Chapter 106: Driving Away the Tenant Farmers
Wu Xin walked up to Su Chenyu and advised, "Princess, collecting the moon potatoes is the most important thing right now. If you delay the harvest of the moon potatoes, you will suffer a great loss."
"Wu Xin, this princess hates being forced by others. Aren't they powerful? They can't even afford three taels of silver a month. Naturally, this medicine shop can't afford to support these big Buddhas. Let them go. You go find the tenants now." Su Chenyu was furious. "Now, pay all the wages immediately."
Seeing that Su Chenyu was so angry, Wu Xin stopped trying to persuade her and settled the wages with the tenant farmers in front of Su Chenyu. The tenant farmers took the wages and left without looking back.
When all the tenants had left, Su Chenyu instructed again, "Wu Xin, quickly go find other tenants to collect the moon potatoes. Don't delay."
Wu Xin looked respectful on the surface, but he was already very happy in his heart, just waiting for Su Chenyu to slap him in the face and invite these tenant farmers back.
After Wu Xin left, the anger on Su Chenyu's face slowly faded away, and she looked at her mother-in-law Xu Ma: "Madam, how is the matter going?"
Aunt Xu smiled and replied, "Princess, it's all settled."
After hesitating for a while, Aunt Xu still asked, "Princess, why do you still bother to deal with these evil tenants?"
"I don't know how many benefits Yao has enjoyed from the medicine shop over the years. If we just take it back, isn't it too easy for her?" Su Chenyu raised the corners of her lips slightly. If she wants to get the benefits from the medicine shop, she has to pay something, right?
The sky was getting darker and darker, even Aunt He was getting anxious. Why hadn't Wu Xin come back yet?
Su Chenyu was not in a hurry at all. She glanced at Aunt He and asked, "Aunt He, do you have any way to find this tenant farmer?"
Aunt He smiled awkwardly: "I used to be in charge of purchasing. How could I find these tenant farmers?"
"Aunt He, this princess has given you a chance." Su Chenyu tapped the table a few times with her fingers, and Aunt He's heart trembled when she heard it.
There was a "pop" sound, which was the sound of the candle bursting. The sound was very small, but it seemed so abrupt in this quiet environment.
Aunt He became even more nervous. Looking at Su Chenyu's face, which flickered in the candlelight, she realized that she had never seen through this person's mind. She was not as simple as she seemed.
But Aunt He no longer dared to gamble. If she revealed her true colors again, who could guarantee that Su Chenyu would not go back on her word? Who knows, she might still want to get back with Wu Xin?
"Princess, I really don't know what to do." Aunt He thought for a long time and finally answered like this.
As soon as he finished speaking, Yanyu came to report that Wu Xin had returned.
"Let him in."
As soon as Wu Xin came in, he knelt down and said, "Princess, my legs are almost broken from running. I really can't find other tenants in a short time."
Wu Xin was in a disheveled state, and even from such a distance, Su Chenyu could smell the stench of sweat emanating from him.
This play is really real.
"So what do you think we should do?"
