Chapter 44: Xu's Family Moves, Xiao Wang Is Pregnant

Time quickly came to mid-January, which was also the day when the Xu family moved out of Wanying Village.

There were several moles parked outside the Xu family's house. They were all parked by Old Man Wang and others who had come to help with the move.

Villagers from Wanying Village were also helping to move things onto the mule cart.

It is said that a poor home is worth a thousand virtues, and this is indeed true. The Xu family had been in Wanying Village for less than two months, and the things they had sorted out had filled up half of the yard.

The most of them were Xu Nian's seeds and potted plants. Xu Nian was reluctant to even throw away the shelves made by Xu Weian.

Xu Nian was like this, not to mention the Wang mother-in-law and daughter-in-law who were good at managing the household. They looked like they wanted to dig out all the rat holes.

After all the things were moved, the Xu family planned to set off. They had to arrive at the manor according to the time calculated by Wang.

"Sister-in-law Xu, come back and visit when you have time."

"Big sister, don't forget us."

"Chunxiu, when you go to the county town, come to see me at the farm. This rabbit is for you."

"Xiao Taohua, remember me. When I grow up, I will come back and marry you."

Xu Nian: “…”

The donkey cart led the way, followed closely by five mule carts. After more than half an hour, they arrived at the farm. The tenants heard that the owner was moving in today, so they all waited here early to come and help.

There is strength in numbers, and it only took two quarters of an hour to put everything in place.

"Thank you all for your help today. It's almost noon. Don't leave. Let's eat here."

When Old Man Wang heard what Old Man Xu said, several people agreed immediately without any hesitation. However, the tenants who came to help didn't know what to do for a moment.

Xu Nian persuaded, "Stay for dinner, I have something to talk to you guys about after dinner."

So, several people sat down uncomfortably.

Because they had just moved here, there was no food or meat at home, and Xu Nian didn't want to burden his family with cooking for so many people.

"Uncle, take Xiaoji and the others to the county town restaurant to set up a few tables for the feast. Don't forget to buy a few bottles of good wine."

Wang felt distressed when she heard this and whispered, "That feast is so expensive, girl. Just ask your uncle to buy some food and meat and we can cook it ourselves."

Xu Nian advised helplessly: "Grandma, we are all tired today. Besides, the prince and his men have been busy for so long, but they are not worthy of a table of food. You have to show the courage of an old lady from an official family."

Wang was so amused by Xu Nian that she didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "You are just good at talking. Okay, Wei'an, go and get it done."

Xu Weian ran away excitedly with his three nephews. It was his first time to go to a restaurant, so he had to take a good look.

Xu Nian then made two pots of ginger tea and brought them to the main room.

The three sisters-in-law of the Tian family were visiting each room and were extremely satisfied with this courtyard.

"Sister-in-law, next time you and brother come back, you'll have a place to live. You don't have to squeeze in like before."

"Yes, sister-in-law, we are close now, come back and take a look if you have nothing to do."

Tian indeed thought so, otherwise it would be boring for her to stay alone in the county government office.

"Okay, I'll listen to you two brothers and sisters. I'll come back more often if I have nothing else to do."

The two young guys, Xu Ling and Xu Cai, were also extremely excited. They were clearly in tears and reluctant to leave their playmates just an hour ago.

Xu Weian and his companions returned fairly quickly, and the food was still warm. The three sisters-in-law of the Tian family set up three tables in the dining room.

Xu Nian looked at the dishes. It was a restaurant. The ingredients were rich and the meal was a real treat for both the guests and guests.

However, there was a small incident during this period. When Xiao Wang ate the steamed dried fish, she suddenly vomited. Xu Nian's first reaction was that the dish was not cleaned properly.

Wang was more experienced. She immediately removed a few greasy dishes and said happily, "Mr. Third, I'll take you to the clinic to check your pulse tomorrow. Drink some water to relieve the pressure first."

Xiao Wang lowered her head in embarrassment, but still agreed while suppressing her shyness.

At this time, Tian and Zheng also reacted and congratulated him.

Wang Laohan and others heard this and said, "Congratulations to the Xu brothers, this is double happiness, haha~"

Old Man Xu was also very happy. What old people want is to have many children and grandchildren and for the next generation to be successful.

Xu Youliang, who was going to be a father soon, happily drank another big bowl of wine.

For a moment, the atmosphere at the table reached a climax.

After eating and drinking, Old Man Wang and his companions returned to Wanying Village. The tenants sat in the main hall waiting for instructions from the master.

The men in the house were all drunk, so Xu Nian asked Wang and others to take care of them, and she went to the main room to meet the tenants.

When the tenant saw that it was the young lady of the master's family who came in, he stood up and greeted her.

"Everyone, please don't be polite. Please sit down and talk.

I am here to tell you one thing. I remember that your rent was based on 60% to 40% before? "

The tenants nodded, feeling a little uneasy. Did the landlord want to raise the rent for them?

"I can re-sign a document with you, and you only need to pay 50% of the rent from now on.

But from now on, you can plant whatever I want, and I will buy what you plant at the market price. Of course, I can also exchange it for food. Are you willing?"

The tenants were both happy and worried. They were happy because they got an extra 10% in rent; but they were worried about what would happen if the crops they planted did not produce a good harvest.

Xu Nian could also see their worries, but she would not promise them anything. If you want to get something, you must pay first.

"You can discuss it carefully when you get back. If you don't want to rent the land anymore, let me know and I'll give you the written documents."

The tenants would have no reason to hesitate. There were many other places that collected 70% of the rent. If they didn't rent the fields here, those blood-sucking landlords would probably be able to find them by smelling the scent.

Since there was no objection to this matter, Xu Nian asked the three Xu Ji brothers to rewrite the document and hand it over to the tenants.

After seeing off the tenants, Xu Nian, who originally wanted to take a break, unexpectedly saw an unexpected person, Master Guan who was accompanying Luo Jinan. He wondered why this person came here?

"Ms. Xu, do you still remember me?"

"I have an impression"

Guan Qingrui didn't expect the girl to be so straightforward, and said with a smile: "I am here to give Miss Xu a gift on behalf of the prince."

Xu Nian took the letter from Guan Qingrui and put it away, then asked, "Where is Luo Jin'an? Is he feeling better?"

Guan Qingrui smiled softly. He thought that the only person who could call her Luo Jinan directly was probably the girl in front of him.

"The princess has had a relapse of her old illness, and the prince has already returned to the royal city. He didn't have time to say goodbye to Miss Xu, so I had to make this trip."

Guan Qingrui hesitated for a moment and then added another sentence.

"If Miss Xu has time, why not write to the prince from time to time? I think the prince will be very happy."

Xu Nian naturally agreed. This was her God of Wealth, how could she not worship him? What's more, Luo Jinan was a very nice friend, and she, Xu Nian, was the most loyal person.

Guan Qingrui thought he had expressed himself clearly, and set off back to the royal city with satisfaction, but he didn't know that the two of them were not on the same wavelength at all.
