Chapter 578 Ding Qiuyue doesn't have the courage
Ma felt very jealous and pretended to smile and congratulate them a few times. Then she couldn't wait to show off her son Liulang, saying that Liulang would definitely become an official in the future.
As long as Liu Lang becomes an official in the future, he will earn more than one tael of silver a month, or even more than ten taels.
Niu curled her lips. What's the use? Liu Lang is not an official yet.
However, Niu was not sure whether Liu Lang would become an official in the future, so she did not dare to say anything too absolute.
Anyway, nice words don't cost any money, so he just agreed to Ma's words casually.
Ma was in high spirits.
Qiao Xuan wrote a letter to Le Zhengxiao, telling him about Yuba and others.
It will take at least half a month for the Yan family to open for business, but there is no need to rush.
Ding Qiuyue returned to the Zhao Mansion. As expected, when Mr. Zhao heard that she had not done anything, he scolded her, calling her "waste!" and "idiot!"
Ding Qiuyue held her breath, lowered her head, and knelt on the ground, not daring to breathe.
When Master Zhao had scolded her enough and coldly ordered her to tell the story in detail, she dared to speak.
After hearing Ding Qiuyue's words, Mr. Zhao didn't quite believe it in his heart.
Could it be that the eldest wife of the Shao family has become a spirit? How could it be such a coincidence? Why didn't she allow Ding Qiuyue to come over?
This isn't the right thing for these fellow villagers.
Isn't it time for someone to come visit?
"Did you reveal something?"
"Master, how dare I! I didn't even dare to say a word to my own family."
Mr. Zhao remained silent.
That's true.
Ding Qiuyue doesn't have the courage.
She didn't even dare to lie in front of him.
No matter what the reason, the eldest wife of the Shao family would not let her come, so she had no choice.
This is really, really unlucky.
"Okay, go down now. If I find out you lied, hmph, think carefully about whether you can bear the consequences! If you really lied, you'd better make it clear as soon as possible."
"Master, I would never dare to lie to you!"
Mr. Zhao said nothing more, and waved his sleeves: "Go down!"
Ding Qiuyue almost collapsed from exhaustion and retreated in a hurry.
Mr. Zhao paced back and forth in the study, becoming more and more angry the more he thought about it. He would never let this matter go, absolutely not!
Mrs. Zhao also knew about this. Seeing that he was angry, she sneered and said slowly, "The master is possessed by a demon. That bitch is obviously not a smart person. It's not surprising that she messed up even the simplest things. If this method doesn't work, then use other methods. As long as we make it impossible for them to grow crops in their fields, what else can he do except sell them to the master?"
Mr. Zhao was enlightened, clapped his hands and laughed, "Yes, madam is right, this is a good idea!"
Mr. Zhao conspired with the housekeeper, who sent people to Zhangjia Village to inquire. Finally, they selected two tenants and bribed them to find a way to poison the six cows that Shao Yunduan and his men had bought and destroy the rice seeds that had been distributed to the tenants.
After the matter was accomplished, not only would they be given twenty taels of silver each, but they would also be given land to farm at a very low rent.
The two tenant households had not had good intentions to begin with, but when they heard that it was profitable, they couldn't resist the temptation and agreed even though it was risky.
The tenants had relatively poor living conditions and visited each other frequently. Their homes were small, so it was easy to spoil the rice seeds as long as they knew where they were placed.
Pour half a can of boiling water into the bag, and the seeds will either be cooked directly or fermented and spoiled, and can no longer be sown.
