and clenched his fists: "When I become a grandpa, I can train them to be grandsons!"

Qin Xiaoxiao couldn't help but said to Chen Feng on the side: "Brother Chen, look at my dad later and don't let him do anything."

Chen Feng nodded without glaring at his boss.

After about two moments, the village chief and others came back, but their faces looked a little strange.

"Boss, Chu Erhu and the others will be here in a while. Just wait." The village chief walked up to Qin Xiaoxiao and said, his expression no longer the anxious look before.

Qin Xiaoxiao was thoughtful, looking at their faces one by one, and then nodded: "Give them a moment more grace. If they still refuse to pay the rent after a moment, I will ask someone from the county government to come.

'Help' them pay."

The village chief's expression changed, and he forced a smile and said: "My boss is joking, this little thing is of no use to alarm the official."

Qin Xiaoxiao also smiled: "They know each other well, so there is no need to alert the officials."

In other words, if Chu Erhu and the three brothers didn't understand each other, she would have no chance of compromising.

The village chief was surprised to see that the girl in front of him, who had a kind-hearted and soft-hearted image and a natural smile, could have such a tough side, but he was doubtful that she could ask officials to help her.

.

For a moment, he didn't know whether he should change his mind and let the three tigers of the Chu family pay the rent as soon as possible.

The people in Laoniu Village only knew that the man who bought the small farm was named Qin. They had no idea where the Qin family was, nor did they know that the owner had a third uncle who was an official and an eldest brother.

If they knew Qin Xiaoxiao's origins, the three Chu brothers would not dare to refuse to pay the land rent. However, Qin Xiaoxiao did not want to take advantage of Qin He and Dabao's power to deal with village bullies like the three Chu brothers. She had many ways

.

Ignoring the village chief's speculation, Qin Xiaoxiao sat on the only intact chair in his house, sipping the honeysuckle tea cooked by the village chief's wife peacefully and leisurely, not forgetting to fill a cup for each of Qin Shan and the others.

The village chief was in a state of uncertainty. He couldn't bear the pressure Qin Xiaoxiao put on him. He whispered to a villager who went with him to find the three tigers of the Chu family: "Let them bring the rent over as soon as possible, and don't make any mistakes again!"

The villagers glanced at Qin Xiaoxiao secretly and said in a low voice: "If the village chief, Chu Erhu and the three brothers plan something, we will benefit from it. If it doesn't, it's none of our business. Just let them go and let them cause trouble!"

"

After hearing this, the village chief hesitated for a moment, and finally waved his hand: "Go quickly, just take what I say. It's their business whether they listen or not."

The villagers felt that with Chu Erhu's temperament, he would not listen to the village chief's words, so they turned around and ran to Chu Erhu's house without saying anything else.

"Xiaoxiao, are they plotting against you?" Hu Qingqing felt very uneasy when she saw this scene.

"It's okay, let them plot." Qin Xiaoxiao didn't care and didn't take Chu Erhu and his like seriously: "Just give me a reason to increase the rent."

Hu Qingqing asked curiously: "You didn't decide the rent. If you want to take back half of the rent you gave away, it's just a matter of saying a word?"

Qin Xiaoxiao shook his head: "They will come later, please watch carefully."

Hu Qingqing didn't understand what she meant, but she still agreed: "Of course I have to watch carefully. If anyone dares to bully you, I will blow his head off!"

As she said that, she looked around, quickly walked to a corner filled with debris, pulled out a stick as thick as a child's arm, and stood in front of Qin Xiaoxiao.

"I'm going to blow his dog's head off too!" Liu Jin aroused his desire to protect his sisters, and he followed suit by pulling out a slightly thinner stick from the corner and dancing like a tiger.

Qin Xiaoxiao felt warm and let them go.

Not long after, there was a burst of chaotic footsteps in the alley ahead. When the villagers looked, they saw a group of people swarming out carrying several baskets of rice.

They were men and women, old and young. They didn't look like they were here to pay the rent, but more like they were here to cause trouble.

The person in the lead was Chu Erhu. He rushed to Qin Xiaoxiao with a powerful stride, pointed at a few baskets of rent and said: "My boss, the food harvest is poor this year. Our brothers can only pay so much. If there are more children and elderly people,

It’s time to get hungry.”

"Bah, you're fucking lying in broad daylight. Do you think I'm a fool when you look at me?" Qin Shan had a hot temper. He was so angry at Chu Erhu's shameless words that he stepped forward and wanted to take action.

"Dad, please go through the scales with Brother Chen first." Qin Xiaoxiao stopped him in time, without any trace of anger on his face: "We have to see how much the 25% of the rent is collected, and then we can settle the accounts with them.

Be careful."

Upon hearing this, Qin Shan knew that his daughter had a plan in mind. He glared at Chu Erhu fiercely, turned around, picked up the scale beam standing next to him, and weighed the three baskets of rice with Chen Feng.

In fact, there is no need to weigh at all. There are a lot of things in these baskets. For example, if it is rice, one basket weighs about fifty kilograms. Sure enough, these three baskets of rice are no more or less, adding up to exactly one hundred and fifty kilograms.

"You three brothers have rented eight acres of my land in total. Based on your family's harvest this year, you will have to pay at least 700 kilograms of rice. Now you have only paid 150 kilograms. Isn't this too much of a difference?" Qin Xiao

Staring at Chu Erhu with a smile, his tone remained calm.

"Master, it's not that we don't want to pay our dues, it's that the harvest is too poor and we only have so much." Chu Erhu continued to use the reason for the poor harvest as an excuse. He also pointed at the old man and child behind him with yellow muscles and ragged clothes and said: "Just look at this.

For their pity, the rest of the rent will be waived. Anyway, your family has a big business and there is no shortage of this food."

Qin Xiaoxiao was not surprised to hear such remarks and asked: "Last year you delayed and refused to pay the rent, and this year you are only willing to pay 20% of the rent. Will next year, you will use other reasons to completely pay the rent?"

Don’t pay anymore?”

Chu Erhu waved his hands repeatedly: "Master, what can I do? I have rented your land and it is reasonable for me to pay you rent. But you have also seen that life in our village is difficult. Your rent can be less, like us

The ones I handed in today are pretty good."

Now Qin Xiaoxiao couldn't hold it back, and laughed completely at his shameless words: "Since you think my rent is high, I will take back these eight acres of land, and you can just plant it, because even a grain of rent will be lost."

No need to pay it!”

Chu Erhu's face suddenly changed, and he fell to the ground crying: "Master, what will we eat if there is no land? You are forcing our whole family to die!"

With a crash, the Chu family members standing behind him sat on the ground one after another, accusing with tears in their eyes: "Oh my God, God is blind. In this peaceful and prosperous age, some people are rich and unkind, and the poor people have no way to survive, no way to survive!"

Qin Shan's expression changed completely, he pointed at Chu Erhu who was causing trouble and cursed: "You are so fucking shameless, my daughter will charge you half of the rent. Forget it if you are ungrateful, you are still here spouting shit, you deserve it for generations to come.

Let’s suffer and be poor!”

These words stirred up a hornet's nest. Not only did Chu Erhu and others feel sad, but even the village chief and others who had nothing to do with him looked at him angrily.
