Chapter 995 Rumors
Zhang Juexia thought that these people had gotten used to it over the years, and it would be difficult to ask them to change suddenly. "Forget it, let's take it slow!"
Qin Eryong nodded and said, "Sister-in-law, I'll accompany you for a walk."
Qin Eryong talked as he walked, and finally came to the field. Liu Wanfeng and Ye Yunhai were talking about something with a group of young people.
Zhang Juexia didn't move forward, but stopped. She asked Qin Eryong, "What's going on?"
"We found a group of young men from the village who were about the same age as Shitou, and asked Brother Wanfeng and Uncle Yunhai to help lead them."
"That is to say, when those people were talking to us just now, these guys were not here."
"Um."
"I think the guy called Stone Monkey, Shi Ergou, and Liu Sanyue are pretty good too."
"Sister-in-law, I understand. I've been observing them. They have other uses."
Zhang Juexia just glanced at Qin Eryong and continued walking forward.
"You must say this farm is really nice."
"That's right. It's really much bigger than Cuiliu Manor."
"Eryong, let me ask you something. Have you ever thought about coming to this manor and being the manager?"
"Me?"
"Besides you, is there anyone else here?"
Qin Eryong rubbed his hands nervously, “Sister-in-law, I, I haven’t thought about it, but I am here, what should Brother Shen Liang do?
And what about Cuiliu Manor?"
“Do you think Shen Liang has the time to watch here every day?”
Qin Eryong shook his head.
There was a large open space in front. Zhang Juexia found a clean stone and sat down. "Let's sit down and talk. I want to ask you, if you come here, will Cuiliu Manor have a suitable candidate to replace you?
Eryong, let's be frank with you. You are not allowed to have any selfish motives when choosing a recommender. You must choose the right person.
After all, he has to take care of the people and things in the entire village, as well as the workshop and the fish pond, and he can't be careless about any of them."
Qin Eryong looked into the distance, "Sister-in-law, the scenery here is so beautiful!"
Zhang Juexia also looked into the distance, and soon a new idea came to her mind.
Qin Eryong retracted his gaze and looked at Zhang Juexia, "Sister-in-law, I will never be able to repay you and Brother Bei Xiu for your kindness.
It’s just that this happened a little too suddenly, let me think about it.”
"Okay! I won't force you. If you're willing to come here, you can be the manager here.
If you are willing to return to Cuiliu Manor, you will still be the manager of Cuiliu Manor."
"Thank you, sister-in-law."
"Eryong, these things are not allowed between us.
Your brother Bei Xiu and I have long treated you as our own brother."
"I know."
"Eryong, what do you think about us digging this area into a fish pond?"
Qin Eryong was confused by Zhang Juexia's question, "Sister-in-law, do you want to raise fish here?"
"I have this idea."
"Then we need to find someone to take a good look at it."
"Eryong, here's what I'm thinking: dig a fish pond here, plant some flowers and plants there, plant some fruit trees there, and build some houses over there.
After everything is done, we will build a gate here and hang a sign saying it is a leisure villa.
Those who come can go fishing, barbecue, play cards, enjoy the flowers, and pick fruits.
You can drink tea when you are thirsty, eat when you are hungry, and rest when you are tired.
Even in winter, those young men can come in to hunt.
In short, you can stay here as many days as you want.
Do you think this idea of mine is good?"
Qin Eryong muttered what Zhang Juexia had said several times, then said a few times, "Sister-in-law, your idea is really good!"
“In fact, I had this idea when I was in Cuiliu Manor.
However, after some investigation, I found that people in Shunhe County don’t seem to like this way of leisure.
But during my time in Qingfeng City, I found that the people here seemed to like this way of leisure.
Whenever I have free time, I invite everyone to come out and play.
However, the current situation of this manor is such that I am afraid it will take some time to get it back on track."
"Sister-in-law, don't worry, as long as we want to do it, we can do it quickly."
Qin Eryong was in high spirits, even he himself found it a little unbelievable.
Just as he was about to explain, the boy he had sent out to investigate came running over and said, "Boss, we've found out everything."
Qin Eryong pointed to another stone nearby and said, "Sit down and talk."
The young man took a deep breath and continued, "It turns out someone in the village spread rumors, saying that Shi Tou was sold to another place and even lost his life."
"Have you found out who spread the rumor?"
“It should be Liu Pishi’s group.
According to Liu Zhuangtou, the first person who said that stones were lifeless was Liu Pishi.
Then, he added fuel to the fire by saying that the lady also wanted to kill them.
They also said….”
The waiter stopped talking and looked at Zhang Juexia embarrassedly. Zhang Juexia pointed at the waiter and said, "Don't look at me. If you have something to say, just say it quickly. What's the matter? Did they say something unbearable?"
The boy looked at Qin Eryong again, and Qin Eryong was also a little impatient. "Just say it when I tell you to."
The young man mustered up his strength and spoke out in one breath, "They said that usually the lady comes to the farm alone to check on it, and the master is never seen."
"Does this have anything to do with them? My husband is out of town and can't come here with me.
If you could accompany me, you would have come earlier."
"But Liu Pishi said that you kept the stone because you liked him because he was young and could..."
Qin Eryong shouted, "That's enough! Has this been spread around the village?"
The young man was so frightened that he shook his head repeatedly, "Manager Qin, Village Head Liu has already told us not to let them talk nonsense anymore."
Qin Eryong took a few steps angrily, "I will not let this Liu Pishi go.
As for the stone, I will go to the city right now and bring it over so that everyone can have a good look at it."
Zhang Juexia called out to Qin Eryong, who had already walked away, "Alright, it won't be too late to ask Shitou to come tomorrow.
I won't lose much weight if they gossip about me.
But think carefully about what I just said.
I still have my son Ben at home, so I won't go back to the city with you."
After Qin Eryong sent Zhang Juexia away, he asked someone to urge the people in the village to move, and then he counted how many people were still living in thatched houses in the village.
He planned to move all these people into brick houses before winter.
At the same time, he asked Liu Jixiang to call several old men in the village. Of course, this time he specifically asked them not to call Old Liu.
After they sat down, he asked directly, "How will our wages be calculated from now on?
Do you have a charter?"
Qin Eryong's words left them all stunned.
Liu Jixiang asked nervously, "Manager Qin, aren't you just responsible for ensuring we have enough food to eat?
How come there is still wages?"
